Abstract

Some genes like 18S rRNA, 26S rRNA, elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1a), and beta-tubulin (TUB) are members of housekeeping genes group that are commonly used as internal control in gene expression study. This study aimed to isolate those four housekeeping genes of tuntun angin (Elaeocarpus floribundus). The research material included fresh leaves of E. floribundus that were picked up from Kajuik Lake in Riau Province and four primer pairs. The procedures consisted of total DNA isolation using Genomic DNA Mini Kit Plant (Geneaid), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel, sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis. This study has been isolated 18S rRNA, 26S rRNA, EF1a, and TUB genes with the size of 422 bp, 922 bp, 856 bp, and 877 bp, respectively. The EF1a and TUB genes has never been reported in Elaeocarpaceae family. Thus, those partial DNA sequences are the first sequences reported from this species and can be used as reference genes in this plant after validation.

Abstract

Housekeeping gene is a gene expressed with a fixed level and in abundant amounts under various conditions. After validation, the housekeeping gene can be used as an internal control to normalize gene expression data. This study reports the isolation of several housekeeping genes in Durik-durik plant (Syzygium sp). This plant material in form of fresh leaves from Durik-durik plants are taken from Kajuik Lake, Riau Province. The next stage is total DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, electrophoresis, sequencing and data analysis using bioinformatic tools. The isolated housekeeping genes included 18S rRNA, actin, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), Beta-tubulin and Ubiquitin with sizes of 400 bp, 679 bp, 1134 bp, 836 bp, 1167 bp and 2155 bp, respectively. In addition to 18S rRNA, the five housekeeping genes are the first reported from the genus Syzygium and referable to isolate housekeeping genes in other species in this genus. The six housekeeping genes can be used as internal controls on Durik-durik plants after validation.
