[ Objective] This study aimed to clone the PsSFBB gene from Xinjiang pear for bioinformatics analysis. [ Method ] PsSFBB gene was cloned from an- thers of Qipan pear by using RT-PCR and RACE technologies for bioinformatics analysis. [Result] A SFBBt-α gene with a full-length of 1 231 bp was cloned and named PsSFBB6-α （Genbank accession number： EU909685）. PsSFBBt-ct gene encodes a protein of 378 amino acids, with an F-box motif composed of about 50 amino acids in the N-temfinal. According to the bioinformatics analysis, the molecular formula of PsSFB6-α protein is C2000 H3034 N517 O558S223, with relative molecu- lar mass of 43 987.5 and isoelectric point of 6.02, and the secondary structure is dominated by or-helices ; theoretically, the half life period is 30 h and the instabil- ity parameter is 55.21, so PsSFBB6-α protein is an instable protein ; in addition, it is predicted that PsSFBB6-α protein is a hydrophilic and non-secreted protein with lyases activity and specifically recognized substrates, which was consistent with the function of F-box protein. [ Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for further research on SFBB proteins and the mechanism of self-incompatibility and provided theoretical basis for breeding of self-compatible cultivars of Xinjiang pear and scientific arrangement of pollination trees in production to increase the yield and quality.
