Abstract: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a class of heat stress proteins which are widely found in bacteria, fungi, animals and plants. From the genomic of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, we obtained 23 Bx-HSPs, which are homologous to the HSPs gene of Caenorhabditis elegans. The biological characteristics of the proteins encoded by the genes, such as protein secondary structure, hydrophobicity, protein sequence motif, and tertiary structure, were predicted. It was revealed that the Bx-HSPs are of molecular chaperone characteristics. The results provide a theoretical basis of molecular biology for the study of stress physiology and adaptive range and risk analysis of B. xylophilus.

Key words: Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, Bx-HSPs, bioinformatics
