Mendelian transmission,structure and expression of transgenes following their injection into the cytoplasm of trout eggs

High frequencies of mosaic transgenic trout are generated when linear DNA fragments are injected into the egg cytoplasm. The fact that these animals transmit the foreign DNA to a minority of their offspring suggests that their germline is also mosaic, but it may also indicate that some transgenes are lost. We have produced seven F₂ families from wild-type females mated with F₁ transgenic males. In all of them, the ratio of transgenics was Mendelian, and classical Southern analyses clearly showed the segregation of one or two foreign loci. They also provide firm arguments for gene integration in families carrying single-copy transgenes. Images obtained by Southern blotting strongly suggest the presence of extrachromosomal linear concatemers in two other families. However, this hypothesis was contradicted by further analyses usingin situ hybridization on chromosomes and with pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The reconciliation of these apparently contradictory observations is allowed by a model in which integrated concatemers adopt hairpin loop structures at the junction of inversely oriented copies. Further experiments with denaturing electrophoresis, which opens such secondary structures, provides additional support for this model. In this stable gene transfer system accompanied by chromosomal integration, the CAT reporter gene was expressed from the promoter/enhancer of human cytomegalovirus early genes, in all tissues examined in F₀ fishes, as well as in the F₁ offsprings of nine males. This indicates that the palindromic structures of some of the transgenes do not prevent their expression.     

Divergence of two forms of Triphoturus in the eastern Pacific based on mtDNA cytochrome b gene sequences and larval morphology

Divergence between two eastern Pacific forms of Triphoturus , currently considered to belong to the same species was tested by DNA sequences of the cytochrome b gene (DNA obtained from larvae collected in northern Chile and from adults in the Southern California Bight) and examination of larval characters. The number of apparently fixed substitutions (12 among 31 variable sites, out of 1001 bases) was high and the pattern of mid‐lateral trunk pigmentation in larvae also differed consistently between the two forms. The results support the separate species status for T. mexicanus (North America) and T. oculeus (Central‐South America).     

黄鳝基因组中存在酪氨酸蛋白激酶受体基因同源序列

近年的研究表明。酪氨酸蛋白激酶受体通过其细胞膜外部的结构域与细胞外的信号分子配体结合后,激活本身位于细胞质内的激酶结构域。磷酸化的酪氨酸进而激活下游一系列信号分子。这些分子的激活引起细胞内基因表达的改变、最终导致细胞本身表型状态的变化。本文发现并研究了存在于鱼类中的酪氨酸蛋白激酶受体基因的同源序列ｍａｔｋ。实验用黄鳝和胡子鲇为集市采购。ＰＣＲ扩增采用人ＳＲＹ基因编码区的一对引物。分别为：５’ＣＣＣＧＡＡＴＴＣＧＡＣＡＡＴＧＣＡＡＴＣＡＴＡＴＧＣＴＴＣＴＧＣ３’和５’ＣＴＧＴＡＧＣＧＧＴＣＣＣＧＴＴＧＣＴＧＣＧＧＴＧ３’。分别制备雌雄性黄鳝基因组ＤＮＡ。进行ＰＣＲ扩增。２％琼脂糖凝胶电泳分析表明,雌雄性样品中均可见到约２５０ｂｐ的扩增带。将雄性的扩增产物ｍａｔｋ重组到ｐＵＣ１３载体上。对其进行测序。结果表明：ｍａｔｋ与人ＳＲＹ和ＳＲＹ盒基因序列无同源性,而与最近才报道的大鼠酪氨酸蛋白激酶受体基因ｐｔｋ３ｃＤＮＡ５’端序列具有５６％的序列一致性（图１）。有报导,人与鼠的酪氨酸蛋白激酶受体基因ＤＤＲ和ｐｔｋ３存在９６％的同源性。表明这种酪氨酸蛋白受体基因具有很强的保守性。以ｍａｔｋ为探针,对经过ＥｃｏＲＩ酶切过的

DNA uptake by imbibition and expression of a foreign gene in rice

Uptake of DNA by imbibition of dry and viable rice ( Oryza sativa L.) embryos from a DNA solution and expression of a foreign gene were detected using two different vectors contaíning gusA (β-glucuronidase) and hpt (hygromycin phosphotransferase) as reporter genes. The frequency of transient expression of gusA and hpt genes using the CaMV35S promoter was about 30 to 50%. The main sites of gusA gene expression were meristems of roots and vascular bundles of leaves. Also, DNA uptake, integration and expression of the hpt gene in selected rice were investigated by various PCR methods and Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA. It was shown that the hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) DNA was present in the rice genome in an integrated form and not as a plasmid form.

Identification of the Hind III polymorphic site in the PAI-1 gene: analysis of the PAI-1 Hind III polymorphism by PCR

The identification of the Hind III polymorphic site in the 3' end of the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) gene and a simple method to identify the Hind III polymorphism rapidly in the PAI-1 gene using PCR is described. The Hind III restriction site was identified by restriction site mapping and sequence analysis from a cosmid DNA clone. Genomic DNA was isolated from individual human umbilical cords and a 754-bp fragment of the human PAI-1 gene was amplified by PCR. Aliquots of the PCR products were digested with Hind III and analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The presence of two fragments, 754 and 567 bp, was identified, and they were designated as 1/1 (750-bp band), 1/2 (754- and 567-bp bands), and 2/2 (567-bp band). The PCR method is considerably less time consuming than the conventional DNA genotyping using Southern blot analysis. To ensure that this new method identified the same PAI-1 genotypes as previously identified by Hind III restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), samples were simultaneously genotyped by PCR and Southern blot analysis. Both methods identified the same Hind III genotypes in all the samples, confirming the reliability of this new PCR method for the rapid identification of the Hind III polymorphism in the human PAI-1 gene.

Assignment of the gene coding for both the beta-subunit of prolyl 4-hydroxylase and the enzyme disulfide isomerase to human chromosome region 17p11----qter

The chromosomal location of the human gene coding for both the beta-subunit of prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4HB) and the enzyme disulfide isomerase (PDI) was determined using mouse x human somatic cell hybrids and three different methods for identifying either the human P4HB/PDI protein or the respective gene: (1) immunoblotting with species-specific monoclonal antibodies; (2) radioimmunoassay with species-specific polyclonal antibodies; and (3) Southern blotting after cleavage of the DNA with EcoRI, HindIII, or BamHI, followed by hybridization with a mixture of two cDNA probes for human P4HB. All three methods gave identical data, demonstrating complete cosegregation of the human protein or its gene in all 17 cell hybrids tested with human chromosome 17. A cell hybrid lacking an intact chromosome 17 localized the gene to 17p11----qter.

A comparison of passage efficiency for native and exotic fish species over an artificial baffled ramp

This study used an experimental approach to compare the passage success of native and exotic fish species from the temperate Southern Hemisphere over an artificial baffled fish ramp designed for overcoming low-head (≤1.0 m) fish migration barriers. Passage efficiency was, on average, lower for the exotic species [koi carp (Cyprinus carpio), rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)] compared to the native species [inanga (Galaxias maculatus), redfin bully (Gobiomorphus huttoni) and common bully (Gobiomorphus cotidianus)]. Nonetheless, there was considerable variation between individual species, with rainbow trout outperforming common bully and juvenile inanga, but koi carp and rudd failing to pass any of the ramps. The differences in predicted probability of passage success between the native and exotic fish species in this study were sufficient in some cases to indicate the potential for the baffled fish ramps to operate as a selective migration barrier. Nonetheless, further testing is required to validate these results across a broader range of conditions before deployment.     

Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification for identification of correctly targeted murine embryonic stem cell clones

Following locus-specific genome editing of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), the identification of correctly targeted clones remains a challenge. We applied multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to screen for homologous recombination-based genomic integration of a knockout construct in which part of a gene is deleted. All candidate ESCs thereby identified were subsequently validated by conventional methods. Thus, MLPA represents a highly reliable as well as cost- and time-efficient alternative to currently applied methods such as Southern blotting and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approaches. It is also applicable to knockin recombination strategies and compatible with the CRISPR/Cas9 system and other genome editing strategies.
