Systematic identification of LINE-1 repetitive DNA sequence differences having species specificity between Mus spretus and Mus domesticus 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
LINE-1 is a family of repetitive DNA sequences interspersed among mammalian genes. In the mouse haploid genome there are about 100,000 LINE-1 copies. We asked if the subspecies Mus spretus and Mus domesticus have developed species-specific LINE-1 subfamilies. Sequences from 14 M. spretus LINE-1 elements were obtained and compared to M. domesticus LINE-1 sequences. Using a molecular phylogenetic tree we identified several differences shared among a subset of young repeats in one or the other species as candidates for species-specific LINE-1 variants. Species specificity was tested using oligonucleotide probes complementary to each putative species-specific variant. When hybridized to genomic DNAs, single-variant probes detected an expanded number of elements in the expected mouse. In the other species these probes detected a smaller number of matches consistent with the average rate of random divergence among LINE-1 elements. It was further found that the combination of two species-specific sequence differences in the same probe reduced the detection background in the wrong species below our detection limit. 相似文献

Mus Spretus Line-1 Sequences Detected in the Mus Musculus Inbred Strain C57bl/6j Using Line-1 DNA Probes 下载免费PDF全文
The inbred mouse strain, C57BL/6J, was derived from mice of the Mus musculus complex. C57BL/6J can be crossed in the laboratory with a closely related mouse species, M. spretus to produce fertile offspring; however there has been no previous evidence of gene flow between M. spretus and M. musculus in nature. Analysis of the repetitive sequence LINE-1, using both direct sequence analysis and genomic Southern blot hybridization to species-specific LINE-1 hybridization probes, demonstrates the presence of LINE-1 elements in C57BL/6J that were derived from the species M. spretus. These spretus-like LINE-1 elements in C57BL/6J reveal a cross to M. spretus somewhere in the history of C57BL/6J. It is unclear if the spretus-like LINE-1 elements are still embedded in flanking DNA derived from M. spretus or if they have transposed to new sites. The number of spretus-like elements detected suggests a maximum of 6.5% of the C57BL/6J genome may be derived from M. spretus. 相似文献

LINE-1 repetitive DNA probes for species-specific cloning from Mus spretus and Mus domesticus genomes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mus domesticus and Mus spretus mice are closely related subspecies. For genetic investigations involving hybrid mice, we have developed a set of species-specific oligonucleotide probes based on the detection of LINE-1 sequence differences. LINE-1 is a repetitive DNA family whose many members are interspersed among the genes. In this study, library screening experiments were used to fully characterize the species specificity of four M. domesticus LINE-1 probes and three M. spretus LINE-1 probes. It was found that the nucleotide differences detected by the probes define large, species-specific subfamilies. We show that collaborative use of such probes can be employed to selectively detect thousands of species-specific library clones. Consequently, these probes could be exploited to monitor and access almost any given species-specific region of interest within hybrid genomes. 相似文献

Mus Spretus Line-1s in the Mus Musculus Domesticus Inbred Strain C57bl/6j Are from Two Different Mus Spretus Line-1 Subfamilies 下载免费PDF全文
A LINE-1 element, L1C105, was found in the Mus musculus domesticus inbred strain, C57BL/6J. Upon sequencing, this element was found to belong to a M. spretus LINE-1 subfamily originating within the last 0.2 million years. This is the second spretus-specific LINE-1 subfamily found to be represented in C57BL/6J. Although it is unclear how these M. spretus LINE-1s transferred from M. spretus to M. m. domesticus, it is now clear that at least two different spretus LINE-1 sequences have recently transferred. The limited divergence between the C57BL/6J spretus-like LINE-1s and their closest spretus ancestors suggests that the transfer did not involve an exceptionally long lineage of sequential transpositions. 相似文献

Few simple, easy-to-score PCR markers are available for studying genetic variation in wild mice populations belonging to Mus musculus at the population and subspecific levels. In this study, we show the abundant B1 family of short interspersed DNA elements (SINEs) is a very promising source of such markers. Thirteen B1 sequences from different regions of the genome were retrieved on the basis of their high degree of homology to a mouse consensus sequence, and the presence of these elements was screened for in wild derived mice representing M. spretus, macedonicus and spicilegus and the different subspecies of M. musculus. At five of these loci, varying degrees of insertion polymorphism were found in M. m. domesticus mice. These insertions were almost totally absent in the mice representing the other subspecies and species. Six other B1 elements were fixed in all the Mus species tested. At these loci, polymorphism associated with three restriction sites in the B1 consensus sequence was found in M. musculus. Most of these polymorphisms appear to be ancestral as they are shared by at least one of the other Mus species tested. Both insertion and restriction polymorphism revealed differences between five inbred laboratory strains considered to be of mainly domesticus origin, and at the six restriction loci a surprising number of these strains carried restriction variants that were either not found or very infrequent in domesticus. This suggests that in this particular group of loci, alleles of far Eastern origin are more frequent than expected. 相似文献

LINE-1 (L1) lineages in the mouse 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Hardies SC Wang L Zhou L Zhao Y Casavant NC Huang S 《Molecular biology and evolution》2000,17(4):616-628
Recently, a rapidly amplifying family of mouse LINE-1 (L1) has been identified and named T(F). The evolutionary context surrounding the derivation of the T(F) family was examined through phylogenetic analysis of sequences in the 3' portion of the repeat. The Mus musculus domesticus T(F) family was found to be the terminal subfamily of the previously identified L1Md4 lineage. The L1Md4 lineage joins the other prototypical mouse LINE-1 lineage (the L1MdA2 lineage) approximately 1 MYA at about the time of the common ancestor of M. m. domesticus, Mus spicilegus, and Mus spretus. However, the T(F) family from M. m. domesticus was found to join to the previously reported M. spretus Ms475 and Ms7024 LINE-1 families at just 0.5 MYA, indicating horizontal transfer. The T(F) family from M. m. domesticus was then found to be even more recently related to LINE-1's from another species, M. spicilegus. A separate spretus A2 lineage was found through a directed search of a PCR library. This lineage, in contrast to the spretus T(F) lineage, does join domesticus at about 1 MYA, as would be expected in the absence of horizontal transfer. A third major family was also found that splits off from the L1Md4 lineage shortly after its departure from the L1MdA2 lineage. The new family, named the Z family, was found to contain the de novo LINE-1 inserts causing the beige and med mutations. Whether the split with the Z family was before or after the recombination that introduced the F-type promoters and defined the inception of T(F) as a lineage is unclear. In enumerating copies of the various LINE-1 families, we found that T(F) 3' ends were not much more numerous than the reported number of 5' ends, suggesting that T(F) may not be subjected to the 90% truncation pattern typical of LINE-1 as a whole. 相似文献

Using four repetitive sequences, we compared DNAs isolated from Mus caroli, M. cookii, M. hortulanus, M. musculus, M. pahari, M. saxicola, and M. spretus. Except for B1, these probes showed species-specific hybridization patterns. Mouse interspersed fragment (MIF) sequences were present in all species examined, but those defined by the 1.3-kb EcoR1 band were fewer in M. pahari and M. saxicola than in the other species. The Y-chromosomal probe showed male-specific accumulation only in M. hortulanus, M. musculus, and M. spretus, which are known to be closely related. The genetic difference between M. spretus and the other two species (M. hortulanus and M. musculus) was clearly demonstrated by a M. musuclus centromeric sequence that hybridized strongly to M. hortulanus and M. musculus DNA but was underrepresented in the genome of M. spretus. These results may suggest the usefulness of these repetitive sequences in the classification of Mus species that display only subtle morphological differences. 相似文献

Tempo and mode of concerted evolution in the L1 repeat family of mice 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Martin SL; Voliva CF; Hardies SC; Edgell MH; Hutchison CA d 《Molecular biology and evolution》1985,2(2):127-140
A 300-bp DNA sequence has been determined for 30 (10 from each of three
species of mice) random isolates of a subset of the long interspersed
repeat family L1. From these data we conclude that members of the L1 family
are evolving in concert at the DNA sequence level in Mus domesticus, Mus
caroli, and Mus platythrix. The mechanism responsible for this phenomenon
may be either duplicative transposition, gene conversion, or a combination
of the two. The amount of intraspecies divergence averages 4.4%, although
between species base substitutions accumulate at the rate of approximately
0.85%/Myr to a maximum divergence of 9.1% between M. platythrix and both M.
domesticus and M. caroli. Parsimony analysis reveals that the M. platythrix
L1 family has evolved into a distinct clade in the 10-12 Myr since M.
platythrix last shared a common ancestor with M. domesticus and M. caroli.
The parsimony tree also provides a means to derive the average half-life of
L1 sequences in the genome. The rates of gain and loss of individual copies
of L1 were estimated to be approximately equal, such that approximately
one-half of them turn over every 3.3 Myr.

Subfamily-specific LINE-1 PCR (SSL1-PCR) is the targeted amplification and cloning of defined subfamilies of LINE-1 elements and their flanking sequences. The targeting is accomplished by incorporating a subfamily-specific sequence difference at the 3 end of a LINE-1 PCR primer and pairing it with a primer to an anchor ligated within the flanking region. SSL1-PCR was demonstrated by targeting amplification of a Mus spretus-specific LINE-1 subfamily. The amplified fragments were cloned to make an SSL1-PCR library, which was found to be 100-fold enriched for the targeted elements. PCR primers were synthesized based on the sequence flanking the LINE-1 element of four different clones. Three of the clones were recovered from Mus spretus DNA. A fourth clone was recovered from a congenic mouse containing both Mus spretus and Mus domesticus DNA. Amplification between these flanking primers and LINE-1 PCR primers produced a product in Mus spretus and not in Mus domesticus. These dimorphisms were further verified to be due to insertion of Mus spretus-specific LINE-1 elements into Mus spretus DNA and not into Mus domesticus DNA. 相似文献

Genetics of intracisternal-A-particle-related envelope-encoding proviral elements in mice. 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0 下载免费PDF全文
Intracisternal-A-particle-related envelope-encoding (IAPE) proviral elements in the mouse genome encode and express an envelope-like protein that may allow transmission of IAPEs as infectious agents. To test IAPE mobility and potential transmission in mice, we have analyzed the distribution of IAPE elements in the genomes of Mus spretus and Mus musculus inbred strains and wild-caught animals. Potential full-length (IAPE-A) proviral elements are present as repetitive copies in DNA from male but not female animals of M. musculus inbred strains and Mus musculus castaneus. Analysis of IAPE-cellular junction fragments indicates that fixation of most IAPEs in the germ line occurred in M. musculus and M. spretus after speciation but before M. musculus inbred strains were derived. 相似文献

A 522-base-long Y-chromosomal sequence was isolated from a BALB/c genomic
library and was designated "BF046." It is repeated about 200 times in the
male genome, and a difference was detected between the Mus musculus
musculus and the M. m. domesticus type Y chromosomes. BF046- related
sequences were present over the entire length of the Y chromosome as
visualized by in situ hybridization. Southern blot analysis against DNAs
isolated from eight species in the genus Mus showed that BF046-related
sequences were amplified in the Y chromosomes of three closely related
species: M. musculus, M. spicilegus, and M. spretus. To gain insight into
the stability of the BF046 sequence family, we isolated 18 additional
clones from these three mouse species and compared their sequences. The M.
musculus sequences differed from the M. spicilegus and M. spretus sequences
by two indels. The remaining parts of the sequences were very similar, but
both parsimony and distance-based analytical methods divided the sequences
into the same four subgroups, with each species having its own subgroup(s).
Thus, the Y chromosomes of M. musculus, M. spicilegus, and M. spretus can
be distinguished from one another.

Mus musculus and Mus spretus homologues of the human telomere-associated protein TIN2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Telomere length is regulated by TRF1, which binds telomeric DNA, and TIN2, which binds TRF1. Laboratory mice (Mus musculus) have long telomeres, although a related mouse species, Mus spretus, has human-sized telomeres. Because differences in TIN2 might explain these differences in telomere length, we cloned cDNAs encoding murine TIN2s and compared their sequence to that of human TIN2. M. musculus (Mm) and M. spretus TIN2s were >95% identical, but shared only 67% identity with human TIN2. An N-terminal truncation, or N-terminal fragment, of MmTIN2 elongated M. spretus telomeres. These findings suggest that mouse TIN2, like human TIN2, negatively regulates telomere length, and that N-terminal perturbations have dominant-negative effects. Our findings suggest that differences in TIN2 cannot explain the telomere length differences among Homo sapiens, M. musculus, and M. spretus. Nonetheless, M. spretus cells appear be a good system for studying the function of mouse telomere-associated proteins. 相似文献

Towards construction of a high resolution map of the mouse genome using PCR-analysed microsatellites. 总被引:32,自引:4,他引:28 下载免费PDF全文
Fifty sequences from the mouse genome database containing simple sequence repeats or microsatellites have been analysed for size variation using the polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis. 88% of the sequences, most of which contain the dinucleotide repeat, CA/GT, showed size variations between different inbred strains of mice and the wild mouse, Mus spretus. 62% of sequences had 3 or more alleles. GA/CT and AT/TA-containing sequences were also variable. About half of these size variants were detectable by agarose gel electrophoresis. This simple approach is extremely useful in linkage and genome mapping studies and will facilitate construction of high resolution maps of both the mouse and human genomes. 相似文献

Phylogenetic distribution in the genus Mus of t-complex-specific DNA and protein markers: inferences on the origin of t-haplotypes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

We have examined the phylogenetic distribution of two t-specific markers
among representatives of various taxa belonging to the genus Mus. The
centromeric TCP-1a marker (a testicular protein variant specific for all
t-haplotypes so far studied) has also been apparently detected in several
non-t representatives of the Mus IVA, Mus IVB, and probably M. cervicolor
species. By contrast, a t-specific restriction- fragment-length
polymorphism allele (RFLP) of the telomeric alpha- globin pseudogene DNA
marker alpha-psi-4 was found only in animals belonging to the M.
musculus-complex species either bearing genuine t- haplotypes or, like the
M. m. bactrianus specimen studied here, likely to do so. This t-specific
alpha-psi-4 RFLP allele was found to be as divergent from the RFLP alleles
of the latter, non-t, taxonomical groups as it is from Mus 4A, Mus 4B, or
M. spretus ones. These results suggest the presence of t-haplotypes and of
t-specific markers in populations other than those belonging to the M. m.
domesticus and M. m. musculus subspecies, implying a possible origin for
t-haplotypes prior to the radiation of the most recent offshoot of the Mus
genus (i.e., the spretus/domesticus divergence), some 1-3 Myr ago.

The generation of a library of PCR-analyzed microsatellite variants for genetic mapping of the mouse genome 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
Forty-three sequences containing simple sequence repeats or microsatellites were generated from an M13 library of total genomic mouse DNA. These sequences were analyzed for size variation using the polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis without the need for radiolabeling. Seventy-two percent of the sequences showed allelic size variations between different inbred strains of mouse and the wild mouse, Mus spretus; and 53% showed variation between inbred strains. Thirty-seven percent were variant between B6/J and DBA/2J, and 81% of these were resolved using minigel agarose electrophoresis alone. This approach is a useful way of generating the large number of variants that are needed to create high resolution maps of the mouse genome. 相似文献

In the bovine genome we found two intrachromosomal DNA fragments flanked by inverted telomeric repeats (GenBank Accession Nos. AF136741 and AF136742). The internal parts of the fragments are homologous exclusively to the human sequences and to the consensus sequence of the L1MC4 subfamily of LINE-1 retrotransposons which are widespread among mammalian genomes. We found that distribution of homologous human sequences within our fragments is not random, reflecting a complicated pattern of insertion mechanisms of and maintenance of retrotransposons in mammalian genomes. One of the possible explanations of the origin of LINE-1 truncated elements flanked by inverted telomeric repeats in the bovine genome is that extrachromosomal DNA fragments may be modified by telomerase and subsequently, transferred into chromosomal DNA. 相似文献

Construction of a small Mus musculus repetitive DNA library: identification of a new satellite sequence in Mus musculus. 总被引:10,自引:4,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文

We report the construction of a small library of recombinant plasmids containing Mus musculus repetitive DNA inserts. The repetitive cloned fraction was derived from denatured genomic DNA by reassociation to a Cot value at which repetitive, but not unique, sequences have reannealed followed by exhaustive S1 nuclease treatment to degrade single stranded DNA. Initial characterizations of this library by colony filter hybridizations have led to the identification of a previously undetected M. musculus minor satellite as well as to clones containing M. musculus major satellite sequences. This new satellite is repeated 10-20 times less than the major satellite in the M. musculus genome. It has a repeat length of 130 nucleotides compared with the M. musculus major satellite with a repeat length of 234 nucleotides. Sequence analysis of the minor satellite has shown that it has a 29 base pair region with extensive homology to one of the major satellite repeating subunits. We also show by in situ hybridization that this minor satellite sequence is located at the centromeres and possibly the arms of at least half the M musculus chromosomes. Sequences related to the minor satellite have been found in the DNA of a related Mus species, Mus spretus, and may represent the major satellite of that species. 相似文献

We have detected three unique apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) charge isoforms in strains of commensal mice. The cDNA sequences for one representative of each isoform (Mus domestesticus strains C57BL/6J and 129/J and Mus castaneus) revealed a polymorphism within a series of four imperfect repeats encoding the sequence Glu-Gln-Ala/Val-Gln. Insertions or deletions of 12 nucleotides within this repetitive region have given rise to three genotypes characterized by three (129), four (C57BL/6), or five (M. castaneus) copies of the repeat unit. To ascertain the extent of this variation among other species of the Mus genus, we sequenced this region of apoA-IV cDNAs from eight additional M. domesticus inbred strains and from five wild-derived Mus species. All eight additional M. domesticus strains examined had four repeat units, as found in C57BL/6. Among wild-derived mice, however, one species (Mus spretus) had three repeats, two species (Mus cookii and Mus cervicolor) had four repeats, and two species (Mus hortulanus and Mus minutoides) had five repeats. A lack of correlation between the number of repeat units and the phylogeny of Mus species indicates that independent mutations may have occurred throughout the evolution of specific mouse lineages. We suggest that the repetitive nature of the polymorphic sequence may predispose this region to slippage errors during DNA replication, resulting in frequent deletion/insertion mutations. 相似文献
