PCR引物特异性核查系统(PSC)的构建与应用

聚合酶链式反应(PCR)虽已广泛用于分子生物学研究中,然而PCR实验中的非特异性产物问题将直接影响PCR的效率,在多重PCR实验中更是如此。为了最大限度地降低非特异性产物的出现率,同时避免用户频繁使用Blast比对检查非特异性,我们开发了基于NCBI-Blast的引物评估和模板DNA特异性结合能力评估的核查系统PSC(Primer Specificity Checking,http://biocompute.bmi.ac.cn/PSC),并基于虚拟PCR实验确定了用于引物质量核查计算的多种参数,能够在线提供多个物种的引物特异性核查结果。该系统可以有效地对引物序列可能产生的所有非特异性扩增进行预测,有助于实验前引物优化或者对非特异扩增结果进行解释,最终达到提高PCR效率的目的。

Detection of genetic variability in various isolates of cattle tick, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Boophilus microplus</Emphasis> from Tamil Nadu,India using PCR-RAPD analysis

The genomic DNA from ten isolates of the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus collected in and around Chennai, India, was analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using PCR. Selected five random primers were used for the study of genetic variability among different isolates of B. microplus. A high degree of genetic polymorphism with a different pattern of RAPD profiles for each tick isolate was detected with all these random primers. This variability was also confirmed by similarity coefficient values and dendrogram which were performed using mean RAPD profiles for all the primers between various isolates of ticks. The findings suggest the existence of a complex genotypic diversity of the tick B. microplus in an endemic region such as Chennai.     

Precise detection and tracing of Trichoderma hamatum 382 in compost-amended potting mixes by using molecular markers

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and the PCR assay were used in combination with dilution plating on a semiselective medium to detect and enumerate propagules of Trichoderma hamatum 382, a biocontrol agent utilized in compost-amended mixes. Distinct and reproducible fingerprints were obtained upon amplification of purified genomic DNA of T. hamatum 382 with the random primers OPE-16, OPH-19, and OPH-20. Three amplified DNA fragments of 0.35 (OPE-16(0.35)), 0.6 (OPH-19(0.6)), and 0.65 (OPH-20(0.65)) kb were diagnostic for T. hamatum 382, clearly distinguishing it from 53 isolates of four other Trichoderma spp. tested. Some isolates of T. hamatum shared these low-molecular-weight fragments with T. hamatum 382. However, RAPD analysis of isolates of T. hamatum with all three random primers used in consecutive PCR tests distinguished T. hamatum 382 from other isolates of T. hamatum. These three RAPD amplicons were cloned and sequenced, and pairs of oligonucleotide primers for each cloned fragment were designed. Use of the primers in the PCR assay resulted in the amplification of DNA fragments of the same size as the cloned RAPD fragments from genomic DNA of T. hamatum 382. A combination of dilution plating on a semiselective medium for Trichoderma spp. and PCR, with the RAPD primers OPH-19, OPE-16, and OPH-20 or the three sequence-characterized primers, was used successfully to verify the presence of T. hamatum 382 propagules in nine different soil, compost, and potting mix samples. All 23 Trichoderma isolates recovered on semiselective medium from commercial potting mixes fortified with T. hamatum 382 were identified as T. hamatum 382, whereas 274 Trichoderma isolates recovered from the other nine samples were negative in the PCR assay. Thus, this highly specific combination of techniques allowed detection and enumeration of propagules of T. hamatum 382 in fortified compost-amended potting mixes. Sequence-characterized amplified region markers also facilitated the development of a very simple procedure to amplify DNA of T. hamatum 382 directly from fortified compost-amended potting mixes.     

Development of DNA markers for identifying chrysanthemum cultivars generated by ion-beam irradiation

Four chrysanthemum cultivars were generated through (carbon) ion-beam irradiation of the original ‘Jimba’ (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.). The new cultivars had acquired a number of superior cultivation traits, while remaining identical to the commercially available ‘Jimba’ in appearance. In this study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were used to detect the mutated region of each strain, thereby allowing clear identification at the molecular level. PCR assays were performed with 446 primer sets, including random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primer sets (10-mer RAPD), arbitrarily primed (AP)-PCR primers based on retrotransposon-like sequences and modified RAPD primers (15-mer RAPD). 15-mer RAPD primers generated a 1.49-fold increased band number at high annealing temperatures compared with the original 10-mer RAPD primers and could thus be effective for detection of polymorphic patterns. Our results provide information on the mutated regions of these ion-beam-irradiated chrysanthemum cultivars. Thus, specific DNA markers could be used to improve identification of new cultivars of chrysanthemum as well as other clonal cultivars of horticultural and agricultural crops.     

Development of specific PCR primers for the detection of Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 LP from the leaf sheaths exhibiting large-patch symptom on zoysia grass

Detection of Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 LP isolates causing large-patch disease on zoysia grass was done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Specific primers were designed based on an amplified region using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR. Fifteen primers and three cultural types of R. solani AG 2-2 (types IIIB, IV and LP) were used for RAPD-PCR. The banding patterns by RAPD-PCR showed that the three cultural types were clearly distinguishable. A dendrogram constructed from the results of RAPD-PCR showed that the three cultural types of AG 2-2 clustered separately. The sequence of one PCR-amplified region which appeared only in LP isolates using primer A09 was selected for designing specific primers. Primer pair A091-F/R gave a single product from pure fungal DNA of LP isolates but not from those of the other two types (IIIB and IV), R. solani AG 1, 2-1, 2-3, 2-tulip, 3-10 and BI isolates and other turfgrass fungal pathogens. Primer pair A091-F/R also gave a single product from diseased leaf sheaths and this product was in accordance with those of pure fungal DNA of LP isolates. Primer pair A091-F/R did not yield PCR product from healthy leaf sheaths. The frequencies of detection of LP isolates from leaf sheaths of zoysia grass using PCR with primer pair A091-F/R were higher than those of the conventional isolation technique. These results showed that the PCR-based technique using specific primers A091-F/R is useful for the rapid detection of LP isolates from leaf sheaths of zoysia grass exhibiting large-patch symptoms.     

Search for retroviral related DNA polymorphisms using RAPD PCR in schizophrenia

Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is widely used to detect polymorphisms in many organisms. Individual (or strain) specific amplified bands are generated with single or pairs of primers in PCR reactions and can serve as genetic markers. We have used this method to generate a large number of reproducible bands with single primers, random and retroviral related, on 92 human DNA samples. Theoretically, RAPD PCR presents a logical approach for assessing variability among individuals. We used ten retroviral related primers (12, 20 and 22 bp) and eight random primers (10 bp) to assess individual differences in the context of testing the retroviral hypothesis for schizophrenia. Three pairs of discordant monozygotic twins, four pairs of discordant full sibs and 53 schizophrenic individuals with 25 of their unrelated matched controls were analyzed. Ten of these primers resulted in a total of approx. 850 amplified bands (65-110 bands per primer). Almost all of these bands were identical among each individual analyzed. However, the results are inconclusive with respect to the retroviral hypothesis for schizophrenia. The general lack of RAPD polymorphism in this study may argue for mechanisms other than rearrangements such as inversions, associated with the evolution of the human genome.     

Genomic changes at early stages of formation of allopolyploid Aegilops longissima x Triticum urartu

Using the model of synthetic allopolyploid Aegilops longissima TL05 x Triticum urartu TMU06 of the first generation, the degree and character of changes in subtelomeric, microsatellite and random amplified DNA sequences (RAPD) on early stage of polyploidization was estimated. Study of genome changes was performed by comparing of PCR spectra obtained while amplifying genome DNA of allopolyploid and its parental forms. For analysis of subtelomeric DNA, we used 66 pairs of primers composed of 11 singular primers designed for subtelomere DNA sequences of cereals. RAPD analysis was performed with usage of 38 primers, in microsatellite (SSR) analysis 23 primer pairs were used. RAPD analysis appeared to be a more effective PCR-based method to identify genome changes. Absence of some PCR fragments typical for parental genome in RAPD specters of allopolyploid TL05 x TMU06 was shown using 13 primers of 38 (34%), and with usage of subtelomere primers such changes in PSR specters were shown only for one of 66 pays of primers (1.5%). SSR loci were stable during the polyploidization process. Subsequent analysis of PCR fragments absent in specter of synthetic allopolyploid showed that high level of genome changes in RAPD analysis is probably connected with more effective ability of this method to reveal point mutations. Some data was found suggesting that not all genome changes observed in experimentally synthesized allopolyploids of the first generation are consequences of coadaptation of few genomes in one nucleus.     

一种新的分子标记方法－随机微卫星扩增多态DNA (RMAPD)

随机微卫星扩增多态DNA（RMAPD）是利用随机引物和微卫星的上游或下游引物一起作为该扩增的引物,在Taq DNA聚合酶、MgCl2、dNTPs和模板DNA等共同作用下进行PCR扩增的一种新型分子标记方法。其核心是RMAPD引物的有效性问题。通过对西农萨能奶山羊群体RMAPD电泳检测、数据统计分析及验证实验等证明RMAPD的引物是有效的。通过与微卫星和RAPD标记比较,发现RMAPD标记在扩增引物、扩增程序和重复性等方面区别于微卫星和RAPD标记;它是RAPD标记的一种广义的延伸,但又不完全等同于RAPD标记。因此,确定RMAPD是一种新的分子标记方法。该方法也具有DNA标记的特点,在群体遗传结构和亲缘关系分析以及标记辅助选择等遗传育种领域具有广阔的应用前景。     

Molecular characterisation of Sargassum polycystum and S. siliquosum (Phaeophyta) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers

Genomic DNA was extracted from 13 samples of Sargassum polycystum and S. siliquosum collected from various localities around Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore by using four different extraction methods. The yields and the suitability of the DNA to be used as template for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was compared. DNA samples were subjected to PCR analysis by using random primers. Only DNA samples that were extracted using the CTAB method were successfully amplified by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR. Five of 31 random primers (OPA02, OPA03, OPA04, OPA13 and OPM10) tested amplified sequences of DNA from the DNA samples. Reproducible, amplified products were obtained using these primers and showed some potential to be useful in discriminating individual samples within the genus, in determining relationships between species within a genus and in developing individual fingerprints for individual samples.     

Development of reliable PCR-based markers linked to downy mildew resistance genes in lettuce

Summary Sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs) were derived from eight random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to disease resistance genes in lettuce. SCARs are PCR-based markers that represent single, genetically defined loci that are identified by PCR amplification of genomic DNA with pairs of specific oligonucleotide primers; they may contain high-copy, dispersed genomic sequences within the amplified region. Amplified RAPD products were cloned and sequenced. The sequence was used to design 24-mer oligonucleotide primers for each end. All pairs of SCAR primers resulted in the amplification of single major bands the same size as the RAPD fragment cloned. Polymorphism was either retained as the presence or absence of amplification of the band or appeared as length polymorphisms that converted dominant RAPD loci into codominant SCAR markers. This study provided information on the molecular basis of RAPD markers. The amplified fragment contained no obvious repeated sequences beyond the primer sequence. Five out of eight pairs of SCAR primers amplified an alternate allele from both parents of the mapping population; therefore, the original RAPD polymorphism was likely due to mismatch at the primer sites.
