Replication of M13 single—stranded DNA bearing a sitespecific ethenocytosine lesion by Escherichia coil cell extracts

Previous investigation on the mutagenic effects of 3,N^4-Ethenocytosine (εC),a nonpairing DNA lesion,revealed the existence of a novel SOS-independent inducible mutagenic mechanism in E.coli termed UVM for UV modulation of mutagenesis.To investigate whether UVM is mediated by an alteration of DNA replication,we have set up an in vitro replication system in which phage M13 viral single-stranded DNA bearing a single site-specific (εC) residue is replicated by soluble protein extracts from E.coli cells.Replication products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and the frequency of translesion synthesis was determined by restriction endonuclease analyses.Our data indicate that DNA replication is strongly inhibited by εC,but that translesion DNA synthesis does occur in about 14% of the replicated DNA molecules.These results are very similar to those observed previously in vivo,and suggest that this experimental system may be suitable for evaluating alterations in DNA replication in UVM-induced cells.

The haplotype frequencies at 6 Y-STR loci were determined in a total of 204 unrelated males from southern Han population of China. Ninety-three father/son pairs with demonstrated paternity and thirty-eight non-paternity father/son pairs were detected by using our Y-STR system. As a result, the number of alleles for DYS393、DYS19、DYS389Ⅱ、DYS390、DYS391and DYS385 were 5, 6, 8, 6, 4 and 44 , respectively. A total of 176 haplotypes at 6 Y-STR loci were found. Two father/son pairs with single Y-STR mutation were observed in the 93 father/son pairs with demonstrated paternity. Among the 38 non-paternity father/son pairs, one case with one Y-STR exclusion of paternity, one case with two Y-STR exclusions and 35 cases with 3 or more Y-STR exclusions were observed. Non-exclusion of paternity at 6 Y-STR loci was found only in one case. This result indicated that the six Y-STR loci were highly polymorphic and are suitable for personal identification and paternity testing.     

An insect cell line discrimination method by RAPD-PCR

Summary RAPD-PCR with a tenmar single primer for discrimination of insect cell lines was devised. The base sequence of the primers used were TTCGAGCCAG, CCGCATCTAC, GAACGGACTC, and TGAGTGGGTG (GC contents were 60%). Genome DNA was extracted by modified Landry et al. (1993) method. The reaction mixture consisted of 10 μl buffer, 8 μl dNTP mixture (2.5 mM each), 4 μl primer (50 μM), Taq DNA polymerase (2.5 units), 1 μl template DNA; and the reaction was run at 94° C for 2 min (denaturation), followed by 31 cycles of 94° C for 1 min, 42° C for 1 min (annealing), and 72° C for 2 min (extension) and terminated with 72° C for 7 min. By developing the reaction products with agarose gel electrophoresis, it became evident that DNA fragments were amplified with all the primers used. Among four primers, the second primer was selected as a suitable primer for distinguishing cell lines. With this method, cell lines derived from different species were clearly distinguished.     

Genotypes of Heading Date of Middle Indica Rice in the Mid-lower Region of the Yangtze River

Middle indica cultivars are planted in the middle to lower regions of the Yangtze River. Hybrid combinations with these cultivars have a high yield potential but the presence of late-transgressive-segregants limits the further exploitation of heterosis. To understand the genetic basis of the heading date in these middle maturing cultivars, we carried out a genetic analysis of 10 typical middle-season cultivars using a number of heading date isogenic lines under both long and short day conditions. The results showed that Teqing, 752, CDR22, Bo B, 9311 and 11-32B carry two photoperiod sensitive genes E1 or Se.1 and E3, and Teqing, 752 and CDR22 carry a dominant early-heading gene Ef-1 while Bo B, 9311 and 11-32B carry a recessive late-heading gene ef-1. Based on the findings of the present and previous works on Guichao 2, Minghui 63, Nanjing 11 and Pei＇ai64S, it was concluded that all of these middle indica cultivars carried the recessive allele hd2, which could inhibit the expression of El or Se.1, and they formed rational combinations of genotype for heading date during a long period of evolution. The effects of the different combinations of genotype for heading date on rice cultivation and extension were discussed, and genetic basis of broad adaptability of hybrid middle indica cultivars was analyzed.     

In situ amplification of DNA fragments specific for human Y chromosome in cellular nuclei by PCR

Using single primer pairs Y3 and Y4, in siru polymerase chain reaction (in situ PCR) was successfully performed on the specimen slides of peripheral leukocytes. By both of the direct digpxiginin-11-dUTP incorporation into PCR products with in situ PCR (direct in situ PCR) and in situ PCR followed by detection of in situ hybridization (indirect in siru PCR), DNA fragments specific for human Y chromosome were obviously amplified in cellular nuclei of specimens on the slides. The results were verified by Southern analysis. The methodology of in situ PCR and its application were discussed.     

Candidate genes of hypertension with defective environmental expression

Previous studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that the thermosensitivity locus cosegregates with blood pressure and that the elevated expression and restriction fragment length polymorphism of HSP70 gene are associated with hypertension.Cell protection against environmental stressors such as heat and chemicals is often accompanied by up-regulated expression of a wide spectrum of heat shock genes(HSP).To further investigate the interrelation between HSP expression and blood pressure regulation,we employed an effective method of cloning 2 potential hypertension-related HSPs.Synthetic oligonucleotides corresponding either to a highly-conserved region of the known HSP family or a repetitive sequence in the proteinencoding gene were used as target primers for polymerase chain reaction(PCR).cDNA prepared from heat-stressed and non-stressed vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC)of Brown Norway rats(BN.1x)and spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHRp) respectively served as template in the reaction.The PCR products were subsequently analyzed in a single-stranded conformational polymorphism(SSCP) electrophoresing system.Differential gene expression in BN.1x and SHRp was seen on autoradiographs of SSCP gel by comparing the migration patterns of PCR-amplified DNA fragments.Using this technique,we also found that HSP27 and a new member of the large HSP gene family were differentially expressed in BN.1x and SHRp VSMC.     

有和无甘油的聚丙烯酰胺胶在检测突变时的差别

有文献报道在非变性的聚丙烯酰胺中加入甘油可提高SSCP检测的灵敏度。我们的实验结果建议研究者在进行SSCP筛查未知突变时最好采用不加甘油的非变性的聚丙烯酰胺胶,这既省力省钱,又灵敏。在判读SSCP胶时,千万不要看到在双链带位置有一条比正常迁移率慢的带就判定为插入突变。此时要判定突变的性质,最好测序。 Abstract：It was reported that glycerol in the non-denatured SSCP polyacrylamide gel could increase the sensibility of detecting mutation. We detected the mutation of PKD 1 gene in the patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.PCR com bined with SSCP(single-strained conformation polymorphism),the non-denatured 10% polyacrylamide gel without glycerol or 10% polyacrylamide gel with 5% glycerol and DNA sequencing method were used.Our results showed that four single strand b ands were found in the non-denatured polyacrylamide gel without glycerol while t wo single strand bands were found in the polyacrylamide gel with glycerol in the same patient.Sequence showed there is a deletion of G in one DNA molecular and a G→A substitution in another DNA molecular in the patient with abnormal shift SSCP bands.Therefore, our experiment suggested that non-denat ured polyacrylamide gel was better than the polyacrylamide gel with glycerol in detection mutation,and it will save labor and money.It also suggeste d that one basedeletion can cause a slow double-strand DNA following the normal double strand band,which was caused by the heterogeneous DNA molecule formed bet ween the normal DNA strand and the one base deletion DNA strand with the protrud ing base.Our results suggest that when judging mutation in SSCP gel,it is not re liable to decide that mutation is inversion according to slow mobility in the ge l,and when the characteristic of mutation need to be judged,it must be sequenced .     

Investigation of the mechanism of temperature sensitivity of the electroreceptors of ampullae of lorenzini

In experiments on Black Sea skates (Raja clavata), the potential of the receptor epithelium of the ampullae of Lorenzini and spike activity of single nerve fibers connected to them were investigated during electrical and temperature stimulation. Usually the potential within the canal was between 0 and –2 mV, and the input resistance of the ampulla 250–400 k. Heating of the region of the receptor epithelium was accompanied by a negative wave of potential, an increase in input resistance, and inhibition of spike activity. With worsening of the animal's condition the transepithelial potential became positive (up to +10 mV) but the input resistance of the ampulla during stimulation with a positive current was nonlinear in some cases: a regenerative spike of positive polarity appeared in the channel. During heating, the spike response was sometimes reversed in sign. It is suggested that fluctuations of the transepithelial potential and spike responses to temperature stimulation reflect changes in the potential difference on the basal membrane of the receptor cells, which is described by a relationship of the Nernst's or Goldman's equation type.I.
