草菇exo-β-1,3-葡聚糖酶基因可变剪接体的克隆与表达分析

可变剪接是基因表达调控的一种重要方式。本研究利用RT-PCR克隆鉴定到草菇exo-β-1,3-葡聚糖酶基因(exg2)的4种可变剪接体(exg2V1,exg2V2,exg2V3和exg2V4),其中,exg2V1第7个内含子保留;exg2V2第11个内含子保留同时剪切掉第12个外显子的后58bp;exg2V3同时保留第7个和第17个内含子;exg2V4同时保留第2、第9和第17个内含子。4种剪接体均在可变剪接位点提前出现终止密码子,导致预测编码的氨基酸序列中包含不完整的结构域。定量PCR结果显示:草菇5个发育时期中,4种可变剪接体表达量均比标准剪接体exg2低,但4种可变剪接体的表达也表现出一定的时期和组织差异性。初步推断发现的草菇exg2基因4种可变剪接体均为无义介导的mRNA降解,通过此方式达到对exg2基因标准剪接转录本的精准调控。

中国地方鸡种MHC B-LBⅡ新等位基因的遗传多态性研究

为研究鸡MHC B-LBⅡ基因的遗传多态性,首先在8个中国地方鸡种(藏鸡、仙居鸡、北京油鸡、固始鸡、斗鸡、丝羽乌骨鸡、白耳鸡和狼山鸡)B-LBⅡ基因第二外显子扩增了一长度为 175 bp 的 DNA 片段并进行 SSCP 基因型分析;在8 个地方鸡种共 467 个个体中检测到 37 个 PCR-SSCP 基因型;从被检样品中筛选出不同基因型的个体,并在其 B-LBⅡ基因组中扩增了一个包括其第二外显子和第二内含子在内长度为374 bp的片段,通过克隆和测序获得了该片段的核苷酸序列。经序列分析,在前述地方鸡种被筛选出的 30 个无血缘关系的个体中发现了 31 个 B-LBⅡ新等位基因,并参照哺乳动物 MHC II 类 B 等位基因命名规则进行了命名。对这 31 个 B-LBⅡ新等位基因长度为 374 bp 的 DNA 片段进行比对表明,在其第二外显子序列上共有 68 个多态性变异位点,其中简约性信息位点 51 个,单变异位点 17 个,具有丰富的遗传多态性。在这些多态性变异位点中,出现在遗传密码子第一和第二位上的碱基替换率分别为 36.76% 和 35.29%。等位基因序列间的相似性估测为 90.6%-99.5%;B-LBⅡ基因第二外显子的错义替换率和同义替换率分别为 14.64±2.67%和 2.92±0.94%。结果表明,B-LBⅡ基因的丰富遗传多态性主要是由基因重组和平衡选择效应所引起的。对 B-LBⅡ等位基因第二外显子所编码的 B-LBⅡ分子β1 结构域氨基酸序列比对发现,31 个 B-LBⅡ新等位基因属于 26 个等位基因主型;在β1结构域氨基酸序列的 33个变异位点上,存在 6 个同义替换和 27 个错义替换。分析认为,那些发生在多肽结合位点上的氨基酸错义替换与鸡 MHC B-LBⅡ分子的免疫特异性有关。该结果可为鸡的抗病育种研究提供分子生物学依据。

Re-sequencing of DNA from a diverse panel of cattle reveals a high level of polymorphism in both intron and exon

In order to assess the extent of DNA sequence variation in cattle, introns and exons from both the leptin and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) genes have been sequenced in a panel of DNAs derived from 22 diverse animals. Direct DNA sequencing of PCR products was used; thus, 44 chromosomes were studied. Polymorphisms were identified by manual scanning of sequence chromatograms and computerized sequence analysis. Twenty Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected in 1788 bp sequenced from the leptin gene, giving a frequency of 1 SNP per 89 bp. Twenty-four SNPs were detected in a 458-bp fragment of the APP gene; 23 of the polymorphisms were contained in a 302-bp intron 16 fragment. This equates to an SNP frequency of 1 per 13 bp for the intron. We can thus conclude that this portion of the bovine APP gene constitutes a hypermutable region. Nucleotide sequence diversity values of 0.019 and 0.0026 were obtained for APP and leptin respectively. Received: 22 April 1999 / Accepted: 25 July 1999     

Discovery of SNPs in soybean genotypes frequently used as the parents of mapping populations in the United States and Korea

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including insertion/deletions (indels) serve as useful and informative genetic markers. The availability of high-throughput and inexpensive SNP typing systems has increased interest in the development of SNP markers. After fragments of genes were amplified with primers derived from 110 soybean GenBank ESTs, sequencing data of PCR products from 15 soybean genotypes from Korea and the United States were analyzed by SeqScape software to find SNPs. Among 35 gene fragments with at least one SNP among the 15 genotypes, SNPs occurred at a frequency of 1 per 2,038 bp in 16,302 bp of coding sequence and 1 per 191 bp in 16,960 bp of noncoding regions. This corresponds to a nucleotide diversity (theta) of 0.00017 and 0.00186, respectively. Of the 97 SNPs discovered, 78 or 80.4% were present in the six North American soybean mapping parents. The addition of "Hwaeomputkong," which originated from Japan, increased the number to 92, or 94.8% of the total number of SNPs present among the 15 genotypes. Thus, Hwaeomputkong and the six North American mapping parents provide a diverse set of soybean genotypes that can be successfully used for SNP discovery in coding DNA and closely associated introns and untranslated regions.     

SNP haplotypes of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">BADH1</Emphasis> gene and their association with aroma in rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis> L.)

Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) is a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of glycinebetaine—a powerful osmoprotectant against salt and drought stress in a large number of species. Rice is not known to accumulate glycinebetaine but it has two functional genes coding for the BADH enzyme. A non-functional allele of the BADH2 gene located on chromosome 8 is a major factor associated with rice aroma. However, similar information is not available regarding the BADH1 gene located on chromosome 4 despite the similar biochemical function of the two genes. Here we report on the discovery and validation of SNPs in the BADH1 gene by re-sequencing of diverse rice varieties differing in aroma and salt tolerance. There were 17 SNPs in introns with an average density of one per 171 bp, but only three SNPs in exons at a density of one per 505 bp. Each of the three exonic SNPs led to changes in amino acids with functional significance. Multiplex SNP assays were used for genotyping of 127 diverse rice varieties and landraces. In total 15 SNP haplotypes were identified but only four of these, corresponding to two protein haplotypes, were common, representing more than 85% of the cultivars. Determination of population structure using 54 random SNPs classified the varieties into two groups broadly corresponding to indica and japonica cultivar groups, aromatic varieties clustering with the japonica group. There was no association between salt tolerance and the common BADH1 haplotypes, but aromatic varieties showed specific association with a BADH1 protein haplotype (PH2) having lysine₁₄₄ to asparagine₁₄₄ and lysine₃₄₅ to glutamine₃₄₅ substitutions. Protein modeling and ligand docking studies show that these two substitutions lead to reduction in the substrate binding capacity of the BADH1 enzyme towards gamma-aminobutyraldehyde (GABald), which is a precursor of the major aroma compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP). This association requires further validation in segregating populations for potential utilization in the rice breeding programs.     

A first insight into peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] SNP variability

Three factors may have reduced the diversity at both individual gene and whole genome levels in cultivated peach: its self-compatible mating system, the narrow genetic basis of most commercial cultivars, and the recent strong selection towards agronomically interesting traits. Previous diversity analyses with markers such as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have revealed low levels of genetic variability. Here, we sequenced 23 genome-wide distributed DNA fragments in 47 occidental peach varieties, also observing reduced variability levels. On average, there was one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) every 598 bp and one indel every 4,189 bp. As expected, variability was higher in non-coding than in coding regions (one SNP every 390 non-coding bp versus one in 1,850 bp in coding DNA). In general, SNPs were observed at relatively high frequency, mean minor allele frequency?=?0.225, meaning that a large proportion of the SNPs discovered by sequencing similar germplasm will be useful for other purposes, such as association mapping. The average heterozygosity of the varieties was 0.28, with a low correlation between SSR and SNP heterozygosity. The whole sequence of two candidate genes, a pectate lyase 1 candidate for fruit firmness (CGPAA2668) and a sucrose synthase 1 candidate for sugar content (CGPPB6189), in the 47 varieties revealed that they both may have suffered a process of balancing selection.     

Search for and analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in rice (Oryza sativa, Oryza rufipogon) and establishment of SNP markers.

We searched for SNPs in 417 regions distributed throughout the genome of three Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cultivars, two indica cultivars, and a wild rice (O. rufipogon). We found 2800 SNPs in approximately 250,000 aligned bases for an average of one SNP every 89 bp, or one SNP every 232 bp between two randomly selected strains. Graphic representation of the frequency of SNPs along each chromosome showed uneven distribution of polymorphism-rich and -poor regions, but little obvious association with the centromere or telomere. The 94 SNPs that we found between the closely related cultivars 'Nipponbare' and 'Koshihikari' can be converted into molecular markers. Our establishment of 213 co-dominant SNP markers distributed throughout the genome illustrates the immense potential of SNPs as molecular markers not only for genome research, but also for molecular breeding of rice.
