一个简便的DNA改组(DNA shuffling)操作程序

介绍了一个简便的DNA改组操作程序.首先利用PCR扩增了两段具有高度序列同源性的1 700 bp左右的基因片段,两者相比较同源性大于93%.然后将其等量混合后,在Mg²⁺存在的条件下,用DNaseⅠ切割成10～50 bp的小片段.这些小片段在不外加引物的前提下,利用PCR反应进行重聚,再将重聚物经过两轮正常的PCR扩增,获得了与原来片段大小相当的基因片段.这一技术有利于从一组序列同源性程度较高的基因库构建随机嵌合基因.

Identification of three SNPs in the porcine myostatin gene (MSTN)

Thirteen pairs of primers were designed for the entire porcine MSTN gene to enable PCR amplification for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by a PCR-SSCP approach. Altogether 96.5% (1089/1128) of the encoding regions and 971 bp of the non-coding regions were screened. A total of three polymorphisms were identified with PCR-SSCP. They were located in the promoter, intron one and exon three regions of the gene. These polymorphisms were then confirmed to be point mutations (T --> A transversion, G --> A transition and C --> T transition respectively) by sequencing. Allele frequencies were determined for all three SNPs in several different pig breed populations. The polymorphisms were found to be rare in Western breeds, but much more common in Chinese breeds. Whether they have any relationship with the marked difference in lean meat mass between Western and Chinese breeds requires further study.     

IDENTIFICATION OF THREE SNPs IN THE PORCINE MYOSTATIN GENE (MSTN)

ABSTRACT

Thirteen pairs of primers were designed for the entire porcine MSTN gene to enable PCR amplification for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by a PCR-SSCP approach. Altogether 96.5% (1089/1128) of the encoding regions and 971?bp of the non-coding regions were screened. A total of three polymorphisms were identified with PCR-SSCP. They were located in the promoter, intron one and exon three regions of the gene. These polymorphisms were then confirmed to be point mutations (T→A transversion, G→A transition and C→T transition respectively) by sequencing. Allele frequencies were determined for all three SNPs in several different pig breed populations. The polymorphisms were found to be rare in Western breeds, but much more common in Chinese breeds. Whether they have any relationship with the marked difference in lean meat mass between Western and Chinese breeds requires further study.     

PCR-SSCP技术在微生物检测中的应用

聚合酶链式反应-单链构象多态性(PCR-SSCP)是一种能够检测DNA突变的分子生物学分析技术,具有快速、简便、灵敏与适于大样本筛选的特点,近年来被广泛应用于生命科学领域的研究。对PCR-SSCP技术在微生物检测研究领域的应用和发展作简要的介绍。     

Polymorphism of the ovine keratin-associated protein 1-4 gene (<Emphasis Type="Italic">KRTAP1-4</Emphasis>)

Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are one of the main structural components of the wool fibre and form a semi-rigid matrix in which the keratin intermediate filaments are embedded. Variation in the KAP genes may affect the structure of KAPs and hence wool characteristics. In this study, we used PCR-SSCP to analyse ovine KRTAP1-4 (previously B2D), a gene encoding a member of the KAP1-x family. Nine different PCR-SSCP patterns were detected in the 320 sheep that were analysed. Either one or a combination of two patterns was observed for each sheep, which was consistent with these sheep being either homozygous or heterozygous for this gene. DNA sequencing revealed that these patterns represent nine different DNA sequences. All of these sequences were unique, but shared a high homology with the published ovine KRTAP1-4 sequence, suggesting that these sequences represent allelic variants of KRTAP1-4. There were a total of 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified and these SNPs tended to be clustered in two regions. Of the 13 SNPs found in the coding region, nine were non-synonymous SNPs and would result in amino acid changes. The variation detected here may have an impact on the structure of KAP1-4 and hence affect wool traits.

SNPs of hemocyanin C-terminal fragment in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

In this study, we identified a variable region in the C-terminus of hemocyanin from the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (2288-2503bp, HcSC) by sequence alignments. A total of 13 SNPs were identified by PCR-SSCP and HcSC clone sequencing. The SSCP patterns of HcSC could be modulated in Vibro parahaemolyticus-treated shrimps. A novel SSCP band with four SNP sites was identified in V. parahaemolyticus-resistant shrimps. More importantly, three of these four SNPs introduced variations in amino acid sequence and possibly secondary structure of the HcSC polypeptide and resulted in a higher agglutinative activity against seven pathogenic bacteria. These results suggest that the C-terminus of shrimp L. vannamei hemocyanin possesses SNPs, which may be related to shrimp resistance to different pathogens.     

Novel SNPs of the Bovine PRLR Gene Associated with Milk Production Traits

The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within exon 10 of the prolactin receptor gene (PRLR) were detected in Chinese Holstein cows using polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing methods, and their genetic effects on milk production traits were evaluated in this study. Two newly detected SNPs (g.9206G→A and g.9681C→T) caused amino acid variations E378K and A536V, respectively, which were then preliminarily predicted at the topological level. Statistical results indicated that the two SNPs were significantly associated with milk yields, and cows with the combined genotype GGCC showed superior milk performance. A putative phosphorylation site was identified at residue 378K ([ST]-×-[RK]), which offers a partial explanation for the associations. These results suggest that the two novel SNPs within exon 10 of the PRLR gene associated with milk production traits are useful genetic markers in a selection program for Holstein dairy cattle.

Direct inference of SNP heterozygosity rates and resolution of LOH detection

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been increasingly utilized to investigate somatic genetic abnormalities in premalignancy and cancer. LOH is a common alteration observed during cancer development, and SNP assays have been used to identify LOH at specific chromosomal regions. The design of such studies requires consideration of the resolution for detecting LOH throughout the genome and identification of the number and location of SNPs required to detect genetic alterations in specific genomic regions. Our study evaluated SNP distribution patterns and used probability models, Monte Carlo simulation, and real human subject genotype data to investigate the relationships between the number of SNPs, SNP HET rates, and the sensitivity (resolution) for detecting LOH. We report that variances of SNP heterozygosity rate in dbSNP are high for a large proportion of SNPs. Two statistical methods proposed for directly inferring SNP heterozygosity rates require much smaller sample sizes (intermediate sizes) and are feasible for practical use in SNP selection or verification. Using HapMap data, we showed that a region of LOH greater than 200 kb can be reliably detected, with losses smaller than 50 kb having a substantially lower detection probability when using all SNPs currently in the HapMap database. Higher densities of SNPs may exist in certain local chromosomal regions that provide some opportunities for reliably detecting LOH of segment sizes smaller than 50 kb. These results suggest that the interpretation of the results from genome-wide scans for LOH using commercial arrays need to consider the relationships among inter-SNP distance, detection probability, and sample size for a specific study. New experimental designs for LOH studies would also benefit from considering the power of detection and sample sizes required to accomplish the proposed aims.     

SNPs of CXCR1 gene and its associations with somatic cell score in Chinese Holstein cattle

Mastitis is one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cattle; CXCR1 plays a key role in mastitis resistance via IL8 signaling pathway, with the CXCR1 SNPs showing a different degree of mastitis resistance. To investigate the situation of CXCR1 polymorphisms in Chinese Holstein cattle and determine the relationship between the CXCR1 SNPs and mastitis resistance, the CXCR1 SNPs in 610 Chinese Holstein cattle of 30 families were investigated using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique. The results showed that four SNPs, -1830A > G, -1768T > A, -344T > C, and 783C > A were detected at 5' upstream and coding region. The correlation analysis demonstrated that -1830AA, -1768TT, and -344TT correlated significantly with the lowest SCS for each site, respectively. Haplotype analysis revealed Haplo2 (ATTA) correlated significantly with the lowest SCS. These findings indicated a prospect genetic marker of mastitis resistance in dairy cattle.
