花的调节基因的开放和关闭

在动物和植物的生长过程中,调节基因决定细胞的最终发展方向。目前,许多调节基因的表达方式已经在时间和空间上被确定下来,比如在研究花的结构基因时所涉及到的花的调节基因。现在已经明确的花的结构基因有ＬＦＹ基因（ＬＥＡＦＹ基因）、ＡＰ１基因（ＡＰＥＴＡＬＡ１基因）和ＡＧ基因（ＡＧＡＭＯＵＳ基因）。其中,ＬＦＹ基因和ＡＰ１基因决定花的分生组织;ＡＧ基因负责控制雄蕊和心皮。那么,这些结构基因是如何受调节基因的控制？环境因素（比如日照时间）又是如何影响花的结构基因和调节基因的表达？目前已有两项研究对以上问题提…

Structure of the mouse glial fibrillary acidic protein gene: implications for the evolution of the intermediate filament multigene family.

We report the complete sequence of the gene encoding mouse glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), the intermediate filament (IF) protein specific to astrocytes. The 9.8 kb gene includes nine exons separated by introns ranging in size from 0.2 to 2.5 kb. A comparison of the organization of the GFAP gene with that of genes encoding other IF proteins reveals that the structure of IF genes is highly conserved in spite of considerable divergence at the amino acid level. Thus, most of the evolutionary events leading to the placement of introns in IF genes must have occurred prior to the duplication and subsequent divergence of IF genes from a presumptive common ancestral sequence. The conserved gene organization is unrelated to structural features of IF proteins. A curious feature of the GFAP gene is the large number of repeated sequences found in the introns. Six tracts of reiterated di- or trinucleotides are present, plus tandem repeats of two different novel sequences. One repeat is unique to the GFAP gene; the other occurs elsewhere in the mouse genome, although at relatively low frequency.     

猪Toll样受体4基因SNPs功能分析

Toll样受体4(Toll-like receptor 4,TLR4)在机体的免疫反应中发挥重要作用,该基因突变会影响受体的信号转导能力和机体的疾病抗性/易感性。文章在前期工作的基础上,进一步分析c.611 T>A(p.Leu204His)、c.1027C>A(p.Gln343Lys)和c.1605 G>T(p.Leu535Phe)3个错义突变对猪TLR4功能的影响。利用RT-PCR方法克隆猪TLR4基因全长编码区并引入定点突变;利用真核表达、双荧光素酶报告系统和Western blotting方法在瞬时转染的PK-15细胞内研究3个单核苷酸多态(Single nucleotide polymorphisms,SNPs)对猪TLR4配体识别和信号转导能力的影响;同时,利用创造酶切位点PCR-RFLP方法分析对TLR4活性有显著影响的点突变在民猪、大白、长白和中国东北野猪4个群体中的分布。结果,成功获得了民猪TLR4基因的全长编码区和3个单碱基变异体,构建了不同等位基因的真核表达载体,在PK-15细胞内确定了c.1605 G>T变异导致TLR4向下游传递信号的能力显著降低(P<0.01),该SNP只存在于民猪和野猪中且频率较高。猪TLR4基因c.1605 G>T变异影响Toll样受体的信号传递,可能和机体的疾病抗性/易感性有关。     

Nucleotide sequence of the p53 cDNA of beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas)

The cDNA (DNA complementary to RNA) of the p53 gene of the beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) was sequenced by the method of 5'- and 3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) with the cDNA made for the RNA obtained from fresh peripheral blood leukocytes isolated from two animals. Primers for the RACE method were synthesized based on the sequence of the DNA of beluga whale corresponding to exon 5 of the human p53 gene, which was determined after amplification of the DNA isolated from the liver from a beluga whale by using a pair of primers for the human sequence. The sequenced cDNA had a 2150-nucleotide length and contained the whole region corresponding to human exons 1 through 11. The reading frame was 1164 bp (base pair) long and began in exon 2 and ended in exon 11, coding for a 387-amino acid protein. The nucleotide sequence of the reading frame showed high similarity over 85% with pig, sheep, cow, and human genes. The similarities with the former two animals at the amino acid level were also more than 85%. Lower similarity of the beluga whale p53 gene was also found with those of lower tetrapods, fish and invertebrates.     

Comparative human-mouse-rat sequence analysis of the ICAM gene cluster on HSA 19p13.2 and a 185-kb porcine region from SSC 2q

The human intercellular adhesion molecule gene (ICAM) cluster is located in a GC-rich and gene-rich region on HSA 19p13.2. We determined the complete DNA sequence of a 185-kb porcine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone containing parts of the ICAM gene cluster. We used the porcine sequence for a detailed comparative analysis between human, pig, mouse and rat. The 185 kb of porcine sequence covered 220 kb of homologous sequence in the human genome, which adds to the growing evidence that the porcine genome is somewhat smaller than the human genome. The genomic sequences of the four species showed a high level of conserved synteny and no rearrangements in gene order were observed. During evolution, the ICAM3 gene was inactivated by mutation in the mouse and rat genome, whereas it is still present in the human and pig genome. The loss of Icam3 in rodent genomes might be relevant for rodent-specific properties of the T-cell-mediated immune response. All the other investigated genes are conserved across all four investigated sequences.     

Cloning, mapping and association study with carcass traits of the porcine SDHD gene

A 1320-bp cDNA containing the full coding region of the porcine succinate dehydrogenase complex, subunit D (SDHD) gene was obtained by random sequencing of clones from a Chinese Tongcheng pig 55-day fetal longissimus dorsi muscle cDNA library. Analysis of the SDHD gene across the INRA-University of Minnesota porcine radiation hybrid panel indicated close linkage with microsatellite marker SW2401, located on SSC9p21. The open reading frame of this cDNA covers 480 bp and encodes 159 amino acids. The deduced porcine amino acid sequence showed greater similarity with human and bovine protein sequences than with those from mouse and rat. The BLAST analysis of the porcine SDHD to NCBI identified Unigene Cluster Ssc.2586. Possible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified by alignment of expressed sequence tags in the cluster. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) single strand conformation polymorphism, sequencing, and PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism were used to confirm and detect a synonymous polymorphic MboI site within the open-reading frame. Allele frequencies of this SNP were investigated in two commercial and five Chinese local pig breeds. These five Chinese breeds had very high frequencies for one allele, whereas frequencies of both alleles were intermediate in Large White and Duroc. An association analysis suggested that different SDHD genotypes have significant differences in loin-muscle area (P < 0.01).
