The merit of a candidate criterion of resistance to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) was tested with the view of producing experimental trout progeny with a predictable level of resistance. The criterion, the measure of in vitro viral replication in excised fin tissue (VREFT) was previously developed. Three experiments were performed, using both ordinary and homozygous doubled-haploid breeders. A set of 48 progeny was tested. Breeders were individually scored for repeated measures of VREFT, and the progeny were tested against VHSV (strain 07-71, serotype 1) through a waterborne challenge (5 x 10(4) pfu ml(-1) during 2 h). Analysis of repeated measures of VREFT revealed the risk of identifying 'false' resistant individuals. The highest value should be considered the most predictive of the resistance status. Survival of progeny ranged from 0 to 100% according to the group and the experiment. The survival was correlated to the mean VREFT value of the breeders in Expts 1 and 2 (R = 0.96 and 0.61 respectively), but not in Expt 3 (R = 0.36, ns) where all tested progeny were highly susceptible. Results thus indicate that viral growth in fin tissue is genetically correlated to resistance to waterborne disease and may be used to produce selected progeny, at least at the experimental scale. Possible implications of the relationship between VREFT and resistance for the study of resistance mechanisms are discussed. 相似文献

Caveolins, components of caveolae, are expressed in mammary tissue. In order to determine whether caveolins are present in
different mammary cell types and whether their localisation depends on the physiological stage or species, cav-1 and cav-2
were characterised by immunoblotting in mammary tissues from the mouse, ewe and rabbit and localised, by immunofluorescence
and electron microscopy, in mammary tissues from the mouse and ewe. At all the physiological stages studied, cav-1 and cav-2
were present in endothelial and myoepithelial cells in which flask-shaped caveolae were abundant. However, labelling of cav-1
and cav-2 associated with small vesiculo-tubular structures (including those close to lipid droplets) was low in epithelial
cells. To study the possible association of cav-1 with lipid droplets, lactating ewe mammary fragments were treated in vitro
with brefeldin A. This treatment did not modify the association of cav-1-labelled structures with lipid droplets. Finally,
HC11 and MCF-10A mammary cell lines were treated with oleic acid. The total quantity of cav-1 was little affected by the treatment,
although the lipid droplet labelling of cav-1 was amplified in MCF-10A cells. Thus, the synthesis and localisation of caveolins
are mostly dependent upon the cell types of mammary tissue and upon their state of differentiation. 相似文献

Bacteria belonging to the genus Wolbachia are obligatory microendocytobionts that infect a variety of arthropods and a majority of filarial nematode species, where they induce reproductive alterations or establish a mutualistic symbiosis. Although two whole genome sequences of Wolbachia pipientis, for strain wMel from Drosophila melanogaster and strain wBm from Brugia malayi, have been fully completed and six other genome sequencing projects are ongoing (http://www.genomesonline.org/index.cgi?want=Prokaryotic+Ongoin), genetic analyses of these bacteria are still scarce, mainly due to the inability to cultivate them outside of eukaryotic cells. Usually, a large amount of host tissue (a thousand individuals, or about 10 g) is required in order to purify Wolbachia and extract its DNA, which is often recovered in small amounts and contaminated by host cell DNA, thus hindering genomic studies. In this report, we describe an efficient and reliable procedure to representatively amplify the Wolbachia genome by multiple-displacement amplification from limited infected host tissue (0.2 g or 2 x 10(7) cells). We obtained sufficient amounts (8 to 10 microg) of DNA of suitable quality for genomic studies, and we demonstrated that the amplified DNA contained all of the Wolbachia loci targeted. In addition, our data indicated that the genome of strain wRi, an obligatory endosymbiont of Drosophila simulans, shares a similar overall architecture with its relative strain wMel. 相似文献

To isolate genes of interest in plants, it is essential to construct bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries from specific genotypes. Construction and organisation of BAC libraries is laborious and costly, especially from organisms with large and complex genomes. In the present study, we developed the pooled BAC library strategy that allows rapid and low cost generation and screening of genomic libraries from any genotype of interest. The BAC library is constructed, directly organised into a few pools and screened for BAC clones of interest using PCR and hybridisation steps, without requiring organization into individual clones. As a proof of concept, a pooled BAC library of approximately 177,000 recombinant clones has been constructed from the barley cultivar Cebada Capa that carries the Rph7 leaf rust resistance gene. The library has an average insert size of 140 kb, a coverage of six barley genome equivalents and is organised in 138 pools of about 1,300 clones each. We rapidly established a single contig of six BAC clones spanning 230 kb at the Rph7 locus on chromosome 3HS. The described low-cost cloning strategy is fast and will greatly facilitate direct targeting of genes and large-scale intra- and inter-species comparative genome analysis.Edwige Isidore and Beatrice Scherrer contributed equally to the work. 相似文献

Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality due to gynaecological cancer. Despite a good response to surgery and initial chemotherapy essentially based on cisplatin (cis-diamino-dichloro-platinum(II) (CDDP)) compounds, late tumour detection and frequent recurrences with chemoresistance acquisition are responsible for poor prognosis. Several mechanisms have been implicated in CDDP resistance but they are not sufficient to exhaustively explain this resistance emergence. We applied a proteomic approach based on 2-DE coupled with MS to identify proteins associated with the chemoresistance process. We first established a proteomic pattern of the CDDP sensitive ovarian cell line IGROV1 using MALDI-TOF-MS and PMF. We then compared this 2-D pattern with that of the CDDP-resistant counterpart IGROV1-R10. Among the 40 proteins identified, cytokeratins 8 and 18 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 were overexpressed in IGROV1-R10, whereas annexin IV was down-regulated. These observations have been confirmed by Western blotting. The characterization of such variations could lead to the development of new protein markers or to the establishment of new therapeutic strategies. Moreover, the identification of proteins involved in CDDP resistance in ovarian tumours would be useful in completing our understanding on this complex mechanism. 相似文献

YloQ, from Bacillus subtilis, was identified previously as an essential nucleotide-binding protein of unknown function. YloQ was successfully over-expressed
in Escherichia coli in soluble form. The purified protein displayed a low GTPase activity similar to that of other small bacterial GTPases such
as Bex/Era. Based on the demonstrated GTPase activity and the unusual order of the yloQ G motifs, we now designate this protein as CpgA (circularly permuted GTPase). An unexpected property of this low abundance
GTPase was the demonstration, using gel filtration and ultracentrifugation analysis, that the protein formed stable dimers,
dependent upon the concentration of YloQ(CpgA), but independent of GTP. In order to investigate function, cpgA was placed under the control of the pspac promotor in the B. subtilis chromosome. When grown in E or Spizizen medium in the absence of IPTG, the rate of growth was significantly reduced. A large
proportion of the cells exhibited a markedly perturbed morphology, with the formation of swollen, bent or ‘curly’ shapes.
To confirm that this was specifically due to depleted CpgA a plasmid-borne cpgA under pxyl control was introduced. This restored normal cell shape and growth rate, even in the absence of IPTG, provided xylose was
present. The crystal structure of CpgA(YloQ) suggests a role as a translation initiation factor and we discuss the possibility
that CpgA is involved in the translation of a subset of proteins, including some required for shape maintenance.
