构建小鼠脂联素受体2(mAdipoR2)基因cDNA克隆,并进行序列及基因结构分析,为进一步研究小鼠AdipoR2的表达和生物学活性奠定基础。用RT—PCR方法扩增mAdipoR2基因cDNA,获得的片段连接至pGEM-T载体,转化JM109大肠杆菌,经酶切鉴定后,进行序列测定。利用因特网生物信息学资源分析mAdipoR2基因序列。结果成功地构建了mAdipoR2基因cDNA克隆,其序列与GenBank登录序列一致。通过与小鼠基因组序列比对,分析了mAdipoR2基因结构,其编码序列由7个外显子组成,编码1个含7个跨膜区的膜蛋白,但该受体不属于G蛋白偶联受体家族(GPCRs)。mAdipoR2与人及大鼠蛋白的同源性分别为91％和95％。     

R-ISSR as a new tool for genomic fingerprinting, mapping, and gene tagging

In the present study we propose and test the concept of R-ISSR, a new tool for genomic fingerprinting, mapping, and gene tagging. The concept is based on the fact that primers for inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis elicit different genomic information, and the combined use of these 2 kinds of primers in the same polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reactions might reveal new genomic loci that could not be detected with either technique alone. The feasibility of this tool was first electronically simulated with sequence analysis software andArabidopsis chromosome sequence. Next, different combinations of ISSR and RAPD primers were applied in real PCR reactions to detect new genomic loci in 2 maize lines (Q319 and 1145). Sequencing gels were used to separate PCR products and showed good resolving ability in comparison with agarose gels. RAPD primers could be successfully used with ISSR primers for the detection of new genomic loci and applied in a new way for genomic mapping, fingerprinting, and gene tagging.     

DNA测序中常见影响因素的研究

对测序中的模板、引物、测序反应条件及测序反应纯化方法和仪器操作等进行研究。结果显示测序模板的纯度影响测序的质量 ,浓度对测序的长度有影响。引物设计时除符合一般设计原则外 ,Tm值最好在5 0℃～ 6 0℃之间 ,且无成串的G、C。改变变性、退火、延伸的时间和温度对特殊DNA模板的序列测定有较好的效果。测序反应产物的纯化有几种方法 ,以 70 %乙醇沉淀法最经济、方便。因此模板的纯度和浓度对测序成功与否起决定作用。最佳反应条件可降低成本 ,提高测序成功率 ,乙醇沉淀法是首选的测序反应产物纯化方法。仪器操作熟练、正确与否也会影响测序结果。     

Cloning and expression of swine myostatin gene and its application in animal immunization trial

An important performance trait target in swine breeding is the percentage of the lean meat within the total consumable pork. China has numerous indige-nous swine breeds, but the percentage of the lean meat percentage is generally low. Thus, increasing the per-centage of the lean meat would improve the pork qual-ity, which would have great importance in the devel-opment of our livestock industry as well as the opti-mization of the consumers’ dietary. Throughout the years researchers have been …     

The use of a hybrid linear trap/FT-ICR mass spectrometer for on-line high resolution/high mass accuracy bottom-up sequencing.

In this work we present a hybrid linear trap/Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass spectrometer to perform protein sequencing using the bottom-up approach. We demonstrate that incorporation of the linear trap greatly enhances the overall performance of the hybrid system for the study of complex peptide mixtures separated by fast high-performance liquid chromatography gradients. The ability to detect in the linear trap enables employment of automatic gain control to greatly reduce space charging in the ICR cell irregardless of ion flux. Resulting accurate mass measurements of 2 ppm or better using external calibration are achieved for the base peak as well as ions at 2% relative abundance. The linear trap is used to perform ion accumulation and activation prior to detection in the ICR cell which increases the scan rate. The increased duty cycle allows for data-dependent mass analysis of coeluting peptides to be acquired increasing protein sequence coverage without increasing the gradient length. In addition, the linear trap could be used as an ion detection device to perform simultaneous detection of tandem mass spectra with full scan mass spectral detection in the ICR cell resulting in the fastest scan cycles for performing bottom-up sequencing of protein digests. Comparisons of protein sequence coverage are presented for product ion detection in the linear trap and ICR cell.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Longidorus americanum n. sp. (Nematoda: Longidoridae), a Needle Nematode Parasitizing Pine in Georgia

We describe and illustrate a new needle nematode, Longidorus americanum n. sp., associated with patches of severely stunted and chlorotic loblolly pine, (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings in seedbeds at the Flint River Nursery (Byromville, GA). It is characterized by having females with a body length of 5.4-9.0 mm; lip region slightly swollen, anteriorly flattened, giving the anterior end a truncate appearance; long odontostyle (124-165 µm); vulva at 44%-52% of body length; and tail conoid, bluntly rounded to almost hemispherical. Males are rare but present, and in general shorter than females. The new species is morphologically similar to L. biformis, L. paravineacola, L. saginus, and L. tarjani but differs from these species either by the body, odontostyle and total stylet length, or by head and tail shape. Sequence data from the D2-D3 region of the 28S rDNA distinguishes this new species from other Longidorus species. Phylogenetic relationships of Longidorus americanum n. sp. with other longidorids based on analysis of this DNA fragment are presented. Additional information regarding the distribution of this species within the region is required.
