The open reading frames of 17 connexins from Syrian hamster (using tissues) and 16 connexins from the Chinese hamster cell line V79, were fully (Cx30, Cx31, Cx37, Cx43 and Cx45) or partially sequenced. We have also detected, and partially sequenced, seven rat connexins that previously were unavailable. The expression of connexin genes was examined in some hamster organs and cultured hamster cells, and compared with wild-type mouse and the cancer-prone Min mouse. Although the expression patterns were similar for most organs and connexins in hamster and mouse, there were also some prominent differences (Cx29 and 30.3 in testis; Cx31.1 and 32 in eye; Cx46 in brain, kidney and testis; Cx47 in kidney). This suggests that some connexins have species-specific expression profiles. In contrast, there were minimal differences in expression profiles between wild type and Min mice. Species-specific expression profiles should be considered in attempts to make animal models of human connexin-associated diseases. 相似文献

Quantitative autoradiographic localization of neuropeptide Y (NPY) binding sites in rat posterior pituitary lobe 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
1. We have localized and quantified neuropeptide Y (NPY) binding sites in the rat pituitary gland after incubation of tissue sections in the presence of 125I-Bolton-Hunter NPY followed by autoradiography, computerized microdensitometry, and comparison to 125I-standards. 2. In the rat, NPY binding sites are localized exclusively to the part of the posterior pituitary lobe closer to the pituitary stalk. No NPY binding sites could be found in the intermediate or the anterior pituitary lobes. 3. Our results suggest a role for NPY in the regulation of pituitary function and, in particular, that of the neural lobe. 相似文献

A polymorphic MspI site was located in the X-specific region proximal to the pseudoautosomal boundary. Two alleles defined by the absence or the presence of the MspI site were detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a sample of Bantu-speaking individuals from Cameroon. No variation for this site was observed in a population sample from Italy. 相似文献

Characterization of a Small Family (CAIII) of Microsatellite-Containing Sequences with X-Y Homology 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Patrizia Malaspina Bianca Maria Ciminelli Luigi Viggiano Carla Jodice Fulvio Cruciani Piero Santolamazza Daniele Sellitto Rosaria Scozzari Luciano Terrenato Mariano Rocchi Andrea Novelletto 《Journal of molecular evolution》1997,44(6):652-659
Four X-linked loci showing homology with a previously described Y-linked polymorphic locus (DYS413) were identified and characterized.
By fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), somatic cell hybrids, and YAC screening, the X-linked members of this small family
of sequences (CAIII) all map in Xp22, while the Y members map in Yq11. These loci contribute to the overall similarity of
the two genomic regions. All of the CAIII loci contain an internal microsatellite of the (CA)n type. The microsatellites display extensive length polymorphism in two of the X-linked members as well as in the Y members.
In addition, common sequence variants are found in the portions flanking the microsatellites in two of the X-linked members.
Our results indicate that, during the evolution of this family, length variation on the Y chromosome was accumulated at a
rate not slower than that on the X chromosome. Finally, these sequences represent a model system with which to analyze human
populations for similar X- and Y-linked polymorphisms.

Combined use of biallelic and microsatellite Y-chromosome polymorphisms to infer affinities among African populations. 下载免费PDF全文
R Scozzari F Cruciani P Santolamazza P Malaspina A Torroni D Sellitto B Arredi G Destro-Bisol G De Stefano O Rickards C Martinez-Labarga D Modiano G Biondi P Moral A Olckers D C Wallace A Novelletto 《American journal of human genetics》1999,65(3):829-846
To define Y-chromosome haplotypes, we studied seven biallelic polymorphic sites. We combined data with those from four dinucleotide-repeat polymorphisms, to establish Y-chromosome compound superhaplotypes. Eight biallelic haplotypes that matched the dendrogram proposed by other investigators were identified in 762 Y chromosomes from 25 African populations. For each biallelic site, coalescence time of lineages carrying the derived allele was estimated and compared with previous estimates. The "ancestral" haplotype (haplotype 1A) was observed among Ethiopians, "Khoisan" (!Kung and Khwe), and populations from northern Cameroon. Microsatellite distributions within this haplotype showed that the Khoisan haplotypes 1A are widely divergent from those of the other two groups. Populations from northern Africa and northern Cameroon share a haplotype (i.e., 1C), which is not observed in other African populations but represents a major Eurasian cluster. Haplotypes 1C of northern Cameroon are clearly distinct from those of Europe, whereas haplotypes 1C of northern African are well intermingled with those of the other two groups. Apportionment of diversity for the Y-chromosomal biallelic haplotypes was calculated after populations were clustered into different configurations. Despite some correspondence between language affiliation and genetic similarity, geographic proximity seems to be a better predictor of genetic affinity. 相似文献

Extensive female-mediated gene flow from sub-Saharan Africa into near eastern Arab populations 下载免费PDF全文

We have analyzed and compared mitochondrial DNA variation of populations from the Near East and Africa and found a very high frequency of African lineages present in the Yemen Hadramawt: more than a third were of clear sub-Saharan origin. Other Arab populations carried approximately 10% lineages of sub-Saharan origin, whereas non-Arab Near Eastern populations, by contrast, carried few or no such lineages, suggesting that gene flow has been preferentially into Arab populations. Several lines of evidence suggest that most of this gene flow probably occurred within the past approximately 2,500 years. In contrast, there is little evidence for male-mediated gene flow from sub-Saharan Africa in Y-chromosome haplotypes in Arab populations, including the Hadramawt. Taken together, these results are consistent with substantial migration from eastern Africa into Arabia, at least in part as a result of the Arab slave trade, and mainly female assimilation into the Arabian population as a result of miscegenation and manumission. 相似文献

A back migration from Asia to sub-Saharan Africa is supported by high-resolution analysis of human Y-chromosome haplotypes 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21 下载免费PDF全文
Cruciani F Santolamazza P Shen P Macaulay V Moral P Olckers A Modiano D Holmes S Destro-Bisol G Coia V Wallace DC Oefner PJ Torroni A Cavalli-Sforza LL Scozzari R Underhill PA 《American journal of human genetics》2002,70(5):1197-1214
The variation of 77 biallelic sites located in the nonrecombining portion of the Y chromosome was examined in 608 male subjects from 22 African populations. This survey revealed a total of 37 binary haplotypes, which were combined with microsatellite polymorphism data to evaluate internal diversities and to estimate coalescence ages of the binary haplotypes. The majority of binary haplotypes showed a nonuniform distribution across the continent. Analysis of molecular variance detected a high level of interpopulation diversity (PhiST=0.342), which appears to be partially related to the geography (PhiCT=0.230). In sub-Saharan Africa, the recent spread of a set of haplotypes partially erased pre-existing diversity, but a high level of population (PhiST=0.332) and geographic (PhiCT=0.179) structuring persists. Correspondence analysis shows that three main clusters of populations can be identified: northern, eastern, and sub-Saharan Africans. Among the latter, the Khoisan, the Pygmies, and the northern Cameroonians are clearly distinct from a tight cluster formed by the Niger-Congo-speaking populations from western, central western, and southern Africa. Phylogeographic analyses suggest that a large component of the present Khoisan gene pool is eastern African in origin and that Asia was the source of a back migration to sub-Saharan Africa. Haplogroup IX Y chromosomes appear to have been involved in such a migration, the traces of which can now be observed mostly in northern Cameroon. 相似文献

Connexins,gap junctional intercellular communication and kinases 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Cruciani V Mikalsen SO 《Biology of the cell / under the auspices of the European Cell Biology Organization》2002,94(7-8):433-443
A number of kinases and signal transduction pathways are known to affect gap junctional intercellular communication and/or phosphorylation of connexins. Most of the information is available for protein kinase A, protein kinase C, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and the tyrosine kinase Src. Much less is known for protein kinase G, Ca(2+)-calmodulin dependent protein kinase, and casein kinase. However, the present lack of knowledge is not necessarily synonymous with lack of importance in the regulation of intercellular communication and phosphorylation of connexins. Kinases and the phosphorylation of connexins may be involved in the regulation of gap junctional intercellular communication at all levels ranging from the expression of connexin genes to the degradation of the gap junction channels. The exact role of the phosphorylation depends both on the kinase and the connexin involved, as well as the cellular context. 相似文献
