The 1q21 to 25 region of human chromosome 1 contains genes which encode proteins with immune- and inflammation-associated
functions. These include the pentraxin genes, for C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid P (SAP) protein (APCS), and a CRP pseudogene (CRPP1). The region of chromosome 1 containing this cluster is syntenic with distal mouse chromosome 1. We constructed an approximately
1.4 megabase yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contig with the pentraxin genes at its core. This four-YAC contig includes
other genes with immune functions including the FCER1A gene, which encodes the α-subunit of the IgE high-affinity Fc receptor and the IFI-16 gene, an interferon-γ-induced gene. In addition, it contains the histone H3F2 and H4F2 genes and the gene for erythroid α-spectrin (SPTA1). The gene order is cen.-SPTA1-H4F2-H3F2-IFI-16-CRP-CRPP1-APCS-FCER1A- tel. The contig thus consists of a cluster of genes whose products either have immunological importance, bind DNA, or both.

Chicken CD69 and CD94/NKG2-like genes in a chromosomal region syntenic to mammalian natural killer gene complex 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
In mammals, natural killer (NK) cell C-type lectin receptors were encoded in a gene cluster called natural killer gene complex
(NKC). The NKC is not reported in chicken yet. Instead, NK receptor genes were found in the major histocompatibility complex.
In this study, two novel chicken C-type lectin-like receptor genes were identified in a region on chromosome 1 that is syntenic
to mammalian NKC region. The chromosomal locations were validated with fluorescent in situ hybridization. Based on 3D structure
modeling, sequence homology, chromosomal location, and phlylogenetic analysis, one receptor is the orthologue of mammalian
cluster of differentiation 69 (CD69), and the other is highly homologous to CD94 and NKG2. Like CD94/NKG2 gene found in teleostean
fishes, chicken CD94/NKG2 has the features of both human CD94 and NKG2A. Unlike mammalian NKC, these two chicken C-type lectin
receptors are not closely linked but separated by 42 million base pairs according to the chicken draft genome sequence. The
arrangement of several other genes that are located outside the mammalian NKC is conserved among chicken, human, and mouse.
The chicken NK C-type lectin-like receptors in the NKC syntenic region indicate that this chromosomal region existed before
the divergence between mammals and aves.

The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is located within a 4 megabase segment on chromosome 6p21.3. Recently, a
highly divergent MHC class I chain-related gene family, MIC was identified within the class I region. The MICA and MICB genes in this family have unique patterns of tissue expression. The MICA gene is highly polymorphic, with more than 20 alleles identified to date. To elucidate the extent of MICB allelic variations, we sequenced exons 2 (α1), 3 (α2), 4 (α3), and 5 (transmembrane) as well as introns 2 and 4 of this gene
in 46 HLA homozygous B-cell lines. We report the identification of eleven alleles based on seven non-synonymous, two synonymous, and
four intronic nucleotide variations. Interestingly, one allele has a nonsense mutation resulting in a premature termination
codon in the α2 domain. Thus, MICB appears to have fewer alleles than MICA, not unlike the allelic ratio between the HLA-C and -B loci. A preliminary linkage analysis of the MICB alleles with those of the closely located MICA and HLA-B genes revealed no conspicuous linkage disequilibrium between them, implying the presence of a potential recombination hotspot
between the MICB and MICA genes.

A yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contig from the C57BL/6 (H2
b
) mouse was created from the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc, H2 in mouse) class Ib subregion, H2-M. It spans approximately 1.2 megabase (Mb) pairs and unites the previous >1.5-Mb YAC contigs (Jones et al. 1995) into a single
contig, which includes 21 Mhc class I genes distal to H2-T1. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig from the 129 (H2
bc
) mouse, spanning approximately 600 kilobases, was also built from Znf173 (Afp, a gene for acid finger protein), through Tctex5 (t-complex testis expressed-5) and Mog (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein), to H2-M2. Twenty-four sequence-tagged site (STS) markers were newly developed, and 35 markers were mapped in the YAC/BAC contigs,
which define the marker order as Cen –Znf173–Tctex5 – Mog–D17Tu42–D17Mit232–H2-M3–D17Leh525–H2-M2– Tel. The gene order of Znf173 – Tctex5 – Mog – D17Tu42 is conserved between mouse and human, showing that the middle H2-M region corresponds to the subregion of the human Mhc surrounding HLA-A.

The gene Ry
adg
that confers resistance to potato Y potyvirus (PVY) in the cultivated potato [Solanum tuberosum subsp. andigena, line 2x(v-2)7] is located on chromosome XI in a segment that contains three other known resistance genes in other syntenic solanaceous
species. One of them is the gene N that controls resistance to tobacco mosaic tobamovirus in tobacco and has previously been isolated and sequenced. Three sequence-related,
resistance gene-like (RGL) DNA fragments (354–369 bp) highly homologous to the gene N were PCR-amplified from the potato line 2x(v-2)7. Two RGL fragments (79 and 81% homologous to the N gene) co-segregated with Ry
adg
among the 77 F1 progeny tested. These RGLs may originate from a resistance gene family on chromosome XI. The potato line
2x(v-2)7 also expressed resistance to potato A potyvirus (PVA), which was controlled by another locus on chromosome XI mapped
ca. 6.8 cM distal to Ry
adg

The New World primate, the cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus), expresses major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules with limited diversity. The uniqueness of the cotton-top
tamarin MHC class I loci may contribute to this species’ unusual susceptibility to viral infections and high incidence of ulcerative
colitis. As a prelude to examining the effect of this limited MHC class I diversity on the tamarin CD8+ T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, we identified expressed tamarin TCR β chain (TCRB) cDNAs by anchored and inverse polymerase chain reaction. Sequence alignments and phylogenetic comparisons with human and
rhesus macaque sequences identified homologues of 21 human variable (V) gene families. Only single variable region genes were identified in each of these tamarin VB families, with the exception of the VB 5, 9, and 13 families which were comprised of two or three distinct members. The multiple genes within these three VB families do not appear to have separate human homologues, but rather aligned equally well to a single human gene from their
respective VB families. These genes appear to have arisen, therefore, by duplication of certain VB genes in the tamarin ancestors following their divergence from the lineage leading to Old World primates and hominoids. Homologues
of 12 of the 13 human joining (J) region genes were also identified in the tamarin. Comparison of the proportion of nonsynonymous (pN) and synonymous (pS) substitutions occurring per site within tamarin variable region genes demonstrated a reduction in pN in the framework regions compared with pN in the presumed MHC contact regions (CDR1 and CDR2). Taken together, these findings illustrate that the TCR β chain-encoding
genes of the cotton-top tamarin are similar in structure and degree of complexity compared with their Old World primate and
human counterparts.

Genes of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) have a wide variety of cellular activities. In this study, we investigated
molecular evolution of IgSF genes in primates by comparing orthologous sequences of 249 IgSF genes among human, chimpanzee,
orangutan, rhesus macaque, and common marmoset. To evaluate the non-synonymous/synonymous substitution ratio (ω), we applied
Bn-Bs program and PAML program. IgSF genes were classified into 11 functional categories based on the Gene Ontology (GO) database.
Among them, IgSF genes in three functional categories, immune system process (GO:0002376), defense response (GO:0006952),
and multi-organism process (GO:0051704), which are tightly linked to the regulation of immune system had much higher values
of ω than genes in the other GO categories. In addition, we estimated the average values of ω for each primate lineage. Although
each primate lineage had comparable average values of ω, the human lineage showed the lowest ω value for the immune-related
genes. Furthermore, 11 IgSF genes, SIGLEC5, SLAMF6, CD33, CD3E, CEACAM8, CD3G, FCER1A, CD48, CD4, TIM4, and FCGR2A, were implied to have been under positive selective pressure during the course of primate evolution. Further sequence analyses
of CD3E and CD3G from 23 primate species suggested that the Ig domains of CD3E and CD3G underwent the positive Darwinian selection. 相似文献

To assess polymorphism and variation in human and chimpanzee NK complex genes, we determined the coding-region sequences for CD94 and NKG2A, C, D, E, and F from several human (Homo sapiens) donors and common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). CD94 is highly conserved, while the NKG2 genes exhibit some polymorphism. For all the genes, alternative mRNA splicing variants were frequent among the clones obtained by RT-PCR. Alternative splicing acts similarly in human and chimpanzee to produce the CD94B variant from the CD94 gene and the NKG2B variant from the NKG2A gene. Whereas single chimpanzee orthologs for CD94, NKG2A, NKG2E, and NKG2F were identified, two chimpanzee paralogs of the human NKG2C gene were defined. The chimpanzee Pt-NKG2CI gene encodes a protein similar to human NKG2C, whereas in the chimpanzee Pt-NKG2CII gene the translation frame changes near the beginning of the carbohydrate recognition domain, causing premature termination. Analysis of a panel of chimpanzee NK cell clones showed that Pt-NKG2CI and Pt-NKG2CII are independently and clonally expressed. Pt-NKG2CI and Pt-NKG2CII are equally diverged from human NKG2C, indicating that they arose by gene duplication subsequent to the divergence of chimpanzee and human ancestors. Genomic DNA from 80 individuals representing six primate species were typed for the presence of CD94 and NKG2. Each species gave distinctive typing patterns, with NKG2A and CD94 being most conserved. Seven different NK complex genotypes within the panel of 48 common chimpanzees were due to differences in Pt-NKG2C and Pt-NKG2D genes. 相似文献

Although many human major histocompatibility genes have been identified, relatively few have been localized to the class
I region. We searched for new class I region genes by sample sequencing, a process in which short stretches of random genomic
sequence are generated from cosmids and then compared with sequences deposited in nucleotide databases. Four class I region
cosmids were isolated for sample sequencing by screening a chromosome 6 specific cosmid library with probes derived from specific
class I region genes or with overlapping class I region yeast artificial chromosomes. Cosmids were sonnicated to produce fragments
of 0.5 – 1 kilobases, subcloned, and sequenced using an automated sequencer. Sequences were then compared with nucleotide
sequences deposited in the GenBank databases using the BLASTN algorithm. A number of potential new class I region genes were
identified, including a cDNA with similarity to the tre oncogene, the trans-activating factor SC1 (TCF19), and a member of the interferon inducible 1 – 8 gene family. These observations suggest that sample sequencing is an efficient method for identifying new class I region
genes, which can be applied to other regions of the genome and to other species, and support previous observations that the
class I region contains a variety of genes other than those encoding HLA antigens.

NKG2D is a major activating receptor of natural killer cells. Its ligands are major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class
I-like molecules whose expression is induced by cellular stresses such as infections and tumorigenesis. Humans have two families
of NKG2D ligands (NKG2DL): MHC class I-related chains (MIC) encoded in the MHC and UL16-binding proteins (ULBP) encoded outside
the MHC. By contrast, mice have only the latter family of ligands; instead, they have non-MHC-encoded MILL molecules that
are closely related to MIC, but do not function as NKG2DL. To gain insights into the origin and evolution of MIC, ULBP, and MILL gene families, we conducted comparative genomic analysis of NKG2DL family genes in five mammalian species. In the opossum
MHC, we identified a ULBP-like gene adjacent to a previously described MIC-like gene, suggesting that ULBP genes were originally encoded in the MHC. The opossum genome also contained a transcribed MILL-like gene in a region syntenic to the rodent regions encoding MILL molecules. These observations indicate that MIC-, ULBP-, and MILL-like genes emerged before the divergence of placental and marsupial mammals. Comparison of the human, cattle, rat, mouse,
and opossum genomes indicates that after emigration from the MHC, ULBP genes underwent extensive duplications in each species. In mice, some of the ULBP genes appear to have been translocated telomerically on the same chromosome, forming a major cluster of existent NKG2DL genes. 相似文献

Two sets of single chromosome recombinant lines comparing 2D chromosomes from the wheat varieties ‘Ciano 67’ and ‘Mara’ with
the common 2D chromosome of ‘Cappelle-Desprez’ in a ‘Cappelle-Desprez’ background were used to detect a diagnostic wheat microsatellite
marker for the dwarfing gene Rht8. The genetic linkage maps place the wheat microsatellite marker WMS 261 0.6 cM distal to Rht8 on the short arm of chromosome 2D. By PCR analysis the WMS 261 alleles of ‘Mara’, ‘Cappelle-Desprez’ and ‘Ciano 67’ could
be distinguished by different fragment sizes of 192 bp, 174 bp and 165 bp, respectively. A screen of over 100 international
varieties of wheat showed that the three allelic variants were all widespread. It also demonstrated that a limited number
of varieties carried novel WMS 261 variants of over 200 bp. Following classification of the individual recombinant lines for
allelic variants at the WMS 261 locus it was possible to attribute a 7- to 8-cm reduction in plant height with the WMS 261-192-bp
allele compared to the WMS 261-174-bp allele in the set of recombinant lines comparing 2D chromosomes of ‘Mara’ and ‘Cappelle-Desprez’.
A height reduction of around 3 cm was detected between the WMS 261-174-bp allele and the WMS 261-165-bp allele in the recombinant
lines comparing 2D chromosomes of ‘Cappelle-Desprez’ and ‘Ciano 67’.

Alignment of class I-hybridizing cosmids from an R21 (A
l

u
grc
+
) genomic DNA library gave two contigs: one [150 kilobases (kb)] encompassed the E/C region, or a large part thereof, and the other (110 kb) contained the grc region which has genes influencing resistance to chemical carcinogens (rcc), fertility (ft), and growth (dw-3). Amplification of gene sequences in the four cosmids in the E/C region using E
u
-specific and LW2 (RT1.C)-specific primers showed that each cosmid contained both E
u
-like and C-like genes. They are clearly different but closely associated, and they show some variation from the prototypic E (E
u
) and C (LW2) genes, respectively. Comparison of DNA from grc
+
and grc
–
strains of rats showed that the deletion in the grc
–
strains was approximately 50 kb, and that it was located on two of the three cosmids in the grc-region contig. The use of specific class I probes showed that the grc region contained tandemly duplicated RT1.O-RT1.N genes and that the RT.BM1 loci lay outside of the grc region. Neither contig reacted with probes specific for class II, TNFA, Hsp70, or RT1.M genes. The data presented here and the previous data in the literature (summarized in Gill et al. 1995) suggest that the
gene order in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and MHC-linked region of the rat is: A-E/C-grc-M.
