A physical map of ordered bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones was constructed to determine the genetic organization of the horse major histocompatibility complex. Human, cattle, pig, mouse, and rat MHC gene sequences were compared to identify highly conserved regions which served as source templates for the design of overgo primers. Thirty-five overgo probes were designed from 24 genes and used for hybridization screening of the equine USDA CHORI 241 BAC library. Two hundred thirty-eight BAC clones were assembled into two contigs spanning the horse MHC region. The first contig contains the MHC class II region and was reduced to a minimum tiling path of nine BAC clones that span approximately 800 kb and contain at least 20 genes. A minimum tiling path of a second contig containing the class III/I region is comprised of 14 BAC clones that span approximately 1.6 Mb and contain at least 34 genes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using representative clones from each of the three regions of the MHC localized the contigs onto ECA20q21 and oriented the regions relative to one another and the centromere. Dual-colored FISH revealed that the class I region is proximal to the centromere, the class II region is distal, and the class III region is located between class I and II. These data indicate that the equine MHC is a single gene-dense region similar in structure and organization to the human MHC and is not disrupted as in ruminants and pigs. 相似文献

An ovine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library containing 190,000 BAC clones was constructed and subsequently screened to construct a BAC-based physical map for the ovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Two hundred thirty-three BAC clones were selected by 84 overgo probes designed on human, mouse, and swine MHC sequence homologies. Ninety-four clones were ordered by DNA fingerprinting to form contigs I, II, and III that correspond to ovine MHC class I-class III, class IIa, and class IIb. The minimum tiling paths of contigs I, II, and III are 15, 4, and 4 BAC clones, spanning approximately 1900, 400, and 300 kb, respectively. The order and orientation of most BAC clones in each contig were confirmed by BAC-end sequencing. An open gap exists between class IIa and class III. This work helps to provide a foundation for detailed study of ovine MHC genes and of evolution of MHCs in mammals. 相似文献

The rat is an important model for studying organ graft rejection and susceptibility to certain complex diseases. The MHC, the RT1 complex, plays a decisive role in controlling these traits. We have cloned the telomeric class I region of the RT1 complex, RT1-C/E/M, of the BN inbred rat strain in a contig of overlapping P1-derived artificial chromosome clones encompassing approximately 2 Mb, and present a physical map of this MHC region. Forty-five class I exon 4-hybridizing BAM:HI fragments were detected, including the previously known rat class I genes RT1-E, RT-BM1, RT1-N, RT1-M2, RT1-M3, and RT1-M4. Twenty-six non-class I genes known to map to the corresponding part of the human and mouse MHC were tested and could be fine mapped in the RT1-C/E/M region at orthologous position. Four previously known microsatellite markers were fine mapped in the RT1-C/E/M region and found to occur in multiple copies. In addition, a new, single-copy polymorphic microsatellite has been defined. The expression profiles of several class I genes and the 26 non-class I genes were determined in 13 different tissues and exhibited restricted patterns in most cases. The data provide further molecular information on the MHC for analyzing disease susceptibility and underline the usefulness of the rat model. 相似文献

Comparative feline genomics: a BAC/PAC contig map of the major histocompatibility complex class II region 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The genome organization of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) will be best understood in a comparative evolutionary context. We describe here the construction of a physical map for the feline MHC. A large-insert domestic cat genomic DNA library was developed using a P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) with a genomic representation of 2.5x and an average insert size of 80 kb. A sequence-ready 660-kb bacterial artificial chromosome/PAC contig map of the domestic cat MHC class II region was constructed with a gene order similar to, but distinct from, that of human and mice: DPB/DPA, Ring3, DMB, TAP1, DOB, DRB2, DRA3, DRB1, DRA2, and DRA1. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses of selected class II PAC clones confirmed that the class II region lies in the pericentromeric region of cat chromosome B2. However, apparently unlike the human and mouse MHCs, the domestic cat DRA and DRB genes have undergone multiple duplications and the DQ region has been deleted. 相似文献

Physical mapping and evolution of the centromeric class I gene-containing region of the rat MHC 总被引:6,自引:6,他引:0
We physically mapped the centromeric part of the BN rat MHC (RT1n haplotype) in a contig of overlapping P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) clones encompassing about 300 kb. The following genes were identified and ordered as: (Syngap, Hset, Daxx, Bing1)-Tapbp-Rgl2-Ke2-Bing4-B3galt4- Rps18-Sacm2l-RT1-A1-RT1-A2-RT1-A3-Ring1-Ring2-++ +Ke4-Rxrb-Col11a2-RT1-Hb-Ring3-RT1-DMb. Thus, in contrast to other RT1 haplotypes, RT1n contains three class I genes, RT1-A1, RT1-A2, and RT1-A3, mapping between the Sacm2l and Ring1 genes. Comparisons of the sequences flanking the Sacm2L and Ring1 genes in rat, human, and mouse suggest that the class I gene-containing region was inserted between these genes in rat and mouse at a similar position. Thus, this insertion is likely to have occurred in a common ancestor of these rodents, although the presence of a site particularly permissive for insertions cannot be excluded. 相似文献

We generated a sequence-ready BAC/PAC contig spanning approximately 5.5 Mb on porcine chromosome 6q1.2, which represents a very gene-rich genome region. STS content mapping was used as the main strategy for the assembly of the contig and a total of 6 microsatellite markers, 53 gene-related STS and 116 STS corresponding to BAC and PAC end sequences were analyzed. The contig comprises 316 BAC and PAC clones covering the region between the genes GPI and LIPE. The correct contig assembly was verified by RH-mapping of STS markers and comparative mapping of BAC/PAC end sequences using BLAST searches. The use of microsatellite primer pairs allowed the integration of the physical maps with the genetic map of this region. Comparative mapping of the porcine BAC/PAC contig with respect to the gene-rich region on the human chromosome 19q13.1 map revealed a completely conserved gene order of this segment, however, physical distances differ somewhat between HSA19q13.1 and SSC6q1.2. Three major differences in DNA content between human and pig are found in two large intergenic regions and in one region of a clustered gene family, respectively. While there is a complete conservation of gene order between pig and human, the comparative analysis with respect to the rodent species mouse and rat shows one breakpoint where a genome segment is inverted. 相似文献

We have constructed a 1.5-Mb contig spanning the distal half of the critical region for cat eye syndrome on human chromosome 22 from D22S543 to D22S181. The contig consists of 20 P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) clones and 11 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones screened from 2 BAC and 2 PAC libraries. Continuous overlap between the clones was confirmed using vectorette PCR and riboprobes. Despite the instability of this region in a previous YAC contig, only 1 BAC showed a minor instability and then in only one isolation. This contig is now providing the basis for genomic sequencing and gene identification in the cat eye syndrome critical region. 相似文献

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is composed of a tightly linked cluster of genes; in dogs, this is referred to as the dog leukocyte antigen (DLA) region. The canine MHC is located on chromosome 12, and several genes within the DLA region have been identified that have significant sequence similarity to their human counterparts. However, in order to characterize other loci in the DLA region, DNA sequencing has begun using a canine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library. Initially 135 BAC clones were isolated from a BAC library using a mixture of human and canine probes. These BAC clones were screened with locus-specific primers in polymerase chain reactions (PCRs). Fifty-six BAC clones were subjected to FingerPrinted Contig (FPC) analysis and several overlapping clones were identified. One BAC clone RP81-231-G24 has been sequenced. Preliminary sequence analysis of this 150 kb clone indicates that it contains the region where the class I and class III regions are joined and encompasses DLA-12a, DLA-53, DLA-12, DLA-64, TNF-alpha, and a canine gene that appears to resemble the HLA class III gene HSPA1A (HSP70-1). 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The ovine Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) harbors genes involved in overall resistance/susceptibility of the host to infectious diseases. Compared to human and mouse, the ovine MHC is interrupted by a large piece of autosome insertion via a hypothetical chromosome inversion that constitutes ~25% of the ovine chromosome 20. The evolutionary consequence of such an inversion and an insertion (inversion/insertion) in relation to MHC function remains unknown. We previously constructed a BAC clone physical map for the ovine MHC exclusive of the insertion region. Here we report the construction of a high-density physical map covering the autosome insertion in order to address the question of what the inversion/insertion had to do with ruminants during the MHC evolution. RESULTS: A total of 119 pairs of comparative bovine oligo primers were utilized to screen an ovine BAC library for positive clones and the orders and overlapping relationships of the identified clones were determined by the DNA fingerprinting, BAC-end sequencing, and the sequence-specific PCR. A total of 368 positive BAC clones were identified and 108 of the effective clones were ordered into an overlapping BAC contig to cover the consensus region between ovine MHC class IIa and IIb. Therefore, a continuous physical map covering the entire ovine autosome inversion/insertion region was successfully constructed. The map confirmed the bovine sequence assembly for the same homologous region. The DNA sequences of 185 BAC-ends have been deposited into NCBI database with the access numbers HR309252 through HR309068, corresponding to dbGSS ID 30164010 through 30163826. CONCLUSIONS: We have constructed a high-density BAC clone physical map for the ovine autosome inversion/insertion between the MHC class IIa and IIb. The entire ovine MHC region is now fully covered by a continuous BAC clone contig. The physical map we generated will facilitate MHC functional studies in the ovine, as well as the comparative MHC evolution in ruminants. 相似文献

A contig map of the Mhc class I genomic region in the zebrafish reveals ancient synteny 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

In contrast to the human and mouse Mhc, in which the clusters of class I and class II loci reside in close vicinity to one another, in the zebrafish, Danio rerio, they are found in different linkage groups. Chromosome walking using BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) and PAC (P1 artificial chromosome) clones reveals the zebrafish class I region to occupy a segment of approximately 450 kb and to encompass at least 19 loci. These include three class I (Dare-UDA, -UEA, -UFA), five proteasome subunit beta (PSMB8, -9A, -9C, -11, -12), two TAPs (TAP2A, TAP2B), and one TAP binding protein (TAPBP). This arrangement contrasts with the arrangements found in human and mouse Mhc, in which the orthologues of the PSMB, TAP, and TAPBP loci reside within the class II region. In addition to this main zebrafish class I contig, a shorter contig of about 150 kb contains two additional class I (UBA, UCA) and at least five other loci. It probably represents a different haplotype of part of the class I region. The previously identified UAA gene shares an identical 5' part with UEA, but the two genes differ in their 3' parts. One of them is probably the result of an unequal crossing over. The described organization has implications for the persistence of syntenic relationships, coevolution of loci, and interpretation of the origin of the human/mouse Mhc organization. 相似文献

The feline major histocompatibility complex is rearranged by an inversion with a breakpoint in the distal class I region 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
In order to determine the genomic organization of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the domestic cat (Felis catus), DNA probes for 61 markers were designed from human MHC reference sequences and used to construct feline MHC BAC contig map spanning ARE1 in the class II region to the olfactory receptor complex in the extended class I region. Selected BAC clones were then used to identify feline-specific probes for the three regions of the mammalian MHC (class II–class III–class I) for radiation hybrid mapping and fluorescent in situ hybridization to refine the organization of the domestic cat MHC. The results not only confirmed that the p-arm of domestic cat B2 is inverted relative to human Chromosome 6, but also demonstrated that one inversion breakpoint localized to the distal segment of the MHC class I between TRIM39 and TRIM26. The inversion thus disjoined the ~2.85 Mb of MHC containing class II–class III–class I (proximal region) from the ~0.50 Mb of MHC class I/extended class I region, such that TRIM39 is adjacent to the Chromosome B2 centromere and TRIM26 is adjacent to the B2 telomere in the domestic cat.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at 相似文献

Physical and genetic mapping of the rainbow trout major histocompatibility regions: evidence for duplication of the class I region 总被引:9,自引:9,他引:0

One of the most unexpected discoveries in MHC genetics came from studies dealing with the teleost MHC. Initially discovered in zebrafish, the MHC class I and II regions of all bony fish are not linked. Previous segregation analysis in trout suggested that the class I and II regions reside on completely different chromosomes. To learn more about MHC genomics in trout, we have isolated BAC clones harboring class Ia and Ib loci, a single BAC clone containing an MH class II gene ( DAB), as well as BAC clones containing the ABCB2 gene. Upon PCR and sequence confirmation, BAC clones were labeled and used as probes for in situ hybridization on rainbow trout metaphase chromosomes for determination of the physical locations of the trout MH regions. Finally, SNPs, RFLPs, and microsatellites found within the BAC clones allowed for these regions to be assigned to specific linkage groups on the OSU x Hotcreek (HC) and OSU x Arlee (ARL) genetic linkage maps. Our data demonstrate that the trout MH regions are located on at least four different chromosomes and the corresponding linkage groups, while also providing direct evidence for the partial duplication of the MH class I region in trout. 相似文献

The class II genes of the rat MHC 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Genes that encode class II Ag from the MHC of the rat, the RT1 region, have been isolated as a series of cosmid clones. The cosmids define two clusters, each of which contains three identifiable sequences; one homologous to alpha-chain and two to beta-chain genes. Both the serologically identified rat class II Ag have been expressed in mouse L cell fibroblasts after the introduction of each alpha-chain gene along with a beta-chain gene from the same cluster. There are substantial homologies to the I region of the mouse H-2 complex in the presence, location, orientation, and expression of the six identified sequences from the rat RT1, supporting the view that the overall organization of the two gene complexes has remained conserved since the species separated. 相似文献

It has been claimed that class I MHC loci are homogenized within species by frequent events of interlocus genetic exchange (concerted evolution). Evidence for this process includes the fact that certain rat class I loci (including RT1.A) located centromeric to class II and class III are more similar to each other than to the mouse K locus (also centromeric to class II/class III). However, a phylogenetic analysis showed that the rat RT1.A locus is in fact orthologous to the mouse K1 pseudogene (also centromeric to class II/class III). Thus, two independent events of translocation of genes centromeric to class II/class III have occurred in the history of the murine rodents, at least one of which (involving the ancestor of RT1.A and K1) occurred prior to the divergence of rat and mouse. It was also found that the rat nonclassical class I gene RT.BM1 is orthologous to the mouse nonclassical gene 37
d. These results argue that intelocus genetic exchange does not occur at a rate sufficient to cause within-species homogenization of class I MHC loci. 相似文献

Human chromosome 11q23.2 has been proposed to contain a tumor suppressor gene(s) whose deletion has been associated with cancer of the lung and breast and with neuroblastoma. To analyze the genomic structure and to isolate a candidate tumor suppressor gene from this region, we constructed a 2-Mb sequence-ready contig map using bacteriophage P1 (P1), bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), and P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC). The map comprises a contig of 24 overlapping P1, BAC, and PAC clones. To isolate gene fragments from the region, we performed direct cDNA library screening, exon trapping, EST mapping, and genomic sequencing using the P1, BAC, and PAC clones. Sequence analysis of 5 clones, which spans 23% (458,738 bp) of the region, and extensive gene scanning along the entire region revealed that the region is extraordinarily scarce in genes, but we identified one ubiquitously expressed novel gene and one testis-specific gene fragment. The novel gene, which we call IGSF4 (immunoglobulin superfamily 4), is transcribed into a 1.6- or 4.4-kb RNA encoding a 442-amino-acid protein. It shares strong homology with mouse IGSF-B12 and cell adhesion molecules NCAM1 and NCAM2 within their Ig-like C2-type domains. The IGSF4 gene, a novel gene that is shown to be located in the common loss of heterozygosity region, possesses a number of interesting features and may be good candidate for a tumor suppressor gene. 相似文献

Chromosome 9q34 has been extensively studied and mapped due to the presence of known disease genes, principally tuberous sclerosis 1 (TSC1), in this region. During the course of our mapping of this region we constructed a 555-kb contig beginning approximately 50 kb proximal to the dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) gene and extending, with one small deletion, distal to the D9S114 marker. The contig consists of 11 P1 clones, four PAC clones, one BAC clone and six cosmid clones and contains 27 new nonpolymorphic STSs. We have found the region to be unstable in P1, PAC and BAC cloning vehicles and have identified several deleted genomic clones. In addition, we have isolated and mapped the 3' portions of three putative genes located within or immediately distal to the DBH gene, including one large gene that runs on the opposite strand to DBH and utilizes portions of two DBH exons. The genomic clones of the contig, cDNAs and new STSs will be useful reagents for the further study and mapping of this region. 相似文献

The construction of a cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis, Mafa) BAC library for genomic comparison between rhesus and cynomolgus macaques is necessary to promote the cynomolgus macaque as one of the important experimental animals for future medical and biological research. In this paper, we constructed a cynomolgus macaque BAC library and a map of the MHC (Mafa) genomic region for comparison of the genomic organization and nucleotide similarities between the human, the chimpanzee, and the rhesus macaque. The BAC library consists of 221,184 clones with an average insert size of 83 kb, providing a sixfold coverage of the haploid genome. A total of 114 BAC clones and 54 PCR primer sets were used to construct a 4.3-Mb contig of the MHC region. Diversity analysis of genomic sequence from selected subregions of the MHC revealed that the cynomolgus sequence varied compared to rhesus macaque, human, and chimpanzee sequences by 0.48, 4.15, and 4.10%, respectively. From these findings, we conclude that the BAC library and Mafa genomic map are useful tools for genome analysis and will have important applications for comparative genomics and identifying regions of consequence in medical research. 相似文献
