Prediction of human mRNA donor and acceptor sites from the DNA sequence 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40
Artificial neural networks have been applied to the prediction of splice site location in human pre-mRNA. A joint prediction scheme where prediction of transition regions between introns and exons regulates a cutoff level for splice site assignment was able to predict splice site locations with confidence levels far better than previously reported in the literature. The problem of predicting donor and acceptor sites in human genes is hampered by the presence of numerous amounts of false positives: here, the distribution of these false splice sites is examined and linked to a possible scenario for the splicing mechanism in vivo. When the presented method detects 95% of the true donor and acceptor sites, it makes less than 0.1% false donor site assignments and less than 0.4% false acceptor site assignments. For the large data set used in this study, this means that on average there are one and a half false donor sites per true donor site and six false acceptor sites per true acceptor site. With the joint assignment method, more than a fifth of the true donor sites and around one fourth of the true acceptor sites could be detected without accompaniment of any false positive predictions. Highly confident splice sites could not be isolated with a widely used weight matrix method or by separate splice site networks. A complementary relation between the confidence levels of the coding/non-coding and the separate splice site networks was observed, with many weak splice sites having sharp transitions in the coding/non-coding signal and many stronger splice sites having more ill-defined transitions between coding and non-coding. 相似文献

Tn10 and IS10 transpose by a nonreplicative mechanism in which the transposon is excised from the donor molecule and integrated into a target DNA site, leaving behind a break at the original donor site. The fate of this broken donor DNA molecule is not known. We describe here two experiments that address this issue. One experiment demonstrates that a polar IS10 element gives rise to polarity-relief revertants at less than 1% the frequency of transposition of the same element in the same culture. In a second experiment, transpositions of an IS10 element from one site in the bacterial genome to another are selected and the resulting isolates examined for alterations at the donor site; none of 1088 such isolates exhibited a detectable change at the donor locus. These results are compatible with two possible fates of the transposon donor molecule: degradation (``donor suicide'), or restoration of the original information at the donor site by a recombinational repair mechanism analogous to double-strand break repair. These results argue against the possibility that the donor molecule gap is simply resealed by intramolecular rejoining. 相似文献

The cosmetic split-thickness skin graft donor site 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Hallock GG 《Plastic and reconstructive surgery》1999,104(7):2286-2288
Any split-thickness skin graft donor site is obvious to some degree because of pigment alterations and, at the worst, it can develop hypertrophic scarring. A predictably superior aesthetic result is possible if this site is converted to a full-thickness defect followed by primary closure, because a linear scar is the only residuum. Using a modified tumescent technique, the groin can also be readily used as a split-thickness donor site if a thin graft is preferred; it captures the attributes of an ideal donor site in which pain is diminished, healing rapid, and the scar inconspicuous, just as when it is used as a full-thickness skin graft donor site. 相似文献

选择性剪切是调解基因表达的重要机制.识别选择性剪切位点是后基因组时代的一个重要工作.本文从最新的EBI人类基因选择性剪切数据库中,选取5'/3'选择性剪切位点作为正集,选取在剪切位点附近的假剪切位点作为负集,并把所有的选择性剪切位点和假剪切位点随机分成训练集和测试集.本文选用的预测选择性剪切位点的方法是基于位置权重矩阵和离散增量的支持向量机方法.此方法仅基于训练集,以不同位点的单碱基概率和序列片断的三联体频数作为信息参数,利用位置权重矩阵和离散增量算法结合支持向量机,得到了选择性供体位点和受体位点的分类器,并用此分类器对测试集中的选择性供体位点和受体位点进行预测.对独立测试集中的选择性供体位点和选择性受体位点的预测成功率分别为88.74%和90.86%,特异性分别为85.62%和81.19%.本文预测选择性剪切位点的方法成功率高于其它选择性剪切位点预测方法预测成功率,此预测方法进一步提高了对选择性剪切位点的理论预测能力. 相似文献

It is extremely important that a donor graft site be selected with attention to the type of graft needed as well as the specific patient's needs and lifestyle. While it is inevitable that any donor site heals with altered pigmentation and texture, we feel that by using a combination of several time-honored techniques in this well-concealed donor site, we have achieved long-term aesthetic results of the transfer of skin grafts from a hair-bearing area. 相似文献

The foot offers numerous useful options for hand reconstruction. Hallux transfer, dorsalis pedis flap, second toe transfers, and toe joint transfers offer good functional results in reconstructed hands. However, when the donor site is repaired with skin grafts, delayed wound healing, scarring, and contractures often result. Poor cosmesis of the donor site and altered gait are the main drawbacks of the procedures. The authors propose a new concept of primary reconstruction of the donor foot using a reverse-flow anterior tibial flap from the same leg. Two flaps are raised from the same anterior tibial vessel system in continuity as a distal free flap for hand reconstruction and as a proximal reverse-flow pedicled flap to resurface the donor defect. This technique allows good flap reconstruction of the foot donor site, reducing morbidity and limiting the operation to the same limb. The authors report their experience of 33 cases. There were no failures. Primary wound healing was achieved in the foot donor site, with acceptable cosmesis and satisfactory function. 相似文献

The transfer reaction with pA-fMet as a donor substrate is strongly stimulated by CMP, whereas the transfer reaction with CpApCpCpA-acLeu as a donor substrate is inhibited by CMP. These results indicate that the donor site of peptidyl transferase contains specific binding sites for the terminal adenosine and for the cytidylic acid residue in the terminal sequence CpCpA of tRNA and that an attachment of proper nucleotides to the donor site induces a conformational change in peptidyl transferase. 相似文献

Homologous recombination stimulated by a double-strand break at a desired target site offers a method to achieve site-specific integration useful for gene therapy and other genetic engineering. To test parameters needed for this strategy, we developed an Epstein-Barr virus shuttle vector model system as a genetic tool. This extrachromosomal plasmid assay system has several advantages over a chromosomal assay. The system detects all classes of recombination events without selection and allows rapid analysis of the frequency and nature of recombination events. We found that a double-strand break at the target site stimulated a large increase in recombination frequency. The resulting recombinants included one-sided insertion events, as well as two-sided or gene conversion events. A circular donor substrate was more effective in recombination than linearized donor DNA. 相似文献

A method of reconstructing the breast mound after mastectomy using a superiorly based thoracoepigastric pedicle is presented. The advantages of the method are its relative simplicity and its definition of the inframammary fold. It often obviates the need for inflatable expanders. The prime disadvantage is the scar left on the abdominal donor site. 相似文献

A new method which predicts internal exon sequences in human DNA has been developed. The method is based on a splice site prediction algorithm that uses the linear discriminant function to combine information about significant triplet frequencies of various functional parts of splice site regions and preferences of oligonucleotides in protein coding and intron regions. The accuracy of our splice site recognition function is 97% for donor splice sites and 96% for acceptor splice sites. For exon prediction, we combine in a discriminant function the characteristics describing the 5'-intron region, donor splice site, coding region, acceptor splice site and 3'-intron region for each open reading frame flanked by GT and AG base pairs. The accuracy of precise internal exon recognition on a test set of 451 exon and 246693 pseudoexon sequences is 77% with a specificity of 79%. The recognition quality computed at the level of individual nucleotides is 89% for exon sequences and 98% for intron sequences. This corresponds to a correlation coefficient for exon prediction of 0.87. The precision of this approach is better than other methods and has been tested on a larger data set. We have also developed a means for predicting exon-exon junctions in cDNA sequences, which can be useful for selecting optimal PCR primers. 相似文献

Re-creating Semi-natural Communities: Vacuum Harvesting and Hand Collection of Seed on Calcareous Grassland 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Agricultural set-aside and compensation land provide restoration ecologists with opportunities to re-create semi-natural habitats. Restoration sites often have high soil fertility and inadequate seed banks of desirable species. Sowing additional seed is a proven method for establishing chalk grassland vegetation. If seed of local provenance is required, it may be collected by hand or by using specialized machines. Ultimately, the mix collected must provide seed suitable for recreating vegetation similar to that of the donor site. We examine the ability of a vacuum machine to meet this requirement by comparison with hand collection, and we discuss possible effects on invertebrates. Microscope analysis and glasshouse and field trials were used to compare the abundance of seed of different species in harvested mixes with the vegetation composition of the donor site. Seed heads of individual species were examined to determine the number of viable seeds per head and attack rates by phytophagous insects. The mix contained seed of over half the species recorded on the donor site. The seed of taller, more common species was overrepresented in the mix, at the expense of some smaller, mat-forming plants. After one season, however, the vegetation of the field trial plots was of the same type as that of the donor site, although the proportions of the constituent species differed slightly and certain species were absent. Mechanical collection is more efficient than hand collection. Endophagous invertebrates are unlikely to be affected by the machine. Seed collection requires a combination of methods, precise timing, and careful planning to provide a full range of species and to minimize impacts on plant and invertebrate populations. 相似文献

The molecular mechanism of action of the alkaloid lycorine has been revised. According to our results, lycorine inhibits the binding of CACCA-Leu←Ac to the donor site of the peptidyltranferase center of wheat-germ ribosomes, whereas the transpeptidation reaction in the system with the minimal model donor is not inhibited. The equilibrium constant of CACCA-Leu←Ac to the donor site of 80 S ribosomes is measured. 相似文献

Inflammatory responses mediated by macrophages play a role in tissue repair. However, it is unclear whether the repair in the donor site after liposuction would have any effects on fat graft retention in the recipient site. This study is designed to evaluate the effects of a macrophage-mediated inflammatory response in donor sites on long-term retention of fat grafting. In this study, mice were randomly divided into two groups. One underwent simulated liposuction, called the fat procurement plus grafting (Pro-Grafting) group, and the other underwent sham surgery, called the fat grafting only (Grafting Only) group. The prepared fat (0.3 ml each) was engrafted and cellular events over a 90-day period were assessed. We found macrophages were infiltrated into adipose tissue at the recipient site in the Grafting Only group within 7 days and the repair essentially completed within 30 days. By contrast, few macrophages infiltrated the recipient site in the Pro-Grafting group within 7 days and the entire remodeling process took 30 days longer in the Pro-Grafting than the Grafting Only group. Moreover, C-reactive protein levels were immediately upregulated after surgery, and the inflammatory factors' expression was higher at the donor rather than the recipient site. However, the repair processes and the long-term retention rate became normal when the adipose tissue was grafted after the donor site did not require macrophages for repair. Therefore, we suggest higher inflammatory factors promote macrophage infiltration and the adipose tissue regeneration process at the donor site. This process is delayed at the recipient site, which may affect long-term retention of fat grafts. 相似文献
