灵长类主要组织相容性复合体Ⅰ类基因进化概述 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)是和免疫反应直接相关的基因群。MHC I类分子的多态性和病原体的多变性相对应,它是个体在重大传染疾病中存活下来的重要依据。在灵长类动物进化过程中,由于分化时间的差异和生存压力的不同,造成了各物种MHC I类基因不同的存在状态,使它们的MHC I 类基因在基因数量和基因功能上有所差异,同时还产生了物种特异性基因。本文描述了灵长类MHC I类基因的总体变化特征,并着重讨论了6个典型MHC I 类基因在各典型灵长类物种中的特点及关联性。 相似文献

主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)是有颌脊椎动物中发现的编码免疫球蛋白受体的高度多态的基因群,因其在免疫系统中的重要作用而备受关注。脊椎动物不同支系间MHC的结构和演化差异较大。尽管MHC基因特征在哺乳类、鸟类、两栖类和鱼类中已被较好地描述,但对爬行动物MHC的了解仍较少。鉴于爬行动物对于理解MHC基因的演化占据很重要的系统发育位置,研究其MHC具有重要意义。本文就近年来爬行动物MHC的分子结构、多态性维持机制、功能和主要应用的研究现状进行了系统地回顾和总结,并展望了其研究前景。 相似文献

Potential links between fish life history traits, an immune investment as measured by variability of the MHC genes and parasitism
were analysed in 14 species of cyprinid fish. The hypothesis of the diversity of MHC genes being driven by high parasite diversity,
i.e. species richness, was tested and a potential relationship between the MHC diversity and fish life-history traits including
adult mortality rate, fecundity, longevity and maturity was investigated. Molecular techniques (SSCP and sequencing) were
applied to analyse the MHC nucleotide diversity of the exons 2 and 3 of DAB genes belonging to the MHC class IIB. The comparative analyses, using phylogenetic independent contrasts, revealed a negative
relationship between parasite species richness and adult fish mortality rate. We also found a positive relationship between
nucleotide diversity of the exon 2 and parasite species richness. Our results suggest that fish species, of which populations
are exposed to high parasite pressure, in terms of high parasite species richness, maintain a high genetic diversity of the
exon 2 of the MHC genes (presenting the peptide binding regions), allowing them to decrease their natural mortality rate. 相似文献

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the most diverse regions of the mammalian genome. Diversity in MHC genes is integral to their function in the immune system, and while pathogens play a key role in shaping this diversity, the contribution of other selective forces remains unclear. The controlled breeding of cattle offers an excellent model for the identification and exploration of these forces. We characterized the MHC class I genes present in a sample of Canadian Holstein A.I. bulls and compared the results with those obtained in an earlier study. No evidence for a reduction in MHC diversity over 20 years was observed, but the relative frequency of some haplotypes had changed: the formerly rare A12 (w12B) haplotype had become the most common, together with A15, while A19, which dominated the earlier sample, had significantly reduced in frequency. Only 7% of bulls in the current study were MHC homozygous compared with the 14% expected under Hardy-Weinberg. To identify the selective forces at work, a gene substitution model was used to calculate the effects of MHC on selection traits using estimated breeding values for each bull. Significant associations between MHC and production, disease and fertility traits were identified, suggesting that MHC diversity is not merely shaped by disease in this controlled breeding system. The decrease in a common haplotype, the reduced number of homozygous bulls and the associations with disease and production traits together indicate that MHC diversity in dairy cattle is maintained by heterozygote advantage. 相似文献

The physical alignment of the entire region of the pig major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has been almost completed. In swine, the MHC is called the SLA (swine leukocyte antigen) and most of its class I region has been sequenced. Over one hundred genes have been characterised, including the classical class I and class I-related genes, as well as the class II gene families. These results in swine provide new evidence for the striking conservation during the evolution of a general MHC framework, and are consistent with the location of the class I genes on segments referred to as permissive places within the MHC class I region. Recent results confirm the involvement of the SLA region in numerous quantitative traits. 相似文献

Background
Females can potentially assess the quality of potential mates using their secondary sexual traits, and obtain "good genes" that increase offspring fitness. Another potential indirect benefit from mating preferences is genetic compatibility, which does not require extravagant or viability indicator traits. Several studies with mammals and fish indicate that the genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) influence olfactory cues and mating preferences, and such preferences confer genetic benefits to offspring. We investigated whether individual MHC diversity (class I) influences mating preferences in house sparrows (Passer domesticus). 相似文献16.
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) related cDNA probes associated with antibody response in meat-type chickens 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region was examined as a set of candidate genes for association between DNA markers and antibody response. Intercross F2 families of chickens were generated from a cross between high (HC) and low (LC) Escherichia coli i antibody lines. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was conducted by using three MHC-related cDNA probes: chicken MHC class IV ( B-G ), chicken MHC class I ( B-F ), and human MHC-linked Tap2 . Association between RFLP bands and three antibody response traits ( E. coli , sheep red blood cells and Newcastle disease virus) were determined by two methods: by statistically analyzing each band separately and also by analyzing all bands obtained from the three probes by using multiple regression analysis to account for the multiple comparisons. The MHC class IV probe was the highest in polymorphisms but had the lowest number of bands associated with antibody response. The MHC class I probe yielded 15 polymorphic bands of which four exhibited association with antibody response traits. The Tap2 probe yielded 20 different RFLP bands of which five were associated with antibody production. Some Tap2 bands were associated with multiple antibody response traits. The multiband analysis of the three probes' bands revealed more significant effects than the analysis of each band separately. This study illustrates the efficacy of using multiple MHC region probes as candidate markers for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling antibody response in chickens. 相似文献

To survive, individuals must be able to recognize and eliminate pathogens. The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play an essential role in this process in vertebrates as their diversity affects the repertoire of pathogens that can be recognized by the immune system. Emerging evidence suggests that birds within the parvorder Passerida possess an exceptionally high number of MHC genes. However, this has yet to be directly investigated using a consistent framework, and the question of how this MHC diversity has evolved has not been addressed. We used next‐generation sequencing to investigate how MHC class I gene copy number and sequence diversity varies across the Passerida radiation using twelve species chosen to represent the phylogenetic range of this group. Additionally, we performed phylogenetic analyses on this data to identify, for the first time, the evolutionary model that best describes how MHC class I gene diversity has evolved within Passerida. We found evidence of multiple MHC class I genes in every family tested, with an extremely broad range in gene copy number across Passerida. There was a strong phylogenetic signal in MHC gene copy number and diversity, and these traits appear to have evolved through a process of Brownian motion in the species studied, that is following the pattern of genetic drift or fluctuating selection, as opposed to towards a single optimal value or through evolutionary ‘bursts’. By characterizing MHC class I gene diversity across Passerida in a systematic framework, this study provides a first step towards understanding this huge variation. 相似文献

The unprecedented polymorphism in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes is thought to be maintained by balancing selection from parasites. However, do parasites also drive divergence at MHC loci between host populations, or do the effects of balancing selection maintain similarities among populations? We examined MHC variation in populations of the livebearing fish Poecilia mexicana and characterized their parasite communities. Poecilia mexicana populations in the Cueva del Azufre system are locally adapted to darkness and the presence of toxic hydrogen sulphide, representing highly divergent ecotypes or incipient species. Parasite communities differed significantly across populations, and populations with higher parasite loads had higher levels of diversity at class II MHC genes. However, despite different parasite communities, marked divergence in adaptive traits and in neutral genetic markers, we found MHC alleles to be remarkably similar among host populations. Our findings indicate that balancing selection from parasites maintains immunogenetic diversity of hosts, but this process does not promote MHC divergence in this system. On the contrary, we suggest that balancing selection on immunogenetic loci may outweigh divergent selection causing divergence, thereby hindering host divergence and speciation. Our findings support the hypothesis that balancing selection maintains MHC similarities among lineages during and after speciation (trans‐species evolution). 相似文献
