Restriction endonuclease cleavage site map of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) chloroplast DNA

Summary The restriction endonucleases SalI, PstI, KpnI and HindIII have been used to construct a physical map of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) chloroplast DNA. This was accomplished by hybridizing Southern blots of single and double digested chloroplast DNA with ³²P-dCTP nick-translated SalI, KpnI and HindIII probes which were individually isolated from agarose gels. The chloroplast DNA was found to be circular and to contain approximately 151 kbp. In common with many other higher plant chloroplast DNAs a sequence of about 25 kbp is repeated in an inverted orientation. The small and large single copy regions separating the two repeated segments contain about 20 kbp and 81 kbp, respectively. The rRNA structural genes were also mapped by Southern blot hybridization and are co-linear with several other plant species.

本研究旨在应用CRISPR/Cas13b系统对TNNT2R141W转基因扩张型心肌病（dilated cardiomyopathy,DCM）小鼠（DCM小鼠）进行探索性治疗,尝试发现治疗扩张型心肌病的一种新方式,为CRISPR/Cas13b系统在体内应用提供实验基础。随机设计11种Cas13b-TNNT2 gRNA并成功构建表达质粒,把它和人源TNNT2过表达质粒共同转染到293T细胞中,通过实时定量PCR（quantitative real-time PCR,Q-PCR）检测人源TNNT2 mRNA的表达水平。结果显示,gRNA 2引导Cas13b敲低目标基因的效率最高,达到80%（P<0.0001）。把gRNA2表达质粒包装到慢病毒载体中转导出生后1天的DCM小鼠原代心肌细胞,Q-PCR检测结果表明CRISPR/Cas13b系统对人源TNNT2 mRNA的敲低效率达到55%（P<0.01）。把PspCas13b和gRNA2的表达载体分别包装到AAV9病毒载体中,然后将200 μL 约1×1012 AAV9病毒颗粒通过尾静脉注射到4月龄DCM小鼠体内,待注射小鼠发育至5月龄时,Q-PCR检测结果显示,AAV9+DCM组TNNT2R141W表达水平较未注射组对照明显下降至40%（P<0.01）。对5月龄野生型（WT）、DCM（未注射病毒组）和AAV9+DCM（基因组编辑工具注射组）三组小鼠的心脏形态、心功能、心肌纤维化和心力衰竭等表型的观察结合显示：DCM小鼠的心脏形态异常,而AAV9+DCM小鼠心脏形态趋于正常;对三组小鼠的心脏进行超声心动图并对心功能指标进行统计发现,DCM组较WT组小鼠的左心室射血分数（left ventricular percent ejection fraction,LV EF%）、左心室短轴缩短率（left ventricular percent fractional shortening,LV FS%）分别下降了50.4%（P<0.0001）,55.1%（P<0.0001）,而AAV9+DCM组较DCM组小鼠的LV EF%、LV FS%分别上升了66.5%（P<0.01）,77.0%（P<0.01）;通过Q-PCR和天狼星红染色检测三组小鼠的心脏纤维化程度,结果显示DCM组较WT组小鼠的Col3a1和Postn两种纤维化基因,分别高表达5.2倍（P<0.001）、4.5倍（P<0.01）,而AAV9+DCM组较DCM组小鼠两种基因表达分别下降了2.0倍（P<0.05）、1.4倍（NS）,天狼星红染色结果显示纤维化区域明显下降;通过Q-PCR和蛋白质免疫印迹分别检测三组小鼠的心脏心力衰竭基因Nppb mRNA和Nppa蛋白质的表达水平,结果表明DCM组较WT组小鼠Nppb mRNA表达上升14.2倍（P<0.01）,而AAV9+DCM组较DCM组小鼠Nppb mRNA表达明显下降下降2.8倍（P<0.05）,Nppa蛋白质表达趋势与Nppb相同。把gRNA 5和含有R141W突变（gRNA 5T）和正常的TNNT2 mRNA（gRNA 5V）序列分别组合转染到293T细胞中,通过Q-PCR检测两种序列mRNA的表达水平。结果显示,gRNA 5T序列表达效率为30%（P<0.0001）,而并未检测到gRNA 5V mRNA的敲低。本研究通过设计靶向TNNT2R141W mRNA的gRNA,特异性敲低TNNT2R141W转基因小鼠体内突变的mRNA,有效改善了转基因小鼠的心功能,为临床进一步探索扩张型心肌病的治疗奠定了实验室基础。     

Common physical map of four Brucella bacteriophage genomes

Abstract DNAs isolated from four strains of Brucella bacteriophages were studied by restriction endonuclease mapping and Southern blot analysis. In all strains the genome was composed of a 38 kb (25.1 × 10⁶ dalton) double-stranded circular DNA. The physical map was the same for the four genomes and Southern blot hybridization of restriction endonuclease fragments with the Tbilissi strain DNA as a probe showed complete homology between the four DNAs. Thus, the four phage strains appear to be identical, the specific host range of each originating from minor changes in phage or Brucella receptors or both.

Restriction site map of the Chlorella virus PBCV-1 genome

The virus PBCV-1, which replicates in a Chlorella-like green alga, has a dsDNA genome. The DNA was mapped for BamHI, HindIII, and PstI restriction sites. The resulting map has a size of 333 kbp and is circular—indicating either covalently closed circular DNA or circularly permuted linear DNA. Several regions of repetitive DNA were also identified and located on the restriction map.

A plasmid carrying the complete genome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) inserted into the BamHI site of the pBR322 plasmid vector has been constructed. The physical map of HBV DNA established for 13 restriction endonucleases allows to conclude that the cloned DNA is similar, but not identical to the HBV DNA of ayw subtype.     

Rice chloroplast DNA: a physical map and the location of the genes for the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and the 32 KD photosystem II reaction center protein

Summary By homogenizing rice leaves in liquid nitrogen, it was possible to isolate intact chloroplasts and, subsequently, pure rice chloroplast DNA from the purified chloroplasts. The DNA was digested by several restriction enzymes and fragments were fractionated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The sum of the fragment sizes generated by the restriction enzymes showed that the total length of the DNA is 130 kb. A circular physical map of fragments, generated by digestion with SalI, PstI, and PvuII, has been constructed. The circular DNA contains two inverted repeats of about 20 kb separated by a large, single copy region of about 75 kb and a short, single copy region of about 15 kb. The location of the gene for the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Fraction I protein) and the 32 KD photosystem II reaction center gene were determined by using as probes tobacco chloroplast DNAs containing these genes. Rice chloroplast DNA differs from chloroplast DNAs of wheat and corn as well as from dicot chloroplast DNAs by having the 32 KD gene located 20 kb removed from the end of an inverted repeat instead of close to the end, as in other plants.     

大尺蠖核多角体病毒DNA的限制性消化和物理图谱

Chloroplast DNA differences between cultivated hop,Humulus lupulus and the related species H. japonicus

Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of Humulus Lupulus and H. japonicus was examined by restriction endonuclease analysis with BamHI, BanI, BclI, BstEII, DraI, EcoRI, EcoRV, HindIII, KpnI, PaeR7I, PstI, PvuII, SalI and XhoI. The restriction fragment patterns showed that the cpDNAs shared a large number of restriction sites. However, the chloroplast genomes of the two species could be distinguished by differences in restriction site and restriction fragment patterns in the PstI, PvuII, BclI, EcoRV, DraI and HindIII digests. On the basis of the complexity of restriction enzyme patterns, the enzymes PstI, PvuII, SalI, KpnI and XhoI were selected for mapping the chloroplast genomes. Single and double restriction enzyme digests of cpDNA from the two species were hybridized to cpDNA probes of barley and tobacco. The data obtained from molecular hybridization experiments were used to construct the cleavage site maps. Except for the PstI digest, the arrangement of cpDNA restriction sites was found to be the same for both species. An extra PstI site was present in H. lupulus. Three small insertions/deletions of about 0.8 kbp each were detected in the chloroplast genomes of the two species. Two of these insertions/deletions were present in the large and one in the small singlecopy region of the chloroplast genome. The cpDNA of Humulus was found to be a circular molecule of approximately 148 kbp that contains two inverted repeat regions of 23 kbp each, a small and a large single -copy region of approximately 20 kbp and 81 kbp, respectively. The chloroplast genome of hop has the same physical and structural organization as that found in most angiosperms.     

Restriction fragment length polymorphism and allozyme linkage map of Cuphea lanceolata

Summary Cuphea lanceolata Ait. has had a significant role in the domestication of Cuphea and is a useful experimental organism for investigating how medium-chain lipids are synthesized in developing seeds. To expand the genetics of this species, a linkage map of the C. lanceolata genome was constructed using five allozyme and 32 restriction-fragment-length-polymorphism (RFLP) marker loci. These loci were assigned to six linkage groups that correspond to the six chromosomes of this species. Map length is 288 cM. Levels of polymorphism were estimated for three inbred lines of C. lanceolata and an inbred line of C. viscosissima using 84 random genomic clones and two restriction enzymes, EcoRI and HindIII. Of the probes 29% detected RFLPs between C. lanceolata and C. viscosissima lines. Crosses between these species can be exploited to expand the map.

Restriction fragment map of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) chloroplast DNA

Summary A restriction endonuclease fragment map of sugar beet chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) has been constructed with the enzymes SmaI, PstI and PvuII. The ctDNA was found to be contained in a circular molecule of 148.5 kbp. In common with many other higher plant ctDNAs, sugar beet ctDNA consists of two inverted repeat sequences of about 20.5 kbp separated by two single-copy regions of different sizes (about 23.2 and 84.3 kbp). Southern hybridization analyses indicated that the genes for rRNAs (23S+16S) and the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase were located in the inverted repeats and the large single-copy regions, respectively.

Restriction pattern analysis of genomic DNA ofFrankia isolates

Summary Total genomic DNAs ofFrankia isolates were subjected to restriction enzyme digestion and subsequent agarose gel electrophoresis. Restriction fragment banding patterns were unique for each isolate and may therefore be used as a method to distinguish between isolates which may be morphologically indistinguishable. This method might be useful for practical purposes such as tracing specificFrankia strains during field studies.     

Restriction site patterns in the ribosomal DNA of Camelidae

The restriction map of rDNA from South American camelids and the Bactrian camel was analyzed by digestion of high-molecular-weight DNA with endonucleases EcoRI, BamHI and the two combined followed by Southern blot hybridization with probes for the 18S and 28S rDNA sequences. We scored a total of 17 restriction sites, six of which were mapped conserved in all the species. The other eleven corresponded to spacer regions and revealed variations between these taxa. The study showed that the two groups differ in the length of the internal transcribed spacer. Also they showed the existence of two regions of fast evolution on the opposite termini of the external spacer. A restriction site present at low frequency in the non-transcribed spacer of guanaco and llama was the only difference encountered within the South American group.
