The effect of chromosome condensation on the frequency of expression of the fragile X chromosome was examined. Chromosome decondensation substances were tested for their ability to elicit expression or improve frequencies of expression of the fragile X chromosome in five patients. The substances tested included the AT specific DNA ligands ethidium bromide, Hoechst 33258, and netropsin, and the GC specific substances actinomycin D and olivomycin. Under culture conditions appropriate for eliciting fragile X expression none of the decondensation compounds studied significantly altered frequencies of expression, nor did any of the substances elicit fragile X expression under conditions that normally suppress fragile X expression. The fragile X was found to be more frequently evident in less condensed chromosome preparations from fibroblasts. The implications of these findings with respect to the nature of fragile sites are discussed. 相似文献

Comparative genomics is an important and expanding field of research, and the genome-wide comparison of the chromosome constitution of different species makes a major contribution to this field. Cross-species chromosome painting is a powerful technique for establishing chromosome homology maps, defining the sites of chromosome fusions and fissions, investigating chromosome rearrangements during evolution and constructing ancestral karyotypes. Here the protocol for cross-species chromosome painting is presented. It includes sections on cell culture and metaphase preparation, labeling of chromosome-specific DNA, fluorescent in situ hybridization (chromosome painting) and image analysis. Cell culture and metaphase preparation can take between 1 and 2 wk depending on the cell culture. Labeling of chromosome-specific DNA is completed in 1 d. Fluorescent in situ hybridization can be completed in a maximum of 4 d. 相似文献

The effect of 125I-decay on cell lethality, and induction of chromosome and DNA damage, was studied in synchronous non-cycling, G1-phase CHO-cells. For this purpose a population of mitotic cells was allowed to divide and progress through S-phase in the presence of 125IdUrd. Cells were subsequently transferred to conditioned medium (C-med) obtained from plateau-phase cultures that allowed cells to divide and accumulate in G1-phase in a non-cycling state. To accumulate 125I-induced damage, cells were kept frozen at -80 degrees C. Freezing was carried out using a new method that optimally preserves cell integrity. After various times of cold storage, cells were thawed and assayed for survival, DNA and chromosome damage, either immediately or after various times in C-med. Neutral filter elution was used to assay repair of DNA double-strand breaks (dsbs), and premature chromosome condensation was used to assay repair of chromosome fragments and induction of ring chromosomes. The results indicate very little repair at the cell survival level (repair of PLD). At the DNA level an efficient repair of DNA dsbs was observed, with kinetics similar to those observed after exposure to X-rays. At the chromosome level a fast repair of prematurely condensed chromosome fragment was observed, with a concomitant increase in the number of ring chromosomes induced. The repair kinetics of chromosome fragments and DNA dsbs were very similar, suggesting that DNA dsbs may underlie chromosome fragmentation. 相似文献

Similarities in chromosome banding patterns and hornologies in DNA sequence between chromosomes of the great apes and humans
have suggested that human chromosome 2 originated through the fusion of two ancestral ape chromosomes. A lot of work has been
directed at understanding the nature and mechanism of this fusion. The recent availability of the human chrornosome-2-specific
alpha satellite DNA probe D2Z and the human chromosome-2p-specific subtelomeric DNA probe D2S445 prompted us to attempt cross-hybridization
with chromosomes of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) to search for equivalent locations in the great apes and to comment on the origin of human chromosome 2. The probes gave
different results. No hybridization to the chromosome-2-specific alpha satellite DNA probe was observed on the presumed homologous
great ape chromosomes using both high-stringency and low-stringency post-hybridization washes, whereas the subtelomeric-DNA
probe specific for chromosome 2p hybridized to telomeric sites of the short arm of chromosome 12 of all three great apes.
These observations suggest an evolutionary difference in the number of alpha satellite DNA repeat units in the equivalent
ape chromosomes presumably involved in the chromosome fusion. Nevertheless, complete conservation of DNA sequence of the subtelomeric
repeat sequence D2S445 in the ape chromosomes is demonstrated. 相似文献

Flow sorting maize chromosome 1 and construction of the first chromosome 1 DNA Lambda library are described. Maize metaphase chromosome suspensions were prepared from synchronized seedling root tip cells of the maize hybrid line Seneca 60 and stained with propidium iodide for flow karyotyping and sorting. The observed flow karyotype was very similar to the predicted flow karyotype constructed based on published values for the relative chromosome sizes of Seneca 60. The estimated size of chromosomes from the peak for the chromosome 1 matched the expected size of maize chromosome 1. The peak for the chromosome 1 was well resolved from other peaks on the flow karyotype. An average of 7 x 10(3) chromosomes of chromosome 1 could be produced from 10 root tips. About 0.6 million chromosomes of maize chromosome 1 were sorted and pooled based on the cytogram of fluorescent pulse area Vs fluorescent pulse width and stored at -20 degrees C in the freezer. DNA isolated from sorted chromosomes was good quality of more than 100 kb in size. Chromosome 1 DNA was partially digested with BamHI, dephosphorylated and ligated with arms of BamHI digested Lambda Dash vector. A total of 1.2 x 10(5) independent recombinants with the average insert size 12.6 kb was obtained. This library covered approximately 90% of maize chromosome 1. Hybridization of cloned fragments with labeled maize genomic DNA showed that the high, middle, or low copy number DNA sequences presented in the different phage clones. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) using chromosome-specific primers confirmed the specificity of this library. The individual chromosome library is useful in plant genome mapping and gene isolation. 相似文献

Human chromosome 6 has been subdivided by chromosome microdissection into 14 unique regions. Following microdissection, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of dissected DNA was performed using a universal primer to generate subregion-specific probes that provided complete coverage of chromosome 6. All 16 microdissections have been regionally assigned along chromosome 6 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using biotin-labeled dissected DNA hybridized to G-banded normal metaphase chromosomes. These probes can be used as region-specific paints to generate unique bar codes and for analysis of chromosome alterations involving chromosome 6 that are unidentifiable by conventional banding analysis. 相似文献

Endogenous human centromeres form on megabase-sized arrays of tandemly repeated alpha satellite DNA. Human neocentromeres
form epigenetically at ectopic sites devoid of alpha satellite DNA and permit analysis of centromeric DNA and chromatin organization.
In this study, we present molecular cytogenetic and CENP-A chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) on CHIP analyses of two neocentromeres
that have formed in chromosome band 8q21 each with a unique DNA and CENP-A chromatin configuration. The first neocentromere
was found on a neodicentric chromosome 8 with an inactivated endogenous centromere, where the centromeric activity and CENP-A
domain were repositioned to band 8q21 on a large tandemly repeated DNA. This is the first example of a neocentromere forming
on repetitive DNA, as all other mapped neocentromeres have formed on single copy DNA. Quantitative fluorescent in situ hybridization
(FISH) analysis showed a 60% reduction in the alpha satellite array size at the inactive centromere compared to the active
centromere on the normal chromosome 8. This neodicentric chromosome may provide insight into centromere inactivation and the
role of tandem DNA in centromere structure. The second neocentromere was found on a neocentric ring chromosome that contained
the 8q21 tandemly repeated DNA, although the neocentromere was localized to a different genomic region. Interestingly, this
neocentromere is composed of two distinct CENP-A domains in bands 8q21 and 8q24, which are brought into closer proximity on
the ring chromosome. This neocentromere suggests that chromosomal rearrangement and DNA breakage may be involved in neocentromere
formation. These novel examples provide insight into the formation and structure of human neocentromeres. 相似文献

Human chromosome 21-encoded cDNA clones 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

We have employed two strategies to isolate random cDNA clones encoded by chromosome 21. In the first approach, a cDNA library representing expressed genes of WA17, a mouse-human somatic cell hybrid carrying chromosome 21 as its sole human chromosome, was screened with total human DNA to identify human chromosome 21-specific cDNAs. The second approach utilized previously characterized single-copy genomic fragments from chromosome 21 as probes to retrieve homologous coding sequences from a human fetal brain cDNA library. Six cDNA clones on chromosome 21 were obtained in this manner. Two were localized to the proximal long arm of chromosome 21, two to the distal portion of the long arm, and one to the region of 21q22 implicated in the pathology of Down syndrome. 相似文献

Semi-automatic laser beam microdissection of the Y chromosome and analysis of Y chromosome DNA in a dioecious plant, Silene latifolia 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Silene latifolia has heteromorphic sex chromosomes, the X and Y chromosomes. The Y chromosome, which is thought to carry the male determining gene, was isolated by UV laser microdissection and amplified by degenerate oligonucleotide-primed PCR. In situ chromosome suppression of the amplified Y chromosome DNA in the presence of female genomic DNA as a competitor showed that the microdissected Y chromosome DNA did not specifically hybridize to the Y chromosome, but hybridized to all chromosomes. This result suggests that the Y chromosome does not contain Y chromosome-enriched repetitive sequences. A repetitive sequence in the microdissected Y chromosome, RMY1, was isolated while screening repetitive sequences in the amplified Y chromosome. Part of the nucleotide sequence shared a similarity to that of X-43.1, which was isolated from microdissected X chromosomes. Since fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis with RMY1 demonstrated that RMY1 was localized at the ends of the chromosome, RMY1 may be a subtelomeric repetitive sequence. Regarding the sex chromosomes, RMY1 was detected at both ends of the X chromosome and at one end near the pseudoautosomal region of the Y chromosome. The different localization of RMY1 on the sex chromosomes provides a clue to the problem of how the sex chromosomes arose from autosomes. 相似文献

DNA polymerase alpha and primase are two key enzymatic components of the eukaryotic DNA replication complex. In situ hybridization of cloned cDNAs for mouse DNA polymerase alpha and for the two subunits of mouse primase has been utilized to physically map these genes in the mouse genome. The DNA polymerase alpha gene (Pola) was mapped to the mouse X chromosome in region C-D. The gene encoding the p58 subunit of primase (Prim2) was located to mouse chromosome 1 in region A5-B and the p49 subunit gene (Prim1) was found to be on mouse chromosome 10 in the distal part of band D that is close to the telomere. Current knowledge of mouse and human conserved chromosomal regions along with the findings presented here lead to predictions of where the genes for the DNA primase subunits may be found in the human genome: the p58 subunit gene may be on human chromosome 2 and the p49 subunit gene on human chromosome 12. The mapping of Pola to region C-D of the mouse X chromosome adds a new marker in a conserved region between the mouse X chromosome and region Xp21-22.1 of the human X chromosome. 相似文献

Alphoid DNA polymorphisms for chromosome 21 can be distinguished from those of chromosome 13 using probes homologous to both. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Although alphoid DNA sequences shared among acrocentric chromosomes have been identified, no human chromosome 21-specific sequence has been isolated from the centromeric region. To identify alphoid DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) specific for chromosome 21, we hybridized human genomic DNA with alphoid DNA probes [L1.26; aRI(680),21-208] shared by chromosomes 13 and 21. We detected RFLPs with restriction enzymes ECoRI, HaeIII, MboI,StuI, and TaqI. The segregation of these RFLPs was analyzed in the 40 CEPH families. Linkage analysis between these RFLPs and loci previously mapped to either chromosome 13 or 21 revealed RFLPs that appear to be specific to chromosome 21. These polymorphisms may be useful as genetic markers of the centromeric region of chromosome 21. Different alphoid loci within the centromeric region of chromosome 13 were identified. 相似文献

Assigning the polymorphic human insulin gene to the short arm of chromosome 11 by chromosome sorting 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Summary We have determined the subchromosomal location of the human insulin gene by analyzing DNA isolated from sorted human metaphase chromosomes. Metaphase chromosome suspensions were sorted into fractions according to relative Hoechst fluorescence intensity by the fluorescence activated chromosome sorter. The chromosomal DNA in each fraction was characterized by restriction endonuclease analysis. Initial sorts indicated that the insulin gene-containing fragment resided in a fraction containing chromosomes 9, 10, 11 and 12. Studies of cell lines that contained chromosome translocations permitted the assignment of the insulin gene to a derivative chromosome that contains portions of the short arm of chromosome 11. Simultaneous sorting of the normal homolog from this small derivative chromosome separated the two different sized insulin gene-containing restriction fragments in this individual. These data indicate that the two restriction fragments represent insulin gene polymorphism and not duplicate gene loci. 相似文献

A sorted, cloned Y chromosome phage library was screened for unique Y chromosome sequences. Of the thousands of plaques screened, 13 did not hybridize to radiolabeled 46,XX total chromosomal DNA. Three plaques were characterized further. Clone Y1 hybridized to multiple restriction enzyme fragments in both male and female DNA with more intense bands in male DNA. Clone Y2, also found in female and male DNA, is probably located in the pseudosutosomal region because extra copies of either the X or Y chromosomes increased Y2 restriction enzyme fragment intensity in total cellular DNA. Clone Y5 was male specific in three of four restriction enzyme digests although in the fourth a light hybridizing band was observed in both male and female DNA. Clone Y5 was sublocalized to band Yq 11.22 by hybridization to a panel of cellular DNA from patients with Y chromosome rearrangements. Clone Y5 can be used to test for retention of the proximally long arm Y suggested to cause gonadal cancer in carrier females. The long series of GA repeats in Y5, anticipated to be polymorphic, may provide a sensitive means to follow Y chromosome variation in human populations. 相似文献

At metaphase, DNA in a human chromosome is estimated to be compacted at least 10,000 fold in length. However, the higher order mechanisms by which the chromosomes are organized in interphase and subsequently further condensed in mitosis have largely remained elusive. One generally overlooked participant in chromosome condensation is DNA replication. Many early studies of eukaryotic chromosome organization and cell fusions have suggested that DNA replication plays a role in chromosome compaction. Recent phenotypic analysis of Drosophila DNA replication mutants has revitalized this old idea. In this review, the role of DNA replication in chromosome condensation will be examined. 相似文献

The Y chromosome of the mouse is decondensed in Sertoli cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The condensation of the Y chromosome in mouse cells was studied with two repetitive DNA probes, pY353/B and M34. Both DNA probes are specific to the Y chromosome and hybridize in situ along the whole chromosome. Due to the high resolution of the in situ hybridization technique with non-radioactive labeled DNA probes it was possible to observe the degree of condensation of the Y chromosome in the interphase cell nuclei of various somatic tissues and on testes preparations. The Sertoli cells were the only cell type in which the Y chromosome was always observed to be in a highly decondensed state. The decondensation of the Y chromosome in the Sertoli cells supports the view that the genetic activity of the Y chromosome is cell autonomous and opens the way to its molecular analysis. 相似文献

Two different methods have been described to investigate whether any specific DNA sequences are intimately associated with the metaphase chromosome scaffold. The chromosome scaffold, prepared by dehistonization of chromosomes with 2 M NaCl, is a nonhistone protein complex to which many looped DNA molecules are attached (Laemmli et al., 1977, Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 42:351--360). Chromosome scaffold DNA was prepared from dehistonized chicken MSB chromosomes by restriction endonuclease EcoRI digestion followed by removal of the looped DNA by sucrose gradient sedimentation. Alternatively, the scaffold DNA was prepared from micrococcal nuclease-digested intact chromosomes using sucrose gradients containing 2M NaCl. Solution hybridization of the radioactively labeled scaffold DNA with a large excess of total nuclear DNA revealed that, in either case, the scaffold DNA is not a unique sequence class of genomic DNA. Southern-blotting hybridization also showed that the scaffold DNA prepared from EcoRI-digested dehistonized chromosomes was not enriched (or depleted) in the ovalbumin gene sequences. The possibility of a dynamic interaction of protein and DNA in the chromosome scaffold and the possibility that the scaffold is a preparative artifact are discussed. 相似文献

There is increasing evidence that defects in DNA double-strand-break (DSB) repair can cause chromosome instability, which may result in cancer. To identify novel DSB repair genes in mice, we performed a phenotype-driven mutagenesis screen for chromosome instability mutants using a flow cytometric peripheral blood micronucleus assay. Micronucleus levels were used as a quantitative indicator of chromosome damage in vivo. Among offspring derived from males mutagenized with the germline mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU), we identified a recessive mutation conferring elevated levels of spontaneous and radiation- or mitomycin C-induced micronuclei. This mutation, named chaos1 (chromosome aberration occurring spontaneously 1), was genetically mapped to a 1.3-Mb interval on chromosome 16 containing Polq, encoding DNA polymerase theta. We identified a nonconservative mutation in the ENU-derived allele, making it a strong candidate for chaos1. POLQ is homologous to Drosophila MUS308, which is essential for normal DNA interstrand crosslink repair and is unique in that it contains both a helicase and a DNA polymerase domain. While cancer susceptibility of chaos1 mutant mice is still under investigation, these data provide a practical paradigm for using a forward genetic approach to discover new potential cancer susceptibility genes using the surrogate biomarker of chromosome instability as a screen. 相似文献

Three homologues of the plasmid RK2 ParDE toxin-antitoxin system are present in the Vibrio cholerae genome within the superintegron on chromosome II. Here we found that these three loci-two of which have identical open reading frames and regulatory sequences-encode functional toxin-antitoxin systems. The ParE toxins inhibit bacterial division and reduce viability, presumably due to their capacity to damage DNA. The in vivo effects of ParE1/3 mimic those of ParE2, which we have previously demonstrated to be a DNA gyrase inhibitor in vitro, suggesting that ParE1/3 is likewise a gyrase inhibitor, despite its relatively low degree of sequence identity. ParE-mediated DNA damage activates the V. cholerae SOS response, which in turn likely accounts for ParE's inhibition of cell division. Each toxin's effects can be prevented by the expression of its cognate ParD antitoxin, which acts in a toxin-specific fashion both to block toxicity and to repress the expression of its parDE operon. Derepression of ParE activity in ΔparAB2 mutant V. cholerae cells that have lost chromosome II contributes to the prominent DNA degradation that accompanies the death of these cells. Overall, our findings suggest that the ParE toxins lead to the postsegregational killing of cells missing chromosome II in a manner that closely mimics postsegregational killing mediated by plasmid-encoded homologs. Thus, the parDE loci aid in the maintenance of the integrity of the V. cholerae superintegron and in ensuring the inheritance of chromosome II. 相似文献
