To identify the transposon insertion sites in a soil actinomycete, Saccharopolyspora spinosa, a genome walking approach, termed SPTA-PCR, was developed. In SPTA-PCR, a simple procedure consisting of TA cloning and a high stringency PCR, following the single primer-mediated, randomly-primed PCR, can eliminate non-target DNA fragments and obtain target fragments specifically. Using SPTA-PCR, the DNA sequence adjacent to the highly conserved region of lectin coding gene in onion plant, Allium chinense, was also cloned. 相似文献

Male and female human placenta DNA was fractionated in an Ag+-Cs2SO4 density gradient. The different fractions along the gradient were analyzed by Hae III endonuclease digestion. Within the main band DNA on the light side a component having a Hae III digestion pattern similar to that of human satellite III DNA has been identified. This component which might be defined as a cryptic satellite accounts for at least 3% of the total human DNA and has a different position than human satellite III in Ag+-Cs2SO4. 相似文献

Determination of nucleotide sequences adjacent to a known region is a recurring need in many genome scale studies. Various methods have been developed based on PCR techniques in order to fulfill this aim and overcome the time-consuming approach of screening genomic libraries. Usually these protocols rely on specific requirements and strategies, such as the presence of suitable nucleotide restriction sites and ligation of specific single- or double-strand linkers, thus limiting their application to a certain extent. In this paper we present an alternative PCR-based protocol, consisting of four main steps: (i) extension of a sequence-specific primer; (ii) 3'-tailing of extended single-strand DNA; (iii) PCR; and (iv) nested PCR amplifications. This method, which appears to be a valid alternative to the other PCR-based protocols, was used for the identification of sequences flanking the cDNA encoding region of the Lhcb 1.1 gene (one member of the multigene family coding for the light harvesting protein Lhcbl) in the spinach genome. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequences corresponding to bovine alpha S2- and beta- casein
mRNAs have been determined by cDNA analysis. Both sequences appear to be
complete at their 5' ends. The nucleotide sequence of alpha S2-casein, when
compared with the corresponding cavine A sequence, helps to define the
boundaries of a large amino acid repeat (approximately 80 residues) whereas
comparisons with the nucleotide sequences of rat gamma- and mouse
epsilon-casein mRNAs also reveal extensive sequence similarities. An
alignment of these four sequences shows that the divergence of their
translated regions has been characterized by the duplication and deletion
of discrete segments of sequence that probably correspond to exons. A high
degree of nucleotide substitution is also found when the four sequences are
compared, except for well-conserved leader-peptide and phosphorylation-site
sequences and, to a lesser extent, the 5'-untranslated regions. Similar
comparison of the bovine and rat beta-caseins shows that their divergence
has involved a high rate of nucleotide substitution but that no major
insertions or deletions of sequence have occurred. The several splice sites
that have veen defined in the rat beta-casein gene are likely to have been
conserved in the bovine. The contrasting evolutionary histories of the
alpha- and beta-casein coding sequences correlate with the distinctive
functions of these proteins in the casein micelle system in milk.

Inferring basal relationships among vascular plants poses a major challenge to plant systematists. The divergence events that describe these relationships occurred long ago and considerable homoplasy has since accrued for both molecular and morphological characters. A potential solution is to examine phylogenetic analyses from multiple data sets. Here I present a new source of phylogenetic data for ferns and other pteridophytes. I sequenced the chloroplast gene atpB from 23 pteridophyte taxa and used maximum parsimony to infer relationships. A 588-bp region of the gene appeared to contain a statistically significant amount of phylogenetic signal and the resulting trees were largely congruent with similar analyses of nucleotide sequences from rbcL. However, a combined analysis of atpB plus rbcL produced a better resolved tree than did either data set alone. In the shortest trees, leptosporangiate ferns formed a monophyletic group. Also, I detected a well-supported clade of Psilotaceae (Psilotum and Tmesipteris) plus Ophioglossaceae (Ophioglossum and Botrychium). The demonstrated utility of atpB suggests that sequences from this gene should play a role in phylogenetic analyses that incorporate data from chloroplast genes, nuclear genes, morphology, and fossil data. 相似文献

Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of soybean 18S rRNA with the sequences of other small-subunit rRNAs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We present the sequence of the nuclear-encoded ribosomal small-subunit RNA from soybean. The soybean 18S rRNA sequence of 1807 nucleotides (nt) is contained in a gene family of approximately 800 closely related members per haploid genome. This sequence is compared with the ribosomal small-subunit RNAs of maize (1805 nt), yeast (1789 nt), Xenopus (1825 nt), rat (1869 nt), and Escherichia coli (1541 nt). Significant sequence homology is observed among the eukaryotic small-subunit rRNAs examined, and some sequence homology is observed between eukaryotic and prokaryotic small-subunit rRNAs. Conserved regions are found to be interspersed among highly diverged sequences. The significance of these comparisons is evaluated using computer simulation of a random sequence model. A tentative model of the secondary structure of soybean 18S rRNA is presented and discussed in the context of the functions of the various conserved regions within the sequence. On the basis of this model, the short base-paired sequences defining the four structural and functional domains of all 18S rRNAs are seen to be well conserved. The potential roles of other conserved soybean 18S rRNA sequences in protein synthesis are discussed. 相似文献

Phenylalanine-specific tRNA was isolated from human placenta and degraded to mixtures of oligonucleotides. Tritium sequence analysis of the digestion products indicates that the sequence of human placenta tRNAPhe is identical to that of calf liver tRNAPhe and differs only slightly from that of rabbit liver tRNAPhe. 相似文献

This article introduces an algorithm for the lossless compression of DNA files, which contain annotation text besides the nucleotide sequence. First a grammar is specifically designed to capture the regularities of the annotation text. A revertible transformation uses the grammar rules in order to equivalently represent the original file as a collection of parsed segments and a sequence of decisions made by the grammar parser. This decomposition enables the efficient use of state-of-the-art encoders for processing the parsed segments. The output size of the decision-making process of the grammar is optimized by extending the states to account for high-order Markovian dependencies. The practical implementation of the algorithm achieves a significant improvement when compared to the general-purpose methods currently used for DNA files. 相似文献

The data of Fourier-analysis of nucleotide sequences are discussed. The existence of reflexes corresponding to regular position of nucleotides (mainly T and G) with 3-base period is the most striking feature of both phage and viral nucleic acid sequences spectra. The amplitude and phase of the similar reflexes in the dinucleotide spectra obtained by digital computing of Fourier-transform, give specific information on amino acid composition, codon bias, amino acid relations. The width of frequency band characterizes a tendency to nucleotide clustering or to separate existence. The blurring of reflexes shows the disturbance of far order in the regular nucleotide "lattice". The two-dimensional spectral analysis supports the existence of far correlation in nucleotide positions. 相似文献

A human lung cDNA expression library was screened by using a rabbit antiserum specific for a human Clara cell 10 kDa protein. The cDNA from two positive clones was sequenced by the dideoxy chain termination method. The nucleotide and primary amino-acid sequence deduced therefrom are presented. The N-terminal amino-acid sequence of the Clara cell 10 kDa protein, purified from bronchoalveolar lavage, was also determined. The deduced and experimentally determined sequences were identical where data for both were available. From the amino-acid composition, deduced and experimentally determined amino-acid sequences, it was determined that the 10 kDa protein in bronchoalveolar lavage consists of two identical 70-amino-acid long polypeptide chains joined by two cystine residues. The size of mRNA for the protein was found to be about 0.6 kb and the monomeric nascent protein, obtained by in vitro translation of lung mRNA was about 7.3 kDa in size. The 10 kDa protein recovered from bronchoalveolar lavage has 61% sequence identity with rabbit uteroglobin, the two proteins have common predicted secondary structures with marked surface differences when comparing predicted and actual structure determined by X-ray diffraction. The differences imply similarity of structure but, not identity of function. 相似文献

Genetic/genomic polymorphism, i.e. variations in DNA sequences are ideally assayed by direct nucleotide sequencing of a gene region or other homologous segment of the genome. An easier and cheaper approach, however, if the variants are analyzed by hybridization technology using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) or by detection of the number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of small DNA segments, the "minisatellites". In this study we describe results of the DNA analysis of repetitive sequences of human 6th chromosome by the application of a chemiluminescent labeled probes. The allele frequency distribution of polymorphic DNA sequences has been determined in unrelated individuals. The isolated genomic DNA was cut with Pst I restriction enzyme, size fractionated on agarose gel and hybridized with a chemiluminescent labeled D6 S132 probe. At this locus the Pst I cleaved DNA fragments are ranging from 1841 to 6098 base pairs (bp). Specific genetic pattern was characterized by more frequent fragments (3313 and 3884 bp), and the rarely occurring ones (clustered between 1841-2595 and 5227-6098 bp). Our study provides a further possibility for characterization of individual genomic patterns. 相似文献

In searching for strong homologies between multiple nucleic acid or protein sequences, researchers commonly look at fixed-length
segments in common to the sequences. Such homologies form the foundation of segment-based algorithms for multiple alignment
of protein sequences. The researcher uses settings of “unusualness of multiple matches” to calibrate the algorithms. In applications
where a researcher has found a multiple matching word, statistical significance helps gauge the unusualness of the observed
match. Previous approximations for the unusualness of multiple matches are based on large sample theory, and are sometimes
quite inaccurate. Section 2 illustrates this inaccuracy, and provides accurate approximations for the probability of a common
word inR out ofR sequences. Section 3 generalizes the approximation to multiple matching inR out ofS sequences. Section 4 describes a more complex approximation that incorporates exact probabilities and yields excellent accuracy;
this approximation is useful for checking the simpler approximations over a range of values. 相似文献
