BAC2, a rice BAC clone containing (TTTAGGG)n homologous sequences, was analyzed by Southern hybridization and DNA sequencing of its subclones. It was disclosed that there
were many tandem repeated satellite DNA sequences, called TA352, as well as simple tandem repeats consisting of TTTAGGG or
its variant within the BAC2 insert. A 0. 8 kb (TTTAGGG)n-containing fragment in BAC2 was mapped in the telomere regions of at least 5 pairs of rice chromosomes by using fluorescencein situ hybridization (FISH). By RFLP analysis of low copy sequences the BAC2 clone was localized in one terminal region of chromosome
6. All the results strongly suggest that the telomeric DNA sequences of rice are TTTAGGG or its variant, and the linked satellite
DNA TA352 sequences belong to telomere-associated sequences. 相似文献

The DNA breakage detection-fluorescence in situ hybridization (DBD-FISH) procedure was applied to analyze the effect of Wortmannin (WM) in the rejoining kinetics of ionizing radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the whole genome and in the long interstitial telomeric repeat sequence (ITRS) blocks from Chinese hamster cell lines. The results indicate that the ITRS blocks from wild-type Chinese hamster cell lines, CHO9 and V79B, exhibit a slower initial rejoining rate of ionizing radiation-induced DSBs than the genome overall. Neither Rad51C nor the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) activities, involved in homologous recombination (HR) and in non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways of DSB repair respectively, influenced the rejoining kinetics within ITRS in contrast to DNA sequences in the whole genome. Nevertheless, DSB removal rate within ITRS was decreased in the absence of Ku86 activity, though at a lower affectation level than in the whole genome, thus homogenizing both rejoining kinetics rates. WM treatment slowed down the DSB rejoining kinetics rate in ITRS, this effect being more pronounced in the whole genome, resulting in a similar pattern to that of the Ku86 deficient cells. In fact, no WM effect was detected in the Ku86 deficient Chinese hamster cells, so probably WM does not add further impairment in DSB rejoining than that resulted as a consequence of absence of Ku activity. The same slowing effect was also observed after treatment of Rad51C and DNA-PKcs defective hamster cells by WM, suggesting that: (1) there is no potentiation of the HR when the NHEJ is impaired by WM, either in the whole genome or in the ITRS, and (2) that this impairment may probably involve more targets than DNA-PKcs. These results suggest that there is an intragenomic heterogeneity in DSB repair, as well as in the effect of WM on this process. 相似文献

To localize interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) and to test whether their pattern of distribution could be linked to chromosomal evolution, we hybridized telomeric sequence probes (peptide nucleic acid, PNA) on metaphases of New World monkeys: Callithrix argentata, Callithrix jacchus, Cebuella pygmaea, Saguinus oedipus, Saimiri sciureus, Aotus lemurinus griseimembra, Aotus nancymaae (Cebidae), Lagothrix lagotricha (Atelidae) and Callicebus moloch (Pithecidae), characterized by a rapid radiation and a high rate of chromosomal rearrangements. Our analysis of the probe signal localization allowed us to show in all the species analysed, as normally, the telomeric location at the terminal ends of chromosomes and unexpected signal distributions in some species. Indeed, in three species among the nine studied, Aotus lemurinus griseimembra, Aotus nancymaae (Cebidae) and Lagothrix lagotricha (Atelidae), we showed a high variability in terms of localization and degree of amplification of interstitial telomeric sequences, especially for the ones found at centromeric or pericentromeric positions (het‐ITS). A comparative analysis, between species, of homologous chromosomes to human syntenies, on which we have found positive interspersed PNA signals, allowed us to explain the observed pattern of ITS distribution as results of chromosomal rearrangements in the neotropical primates analysed. This evidence permitted us to discuss the possible implication of ITSs as phylogenetic markers for closely related species. Moreover, reviewing previous literature data of ITSs distribution in Primates and in the light of our results, we suggest an underestimation of ITSs and highlight the importance of the molecular cytogenetics approach in characterizing ITSs, which role is still not clarified. 相似文献

This paper describes a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of three different repetitive sequence families,
which were mapped to mitotic metaphase chromosomes and extended DNA fibers (EDFs) of the two subspecies of rice (Oryza sativa), indica and japonica (2n=2x=24). The repeat families studied were (1) the tandem repeat sequence A (TrsA), a functionally non-significant repeat; (2)
the [TTTAGGG]n telomere sequence, a non-transcribed, tandemly repeated but functionally significant repeat; and (3) the 5S ribosomal RNA
(5S rDNA). FISH of the TrsA repeat to metaphase chromosomes of indica and japonica cultivars revealed clear signals at the distal ends of twelve and four chromosomes, respectively. As shown in a previous
report, the 17S ribosomal RNA genes (17S rDNA) are located at the nucleolus organizers (NORs) on chromosomes 9 and 10 of the
indica cultivar. However, the japonica rice lacked the rDNA signals on chromosome 10. The size of the 5S rDNA repeat block, which was mapped on the chromosome 11
of both cultivars, was 1.22 times larger in the indica than in the japonica genome. The telomeric repeat arrays at the distal ends of all chromosome arms were on average three times longer in the indica genome than in the japonica genome. Flow cytometric measurements revealed that the nuclear DNA content of indica rice is 9.7% higher than that of japonica rice. Our data suggest that different repetitive sequence families contribute significantly to the variation in genome size
between indica and japonica rice, though to different extents. The increase or decrease in the copy number of several repetitive sequences examined here
may indicate the existence of a directed change in genome size in rice. Possible reasons for this phenomenon of concurrent
evolution of various repeat families are discussed.

端粒是染色体末端的特化结构,由简单呈串联线性排列的核酸重复序列及相关蛋白质组成。其核酸序列具有高度的保守性,均富含GC。在人类为TTAGGG的高度重复序列具有维持基因组完整性的作用。端粒功能异常会导致染色体失去稳定性,促进肿瘤的发生和发展。以往认为端粒附近区域不具有转录活性,但最近在Science杂志上Azzalin等首次报道了该区域可以转录一种非编码RNA,即端粒RNA(telomeric RNA)。该分子具有特殊的UUAGGG重复序列,在调控端粒长度和端粒酶活性上具有重要作用,在发育、衰老和肿瘤发生发展等研究中已成为热点。该文将对近期有关端粒RNA的研究进展予以综述。 相似文献

水稻中一个NBS-LRR抗病同源基因家族的克隆和分析 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:7
利用克隆的抗病基因同源序列RS13作为探针,从水稻IR64的BAC文库中筛选到4个阳性克隆,其中一个克隆14E19能够覆盖其余3个克隆。对14E19进行全序列测定和分析,获得了73kb的全长DNA序列,基因预测显示其上有4个编码NBS-LRR结构域的基因(NL),分别命名为NL-A,B,C和D。对具有相同基因组背景的IRBB56同一染色体位置上跨度更大的BAC克隆106P13进行分析,发现其上有10个NL同源拷贝,其中4个同14E19上的NL一样。搜索日本晴、93—11、广陆矮4号的序列,发现三者有类似的同源序列。但与已知的NBS-LRR抗病基因同源性较低,说明NL是一个至少由10个成员(分别命名为NL-A至J)组成的新基因家族。对NL家族进行RT-PCR和cDNA库筛选分析,发现NL-B基因能够在抗白叶枯病品系IRBB4中表达,暗示该基因参与了抗病反应。 相似文献

A complete and high‐quality genome reference sequence of an organism provides a solid foundation for a wide research community and determines the outcomes of relevant genomic, genetic, molecular and evolutionary research. Rice is an important food crop and a model plant for grasses, and therefore was the first chosen crop plant for whole genome sequencing. The genome of the japonica representative rice variety, Nipponbare, was sequenced using a gold standard, map‐based clone‐by‐clone strategy. However, although the Nipponbare reference sequence (RefSeq) has the best quality for existing crop genome sequences, it still contains many assembly errors and gaps. To improve the Nipponbare RefSeq, first a robust method is required to detect the hidden assembly errors. Through alignments between BAC‐end sequences (BESs) embedded in the Nipponbare bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) physical map and the Nipponbare RefSeq, we detected locations on the Nipponbare RefSeq that were inversely matched with BESs and could therefore be candidates for spurious inversions of assembly. We performed further analysis of five potential locations and confirmed assembly errors at those locations; four of them, two on chr4 and two on chr11 of the Nipponbare RefSeq (IRGSP build 5), were found to be caused by reverse repetitive sequences flanking the locations. Our approach is effective in detecting spurious inversions in the Nipponbare RefSeq and can be applied for improving the sequence qualities of other genomes as well. 相似文献

The Japanese rose bitterling, Rhodeus ocellatus kurumeus, and the oily bitterling, Tanakia limbata, were cytogenetically studied by silver (Ag)- and chromomycin A3 (CMA3)-staining, by C-banding and by mapping of the 18S ribosomal genes and of the (TTAGGG)
n
telomeric sequence. These two representative species of related genera of the subfamily Acheilognathinae show very similar chromosome complements. Nevertheless, significant differences in the chromosomal distribution of nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) and interstitial telomeric sequences were observed. Whereas R. ocellatus kurumeus shows a single NOR-bearing chromosome pair, T. limbata is characterized by a higher number of variable NORs. Multiple telomeric sequence sites were found at the pericentromeric regions of several chromosomes in the rose bitterling. No telomeric sequence sites were detected near centromeres, but they were found to be scattered along the NORs in the oily bitterling. Two karyoevolutive trends might have been identified in the subfamily. 相似文献

The study of the proteins that bind to telomeric DNA in mammals has provided a deep understanding of the mechanisms involved in chromosome-end protection. However, very little is known on the binding of these proteins to nontelomeric DNA sequences. The TTAGGG DNA repeat proteins 1 and 2 (TRF1 and TRF2) bind to mammalian telomeres as part of the shelterin complex and are essential for maintaining chromosome end stability. In this study, we combined chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing to map at high sensitivity and resolution the human chromosomal sites to which TRF1 and TRF2 bind. While most of the identified sequences correspond to telomeric regions, we showed that these two proteins also bind to extratelomeric sites. The vast majority of these extratelomeric sites contains interstitial telomeric sequences (or ITSs). However, we also identified non-ITS sites, which correspond to centromeric and pericentromeric satellite DNA. Interestingly, the TRF-binding sites are often located in the proximity of genes or within introns. We propose that TRF1 and TRF2 couple the functional state of telomeres to the long-range organization of chromosomes and gene regulation networks by binding to extratelomeric sequences. 相似文献

Interstitial Telomeric Repeat Sequence (ITRS) blocks are recognized as hot spots for spontaneous and ionizing radiation-induced chromosome breakage and recombination. Background and ionizing radiation-induced DNA breaks in large blocks of ITRS from Chinese hamster cell lines were analyzed using the DNA Breakage Detection-Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (DBD-FISH) procedure. Our results indicate an extremely alkali-sensitivity of ITRS. Furthermore, it appears that ITRS blocks exhibit a particular chromatin structure, being enriched in short unpaired DNA segments. These segments could be liable to severe topological stress in highly compacted areas of the genome resulting in their spontaneous fragility and thus explaining their alkali-sensitivity. The induction and repair kinetics of DNA single-strand breaks (ssb) and DNA double-strand breaks (dsb) induced by ionizing radiation were assessed by DBD-FISH on neutral comets using Chinese hamster cells deficient in either DNA-PKcs or Rad51C. Our results indicate that the initial rejoining rate of dsb within ITRS is slower than that in the whole genome, in wild-type cells, demonstrating an intragenomic heterogeneity in dsb repair. Interestingly, in the absence of DNA-PKcs activity, the rejoining rate of dsb within ITRS is not modified, unlike in the whole genome. This was also found in the case of Rad51C mutant cells. Our results suggest the possibility that different DNA sequences or chromatin organizations may be targeted by specific dsb repair pathways. Furthermore, it appears that additional unknown dsb repair pathways may be operational in mammalian cells. 相似文献

The karyotype of the Mediterranean species Anemone hortensis L. (Ranunculaceae) was characterized with emphasis on heterochromatin distribution and localization of ribosomal (18S−5.8S−26S and 5S rDNA) and telomeric repeats (TTTAGGG). Diploid chromosome complement, 2 n = 2 x = 16, common to all investigated populations, consisted of three acrocentric, one meta-submetacentric and four metacentric chromosomes ranging in size from 6.34 to 10.47 µm. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S and 5S rDNA probes revealed two 18S−5.8S−26S rDNA loci on a satellite and secondary constriction of acrocentric chromosome pair 2 and terminally on acrocentric chromosome pair 3, and two 5S rDNA loci in the pericentromeric region of meta-submetacentric chromosome pair 4 and in the proximity of the 18S−5.8S−26S rDNA locus on chromosome pair 2. The only GC-rich heterochromatin, as revealed by fluorochrome Chromomycin A3 staining, was that associated with nucleolar organizer regions, whereas AT-rich heterochromatin, stained with 4,6-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), was distributed intercalarly and terminally on the long arm of all three acrocentric chromosomes, and terminally on chromosomes 4 and 5. FISH with Arabidopsis -type telomeric repeats (TTTAGGG) as a probe revealed two classes of signals, small dot-like and large bands, at chromosome termini exclusively, where they corresponded to terminal DAPI-stained heterochromatin. Heteromorphism of chromosome pair 4, which refers to terminal DAPI bands and FISH signals, was observed in populations of Anemone hortensis . Chromosome pairing during meiosis was regular with formation of localized chiasmata proximal to the centromere. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 150 , 177–186. 相似文献

Telomeres are DNA-protein structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, the DNA of which comprise noncoding repeats of guanine-rich sequences. Telomeric DNA plays a fundamental role in protecting the cell from recombination and degradation. Telomeric sequences can form quadruplex structures stabilized by guanine quartets. These structures can be constructed from one, two, or four oligonucleotidic strands. Here, we report the thermodynamic characterization of the stability, analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, of three DNA quadruplexes of different molecularity, all containing four G-tetrads. The conformational properties of these quadruple helices were studied by circular dichroism. The investigated oligomers form well-defined G-quadruplex structures in the presence of sodium ions. Two have the truncated telomeric sequence from Oxytricha, d(TGGGGT) and d(GGGGTTTTGGGG), which form a tetramolecular and bimolecular quadruplex, respectively. The third sequence, d(GGGGTTGGGGTGTGGGGTTGGGG) was designed to form a unimolecular quadruplex. The thermodynamic parameters of these quadruplexes have been determined. The tetramolecular structure is thermodynamically more stable than the bimolecular one, which, in turn, is more stable than the unimolecular one. The experimental data were discussed in light of the molecular-modeling study. 相似文献
