The phenotypic expression of a dominantly inherited human salivary acidic protein (Pa) has been described in acid-urea starch and in Tris-borate acrylamide gel systems. Estimates of the Pa+ allelic frequencies in American Caucasians, American blacks, and Orientals are .21, .14, and .42, respectively. The genetic and biochemical similarities to another series of proline-rich salivary proteins, Pr, and to a pair of similarly staining salivary proteins, Db (double band), are evaluated. It is concluded that either one locus or two (or three) tightly linked loci are viable explanations for this polymorphic system(s). It is suggested that the three factors, Pa, Pr, and Db, be treated as separate loci to allow clarification of their genetic relationships. 相似文献

Based on data from 76 informative families, linkages between Pa and Pr and between Pr and Db have been established by two-point linkage analysis. In both pairs of loci, there were no significant sex heterogeneity in recombination fractions. Linkage between Pa and Db cannot be established based on two-point analyses, but a significant sex difference in the recombination fraction between Pa and Db was observed. Strong confirming evidence was obtained from three-point analysis to place Pa, Pr, and Db in one linkage group. The most likely order is Pa-Pr-Db, but the relative odds over second order Pr-Pa-Db are small. Haplotype frequencies of Pr, Pa, and Db were obtained based on the phenotypes of the 685 random Caucasians, providing evidence for marked linkage disequilibrium among the three loci. 相似文献

A total of 434 White and 148 Black persons from the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre were studied in relation to the
Pr, Db, Pa, Ps and amylase electrophoretic salivary systems. Concomitantly, individual migration, parent-offspring and marital
distances were recorded for these individuals, their spouses and ancestors. As far as these dispersion measures are concerned,
White/Black and intergeneration differences were generally higher in the present study than in earlier ones, although the
averages found this time were consistently lower than those observed before. The correlations between these measures indicated
a higher degree of independence between generations than was previously inferred. In the genetic studies, 21 comparisons between
the Porto Alegre distributions and those found in North American, European and African surveys yelded 7 significant differences.
In general the allele frequencies in Porto Alegre show intermediate values between those found elsewhere among Blacks and
Whites, suggesting admixture in these two racial segments of that city. Using previous estimates of such admixture the gene
frequencies of the putative Porto Alegre parental populations were estimated and compared with present European and African
results. Relatively large differences were observed for the Db+ andAmy

We cloned and sequenced the entire exon and intron structures of Db and Pa genetic determinants at the PRH1 locus. Their derived amino acid sequences and that previously determined for the PIF protein completely explain the electrophoretic phenotypes of the acidic proline-rich proteins (PRPs) Pa, Db, and PIF. Thus, the Cys substitution near Arg 106 in the Pa protein sterically interferes with proteolytic cutting at Arg 106 and accounts for the single-banded phenotype. In contrast, the Db and PIF proteins are proteolytically cut at Arg 106 and show a double-banded phenotype. The Db protein has an extra 21-amino acid repeat that accounts for its larger size compared with the equal sized Pa monomer and PIF proteins. Several amino acid substitutions account for the charge and mobility differences of the Pa, Db, and PIF proteins in isoelectric-focusing gels. These DNA/protein correlations, as well as the extremely similar genomic-DNA sequences that differ by less than 1%, establish that Pa, Db, and PIF are alleles at the PRH1 locus. On the basis of the DNA sequences, we conclude that Db and Pa alleles diverged more recently from a common precursor than did the PIF allele from its precursor. 相似文献

In the chicken population at large, three electrophoretically distinct pancreatic alpha-amylase isozymes were discovered. The isozymes were designated Pa 1, Pa 2, and Pa 3. The local population of chickens, however, possessed only isozymes Pa 2 and Pa 3 present as three phenotypes: Amy-2 B, consisting of isozyme Pa2; Amy2 BC, consisting of isozymes Pa 2 plus Pa 3; and Amy2 C, consisting of isozyme Pa 3. Pancreatic biopsy permitted the establishment of a breeding flock with defined amylase phenotypes. Matings of this flock established that amylases are inherited as codominant alleles at a single genetic locus. Further, there was no evidence of ontogenetic modification of the amylase isozymes. It was observed that amylase isozymes Pa 2 and Pa 3 each generated a family of at least three faster-migrating amylolytic proteins. These post-translationally modified amylases were designated Pa Xa, Pa Xb, and Pa Xc, where X represents the number of the progenitor amylase. Structural analyses of purified amylases demonstrated that all amylase isozymes are nonglycosidated, monomeric molecules of molecular weight 55,000. In addition, the data are consistent with the hypothesis that the faster-migrating amylases are produced by deamidation of asparagine and/or glutamine residues. 相似文献

This paper reports genetic variation at the prealbumin ( Pr ), postalbumin ( Pa ) and transferrin ( Tf ) loci in Equus przewalskii found using thin layer isoelectric focusing and an amphoteric separator. The method resolves all three loci plus serum esterase ( Es ) on a single gel, and typing of all four loci is readily achieved. In addition to the esterase alleles previously reported by Fisher & Scott (1979), five alleles were found at the Pr locus. three at the Pa locus and six at the Tf locus. Analysis of several mating types confirms inheritance is autosomal and codominant for all four loci. 相似文献

The distributions of the phenotype and gene frequencies of nine polymorphic systems in human parotid and whole saliva were studied in the Japanese population of the eastern part of Japan and compared with those of populations in other areas of Japan and other ethnic groups. The gene frequencies were: Pa+ = 0.214; Pb1 = 1.000; Pr1 = 0.753; Db+ = 0.035; PmF+ = 0.394; Ph+ = 0.028; PIF+ = 0.733; Amy1V = 0.011, and s-AcpA = 0.217. 相似文献

The characterization of equine prealbumin (Pr) proteins by antigen-antibody crossed electrophoresis. Acta vet. scand. 1979, 20, 180–190. — Selected equine Pr phenotypes from a total of 55 horses of mixed breeds were investigated. The horse sera were subjected to acid starch gel electrophoresis at pH 4.8, followed by right angle electrophoresis in agarose gels containing rabbit-produced anti-Pr protein. This technique gives peaks in the agarose gels corresponding to the Pr zones in acid gels. The investigation revealed patterns of the Pr protein which were more complex than those seen when using ordinary acid starch gel electrophoresis. The phenotypes FF, II and LL showed a total of eight peaks, each with three main peaks in the front. Ahead of these, the Pr II and Pr LL phenotypes each had a fourth small peak. The basic fast pattern for these two phenotypes therefore consisted of four bands. The Pr WW and Pr SS showed a similar picture as regards the fast moving peaks. The Pr NN type appeared with two peaks in the front, one small and one large and with two slow moving ones. The Pr UU type had four peaks, but only in the area of the main Pr U band in acid gels. Four heterozygous Pr phenotypes appeared as a combination of the corresponding homozygous phenotypes, the number and height of the peaks depending on positions and overlappings of these in the respective homozygotes. Thus the Pr FW phenotype showed a total of 10 peaks. The effect of variations in pH of the starch gel buffer was studied. The Pr NN and Pr FF phenotypes were run at pH 4.8, 5.0, 5.2 and 5.4. With increasing pH, the slow moving peaks weakened and moved closer to the fast ones. At pH 5.4 only one large fast moving peak remained. 相似文献

Summary. Plasma samples of alpacas and llamas were analysed by a simple method of two-dimensional (2-D) agarose gel (pH 8.6)-horizontal polyacrylamide gel (pH 9.0) electrophoresis, followed by general protein staining of gels. Genetic polymorphism in both species is described for α 1 B-glycoprotein (α 1 B) and three other unidentified proteins designated prealbumin (Pr), postalbumin 1 and 2 (Pal and Pa2). α 1 B was identified by cross-reactivity with antisera for human and pig α 1 B. Altogether, two alleles of Pr, two of Pa1, five of α 1 B and three of Pa2 are described. Most of the alleles were present in alpacas and llamas. Alpacas showed a high degree of polymorphism at all four loci. Llamas showed considerable polymorphism at only the Pa1 and Pa2 loci. The theoretical probability of exclusion (P e ) of an incorrectly assigned parent was estimated to be about 80% in each species by typing for the six polymorphic plasma proteins reported so far in these species. The given method of 2-D electrophoresis revealed no fixed differences in protein mobilities that discriminate between llamas and alpacas. 相似文献

Understanding the genetic bases of phenotypes associated with the earliest stages of divergence will reveal a great deal about species formation. I review a number of model systems, most involving plant–insect interactions, that have already revealed genetic aspects of incipient speciation. It is suggested that progress in understanding the causal forces driving mating signal evolution and incipient speciation will be expedited in model systems where; (1) ecological and evolutionary information is available, (2) different aspects of mating behaviors that function in mate and/or species recognition are known, (3) genetic analysis of single phenotypes is undertaken, (4) analysis of sexual selection and isolation is performed under natural conditions (or in the wild), and (5) comparative data from related species are available to assess phylogenetic trends. 相似文献

Using isoelectric focusing with one ampholytic solution, double- and single-banded amylase phenotypes were found in a sample
of rhesus monkeys,Macaca mulatta. When applying different ampholytic solutions, these variants were shown to change their position relative to each other.
Single-banded phenotypes showed either a position corresponding to one of the bands of the double-banded phenotype or to an
intermediate one. Family studies, however, suggested that the differences between the observed patterns were not caused by
genetic differences. This discloses a problem with respect to the interpretation of electrophoretic data, i.e. bands with
different positions produced by isoelectric focusing may not necessarily represent genetic differences. 相似文献

We have shown that genes for at least six human parotid proteins, parotid acidic protein (Pa), proline-rich protein (Pr), double-banded protein (Db), glycoprotein (Gl), parotid middle-band protein (Pm), and parotid-size variant (Ps) are linked. We have designated this complex of genes as the salivary protein complex (SPC). Several of the genes in this complex show marked associations that are most likely the result of linkage disequilibrium. It seems likely that the SPC arose through the process of gene duplication. This hypothesis is supported by the results of our present study that demonstrate the biochemical similarity of the protein products of several SPC genes. The amino acid compositions of the major SPC proteins are compared, including several (Ps 1 and 2, and Db) that have not been published. All of these proteins are quite similar and consist to a large extent of the amino acids, proline, glycine, and gix (glutamine and/or glutamic acid). 相似文献

Electrophoretic phenotypes of human salivary amylase (Amy1) and pancreatic amylase (Amy2) consist of complex isozyme patterns which may result from post-translational modifications of the primary products of the amylase loci. Biochemical separation of the two molecular weight families of salivary amylase and development of a new electrophoretic system have allowed the identification of complete isozyme patterns corresponding to variant alleles in Amy
1 and Amy2 heterozygotes. Further, immunological studies show no nonidentities among salivary isozymes and among pancreatic isozymes, which is to be expected if each series is derived from a single gene product. Both results support the hypothesis that the primary products of the amylase loci undergo post-translational modifications. Salivary and pancreatic amylase appear to be immunologically identical.This investigation was supported in part by PHS Research Grant GM-19178.Supported by PHS Training Grant DE 119.Supported by PHS Training Grant GM 1056. 相似文献

Summary Three isoenzyme systems (amylase, esterase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase) were examined in seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L.) and shown to give clear variation in their band patterns on gel electrophoresis between different lines. The inheritance of these isoenzyme systems, and the location of their genes on the pea genome was investigated. Reciprocal crosses were made between lines, F2 seeds were analysed for segregation in the band patterns of the isoenzymes, and F2 plants were investigated to find linkage between the genes for these isoenzymes and genes for selected morphological markers. The results obtained showed that each of the investigated isoenzyme systems is genetically controlled by co-dominant alleles at a single locus. The gene for amylase was found to be on chromosome 2, linked to the loci k and wb (wb ... 9 ... k ... 25 ... Amy). The gene for esterase was found to be linked with the gene Br (chromosome 4) but the exact location is uncertain because of the lack of the morphological markers involved in the cross. The gene for glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase was found to be on chromosome 1 and linked with the loci a and d (a... 24... Got... 41 ... d). 相似文献

Summary An isoenzyme survey of some taxa in the genus Lotus (Fabaceae) was undertaken to increase the number of genetic markers available to breeders and to students of Lotus phylogeny. Twenty-one enzymes were examined using starch gel electrophoresis and nine buffer systems. Clear, consistent banding patterns were obtained for PGI, TPI, MDH, IDH (NADP), PGM, 6-PGDH, and ME. Clear but inconsistent banding patterns were obtained for FDP, G3PDH (NADP), -EST, LAP, MDH, DIA, and NADHDH. Phenotypes of the seven consistently resolved enzyme systems were obtained for different tissues for each of several genotypes at different stages of development. Variation in enzyme phenotypes of the same individuals under different growth conditions indicated the presence of different isozymic forms of these enzymes. Shoot tissue of plants over 6 weeks of age was found to be suitable material for further genetic studies, since phenotype for this tissue was constant despite changes in growing conditions. A formal genetic analysis of segregation and/or recombination of allozymes for the enzymes PGM, TPI, MDH, IDH, and 6-PGDH was undertaken. Isoenzyme phenotypes were examined for the diploids L. alpinus Schleich., L. burttii Sz. Borsos, L. conimbricensis Brot., L. ornithopodioides L., L. tennis Waldst. et Kit., and L. uliginosus Schkuhr; and for the diploid interspecific hybrids L. alpinus x L. conimbricensis, L. burttii x L. ornithopodioides, and L. japonicus x L. alpinus. Several new loci were identified for Lotus, namely, Idh1, Idh2, Mdh3, Pgi1, Pgi2, Tpi1, Tpi2, and 6-Pdgh1. Duplications of loci of IDH, MDH, PGI, and 6-PGDH were detected in the diploid (2n=12) interspecific hybrid L. japonicus x L. alpinus. 相似文献

Prior genetic studies of the human pancreatic amylase (Amy2) locus have been directed principally to the electrophoretic analysis of serum and urine, on the assumption that these fluids receive negligible contributions from the salivary (Amy 1) locus. In support of that assumption was the observation that the isozyme bands were lacking in patients with cystic fibrosis and in a postpancreatectomy patient. We have examined the sera of 97 patients having cystic fibrosis and find normal levels of serum amylase. On electrophoresis, three-quarters of the cystic fibrosis patients have a pattern (F-pattern) not observed in normal sera. The pattern is characterized by the absence of Pa 1. Comparative electrophoresis and mixing experiments indicate that the F-pattern is of salivary origin and is unmasked in cystic fibrosis by the absence of a pancreatic contribution. The normal serum pattern is considered to be an admixture of salivary and pancreatic amylase. On the assumption that duodenal fluids might more closely reflect the pancreatic (Amy 2) locus, electrophoretic studies were performed on 148 normal individuals and 37 individuals with cystic fibrosis. Electrophoretic phenotypes in duodenal aspirates are more complex than previously reported in studies of urine and serum; presumably because of the higher concentrations of amylase in the aspirates. Comparative electrophoresis and mixing experiments indicate that the phenotypes observed in duodenal aspirates also reflect admixture of pancreatic and salivary amylase. This recognition of pancreatic and salivary admixture in sera fortunately does not alter our prior understanding of the genetics of the Amy 2 polymorphism. The extensive studies which led to the delineation of the Amy 2 polymorphism were essentially based on the presence or absence of a variant band which proves now to be outside the zone of admixture. 相似文献

Isolation by distance (IBD) is a phenomenon characterized by increasing genetic divergence and decreasing gene flow with increasing
geographic distance. IBD is often used in conservation biology to infer the extent of gene flow among populations. An assumption
inherent to this approach is equilibrium between genetic drift and gene flow, which may take thousands of years to achieve.
This implies that empirical IBD studies of recently colonized areas, such as postglacial systems, should be concerned with
whether or not equilibrium has been reached. Short of equilibrium, IBD should increase with the length of time since a geographical
area was colonized. We test the prediction that IBD increases with increasing time since colonization through a meta-analysis
based on a diverse range of empirical systems. P and r
2 values from published IBD studies were analyzed with respect to time since colonization (in generations and years), taking
into account variation in sample sizes, molecular markers, divergence metrics (genetic distance, F
st, Nm), and dispersal patterns (one or two dimensional). Overall, we found weak evidence for associations between time since colonization
and IBD. Sample sizes, molecular markers, divergence metrics, and dispersal patterns did not appreciably influence IBD. We
propose that the expected relationship between IBD and time since colonization is obscured by the influence of other factors,
such as dispersal ability, geographical barriers, and proximity to glacial refugia. The possible effects of time since colonization
should continue to be evaluated in empirical studies, but other potential factors should also be thoroughly explored. 相似文献

Shifts in species distributions due to environmental change may affect the spatial pattern of genetic structure within a species' range, including possible changes to the adaptive potential of populations. We investigated spatial patterns of neutral genetic diversity and differentiation at the southern edge of the Canada lynx Lynx canadensis distribution in Ontario, Canada. We analyzed provincial fur harvest records (1972–2010) and collected and genotyped lynx pelt samples (2007–2009) from 702 lynx at 14 microsatellite loci. We show that the southern range boundary of lynx in central Canada has contracted northward by > 175 km since the 1970s, and that high winter temperature, low snow depth, and low proportion of suitable habitat are strongly correlated with low neutral genetic diversity and high genetic differentiation at the trailing range edge. Our work tests fundamental ideas about species range limits and demonstrates that environmental conditions can have a marked influence on neutral genetic structure. Our results suggest that changes in environmental conditions will result in further loss of genetic diversity and possibly reduce adaptive potential in southern peripheral lynx populations. 相似文献
