黄鳝染色体Ag—NORS多态性的研究

采用PHA活体处理直接制片,对黄鳝染色体进行Giemsa染色、C-带及Ag-NORs等相继系列研究。结果发现,黄鳝的染色体Ag-NORs具有明显的个体特异性的数目多态、分布多态和形态多态现象。11尾被检测个体中,多态特征可分为4种类型。位于第3或第7号染色体臂内的次缢痕是Ag-NORs所在的区域,该区域分布有大量的结构异染色质,即Ag-NORs与C-带强阳性呈现严格的同步对应。本文根据实验结果,对黄鳝AS-NORs多态性的发生机制及其与结构异染色质的关系进行了探讨。

采用原代和传代培养方法对8头毛冠鹿(Elaphodus cephalophus)的皮肤细胞进行了染色体研究,发现了一种核型与以前所报道的几种核型不一致,确定为一新核型。在该核型中,染色体众数2n=47,2条X染色体异型,一条为端着丝粒,另一条为近端着丝粒。C-带显示该核型中异染色质除了分布在2条X染色体长臂中之外,在第一对大的端着丝粒染色体中的一条近着丝粒区出现一异染色质“柄”。结合C-带及薄层扫描结果对毛冠鹿种内常染色体、性染色体中异染色质的含量和分布与染色体多态的关系进行了探讨。     

湖南等三地区东方田鼠遗传特性的分析比较

用染色体G带核型分析、生化位点、随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)标记等方法,对湖南洞庭湖湖滨、宁夏青铜峡市农田和黑龙江伊春市金山屯草甸3个地区的东方田鼠遗传特性进行了分析。结果表明,湖南和宁夏地区东方田鼠染色体数均为2N＝52,黑龙江东方田鼠染色体数则为2N＝42;生化位点结果显示3个地区的东方田鼠均呈遗传非均一性;湖南、宁夏和黑龙江鼠的个体间RAPD遗传距离分别为0．244（0．143—0．353)、0．226(0．161—0．294)、0．541(0.357—0．692)。湖南和宁夏两地区鼠种群间的遗传距离为0．367,湖南和宁夏鼠杂交一代与其亲代的RAPD遗传距离在0．310以下;但黑龙江鼠与湖南和宁夏鼠种群问的遗传距离分别为0．619和0．633。总的表明,3个地区的东方田鼠均呈遗传非均一性,但湖南与宁夏鼠在染色体、生化位点和RAPD标记等方面都具有相似性,并可杂交,而黑龙江鼠与其它两地的鼠不能杂交,且黑龙江鼠在遗传特性方面与前二地鼠有很大差异,因而后的“种”级分类地位值得进一步研究。

棕色田鼠罗伯逊易位的研究（简报）

The type of chromosome No. 1 and chromosome number from 53 individuals of Microtus mandarinus have been studied and compared in three sex types: XY, XX, XO. We found that the first pair of autosomes are very unstable, and there are three types: (1) M, M (With a double metacentric chromosome), (2) M, T, T, (With single metacentric chromosome). (3) T, T, T, T (Without metacentric chromosome). The chromosome number of the same sex individuals changes regularly with the type change of chromosome No. 1, that is, the increase of one chromosome in 2n number is always accompanied by the increase of two T and the decrease of one M, and vice versa. The synaptonemal complexes (SCs) of spermatocyte in pachytene nuclei from the males (2n = 51) were analysed by the electron microscopy. The SCs studies demonstrate that there are 23 fully paired autosomal bivalents, XY-bivalent and an autosomal trivalent. This trivalent is formed by one metacentric and two telocentric elements and characterized by the presence of two short side-arms. Meanwhile, all trivalents are in a cis configuration. The study of G-banding also demonstrates that the No. 1 autosome polymorphism is caused by Robertsonian translocation. Robertsonian fission is the main reason of the polymorphism of chromosome No. 1 and of variation of chromosome number in M. mandarinus.     

Numerical and structural variations of the X chromosomes and no. 2 autosomes in mandarin vole, Microtus mandarinus (Rodentia)

Here we describe our studies on Microtus mandarinus faeceus of Jiangyan in Jiangsu province of China. By karyotype and G-banding analysis we have found variation in chromosome number and polymorphisms of the X chromosome and the second pair of autosomes of the subspecies. Chromosome number of the subspecies is 2n=47-50. The subspecies has three kinds of chromosomal sex: XX, XO and XY, among which one of the X chromosomes is subtelocentric (X(ST)) and the other is metacentric (X(M)). After comparing karyotypes of different subspecies, we found the specific cytogenetic characteristics of Microtus mandarinus, that is they have three kinds of chromosomal sex: XX, XO and XY; X chromosomes are heteromorphic; the chromosome number of female individuals are one less than male individuals; chromosome number of XX individuals are equal to that of XO ones. We hypothesize that Robertsonian translocation is the main reason of the polymorphism of the second pair of autosomes and variety of chromosome number, and it also causes the chromosome number evolution in different subspecies of Microtus mandarinus.     

Recombination map of the common shrew, Sorex araneus (Eulipotyphla, Mammalia)

The Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus L.) is characterized by spectacular chromosomal variation, both autosomal variation of the Robertsonian type and an XX/XY(1)Y(2) system of sex determination. It is an important mammalian model of chromosomal and genome evolution as it is one of the few species with a complete genome sequence. Here we generate a high-precision cytological recombination map for the species, the third such map produced in mammals, following those for humans and house mice. We prepared synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads of meiotic chromosomes from 638 spermatocytes of 22 males of nine different Robertsonian karyotypes, identifying each autosome arm by differential DAPI staining. Altogether we mapped 13,983 recombination sites along 7095 individual autosomes, using immunolocalization of MLH1, a mismatch repair protein marking recombination sites. We estimated the total recombination length of the shrew genome as 1145 cM. The majority of bivalents showed a high recombination frequency near the telomeres and a low frequency near the centromeres. The distances between MLH1 foci were consistent with crossover interference both within chromosome arms and across the centromere in metacentric bivalents. The pattern of recombination along a chromosome arm was a function of its length, interference, and centromere and telomere effects. The specific DNA sequence must also be important because chromosome arms of the same length differed substantially in their recombination pattern. These features of recombination show great similarity with humans and mice and suggest generality among mammals. However, contrary to a widespread perception, the metacentric bivalent tu usually lacked an MLH1 focus on one of its chromosome arms, arguing against a minimum requirement of one chiasma per chromosome arm for correct segregation. With regard to autosomal chromosomal variation, the chromosomes showing Robertsonian polymorphism display MLH1 foci that become increasingly distal when comparing acrocentric homozygotes, heterozygotes, and metacentric homozygotes. Within the sex trivalent XY(1)Y(2), the autosomal part of the complex behaves similarly to other autosomes.     

东北马鹿和东北梅花鹿F_1杂种精母细胞联会复合体分析

作者以界面铺张-硝酸银染色技术,对东北马鹿和东北梅花鹿的F_1可育杂种的精母细胞联会复合体进行亚显微观察及分析。在减数分裂前期,杂种鹿精母细胞中形成31条完整的常染色体联会复合体、一个端着丝粒染色体/中着丝粒染色体的三价体和XY双价体。这进一步证明,两种亲本鹿的染色体具有高度的同源性,其差别仅在于一个罗伯逊易位。三价体的顺式构型可能和杂种鹿的可育性有关。

Exclusion of Sall 4 as the sex-determining gene in the Mandarin vole Microtus mandarinus mandarinus

In previous studies, we have shown that the Sry HMG-box is absent in Microtus mandarinus mandarinus (M. m. mandarinus), suggesting that sex determination of M. m. mandarinus is independent of the Sry gene. We amplified a 312 bp fragment within exon 2 of the Sall4 gene in the mouse and M. m. mandarinus using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and detected Sall4 using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. The probes for the Sall4 gene were labeled with digoxigenin using PCR and hybridized to chromosomes and interphase nuclei of the mouse and M. m. mandarinus. Our results suggested that Sall4 exists in the genome of male and female M. m. mandarinus, and the sequence within exon 2 of the gene is the same in the mouse and M. m. mandarinus. The results also showed that Sall4 is localized on chromosome 6 in M. m. mandarinus. As they are the sex chromosomes in M. m. mandarinus, the results excluded the Sall4 gene from being the testis-determining factor in this species. We propose that in M. m. mandarinus, sex determination is controlled by another yet unknown gene on the sex chromosomes.     

The origin of the genetical diversity of Microtus mandarinus chromosomes

Here we describe our comparative studies on two types of X chromosomes, namely X(M) and X(SM,) of the mandarin vole (Microtus mandarinus). By chromosome G- and C-banding analysis, we have found that two different types of X chromosomes exist in mandarin voles. The two types of X chromosomes present two different G- and C-banding patterns: the X(M) chromosome is a longer metacentric X chromosome which is C-band negative; and the X(SM) is a shorter submetacentric X chromosome which has one C-band at the centromere and another one at the middle part of the short arm. The X(SM) has 6 G-bands including one on the kinetochore, one in the middle of the short arm, and four on the long arm. The X(M) has 7 G-bands including one on the kinetochore, two on the short arm, and four on the long arm. We have further found that female voles can be grouped into three types based on the composition of the X chromosome but the male voles have only one type. The three female groups are: (1) female voles (X(M)X(SM)), in which the two X chromosomes are different, the longer one is metacentric and the shorter is submetacentric; (2) female vole (X(SM)X(SM)), in which the two X chromosomes are both submetacentric; (3) female vole (X(M)O), in which there is only one X chromosome that is metacentric. Surprisingly, we have never found female voles with X(M)X(M), females with X(SM)O or males with X(M)Y. We hypothesize that the X(SM) chromosome is derived from the X(M) through its breakage and re-joining. The paper also discusses the formation of X(M)O females.
