Two independent isolates of a Bordetella pertussis repeated DNA unit were sequenced and shown to be an insertion sequence element with five nucleotide differences between the two copies. The sequences were 1053 bp in length with near-perfect terminal inverted repeats of 28 bp, had three open reading frames, and were each flanked by short direct repeats. The two insertion sequences showed considerable homology to two other B. pertussis repeated DNA sequences reported recently: IS481 and a 530 bp repeated DNA unit. The B. pertussis insertion sequence would appear to comprise a group of closely related sequences differing mainly in flanking direct repeats and the terminal inverted repeats. The two isolates reported here, which were from the adenylate cyclase and agglutinogen 2 regions of the genome, were numbered IS48lvl and IS48lv2 respectively. 相似文献

Isolation of a repeated DNA sequence from Bordetella pertussis 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
A repeated DNA sequence in the genome of Bordetella pertussis has been demonstrated. At least 20 copies of this sequence could be observed in either BamHI or EcoRI restriction enzyme digests of chromosomal DNA; fragments carrying the repeated DNA sequence ranged in size from about 1.5 to 20 kbp. The repeated DNA sequence was cloned from two separate regions of the B. pertussis genome, as shown by restriction enzyme site maps of the two clones and by hybridization studies. A small number of differences in the pattern of hybridization of the repeated DNA sequence to chromosomal DNA from several strains of B. pertussis was observed. No repeated DNA sequences were observed in one strain each of B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica, and there was no hybridization of B. pertussis DNA to Escherichia coli chromosomal DNA. The repeated DNA sequence was subcloned on a 2.54 kbp BamHI fragment from one of the two original clones. Restriction enzyme digests and hybridization studies showed that the repeated DNA sequence was about 1 kbp in size and had a single, internal ClaI site. 相似文献

The genomic representation and organization of sequences homologous to a cloned Hind III 1.9 kb repeated DNA fragment were studied. Approximately 80% of homologous repeated DNA was contained in a genomic Hind III cleavage band of 1.9 kb. Double digestion studies indicated that the genomic family, in the majority, followed the arrangement of the sequenced clone, with minor restriction cleavage variations compatible with a few base changes. Common restriction sites external to the 1.9 kb sequence were mapped, and hybridization of segments of the cloned sequence indicated the 1.9 kb DNA was itself not tandemly repeated. Kpn I bands which were homologous to the sequence contained specific regions of the repeat, and the molecular weight of these larger fragments could be simply explained. Mapping of common external restriction sites indicated that in some but not all cases the repeat could be organized in larger defined blocks of greater than or equal to 5.5 kb. In some instances, flanking regions adjacent to the repeat may contain common DNA elements such as other repeated DNA sequences, or possibly rearranged segments of the 1.9 kb sequence. It is suggested that although the 1.9 kb sequence is not strictly contiguous, at least some of these repeated sequences in the human genome are arranged in clustered or intercalary arrays. A region of the 1.9 kb sequence hybridized to a mouse repeated DNA, indicating homology beyond the primates. 相似文献

Abstract A subclone of plasmid p14B8 containing the major part of a 23S rRNA gene of Bacillus subtilis was constructed and designated pJK1. Labeled plasmid pJK1 could be used as a DNA probe with conserved gene sequences. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments between filter-bound DNA from various bacteria and labeled pJK1 showed a good correlation between oligonucleotide sequence analysis of 16S rRNA and DNA homology values. Application of suboptimal or stringent hybridization conditions and an additional short incubation under the same conditions following hybridization yielded the best data for differentiating organisms related to B. subtilis from less or non-related bacteria. 相似文献

EcoRI subclones, designated as 50E1 and 50E4, were independently obtained from a cosmid clone previously mapped to the centromeric region of human chromosome 8. Southern blot hybridization analyses suggested that both subclones contain repetitive DNA sequences different from the chromosome 8 specific alphoid DNA. DNA sequence analysis of the 704 bp insert of 50E1 and the 1, 962 bp insert of 50E4 revealed that both inserts contained tandemly repeated units of 220 bp. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies confirmed these two subclones to be specifically located on the centromeric region of chromosome 8. A 220 bp consensus sequence, derived from nine monomeric repeats, showed no significant homology to alphoid consensus sequences or to other currently known human centromeric DNA sequence. Furthermore, no significant homology was found with any other DNA sequence deposited in the EMBL or GenBank databases, indicating that this chromosome 8 specific repetitive DNA sequence is novel. From slot blot experiments it was estimated that 0.013% of the human genome comprises 1,750 of these monomeric repeats, residing on the centromeric region of chromosome 8 in tandem array(s). 相似文献

Sequence organization of the human genome 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The organization of three sequence classes—single copy, repetitive, and inverted repeated sequences—within the human genome has been studied by renaturation techniques, hydroxylapatite binding methods, and DNA hyperchromism. Repetitive sequence classes are distributed throughout 80% or more of the genome. Slightly more than half of the genome consists of short single copy sequences, with a length of about 2 kb interspersed with repetitive sequences. The average length of the repetitive sequences is also small and approximates the length of these sequences found in other organisms. The sequence organization of the human genome therefore resembles the sequence organization found in Xenopus and sea urchin. The inverted repeats are essentially randomly positioned with respect to both sequence class and sequence arrangement, so that all three sequence classes are found to be mutually interspersed in a portion of the genome. 相似文献

Two types (MIR and Alu) of short interspersed repeated DNA sequences (SINEs) were used for analysis of genetic relationships among higher primates, and for detection of polymorphism in human genomic DNA. The DNA regions located between the neighboring copies of these SINEs were amplified in polymerase chain reaction with primers complementary to the MIR and Alu consensus sequences (inter-SINE PCR). Comparison of the sets of amplified DNA fragments for different species or individuals provides evaluation of the relationships among them. Using inter-MIR PCR technique, the relationships among the higher primates of the infraorder Catarrhini reported elsewhere were confirmed, pointing to the efficiency of the method for phylogenetic studies. No human DNA polymorphism was revealed with the help of inter-MIR PCR. This polymorphism was detected by means of inter-Alu PCR, which is probably associated with the continuing amplification of Alu elements in human genome. 相似文献

A large number of copies of the sequence (dTG-dAC)n, where n is between 10 and 60, exist in the human genome, and many are useful as polymorphic markers. One of these sequences occurs about 3 kilobases 5' of the human apolipoprotein (apo) B gene as seven distinguishable alleles containing from (TG)12 to (TG)18. This repeat is also present in the DNA of other primates. A second alternating purine-pyrimidine sequence with nine dinucleotide repeats and located in intron 4 is not polymorphic. Together with the apoB hypervariable repeat immediately 3' of the gene, the (TG)n sequence will provide a useful haplotype marker capable of distinguishing a large number of human apoB alleles, some of which may be associated with disease states. 相似文献

Four human hepatoma cell lines established from primary hepatocellular carcinomas were examined for the presence of hepatitis B virus DNA sequences. Reassociation kinetic analysis indicated that the cell lines HEp-3B 217, HEp-3B 14, HEp-3B F1, and PLC/PRF/5 contained two, one, one, and four genome equivalents per cell, respectively. Southern blot hybridization analysis demonstrated that hepatitis B virus DNA was integrated into the cellular DNAs of these cell lines. Further liquid hybridization studies with 32P-labeled HincII restriction fragments of hepatitis B virus DNA established that DNA sequences from all regions of the HBV genome were represented in the integrated viral sequences. Although the three HEp-3B cell lines were derived from the same tumor, they differed significantly in their patterns of integration of hepatitis B virus DNA, the number of copies of viral DNA per cell, and their ability to produce the virus-coded surface antigen. 相似文献

Summary Clones carrying thewhite andtopaz eye color genes have been isolated from genomic DNA libraries of the blowflyLucilia cuprina using cloned DNA from the homologouswhite andscarlet genes. respectively, ofDrosophila melanogaster as probes. On the basis of hybridization studies using adjacent restriction fragments, homologous fragments were found to be colinear between the genes from the two species. The nucleotide sequence of a short region of thewhite gene ofL. cuprina has been determined, and the homology to the corresponding region ofD. melanogaster is 72%; at the derived amino acid level the homology is greater (84%) due to a marked difference in codon usage between the species. A major difference in genome organization between the two species is that whereas the DNA encompassing theD. melanogaster genes is free of repeated sequences. that encompassing theirL. cuprina counterparts contains substantial amounts of repeated sequences. This suggests that the genome ofL. cuprina is organized on the short period interspersion pattern. Repeated sequence DNA elements, which appear generally to be short (less than 1 kb) and which vary in repetitive frequency in the genome from greater than 104 copies to less than 102 copies, are found in at least two different locations in the clones carrying these genes. One type of repeat structure, found by sequencing, consists of tandemly repeating short sequences. Restriction site and restriction fragment length polymorphisms involving both thewhite andtopaz gene regions are found within and between populations ofL. cuprina. 相似文献

An unusually long repeated DNA sequence was identified in cloned DNA, three kb 3' to the human beta-globin gene. Other members of this repeated sequence family were isolated from a human genomic DNA library and characterized by Southern blotting techniques, electron microscopy, and solution hybridization. The copy located next to the beta-globin gene was found to be 6.4 +/- 0.2 kb long and continuous over that length. This repeated sequence family comprises about 1% of the human genome and contains 3000-4800 copies of moderate sequence divergence which are interspersed with other less-highly repeated DNA. The 6.4 kb repeated unit does not appear to be composed of any smaller tandemly repeated subunits, nor is it expressed at a high level in bone marrow cell RNA. 相似文献

The organization of the short dispersed repetitive sequences B1 and B2 in the mouse genome was investigated by hybridization of randomly selected genomic clones with isolated and labelled in vitro B1 and B2. Cloning and restriction mapping experiments indicated that these two DNA sequences were not entirely independently distributed along mouse DNA, but approximately half of them formed heterologous pairs separated by stretches of apparently random DNA. 相似文献

The majority of DNA that is found in most of the flowering plants appears to be non-coding DNA. Much of this excess DNA consists of nucleotide sequences which exist as multiple copies throughout the genome and are designated as repetitive sequences. Those sequences which are found in moderately high to high numbers of copies are observed to be of the greatest value as cytological markers. Moderately high copies may exist as sequences which are dispersed throughout the chromosomes of some species and not dispersed in other more distantly related species. By taking advantage of this characteristic and the technique of in situ hybridization with biotinylated probes, breakpoints of chromosomal translocations may be observed between species such as wheat and rye. Many of the high copy number repetitive sequences are organized in a tandem fashion in specific loci in the chromosome. Chromosomal identification may be accomplished by using the in situ hybridization technique. Upon in situ hybridization with a repetitive sequence isolated from Aegilops squarrosa, the patterns of the sites of hybridization allowed the D-genome chromosomes to be identified. The sequence was also observed only on the D-genome chromosomes of several polyploid species indicating its usefulness as a genome specific marker. Using this genome specificity, assessment of the orientation of the D-genome chromosomal segments of hexaploid wheat carrying the sequence during interphase and prophase of mitotic root tip cells was possible. Repetitive DNA sequences, therefore, provide cytological markers necessary for studies of chromosomal identification, genome allocation, and genome orientation. The use of biotin-labeled DNA probes allows the technique of in situ hybridization to be performed much more rapidly and with a greater degree of safety and reliability. 相似文献

Five new repetitive sequences have been isolated from theViciafabagenome, by cloning bands visible on agarose gel electrophoresisafter digestion of genomic DNA with various restriction enzymes.The sequences were 109 to 584 bp long, their abundance rangingfrom 5x104to 5x105copies per haploid genome. Southern blot andinsituhybridization revealed that four of five newly isolatedrepeats were dispersed in theV. fabagenome. One of the repeats(TIII15) showed tandem organization with several major hybridizationspots on mitotic chromosomesin situ.These sites were distributedin euchromatic as well as in heterochromatic chromosomal regions,and in several loci they were simultaneously localized withpreviously describedFokI repeated elements. The sequence ofTIII15 comprises four 2627 bp subrepeats, but sharesno homology toFokI elements which have similar sequence organization.All newly described sequences were highly specific forV. faba,withlittle or no hybridization to DNA of otherViciaspecies, andno hybridization to DNA of other legumes tested.Copyright 1999Annals of Botany Company Vicia faba, field bean, repeated DNA sequences, FISH, PRINS, genome organization, copy number. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene led to the identification and isolation of cDNA and genomic sequences that cross-hybridized to the first nucleotide binding fold of CFTR. DNA sequence analysis of these clones showed that the cross-hybridizing sequences corresponded to CFTR exon 9 and its flanking introns, juxtapositioned with two segments of LINE1 sequences. The CFTR sequence appeared to have been transcribed from the opposite direction of the gene, reversely transcribed, and co-integrated with the L1 sequences into a chromosome location distinct from that of the CFTR locus. Based on hybridization intensity and complexity of the restriction fragments, it was estimated that there were at least 10 copies of the “amplified” CFTR exon 9 sequences in the human genome. Furthermore, when DNA segments adjacent to the insertion site were used in genomic DNA blot hybridization analysis, multiple copies were also detected. The overall similarity between these CFTR exon 9-related sequences suggested that they were derived from a single retrotransposition event and subsequent sequence amplification. The amplification unit appeared to be greater than 30 kb. Physical mapping studies includingin situhybridization to human metaphase chromosomes showed that multiple copies of these amplified sequences (with and without the CFTR exon 9 insertion) were dispersed throughout the genome. These findings provide insight into the structure and evolution of the human genome. 相似文献

Isolation of yeast histone genes H2A and H2B 总被引:71,自引:0,他引:71
Analysis of cloned sequences for yeast histone genes H2A and H2B reveals that there are only two copies of this pair of genes within the haploid yeast genome. Within each copy, the genes for H2A and H2B are separated by approximately 700 bp of spacer DNA. The two copies are separated from one another in the yeast genome by a minimum distance of 35-60 kb. Sequence homology between the two copies is restricted to the genes for H2A and H2B; the spacer DNA between the genes is nonhomologous. In both copies, the genes for H2A and H2B are divergently transcribed. In addition, both plasmids code for other nonhistone proteins. Sequences coding for histones H3 and H4 have not been detected in the immediate vicinity of the genes for H2A and H2B. 相似文献

Repetitive DNA sequences in the rice genome comprise more than half of the nuclear DNA. The isolation and characterization of these repetitive DNA sequences should lead to a better understanding of rice chromosome structure and genome organization. We report here the characterization and chromosome localization of a chromosome 5-specific repetitive DNA sequence. This repetitive DNA sequence was estimated to have at least 900 copies. DNA sequence analysis of three genomic clones which contain the repeat unit indicated that the DNA sequences have two sub-repeat units of 37 bp and 19 bp, connected by 30-to 90-bp short sequences with high similarity. RFLP mapping and physical mapping by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) indicated that almost all copies of the repetitive DNA sequence are located in the centromeric heterochromatic region of the long arm of chromosome 5. The strategy for cloning such repetitive DNA sequences and their uses in rice genome research are discussed. 相似文献
