水稻减数分裂染色体分析方法

减数分裂粗线期染色体研究技术的发展, 很大程度上克服了水稻(Oryza sativa)细胞遗传研究中较小染色体所带来的研究困难。减数分裂染色体的制备与观察已经成为水稻细胞遗传学研究中的常规方法。该文详细描述了水稻中常用的减数分裂染色体制备、荧光原位杂交和免疫荧光染色的实验方法。     

水稻减数分裂过程中染色体重组交换行为

减数分裂在有性生物的生命周期中起着非常重要的作用,其过程高度保守。减数分裂过程中,染色体配对、联会和重组是遗传变异的源泉、有性生物进化的推动力,也是减数分裂研究的热点之一。在植物减数分裂研究中,还不可能直接观察到染色体在减数分裂过程中的交换情况,往往是通过交换后群体的遗传分析来推测。文章通过图示基因型方法分析了来自花药培养的32个水稻双单倍体(DH)株系,发现少数株系某些染色体部分区段为杂合状态,并利用STS分子标记对杂合状态的真实性进行了验证,推测杂合区段的出现可能与染色体的修复不完全或修复错误有关。研究结果为解释植物减数分裂的机理提供了直接证据。     

水稻减数分裂同源染色体分离机制研究新进展

与有丝分裂不同,减数分裂染色体复制一次,细胞分裂两次。这种质的差异与染色体臂上及着丝粒处黏着蛋白的分步消失有关。染色体臂上黏着蛋白在减数第一次分裂消失是保证同源染色体分离的前提;而着丝粒处黏着蛋白的维持是保证姊妹染色单体在减数第二次分裂才相互分开。shugoshin是一个着丝粒定位的蛋白,其主要功能是保护姊妹染色单体着丝粒区域黏着蛋白在减数第一次分裂过程中不被降解。shugoshin蛋白在真核生物中具有较高的保守性,上世纪90年代在果蝇中首先发现了shugoshin蛋白(Mei-S332),然而其功能在不同物种中有了进一步分化。

减数分裂中染色体不分离与染色体病

Meiotic Transverse Filament Proteins: Essential for Crossing Over

Meiosis is a specialized set of two nuclear divisions, meiosis I and II, by which a diploid cell produces four haploid daughters. After premeiotic DNA replication, homologous chromosomes pair and recombine, and then disjoin at meiosis I. Subsequently, at meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome segregate. In nearly all eukaryotes, meiotic chromosome pairing culminates in the formation of a ladderlike supramolecular protein structure, the synaptonemal complex (SC) (Page and Hawley, 2004). The rungs of the ladder are known as transverse filaments (TFs). Genes encoding TF proteins have been identified in a limited number of organisms, and their function has been studied by mutational analysis. Although TF proteins show little amino acid sequence conservation, their structure and function are largely conserved. In all analyzed species, TF proteins are required for meiotic reciprocal recombination (crossing over).     

Synaptonemal Complex Proteins: Specific Proteins of Meiotic Chromosomes

The review considers proteins of the synaptonemal complex (SC), a specific structure formed between homologous chromosomes in maturing germline cells during meiotic prophase I. The structure and functions are described for proteins that form ultrastructural SC elements in mammals, in yeast, and in higher plants. The roles of cohesins and of the SC proteins in meiotic sister-chromatid cohesion are considered. Though still scarce, data are summarized on the SC self-assembly and dissociation and on the molecular composition of SC-associated recombination nodules, which provide a compartment for meiotic recombination enzymes. The accumulating data on the SC molecular components and on their structure, properties, and interactions improve the understanding of the SC function.     

Physical Mapping of Rice Chromosomes 4 and 7 Using YAC Clones

Physical maps of rice chromosomes 4 and 7 were constructed bylanding yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) along our high-densitymolecular linkage map. Using 114 DNA markers, 258 individualYACs were located on chromosome 4. Sixty-two out of 258 YACscarried two or more DNA marker positions and formed 16 contigswhich covered a total length of 17.1 cM. The other YACs werearranged to 23 positions. On chromosome 7, 203 individual YACswere landed on 109 DNA markers. Sixty-four out of 203 YACs formed15 contigs which covered a total length of 21.8 cM and 139 YACswere localized to 26 positions. Chromosomes 4 and 7 were coveredwith minimum tiling paths of 45 and 48 YACs, respectively. Takingthe average size of YAC insert DNA to be 350 kb and the entiregenome size to be 430 Mb, about 16–18 Mb of each chromosomeor an estimated 50% of their total lengths have been coveredwith YACs. Physical maps of these 2 chromosomes should be ofgreat help in identifying useful trait genes and unravelinggenetic and biological characteristics in rice.     

Ordered YAC Clone Contigs Assigned to Rice Chromosomes 3 and 11

Yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones were arranged on thepositions of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)and sequence-tagged site (STS) markers already mapped on thehigh-resolution genetic maps of rice chromosomes 3 and 11. Froma total of 416 and 242 YAC clones selected by colony/Southernhybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis,238 and 135 YAC clones were located on chromosomes 3 and 11,respectively. For chromosomes 3 and 11, 24 YAC contigs and islandswith total coverage of about 46% and 12 contigs and islandswith coverage of about 40%, respectively, were assigned. Althoughmany DNA fragments of multiple copy marker sequences could notbe mapped to their original locations on the genetic map bySouthern hybridization because of a lack of RFLP, the physicalmapping of YAC clones could often assign specific locationsof such multiple copy sequences on the genome. The informationprovided here on contig formation and similar sequence distributionrevealed by ordering YAC clones will help to unravel the genomeorganization of rice as well as being useful in isolation ofgenes by map-based cloning.     

Identification of Chromosomes from Multiple Rice Genomes Using a Universal Molecular Cytogenetic Marker System

To develop reliable techniques for chromosome identification is critical for cytogenetic research, especially for genomes with a large number and smaller-sized chromosomes. An efficient approach using bacterial artificial chromosome （BAC） clones as molecular cytological markers has been developed for many organisms. Herein, we present a set of chromosomal arm-specific molecular cytological markers derived from the gene-enriched regions of the sequenced rice genome. All these markers are able to generate very strong signals on the pachytene chromosomes of Oryza sativa L. （AA genome） when used as fluorescence in situ hybridization （FISH） probes. We further probed those markers to the pachytene chromosomes of O. punctata （BB genome） and O. officinalis （CC genome） and also got very strong signals on the relevant pachytene chromosomes. The signal position of each marker on the related chromosomes from the three different rice genomes was pretty much stable, which enabled us to identify different chromosomes among various rice genomes. We also constructed the karyotype for both O. punctata and O. officinalis with the BB and CC genomes, respectively, by analysis of 10 pachytene cells anchored by these chromosomal arm-specific markers.

Assignment of YAC Clones Spanning Rice Chromosomes 10 and 12

Yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones were assigned on rice(Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) chromosomes 10 and 12 usingDNA markers from our high-density linkage map. Out of 1,383markers localized in this genetic map, 68 and 74 markers werelocated on chromosomes 10 and 12, respectively. Screening ofthe YAC genomic library was conducted by colony hybridizationand Southern hybridization using restriction fragment lengthpolymorphism (RFLP) markers or by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) using sequence-tagged site (STS) markers. We have completedthe screening of 68 markers on chromosome 10 and 74 markerson chromosome 12. A total of 134 and 103 YACs were assignedto chromosomes 10 and 12, respectively, with an estimated coverageof more than 60% for chromosome 10 and about 47% for chromosome12. As rice is considered a model plant for genome analysis,the ordered YAC clones on chromosomes 10 and 12 as well as otherchromosomes will certainly be helpful for isolation of agronomicallyand biologically important genes and for understanding the genomestructure of these chromosomes.
