The D-loop regions in equine mitochondrial DNA were cloned from three thoroughbred horses by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The total number of bases in the D-loop region were 1114bp, 1115bp and 1146bp. The equine D-loop region is A/T rich like many other mammalian D-loops. The large central conserved sequence block and small conserved sequence blocks 1, 2 and 3, that are common to other mammals, were observed. Between conserved sequence blocks 1 and 2 there were tandem repeats of an 8bp equine-specific sequence TGTGCACC, and the number of tandem repeats differed among individual horses. The base composition in the unit of these repeats is G/C rich as are the short repeats in the D-loops of rabbit and pig. Comparing DNA sequences between horse and other mammals, the difference in the D-loop region length is mostly due to the difference in the number of DNA sequences at both extremities. The similarities of the DNA sequences are in the middle part of the D-loop. In comparison of the sequences among three thoroughbred horses, it was determined that the region between tRNAPro and the large central conserved sequence block was the richest in variation. PCR primers in the D-loop region were designed and the expected maternal inheritance was confirmed by PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism). 相似文献

Telomere-associated (TA) DNA sequences of the intracellular protozoan parasite Theileria parva were isolated by a novel strategy using a modified version of single-specific-primer polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR). Nucleotide sequences of non-coding TA DNA from three telomeres (6017bp, 2435bp and 4859bp) contained no extensive tracts of repetitive DNA. Long open reading frames (ORFs) were present at the centromeric ends of two of the TA sequences, the 3' ends of the closest ORFs being only 2670bp and 2719bp from the telomeric repeats. There were regions of significant similarity between the nucleotide sequences of the non-coding regions of different telomeres. The longest region of similarity was a virtually identical 1650bp domain, located directly adjacent to the telomeric repeats of two separate telomeres. Comparison of the telomere proximal sequences defined in this study and two additional T. parva telomeres, whose sequences were determined previously, resulted in identification of a single copy 141bp conserved sequence directly adjacent to the telomeric repeats. The conserved sequence is present at all five T. parva telomeres that have been characterised. The only organism currently known to have a single copy conserved sequence located adjacent to the telomeric repeats is another intracellular protozoan, Leishmania braziliensis. 相似文献

The complete A+T - rich region of Aedes aegypti mitochondrial DNA has been cloned and sequenced. In Argentinean populations of the species, a polymorphism in the length of the amplified fragment was observed. Nucleotide sequence comparison of the shortest and longest A+T - rich amplified fragments detected revealed the presence of 2 types of tandemly repeated blocks. The size variation observed in natural populations is mainly due to the presence of a variable number of a 181 bp tandem repeat unit, located toward the 12S rRNA gene end. The size of the longest A+T - rich region was of 2070 bp, representing the largest control sequence reported for any mosquito species. Few relevant short blocks of primary-sequence similarity conserved in the control region of mosquitoes and other insects were detected scattered throughout the whole region. Five putative stem-loop secondary structures were found, one of them flanked by conserved sequences described in other insects. Our results suggest that there are no universal models of structure-function relations in the control region of insect mtDNA. In addition, we identified a short A+T - rich variable segment in the Ae. aegyti control region that would be suitable for population genetic studies. 相似文献

Sequence, organization, and evolution of the A+T region of Drosophila melanogaster mitochondrial DNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The long (4.6-kb) A+T region of Drosophila melanogaster mitochondrial DNA
has been cloned and sequenced. The A+T region is organized in two large
arrays of tandemly repeated DNA sequence elements, with nonrepetitive
intervening and flanking sequences comprising only 22% of its length. The
first repeat array consists of five repeats of 338-373 bp. The second
consists of four intact 464-bp repeats and a fifth partial repeat of 137
bp. Three DNA sequence elements are found to be highly conserved in D.
melanogaster and in several Drosophila species with short A+T regions.
These include a 300-bp DNA sequence element that overlaps the DNA
replication origin and two thymidylate stretches identified on opposite DNA
strands. We conclude that the length heterogeneity observed in the A+T
regulatory region in mitochondrial DNAs from the genus Drosophila results
from the expansion (and contraction) of the number of repeated DNA sequence
elements. We also propose that the 300-bp conserved DNA sequence element,
in conjunction with another primary sequence determinant, perhaps the
adjacent thymidylate stretch, functions in the regulation of mitochondrial
DNA replication.

This paper reports an intraorder study on the D-loop-containing region of the mitochondrial DNA in rodents. A complete multialignment
of this region is not feasible with the exception of some conserved regions. The comparative analysis of 25 complete rodent
sequences from 23 species plus one lagomorph has revealed that only the central domain (CD), a conserved region of about 80
bp in the extended termination-associated sequences (ETAS) domain, adjacent to the CD, the ETAS1, and conserved sequence block
(CSB) 1 blocks are present in all rodent species, whereas the presence of CSB2 and CSB3 is erratic within the order. We have
also found a conserved region of 90 bp located between tRNAPro and ETAS1 present in fat dormouse, squirrel, guinea pig, and
rabbit. Repeated sequences are present in both the ETAS and the CSB domain, but the repeats differ in length, copy number,
and base composition in different species. The potential use of the D-loop for evolutionary studies has been investigated;
the presence/absence of conserved blocks and/or repeated sequences cannot be used as a reliable phylogenetic marker, since
in some cases they may be shared by distantly related organisms but not by close ones, while in other ones a relationship
between tree topology and presence/absence of such motifs is observed. Better results can be obtained by the use of the CD,
which, however, due to its reduced size, when used for tracing a phylogenetic tree, shows some nodes with low statistical
support.

Human 7SL RNA consists of a 140 nucleotide middle-repetitive sequence inserted in an alu sequence 总被引:43,自引:0,他引:43
We have cloned and sequenced a cDNA copy of in vitro-polyadenylated 7SL RNA of HeLa cells. The cloned fragment is 303 bp long and has a composite structure. A central block of 140 bp is homologous to a new set of human middle-repetitive sequences. This block appears to be inserted in an Alu consensus sequence, 100 bp from the 5' end and 40 bp from the 3' end of the Alu monomer. Two 6 bp direct repeats are found at the junction between the Alu flanking sequences and the central element. The analysis of several clones shows the existence of sequence microheterogeneity in the 5' portion of the molecule. The 7L DNA probably represents a subset of the Alu family of DNA, highly conserved in evolution. 相似文献

Initial amplification and sequencing of a 366-bp fragment of the cytochrome b gene by a conserved primer pair (MVZ 03 and MVZ 04) revealed a nonfunctional copy of the gene with two deletions (one of which is 17 bp in length and the other of which is 3 bp in length) in Chroeomys jelskii, a South American akodontine rodent. By means of an alternative primer to MVZ 03--namely, MVZ 05--from the region of the tRNA for glutamic acid, a functional copy of cytochrome b was subsequently amplified. Both primer pairs amplify functional sequence when applied to purified mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Restriction-endonuclease digestion of purified mtDNA from C. jelskii did not reveal any additional sets of bands that would suggest heteroplasmy in the mitochondrial genome. When probed with both functional and nonfunctional gene fragments, MboI restriction digests revealed the same pattern, providing further evidence that the nonfunctional copy must be located in the nucleus. Observed differences in the mitochondrial and nuclear sequences from two populations are consistent with a faster rate of change in mtDNA than in nuclear DNA. 相似文献

The sequences of the displacement-loop (D-loop) regions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from mouse L cells and human KB cells have been determined and provide physical maps to aid in the identification of sequences involved in the regulation of replication and expression of mammalian mtDNA. Both D-loop regions are bounded by the genes for tRNAPhe and tRNAPro. This region contains the most highly divergent sequences in mtDNA with the exceptions of three small conserved sequence blocks near the 5' ends of D-loop strands, a 225 nucleotide conserved sequence block in the center of the D-loop strand template region, and a short sequence associated with the 3' ends of D-loop strands. A sequence similar to that associated with the 3' termini of D-loop strands overlaps one of the conserved sequence blocks near the 5' ends of D-loop strands. The large, central conserved sequence probably does not code for a protein since no open reading frames are discretely conserved. Numerous symmetric sequences and potential secondary structures exist in these sequences, but none appear to be clearly conserved between species. 相似文献

We have cloned and sequenced the displacement-loop (D-loop) region of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from the European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax (Dl). This sequencing revealed the presence of four tandemly repeated elements (R1, R2, R3 and R4); the individual variation in mtDNA total length is entirely accounted for by their variable number. The individuals examined also possessed an imperfect copy of one of the tandem repeats (ΨR2). At least one termination-associated sequence (TAS) is present in each of the repeats and in two copies 5′ upstream from the tandem array as well. The alignment of the Dl D-loop region with D-loop sequences from four other Teleosts and one Chondrosteus showed the Dl sequence to be larger than that of other fish. The extraordinary length of the D1 D-loop sequence is also due to the 5′ and 3′ regions that are flanking the tandem array, the largest ones to date analyzed in fish. In this study, we also report the unique organization and localization of putative TAS and conserved-sequence block (CSB) elements, and the presence of a conserved 218-bp sequence in the D1 D-loop region. 相似文献

We have cloned and sequenced the telomeric DNA of the linear mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of T. thermophila BVII. The mtDNA telomeres consist of a 53 bp sequence tandemly repeated from 4 to 30 times, with most molecules having 15 ± 4 repetitions. The previously recognized terminal heterogeneity of the mtDNA is completely accounted for by the variability in the number of repeats. The 53 bp repeat does not resemble known telomeric DNA in sequence, repeat size, or number of repetitions. The termini occur at heterogeneous positions within the 53 bp repeat. The junction of the telomeric repeat with the internal DNA is at a different position within the telomeric repeat on each end of the mtDNA. We propose a model for the maintenance of the mtDNA ends involving unequal homologous recombination. 相似文献

In the large spacer of the rDNA of Vicia faba, multiples of a 0.32 kilobasepair (kb) sequence reiterate to various degrees. We sequenced the repetitious region consisting of the repeating sequences and its flanking regions using two cloned plasmids, which contain V. faba rDNA segments encompassing the whole region of the large spacer. The repetitious region was found to consist of multiple complete copies and one truncated copy of a 325 bp repeat unit and to be flanked by direct repeat sequences of about 150 bp. The set of direct repeats located at either side of the repetitious region differed from each other with about 10% sequence heterogeneity. However, nucleotide sequences of the direct repeats were well conserved between the two clones examined. Southern blot hybridization indicated a widespread distribution within the whole V. faba genome of some related sequences with high homologies to the 325 bp repeat unit and to the direct repeats. 相似文献

Origin and evolution of homologous repeated sequences in the mitochondrial DNA control region of shrews 总被引:14,自引:3,他引:11
The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region was amplified and
directly sequenced in two species of shrew, Crocidura russula and Sorex
araneus (Insectivora, Mammalia). The general organization is similar to
that found in other mammals: a central conserved region surrounded by two
more variable domains. However, we have found in shrews the simultaneous
presence of arrays of tandem repeats in potential locations where repeats
tend to occur separately in other mammalian species. These locations
correspond to regions which are associated with a possible interruption of
the replication processes, either at the end of the three-stranded D-loop
structure or toward the end of the heavy-strand replication. In the left
domain the repeated sequences (R1 repeats) are 78 bp long, whereas in the
right domain the repeats are 12 bp long in C. russula and 14 bp long in S.
araneus (R2 repeats). Variation in the copy number of these repeated
sequences results in mtDNA control region length differences. Southern blot
analysis indicates that level of heteroplasmy (more than one mtDNA form
within an individual) differs between species. A comparative study of the
R2 repeats in 12 additional species representing three shrew subfamilies
provides useful indications for the understanding of the origin and the
evolution of these homologous tandemly repeated sequences. An asymmetry in
the distribution of variants within the arrays, as well as the constant
occurrence of shorter repeated sequences flanking only one side of the R2
arrays, could be related to asymmetry in the replication of each strand of
the mtDNA molecule. The pattern of sequence and length variation within and
between species, together with the capability of the arrays to form stable
secondary structures, suggests that the dominant mechanism involved in the
evolution of these arrays in unidirectional replication slippage.

Two recombinant plasmids containing, respectively, three and eight tandem repeats of a 177 base-pair (bp) element from radish nuclear DNA have been isolated. These plasmids were used as probes to investigate the organization and the copy number of this element within the genome. This sequence is present in congruent to 0.6 million copies. Restriction analysis provides evidence for sequence heterogeneity and reveals the occurrence of non-overlapping subfamilies. Nine units were sequenced and found to be remarkably conserved. However, sequences in the two clones clearly belong to two distinct subgroups. Our data suggest that these sequences evolved in a concerted manner and that homogenization mechanisms such as gene conversions certainly took place. The 177 bp sequence is made from three 60 bp blocks that are derived from a common ancestor. Exchanges between the three blocks probably occurred before they became fixed as a patchwork of short sequences, the 177 bp element. This unit of 177 bp was then amplified in several steps. The presence of such a repeated sequence can be detected in other Cruciferae when hybridizations are carried out under low stringency conditions. Direct comparison with a previously published mustard satellite DNA sequence indicates a similar organization and a 75% homology. Homology was also found with shorter regions (congruent to 60 bp) of broad bean and corn satellite DNA. Finally, homology was also found with several animal alphoid sequences, suggesting that this family also occurs in the plant genomes. 相似文献

Summary A 370 base pair (bp) fragment of R1162 DNA encoding the incompatibility determinant has been cloned and sequenced. The DNA is located between 6.1 and 6.5 on the R1162 map, near the origin of replication. The sequence contains three perfectly conserved 20 bp direct repeats, with 11 bp of this sequence repeated a fourth time. The direct repeat unit shows some homology with that of another, unrelated broad host-range plasmid, RK2. The cloned DNA has two other properties: it lowers the copy number of R1162 when cloned into this plasmid, and it is required in cis for replication of R1162 satellite plasmids. 相似文献

Molecular variation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was investigated for rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) of Bangladesh. A partial sequence (583–599 bp) of mtDNA containing the second variable region of the D-loop was compared
for 39 individuals from five localities in the country. A total of seven haplotypes were detected with substitutional or insertion/deletion
mutations. They contained a unique polymorphism of pentanucleotide STRs (short tandem repeats). There were at least four different
length types, from two to five repeats of the unit nucleotide. One site of substitution and one site of single nucleotide
insertion/deletion were also involved in the polymorphism. The mutation hot spots of the STR polymorphism were located between
the first and second conserved sequence blocks (CSB1 and CSB2), as observed previously in some other mammals. The geographical
distribution of the STR polymorphism revealed local differences; the northeastern population was polymorphic with three STR
haplotypes, but other local populations were simply monomorphic with a single STR haplotype. Molecular phylogenetic analysis
with reported sequences from outside Bangladesh indicated a low substitution diversity of mtDNA in Bangladesh. Clustering
results suggested a close relationship to India and divergence from Laos and China. 相似文献

A tandemly repeated sequence within the genome of vaccinia virus is cut to fragments of approximately 70 bp by Hinf I, Taq I or Mbo II. The 70 bp repetition was localized within the much larger (10,300 bp) inverted terminal repetition by restriction analysis of cloned DNA fragments and by hybridization of the purified 70 bp repeat to vaccinia virus DNA restriction fragments. The molar abundance of the 70 bp fragment corresponds to a 30 fold repetition at each end of the genome. The repeating restriction endonuclease sites were mapped by agarose gel electrophoresis of partial Hinf I digests of the terminally labeled cloned DNA fragment. The first of 13 repetitive Hinf I sites occurred approximately 150 bp from the end of the cloned DNA. After an intervening sequence of approximately 435 bp, a second series of 17 repetitive Hinf I sites occurred. The DNA between the two blocks of repetitions has a unique sequence containing single Dde I, Alu I and Sau 3A sites. Tandem repeats within the inverted terminal repetition could serve to accelerate self-annealing of single strands of DNA to form circular structures during replication. 相似文献

An analysis of a 29-kilobase nontranscribed spacer fragment in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of the house cricket, Acheta domesticus, revealed a highly repetitious structure. A total of eight EcoRI repeats of three different size classes measuring 259, 420, and 508 base pairs (bp) was mapped to a region 2 kilobases (kb) from the 18 S coding region. The repeats were oriented in a nonrandom manner and had sequences homologous to DNA located immediately adjacent to the repetitive array. DNA sequence analysis showed that the repetitive region was composed of smaller direct repeats 66, 67, and 383 bp in length. There was minor length heterogeneity of the chromosomal restriction fragments containing the entire array, indicating that a variable number of EcoRI repeats is a minor contributor to the total repeat-unit length heterogeneity. Immediately upstream from the EcoRI array there is a 17-kb region composed of 50 to 60 subrepeat elements recognized by a variety of restriction endonucleases. A subcloned SmaI repeat from the array was not homologous to any other part of the rDNA repeat unit or other chromosomal DNA. There was little length heterogeneity in restriction fragments containing the chromosomal 17-kb repetitions region. Immediately upstream from the 17-Kb region there is a 4.1-kb segment with sequences homologous to the EcoRI repeats. 相似文献
