In addition to a unique tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid, the plant pathogenic bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens has an unconventional chromosomal organization. Our previous studies on A. tumefaciens MAFF301001 revealed that it possesses a 2 Mb linear and a 2.8 Mb circular chromosome plus a 206.479 kbp Ti plasmid (pTi-SAKURA). In this study, a linkage map for the left half of its linear chromosome covering a 900 kbp region was constructed and the number of potential genes existing in the region was estimated. The linkage map consists of 31 BAC and 8 lambda phage recombinants without any gaps. It confirmed the size and all the structural landmarks indicated in the corresponding region of our previously constructed physical map for the linear chromosome. Sequencing analysis of the end-regions of each linking clone led to the identification of 6 genes and another 27 potential genes or ORFs, including genes and/or gene clusters responsible for homologous recombination (ruvB), trehalose/maltose sugar transport (thuR, thuG) and alanine catabolism (dadR). Two virulence-related gene homologues (attK and celB), previously reported in the circular chromosome of a different strain of A. tumefaciens were found in this region. These findings will provide a ready-to-use linkage map for further functional analysis of the linear chromosome. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The ovine Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) harbors genes involved in overall resistance/susceptibility of the host to infectious diseases. Compared to human and mouse, the ovine MHC is interrupted by a large piece of autosome insertion via a hypothetical chromosome inversion that constitutes ~25% of the ovine chromosome 20. The evolutionary consequence of such an inversion and an insertion (inversion/insertion) in relation to MHC function remains unknown. We previously constructed a BAC clone physical map for the ovine MHC exclusive of the insertion region. Here we report the construction of a high-density physical map covering the autosome insertion in order to address the question of what the inversion/insertion had to do with ruminants during the MHC evolution. RESULTS: A total of 119 pairs of comparative bovine oligo primers were utilized to screen an ovine BAC library for positive clones and the orders and overlapping relationships of the identified clones were determined by the DNA fingerprinting, BAC-end sequencing, and the sequence-specific PCR. A total of 368 positive BAC clones were identified and 108 of the effective clones were ordered into an overlapping BAC contig to cover the consensus region between ovine MHC class IIa and IIb. Therefore, a continuous physical map covering the entire ovine autosome inversion/insertion region was successfully constructed. The map confirmed the bovine sequence assembly for the same homologous region. The DNA sequences of 185 BAC-ends have been deposited into NCBI database with the access numbers HR309252 through HR309068, corresponding to dbGSS ID 30164010 through 30163826. CONCLUSIONS: We have constructed a high-density BAC clone physical map for the ovine autosome inversion/insertion between the MHC class IIa and IIb. The entire ovine MHC region is now fully covered by a continuous BAC clone contig. The physical map we generated will facilitate MHC functional studies in the ovine, as well as the comparative MHC evolution in ruminants. 相似文献

Escherichia coli K-12 chromosomal DNA was partially digested with either EcoRI or HindIII, and cosmid libraries were constructed. By screening these libraries, a series of partially overlapping clones which covered the terC region was isolated. The cloned area spanned about 165 kilobase pairs, corresponding to the 29.7-to-33.2-min region of the genetic map of the E. coli chromosome. 相似文献

We present an approach to the construction of an overlapping restriction fragment map of a single human chromosome. A genomic cosmid library genome was constructed from a mouse-human hybrid cell line containing chromosome 17 as its only human genetic component. Cosmids containing human inserts were isolated by hybridisation to a human Alu sequence. DNAs from ninety-six randomly chosen cosmids were digested with either EcoRI or HindIII, end-labelled with 35S-dATP and analysed using agarose gel electrophoresis. Comparison of the restriction fragment patterns revealed two pairs of overlapping clones, that were confirmed by cross-hybridization of the overlapping fragments. The two pairs of cosmids both mapped to human chromosome 17, as shown by hybridization to a panel of somatic cell hybrids. These data demonstrate that the generation of an overlapping cosmid map along a human chromosome is feasible, representing an intermediate step towards the complete sequencing of a human chromosome. 相似文献

A combined genetic and physical map of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens A348 (derivative of C58) genome was constructed to address the discrepancy between initial single-chromosome genetic maps and more recent physical mapping data supporting the presence of two nonhomologous chromosomes. The combined map confirms the two-chromosome genomic structure and the correspondence of the initial genetic maps to the circular chromosome. The linear chromosome is almost devoid of auxotrophic markers, which probably explains why it was missed by genetic mapping studies. 相似文献

A fine physical map of the rice (Oryza sativa spp. Japonica var. Nipponbare) chromosome 5 with bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and PI-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) clones
was constructed through integration of 280 sequenced BAC/PAC clones and 232 sequence tagged site/expressed sequence tag markers
with the use of fingerprinted contig data of the Nipponbare genome. This map consists of five contigs covering 99% of the
estimated chromosome size (30.08 Mb). The four physical gaps were estimated at 30 and 20 kb for gaps 1–3 and gap 4, respectively.
We have submitted 42.2-Mb sequences with 29.8 Mb of nonoverlapping sequences to public databases. BAC clones corresponding
to telomere and centromere regions were confirmed by BAC-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on a pachytene chromosome.
The genetically centromeric region at 54.6 cM was covered by a minimum tiling path spanning 2.1 Mb with no physical gaps.
The precise position of the centromere was revealed by using three overlapping BAC/PACs for ~150 kb. In addition, FISH results
revealed uneven chromatin condensation around the centromeric region at the pachytene stage. This map is of use for positional
cloning and further characterization of the rice functional genomics.

A contig of 36 overlapping yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones has been constructed for the complete Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene in Xp21. The YACs were isolated from a human 48,XXXX YAC library using the DMD cDNA and brain promoter fragments as hybridization probes. The YAC clones were characterized for exon content using HindIII or EcoRI digests, hybridization of individual DMD cDNA probes, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of specific exons near the 5' end of the gene. For comparison to the known long-range restriction map of the DMD gene, YAC clones were digested with SfiI and hybridized with DMD cDNA probes. The combined analysis of the exon content and the SfiI map allowed an approximately 3.2-Mb YAC contig to be constructed. The complete 2.4-Mb DMD gene could be represented in a minimum set of 7 overlapping YAC clones. 相似文献

A map of the chromosome of Rhodobacter capsulatus was constructed by overlapping the large restriction fragments generated by endonucleases AseI and XbaI. The analyses were done by hybridization of single fragments with the restriction fragments blotted from pulsed-field gels and by grouping cosmids of a genomic library of R. capsulatus into contigs, corresponding to the restriction fragments, and further overlapping of the contigs. A technical difficulty due to a repeated sequence made it necessary to use hybridization with cloned genes and prior knowledge of the genetic map in order to close the physical circle in a unique way. In all, 41 restriction sites were mapped on the 3.6-Mb circular genome and 22 genes were positioned at 26 loci of the map. Cosmid clones were grouped in about 80 subcontigs, forming two groups, one corresponding to the chromosome of R. capsulatus and the other corresponding to a 134-kb plasmid. cos site end labeling and partial digestion of cosmids were used to construct a high-resolution EcoRV map of the 134-kb plasmid. The same method can be extended to the entire chromosome. The cosmid clones derived in this work can be used as a hybridization panel for the physical mapping of new genes as soon as they are cloned. 相似文献

The polled locus has been mapped by genetic linkage analysis to the proximal region of bovine chromosome 1. As an intermediate step in our efforts to identify the polled locus and the underlying causative mutation for the polled phenotype, we have constructed a BAC-based physical map of the interval containing the polled locus. Clones containing genes and markers in the critical interval were isolated from the TAMBT (constructed from Angus and Longhorn genomic DNA) and CHORI-240 (constructed from horned Hereford genomic DNA) BAC libraries and ordered based on fingerprinting and the presence or absence of 80 STS markers. A single contig spanning 2.5 Mb was assembled. Comparison of the physical order of STSs to the corresponding region of human chromosome 21 revealed the same order of genes within the polled critical interval. This contig of overlapping BAC clones from horned and polled breeds is a useful resource for SNP discovery and characterization of positional candidate genes. 相似文献

A physical map of the Drosophila melanogaster genome is being assembled, consisting of ordered overlapping cosmid clones. The map is constructed in steps, separately for each chromosomal division. Gaps in this map are to be bridged with yeast artificial chromosome clones. Hybridization to previously cloned genes and extensive use of in situ hybridization to polytene chromosomes ensure that the cosmid map is firmly anchored to the wealth of available genetic and cytogenetic information. The intention is to make the physical map widely available as part of an overall, integrated genetic resource for the Drosophila research community. 相似文献

The major QTL for submergence tolerance was locate in the 5.9 cM interval between flanking RFLP markers. To narrow down this region, a physical map was constructed using YAC and BAC clones. A 400-kb YAC was identified in this region and later its end fragments were used to screen a rice BAC library. Through chromosome walking, 24 positive BAC clones formed two contigs around linked-RFLP markers, R1164 and RZ698. Using one YAC end, six BAC ends and three RFLP markers, a fine-scale map was constructed of the 6.8-cM interval of S10709-RZ698 on rice chromosome 9. The submergence tolerance and related trait were located in a small, well-defined region around BAC-end marker 180D1R and RFLP marker R1164. The physical-to-map distance ratio in this region is as small as 172.5 kb/cM, showing that this region is a hot spot for recombination in the rice genome. 相似文献

Human chromosome 17 NotI linking clones and their use in long-range restriction mapping of the Miller-Dieker chromosome region (MDCR) in 17p13.3 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A NotI linking library constructed from flow-sorted human chromosome 17 material was screened to aid in construction of a long-range restriction map of the Miller-Dieker chromosome region (MDCR) in 17p13.3. A total of 66 clones were mapped to one of eight regions of chromosome 17 using a somatic cell hybrid panel, and 44/66 (67%) of these clones cross-hybridized to rodent DNA on Southern blots. Of these, 24 clones were tested and all mapped to mouse chromosome 11, the homolog of human chromosome 17. Four linking clones mapped to 17p13.3 and were used for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis studies along with six other anonymous probes previously mapped to this region. Clone L132 was found to be deleted in all Miller-Dieker patients tested (n = 15) and therefore lies within the critical region for this disorder. It detects two NotI fragments (180 and 320 kb), one of which (320 kb) was shared by YNZ22 and YNH37, two probes previously shown to be co-deleted in all patients with the Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS). These results indicate that all MDS patients share a minimum deletion region of greater than 370 kb. Two other NotI clones, L53 and L125, mapped telomeric to the MDS critical region and share a 600-kb MluI fragment with each other and with YNZ22/YNH37. This provides a 930-kb MluI map that encompasses the distal boundary of the MDS critical region but does not include the proximal boundary. A total of over 2 Mbp is represented in the MluI fragments by probes in subband p13.3, a cytogenetic region estimated to be 3-4 Mbp. 相似文献

The rice heterochronic gene plastochron1, pla1, shows shorter plastochron and ectopic expression of the vegetative program during the rice reproductive phase resulting in aberrant panicle formation. A genetic and physical map was constructed to isolate the causal gene for the pla1 syndrome. Small-scale mapping was carried out to determine the approximate map position of the pla1 locus, and then a high-resolution genetic map was made for pla1-1, one of the pla1 alleles, using an F2 population comprising 578 pla1-1 homozygous plants. In a high-resolution genetic map, the pla1-1 locus was found to map between RFLP markers C961 and R1738A on chromosome 10, within a 3.6-cM genetic distance. A physical map encompassing the pla1-1 locus was constructed by overlapping Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) clones through chromosome walking. PCR-based RFLP markers from BAC-end clones were developed and mapped relative to the pla1 locus. Physical map construction using BAC clones indicated that a BAC clone, B44A10 (167-kb), contained the pla1 locus within 74-kb corresponding to a 0.52-cM genetic distance. Gene prediction of 74-kb region carrying the pla1 locus suggested several candidate genes for the pla1 gene. Identification of a candidate gene for pla1 will be made by sequence analysis of allele variation and cDNA screening. 相似文献

A physical map was constructed for the 250-kilobase plasmid pRiA4b, which confers the virulence properties of a strain of Agrobacterium rhizogenes for hairy root disease in plants. The complete HindIII and KpnI restriction map was determined from a collection of overlapping HindIII partial digest clones. Homologous regions with two well-characterized plasmids that confer virulence for crown gall disease, plasmids pTiA6 and pTiT37, were mapped on pRiA4b. As much as 160 kilobases of pRiA4b had detectable homology to one or both of these crown-gall-tumor-inducing plasmids. About 33 kilobases of pRiA4b hybridized to the vir region of pTiA6, a segment of DNA required for virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Portions of pTiA6 and pTiT37 transferred into plant cells in crown gall disease (T-DNA), shared limited homology with scattered regions of pRiA4b. The tumor morphology loci tms-1 and tms-2 from the T-DNA of pTiA6 hybridized to pRiA4b. A T-DNA fragment containing the tml and tmr tumor morphology loci also hybridized to pRiA4b, but the homology has not been defined to a locus and is probably not specific to tmr. A segment of pRiA4b T-DNA which was transferred into plant cells in hairy root disease lacked detectable homology to pTiA6 and had limited homology at one end to the T-DNA of pTiT37. 相似文献

A hierarchical approach allows the completion of contiguous sets of overlapping clones for small regions of a genome, one at a time rather than tackling the whole genome at once. On the basis of the BlnI restriction map for Salmonella typhimurium LT2, we dissected the chromosome into 21 different fragments by using a Tn5 transposon carrying a BlnI site. Dissected chromosomal fragments were purified by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and used as probes for sorting a lambda DASHII genomic library of 2,304 primary clones. A total of 129 clones identified as spanning the region from 91 min to 98 min were partly ordered on the basis of the intensity of hybridization with mitomycin-induced Mud-P22 phage DNAs from insertions with pac sites in opposite orientations at 93 min used as probes. Decreased signal intensity with the Mud-P22 probes corresponded to the increased distance of the clone from the site of Mud-P22 insertion and allowed the clones to be placed in two groups from 91 min to 93 min and from 93 min to 98 min and into four intensity categories within the two groups. A member of each category was used to generate a riboprobe from the T3 promoter flanking the insert. This probe identified overlapping clones among the 129 clones. This subchromosomal library was then screened again with riboprobes from nonoverlapping clones. After four cycles of this strategy, a minimal contiguous sequence of 19 partly overlapping clones was selected for restriction mapping. A detailed map of 378 sites for eight restriction enzymes is presented for a region of about 240 kb. Working clockwise, the following genes were placed on this physical map on the basis of their restriction maps: malFEK, lamB, malM, lexA, qor, dnaB, alr, uvrA, proP, pmrB, pmrA, melA, melB, phoN, amiB, mutL, and miaA. 相似文献

A physical map of rice chromosome 5 was constructed with yeastartificial chromosome (YAC) clones along a high-resolution molecularlinkage map carrying 118 DNA markers distributed over 123.7cM of genomic DNA. YAC clones have been identified by colonyand Southern hybridization for 105 restriction fragment lengthpolymorphism (RFLP) markers and by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) screening for 8 sequence-tagged site (STS) markers and5 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Of 458YACs, 235 individual YACs with an average insert length of 350kb were selected and ordered on chromosome 5 from the YAC library.Forty-eight contigs covering nearly 21 Mb were formed on thechromosome 5; the longest one was 6 cM and covered 1.5 Mb. Thelength covered with YAC clones corresponded to 62% of the totallength of chromosome 5. There were many multicopy sequencesof expressed genes on chromosome 5. The distribution of manycopies of these expressed gene sequences was determined by YACSouthern hybridization and is discussed. A physical map withthese characteristics provides a powerful tool for elucidationof genome structure and extraction of useful genetic informationin rice. 相似文献
