We have designed a simple and efficient polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based cDNA subtraction protocol for high-throughput cloning of differentially expressed genes from plants that can be applied to any experimental system and as an alternative to DNA chip technology. Sequence-independent PCR-amplifiable first-strand cDNA population was synthesized by priming oligo-dT primer with a defined 5' heel sequence and ligating another specified single-stranded oligonucleotide primer on the 3' ends of first-strand cDNAs by T4 RNA ligase. A biotin label was introduced into the sense strands of cDNA that must be subtracted by using 5' biotinylated forward primer during PCR amplification to immobilize the sense strand onto the streptavidin-linked paramagnetic beads. The unamplified first strand (antisense) of the interrogating cDNA population was hybridized with a large excess of amplified sense strands of control cDNA. We used magnetic bead technology for the efficient removal of common cDNA population after hybridization to reduce the complexity of the cDNA prior to PCR amplification for the enrichment and sequence abundance normalization of differentially expressed genes. Construction of a subtracted and normalized cDNA library efficiently eliminates common abundant cDNA messages and also increases the probability of identifying clones differentially expressed in low-abundance cDNA messages. We used this method to successfully isolate differentially expressed genes from Pennisetum seedlings in response to salinity stress. Sequence analysis of the selected clones showed homologies to genes that were reported previously and shown to be involved in plant stress adaptation.  相似文献

In this study we present an improved polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methodology to generate large amounts of high-quality complementary DNA (cDNA) from small amounts of initial total RNA. Global amplification of cDNA makes it possible to simultaneously clone many cDNAs and to construct directional cDNA libraries from a sequence-abundance-normalized cDNA population, and also permits rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), from a limited amount of starting material. The priming of cDNAs with an adapter oligo-deoxythymidine (oligo-dT) primer and the ligation of a modified oligonucleotide to the 3′ end of single-stranded cDNAs, through the use of T4 RNA ligase, generates known sequences on either end of the cDNA population. This helps in the global amplification of cDNAs and in the sequence-abundance normalization of the cDNA population through the use of PCR. Utilization of a long-range PCR enzyme mix to amplify the cDNA population helps to reduce bias toward the preferential amplification of shorter molecules. Incorporation of restriction sites in the PCR primers allows the amplified cDNAs to be directionally cloned into appropriate cloning vectors to generate cDNA libraries. RACE-PCR done with biotinylated primers and streptavidin-coated para-magnetic particles are used for the efficient isolation of either full-length coding or noncoding strands.  相似文献

本研究通过比较体外转录和单引物扩增这两种扩增微量RNA的不同方法,以寻找一种高效的扩增方法。我们用两种不同方法分别扩增小鼠大脑全皮层及第五皮层细胞的RNA,扩增的RNA合成cDNA后进行荧光定量PCR实验,根据PCR结果比较两种不同扩增方法的效率。WT-ovation扩增RNA的效率约为IVT效率的2.8倍;IVT方法扩增后,基因D-C值与引物距离mRNA 3'端的长度及mRNA的长度均存在正线性相关(P<0.05),即引物距离mRNA的3'端越近、mRNA越短,基因D-Ct值越低。而WT-ovation方法扩增后,基因D-Ct值与引物距离mRNA 3'端的长度及mRNA的长度均不存在统计学相关性。与IVT方法相比,WT-ovation方法效率更高,扩增时受影响因素较少、更稳定。  相似文献

Every mRNA in trypanosomes consists of two exons, a common 5' capped mini-exon or spliced leader and a coding-exon. All evidence suggests that the exons are joined by trans-splicing of two individual precursor RNAs, the mini-exon donor RNA or spliced leader precursor RNA (medRNA) and the pre-mRNA. We studied intermediates of the splicing reaction using denaturing two-dimensional PAGE and structurally identified a group of small (approximately 180-300 nt) non-polyadenylated, Y-shaped branched RNAs. The branched Y-shaped RNAs contain the 105 nt medRNA derived intron, joined in a 2'-5' phosphodiester bond to small heterogeneously sized RNAs. These non-polyadenylated branched Y-shaped RNA molecules are analogous to the lariat shaped introns of higher eukaryotes and presumably represent the released intron-like by-products of a trans-splicing reaction which joins the mini-exon and the major coding-exon.  相似文献

Control of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is dependent on accurate diagnosis and treatment of infected patients. However, sensitivities of tests in routine use are unsatisfactory, due to the characteristically low parasitaemias in naturally infected individuals. We have identified a conserved sequence in the repetitive insertion mobile element (RIME) of the sub-genus Trypanozoon and used it to design primers for a highly specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) test. The test was used to analyse Trypanozoon isolates and clinical samples from HAT patients. The RIME LAMP assay was performed at 62 degrees C using real-time PCR and a water bath. DNA amplification was detectable within 25min. All positive samples detected by gel electrophoresis or in real-time using SYTO-9 fluorescence dye could also be detected visually by addition of SYBR Green I to the product. The amplicon was unequivocally confirmed through restriction enzyme NdeI digestion, analysis of melt curves and sequencing. The analytical sensitivity of the RIME LAMP assay was equivalent to 0.001 trypanosomes/ml while that of classical PCR tests ranged from 0.1 to 1000 trypanosomes/ml. LAMP detected all 75 Trypanozoon isolates while TBR1 and two primers (specific for sub-genus Trypanozoon) showed a sensitivity of 86.9%. The SRA gene PCR detected 21 out of 40 Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense isolates while Trypanosoma gambiense-specific glycoprotein primers (TgsGP) detected 11 out of 13 T. b. gambiense isolates. Using clinical samples, the LAMP test detected parasite DNA in 18 out of 20 samples which included using supernatant prepared from boiled blood, CSF and direct native serum. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the LAMP assay coupled with the ability to detect the results visually without the need for sophisticated equipment indicate that the technique has strong potential for detection of HAT in clinical settings. Since the LAMP test shows a high tolerance to different biological substances, determination of the appropriate protocols for processing the template to make it a user-friendly technique, prior to large scale evaluation, is needed.  相似文献

We have modified and optimized PCR-based differential display for efficient identification and isolation of genes whose expression patterns are correlated with changes in growth, development, physiology, and/or environmental response. This protocol is general in nature and can be applied for analysis of virtually any plant tissues from which several μg of total RNA can be extracted. We report here the use of tomato fruit ripening as a model system in which to test and optimize differential display in plants. Specifically, mRNA from ripe, early breaker, mature green, and ethylene-treated mature green tomato fruit were examined to identify and distinguish non-ethylene-inducible from ethylene-inducible genes related to ripening. DNA-free total RNA was utilized as template for synthesis of first-strand complementary DNA using each of 12 possible 5′-T11 XY-3′ anchor primers (X=A, C, or G; Y=A, C, G, or T). PCR amplification products of the resulting cDNA populations were generated via use of random primers in combination with the corresponding anchor primer employed for cDNA synthesis. We demonstrate that degenerative anchor primers are useful for making representative cDNA populations, but are not effective for representative display-PCR. cDNA, resulting from degenerative anchor primer synthesis, yielded substantially fewer ripening-related display-PCR products when amplified with the same degenerative anchor primer employed in cDNA synthesis, versus the corresponding set of specific anchor primers. Amplification products specific to ripe fruit cDNA were isolated directly from display gels, reamplified, cloned, and confirmed for ripening-related gene expression via RNA gel-blot analysis.  相似文献

We have isolated the gene coding for the U2 analogue in trypanosomes. The 148 nucleotide long U2 RNA is capped and transcribed from a single copy gene. The 5' half of the molecule is highly homologous to mammalian U2 RNA, while the 3' half does not show any significant sequence homology with the mammalian counterpart. Nevertheless, the trypanosome U2 RNA can be folded into a secondary structure resembling the one proposed for U2 RNA. The presence of a U2 analogue and most likely other U RNAs in trypanosomes suggests that splicing is involved at some point in the maturation of mRNA. Possible interactions of the U2 RNA with the spliced leader RNA are considered.  相似文献

The spliced species of late SV40 RNAs present in the cytoplasm of cells infected with various wild-type and mutant strains of SV40 that differ in their leader regions were determined using a novel modification of the primer extension method and the S1 nuclease mapping technique. These data indicated that mutations within the first exon of the late RNAs can affect dramatically the utilization of downstream donor and acceptor splice sites. In one instance, a ten base pair insertion within the predominant first exon increased utilization of an infrequently utilized donor splice site such that the small alteration became part of an intervening sequence, thereby suggesting a novel mechanism for regulation of gene expression. In addition, our method enabled detection of a previously unidentified spliced species, representing less than one percent of the SV40 late 19S RNA present in cells infected with wild-type virus, that may be an intermediate in the synthesis of a known doubly spliced 16S RNA species of SV40.  相似文献
