利用分子标记定位农垦58S的光敏核不育基因

对农垦５８Ｓ（Ｏｒｙｚａｓａｔｉｖａｓｐ．ｊａｐｏｎｉｃａ）／大黑矮生标记基因系ＦＬ２组合组建可育集团和不育集团,并以亲本为对照进行了ＲＦＬＰ、ＲＡＰＤ和双引物ＲＡＰＤ分析,结果第１２染色体上的一个单拷贝标记Ｇ２１４０与光敏核不育基因连锁遗传,二者间的遗传图距为１４．１ｃＭ（ｃｅｎｔｉｍｏｒｇａｎ）。在筛选过的１０４０个随机单引物和１９０个双引物中,仅引物ＯＰＡＵ１０扩增出与光敏核不育基因连锁的１．５ｋｂＤＮＡ片段,回收、克隆该ＤＮＡ片段并制备探针,将其转换成共显性的ＲＦＬＰ标记并命名为ＯＰＡＵ１０１５００。分离群体连锁分析表明该标记与标记Ｇ２１４０紧密连锁,将农垦５８Ｓ的一对光敏核不育基因定位于第１２染色体上。     

哺乳动物性别分化的调控

哺乳动物性别分化调控的分子机制的研究特别是性别分化的层次调控、剂量补偿和性染色体进化这三个领域,已取得快速进展。已经发现Ｙ染色体性别决定区基因（ＳＲＹ）、Ｘ染色体ＤＳＳ－ＡＨＣ决定区基因１（ＤＡＸ－１）、甾类生成因子１基因（ＳＦ１）和Ｗｉｌｍｓ瘤抑制基因（ＷＴ－１）等与哺乳动物性别决定有关。ＳＲＹ启动睾丸分化,但胚胎发育成雄性的其余步骤由事丸分泌的激素控制。ＤＡＸ－１且编码一种女性特异功能的蛋白质,它在男性中被ＳＲＹ所抑制。ＳＦ－１和ＷＴ－１在ＳＲＹ开启之前作用于性腺和肾上腺发育的启动。哺乳动物通过随机失活雌性两条Ｘ染色体中的一条来使Ｘ连锁的基因在两性间的表达水平达到平衡（剂量补偿）。Ｘ染色体失活由Ｘ染色体失活中心（ＸＩＣ）控制。失活的Ｘ染色体专一转录基因（ＸＩＳＴ）是ＸＩＣ的强烈候选者,它可能参与Ｘ失活的启动。对有袋目和单孔目动物性染色体的研究为我们提供了其进化的信息。有证据支持性染色体起源于一对同源常染色体,而ＳＲＹ的祖先基因可能是ＳＯＸ－３。     

棕色田鼠XO雌体育性研究

通过对棕色田鼠外形特征,卵巢切片,怀胎和生产雌鼠染色体鉴定等方面研究,证实了该鼠ＸＯ雌鼠可孕,并具有生殖能力。染色体鉴定表明,ＸＸ雌体中的两条Ｘ性染以体,一条为Ｍ类型另一条为ＳＭ类型;ＸＯ雌体中的Ｘ性染色体为Ｍ类型。所以ＸＯ雌性的生育能力可能与Ｘ染色体有关,其上可能存在雌性育性基因。

PRINS as a method for rapid chromosomal labeling on human spermatozoa

Direct in situ labeling of human spermatozoa was performed using the PRINS method. This technique is based on annealing of specific oligonucleotide primers, and subsequent primer extension by a Taq DNA polymerase. The reaction was carried out on a programmable temperature cycler, and labeling was obtained in a 1-hr reaction. The method was successfully tested with specific primers for chromosomes 13, 16, and 21. This suggests that PRINS may be a fast and reliable technique for detecting aneuploidies. © 1995 Wiley-Liss Inc.     

Assessment of aneuploidy for chromosomes 8, 9, 13, 16, and 21 in human sperm by using primed in situ labeling technique.

The incidence of aneuploidy was estimated for chromosomes 8, 9, 13, 16, and 21 in mature human spermatozoa by primed in situ (PRINS) labeling technique. This method allows us to perform a chromosome-specific detection by in situ annealing of a centromeric specific primer. A dual color PRINS protocol was adapted to human sperm. The decondensation and the denaturation of sperm nuclei were simultaneously performed by 3-M NaOH treatment. Double labeling of spermatozoa was obtained in <2 h. A total of 96,292 sperm nuclei were analyzed by two independent observers. The estimates of disomy were 0.31% for chromosome 8, 0.28% for chromosome 9, 0.28% for chromosome 13, 0.26% for chromosome 16, and 0.32% for chromosome 21. These homogeneous findings suggest an equal distribution of aneuploidies among autosomal chromosomes in males.     

A comparison of sequence resolution on plant chromosomes: PRINS versus FISH

 The resolution of the chromosomal positions of six high- and one low-copy sequences by oligonucleotide-primed in situ (PRINS) labelling was compared with corresponding data obtained after fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on field-bean and barley chromosomes. While PRINS proved to be suitable for the rapid detection of high-copy tandem repeats at the same loci as those revealed by FISH, no clear PRINS signal was obtained for the low-copy family of vicilin genes at their locus on field-bean chromosome II. This indicates that localization of short target sequences by primer extension via Taq polymerase in situ does not yet provide a resolution equal, or superior, to FISH on plant chromosomes. Therefore, the use of a cocktail of chromosome-specific single-copy sequences as primers for PRINS is no alternative for the not as yet feasible chromosome painting in plants.

The organisation of repetitive DNA sequences on human chromosomes with respect to the kinetochore analysed using a combination of oligonucleotide primers and CREST anticentromere serum

The spatial relationship between the families of repetitive DNAs present at the centromeres of human chromosomes and the position of the kinetochore was examined by combining immunocytochemistry with the PRINS oligonucleotide primer extension technique. Heterochromatic domains were decondensed with 5-azacytidine to facilitate this study. Using this approach our results clearly show that the alphoid DNA sequences are closely associated with the kinetochore of human chromosomes. Simple-sequence satellite DNAs occupy separate, non-overlapping domains within the centromere. These two major families are separated by a third, relatively low-copy repetitive DNA family, SAU-3A. Pulse-field gel electrophoresis was employed to analyse the centromeric domain of human chromosome no. 9 in more detail and the results although preliminary support the conclusions drawn from the immunocytochemistry/PRINS approach.by W.C.

Primed in situ labeling: sensitivity and specificity for detection of alpha-satellite DNA in the centromere regions of chromosomes 13 and 21

The centromeric alpha-satellite DNA subfamilies from chromosomes 13 and 21 are almost identical in sequence. So far it has proven difficult to discriminate between sequence variations in the chromosome 13 and 21 alpha-satellite regions using in situ techniques. To analyze whether the method of modified single-color and double-color PRINS could be used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms within this region, we used previously published primers D13Z and D21Z that differ in the terminal 3'-nucleotide and an additionally constructed primer "D13/21-test" lacking the final nucleotide at the 3' end. The results show that a one-base pair mismatch at the 3' end is sufficient to be detected by PRINS. Surprisingly, only about 35% of our samples exhibited the expected combination of two chromosomes 13 specifically labeled with only primer D13Z and two chromosomes 21 specifically labeled with only primer D21Z. The rest of the samples showed a polymorphic distribution of the target sequence for the primers, therefore these primers are not suited for routine detection of chromosomes 13 and 21 during interphase. Our data indicate that an interchromosomal exchange of alpha-satellite DNA takes place between chromosomes 13 and 21, possibly due to a concerted evolution process.     

Mapping platypus SOX genes; autosomal location of SOX9 excludes it from sex determining role

In the absence of an SRY orthologue the platypus sex determining gene is unknown, so genes in the human testis determining pathway are of particular interest as candidates. SOX9 is an attractive choice because SOX9 deletions cause male-to-female sex reversal in humans and mice, and SOX9 duplications cause female-to-male sex reversal. We have localized platypus SOX9, as well as the related SOX10, to platypus chromosomes 15 and 10, respectively, the first assignments to these platypus chromosomes, and the first comparative mapping markers from human chromosomes 17 and 22. The autosomal localization of platypus SOX9 in this study contradicts the hypothesis that SOX9 acts as the sex determining switch in platypus.     

Mapping of rRNA genes and telomeric sequences in Danube salmon (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Hucho hucho</Emphasis>) chromosomes using primed in situ labeling technique (PRINS)

In the current paper we described the application of primed in situ (PRINS) labeling approach for the chromosomal mapping of repetitive DNA sequences in Danube salmon (Hucho hucho) (2n = 82, NF = 112). PRINS was successfully performed with primers enabling amplification of 5S rRNA genes (minor rDNAs), NOR building DNA sequences (major rDNAs), and telomeric sequences. Two loci of 5S rRNA were observed on distinct chromosome pairs; the minor arrays were located interstitially on the long (q) arms of two large metacentrics (chromosomes No. 3) and the large clusters of 5S rDNAs were assigned to the short (p) arms of two subtelocentric chromosomes No. 18. Major rDNA clusters were observed on the p-arms of two submeta-subtelocentric chromosomes No. 10. These chromosomal areas were built with GC-rich chromatin what was proved in the course of chromomycin A(3) (CMA(3)) staining performed sequentially. Major and minor rDNA families were not co-localized in the Danube salmon chromosomes.The distinct hybridization signals at the ends of all the chromosomes were provided in the course of PRINS with (CCCTAA)( n ) primer. The chromosomal localization of rRNA genes and telomeric DNA sequences was discussed in the context of Salmonidae karyotype evolution.     

Chromosome assignment of eight SOX family genes in chicken

Chromosome locations of the eight SOX family genes, SOX1, SOX2, SOX3, SOX5, SOX9, SOX10, SOX14 and SOX21, were determined in the chicken by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The SOX1 and SOX21 genes were localized to chicken chromosome 1q3.1-->q3.2, SOX5 to chromosome 1p1.6-->p1.4, SOX10 to chromosome 1p1.6, and SOX3 to chromosome 4p1.2-->p1.1. The SOX2 and SOX14 genes were shown to be linked to chromosome 9 using two-colored FISH and chromosome painting, and the SOX9 gene was assigned to a pair of microchromosomes. These results suggest that these SOX genes form at least three clusters on chicken chromosomes. The seven SOX genes, SOX1, SOX2, SOX3, SOX5, SOX10, SOX14 and SOX21 were localized to chromosome segments with homologies to human chromosomes, indicating that the chromosome locations of SOX family genes are highly conserved between chicken and human.
