The 264 bp mini-transposon Tn5supF was constructed to sequence DNAs cloned in phage lambda without extensive shotgun subcloning or primer walking. Unique sequences near each transposon end serve as primer binding sites, and a supF gene is used to select transposition to lambda. We describe here PCR methods that facilitate Tn5supF-based sequencing. In a first pass, insertions are mapped relative to the ends of the cloned fragment using pairs of primers specific for vector DNA next to the cloning site and for a Tn5supF end. Most insertions not mapped in this step are near the center of the cloned fragment or in the vector arms, and are then mapped relative to the two innermost insertions by 'crossover' PCR. This involves amplification from primers on different DNA molecules, and generates hybrid DNA products whose lengths correspond to the distances between the two insertions. We routinely amplified more than 6 kb in direct PCR and 3 kb in crossover PCR; at the limit we amplified up to approximately 10 kb in direct PCR and approximately 6 kb in crossover PCR, but not reproducibly. Crossover PCR products were also obtained with insertions separated by only 200 bp, indicating that no rare sites are needed to switch templates. PCR products were purified by adsorption and then elution from glass slurry, and sequenced directly. Ladders of more than 400 bp were obtained from primer sites on each DNA strand; 2 kb was read from crossover PCR products, and showed that they were amplified with fidelity. In conclusion, direct and crossover PCR methods expedite transposon insertion mapping, and yield templates for accurate sequencing of both DNA strands.  相似文献

Mutations at the DFNB1 locus which encode connexin 26 (CX26) and connexin 30 (CX30) proteins, respectively, are main cause for sporadic and familial non-syndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) in many populations. 342-kb deletion [del (GJB6-D13S1830)] of Cx30 gene is second most common connexin mutation. Specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been found to be associated with NSHI. In this study, we screened 210 NSHI patients for GJB2 mutations, ΔGJB6-D13S1830 deletion and three point mutations in mtDNA (A1555G, A3243G, A7445G) using PCR, DHPLC and sequencing in North Indian cohort. 35delG was found to be the most common mutation (10.9%), followed by W24X (3.8%) and W77X (1.9%) mutations. We did not observe GJB6-D13S1830 deletion and three mitochondrial point mutations in our cohort. Most of patients (50/58) carried monoallelic variations. Our results reveal different spectrum of GJB2 mutations specific to North Indian cohort, with 35delG being most prevalent. These results suggest that different types of GJB2 mutations affect autosomal recessive NSHI according to ethnic background.  相似文献

HLA-G is a nonclassical class I MHC molecule of unknown function expressed on human trophoblast. The level of polymorphism at the HLA-G locus is of considerable importance, since the paternally inherited gene product is exposed to the maternal immune system during pregnancy. However, previous studies of HLA-G polymorphism using genomic DNA samples have produced conflicting results. Our aim was to investigate polymorphism in trophoblast HLA-G mRNA from pregnancies in ten Caucasian and twelve Afro-Caribbean women by RT-PCR. A similar PCR protocol was also applied to umbilical cord blood genomic DNA from two Caucasian and two Afro-Caribbean neonates. Caucasian cDNA yielded only two different sequences: G*01011, and one containing a previously reported synonymous substitution. Afro-Caribbean samples yielded these sequences as well as one previously reported conservative (leucine-to-isoleucine) substitution. PCR amplification from genomic DNA samples from both populations using previously published primer pairs generated sequences containing multiple substitutions, many of which were nonsynonymous. More than two sequences were produced from genomic DNA from each individual. In contrast, amplification from the same genomic DNA using new primers complementary to exons of the HLA-G gene yielded the same few sequences generated from cDNA. These results suggest that polymorphism at the HLA-G locus is extremely limited in Caucasian and Afro-Caribbean populations. This suggests that spurious polymorphism has been reported in African Americans due to the use of intron-complementary PCR primers on genomic DNA samples. The monomorphic nature of HLA-G may allow trophoblast to carry out the immunological functions of class I-bearing tissues without compromising successful pregnancy.  相似文献

TnAraOut is a mariner-based transposon containing an arabinose-inducible promoter P(BAD) facing outward. TnAraOut mutagenesis previously used to identify essential genes in Vibrio cholerae can also be used to identify in vitro essential genes in Salmonella enteritidis. A mutant screen was conducted based on the assumption that a mutant-harboring TnAraOut insertion in the promoter region of an essential gene should exhibit arabinose-dependent growth phenotype. Among five isolated mutants with such growth phenotype, DNA sequencing revealed that two of them have insertions in the upstream region of atpI and the coding region of yigP gene such that P(BAD) promoter drives the expression of the downstream gene(s). Growth assay showed that the growth defects of these two mutants were fully restored by arabinose induction.  相似文献

Endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs) in mice are significant genomic mutagens, causing ~10% of all reported spontaneous germ line mutations in laboratory strains. The majority of these mutations are due to insertions of two high copy ERV families, the IAP and ETn/MusD elements. This significant level of ongoing retrotranspositional activity suggests that inbred mice are highly variable in content of these two ERV groups. However, no comprehensive genome-wide studies have been performed to assess their level of polymorphism. Here we compared three test strains, for which sufficient genomic sequence is available, to each other and to the reference C57BL/6J genome and detected very high levels of insertional polymorphism for both ERV families, with an estimated false discovery rate of only 0.4%. Specifically, we found that at least 60% of IAP and 25% of ETn/MusD elements detected in any strain are absent in one or more of the other three strains. The polymorphic nature of a set of 40 ETn/MusD elements found within gene introns was confirmed using genomic PCR on DNA from a panel of mouse strains. For some cases, we detected gene-splicing abnormalities involving the ERV and obtained additional evidence for decreased gene expression in strains carrying the insertion. In total, we identified nearly 700 polymorphic IAP or ETn/MusD ERVs or solitary LTRs that reside in gene introns, providing potential candidates that may contribute to gene expression differences among strains. These extreme levels of polymorphism suggest that ERV insertions play a significant role in genetic drift of mouse lines.  相似文献

A Pyrosequencing assay, based on SAG2 gene polymorphisms, was designed for genotyping and detection of multiple infections of Toxoplasma gondii. The assay was tested on samples spiked with DNA from single and multiple genotypes of T. gondii and also on a DNA sample from the brain of a rat with multiple infections. To evaluate the comparative efficacy of the assay, identical samples were also analysed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and dideoxy sequencing. The Pyrosequencing assay was found to be superior to the two conventional techniques. Genotyping and detection of multiple alleles were possible after a single PCR assay in duplex format, from both the spiked and direct samples. The simplex PCR assay enabled accurate quantification of the different alleles in the mix. In comparison, PCR-RFLP and dideoxy sequencing were neither able to unequivocally detect multiple genotype infections, nor quantify the relative concentrations of the alleles. We conclude that Pyrosequencing offers a simple, rapid and efficient means for diagnosis and genotyping of T. gondii, as well as detection and quantification of multiple genotype infections of T. gondii.  相似文献

A new system for insertional mutagenesis based on the maize Enhancer/Suppressor-mutator (En/Spm) element was introduced into Arabidopsis. A single T-DNA construct carried a nonautonomous defective Spm (dSpm) element with a phosphinothricin herbicide resistance (BAR) gene, a transposase expression cassette, and a counterselectable gene. This construct was used to select for stable dSpm transpositions. Treatments for both positive (BAR) and negative selection markers were applicable to soil-grown plants, allowing the recovery of new transpositions on a large scale. To date, a total of 48,000 lines in pools of 50 have been recovered, of which approximately 80% result from independent insertion events. DNA extracted from these pools was used in reverse genetic screens, either by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers from the transposon and the targeted gene or by the display of insertions whereby inverse PCR products of insertions from the DNA pools are spotted on a membrane that is then hybridized with the probe of interest. By sequencing PCR-amplified fragments adjacent to insertion sites, we established a sequenced insertion-site database of 1200 sequences. This database permitted a comparison of the chromosomal distribution of transpositions from various T-DNA locations.  相似文献

Glutaminyl‐peptide cyclotransferase‐like (QPCTL) is an isoenzyme of glutaminyl‐peptide cyclotransferase (QPCT). QPCTL and QPCT catalyze the formation of N‐terminal modified pyroglutamate‐fractalkine and the chemokine CCL2. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between insertions/deletions in the chicken QPCTL promoter region with growth traits in chickens. We first detected two insertion/deletion variants of QPCTL via whole‐genome resequencing analysis of DNA samples from Xichuan chickens. A total of 1896 individuals from 12 breeds were genotyped for 52‐ and 224‐bp insertions/deletions. We found two novel insertions/deletions in the promoter region of the chicken QPCTL gene and studied their association with chicken body weight and carcass traits. Our findings show that QPCTL can be a molecular marker for chicken genetics and breeding programs.  相似文献

Humans are infected by 2 genetic assemblages (A and B) of Giardia duodenalis, a protozoan parasite that causes gastro-intestinal disease. Sub-assemblages AI, AII, BIII and BIV are commonly identified in human cases. Detection requires amplification of G. duodenalis loci. Subsequent DNA sequencing or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) identifies sub-assemblages but is expensive (DNA sequencing) or insensitive (RFLP). This study investigated a fluorescence-based detection method, using terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene to characterize human infections. Clinical samples (n=73), positive for Giardia were collected in New South Wales, Australia, and were used to evaluate T-RFLP detection. The accuracy and sensitivity of T-RFLP detection was established by comparison to DNA sequencing and RFLP. Sub-assemblage assignment by T-RFLP identified BIV as the common subtype in N.S.W cases, whilst AI, AII and BIII were also detected. When compared to DNA sequencing and RFLP, analysis by T-RFLP was a reliable and reproducible method. Automated fluorescent detection enabled accurate sizing of restriction fragments and provided a sensitive alternative to RFLP. Discrimination of sub-assemblages by T-RFLP was comparable to DNA sequencing, but was efficient and inexpensive. The protocol described here provides a rapid and sensitive diagnostic tool for routine sample screenings in epidemiological research.  相似文献

Growing evidence has shown that nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) plays a key role in the initiation and progression of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. A common polymorphism (-94 insertion/deletion ATTG, rs28362491) in the promoter region of NFKB1 gene was identified as functional. The -94del ATTG allele exhibited loss of binding to nuclear proteins and resulted in reduced promoter activity. We investigated the association between NFKB1 -94 insertion/deletion ATTG polymorphism and risk of SLE. A total of 224 SLE patients and 256 control subjects were genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis strategy and DNA sequencing. We found that the ATTG(1)/ATTG(2) genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of SLE (odds ratio=0.52, 95% confidence interval: 0.32-0.87, p=0.012). This finding indicates that the -94 insertion/deletion ATTG polymorphism may play pivotal roles in the development of SLE in the Chinese population. Further studies with larger sample size are warranted to confirm this finding, especially in different populations.  相似文献

Clusterin has been implicated in lipid metabolism and atherogenesis, however, the influence of genetic variation has not been examined in Japanese. In this study, we identified 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of clusterin gene by direct sequencing. Among them, one promoter SNP (-4453T>G), one missense SNP (4183G>A), and 2 common SNPs (5608T>C and 6316delT) were genotyped in 525 asymptomatic hypertensives not treated with lipid lowering agents. -4453T>G, 4183G>A, and 5608T>C showed no correlation with the clinical characteristics, however, in the 6316delT, an insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism, D/D subjects had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol than I/I subjects in females but not in males. Female subjects with the D allele (D/D+I/D) had greater intima-media thickness of the carotid artery than I/I subjects. In a multiple logistic regression analysis, the D allele of 6316delT was detected as an independent predictor for the plaque prevalence. In conclusion, the clusterin gene polymorphism may contribute to the serum lipid levels and the progression of carotid atherosclerosis in hypertensive Japanese females.  相似文献

Colonial variation and fimbriation of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
The Escherichia coli serB gene is divergently transcribed from the gene. Six independently isolated IS30 insertions within the 5' end of the serB structural gene resulted in increased expression of an smp'-lacZ gene fusion. DNA sequence analysis of two of the insertions suggests that a promoter was created upon IS30 insertion.  相似文献

Four point mutations in the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene have been detected by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA. The four base changes are all localized within a short segment of 85 base pairs. Three cystatin C gene alleles could be defined with respect to these promoter mutations; one with the sequence previously published, one carrying three of the mutations and one with all four base substitutions. Two of the observed mutations are involved in a novel Sst II polymorphism and another generates a new Dde I restriction site. A PCR-based assay for analysis of these Sst II and Dde I sites was designed and used to demonstrate Mendelian inheritance of the polymorphisms as well as to determine the frequencies of the cystatin C gene alleles in the population.  相似文献
