苎麻疫霉激发蛋白基因断裂现象初探

苎麻疫霉（PhytophthoraboehmeriaeSaw．）可分泌具有诱抗作用的激发蛋白（α－elicihn）,根据α－elicitin第24～30和56～63位保守区氨基酸推导的寡核苷酸引物序列,对苎麻疫霉基因组DNA进行特异PCR扩增反应,发现其扩增的DNA片段大于预计的片段。回收纯化的特异扩增DNA,并进行克隆和测序分析,结果表明特异扩增的elicihn基因亚克隆DNA为570hp,大于预计的117bp。在特异片段中,存在3个内含子将基因断裂成4个阅读框架,即ORF1、ORF2、ORF3和ORF4,其中ORF1和ORF4含有与引物相同的序列,但与其它序列与已克隆的elicihn基因无同源性。因此,芒麻疫霉基因组中的elicitin基因可能存在断裂现象。

Isolation and characterization of lamprey rhodopsin cDNA.

Genomic DNA fragments coding a visual pigment of the lamprey were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, using oligonucleotide mixtures as primers. The complete coding region of the cDNA was obtained by separate amplification of both cDNA ends. The deduced amino acid sequence of the coding region showed 78-82% identity with those of rhodopsins of higher vertebrates, but only 43-47% identity with those of human color pigments. The cloned DNA appears to be the cDNA of a lamprey rhodopsin, which is expressed in the "short" photoreceptor cell.     

Uracil DNA glycosylase-mediated cloning of polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA: application to genomic and cDNA cloning.

A simple and rapid method for cloning of amplification products directly from the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been developed. The method is based on the addition of a 12-base dUMP-containing sequence (CUACUACUACUA) to the 5' end of PCR primers. Incorporation of these primers during PCR results in the selective placement of dUMP residues into the 5' end of amplification products. Selective degradation of the dUMP residues in the PCR products with uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) disrupts base pairing at the termini and generates 3' overhangs. Annealing of 3' protruding termini to vector DNA containing complementary 3' ends results in chimeric molecules which can be transformed, with high efficiency, without in vitro ligation. Directional cloning of PCR products has also been accomplished by incorporating different dU-containing sequences at the end of each PCR primer. Substitution of all dT residues in PCR primers with dU eliminates cloning of aberrant "primer dimer" products and enriches cloning of genuine PCR products. The method has been applied to cloning of inter-Alu DNA sequences from human placental DNA. Using a single primer, DNA sequences between appropriately oriented Alu sequences were amplified and cloned. Cloning of cDNA for the glyceraldehyde-3'-phosphate dehydrogenase gene from rat brain RNA was also demonstrated. The 3' end region of this gene was amplified by the 3' RACE method and the amplified DNA was cloned after UDG digestion. Characterization of cloned DNAs by sequence analysis showed accurate repair of the cloning junctions. The ligase-free cloning method with UDG should prove to be a widely applicable procedure for rapid cloning of PCR-amplified DNA.     

Engineering by PCR-based exon amplification of the genomic porcine interferon-gamma DNA for expression in Escherichia coli

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is coded for by a single gene containing three introns, localized within the coding region. We have previously cloned the IFN-gamma gene from a pig genomic DNA lambda library and have determined its nucleotide sequence. In order to construct the porcine IFN-gamma DNA without intervening sequence, the four exons were separately amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers matching the exon-termini. From the amplified exon-fragments the complete intron-free DNA was obtained by a strategy consisting of alternate rounds of PCR and ligation. The sequence so-obtained was used for expression in E. coli. The recombinant protein appeared as inclusion bodies which were solubilized and refolded in order to obtain biologically active IFN-gamma.

Structure of the murine mb-1 gene encoding a putative sIgM-associated molecule

Genomic DNA clones containing the B cell-specific murine mb-1 gene were isolated and a 5.6-kb BamH I fragment was characterized. It is 5629 bp long and contains five exons: an exon containing the 5' untranslated and the coding sequence of the signal peptide, an exon of 294 bp, which contains most of the extracellular sequence of the MB-1 protein, a 119-bp long exon coding mainly for the transmembrane portion, and two exons of 69 bp and 427 bp encoding the cytoplasmic domain and the 3'-untranslated region, respectively. The mb-1 gene does not contain a "TATA box" found in many eukaryotic promoters. The 5'-flanking region has sequence stretches homologous to IgVH 5'-promoter regions and a bcl 2 intron sequence. It contains the decanucleotide sequence (ATGGCAAATA) almost identical to the octamer motif of IgVH promoters. A B cell-specific DNase I-hypersensitive site was found in the 3'-flanking region indicating that this region might be involved in B cell-specific expression of mb-1. Southern blot analysis of genomic liver DNA with the cloned mb-1 cDNA suggests the existence of another mb-1-related gene segment.     

Genomic and cDNA cloning, characterization of Delonix regia trypsin inhibitor (DrTI) gene, and expression of DrTI in Escherichia coli

Degenerate primers were designed based on all possible sequences of the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of Delonix regia trypsin inhibitor (DrTI). Five hundred sixty-one bp of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was amplified using the above degenerate primers and genomic DNA and cDNA of Delonix regia as a template. The amplified PCR products were cloned and sequenced. DNA sequence analysis of cDNA and genomic clones of DrTI have the same nucleotide sequence in the coding region, and manifested a genomic clone without intervening sequences in the coding region. The amino acid sequence deduced from the DrTI genomic and cDNA clones agreed with that identified via amino acid sequencing analysis, except that two amino acid residues, Ser and Lys, existed between residues Lys141 and Ser142. DrTI open reading frame was then amplified and cloned in-frame with GST in pGEX4T-1 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli to yield a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-fusion protein with a calculated molecular mass of about 45 kDa. The recombinant DrTI (reDrTI) was derived by treating the GST-DrTI fusion protein with thrombin. Both the reDrTI and GST-DrTI fusion protein exhibited a strong identical inhibitory effect on trypsin activity.
