Telomeres, which are important for chromosome maintenance, are composed of long, repetitive DNA sequences associated with a variety of telomere-binding proteins. We characterized the organization and structure of rice telomeres and adjacent subtelomere regions on the basis of cytogenetic and sequence analyses. The length of the rice telomeres ranged from 5.1 to 10.8 kb, as revealed by both fibre-fluorescent in situ hybridization and terminal restriction-fragment assay. Physical maps of the chromosomal ends were constructed from a fosmid library. This facilitated sequencing of the telomere regions of chromosomes 1S, 2S, 2L, 6L, 7S, 7L and 8S. The resulting sequences contained conserved TTTAGGG telomere repeats, which indicates that the physical maps partly covered the telomere regions of the respective chromosome arms. These repeats were organized in the order of 5'-TTTAGGG-3' from the chromosome-specific region, except in chromosome 7S, in which seven inverted copies also existed in tandem array. Analysis of the telomere-flanking regions revealed the occurrence of deletions, insertions, or chromosome-specific substitutions of single nucleotides within the repeat sequences at the junction between the telomere and subtelomere. The sequences of the 500-kb regions of the seven chromosome ends were analysed in detail. A total of 598 genes were predicted in the telomeric regions. In addition, repetitive sequences derived from various kinds of retrotransposon were identified. No significant evidence for segmental duplication could be detected within or among the subtelomere regions. These results indicate that the rice chromosome ends are heterogeneous in both sequence and characterization. 相似文献

The genomic sequences derived from rice centromeric regions were analyzed to facilitate the comprehensive understanding of the rice genome. A rice centromere-specific satellite sequence, RCS2/TrsD/CentO, was used to screen P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) genomic libraries derived from Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cultivar Nipponbare. Physical maps of the centromeric regions were constructed by DNA fingerprinting methods and the aligned clones were analyzed by end sequencing. BLAST analysis revealed the composition of genes, centromeric satellites and other repetitive elements, such as RIRE7/CRR, RIRE8, Squiq, Anaconda, CACTA and miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements. Fiber-fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis also indicated the presence of distinct clusters of RCS2/TrsD/CentO satellite interspersed with other elements, instead of a long homogeneous region. Several expressed genes, sequences representative of ancestral organellar insertions, relatively long simple sequence repeats (SSRs), and sequences corresponding to 5S and 45S ribosomal RNA genes were also identified. Thirty-one gene sequences showed high-similarity to rice full-length cDNA sequences that had not been matched to the published rice genome sequence in silico. These results suggest the presence of expressed genes within and around the clusters of RCS2/TrsD/CentO satellites in unsequenced centromeric regions of the rice chromosomes. 相似文献

Toward the mapping of physiological and agronomic characters on a rice function map: QTL analysis and comparison between QTLs and expressed sequence tags 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
K. Ishimaru M. Yano N. Aoki K. Ono T. Hirose S. Y. Lin L. Monna T. Sasaki R. Ohsugi 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》2001,102(6-7):793-800
We have constructed a rice function map by collating the results on quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for 23 important physiological
and agronomic characters (including 13 newly measured traits) obtained using backcross inbred lines of japonica Nipponbare×indica Kasalath. Using these materials, The Rice Genome project (RGP) has developed a high-density genetic map. QTLs controlling
yield did not overlap with those controlling the morphological and physiological traits supposed to relate to yield, such
as photosynthetic ability. This result suggests that these traits do not influence yield, at least in this genetic background
and environment. QTLs controlling yield also did not overlap with the structural genes controlling carbon metabolism (rbcS, cytosolic or plastidic fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, R-enzyme, and sucrose synthase).The combination of a function map and results from the RGP can be advantageous. The utility of this map is discussed.

Here we describe a DNA-chip-based method for high-throughput sequence mapping. This involves competitive hybridization between short and differentially labeled fluorescent oligonucleotide probes and glass-supported PCR products. Competition between an excess of oligonucleotide probes targeting the same sequence segment improves sequence discrimination and reduces sensitivity to experimental conditions such as probe concentrations, hybridization, and washing temperatures and durations. The method was found to be particularly adapted to sequence mapping of combinatorial libraries obtained by DNA shuffling between members of a gene family. We present an application of this technique for the characterization of recombination biases in combinatorial libraries used in directed evolution. 相似文献

Visual verification of close disposition between a rice A genome-specific DNA sequence (TrsA) and the telomere sequence 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A rice A genome-specific tandem repeat sequence (TrsA) and telomeric nucleotide sequences, (TTTAGGG)n, were simultaneously detected by multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (McFISH) using rice prometaphase chromosomes. Six pairs of TrsA sites visualized by fluorescence signals were all localized on the long arms close to the telomeric regions. Differences in the copy number of TrsA at the different sites were visualized both by the size of the telomeric condensation block stained with Giemsa solution and the signal intensity after FISH with TrsA. McFISH analyses using interphase nuclei could resolve close disposition of TrsA and telomere and also gave rough estimation of the distance between them. The functional significance of the close disposition of TrsA and telomere is discussed. 相似文献

Genomic libraries of rice,Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare, in yeast artificial chromosomes were prepared for construction of a rice physical map. High-molecular-weight genomic DNA was extracted from cultured suspension cells embedded in agarose plugs. After size fractionation of theEco RI- andNot I-digested DNA fragments, they were ligated with pYAC4 and pYAC55, respectively, and used to transformSaccharomyces cerevisiae AB1380. A total of 6932 clones were obtained containing on average ca. 350 kb DNA. The YAC library was estimated to contain six haploid genome equivalents. The YACs were examined for their chimerism by mapping both ends on an RFLP linkage map. Most YACs withEco RI fragments below 400 kb were intact colinear clones. About 40% of clones were chimeric. Genetic mapping of end clones from large size YACs revealed that the physical distance corresponding to 1 cM genetic distance varies from 120 to 1000 kb, depending on the chromosome region. To select and order YAC clones for making contig maps, high-density colony hybridization using ECL was applied. With several probes, at least one and at most ten YAC clones could be selected in this library. The library size and clone insert size indicate that this YAC library is suitable for physical map construction and map-based cloning. 相似文献

Two genomic regions duplicated in distal ends of the short arms of chromosomes 11 and 12 in rice (Oryza sativa L.) were characterized by YAC ordering with 46 genetic markers. Physical maps covering most of the duplicated regions were generated. Thirty-five markers, including 21 rice cDNA clones, showed the duplicated loci arrayed strictly in the same order along the two specific genomic regions. Regardless of their different genetic distances, the two duplicated segments may have a similar and minimum physical size with an expected length of about 2.5 Mb. However, differences of RFLP frequency for the duplicated DNA copies and recombination frequency for a given homoeologous area between the two regions were observed, indicating that these changes in genome organization occurred after the duplication. Our results establish a good model system for resolving the relationships between gene duplication, expression of duplicated genes, and the frequency of meiotic recombination in small chromosomal regions. 相似文献

MOTIVATION: Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are abundant across genomes. However, the significance of SSRs in organellar genomes of rice has not been completely understood. The availability of organellar genome sequences allows us to understand the organization of SSRs in their genic and intergenic regions. RESULTS: We have analyzed SSRs in mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of rice. We identified 2528 SSRs in the mitochondrial genome and average 870 SSRs in the chloroplast genomes. About 8.7% of the mitochondrial and 27.5% of the chloroplast SSRs were observed in the genic region. Dinucleotides were the most abundant repeats in genic and intergenic regions of the mitochondrial genome while mononucleotides were predominant in the chloroplast genomes. The rps and nad gene clusters of mitochondria had the maximum repeats, while the rpo and ndh gene clusters of chloroplast had the maximum repeats. We identified SSRs in both organellar genomes and validated in different cultivars and species. 相似文献

Genes and genomes do not evolve similarly in all branches of the tree of life. Detecting and characterizing the heterogeneity in time, and between lineages, of the nucleotide (or amino acid) substitution process is an important goal of current molecular evolutionary research. This task is typically achieved through the use of non-homogeneous models of sequence evolution, which being highly parametrized and computationally-demanding are not appropriate for large-scale analyses. Here we investigate an alternative methodological option based on probabilistic substitution mapping. The idea is to first reconstruct the substitutional history of each site of an alignment under a homogeneous model of sequence evolution, then to characterize variations in the substitution process across lineages based on substitution counts. Using simulated and published datasets, we demonstrate that probabilistic substitution mapping is robust in that it typically provides accurate reconstruction of sequence ancestry even when the true process is heterogeneous, but a homogeneous model is adopted. Consequently, we show that the new approach is essentially as efficient as and extremely faster than (up to 25 000 times) existing methods, thus paving the way for a systematic survey of substitution process heterogeneity across genes and lineages. 相似文献

Telomere binding protein Stn1 forms the CST (Cdc13/CTC1-STN1-TEN1) complex in budding yeast and mammals. Likewise, fission yeast Stn1 and Ten1 form a complex indispensable for telomere protection. We have previously reported that stn1-1, a high-temperature sensitive mutant, rapidly loses telomere DNA at the restrictive temperature due to frequent failure of replication fork progression at telomeres and subtelomeres, both containing repetitive sequences. It is unclear, however, whether Stn1 is required for maintaining other repetitive DNAs such as ribosomal DNA. In this study, we have demonstrated that stn1-1 cells, even when grown at the permissive temperature, exhibited dynamic rearrangements in the telomere-proximal regions of subtelomere and ribosomal DNA repeats. Furthermore, Rad52 and γH2A accumulation was observed at ribosomal DNA repeats in the stn1-1 mutant. The phenotypes exhibited by the stn1-1 allele were largely suppressed in the absence of Reb1, a replication fork barrier-forming protein, suggesting that Stn1 is involved in the maintenance of the arrested replication forks. Collectively, we propose that Stn1 maintains the stability of repetitive DNAs at subtelomeres and rDNA regions. 相似文献

The anaerobic fermentation pathway is thought to play an important role under flooding conditions. The pyruvate decarboxylase
2 (pdc2) gene that encodes the first enzyme of this pathway has been cloned and characterized from rice. This gene has an open reading
frame that putatively encodes a 603 amino-acid-residue protein with a molecular mass of 64 kDa. pdc2 has five introns dispersed throughout the coding region, which is also true for rice pdc1. Although the length of these introns in rice pdc2 are different from those in rice pdc1, they are located in exactly the same positions based on the deduced amino-acid sequences. The temporal and spatial expression
patterns of pdc1 and pdc2 show that pdc2 is induced to a higher level during the early period (1.5–12 h) of anoxia than pdc1, which is induced more after longer time periods (24–72 h) of anoxia in both shoots and roots. The map positions of the three
pdc genes have also been determined. Rice pdc1 is located on chromosome 5 between BCD454A and RZ67, pdc2 is located on chromosome 3 between RZ329 and RZ313, and pdc3 is mapped on chromosome 7 distal to RG351.

Leaf color turns yellow during senescence due to the degradation of chlorophylls and photosynthetic proteins. A stay green
mutant was isolated from the glutinous japonica rice Hwacheong-wx through N-methyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis. Leaves of the mutant remained green, while turning yellow in those of the wild-type
rice during senescence. The stay green phenotype was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene, tentatively symbolized
as sgr(t). All the phenotypic characteristics of the mutant were the same as those of the wild-type lines except for the stay green
trait. The leaf chlorophyll concentration of the mutant was similar to that of the wild-type before heading, but decreased
steeply in the wild-type during grain filling, while very slowly in the mutant. However, no difference in photosynthetic activity
was observed between the stay green mutant and the yellowing wild-type leaves, indicating that senescence is proceeding normally
in the mutant leaves and that the mutation affects the rate of chlorophyll degradation during the leaf senescence. Using phenotypic
and molecular markers, we mapped the sgr(t) locus to the long arm of chromosome 9 between RFLP markers RG662 and C985 at 1.8- and 2.1-cM intervals, respectively.

Saturation mapping of QTL regions and identification of putative candidate genes for drought tolerance in rice 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:7

We have developed 85 new markers (50 RFLPs, 5 SSRs, 12 DD cDNAs, 9 ESTs, 8 HSP-encoding cDNAs and one BSA-derived AFLP marker) for saturation mapping of QTL regions for drought tolerance in rice, in our efforts to identify putative candidate genes. Thirteen of the markers were localized in the close vicinity of the targeted QTL regions. Fifteen of the additional markers mapped, respectively, inside one QTL region controlling osmotic adjustment on chromosome 3 ( oa3.1) and 14 regions that affect root traits on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12. Differential display was used to identify more putative candidate genes and to saturate the QTL regions of the genetic map. Eleven of the isolated cDNA clones were found to be derived from drought-inducible genes. Two of them were unique and did not match any genes in the GenBank, while nine were highly similar to cDNAs encoding known proteins, including a DnaJ-related protein, a zinc-finger protein, a protease inhibitor, a glutathione-S-transferase, a DNA recombinase, and a protease. Twelve new cDNA fragments were mapped onto the genetic linkage map; seven of these mapped inside, or in close proximity to, the targeted QTL regions determining root thickness and osmotic adjustment capacity. The gene I12A1, which codes for a UDP-glucose 4-epimerase homolog, was identified as a putative target gene within the
prt7.1/brt7.1 QTL region, as it is involved in the cell wall biogenesis pathway and hence may be implicated in modulating the ability of rice roots to penetrate further into the substratum when exposed to drought conditions. RNAs encoding elongation factor 1, a DnaJ-related protein, and a homolog of wheat zinc-finger protein were more prominently induced in the leaves of IR62266 (the lowland rice parent of the mapping materials used) than in those of CT9993 (the upland rice parent) under drought conditions. Homologs of 18S ribosomal RNA, and mRNAs for a multiple-stress induced zinc-finger protein, a protease inhibitor, and a glutathione-S-transferase were expressed at significantly higher levels in CT9993 than in IR62266. Thus several genes involved in the regulation of DNA structure and mRNA translation were found to be drought-regulated, and may be implicated in drought resistance.Communicated by R. Hagemann 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are symmetrical exchanges between newly replicated chromatids and their sisters. While homologous recombination may be one of the principal mechanisms responsible for SCEs, the full details of their molecular basis and biological significance remain to be elucidated. Following exposure to ultraviolet light B (UVB), mitomycin C (MMC) and cisplatin, we analyzed the location of SCEs on metaphase chromosomes in Chinese hamster CHO cells. The frequency of SCEs increased over the spontaneous level in proportion to the agent's dose. UVB-induced SCEs occurred frequently in telomere regions, as cisplatin-induced SCEs did, differing from MMC-induced ones. The remarkable difference of intrachromosomal distribution among the three mutagens may be attributed to the specificity of induced DNA lesions and structures of different chromosome regions. Telomeric DNA at the end of chromosomes is composed of multiple copies of a repeated motif, 5'-TTAGGG-3' in mammalian cells. Telomeric repeats may be potential targets for UVB and cisplatin, which mainly form pyrimidine dimers and intrastrand d(GpG) cross-links, respectively, resulting in SCE formation. UVB irradiation shortened telomeres and augmented the telomerase activity. The possible implications of the frequent occurrence of SCEs in telomere regions are discussed in connection with the maintenance of telomere integrity. 相似文献
