Use of 5´-anchored primers for the enhanced recovery of specific microsatellite markers in Brassica napus L.

Microsatellite markers have assumed great significance in biological research. The isolation and characterisation of microsatellites involves DNA library construction and screening, DNA sequencing, primer design and PCR optimisation. When a microsatellite is situated close to the beginning or end of a cloned fragment, specific primers cannot be designed for one of the flanking sequences, thus hindering the utilisation of such microsatellites as markers. The present approach was to use one 5′-anchored primer complementary to the microsatellite sequence in combination with one specific Cy5- labelled primer with a view to retrieving useful microsatellites, which would otherwise be lost. Six pairs of a 5′ anchored primer and a specific primer were used across a set of 31 Brassica napus winter cultivars and one accession each of five additional Brassica species. Using laser fluorometry a single labelled product was observed after amplification with each of four primer pairs, and one primer pair gave two labelled products. Three products corresponded in size with the products expected if 5′ anchoring was effective, indicating the amplification of locus-specific full-length products including all of the microsatellite repeats. All six primer pairs showed polymorphisms across the Brassica species examined, but only one primer pair showed polymorphisms within B. napus, making it useful for genetic analysis in rapeseed cultivars. The other primer pairs could be useful in studying gene introgression into B. napus or for investigating interspecific crosses involving different Brassica species.

Partial genomic organization of ribosomal protein S7 gene from malaria vector Anopheles stephensi

In this study, we describe the partial genomic organization of ribosomal protein S7 gene isolated from the mosquito Anopheles stephensi. Initially a 558 bp partial cDNA sequence was amplified as precursor mRNA sequence containing 223 bp long intron. 5＇ and 3＇ end sequences were recovered using end specific rapid amplification of cDNA ends （RACE） polymerase chain reaction. The full-length cDNA sequence was 914 nucleotide long with an open reading frame capable of encoding 192 amino acid long protein with calculated molecular mass of 22174 Da and a pI point of 9.94. Protein homology search revealed 〉75% identity to other insect＇s S7 ribosomal proteins. Analysis of sequence alignment revealed several highly conserved domains, one of which is related to nuclear localization signal （NLS） region of human rpS7. Interestingly, intron nucleotide sequence comparison with A. gambiae showed a lesser degree of conservation as compared to coding and untranslated regions. Like this, early studies on the genomic organization and cDNA/ Expressed sequence tag analysis （EST） could help in genome annotation ofA. stephensi, and would be likely to be sequenced in the future.     

Changes of 5＇ Terminal Nucleotides of PCR Primers Causing Variable T-A Cloning Efficiency

T-A cloning takes advantage of the unpaired adenosyl residue added to the 3＇ terminus of amplified DNAs by Taq and other thermostable DNA polymerase and uses a Ilnearlzed plasmld vector with a protruding 3＇ thymldylate residue at each of Its 3＇ termini to clone polymerase chain reaction （PCR）-derived DNA fragments. It Is a simple, reliable, and efficient Ilgatlon-dependent cloning method for PCR products, but the drawback of variable cloning efficiency occurs during application. In the present work, the relationship between variable T-A cloning efficiency and the different 5＇ end nucleotlde base of primers used In PCR amplification was studied. The results showed that different cloning efficiency was obtained with different primer pairs containing A, T, C and G at the 5＇ terminus respectively. The data shows that when the 5＇ end base of primer pair was adenosyl, more white colonies could be obtained In cloning the corresponding PCR product In comparison with other bases. And the least white colonies were formed when using the primer pair with 5＇ cytldylate end. The gluanylate end primers resulted In almost the same cloning efficiency In the white colonies amount as the thymldylate end primer did, and this efficiency was much lower than that of adenosyl end primers. This presumably is a consequence of variability In 3＇dA addition to PCR products mediated by Taq polymerase. Our results offer instructions for primer design for researchers who choose T-A cloning to clone PCR products.

Cloning of rat sp56,the homologue of mouse sperm ZP3 receptor—sp56

Mouse sp56 is considered as one of the candidates for mouse zona pellucida 3(mZP3)receptor,Up to date,its homologue has only been cloned from guinea pig,namely,AM67.Based on the cDNA sequence of mouse sp56,we designed a pair of primer to amplify its homologue from rat testis cDNA.Using RT-PCR, two tragments of 743 bp and 938 bp were amplified.The PCR products show very high homology to mouse sp56.However,the 743 bp product completely lacks one of the seven Sushi domains of mouse sp56.Using the 743 bp product as the probe to detect the expression profile of sp56 in rat tissues,Northern blot shows that a-2.0kb mRNA expresses specifically in testis.Employed the RACE method,two full cDNA sequences of rat sp56 were obtained.A Mr-42KD band was detected in denatured and non-reducing protein sample of rat testis and sperm with anti-mouse sp56 monoclonal antibody by Western blot method.Rat sp56 was localized on rat sperm head by the indirect immunofluorescence method.Rat sp56 immunoreactivity was detected from the early pachytene spermatocytes and throughout the spermatogenesis.Its cloning will further our understanding of the mechanism of the sperm-egg recognition and binding.
