The mouse ruby eye (ru) and pale ear (ep) pigment dilution genes cause platelet storage pool deficiency (SPD) and prolonged bleeding times. The brachymorphic (bm) gene, in addition to causing skeletal abnormalities, is also associated with prolonged bleeding times. All three hemorrhagic genes are found within 10 cM on Chromosome (Chr) 19. In this study, 15 microsatellite markers and five cDNAs, spanning 21 cM of Chr 19, were mapped in relation to the bm, ep, and ru genes in 457 progeny of an interspecific backcross utilizing the highly inbred strain PWK derived from the Mus musculus musculus species. Several markers were found to be closely linked to the three genes and should be useful as entry points in their eventual molecular identification. 相似文献

In this association mapping study, a tri-species hybrid, [Gossypium arboreum × (G. hirsutum × G. aridum)2], was crossed with MD51ne (G. hirsutum) and progeny from the cross were used to identify and map SSR markers associated with reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) resistance. Seventy-six progeny (the 50 most resistant and 26 most susceptible) plants were genotyped with 104 markers.
Twenty-five markers were associated with a resistance locus that we designated Ren
ari
and two markers, BNL3279_132 and BNL2662_090, mapped within 1 cM of Ren
ari
. Because the SSR fragments associated with resistance were found in G. aridum and the bridging line G 371, G. aridum is the likely source of this resistance. The resistance is simply inherited, possibly controlled by a single dominant gene.
The markers identified in this project are a valuable resource to breeders and geneticists in the quest to produce cotton
cultivars with a high level of resistance to reniform nematode. 相似文献

Genomic probes from the HLA-B region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) were used to study the association of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) with various MHC alleles, complotypes, and extended haplotypes. The two DNA probes, M20A and R5A, were derived from previously cloned cosmids and are located 38 and 110 kilobases (kb) centromeric to HLa-B, respectively. Five different RFLP variants occuring in five different haplotypic combinations were detected within a panel of 40 homozygous-typing cells and cells from 21 families using Bst EII. In two informative families with HLA-B/DR recombinations the inheritance of the RFLP variants was consistent with their mapping between HLA-B and complotypes. The R5A/M20A haplotypic pattern 6.5 kb/3.0 kb (A) had a normal Caucasian frequency of approximately 0.43 and was found in all independent examples of the extended haplotypes [HLA-B8,SC01,DR3], [HLA-B18,F1C30, DR3], [HLa-Bw62,SC33,Dr4], [HLa-B44,SC30,Dr4], and [HLA-Bw47,FC91,0DR7]. The patterns of 6.9 kb/ 3.0 kb (B), 6.5 kb/4.7 kb (C), 1.45 kb/3.0 kb (D), and 6.9 kb/4.7 kb (E) had normal Caucasian frequencies of approximately 0.23, 0.15, 0.15, and 0.04 and were found on all independent examples of [HLA-B38,SC21, DR4], [HLA-Bw57,SC61,DR7], [HLA-B7,SC31,DR2], and [HLA-B44,FC31,DR7], respectively. Individual complotypes or HLA-B alleles which were markers of extended haplotypes showed variable associations. For example, HLA-B7 and the complotype SC31 were associated with all R5A/M20A RFLP haplotypes except haplotype E, although [HLA-B7,SC31,DR7] was associated exclusively with haplotype D. HLA-B27, not known to be part of an extended haplotype, was suprisingly exclusively associated with the 6.5 kb/4.7 kb or C haplotypic pattern in all five instances tested. These findings support the concept of regional conservation of DNA on independent examples of extended haplotypes. The results also further characterize these haplotypes. 相似文献

We used the egg avidin gold complex as a polycationic probe for the localization of negatively charged sites in the secretory
granules of mouse mast cells. We compared the binding of this reagent to mast cell granules in wild-type mice and in congenic
brachymorphic mice in which mast cell secretory granules contained undersulfated proteoglycans. We localized anionic sites
by post-embedding labeling of thin sections of mouse skin and tongue tissues fixed in Karnovsky’s fixative and OsO4 and embedded in Araldite. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the mast cell granules of bm/bm mice had a lower optical density than those of wild-type mice (P<0.001) and a lower avidin gold binding density (by approximately 50%, P<0.001). The latter result provided additional evidence that the contents of mast cell granules in bm/bm mice were less highly sulfated than in those of wild-type mice. In both wild-type and bm/bm mast cells, the distribution of granule equivalent volumes was multimodal, but the unit granule volume was approximately
19% lower in bm/bm cells than in wild-type cells (P<0.05). Thus, bm/bm mast cells develop secretory granules that differ from those of wild-type mice in exhibiting a lower optical density and
slightly smaller unit granules, however the processes that contribute to granule maturation and granule-granule fusion in
mast cells are operative in bm/bm cells. 相似文献

Milk is inhabited by a community of bacteria and is one of the first postnatal sources of microbial exposure for mammalian young. Bacteria in breast milk may enhance immune development, improve intestinal health, and stimulate the gut‐brain axis for infants. Variation in milk microbiome structure (e.g., operational taxonomic unit [OTU] diversity, community composition) may lead to different infant developmental outcomes. Milk microbiome structure may depend on evolutionary processes acting at the host species level and ecological processes occurring over lactation time, among others. We quantified milk microbiomes using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing for nine primate species and for six primate mothers sampled over lactation. Our data set included humans (Homo sapiens, Philippines and USA) and eight nonhuman primate species living in captivity (bonobo [Pan paniscus], chimpanzee [Pan troglodytes], western lowland gorilla [Gorilla gorilla gorilla], Bornean orangutan [Pongo pygmaeus], Sumatran orangutan [Pongo abelii], rhesus macaque [Macaca mulatta], owl monkey [Aotus nancymaae]) and in the wild (mantled howler monkey [Alouatta palliata]). For a subset of the data, we paired microbiome data with nutrient and hormone assay results to quantify the effect of milk chemistry on milk microbiomes. We detected a core primate milk microbiome of seven bacterial OTUs indicating a robust relationship between these bacteria and primate species. Milk microbiomes differed among primate species with rhesus macaques, humans and mantled howler monkeys having notably distinct milk microbiomes. Gross energy in milk from protein and fat explained some of the variations in microbiome composition among species. Microbiome composition changed in a predictable manner for three primate mothers over lactation time, suggesting that different bacterial communities may be selected for as the infant ages. Our results contribute to understanding ecological and evolutionary relationships between bacteria and primate hosts, which can have applied benefits for humans and endangered primates in our care. 相似文献

Summary We have previously isolated six non-allelic, nuclear mutations (su
I loci) that partially suppress the growth, respiratory and cytochrome abnormalities of the extranuclear [poky] mutant.A comparison of the mitochondrial ribosome profiles of suppressed and unsuppressed [poky] strains revealed that five of the six suppressors alleviate at least partially the deficiency of mitochondrial small ribosomal subunits that is associated with the [poky] genotype.Six independently isolated Group I extranuclear mutants, namely [exn-1], [exn-2], [exn-4], [stp-B
1], [SG-1] and [SG-3], which have growth and cytochrome phenotypes similar to [poky], also were found to be deficient in small subunits of mitochondrial ribosomes. Using cytochrome aa
3 and b production as a criterion for mitochondrial protein synthesis, it could be shown that the nuclear su
I suppressors of [poky] also suppress the other six Group I extranuclear mutants. However, differences in the efficiencies of suppression by su
I suppressors suggest that at least some of Group I extrachromosomal mutants are not simply re-isolates of [poky], but represent distinct extranuclear mutations. 相似文献

Identification of quantitative trait loci controlling sucrose content in soybean (Glycine max) 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Sucrose is a primary constituent of soybean (Glycine max) seed; however, little information concerning the inheritance of seed sucrose in soybean is available. The objective of this research was to use molecular markers to identify genomic regions significantly associated with quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling sucrose content in a segregating F2 population. DNA samples from 149 F2 individuals were analyzed with 178 polymorphic genetic markers, including RFLPs, SSRs, and RAPDs. Sucrose content was measured on seed harvested from each of 149 F2:3 lines from replicated field experiments in 1993 and 1995. Seventeen marker loci, mapping to seven different genomic regions, were significantly associated with sucrose variation at P<0.01. Individually, these markers explained from 6.1% to 12.4% of the total phenotypic variation for sucrose content in this population. In a combined analysis these genomic regions; explained 53% of total variation for sucrose content. No significant evidence of epistasis among QTLs was observed. Comparison of our QTL mapping results for sucrose content and those previously reported for protein and oil content (the other major seed constituents in soybean), suggests that seed quality traits are inherited as clusters of linked loci or that `major' QTLs with pleiotropic effects may control all three traits. Of the seven genomic regions having significant effects on sucrose content, three were associated with significant variation for protein content and three were significantly associated with oil content. 相似文献

Thirty Boophilus microplus strains from various geographic regions of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela and Colombia were analyzed for the bm86 and bm95 gene. A fragment of cDNA of 794 base pairs of the parasite larvae, included between nucleotides 278–1071s, was amplified
and cloned on the pGEM-T vector. Two random clones were sequenced for each population and the nucleotides 278–1071 and predicted
amino acid sequences compared with the bm86 and bm95 genes. Variations from 1.76 to 3.65% were detected in the nucleotides sequence when compared with the homologous sequence
of the bm86 gene and a 3.4–6.08% in the homologous amino acid sequence of the Bm86 protein. When the sequences obtained were compared
with the bm95 gene, variations from 0.50 to 3.15% were detected. Variations from 1.14 to 4.56% were detected for the Bm95 protein homologous
sequences in the deduced amino acid sequence. Only five of the 30 strains analyzed presented two different types of alleles
expressed and the two alleles of the Alegre population and allele 1 of the Betim population were the most divergent of all
those analyzed. 相似文献

The troponin complex, which consists of three regulatory proteins (troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T), is known to regulate muscle contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscle, but its role in smooth muscle remains controversial. Troponin T3 (TnnT3) is a fast skeletal muscle troponin believed to be expressed only in skeletal muscle cells. To determine the in vivo function and tissue‐specific expression of Tnnt3, we obtained the heterozygous Tnnt3+/flox/lacZ mice from Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP) Repository. Tnnt3lacZ/+ mice are smaller than their WT littermates throughout development but do not display any gross phenotypes. Tnnt3lacZ/lacZ embryos are smaller than heterozygotes and die shortly after birth. Histology revealed hemorrhagic tissue in Tnnt3lacZ/lacZ liver and kidney, which was not present in Tnnt3lacZ/+ or WT, but no other gross tissue abnormalities. X‐gal staining for Tnnt3 promoter‐driven lacZ transgene expression revealed positive staining in skeletal muscle and diaphragm and smooth muscle cells located in the aorta, bladder, and bronchus. Collectively, these findings suggest that troponins are expressed in smooth muscle and are required for normal growth and breathing for postnatal survival. Moreover, future studies with this mouse model can explore TnnT3 function in adult muscle function using the conditional‐inducible gene deletion approach genesis 51:667–675. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Human–carnivore conflicts and retaliatory killings contribute to carnivore populations' declines around the world. Strategies to mitigate conflicts have been developed, but their efficacy is rarely assessed in a randomized case–control design. Further, the economic costs prevent the adoption and wide use of conflict mitigation strategies by pastoralists in rural Africa. We examined carnivore (African lion [Panthera leo], leopard [Panthera pardus], spotted hyena [Crocuta crocuta], jackal [Canis mesomelas], and cheetah [Acinonyx jubatus]) raids on fortified (n = 45, total 631 monthly visits) and unfortified (traditional, n = 45, total 521 monthly visits) livestock enclosures (“bomas”) in northern Tanzania. The study aimed to (a) assess the extent of retaliatory killings of major carnivore species due to livestock depredation, (b) describe the spatiotemporal characteristics of carnivore raids on livestock enclosures, (c) analyze whether spatial covariates influenced livestock depredation risk in livestock enclosures, and (d) examine the cost‐effectiveness of livestock enclosure fortification. Results suggest that (a) majority of boma raids by carnivores were caused by spotted hyenas (nearly 90% of all raids), but retaliatory killings mainly targeted lions, (b) carnivore raid attempts were rare at individual households (0.081 raid attempts/month in fortified enclosures and 0.102 raid attempts/month in unfortified enclosures), and (c) spotted hyena raid attempts increased in the wet season compared with the dry season, and owners of fortified bomas reported less hyena raid attempts than owners of unfortified bomas. Landscape and habitat variables tested, did not strongly drive the spatial patterns of spotted hyena raids in livestock bomas. Carnivore raids varied randomly both spatially (village to village) and temporally (year to year). The cost‐benefit analysis suggest that investing in boma fortification yielded positive net present values after two to three years. Thus, enclosure fortification is a cost‐effective strategy to promote coexistence of carnivores and humans. 相似文献

Summary Mitchondrial gene recombination in S. cerevisiae was investigated using four combinations of mitochondrial markers: [oli1-r ery1-r], [oli1-r spi2-r], [oli1-r spi3-r] and [oli1-r spi4-r] in cis bifactorial crosses to [oli-s ery-s spi-s] strains. A number of sensitive strains including representatives of both mating types and of diverse origin were used. The crosses were analysed for frequency and polarity of mitochondrial gene recombination as well as the frequency of transmission into the diploid progeny of individual mitochondrial determinants.The results show that the polarity of recombination varied markedly in crosses between a single pair of mitochondrial markers and many unrelated sensitive strains. For example, one series of crosses included polarity values of 1.7,0.34,0.081, and 0.021. Furthermore, there was also considerable variability in frequency of recombination and frequency of transmission of individual markers and these frequencies were not correlated in many cases with polarity values. However, in certain other crosses involving different marker combinations there was a correlation between extreme polarity, high recombination frequency and high transmission frequency of one marker. The results are not compatible with polarity being determined by a simple mitochondrial sex factor and suggest that several different interactions are operating which might include nuclear phenomena. 相似文献

Chediak–Higashi Syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe immunologic defects including recurrent bacterial infections, impaired chemotaxis and abnormal natural killer (NK) cell function. Patients with this syndrome exhibit other symptoms such as an associated lymphoproliferative syndrome, bleeding tendencies, partial albinism and peripheral neuropathies. The classic diagnostic feature of CHS is the presence of huge lysosomes and cytoplasmic granules within cells. Similar defects are found in other mammals, the most well studied being the beige mouse and Aleutian mink. A positional cloning approach resulted in the identification of the Beige gene on chromosome 13 in mice and the CHS1/LYST gene on chromosome 1 in humans. The protein encoded by this gene is 3801 amino acids and is highly conserved throughout evolution. The identification of CHS1/Beige has defined a family of genes containing a common BEACH motif. The function of these proteins in vesicular trafficking remains unknown. 相似文献

Hugger, hug, is a recessively expressed mutation in mice that features mildly abnormal locomotion, not yet explained, and a unique combination
of developmental and degenerative retinal abnormalities. Analysis with the efficient MEV linkage testing stock established
that hug is on mouse Chr 19 about 14 cM from th centromere, between the microsatellite markers D19Mit28 and D19Mit14. An abnormal retinal phenotype was recognized on the day of birth, when some retinal ganglion cells already lie in abnormal
positions in the inner plexiform layer. By postnatal day 18 the number of neurons is reduced in all three cellular layers
of the retina. Rod photoreceptor cells develop only rudimentory outer segments, and by 9 months of age, about 75% of the photoreceptor
cells have completely disappeared. Similar photoreceptor cell abnormalities are seen in prph2 (formerly rds) homozygotes, which lack the peripherin/rds protein of the rod outer segments, but a mating of the respective homozygotes
yielded normal progeny. Rom1, which codes for an outer segment protein similar to peripherin/rds, maps to a more proximal position on Chr 19.

The immune responses to several antigens were compared in the I-A mutant mouse strain B6.C-H-2bm12 and the wild-type strain C57BL/6. With a lymph node cell proliferation assay, the response to two of these antigens, beef insulin and (TG)A-L, was demonstrated to be controlled by a gene in the I-Ab region. B6.C-H-2bm12 mice failed to respond to beef insulin, while their responses to (TG)A-L, DNP-OVA and PPD were comparable with those of the wild-type strain C57BL/6. Taken together with previous studies, these data suggest that the product of a single pleiotropic I-A gene, an la molecule, functions as a histocompatibility, la, and MLR antigen, as well as a necessary component for Ir gene function. Furthermore, the data reported here demonstrate that la molecules have multiple functional “Ir determinants,” one of which has been altered in the B6.C-H-2bm12 mutant. The B6.C-H-2bm12 mice, therefore, represent a powerful analytical tool for the understanding of the cellular and molecular basis for Ir gene control of the immune response. 相似文献

Soil moisture profiles can affect species composition and ecosystem processes, but the effects of increased concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide ([CO2]) on the vertical distribution of plant water uptake have not been studied. Because plant species composition affects soil moisture profiles, and is likely to shift under elevated [CO2], it is also important to test whether the indirect effects of [CO2] on soil water content may depend on species composition. We examined the effects of elevated [CO2] and species composition on soil moisture profiles in an annual grassland of California. We grew monocultures and a mixture of Avena barbata and Hemizonia congesta– the dominant species of two phenological groups – in microcosms exposed to ambient (~370 μmol mol?1) and elevated (~700 μmol mol?1) [CO2]. Both species increased intrinsic and yield‐based water use efficiency under elevated [CO2], but soil moisture increased only in communities with A. barbata, the dominant early‐season annual grass. In A. barbata monocultures, the [CO2] treatment did not affect the depth distribution of soil water loss. In contrast to communities with A. barbata, monocultures of H. congesta, a late‐season annual forb, did not conserve water under elevated [CO2], reflecting the increased growth of these plants. In late spring, elevated [CO2] also increased the efficiency of deep roots in H. congesta monocultures. Under ambient [CO2], roots below 60 cm accounted for 22% of total root biomass and were associated with 9% of total water loss, whereas in elevated [CO2], 16% of total belowground biomass was associated with 34% of total water loss. Both soil moisture and isotope data showed that H. congesta monocultures grown under elevated [CO2] began extracting water from deep soils 2 weeks earlier than plants in ambient [CO2]. 相似文献

Does elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide affect internal nitrogen allocation in the temperate trees Alnus glutinosa and Pinus sylvestris? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nitrogen‐fixing plant species growing in elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) should be able to maintain a high nutrient supply and thus grow better than other species. This could in turn engender changes in internal storage of nitrogen (N) and remobilisation during periods of growth. In order to investigate this one‐year‐old‐seedlings of Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn and Pinus sylvestris (L.) were exposed to ambient [CO2] (350 µ mol mol ? 1) and elevated [CO2] (700 µ mol mol ? 1) in open top chambers (OTCs). This constituted a main comparison between a nitrogen‐fixing tree and a nonfixer, but also between an evergreen and a deciduous species. The trees were supplied with a full nutrient solution and in July 1994, the trees were given a pulse of 15N‐labelled fertiliser. The allocation of labelled N to different tissues (root, leaves, shoots) was followed from September 1994 to June 1995. While N allocation in P. sylvestris (Scots pine) showed no response to elevated [CO2], A. glutinosa (common alder) responded in several ways. During the main nutrient uptake period of June–August, trees grown in elevated [CO2] had a higher percentage of N derived from labelled fertiliser than trees grown in ambient [CO2]. Remobilisation of labelled N for spring growth was significantly higher in A. glutinosa grown in elevated [CO2] (9.09% contribution in ambient vs. 29.93% in elevated [CO2] leaves). Exposure to elevated [CO2] increased N allocation to shoots in the winter of 1994–1995 (12.66 mg in ambient vs. 43.42 mg in elevated 1993 shoots; 4.81 mg in ambient vs. 40.00 mg in elevated 1994 shoots). Subsequently significantly more labelled N was found in new leaves in April 1995. These significant increases in movement of labelled N between tissues could not be explained by associated increases in tissue biomass, and there was a significant shift in C‐biomass allocation away from the leaves towards the shoots (all above‐ground material except leaves) in A. glutinosa. This experiment provides the first evidence that not only are shifts in C allocation affected by elevated [CO2], but also internal N resource utilisation in an N2‐fixing tree. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term clinical effect of treatment with metreleptin (an analogue of human leptin) on glycemic and lipid abnormalities and markers of hepatic steatosis in patients with inherited or acquired lipodystrophy.MethodsFifty-five patients (36 with generalized lipodystrophy and 19 with partial lipodystrophy) with at least 1 of 3 metabolic abnormalities (diabetes mellitus, fasting triglyceride level ≥ 200 mg/dL, and insulin resistance) and low leptin levels received subcutaneous injections of metreleptin once or twice daily in an ongoing clinical trial at the National Institutes of Health.ResultsAt baseline, hemoglobin A1c-8.5% ± 2.1% (mean ± standard deviation [SD])-and triglycerides—479 ± 80 mg/dL (geometric mean ± standard error [SE])-were substantially elevated. Robust and sustained reductions in both variables were evident for the observed patient population during a 3-year metreleptin treatment period (-2.1% ± 0.5% [mean ± SE] and -35.4% ± 13.7% [mean ± SE], respectively). Mean alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were elevated at baseline (100 ± 120 U/L and 71 ± 77 U/L [mean ± SD], respectively) and decreased by -45 ± 19 U/L and -33 ± 14 U/L (mean ± SE), respectively, during the 3-year metreleptin treatment period. Improvements in hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides, ALT, and AST were more pronounced in the subsets of patients having elevated levels at baseline. The most notable adverse events observed in this patient population were likely attributable to underlying metabolic abnormalities or comorbidities.ConclusionMetreleptin treatment substantially reduced glycemic variables, triglycerides, and liver enzymes (ALT and AST) and demonstrated durability of response throughout a 3-year treatment period. These results support metreleptin as a potential treatment for certain metabolic disorders (for example, diabetes mellitus and hypertriglyceridemia) associated with lipodystrophy.

First results from two strategies aimed at elucidating the genetics of sex in the dioecious genus Actinidia Lindl. (Actinidiaceae) support the hypothesis that sex-determining genes are localized in a pair of chromosomes which, although
cytologically indistinguishable, function like an XX/XY system with male heterogamety. A. chinensis Planch., a close relative of the kiwifruit [A. deliciosa (A. Chev.) CF Liang et AR Ferguson], has diploid and tetraploid races. Bulk segregant analysis to find sex-linked markers
revealed two markers whose inheritance patterns in three diploid families showed X and Y linkage and indicated that the male
is the heterogametic sex. Some recombination between the markers and the sex-determining loci was also demonstrated. Sex ratios
in 12 progenies from controlled crosses varied around 1:1, as expected for an XX/XY system.

Despite several secretive marsh bird (SMB) species being listed as critically imperiled throughout the mid-continent of North America, limited information on SMB distribution and habitat use within primary migratory corridors results in uncertainty on contributions of wetlands in mid-latitude states toward their annual cycle needs. Our objectives were to quantify temporal patterns of SMB wetland occupancy during spring migration at a mid-latitude state and evaluate the relationships between SMB colonization probability and water-level management practices, and the resulting habitat conditions during spring migration. We conducted a 2-year, dynamic occupancy study (2013–2014) that included 6 rounds of repeated call-back surveys to detect the presence of 5 SMB species (i.e., Virginia rail [Rallus limicola], sora [Porzana carolina], king rail [R. elegans], least bittern [Ixobrychus exilis], and American bittern [Botaurus lentiginosus]) during spring (Apr–Jun) on 107 wetlands across 8 conservation areas and 4 national wildlife refuges throughout Missouri, USA. We detected sora most frequently, followed by least bittern, American bittern, Virginia rail, and king rail. Coefficient estimates indicated colonization probability for all species was positively associated with emergent vegetation cover and negatively associated with amount of open water. Open water was the only variable in the best supported model explaining American bittern site colonization, to which they were negatively associated. Virginia rail colonization had a strong positive association with vegetation height, whereas least bittern and sora site colonization were influenced positively by water depth and agriculture, respectively. Based on the habitat associations within and among SMB species identified in this study, wetland managers can tailor management strategies to optimize spring migration habitat for single- or multi-species objectives. 相似文献
