Restriction fragments of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV; B95-8) DNA were cloned in the Tc gene of pBR322 (HindIII-F, -G, -I, -J, -K, -L, and -M) and in Charon3A (EcoRI-GI and -G2). Altogether these cloned fragments covered 39% of the entire viral genome. The cloned EcoRI-G2 fragment of EBV (B95-8) DNA was shown to contain, in addition to HindIII-J, two more HindIII-fragments : HindIII-M, which had not been located on the linkage map of the viral genome (Given and Kieff, 1978) and HindIII-N, which had been unrecognized up to now. The utility of this cloning method is discussed in regard to the detailed mapping of a viral genome and large-scale production of the viral DNA. 相似文献

The EcoRI-H fragment (15.4 kb) of Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has been cloned in lambda gtWES in both orientations. This fragment contains the entire US region and has about 900 bp of terminal redundant sequences derived from the internal and terminal repeats of the S region. 56 independent plaque-forming deletion derivatives of the lambda gt/WES::EcoRI-H hybrid phage were isolated using either EDTA resistance or ability to grow on Escherichia coli(P2) lysogens as selective methods. The endpoints of these deletions were located using nine restriction enzymes that cleave within the EcoRI-H fragment. All of the deletions have at least one endpoint within the cloned fragment. Several unusual features of the lambda hybrids, including heterogeneity of a particular region in the HSV-1 EcoRI-H fragment and the presence of chi-like sequences in the US region of HSV-1, are discussed. 相似文献

A recombinant plasmid, pI26, has been constructed by cloning into pBR322 a transforming gene of murine sarcoma virus (a Moloney strain, clone 124, MSV) synthesized by detergent-treated virions. From this plasmid a XbaI-HindIII fragment has been isolated which contains only mos-specific sequences. This mos-specific probe has been used for screening a human gene library cloned in bacteriophage λ Charon 4A. Of these, 19 clones have been isolated containing mos-related sequences. By physical mapping and molecular hybridization it has been shown that these sequences are neighboured by DNA regions related to Moloney murine leukemia virus. Recombinant phages have also been found containing human inserts related to MLV, not to the mos gene. The possible existence of murine-like endogenous retroviruses in the normal human genome, including that of a sarcoma type, is discussed. By Northern blotting, expression of the cellular c-mos gene has been detected in mouse liver treated with a hepatocarcinogen. The general significance of the suggested model for evaluating the relationship between chemical carcinogenesis and oncogene expression is discussed. 相似文献

We have compared the amino acid sequences of two low-molecular-weight avian apoproteins: apoVLDL-II from very low-density lipoproteins of hen plasma and apovitellenin I from hen egg yolk. The sequence of White Leghorn apoVLDL-II was derived from the nucleotide sequence of cloned apoVLDL-II DNA (Chan et al., 1980). The sequenator was used to determine the amino acid sequence of apovitellinin I from two breeds of hen (White Leghorn and Australorp). The sequences from the two breeds were not only identical, but they also completely matched the predicted sequence derived from the apoVLDL-II DNA sequence. The identity reported here establishes that this protein is transported intact from the blood to the egg yolk. 相似文献

It has been proposed (Hoeijmakers et al., 1980b) that variant surface antigen (VSA) gene expression in Trypanosoma brucei is accomplished by a gene re-arrangement involving the basic copy of the VSA gene to give the so-called expression-linked copy (which is present only in the strain expressing that particular antigen). In this publication, the basic and expression-linked copies of the gene have been visualized by Southern blot analysis of nuclear DNA and shown to be located on HindIII fragments of 4.5 and 10-12 kb, respectively. In addition, several other bands of weaker hybridization are seen, probably representing evolutionary relatives. Using a shotgun approach, HindIII gene banks have been constructed and recombinants isolated which carry the 4.5-kb HindIII fragment containing the VSA118 gene basic copy. Several clones containing evolutionary relatives were also found. The 4.5-kb HindIII fragment is able to hybridize to probes derived from both the 5' and 3' ends of the cDNA, while the relatives have homology only to the 3' end. A detailed comparison of the restriction map of VSA118 cDNA with that of the VSA118 basic copy showed no differences, demonstrating that the gene contains no introns. This result also indicates that the gene from which VSA118 mRNA is transcribed (whether this be the basic copy or the expression-linked copy) is identical to the basic copy over the region analysed. 相似文献

Isolation and complete nucleotide sequence of the gene for bovine parathyroid hormone 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The structure of the bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene has been analyzed by Southern blot hybridization of genomic DNA and by nucleotide sequence analysis of a cloned PTH gene. In the Southern analysis, several restriction enzymes produced single fragments that hybridized to PTH cDNA suggesting that there is a single bovine PTH gene. The restriction map of the cloned gene is the same as that determined by Southern blot analysis of bovine DNA. The sequence of 3154 bp of the cloned gene has been determined including 510 bp and 139 bp in the 5' and 3' flanking regions, respectively. The gene contains two introns which separate three exons that code primarily for: (i) the 5' untranslated region, (ii) the pre-sequence of preProPTH, and (iii) PTH and the 3' untranslated region. The gene contains 68% A + T and unusually long stretches of 100- to 150-bp sequences containing alternating A and T nucleotides in the 5' flanking region and intron A. The 5' flanking region contains two TATA sequences, both of which appear to be functional as determined by S1 nuclease mapping. Compared to the rat and human genes, the locations of the introns are identical but the sizes differ. Comparable human and bovine sequences in the flanking regions and introns are about 80% homologous. 相似文献

A sensitive immunoassay was used to identify recombinant plasmids carrying cDNA fragments of bovine caseins in the cDNA library from bovine mammary gland mRNA. Colonies grown on nitrocellulose filters were lysed in situ and proteins from the lysates were blotted onto CNBr-activated cellulose filter paper. Antigens covalently bound to CNBr-activated paper or bound to nitrocellulose filters were detected by reaction with antiserum to caseins, followed by 125I-labelled Staphylococcus aureus protein A and autoradiography. Six clones were found positive among 5400 of the cDNA library: 3-A1, 3-B2, 3-B5, 3-H7, 2-A5 and 2-C9. The molecular weights of chimeric pre-β-lactamase: casein proteins synthesized in Escherichia coli were estimated by immunoblotting. Colony hybridization and nucleotide sequence analysis showed that clone 3-B5 contained a cDNA fragment of bovine χ-casein, clone 3-H7 contained a cDNA fragment of β-casein, while clones 2-A5 and 2-C9 carried cDNA fragments of αsi-casein. 相似文献

cDNA segments copied from the RNA of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) C1-Santa Pau (isolate C-S8) have been cloned in plasmid pBR322. A 998-bp DNA fragment, that includes the region coding for capsid protein VP1, the carboxy terminus of VP3, and the amino terminus of precursor protein p52 has been sequenced. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence with those from FMDV O1K, A1061, a12 and C3 Indaial (Kurz et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 9 (1981) 1919–1931; Kleid et al., Science 214 (1981) 1125–1129; Boothroyd et al., Gene 17 (1982) 153–161; Makoff et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 10 (1982) 8285–8295) indicates extensive variability between the corresponding gene segments, including short insertions and deletions. Base transversions are more frequent than transitions within the VP1 coding segment, but not in the sequence coding for the amino-terminal end of p52. The nucleotide sequence divergence is reflected in variability in both the primary and the predicted higher-order structures of the encoded VP1s. 相似文献

Carboxylesterase (EC 3.1.1.1) is a member of the carboxyl/cholinesterase (CCE) superfamily, which is widely distributed in animals, plants and microorganisms. This enzyme has been known to be associated with insecticide resistance and detoxification. Although CCEs have been extensively studied in insects, including lepidopterans, the research on butterflies, a major subgroup in Lepidoptera, is still poor. In the present study, we cloned a CCE gene (McCCE1) from the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia, Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). The full-length cDNA encoding McCCE1 was 1786 bp, containing a 1641 bp open reading frame encoding 546 amino acids, a 38 bp 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR), and a 107 bp 3′-UTR with a poly(A) tail. The functionally conserved amino acids in McCCE1 shared the 55% identity with the cytoplasmic esterase CCE017a in Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), which has been associated with detoxification. Assays in vitro showed that the recombinant McCCE1 could hydrolyze α- and β-naphthyl acetate. Thus, the present study adds to the body of knowledge concerning the detoxification of pesticides by lepidopterans. 相似文献

Variation in mouse major urinary protein (MUP) genes and the MUP gene products within and between inbred lines 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The mouse major urinary proteins (MUPs) and the unprocessed in vitro translation products of MUP mRNA were each resolved by isoelectric focusing (IEF). The urinary MUPs showed about 15 distinct components, and the unprocessed MUPs about 20. In each case wide variation was observed in the relative intensities of individual bands. A comparison of three inbred lines (C57BL, BALB/c and JU) showed inter-line variation in the patterns both of the urinary MUPs and of the unprocessed MUPs. A series of experiments was carried out with a cloned MUP cDNA probe. All three inbred lines contain the same number (about 20) of MUP genes per haploid genome. In Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA the MUP genes displayed complex patterns which we interpret as showing variation on a common basic MUP gene sequence. For each combination of restriction enzymes tested, one size of fragment carried more than half of the total label, and this fragment was always the same in the three inbred lines. Inter-line differences were observed in the patterns of some of the less reactive fragments. MUP mRNA consists of at least two distinct species with sizes of 1 and 1.2 kb, which reacted with the probe in a label ratio of about 0.5 to 1. In the three inbred lines this ratio was essentially the same. 相似文献

Clone banks of cDNA from the parasite Schistosoma mansoni: isolation of clones containing a potentially immunodiagnostic antigen gene 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have constructed a small vector specifically for blunt-end cloning of fragments of DNA. Both the PvuII site and the EcoRI site allow the detection of recombinants using a simple and inexpensive colour screen. We have used this vector to construct cDNA clone banks from polyadenylated messenger RNA [poly(A)+mRNA] from several life cycle stages of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni and have identified clones encoding an immunodiagnostic antigen gene by a combination of Southern blotting and mRNA hybrid-selection and in vitro translation. Antibodies against this antigen are only present in patients infected with S. mansoni. 相似文献

HBNU/LSRC/F3, a Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain stored in our lab, exhibited an anti-tumor ability in our previous studies. Nonetheless, very little is known about its genome sequence, which is vital for further study. Here, the complete HBNU/LSRC/F3 genome was fully sequenced and compared with other NDV sequences. Its genome contained 15,192 nucleotides (nt) consisting of two termini and six genes in the following order: 3′-Le-NP-P-M-F-HN-L-Tr-5′. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this NDV strain belonged to the Class II genotype IX group. A multibasic amino acid (aa) sequence was found at the cleavage site (112RRQRR↓F117) within the fusion (F) protein, and a 6 nt insertion was present in the 5′ non-coding region of the NP gene. The whole genome sequence was highly similar to other genotype IX NDV genomes reported in China. Overall, this study provides insight into the sequence characteristics of genotype IX NDVs, which will be useful for subsequent investigations. 相似文献

Non-specific lipid transfer proteins belonging to LTP1 family represent the most important allergens for non pollen-related allergies to Rosaceae fruits in the Mediterranean area. Peach LTP1 (Pru p 3) is a major allergen and is considered the prototypic allergenic LTP. On the contrary, pear allergy without pollinosis seems to be under-reported when compared to other Rosaceae fruits suggesting that the as-yet-uncharacterized pear LTP1 (Pyr c 3) has in vivo a low allergenicity. We report here on the identification of four cDNAs encoding for LTP1 in pear fruits. The two isoforms exhibiting amino acid sequences most similar to those of peach and apple homologues were obtained as recombinant proteins. Such isoforms exhibited CD spectra and lipid binding ability typical of LTP1 family. Moreover, pear LTP1 mRNA was mainly found in the peel, as previously shown for other Rosaceae fruits. By means of IgE ELISA assays a considerable immunoreactivity of these proteins to LTP-sensitive patient sera was detected, even though allergic reactions after ingestion of pear were not reported in the clinical history of the patients. Finally, the abundance of LTP1 in protein extracts from pear peel, in which LTP1 from Rosaceae fruits is mainly confined, was estimated to be much lower as compared to peach peel. Our data suggest that the two isoforms of pear LTP1 characterized in this study possess biochemical features and IgE-binding ability similar to allergenic LTPs. Their low concentrations in pear might be the cause of the low frequency of LTP-mediated pear allergy. 相似文献
