鸭梨及其变异类型的RAPD分析

鸭梨为梨属白梨系统优良资源,生产中其变异类型较多。本文首次对鸭梨及其9个鸭梨变异类型进行RAPD分析,并初步筛选出3个多态性引物即S28、S32、S176。研究发现:芽变品种垂枝鸭梨增加了1条特异带(S32-600)。在芽变品种魏县巨鸭梨、甜鸭梨、垂枝鸭梨的扩增产物中均少1条特异带(S28-400)。魏县巨鸭梨扩增产物中缺少2条特异性条带(S176-900和S176-1150)和阎庄自花结实鸭梨缺少1条特异性条带(S176-1150)。可见魏县巨鸭梨、甜鸭梨、垂枝鸭梨与阎庄自花与其他类型能区分开。     

小麦抗锈变异体的RAPD分子验证

将长穗偃麦草DNA导入普通小麦甘麦8号,在其后代出现广泛变异,并从中选育出两个优良的抗条锈病的姊妹变异体。本实验以原供体和受体作为对照,对两个变异体进行了RAPD分子验证,其主要结果为：两个变异体的大多数引物扩增产物带型类同于受体,而与供体带型差异显著;在81个引物中有2个引物检测出了DNA的多态生,主要表现为变异体90001-17中1条带活性不仅超过受体,而且也远超过90001-1的相应带活性,同时两个变异体都出现了1条供体和受体都没有的新带,分子量约为1044bp;另一引物扩增后,变异体90001-17和90001-1分别出现了2条和1条特异性带,分子量约为1073bp和1020bp,此外在两个变异体阳极端带明显被激活,而受体中1条分子量约为968bp的带在变异体中活性降低或消失等。从而表明抗锈变异体9001-17和90001-1的形成是供体的DNA片段进入受体基因组的结果。     

问题解答

问芽变的遗传机理是什么? 答芽变是指植物芽发生的变异,这种变异常常是体细胞突变的结果。如果植物的一个芽在它发育的早期发生体细胞突变,由这个芽发育起来的整个枝条和枝条上的花、果实都表现出突变的性状。芽变一般只限于某一个性状,     

球孢白僵菌单孢子分离株在继代培养过程中菌落局变的遗传分析

研究了球孢白僵菌Beauveria bassiana单孢株继代过程中的菌落局变现象,并通过AFLP分析了角变子与原菌株间在分子水平上的差异。结果表明,野生型出发菌株Bb13的单孢分离株13S5和13S8在继代培养过程中均发生生长速率加快和产孢量下降现象。13S5在前5代,13S8在前6代产孢量有所下降但不显著,至第10代时产孢量比第1代分别下降了81.7%和69.0%。菌株角变现象在继代培养5-6代后表现明显,而13S8角变子出现的频率更高。AFLP指纹图谱分析表明,用20个引物组扩增出的98个位点中,两个角变子与野生型菌株间有12条差异条带,变异率达12.2%。由此证明单孢子分离株在继代培养中发生菌落局变后遗传物质已产生了变异。

分子标记在苹果品种鉴定中的应用

本文报道了应用随机扩增多态性DNA（RAPD）标记鉴定苹果“Fuji”品种的芽变和实生苗植株的结果。17个10核苷酸随机引物用于扩增6个品种的基础组DNA,共产生150条DNA片段,其中9个引物产生了18条多态性DNA片段,将6个品种分成2组,第一组包括“Fuji",Red Fuji,和Nagafu Fuji;第二级则包括Senshu Fuji,FLava Fuji和Ultraearli Fuji。在每一组样品之间观察不到任何变异,结果表明：（1）RAPD能区分开芽变与实生苗株株,但检测不到芽变株之间的遗传变异;（2）Senshu Fuji,Flava Fuji和Ultraearli fuji具有一致的基因型,可能是同一实生苗的无性繁殖后代。     

水稻斑点叶突变体spl101和spl102的筛选及候选基因鉴定

斑点叶突变体是指植物在正常生长条件下叶片或叶鞘上自发形成、且与病原菌侵染产生的病斑类似的一类突变体,筛选并研究斑点叶突变体对揭示植物抗病反应机理具有重要意义。为了进一步研究斑点叶的形成机制,本文通过EMS诱变品种宽叶粳(KYJ),筛选得到两个斑点叶突变体spl101和spl102。这两个突变体在生长发育晚期(抽穗期以后)形成严重的类病斑。遗传分析表明,spl101和spl102均受隐性单基因控制。利用Mutmap方法对候选基因进行克隆,结果显示,spl101和spl102的候选基因均为OsEDR1,该基因与类病斑发生有关。在spl101中,OsEDR1基因突变发生在第6外显子和第6内含子的交接处,该突变导致第6内含子的错误识别,最终造成移码突变。在spl102中,OsEDR1基因突变发生在第10外显子上,导致一个苯丙氨酸(F)变成半胖氨酸(C)。因此,本研究鉴定了两个新的OsEDR1等位突变,对OsEDR1抗病反应机理的进一步研究及丰富水稻种质资源具有积极意义。同时验证了利用Mutmap方法克隆水稻突变基因的有效性。

Site-directed mutagenesis for cysteine residues of cobalt-containing nitrile hydratase

Three cysteine residues, which are completely conserved among alpha-subunits in all nitrile hydratases, are thought to be the ligands of a metal ion in the catalytic center of this enzyme. These cysteine residues (i.e. alpha C102, alpha C105 and alpha C107) in the high-molecular-mass nitrile hydratase (H-NHase) of Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1 were replaced with alanine by site-directed mutagenesis using the R. rhodochrous ATCC12674 host-vector system, and the resultant transformants were investigated. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) for the cell-free extracts of each mutant transformant revealed that four mutant transformants (i.e. alpha C105A, alpha C107A, alpha C102A/C105A and alpha C105A/C107A) showed predominant alpha- and beta-subunit protein bands with a mobility identical to those of the native H-NHase, while three mutant transformants (i.e. alpha C102A, alpha C102A/C107A and alpha C102A/C105A/C107A) did not produce the corresponding proteins. The purified former four mutant enzymes showed neither enzymatic activity nor the maximum absorption at 410 nm which was detected in the wild type H-NHase. They also did not contain cobalt ions. Based upon these findings, these three cysteine residues were found to be essential for the active expression of H-NHase.     

High-resolution mapping of the Drosophila fourth chromosome using site-directed terminal deficiencies

For more than 80 years, the euchromatic right arm of the Drosophila fourth chromosome (101F-102F) has been one of the least genetically accessible regions of the fly genome despite the fact that many important genes reside there. To improve the mapping of genes on the fourth chromosome, we describe a strategy to generate targeted deficiencies and we describe 13 deficiencies that subdivide the 300 kb between the cytological coordinates 102A6 and 102C1 into five discrete regions plus a 200-kb region from 102C1 to 102D6. Together these deficiencies substantially improve the mapping capabilities for mutant loci on the fourth chromosome.     

Identification of a tyrosine in the agonist binding site of the homomeric rho1 gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor that,when mutated,produces spontaneous opening

Mutagenesis of recombinant rho1 gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors has previously identified five residues in the amino terminal extracellular domain that play an important role in GABA binding. Here, we present evidence that the tyrosine at position 102 of the rho1 receptor is also associated with the agonist binding site. Wild-type and mutant rho1 receptors were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and examined using the two-electrode voltage clamp. When Tyr-102 was mutated to cysteine, serine, tryptophan, or glycine the EC(50) increased 31-, 214-, 664-, and 8752-fold, respectively. An increase in the IC(50) was also observed for the competitive antagonist 3-APMPA, but not for the non-competitive antagonist picrotoxin. Y102C was accessible to modification by methanethiosulfonate, and this modification was prevented by both GABA and 3-APMPA. An interesting characteristic of the Y102S mutant receptor was that, in the absence of GABA, there was an unusually high oocyte resting conductance that was blocked by both 3-APMPA and picrotoxin, indicating spontaneously opening GABA receptors. It appears that mutation of Tyr-102 perturbs the binding site and gates the pore. We conclude that Tyr-102 is a component of the GABA binding domain and speculate that Tyr-102 might be important for coupling agonist binding to channel opening.     

Reduced histone levels induced by "reeler" and "weaver" mutations in the mouse cerebellum.

Five major protein bands present in the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis pattern of normal cerebellum are apparently absent or decreased in amounts in both reeler and weaver mutant cerebellar tissues. All five bands were identified as histones and the deficiencies related to the decreased cerebellar cellularity produced by both mutations. These results, therefore, rule out an earlier suggestion that two of these proteins are granular cell specific proteins (1). Preliminary evidence for high levels of F1 histone in the nuclei of cerebellar cells, which appear to be reduced in the reeler syndrome, is presented.     

Characterization of sodium dodecyl sulfate-resistant proteolytic activity in the hyperthermophilic archaebacterium Pyrococcus furiosus

Cell extracts from Pyrococcus furiosus were found to contain five proteases, two of which (S66 and S102) are resistant to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) denaturation. Cell extracts incubated at 98 degrees C in the presence of 1% SDS for 24 h exhibited substantial cellular proteolysis such that only four proteins could be visualized by amido black-Coomassie brilliant blue staining of SDS-polyacrylamide gels. The SDS-treated extract retained 19% of the initial proteolytic activity as represented by two proteases, S66 (66 kilodaltons [kDa]) and S102 (102 kDa). Immunoblot analysis with guinea pig sera containing antibodies against protease S66 indicated that S66 is related neither to S102 nor to the other proteases. The results of this analysis also suggest that S66 might be the hydrolysis product of a 200-kDa precursor which does not have proteolytic activity. The 24-h SDS-treated extract showed unusually thermostable proteolytic activity; the measured half-life at 98 degrees C was found to be 33 h. Proteases S66 and S102 were also resistant to denaturation by 8 M urea, 80 mM dithiothreitol, and 5% beta-mercaptoethanol. Purified protease S66 was inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and diisopropyl fluorophosphate but not by EDTA, ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, or iodoacetic acid. These results indicate that S66 is a serine protease. Amino acid ester hydrolysis studies showed that protease S66 was hydrolytically active towards N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester.

Mutations in VP1 of poliovirus specifically affect both encapsidation and release of viral RNA.

The phenotypic defects of two type 1 Mahoney poliovirus mutants, termed VP1-101 and VP1-102, were caused by two different small deletions in the region of the RNA genome encoding the amino terminus of the capsid protein VP1. This portion of VP1 was unresolved in the three-dimensional structure of the poliovirion, buried within the virion, and likely to interact with the viral RNA. Both VP1-101 and VP1-102 showed a diminished ability to enter CV1 but not HeLa cells; both mutants formed plaques on CV1 and HeLa cells that were smaller than wild type. Neither the rate of binding to cells nor the rate of subsequent receptor-dependent conformational change of the mutant poliovirions was affected. However, both mutants displayed delayed kinetics of RNA release compared with wild-type virus. One of the mutants, VP1-102, also displayed a defect in viral morphogenesis: 75S empty capsids formed normally, but 150S particles that contained RNA accumulated much more slowly. We suggest that the VP1-102 mutation affects RNA encapsidation as well as RNA release, whereas the VP1-101 mutation affects only RNA release. Therefore, RNA packaging and RNA release are genetically linked but can be mutated separately in different VP1 alleles, and both processes involve the amino terminus of VP1.     

Insertion element IS102 resides in plasmid pSC101.

In vivo recombination was found to occur between plasmid pHS1, a temperature-sensitive replication mutant of pSC101 carrying tetracycline resistance, and plasmid ColE1 after selection for tetracycline resistance at the restrictive temperature, 42 degrees C. Extensive analysis of the physical structures of three of these recombinant plasmids, using restriction endonucleases and the electron microscope heteroduplex method, revealed that the plasmid pHS1 was integrated into different sites on ColE1. The recombinant plasmids contained a duplication of a unique 1-kilobase (kb) sequence of pHS1 in a direct orientation at the junctions between the two parental plasmid sequences. This was confirmed by comparing the nucleotide sequence of the recombinants and their parental plasmids. Nucleotide sequence analysis further revealed that nine nucleotides at the site of recombination of ColE1 were duplicated at the junction of each of the 1-kb sequences. The formation of recombinants was independent of RecA function. Based on our previous finding that a plasmid containing a deoxyribonucleic acid insertion (IS) element can recombine with a second plasmid to generate a duplication of the IS element, we conclude that the 1-kb sequence is an insertion sequence, which we named IS102. For convenience, we have also denoted the IS102 sequence as eta theta to assign the orientation of the sequence. Eighteen nucleotides at one end (eta end) were found to be repeated in an inverted orientation at the other end (theta end) of IS102. The nucleotide sequence of the eta end of the sequence was found to be identical to the sequence at the ends of the transposon Tn903, which is responsible for transposition of the kanamycin resistance gene.
