寿光鸡ADSL基因5′调控区的克隆、序列分析以及单核苷酸多态性的研究

腺苷酸琥珀酸裂解酶(ADSL)是双功能酶,催化嘌呤核苷酸的起始合成与嘌呤核苷酸的循环。通过对寿光鸡ADSL 5′调控区1035bp的序列进行克隆和测序分析,发现其具有典型的管家基因特征：没有真核基因明显的TATA盒和CAAT盒出现,并且位于起始密码子(ATG)前234个碱基具有非常高的GC含量达72．65％。在邻近起始密码子“ATG”处,5′调控区含有两个核呼吸因子-2(NRF-2),在相同位置上人类ADSL基因也具有与此类似的两个核呼吸因子-2结合位点,被认为在嘌呤核苷酸合成途径起到重要作用。值得一提的是位于寿光鸡5′侧翼调控区-27号碱基发生C→T突变,存在于所有研究的寿光鸡个体中,频率为1。该突变使得本来不是NRF-2(核呼吸因子2)结合位点的CTCC突变为NRF-2结合位点CTTC。而人类却恰恰与此相反第一个NRF-2结合位点发生了突变(CTTC→CTCC),并导致出现ADSL缺陷症状。

离子注入诱变莲花突变体分子机理的初步研究

低能离子注入技术作为生物物理诱变的一种新型技术, 在园艺植物育种方面具有很大的应用潜力, 但其诱变的分子机理目前知之甚少。文章对Fe+ 离子注入诱变的白洋淀红莲(Nelumbium speciosum Willd)突变体及其对照的基因组进行RAPD研究, 并将突变体和对照在辐射敏感位点的条带进行克隆测序及DNA序列分析。在已优化好的RAPD体系下扩增, 从110条随机引物中筛选出了10条可以稳定扩增出显著特异条带的引物, 引物多态性为9.09%。将这10条引物扩增出的辐射敏感位点的条带进行克隆测序, 并进行序列比对。结果显示: 突变体的总碱基突变频率为0.87%, 6个突变体的碱基突变频率存在着差异; 碱基突变类型包括碱基的颠换、转换、缺失、插入, 在检测到的159个碱基突变中, 单碱基置换的频率(61.01%)高于碱基插入或者缺失的频率(38.99%), 在碱基置换中, 转换的频率(44.65%)是颠换频率(16.35%)的2.7倍, 其中C/T之间的转换所占比例最大, A→G和A→T也具有较高的替换频率; 构成DNA的4种碱基均可以被离子束辐照诱变发生变异, 除了没有C→G的置换外, 每一种碱基都可以被其他的几种碱基所置换, 但是胸腺嘧啶(T)具有较高的辐射敏感性。通过对碱基突变位点周边序列的分析发现, 嘌呤突变位点的周围嘌呤碱居多, 嘧啶突变位点的周围嘧啶碱居多。研究结果为揭示低能离子注入诱变作用分子机理提供了依据。     

A novel approach for improving the productivity of ubiquinone-10 producing strain by low-energy ion beam irradiation

Agrobacterium tumefaciens ATCC4452 cells were irradiated by nitrogen ion beam, a new mutagen, with energy of 10 keV and fluence ranging from 2.6×10¹⁴ ions/cm² to 6.5×10¹⁵ ions/cm². A similar “saddle shape” survival curve due to ion beam irradiation appeared again in this study. Some mutants with high yield of ubiquinone-10 were induced by ion implantation. High mutation rate and wide mutation spectrum were also observed in the experiment. These results suggested that the mutagenic effect of such low-energy ion influx into bacterium cells could result from multiple processes involving direct collision of particles with cytoplasm, nucleolus, and cascade atomic and molecular reactions due to plentiful primary and secondary particles.     

Interaction of EcoRII restriction and modification enzymes with synthetic DNA fragments. VI. The binding and cleavage of substrates containing nucleotide analogs.

The present study deals with the binding and cleavage by EcoRII endonuclease of concatemer DNA duplexes containing EcoRII recognition sites (formula; see text) in which dT is replaced by dU or 5-bromodeoxyuridine, or 5'-terminal dC in the dT-containing strand is methylated at position 5. The enzyme molecule is found to interact with the methyl group of the dT residue of the DNA recognition site and to be at least in proximity to the H5 atom of the 5'-terminal dC residue in dT-containing strand of this site. Modification of any of these positions exerts an equal effects on the cleavage of both DNA strands. Endonuclease EcoRII was found to bind the substrate specifically. At the same time modification of the bases in recognized sequence may result in the formation of unproductive, though stable, enzyme-substrate complexes.     

Misincorporation in DNA synthesis after modification of template or polymerase by MNNG, MMS and UV radiation

The synthetic DNA polymers, poly(dG-dC), poly(dC), poly(dA-dT), poly(dA) and poly(dT), were treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and UV irradiation. The modified polymers were used as templates to examine the incorporation of non-complementary nucleotides by E. coli DNA polymerase I. Methylation of poly(dG-dC) by MNNG predominantly induced the misincorporation of dTMP, whereas methylation by MMS induced that of dAMP. Treatment of poly(dT) with MNNG caused the misincorporation of dGMP to a considerable extent, but MMS did not enhance the error on poly(dT). The misincorporation of dAMP on poly(dC) and that of dGMP on poly(dA) were also increased by these chemicals. UV irradiation of poly(dT) and poly(dC) induced the error of dGMP and dAMP, respectively. These data on MNNG and MMS in vitro were in fair agreement with the directions of mutation in vivo. But the predominant induction of transitions by UV in vitro did not agree with the UV-induced transversions in E. coli. This inconsistency suggested the participation of other factors than direct mispairing in UV-induced transversion. Modification of DNA polymerase I by MNNG changed the ratio of polymerase to 3' leads to 5' exonuclease activity altering the fidelity of this enzyme, whereas MMS and UV-irradiation did not alter the fidelity of the enzyme.     

Bromodeoxyuridine mutagenesis in mammalian cells is stimulated by purine deoxyribonucleosides

The effects of purine deoxyribonucleosides on bromodeoxyurdine (BrdU) mutagenesis in Syrian hamster melanoma cells were determined. Both deoxyguanosine (dG) and deoxyadenosine (dA) were found to stimulate mutagenesis without changing the amount of BrdU in DNA. In addition, the stimulation of mutagenesis by dG and dA was suppressed by the addition of deoxycytidine (dC). These results suggest that BrdU mutagenesis involves the perturbation of dC metabolism, which perturbation is enhanced by dGTP and dATP. The mutagenic activity of dG in the absence of BrdU was tested, as was that of thymidine (dT), which we had shown previously to stimulate BrdU mutageneis. With dG alone, no increase above the spontaneous mutation frequency was detected. However, at extremely high concentration, dT in the absence of BrdU was slightly mutagenic, and the mutagenesis by dT was enhanced by dG and suppressed by dC.     

NMR studies of the exocyclic 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine adduct (epsilon dA) opposite thymidine in a DNA duplex. Nonplanar alignment of epsilon dA(anti) and dT(anti) at the lesion site

Two-dimensional proton NMR studies are reported on the complementary d(C-A-T-G-T-G-T-A-C).d(G-T-A-C-epsilon A-C-A-T-G) nonanucleotide duplex (designated epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex) containing 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine (epsilon dA), a carcinogen-DNA adduct, positioned opposite thymidine in the center of the helix. Our NMR studies have focused on the conformation of the epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex at neutral pH with emphasis on defining the alignment at the dT5.epsilon dA14 lesion site. The through-space NOE distance connectivities establish that both dT5 and epsilon dA14 adopt anti glycosidic torsion angles, are directed into the interior of the helix, and stack with flanking Watson-Crick dG4.dC15 and dG6.dC13 pairs. Furthermore, the d(G4-T5-G6).d(C13-epsilon A14-C15) trinucleotide segment centered about the dT5.epsilon dA14 lesion site adopts a right-handed helical conformation in solution. Energy minimization computations were undertaken starting from six different alignments of dT5(anti) and epsilon dA14(anti) at the lesion site and were guided by distance constraints defined by lower and upper bounds estimated from NOESY data sets on the epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex. Two families of energy-minimized structures were identified with the dT5 displaced toward either the flanking dG4.dC15 or the dG6.dC13 base pair. These structures can be differentiated on the basis of the observed NOEs from the imino proton of dT5 to the imino proton of dG4 but not dG6 and to the amino protons of dC15 but not dC13 that were not included in the constraints data set used in energy minimization. Our NMR data are consistent with a nonplanar alignment of epsilon dA14(anti) and dT5(anti) with dT5 displaced toward the flanking dG4.dC15 base pair within the d(G4-T5-G6).d(C13-epsilon A14-C15) segment of the epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex.

A novel approach to microbial breeding—low-energy ion implantation

Low-energy ions exist widely in the natural world. People had neglected the interaction between low-energy ions and material; it was even more out of the question to study the relation of low-energy ions and the complicated organism until the biological effects of low-energy ion implantation were discovered in 1989. Nowadays, the value of low-energy ion beam implantation, as a new breeding way, has drawn extensive attention of biologists and breeding experts. In this review, the understanding and utilization of microbial breeding by low-energy ion beam irradiation is summarized, including the characteristics of an ion beam bioengineering facility, present status of the technology of low-energy ions for microbial breeding, and new insights into microbial biotechnology.
