利用叶绿体基因组进化中高度保守的特点,根据烟草叶绿体基因组全序列设计引物,从甘薯(Ipomoea batatas)叶绿体基因组中克隆了2个相邻的功能基因rbcL(GenBank登录号为AY942199)和accD(GenBank登录号为AY942200),并以此作为定点整合外源基因的同源重组片段.以来自叶绿体基因组的强启动子Prrn和RpsbA-pro分别驱动选择标记基因aadA及phaC-gfp融合基因,构建成表达盒prrn-aadA-TpsbA-ter与RpsbA-pro-phaC-gfp-RpsbA-ter,然后将这2个表达盒串联在一起克隆进甘薯叶绿体同源片段中,获得甘薯叶绿体定点整合表达载体pSC-GFP.酶切分析证明,所构建的载体符合预期设计;采用该载体对甘薯叶片进行基因枪转化,结果显示,phaC-gfp融合基因可在叶绿体特异启动子和终止子的调控下在甘薯幼嫩叶片中瞬间表达,证明构建的载体pSC-GFP可用于甘薯叶绿体转化. 相似文献

A comparative genomics approach was utilised to compare the genomes of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) isolated from early onset paediatric Crohn's disease (CD) patients as well as Johne's diseased animals. Draft genome sequences were produced for MAP isolates derived from four CD patients, one ulcerative colitis (UC) patient, and two non-inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) control individuals using Illumina sequencing, complemented by comparative genome hybridisation (CGH). MAP isolates derived from two bovine and one ovine host were also subjected to whole genome sequencing and CGH. All seven human derived MAP isolates were highly genetically similar and clustered together with one bovine type isolate following phylogenetic analysis. Three other sequenced isolates (including the reference bovine derived isolate K10) were genetically distinct. The human isolates contained two large tandem duplications, the organisations of which were confirmed by PCR. Designated vGI-17 and vGI-18 these duplications spanned 63 and 109 open reading frames, respectively. PCR screening of over 30 additional MAP isolates (3 human derived, 27 animal derived and one environmental isolate) confirmed that vGI-17 and vGI-18 are common across many isolates. Quantitative real-time PCR of vGI-17 demonstrated that the proportion of cells containing the vGI-17 duplication varied between 0.01 to 15% amongst isolates with human isolates containing a higher proportion of vGI-17 compared to most animal isolates. These findings suggest these duplications are transient genomic rearrangements. We hypothesise that the over-representation of vGI-17 in human derived MAP strains may enhance their ability to infect or persist within a human host by increasing genome redundancy and conferring crude regulation of protein expression across biologically important regions. 相似文献

The methods of molecular biology allow for analyzing the methylation pattern in the whole genome and in particular genes. We differentiate methylated sequences from unmethylated ones by means of cutting the genomic template with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes or by sodium bisulfite DNA modification. Chemical modification precedes most quantitative and qualitative PCR techniques: MS-PCR, MS-nested PCR, Real-Time PCR, QAMA, HeavyMethyl, MSHRM. Restriction enzymes, on the other hand, may be used together with PCR or hybridisation methods (Southern blot and microarrays). PCRs are conducted with primers specific for methylated and unmethylated sequences and sometimes, similarly to hybridisation techniques, with specifically labeled probes or dyes intercalating to double-stranded nucleic acids. The most advanced methylation detection techniques (MALDI-TOF MS and HPLC) significantly reduce the amount of biological material used for tests, but they require specialist equipment. 相似文献

Very similar genome sizes, similar karyotypes and heterochromatin organisation, and identical number/position of ribosomal loci characterise the common oak (Q. robur) and the cork oak (Q. suber), two distantly related oak species. Representational Difference Analysis (RDA) was used to subtract the genome of Q. suber from the genome of Q. robur in order to search for genome differentiation. A library of 400 clones (bearing RDA fragments) representing genome differences between the two species was obtained. Seven Q. robur-specific DNA sequences were analysed with respect to their molecular and chromosome organisation. All belong to the dispersed repetitive component of the genome, as revealed by Southern hybridisation and in situ hybridisation. They are present in the Q. robur genome in between 100 and 700 copies, and are distributed along the length of almost all chromosomes. A search for homologies between RDA fragments and sequences in Genbank revealed similarities of all RDA fragments with known retrotransposons. The RDA fragments were also tested for their presence/absence in the genomes of six additional oak species belonging to different phylogenetic groups, in order to examine the evolutionary dynamics of these DNA sequences. 相似文献

Higher eukaryotes contain within their DNA numerous arrays of repetitive DNA, many of which are known as satellite DNAs and display extensive variability. The presence of these repeats has been demonstrated for various species and they have been used for genetic identification and classification. Here, it is demonstrated that Southern hybridisation of DNA from rodent malaria parasites allows detection of micro- and minisatellite sequences in the genome of Plasmodium species. Closely related lines of malaria parasites exhibit a monomorphic hybridisation pattern, which is in contrast to the allelic variation observed in higher eukaryotes. Among different species, however, restriction-fragment length polymorphism was observed. Pulsed-field gel electrophoretic chromosome separation showed that the probes used in this study [33.15, 33.6, (CAC)n and (GT)n] detect several loci spread over different chromosomes. 相似文献

Trait genes are usually introduced into the plant genome together with a marker gene. The last one becomes unnecessary after transgene selection and characterization. One of the strategies to produce transgenic plants free from the selectable marker is based on site-specific recombination. The present study employed the transient Cre-lox system to remove the nptII marker gene from potato. Transient marker gene excision involves introduction of Cre protein in lox-target plants by PVX virus vector followed by plant regeneration. Using optimized experimental conditions, such as particle bombardment infection method and application of P19 silencing suppressor protein, 20-27% of regenerated plants were identified by PCR analysis as marker-free. Based on our comparison of the recombination frequencies observed in this study to the efficiency of other methods to avoid or eliminate marker genes in potato, we suggest that PVX-Cre mediated site-specific excisional recombination is a useful tool to generate potato plants without superfluous transgenic sequences. 相似文献

Sporadic outbreaks of potato yellow vein disease (PYVD) were first observed in the early 1940's by potato growers in Antioquia, Colombia. Long known to be transmitted by the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum), the precise identity of its causal agent (presumably viral in nature) has remained obscure. Here, we present evidence that a closterovirus with a bipartite genome, potato yellow vein virus (PYVV), is associated with PYVD. Electrophoretic analysis revealed that diseased tissue contains 4–5 disease‐specific dsRNAs ranging in size from c. 9 000–1 800 bp. RT‐PCR reactions containing pairs of degenerate primers directed against conserved motifs in the closterovirus heat‐shock protein homologue produced products of the expected sizes. Comparison of the corresponding amino acid sequences revealed striking similarities between PYVV and two bipartite, whitefly‐transmitted criniviruses, Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder and Tomato chlorosis viruses. Epidemiological surveys carried out in Rionegro, Colombia identified Polygonum mepalense, Polygonum spp., Rumex obtusifolium, Tagetes spp., and Catharanthus roseus as potential viral reservoirs. PYVV is transmitted through tubers, and visual symptoms alone cannot be used to determine infection status. A sensitive hybridisation‐based assay for PYVV has been developed for use in seed certification programmes. 相似文献

The properties of DNA segments containing foldback elements were studied after their selection from a ‘random’ recombinant library of Physarum polycephalum nuclear DNA sequences, cloned using the plasmid vector pBR322. Hybridisation of in vitro labelled recombinant plasmids to Southern blots of genomic restriction fragments demonstrated that each cloned segment contained repetitive elements located at several hundred sites in the genome. Two of the DNA clones generated hybridisation patterns which suggested that they contain repetitive elements with internal cleavage sites for the restriction endonuclease HaeIII. Cross-hybridisation of all combinations of the cloned sequences showed that most contain different arrangements of repetitive elements derived from different sequence families. The results are consistent with a model proposed previously on the basis of studies on total nuclear DNA, for the organisation of sequences closely associated with foldback elements in the Physarum genome 相似文献

Regions of amino acid conservation in the NBS domain of NBS-LRR resistance proteins facilitated the PCR isolation of eight resistance gene analog (RGA) sequences from genomic DNA of rice, barley, and Aegilops tauschii. These clones and other RGAs previously isolated from maize, rice, and wheat were assigned to 13 classes by DNA-sequence comparison and by their patterns of hybridisation to restricted barley DNA. Using a doubled-haploid mapping population, probes from 12 RGA classes were used to map 17 loci in the barley genome. Many of these probes have been used for mapping in wheat, and the collective data indicate that the positions of orthologous RGAs are conserved between barley and wheat. RGA loci were identified in the vicinity of barley leaf rust resistance loci Rph4, Rph7, and Rph10. Recombinants were identified between RGA loci and Rph7 and Rph10, while a cluster of RGA sequences detected by probe 5.2 cosegregated with Rph4 in 55 F2 lines. 相似文献

We studied the structure, organization and relationship of repetitive DNA sequences in the genome of the scallop, Pecten maximus, a bivalve that is important both commercially and in marine ecology. Recombinant DNA libraries were constructed after partial digestion of genomic DNA from scallop with PstI and ApaI restriction enzymes. Clones containing repetitive DNA were selected by hybridisation to labelled DNA from scallop, oyster and mussel; colonies showing strong hybridisation only to scallop were selected for analysis and sequencing. Six non-homologous tandemly repeated sequences were identified in the sequences, and Southern hybridisation with all repeat families to genomic DNA digests showed characteristic ladders of hybridised bands. Three families had monomer lengths around 40 bp while three had repeats characteristic of the length wrapping around one (170 bp), or two (326 bp) nucleosomes. In situ hybridisation to interphase nuclei showed each family had characteristic numbers of clusters indicating contrasting arrangements. Two of the repeats had unusual repetitions of bases within their sequence, which may relate to the nature of microsatellites reported in bivalves. The study of these rapidly evolving sequences is valuable to understand an important source of genomic diversity, has the potential to provide useful markers for population studies and gives a route to identify mechanisms of DNA sequence evolution. 相似文献

PCR primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence have identified DNA polymorphisms useful for genetic mapping in a large variety of organisms. Although technically very powerful, the use of arbitrary primers for genome mapping has the disadvantage of characterizing DNA sequences of unknown function. Thus, there is no reason to anticipate that DNA fragments amplified by use of arbitrary primers will be enriched for either transcribed or promoter sequences that may be conserved in evolution. For these reasons, we modified the arbitrarily primed PCR method by using oligonucleotide primers derived from conserved promoter elements and protein motifs. Twenty-nine of these primers were tested individually and in pairwise combinations for their ability to amplify genomic DNA from a variety of species including various inbred strains of laboratory mice and Mus spretus. Using recombinant inbred strains of mice, we determined the chromosomal location of 27 polymorphic fragments in the mouse genome. The results demonstrated that motif sequence-tagged PCR products are reliable markers for mapping the mouse genome and that motif primers can also be used for genomic fingerprinting of many divergent species. 相似文献

The first known families of tRNA-related short interspersed elements (SINEs) in the oomycetes were identified by exploiting the genomic DNA sequence resources for the potato late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans. Fifteen families of tRNA-related SINEs, as well as predicted tRNAs, and other possible RNA polymerase III-transcribed sequences were identified. The size of individual elements ranges from 101 to 392 bp, representing sequences present from low (1) to highly abundant (over 2000) copy number in the P. infestans genome, based on quantitative PCR analysis. Putative short direct repeat sequences (6-14 bp) flanking the elements were also identified for eight of the SINEs. Predicted SINEs were named in a series prefixed infSINE (for infestans-SINE). Two SINEs were apparently present as multimers of tRNA-related units; four copies of a related unit for infSINEr, and two unrelated units for infSINEz. Two SINEs, infSINEh and infSINEi, were typically located within 400 bp of each other. These were also the only two elements identified as being actively transcribed in the mycelial stage of P. infestans by RT-PCR. It is possible that infSINEh and infSINEi represent active retrotransposons in P. infestans. Based on the quantitative PCR estimates of copy number for all of the elements identified, tRNA-related SINEs were estimated to comprise 0.3% of the 250 Mb P. infestans genome. InfSINE-related sequences were found to occur in species throughout the genus Phytophthora. However, seven elements were shown to be exclusive to P. infestans. 相似文献

通过PCR克隆的方法,获得了分别来自二倍体长穗偃麦草的E基因组和四倍体长穗偃麦草的E_1基因组的4个高分子量麦谷蛋白亚基(HMW-GS)基因启动子的部分序列。序列分析表明,它们之间的同源性较高,两个x型亚基启动子序列之间只有1个碱基的差异,而两个y型亚基启动子序列完全相同,x和y型亚基启动子序列之间的长度和部分碱基位点都有差异。推测四倍体长穗偃麦草中的E_1基因组可能起源于二倍体的E基因组。与来自小麦族的A、B、D和G基因组部分亚基基因的启动子序列比较表明,小麦族的这一区域在进化上是相当保守的,不同基因组来源的序列同源性都在90%以上。经过对这些序列的聚类分析,表明长穗偃麦草的y型HMW-GS基因与其他亚基基因的进化关系较远,而x型亚基基因与一个来自小麦1B染色体的亚基基因关系最近。 相似文献

Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) the sensitive and specific detection of the antibiotic resistance gene mecA has been demonstrated. The gene sequence was obtained from clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Initially a mecA specific probe was selected from hybridisation tests with a 3' and 5' version of a previously published probe sequence. When immobilised on a gold electrode in PNA form it was possible to detect hybridisation of mecA PCR product electrochemically at concentrations as low as 10nM. By incorporating an undecane-thiol and 1.8 nm glycol spacer into the PNA probe it was possible to extend the limit of detection for mecA to 10 pM. Most published studies on EIS and nucleic acid detection report the use of short artificial DNA sequences or novel signal amplification schemes which improve sensitivity whereas this study reports the successful detection of long DNA fragments produced by PCR following extraction from clinical isolates. Finally, using screen printed electrodes the paper demonstrates hybridisation monitoring of mecA in an "on-line" assay format under ambient conditions which paves the way for rapid mecA detection in point of care scenarios. 相似文献
