The chromosome-sized DNAs of sporulation-deficient mutants, which had been isolated by mutagenizing spores of a homothallic diploid strain (MT98a-3D) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. While the size of chromosome III DNA of the parent strain was 450 kb, some mutants had one or more chromosome III DNAs of 350 kb, 450 kb, 530 kb and 630 kb. No size variation was observed for other chromosomes. Chromosome III DNAs of laboratory-stock strains, except MT98a-3D, were in the neighborhood of 350 kb. Size variation of chromosome III was observed at a high frequency in spore clones derived from MT98a-3D strain. The results suggest that DNA-length polymorphisms of chromosome III are generated by the loss or addition of a specific DNA unit of approximately 100 kb. 相似文献

Using sequence analysis of internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2, RAPD-PCR, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of intact
chromosomal DNA, we investigated the molecular and genetic peculiarities of the genomes of 40 Yarrowia lipolytica strains. All the strains showed nearly identical ITS-sequences. On the other hand, karyotypic analysis revealed significant
differences in the chromosomal patterns of Y. lipolytica. The number and order of individual chromosomes vary from strain to strain. Chromosome-length polymorphism of the Y. lipopytica strains was pronounced and independent of their geographic origin and the source of isolation. Intraspecific polymorphism
of Y. lipolytica chromosomes is discussed. 相似文献

A molecular genetic map was constructed and an electrophoretic karyotype was resolved for Cochliobolus sativus, the causal agent of spot blotch of barley and wheat. The genetic map consists of 27 linkage groups with 97 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, 31 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers, two polymerase chain reaction amplified markers, the mating type locus (CsMAT), and a gene (VHv1) conditioning high virulence on barley cv. Bowman. These linkage groups covered a map distance of 849 cM. The virulence gene VHv1 cosegregated with six AFLP markers and was mapped on one of the major linkage groups. Fifteen chromosome-sized DNAs were resolved in C. sativus isolates ND93-1 and ND9OPr with contour-clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) electrophoresis combined with telomere probe analysis of comigrating chromosome-sized DNAs. The chromosome sizes ranged from 1.25 to 3.80 Mbp, and the genome size of the fungus was estimated to be approximately 33 Mbp. By hybridizing genetically mapped RFLP and AFLP markers to CHEF blots, 25 of the 27 linkage groups were assigned to specific chromosomes. The barley-specific virulence locus VHv1 was localized on a chromosome of 2.80 Mbp from isolate ND9OPr in the CHEF gel. The total map length of the fungus was estimated to be at least 1,329 cM based on the map distance covered by the linked markers and the estimated gaps. Therefore, the physical to genetic distance ratio is approximately 25 kb/cM. Construction of a high-resolution map around target loci will facilitate the cloning of the genes conferring virulence and other characters in C. sativus by a map-based cloning strategy. 相似文献

To validate strain typing by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis in shiitake (Lentinula edodes) cultivars, the reproducibility of AFLP markers with DNA extracted from the heat-dried fruiting body was evaluated. DNAs were extracted from three different portions of the heat-dried fruiting body – the stipe, pileus, and gill – and AFLP analysis of all parts was carried out using two combinations of selected amplification primer pairs. AFLP profiles of DNA from the gill tissue of heat-dried fruiting body were almost identical to those of cultured mycelia in the same strains, although it was difficult to detect reproducible AFLP profiles from stipe and pileus DNA. These results indicated that AFLP analysis would be applicable for strain typing with heat-dried fruiting bodies of L. edodes by using the DNA extracted from gills.Contribution No. 364 of the Tottori Mycological Institute 相似文献

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of plasmid DNAs in Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria were analysed using 77 strains from the United states, Argentina, Australia, Taiwan, and Korea. One or more plasmids were detected in all tested strains, irrespective of geographic origin, host plant from which isolated, or chemical resistance. All Korean strains contained a few plasmids of similar high molecular weight, whereas some small plasmids occured only in strains from the United States, Argentina, and Taiwan. After digesting total plasmid DNAs with each of four restriction endonucleases, 18 fragments with sizes from about 1 to 23 kb were visualized. Seventy-seven strains of diverse geographic origins, with different levels of resistance to streptomycin and copper, were classified into the 14 RFLP groups based on the restriction endonuclease digestion patterns of their plasmid DNAs. Strains belonging to each group shared DNA fragments of identical size, suggesting the possible presence of similar plasmids in these strains. A 5.8-kb EcoRI plasmid DNA probe prepared from the United States strain 81-23 hybridized to EcoRI plasmid digests from all tested strains. Other plasmid DNA fragments of the strain81-2,3 used as probes had no homology to plasmid DNA fragments from several strains around the world. The variation in hybridization profiles of plasmid DNA was very similar to the results obtained by RFLP analysis of plasmid DNA digested by four restriction enzymes. Most of the Korean strains tested were highly sensitive to streptomycin and copper, whereas most strains from other geographic areas showed a high level of resistance to one or two of the chemicals. Cluster analysis of genetic distance between the strains based on the data obtained generated the dendrograms that separated all Korean strains from the other strains, suggesting that plasmid DNA of the Korean strains may be genetically very different from those of the others. 相似文献

Previous comparisons of centromeric DNA sequences in laboratory strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have revealed conserved sequences within 120 base pairs (bp) which appear to be essential for centromere function. We wanted to find out whether centromeric DNA in Saccharomyces strains with different degrees of DNA sequence divergence carry the same conserved sequences or not. Bam HI DNA fragments from two S. cerevisiae strains and one Saccharomyces uvarum strain were cloned into a centromere selection vector and tested for centromere function in a S. cerevisiae laboratory strain. Fragments having centromere function were obtained at approximately equal frequencies from all three strains. Two of the S. uvarum centromeric DNAs and two of the S. cerevisiae centromeric DNAs were sequenced and shown to carry in a 120 bp region sequences essentially like those of centromeric DNA in S. cerevisiae laboratory strains. DNA hybridization to separated chromosomal DNAs revealed that the two newly determined S. cerevisiae centromeric DNA sequences belong to chromosomes V and XIII, respectively.

We constructed a recombination-based map of the fungal plant pathogen Gibberella fujikuroi mating population A (asexual stage Fusarium moniliforme). The map is based on the segregation of 142 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers, two auxotrophic genes (arg1, nic1), mating type (matA(+)/matA(-)), female sterility (ste1), spore-killer (Sk), and a gene governing the production of the mycotoxin fumonisin B(1) (fum1) among 121 random ascospore progeny from a single cross. We identified 12 linkage groups corresponding to the 12 chromosome-sized DNAs previously observed in contour-clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) gels. Linkage groups and chromosomes were correlated via Southern blots between appropriate RFLP markers and the CHEF gels. Eleven of the 12 chromosomes are meiotically stable, but the 12th (and smallest) is subject to deletions in 3% (4/121) of the progeny. Positive chiasma interference occurred on five of the 12 chromosomes, and nine of the 12 chromosomes averaged more than one crossover per chromosome. The average kb/cM ratio in this cross is ~32. 相似文献

Seven chromosome-sized DNA molecules in the Downs strain of Histoplasma capsulatum were resolved by using chromosome-specific DNA probes in blot hybridizations of contour-clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) and field-inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE) agarose gels. The sizes of the chromosomal DNA bands extended from that of the largest Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome to beyond that of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe chromosomes. Under our experimental conditions, the order of the five largest DNA bands was inverted in the FIGE gel relative to the CHEF gel, demonstrating a characteristic of FIGE whereby large DNA molecules may have greater rather than lesser mobility with increasing size. Comparison of the Downs strain with other H. capsulatum strains by CHEF and FIGE analysis revealed considerable variability in band mobility. The resolution of seven chromosome-sized DNA molecules in the Downs strain provides a minimum estimate of the chromosome number. 相似文献

Genetic differences among Agaricus blazei strains were investigated using somatic incompatibility testing, isozyme analysis, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Eight strains, one cultivated strain from Brazil and seven from Japan, were used in this study. Somatic incompatibility interactions were observed between the Brazilian cultivated strain and the Japanese strains. The Brazilian cultivated strain had its own distinct patterns of esterase isozyme and mtDNA RFLP, but all seven Japanese cultivated strains showed identical patterns. When the RAPD patterns, obtained using eight primers, were compared the eight strains had their own distinct RAPD profiles. Distance values were calculated between all pairs of the strains based on presence or absence of individual RAPD bands, and a dendrogram was constructed by unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic clustering (UPGMA) analysis. Seven Japanese cultivated strains were grouped to each other, and this group was finally linked to the Brazilian cultivated strain. Based on these results, the degree of genetic variation among the A. blazei strains used is discussed. 相似文献

The germination of spores of a neurotoxigenic Clostridium butyricum strain (BL 6340), which was isolated from infant botulism in Italy, and that of a non-toxigenic C. butyricum type strain (NCIB 7423) were studied. The spores of BL 6340 strain were killed at 80 C for 10 min, and required the mixture of L-alanine, L-lactate, glucose and bicarbonate for their optimal germination. These characteristics are the same as those of Clostridium botulinum type E strain, but different from those of NCIB 7423 strain. In a hybridization test, however, the labeled DNAs extracted from NCIB 7423 strain highly (98%) hybridized to the DNAs of the BL 6340 strain, but little (45%) to the DNAs of C. botulinum type E strain. The biochemical properties of the BL 6340 and NCIB 7423 strains were identical, but different from those of C. botulinum type E. These data confirmed that the BL 6340 strain belongs to C. butyricum species, but that only its characteristics of toxin production, its minimum requirements for germination, and the behavior of its spores to heat treatment are the same as those of C. botulinum type E. When conventionally raised suckling mice were injected with 5 × 107 spores of BL 6340 strain intra- or orogastrically, botulism was not observed. However, 8- to 13-day-old mice had type E botulinum toxin in the large intestine 3 days after introduction of its spores. 相似文献

Summary Methods are described for the electrophoretic separation of chromosome-sized DNA molecules from the fungal tomato pathogen Cladosporium fulvum (syn. Fulvia fulva). Using a hexagonal electrode array and switching times of 75 min at 45 V for 14 days, nine bands could be resolved. By comparison with co-electrophoresed Aspergillus nidulans chromosomal DNA (which was resolved into seven bands), the sizes of the C. fulvum bands are estimated to be between 1.9 Mb and 5.4 Mb. The two largest bands are believed to be doublets, giving a minimum genome size of 44 Mb. Cloned probes for the ribosomal DNA repeat, an anonymous single copy fragment and a newly discovered retrotransposon were hybridized to blots of the pulsed field gels, demonstrating the use of this technique for genomic mapping. Most strains of C. fulvum had an identical pattern of bands. Two strains exhibited two polymorphisms which could be due to a translocation. 相似文献

The distribution pattern of the hobo transposon and Dm412 retrotransposon hybridization sites on the salivary gland polytene chromosomes from larvae of the Drosophila melanogaster isogenic strain 51 used to analyze the effect of the transposition of transposable elements (TEs) on selection for quantitative
traits was studied. It was shown that no more than half of the Dm412 hybridization sites were retained 15 years after isogenization; the frequency of the Dm412 transposition varied from 2.0 × 10−4 to 8.8 × 10−5 sites per genome for generation depending on whether the appearance of the same hybridization sites in a part of individuals
was considered as independent events or as the manifestation of the appearing sample heterogeneity. The distribution patterns
of hobo hybridization sites in two isofemale strains derived from the isogenic strain 51 differed much more markedly; the number
of the hobo sites in one of the derivative strains was threefold smaller than in the other one and only some of the sites were common.
Within each derivative strain, the TE distribution was uniform, which suggests that inbreeding had no effect on Dm412 activity in this strain. The rates of change in the distribution patterns of various TE in the strain 51 corresponded to
their spontaneous transposition rates. Since the isogenic strain accumulates polymorphism in the TE distribution without selection,
the TEs are more likely to be the markers of selection events rather than their inducers. Thus, when studying the effects
of various environmental factors on TE transposition even in isogenic strains, it is necessary to perform additional close
inbreeding to reduce the potential polymorphism. 相似文献

We produced electrophoretic karyotypes of the reference strain E150 and of seven other isolates from different geographical
origins to study the genomic organization of the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. These karyotypes differed in the number and size of the chromosomal bands. The karyotype of the reference stain E150 consisted
of five bands of between 2.6 and 4.9 Mb in size. This strain contained at least five rDNA clusters, from 190 to 620 kb in
size, which were scattered over most of the chromosomes. The assignment of 43 markers, including rRNA genes and three centromeres,
to the E150 bands defined five linkage groups. Hybridization to the karyotypes of other isolates with pools of markers of
each linkage group showed that linkage groups I, II, IV and V were conserved in the strains tested whereas group III was not
and was split between at least two chromosomes in most strains. Use of a meganuclease I-SceI site targeted to one locus of E150 linkage group III showed that two chromosomes actually comigrated in band III of this
strain. Our results are compatible with six chromosomes defining the haploid complement of strains of Y. lipolytica and that, despite an unprecedented chromosome length polymorphism, the overall structure of the genome is conserved in different
isolates.

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis has been used to resolve chromosome-sized DNA molecules in fungi and parasites but has not yet been used successfully to examine the chromosomes of other lower eukaryotes used extensively for biochemical research such as Acanthamoeba, Physarum, and Dictyostelium. Here we show an electrophoretic karyotype of the protozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii using orthogonal field alternating gel electrophoresis (OFAGE). There are about 20 small chromosomes ranging in size from 220 kb to >2 Mb. We have assembled initial linkage groups assigning all of the cloned Acanthamoeba genes to chromosome-sized DNA molecules. Actin, suggested to have three or more non-allelic genes, maps to at least eight distinct chromosome bands. Two myosin II genes localize to two different chromosomal bands while myosin IB and 18S rRNA map to unresolved larger chromosomes.Abbreviations OFAGE

Progeny from a sexual outcross between opposite mating types of Pythium sylvaticum were analyzed for inheritance of RFLP and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Although most were inherited in expected Mendelian frequencies, several were not. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis was employed to examine these unexpected patterns of marker inheritance at a karyotypic level. Parental oogonial and antheridial isolates had different electrophoretic karyotypes and minimum number of chromosome-sized DNAs (13 and 12, respectively), however, summation of the sizes of all chromosomal bands for each isolate was similar at ~37 Mb. Progeny karyotypes differed significantly from each other and the parental isolates, ranging in estimated minimum number of chromosome-sized DNAs from 9 to 13 and the summation of band sizes within each isolate from 28.1 to 39.0 Mb. For the eight isolates most extensively analyzed, 80% of the progeny chromosome-sized DNAs were nonparental in size or hybridization grouping of cDNA clones and isolated RAPD markers. Based on the results of Southern analysis it appears that length mutations and perhaps aneuploidy and translocations have contributed to generation of karyotypic polymorphisms. Nineteen field isolates of P. sylvaticum collected from the same location also exhibited significantly different karyotypes, suggesting that the meiotic instability observed in the laboratory also is occurring in field populations. 相似文献

Restriction fragment length polymorphism of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification products differentiated Rickettsia japonica, a causative agent of Oriental spotted fever, from other spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae. Primer pair Rr190. 70p and Rr190. 602n of R. rickettsii 190-kDa antigen gene sequence primed genomic DNAs obtained from R. japonica, type strain YH and strains NT, NK, YKI, and TKN. The products were cleaved by PstI but not by AfaI restriction endonuclease. The PstI digestion pattern of PCR-products amplified from all strains of R. japonica was identical and easily differentiated from that of other SFG rickettsiae. The present study demonstrated a genotypic difference between R. japonica and other pathogenic SFG rickettsiae. 相似文献

Differentiation of ruminal and human Streptococcus bovis strains by DNA homology and 16s rRNA probes
Streptococcus bovis is commonly present in the rumen, but strains of S. bovis have also occasionally been isolated from human blood or fecal samples. Studies were undertaken with 16s rRNA gene sequences and DNA hybridizations to define the genetic relationships between these two groups of strains. Ruminal strains were found to yield genomic DNA restriction endonuclease digest patterns different from human strains when either the 16s rRNA gene amplified from ruminal S. bovis strain JB1 or a conserved universal 23s rRNA fragment was used as probes. A DNA probe based on the V1 region of the 16s rRNA of S. bovis JB1 was found to hybridize to DNAs of other ruminal S. bovis strains K27FF4, 21-09-6C, five new ruminal isolates, and weak hybridization was found with DNAs from S. bovis 33317 (type strain), S. equinus 9812, and six other ruminal isolates. No hybridization occurred with strains representing different major human biotypes/homology groups (43143, 43144, 27960, V1387). All ruminal S. bovis strains had a guanosine plus cytosine DNA content of 37.4–38.8 mol% and, based on DNA-DNA genomic hybridizations, could be separated into two homology groups, one of which included S. equinus 9812 and S. bovis 33317. Both ruminal groups had less than 38% DNA homology to the human strains, indicating ruminal strains are clearly two separate species distinct from the human strains. 相似文献

Use of disomic strains to study the arrangement of ribosomal cistrons in saccharomyces of ribosomal cistrons in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Summary Disomic strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae were studied by DNA-rRNA hybridization to examine the arrangement of rRNA cistrons on yeast chromosomes as well as to identify a disomic strain which was enriched for rRNA cistrons. Four of the five disomic strains tested showed a per cent hybridization lower than wild type. Two of these strains were found to be disomic for more than one chromosome. A slight increase in the per cent hybridization was observed with DNA isolated from one disomic strain. It was concluded that some chromosomes inSaccharomyces cerevisiae had few if any rRNA cistrons suggesting that the rRNA cistrons are non randomly distributed over the genome. From DNA-tRNA hybridization experiments, evidence for the presence of tyrosine tRNA genes on chromosomes VI was obtained. 相似文献

Summary The electrophoretic karyotiype of 11 strains of the phytophatogenic fungus Septoria nodorum has been established by pulsed field gel electrophoresis with the CHEF DRII system. Each strain had a similar overall karyotype with 14–19 chromosomes being resolved in the size interval between approximately 0.5 and 3.5 megabase pairs (Mb). However, there were clear differences in karyotype both between and within groups of strains adapted to wheat or to barley. Considerable karyotype variation was apparent even among 6 wheat-adapted strains isolated from the same population. Only 2 strains possessed identical karyotypes; these were isolated from the same leaf and were heterokaryon-compatible and are probably independent isolates of the same clone. 相似文献

Both serological and DNA sequence analyses were performed to determine the extent of genetic polymorphism inQ region genes. A panel of Qa-2-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was tested on 35 wildderived and inbred mouse strains. Members of this reagent panel recognize multiple and distinct epitopes on the Qa-2-bearing molecule(s). Although quantitative variations in Qa-2 levels were observed, no structural polymorphisms were detected. All strains were either entirely positive or entirely negative with the complete set of reagents. Moreover, cell surface Qa-2 expression was not significantly affected by differences in age or sex of the mouse or cell cycle status. To confirm this apparent lack of genetic polymorphism, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to amplify a portion of the 3 end of theQ region genes,Q4 toQ9, from several independent wild-derived strains of mice. Sequence analysis of the amplified material revealed very little evidence of nucleotide divergence. All strains tested had aQ even DNA sequence identical to that ofQ6/Q8 in the B10 strain. Likewise, all tested strains had aQ odd DNA sequence identical toQ7/Q9 in the B10 strain. Two strains showed additionalQ even sequences, while all strains tested possessed additionalQ odd sequences. The observed lack of polymorphism suggests that theQ genes have evolved in a different manner fromH-2K andH-2D. Moreover, duplications of these genes appear to have arisen prior to nucleotide sequence divergence.The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to the GenBank nucleotide sequence database and have been assigned the accession numbers M30896-30902. 相似文献
