Three different group I introns in the nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA of the amoeboflagellate Naegleria.

We have amplified the large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSUrDNA) of the 12 described Naegleria spp. and of 34 other Naegleria lineages that might be distinct species. Two strains yielded a product that is longer than 3 kb, which is the length of the LSUrDNA of all described Naegleria spp. Sequencing data revealed that the insert in one of these strains is a group I intron without an open reading frame (ORF), while the other strain contains two different group I introns, of which the second intron has an ORF of 175 amino acids. In the latter ORF there is a conserved His-Cys box, as in the homing endonucleases present in group I introns in the small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSUrDNA) of Naegleria spp. Although the group I introns in the LSUrDNA differ in sequence, they are more related to each other than they are to the group I introns in the SSUrDNA of Naegleria spp. The three group I introns in the LSUrDNA in Naegleria are at different locations and are probably acquired by horizontal transfer, contrary to the SSUrDNA group I introns in this genus which are of ancestral origin and are transmitted vertically.     

The novel organization and complete sequence of the ribosomal RNA gene of Nosema bombycis

We present here for the first time the complete DNA sequence data (4301bp) of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene of the microsporidian type species, Nosema bombycis. Sequences for the large subunit gene (LSUrRNA: 2497bp, GenBank Accession No. ), the internal transcribed spacer (ITS: 179bp, GenBank Accession No. ), the small subunit gene (SSUrRNA: 1232bp), intergenic spacer (IGS: 279bp), and 5S region (114bp) are also given, and the secondary structure of the large subunit is discussed. The organization of the N. bombycis rRNA gene is LSUrRNA-ITS-SSUrRNA-IGS-5S. This novel arrangement, in which the LSU is 5' of the SSU, is the reverse of the organizational sequence (i.e., SSU-ITS-LSU) found in all previously reported microsporidian rRNAs, including Nosema apis. This unique character in the type species may have taxonomic implications for the members of the genus Nosema.     

Complete sequence and gene organization of the Nosema heliothidis ribosomal RNA gene region

By sequencing the entire ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene region of Nosema heliothidis isolated from cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), we showed that its gene organization is similar to the type species, Nosema bombycis: the 5'-large subunit rRNA (2,490 bp)-internal transcribed spacer (192 bp)-small subunit rRNA (1,232 bp)-intergenic spacer (274 bp)-5S rRNA (115 bp)-3'. We constructed two phylogenetic trees, analyzed phylogenetic relationships, examined rRNA organization of microsporidia, and compared the secondary structure of small subunit rRNA with closely related microsporidia. The latter two features may provide important information for the classification and phylogenetic analysis of microsporidia.     

Complete sequence and gene organization of the Nosema spodopterae rRNA gene

By sequencing the entire ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene of Nosema spodopterae, we show here that its gene organization follows a pattern similar to the Nosema type species, Nosema bombycis, i.e. 5'-large subunit rRNA (2,497 bp)-internal transcribed spacer (185 bp)-small subunit rRNA (1,232 bp)-intergenic spacer (277 bp)-5S rRNA (114 bp)-3'. Gene sequences and the secondary structures of large subunit rRNA, small subunit rRNA, and 5S rRNA are compared with the known corresponding sequences and structures of closely related microsporidia. The results suggest that the Nosema genus may be heterogeneous and that the rRNA gene organization may be a useful characteristic for determining which species are closely related to the type species.     

耐辐射奇球菌超氧化物歧化酶基因的克隆与序列分析

By using a 453 bp length gene fragment of superoxide dismutase(SOD)as a probe,which was firstly amplified from Deinococcus radiodurans genomic DNA by PCR with degenerate oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the conservative regions of known SODs,a putative SOD gene was identified from the database of D.radiodurans whole genome.Its 636 bp length open reading frame and 5′ and 3′ flanking sequence was determined.The conventional E.coli ribosomal and RNA polymerase binding sites were found upstream from SOD encoding region and an inverted repeat sequence downstream of the termination codon.The deduced 211 amino acid sequence of the structural gene showed a high similarity to other manganese and iron containing SODs in normally conserve regions.     

Structure of ribosomal RNA gene and phytogeny ofNosema isolates in Korea

The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene region of the fourNosema sp. isolates (C01, C02, C03 and C04) fromPieris rapae in Korea has been examined. Complete DNA sequence data (3779 bp) of The rRNA gene ofNosema sp. C01 are presented for the small subunit gene (SSU rRNA: 1236 bp), the internal transcribed spacer (ITS: 37 bp), and the large subunit gene (LSU rRNA 2506 bp). The secondary structures ofNosema sp. COI SSU and LSU rRNA genes are constructed and described. The SSU rRNA showed a hypervariable V4 region identified four additional stems including a pseudoknot. Phylogenetic analysis based on the SSU rRNA suggests that the four isolates belong to the ‘true’Nosema group. In contrast to theNosema/Vairimorpha clade, the members of the group are highly divergent.     

Strain-dependent sequence heterogeneity in the nuclear group I introns and large subunit ribosomal RNA in Physarum polycephalum.

The DNA sequence of an internal EcoRI fragment in the large subunit ribosomal RNA gene from the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum, strain M3C, has been determined. This ribosomal DNA fragment contain two group I introns. Sequence heterogeneity in the two introns and in the coding region of the ribosomal RNA were identified upon comparison to the strain PPO-1 sequence. The nature of the sequence variations is discussed.
