A variable number of tandem repeat from a porcine glucosephosphate isomerase intron has been isolated and sequenced. The repeat has a unit size of 39 bp, is highly conserved and is present in at least 14 copies. Flanking sequences show a sequence periodicity of 53-54 bp and some sequence homology to the 39 bp repeat. A considerable part of the genomic DNA has been lost during subcloning and is considered to be deletion prone or refractory to propagation in E. coli. The tandem repeat is locus specific and detects at least six alleles in BamHI digested porcine DNA. No homology to other tandem repeat sequences has been found.  相似文献

An S1-hypersensitive site was found at the 60 bp direct repeats of the cis-acting, stability and/or copy number control region of the yeast 2 micron DNA in the supercoiled hybrid plasmid pDB248'. It was retained in a different plasmid, pYK2121, consisting of pBR322 and the 300 bp long repeated DNA. Analyses of 5'-end-labeled fragments and nucleotide sequence determination showed that the S1-cleavage site was at the central part of an AT-rich 19 bp palindrome present in the repeats. Two other homologous palindromes (21 and 15 bp) containing the 12 bp consensus sequences were not cleaved. The nucleotide sequences at the base of the stem and/or loop may determine the efficiency of the cruciform extrusion.  相似文献

rDNA序列中的ITS作为DNA barcoding广泛应用于真菌的系统发育与物种辅助鉴定,IGS被认为可以用于种内水平不同菌株的鉴别。食用菌中还没有完整的rDNA序列的报道。本研究采用二代和三代测序技术分别对金针菇单核菌株“6-3”进行测序,用二代测序的数据对三代测序组装得到的基因组序列进行修正,得到一个在基因完整性、连续性和准确性均较好的基因组序列,对比Fibroporia vaillantii rDNA序列,获得金针菇完整的rDNA序列。金针菇rDNA序列结构分析表明,它有8个rDNA转录单元,长度均为5 903bp,有9个基因间隔区,其长度有较大差异,3 909-4 566bp。rDNA转录单元中,各元件的序列长度分别为:18S rDNA 1 796bp、ITS1 234bp、5.8S rDNA 173bp、ITS2 291bp、28S rDNA 3 410bp。基因间间隔区中,IGS1 1 351-1 399bp、5S rDNA 124bp、IGS2 2 435-3 092bp。金针菇的5S、5.8S、18S、28S rDNA序列准确性得到转录组数据的验证,也得到系统发育分析结果的支持。多序列比对发现,不同拷贝的基因间间隔区序列(IGS1和IGS2)存在丰富的多态性,多态性来源于SNP、InDel和TRS(串联重复序列),而TRS来源于重复单元的类型和数量。9个基因间间隔区之间,IGS1只有少量的SNP和InDel,IGS2不仅有SNP和InDel,还有TRS。本研究结果提示,在应用IGS进行种内水平不同菌株之间的鉴别时,需要选取不同拷贝之间的保守IGS序列。  相似文献

The crossover sites for site-specific C inversion consist of imperfect 12 bp inverted repeats with the dinucleotide TT at the center of symmetry. The phage P1 Cin recombinase acts not only at these cix sites but also less efficiently at cix-related sequences called quasi-cix sites, cixQ. When cixQ contains a central dinucleotide TT, crossover occurs in vivo at the 2 bp sequence TT in the normal and the quasi-cix sites. If cixQ carries only one T residue, inversion-associated localized conversion can occur at the mismatched position within the 2 bp sequence. The results indicate that Cin generates 2 bp staggered cuts in vivo and that reciprocal strand exchanges occur at these 2 bp crossover sequences.  相似文献

We have cloned and sequenced a cDNA copy of in vitro-polyadenylated 7SL RNA of HeLa cells. The cloned fragment is 303 bp long and has a composite structure. A central block of 140 bp is homologous to a new set of human middle-repetitive sequences. This block appears to be inserted in an Alu consensus sequence, 100 bp from the 5' end and 40 bp from the 3' end of the Alu monomer. Two 6 bp direct repeats are found at the junction between the Alu flanking sequences and the central element. The analysis of several clones shows the existence of sequence microheterogeneity in the 5' portion of the molecule. The 7L DNA probably represents a subset of the Alu family of DNA, highly conserved in evolution.  相似文献

Specific cleavages within the shufflon-specific recombination site of plasmid R64 were detected by primer extension when a DNA fragment carrying the recombination site was incubated with the shufflon-specific Rci recombinase. Rci-dependent cleavages occurred in the form of a 5' protruding 7 bp staggered cut, suggesting that DNA cleavage and rejoining in the shufflon system take place at these positions. As a result, shufflon crossover sites were designated as sfx sequences consisting of a central 7 bp spacer sequence, and left and right 12 bp arms. R64 sfx sequences are unique among various site-specific recombination sites, since only the spacer sequence and the right arm sequence are conserved among various R64 sfxs, whereas the left arm sequence is not conserved and is not related to the right arm sequence. From nuclease protection analyses, Rci protein was shown to bind to entire R64 and artificial sfx sequences, suggesting that one Rci molecule binds to the conserved sfx right arm in a sequence-specific manner and the second to the sfx left arm in a non-specific manner. The sfx left arm sequences as well as the right arm sequences were shown to determine affinity to Rci and subsequently inversion frequency. Asymmetry of the sfx sequence may be the reason why Rci protein acts only on the inverted sfx sequences.  相似文献

Exonuclease III digests DNA sequentially from the 3' end. This enzyme is used to analyse the location of nucleosomes on DNA fragments containing a particular 145 base-pair (bp) sequence. When one of these fragments is assembled into chromatin and digested with exonuclease, a strong and persistent pause in digestion is detected at a single location. That this pause is due to the enzyme encountering a nucleosome is suggested, firstly, by its absence from digests of free DNA and, secondly, by the detection of a corresponding pause on the other strand. The two pauses, 146 bp apart, specify the location of a single precisely positioned nucleosome on the DNA fragment. This position corresponds exactly to one of two possible positions of the 145 bp sequence identified previously. A fragment containing only about 80 bp of the original 145 bp continues to position itself in the nucleosome like the parent sequence. Therefore, some of the sequence can be replaced with different DNA without affecting nucleosome positioning. Further exonuclease III analysis of an extensive set of deletions demonstrates that a central region of about 40 bp is essential for positioning the 145 bp sequence. When deletions advance into this region from either side, only a very small proportion of the DNA remains in the original position on the nucleosome. Therefore, the two short lengths of DNA at the edges of the region must each contain all or part of an essential nucleosome-positioning signal. These two critical sequences are symmetrically located across the nucleosome dyad and interact with the same region of histone H3. The sequence TGC occurs at the same place in both sequences; otherwise they are dissimilar.  相似文献

The restriction enzyme TaqI digests 0.2% of the genomic DNA from the grasshopper Caledia captiva to a family of sequences 168 bp in length (length of consensus sequence). The sequence variation of this "Taq family" of repeat units was examined among four races from C. captiva to assay the pattern of evolution within this highly repeated DNA. The Taq-family repeats are located in C-banded heterochromatin on at least one member of each homologous pair of chromosomes; the locations range from centromeric to telomeric. Thirty-nine cloned repeats isolated from two population 1A individuals along with 11 clones from seven populations taken from three of the races demonstrated sequence variation at 72 positions. Pairwise comparisons of the cloned repeats, both within an individual and between different races, indicate that levels of intraspecific divergence, as measured by reproductive incompatibility, do not correlate with sequence divergence among the 168-bp repeats. A number of subsequences within the repeat remain unchanged among all 50 clones; the longest of these is 18 bp. That the same 18-bp subsequence is present in all clones examined is a finding that departs significantly (P less than 0.01) from what would be expected to occur at random. Two other cloned repeats, from a reproductively isolated race of C. captiva, have sequences that show 56% identity with this 18-bp conserved region. An analysis showed that the frequency of occurrence of an RsaI recognition site within the 168- bp repeat in the entire Taq family agreed with that found in the cloned sequences. These data, along with a partial sequence for the entire Taq family obtained by sequencing uncloned repeats, suggest that the consensus sequence from the cloned copies is representative of this highly repeated family and is not a biased sample resulting from the cloning procedure. The 18-bp conserved sequence is part of a 42-bp sequence that possesses dyad symmetry typical of protein-binding sites. We speculate that this may be significant in the evolution of the Taq family of sequences.   相似文献

利用Long-PCR和Primer Walking的方法对鸮形目的短耳鸮、长耳鸮、纵纹腹小鸮、灰林鸮4种鸟类的线粒体调控区进行了全序列测定。结果表明:短耳鸮的调控区跃度为3290bp;长耳鸮为2848bp;纵纹腹小鸮为2444bp;灰林鸮为1771bp。短耳鸮的调控区长度是4种鸮中最大的,并且是目前已知最大的鸟类线粒体调控区。这4种鸮类调控区的基本结构和其他鸟类相似,按照碱基变化速率的不同可以分为3个区:碱基变化速率较快的外围区域Ⅰ、Ⅲ和保守的中间区域Ⅱ。这4种鸟类调控区的3’端均存在大量的串联重复序列,短耳鸮为126bp单元重复7次和78bp单元重复14次;长耳鸮为127bp单元重复8次和78bp单几重复6次;纵纹腹小鸮有3个重复单元,分别为89bp单元重复3次、77bp单元重复4次和71bp单元重复6次;灰林鸮仅有1个单元的串联重复为78bp重复5次。调控区中串联重复序列可能是由链的滑动错配产生,另外这些重复序列都能形成热力学稳定的多重茎环二级结构,而且在重复序列中还发现一些保守基序,这说明重复序列可能具有一定的生理功能,影响调控区的调重控功能从而影响线粒体基因组的复制和转录。  相似文献

Repetitive DNA sequences in the rice genome comprise more than half of the nuclear DNA. The isolation and characterization of these repetitive DNA sequences should lead to a better understanding of rice chromosome structure and genome organization. We report here the characterization and chromosome localization of a chromosome 5-specific repetitive DNA sequence. This repetitive DNA sequence was estimated to have at least 900 copies. DNA sequence analysis of three genomic clones which contain the repeat unit indicated that the DNA sequences have two sub-repeat units of 37 bp and 19 bp, connected by 30-to 90-bp short sequences with high similarity. RFLP mapping and physical mapping by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) indicated that almost all copies of the repetitive DNA sequence are located in the centromeric heterochromatic region of the long arm of chromosome 5. The strategy for cloning such repetitive DNA sequences and their uses in rice genome research are discussed.  相似文献

Regulated DNA deletions are known to occur to thousands of specific DNA segments in Tetrahymena during macronuclear development. In this study we determined the precision of this event by examining the junction sequences produced by three different deletions in many independent caryonidal lines. 0.9 kb deletions in region M produce at least 3 types of junction sequences, of which two have been determined and found to be different by 4 bp. The alternative 0.6 kb deletions in this region are much less variable. 1.1 kb deletions in region R, known from a previous study to be slightly variable, produce two types of junction sequences which are different from each other by 3 bp. Thus, developmentally regulated deletions in Tetrahymena can produce sequence microheterogeneity at their junctions. This process contributes significantly to the diversification of Tetrahymena's somatic genome.  相似文献

The segment of the avian leukemia virus E26 genome near the termination of the p135gag-myb-ets open reading frame contains an inversion of the chicken ets-1 sequence. The inversion contains at least 41 bp and may be as large as 46 bp. This results in the replacement of 13 amino acids of chicken ets-1, with 16 amino acids derived from reverse complement of the normal ets-1 coding strand or read-through into E26 env sequences. At least 13 of these codons are specified by the inverted ets sequences. This represents the first reported occurrence of inverted oncogene sequences in a natural retrovirus. The inverted ets sequences are immediately followed by sequences homologous to the Rous sarcoma virus Prague B env gene. Since the E26 env sequence is more closely related to subgroup B avian retroviruses than to avian retroviruses from subgroups A, C, D, or E, the progenitor of E26 was a virus belonging to avian retrovirus subgroup B.  相似文献

We report experiments designed to test homology dependence for gene conversion between duplicated chromosomal sequences in cultured mammalian cells. The experimental system is such that gene conversion events not associated with reciprocal exchange are recoverable. For this study four plasmids were constructed. Each contains a different duplication of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV tk) gene sequence. In particular, the interacting sequences share different lengths of homology. Our results indicate that for shared homologies between 295 base pairs (bp) and 1.8 kilobase pairs (kbp) in length, conversion is efficient with the rate being directly proportional to the extent of homology. In contrast, conversion with either 200 bp or 95 bp of homology is inefficient, and the rate is reduced at least seven- or 100-fold, respectively, relative to that observed with 295 bp of homology. These results are consistent with the notion that greater than 200 bp of homology are required for efficient gene conversion between repeated chromosomal sequences in mammalian cells.  相似文献

Sequences located several kilobases both 5' and 3' of the stably transcribed portion of several genes hybridize to radio-labeled pure fragments of the alternating sequence poly (dG-dT) (dC-dA) ["poly(GT)"]. The genes include the ribosomal DNA of mouse, rat, and human, and also human glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and mouse hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT). HPRT has additional hybridizing sequences in introns. Fragments that include the hybridizing sequences and up to 300 bp of adjoining DNA show perfect runs of poly(GT) (greater than 30bp) in all but the human 5' region of rDNA, which shows a somewhat different alternating purine:pyrimidine sequence, poly(GTAT) (36bp). Within 150 bp of these sequences in various instances are found a number of other sequences reported to affect DNA conformation in model systems. Most marked is an enhancement of sequences matching at least 67% to the consensus binding sequence for topoisomerase II. Two to ten-fold less of such sequences were found in other sequenced portions of the nontranscribed spacer or in the transcribed portion of rDNA. The conservation of the locations of tracts of alternating purine:pyrimidine between evolutionarily diverse species is consistent with a possible functional role for these sequences.  相似文献

Molecular Cloning of cDNA to mRNA for a Cerebellar Spot 35 Protein   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
The nucleotide sequence of mRNA for rat cerebellar spot 35 protein, a Ca-binding protein, was determined from recombinant complementary DNA (cDNA) clones. The sequence was composed of 1,714 base pairs (bp) which included the 783 bp of the complete coding region, the 130 bp of the 5'-noncoding region, and the 801 bp of the 3'-noncoding region containing a polyadenylation signal. In addition, a polyadenylic acid [poly(A)] tail was also found. Because the size of spot 35 mRNA was estimated to be about 1,900 bases by Northern blot analysis, the longest insert was verified to contain a nearly full-length cDNA sequence including the poly(A) tail. The amino acid sequence of the protein deduced from the nucleotide sequence contains 261 amino acids and at least five Ca-binding domains. There was a high homology in the amino acid sequences (79%) and the nucleotide sequences (77%) between spot 35 protein and chick intestinal Ca-binding protein (28K).  相似文献

DNAs that contain specific yeast chromosomal sequences called ARSs transform Saccharomyces cerevisiae at high frequency and can replicate extrachromosomally as plasmids when introduced into S. cerevisiae by transformation. To determine the boundaries of the minimal sequences required for autonomous replication in S. cerevisiae, we have carried out in vitro mutagenesis of the first chromosomal ARS described, ARS1. Rather than identifying a distinct and continuous segment that mediates the ARS+ phenotype, we find three different functional domains within ARS1. We define domain A as the 11-base-pair (bp) sequence that is also found at most other ARS regions. It is necessary but not sufficient for high-frequency transformation. Domain B, which cannot mediate high-frequency transformation, or replicate by itself, is required for efficient, stable replication of plasmids containing domain A. Domain B, as we define it, is continuous with domain A in ARS1, but insertions of 4 bp between the two do not affect replication. The extent of domain B has an upper limit of 109 bp and a lower limit of 46 bp in size. There is no obvious sequence homology between domain B of ARS1 and any other ARS sequence. Finally, domain C is defined on the basis of our deletions as at least 200 bp flanking domain A on the opposite side from domain B and is also required for the stability of domain A in S. cerevisiae. The effect of deletions of domain C can be observed only in the absence of domain B, at least by the assays used in the current study, and the significance of this finding is discussed.  相似文献
