Restriction fragment analysis of ‘null’ forms at the Gli-1 loci of bread and durum wheats

Summary Wheat accessions lacking some of the - and -gliadin components encoded by the Gli-1 loci on the short arm of chromosome 1D in bread wheat and chromosome 1A in durum wheat were studied by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and restriction fragment analysis. Digested genomic DNAs of normal and null forms were probed with a cDNA clone related to -/-gliadins and with a genomic clone encoding an LMW subunit of glutenin. The hybridisation patterns with the -/-gliadin probe were similar to those of cvs Chinese Spring and Langdon used as standards for bread and durum wheats, respectively, but several restriction fragments located on the 1D chromosome of bread wheat and the 1A chromosome of durum wheat were absent in the null forms. In addition, specific LMW glutenin fragments encoded by the same chromosomes were also absent in the null forms, suggesting that simultaneous deletions of blocks of genes for both -/-gliadins and LMW glutenins had occurred. Comparisons of the protein and RFLP patterns enabled some proteins to be mapped to specific restriction fragments.     

Development of chromosome 6D-specific markers for α-gliadin genes and their use in assessing dynamic changes at the Gli-2 loci

To develop chromosome 6D-specific point mutation (PM) markers for α-gliadin genes, 79 α-gliadin sequences cloned from Aegilops tauschii and another 40 α-gliadin genes with known chromosome locations were used in multi-sequence alignment and phylogenic analysis. Additional multiple alignment adjustments were performed manually to facilitate discovery of putative chromosome 6D-specific point mutations. A total of 85 PM primers were designed to detect 68 candidate chromosome 6D-specific point mutations. Experimental tests revealed 11 chromosome 6D-specific PM markers by using genomic DNA from homoeologous group 6 nullisomic–tetrasomic lines of Chinese Spring and putative diploid and tetraploid ancestors of hexaploid wheat as PCR templates. Detection of PM markers in one synthetic hexaploid wheat and its parental lines indicated that some α-gliadin genes were lost from Gli-2 loci during the formation of hexaploid wheat by amphidiploidization of the genomes of Triticum turgidum and Ae. tauschii. Detection of these PM markers in Ae. tauschii, T. aestivum and its four subspecies indicated that at least two genetically distinct sources of Ae. tauschii contributed germplasm to the D genome of T. aestivum.

Human kidney anion exchanger 1 interacts with adaptor-related protein complex 1 μ1A (AP-1 mu1A)

Kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) mediates chloride (Cl⁻) and bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) exchange at the basolateral membrane of kidney α-intercalated cells. Impaired trafficking of kAE1 leads to defect of the Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ exchange at the basolateral membrane and failure of proton (H⁺) secretion at the apical membrane, causing a kidney disease - distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). To gain a better insight into kAE1 trafficking, we searched for proteins physically interacting with the C-terminal region of kAE1 (Ct-kAE1), which contains motifs crucial for intracellular trafficking, by a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system. An adaptor-related protein complex 1 μ1A (AP-1 mu1A) subunit was found to interact with Ct-kAE1. The interaction between either Ct-kAE1 or full-length kAE1 and AP-1 mu1A were confirmed in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T by co-immunoprecipitation, affinity co-purification, co-localization, yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-based protein fragment complementation assay (PCA) and GST pull-down assay. The interacting site for AP-1 mu1A on Ct-kAE1 was found to be Y904DEV907, a subset of YXXØ motif. Interestingly, suppression of endogenous AP-1 mu1A in HEK 293T by small interfering RNA (siRNA) decreased membrane localization of kAE1 and increased its intracellular accumulation, suggesting for the first time that AP-1 mu1A is involved in the kAE1 trafficking of kidney α-intercalated cells.     

Niemann–Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1) an intestinal sterol transporter

Niemann–Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1) has been identified and characterized as an essential protein in the intestinal cholesterol absorption process. NPC1L1 localizes to the brush border membrane of absorptive enterocytes in the small intestine. Intestinal expression of NPC1L1 is down regulated by diets containing high levels of cholesterol. While otherwise phenotypically normal, Npc1l1 null mice exhibit a significant reduction in the intestinal uptake and absorption of cholesterol and phytosterols. Characterization of the NPC1L1 pathway revealed that cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe specifically binds to an extracellular loop of NPC1L1 and inhibits its sterol transport function. Npc1l1 null mice are resistant to diet-induced hypercholesterolemia, and when crossed with apo E null mice, are completely resistant to the development of atherosclerosis. Intestinal gene expression studies in Npc1l1 null mice indicated that no exogenous cholesterol was entering enterocytes lacking NPC1L1, which resulted in an upregulation of intestinal and hepatic LDL receptor and cholesterol biosynthetic gene expression. Polymorphisms in the human NPC1L1 gene have been found to influence cholesterol absorption and plasma low density lipoprotein levels. Therefore, NPC1L1 is a critical intestinal sterol uptake transporter which influences whole body cholesterol homeostasis.

问题解答1

问 :蛋白质、核酸都是通过缩聚反应形成的吗 ?答 :由于人们对教材内容机械引入或对教材语意曲解 ,因而众多的复习资料无论在介绍蛋白质、核酸的结构还是生命起源时都人为地强调氨基酸“缩合”形成蛋白质、核苷酸“聚合”形成核酸。“缩合”与“聚合”似乎成了风马牛不相及的两个概念 ,更谈不上去探索其有机联系了。缩合源于生物化学中蛋白质 (或肽 )的形成 ,它可以指两个或多个氨基酸形成肽时脱去一个或多个水分子的反应。正由于它脱去小分子物质 ,而有别于加成反应 ,同时它发生在有机的小分子之间 ,且反应结果并没有形成不饱合键而不同于消…     

沉默DEPDC1抑制鼻咽癌细胞HNE-1和CNE-1侵袭迁移

DEPDC1(DEP domain containing 1)是一个新的肿瘤相关基因,在多种恶性肿瘤的发生发展进程中起着重要作用。我们前期工作中在鼻咽癌细胞内沉默了DEPDC1的表达,发现抑制细胞增殖并诱发细胞凋亡。本研究旨在探讨沉默DEPDC1表达后,对鼻咽癌细胞HNE-1和CNE-1侵袭迁移能力的影响及其分子机制。结果显示,siRNA介导DEPDC1表达沉默后,细胞侧向运动能力、侵袭及迁移能力显著降低。qRT-PCR及Western印迹检测发现DEPDC1沉默导致EMT上游关键转录因子Twist1及间质细胞标志分子Vimentin表达显著下调。这些研究表明,鼻咽癌细胞中DEPDC1通过调节Twist1等EMT关键分子的表达在细胞侵袭转移过程中起关键作用。推测DEPDC1在鼻咽癌中高表达可能对于促进其侵袭转移具有重要作用,进而促进肿瘤发生发展,但具体分子机制仍有待更深入研究。     

Mutators in SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE: MUT1–1, MUT1–2 and MUT2–1

The purpose of this study was to characterize two mutator stocks of yeast which were induced and selected on the basis of high spontaneous reversion rates of the suppressible "ochre" nonsense allele lys1-1. In the mutator stock VA-3, a single mutation, designated mut1-1, is responsible for the increase in the reversion rate of the ochre alleles lys1-1 and arg4-17. In stock VA-105, there are two separate mutator mutations. Tetrad analysis data showed these two loci are loosely linked. Based on complementation data, one of these mutations is at the same locus as mut1-1 and designated mut1-2. The second mutator of stock VA-105 was designated mut2-1. All three mutators are recessive. Both mut1-1 and mut1-2 give a high mutation rate for ochre nonsense suppressor (SUP) loci, but not for the ochre nonsense alleles. On the contrary, the mutation rates of the ochre alleles are greatly reduced. With the mutant mut2-1 there were mutations at both the lys1-1 site and its suppressors; mut2-1 is as effective as mut1-2 but not as effective as mut1-1 in inducing reversions of a missense mutant, his1-7. Neither mut1-1, mut1-2 nor mut2-1 were effective in inducing reversions of a putative frameshift mutation, hom3-10, or in inducing forward mutations to canavanine resistance.
