Kinetochores are the proteinaceous complexes that assemble on centromeric DNA and direct eukaryotic chromosome segregation. The mechanisms by which higher eukaryotic cells define centromeres are poorly understood. Possible molecular contributors to centromere specification include the underlying DNA sequences and epigenetic factors such as binding of the centromeric histone centromere protein A (CENP-A). Frog egg extracts are an attractive system for studying centromere definition and kinetochore assembly. To facilitate such studies, we cloned a Xenopus laevis homologue of CENP-A (XCENP-A). We identified centromere-associated DNA sequences by cloning fragments of DNA that copurified with XCENP-A by chromatin immunoprecipitation. XCENP-A associates with frog centromeric repeat 1 (Fcr1), a 174-base pair repeat containing a possible CENP-B box. Southern blots of partially digested genomic DNA revealed large ordered arrays of Fcr1 in the genome. Fluorescent in situ hybridization with Fcr1 probes stained most centromeres in cultured cells. By staining lampbrush chromosomes, we specifically identified the 11 (of 18) chromosomes that stain consistently with Fcr1 probes. 相似文献

Knowledge about the composition and structure of centromeres is critical for understanding how centromeres perform their functional
roles. Here, we report the sequences of one centromere-associated bacterial artificial chromosome clone from a Coix lacryma-jobi library. Two Ty3/gypsy-class retrotransposons, centromeric retrotransposon of C. lacryma-jobi (CRC) and peri-centromeric retrotransposon of C. lacryma-jobi, and a (peri)centromere-specific tandem repeat with a unit length of 153 bp were identified. The CRC is highly homologous to centromere-specific retrotransposons reported in grass species. An 80-bp DNA region in the 153-bp
satellite repeat was found to be conserved to centromeric satellite repeats from maize, rice, and pearl millet. Fluorescence
in situ hybridization showed that the three repetitive sequences were located in (peri-)centromeric regions of both C. lacryma-jobi and Coix aquatica. However, the 153-bp satellite repeat was only detected on 20 out of the 30 chromosomes in C. aquatica. Immunostaining with an antibody against rice CENH3 indicates that the 153-bp satellite repeat and CRC might be both the major components for functional centromeres, but not all the 153-bp satellite repeats or CRC sequences are associated with CENH3. The evolution of centromeric repeats of C. lacryma-jobi during the polyploidization was discussed. 相似文献

The centromeres of two tomato chromosomes have been precisely localized on the molecular linkage map through dosage analysis of trisomic stocks. To map the centromeres of chromosomes 7 and 9, complementary telo-, secondary, and tertiary trisomic stocks were used to assign DNA markers to their respective chromosome arms and thus to localize the centromere at the junction of the short and long arms. It was found that both centromeres are situated within a cluster of cosegregating markers. In an attempt to order the markers within the centric clusters, genetic maps of the centromeric regions of chromosomes 7 and 9 were constructed from F2 populations of 1620Lycopersicon esculentum × L. pennellii (E × P) plants and 1640L. esculentum × L. pimpinellifolium (E × PM) plants. Despite the large number of plants analyzed, very few recombination events were detected in the centric regions, indicating a significant suppression of recombination at this region of the chromosome. The fact that recombination suppression is equally strong in crosses between closely related (E × PM) and remotely related (E × P) parents suggests that centromeric suppression is not due to DNA sequence mismatches but to some other mechanism. The greatest number of centromeric markers was resolved in theL. esculentum × L. pennellii F2 population. The centromere of chromosome 7 is surrounded by eight cosegregating markers: three on the short arm, five on the long arm. Similarly, the centric region of chromosome 9 contains ten cosegregating markers including one short arm marker and nine long arm markers. The localization of centromeres to precise intervals on the molecular linkage map represents the first step towards the characterization and ultimate isolation of tomato centromeres. 相似文献

Cereal centromeres consist of a complex organization of repetitive DNA sequences. Several repetitive DNA sequences are common
amongst members of the Triticeae family, and others are unique to particular species. The organization of these repetitive elements and the abundance of other
types of DNA sequences in cereal centromeres are largely unknown. In this study, we have used wheat-rye translocation lines
to physically map 1BL.1RS centromeric breakpoints and molecular probes to obtain further information on the nature of other
types of centromeric DNA sequences. Our results, using the rye-specific centromeric sequence, pAWRC.1, indicate that 1BL.1RS
contains a small portion of the centromere from 1R of rye. Further studies used molecular markers to identify centromeric
segments on wheat group-1 chromosomes. Selected RFLP markers, clustered around the centromere of wheat homoeologous group-1S
chromosomes, were chosen as probes during Southern hybridization. One marker, PSR161, identified a small 1BS segment in all
1BL.1RS lines. This segment maps proximal to pAWRC.1 in 1BL.1RS and on the centromere of 1B. Sequence analysis of PSR161 showed
high homology to HSP70 genes and Northern hybridization showed that this gene is constitutively expressed in leaf tissue and induced by heat shock
and light stimuli. The significance of this work with respect to centromere organization and the possible significance of
this HSP70 gene homologue are discussed.

We describe a comprehensive and general approach for mapping centromeres and present a detailed characterization of two maize centromeres. Centromeres are difficult to map and analyze because they consist primarily of repetitive DNA sequences, which in maize are the tandem satellite repeat CentC and interspersed centromeric retrotransposons of maize (CRM). Centromeres are defined epigenetically by the centromeric histone H3 variant, CENH3. Using novel markers derived from centromere repeats, we have mapped all ten centromeres onto the physical and genetic maps of maize. We were able to completely traverse centromeres 2 and 5, confirm physical maps by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and delineate their functional regions by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with anti-CENH3 antibody followed by pyrosequencing. These two centromeres differ substantially in size, apparent CENH3 density, and arrangement of centromeric repeats; and they are larger than the rice centromeres characterized to date. Furthermore, centromere 5 consists of two distinct CENH3 domains that are separated by several megabases. Succession of centromere repeat classes is evidenced by the fact that elements belonging to the recently active recombinant subgroups of CRM1 colonize the present day centromeres, while elements of the ancestral subgroups are also found in the flanking regions. Using abundant CRM and non-CRM retrotransposons that inserted in and near these two centromeres to create a historical record of centromere location, we show that maize centromeres are fluid genomic regions whose borders are heavily influenced by the interplay of retrotransposons and epigenetic marks. Furthermore, we propose that CRMs may be involved in removal of centromeric DNA (specifically CentC), invasion of centromeres by non-CRM retrotransposons, and local repositioning of the CENH3. 相似文献

The small annual grass Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is rapidly emerging as a powerful model system to study questions unique to the grasses. Many Brachypodium
resources have been developed including a whole genome sequence, highly efficient transformation and a large germplasm collection.
We developed a genetic linkage map of Brachypodium using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and an F2 mapping population of 476 individuals. SNPs were identified by targeted resequencing of single copy genomic sequences. Using
the Illumina GoldenGate Genotyping platform we placed 558 markers into five linkage groups corresponding to the five chromosomes
of Brachypodium. The unusually long total genetic map length, 1,598 centiMorgans (cM), indicates that the Brachypodium mapping
population has a high recombination rate. By comparing the genetic map to genome features we found that the recombination
rate was positively correlated with gene density and negatively correlated with repetitive regions and sites of ancestral
chromosome fusions that retained centromeric repeat sequences. A comparison of adjacent genome regions with high versus low
recombination rates revealed a positive correlation between interspecific synteny and recombination rate. 相似文献

Cytologically, the centromere is found at the very end of most Mus musculus chromosomes, co-localizing with an array of minor satellite sequences. It is separated from the euchromatin of the long arm by a large domain of heterochromatin, composed in part of arrays of major satellite sequences. We used oligonucleotide probes that specifically detect regions of sequence variation found in certain cloned minor satellite sequences. They detect a limited subset of the minor satellite arrays in the mouse genome, based on both pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and in situ hybridization data, and provide direct molecular genetic markers for individual centromeres in some inbred mouse strains. Array size polymorphisms detected by these probes map to positions consisten with the centromeres of chromosomes 1 and 14 in the BXD recombinant inbred (RI) strains. The genetic distances between these minor satellite arrays and loci on the long arms of chromosomes 1 and 14 are consistent with repression of meiotic recombination in the heterochromatic domains separating them. The existence of chromosome-specific minor satellite sequences implies that the rate of sequence exchange between non-homologous chromosomes relative to the rate between homologous chromosomes is much lower than has previously been postulated. We suggest that the high degree of sequence homogeneity of mouse satellite sequences may instead reflect recent common ancestry. 相似文献

A new multicolor-FISH approach for the characterization of marker chromosomes: centromere-specific multicolor-FISH (cenM-FISH) 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Centromere-specific multi-color FISH (cenM-FISH) is a new multicolor FISH technique that allows the simultaneous characterization of all human centromeres by using labeled centromeric satellite DNA as probes. This approach allows the rapid identification of all human centromeres by their individual pseudo-coloring in one single step and is therefore a powerful tool in molecular cytogenetics. CenM-FISH fills a gap in multicolor karyotyping using WCP probes and distinguishes all centromeric regions apart from the evolutionary highly conserved regions on the chromosomes 13 and 21. The usefulness of the cenM-FISH technique for the characterization of small supernumerary marker chromosomes with no (or nearly no) euchromatin and restricted amounts of available sample material is demonstrated in prenatal, postnatal, and tumor cytogenetic cases. In addition, rarely described markers with the involvement of heterochromatic material inserted into homogeneously staining regions could be identified and characterized by using the cenM-FISH technique. 相似文献

Towards map-based cloning of the barley stem rust resistance genes Rpg1 and rpg4 using rice as an intergenomic cloning vehicle 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The barley stem rust resistance genes Rpg1 and rpg4 were mapped in barley on chromosomes 1P and 7M, respectively and the syntenous rice chromosomes identified as 6P and 3P by mapping common probes in barley and rice. Rice yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and cosmid clones were used to isolate probes mapping to the barley Rpg1 region. The rice BAC isolated with the pM13 probe was a particularly excellent source of probes. A high-resolution map of the Rpg1 region was established with 1400 gametes yielding a map density of 3.6 markers per 0.1 cM. A detailed physical map was established for the rice BAC fragment containing the Rpg1-flanking markers pM13 and B24. This fragment covers a barley genetic distance of 0.6 cM and a rice DNA physical distance of ca. 70 kb. The distribution of barley cross-overs in relation to the rice DNA physical distances was extremely uneven. The barley genetic distance between the pM13 marker and Rpg1 was 0.1 cM per ca. 55 kb, while on the proximal side it was 0.5 cm per ca. 15 kb. Three probes from the distal end of the pM13 BAC mapped 3.0 cm proximal of Rpg1 and out of synteny with rice. These experiments confirm the validity of using large insert rice clones as probe sources to saturate small barley (and other large genome cereals) genome regions with markers. They also establish a note of caution that even in regions of high microsynteny, there may be small DNA fragments that have transposed and are no longer in syntenous positions. 相似文献

Minisatellites, or DNA fingerprinting sequences, have been utilized in animal linkage studies for several years but have not
been used as markers for plant genome mapping. In animal genome mapping they have resulted in limited success because they
are evenly dispersed in some species but are often clustered near telomeric regions, as observed on human chromosomes. The
purpose of the present study was to generate DNA fingerprints utilizing several rice-derived minisatellites containing different
core sequences and numbers of repeat units, followed by assessing their potential for use as genetic markers when mapped to
a rice recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. Sites of segregating minisatellite loci were mapped onto 11 of the 12 rice
RIL linkage maps. The implications for the use of rice minisatellite core sequences as genetic markers on linkage maps in
rice are discussed.

The objectives of this study were to develop a high-density chromosome bin map of homoeologous group 7 in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), to identify gene distribution in these chromosomes, and to perform comparative studies of wheat with rice and barley. We mapped 2148 loci from 919 EST clones onto group 7 chromosomes of wheat. In the majority of cases the numbers of loci were significantly lower in the centromeric regions and tended to increase in the distal regions. The level of duplicated loci in this group was 24% with most of these loci being localized toward the distal regions. One hundred nineteen EST probes that hybridized to three fragments and mapped to the three group 7 chromosomes were designated landmark probes and were used to construct a consensus homoeologous group 7 map. An additional 49 probes that mapped to 7AS, 7DS, and the ancestral translocated segment involving 7BS also were designated landmarks. Landmark probe orders and comparative maps of wheat, rice, and barley were produced on the basis of corresponding rice BAC/PAC and genetic markers that mapped on chromosomes 6 and 8 of rice. Identification of landmark ESTs and development of consensus maps may provide a framework of conserved coding regions predating the evolution of wheat genomes. 相似文献

The evolution of five chromosomes of Brachypodium distachyon from a 12-chromosome ancestor of all grasses by dysploidy raises an interesting question about the fate of redundant centromeres.
Three independent but complementary approaches were pursued to study centromeric region homologies among the chromosomes of
Brachypodium, wheat, and rice. The genes present in pericentromeres of the basic set of seven chromosomes of wheat and the Triticeae, and
the 80 rice centromeric genes spanning the CENH3 binding domain of centromeres 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 were used as “anchor” markers
to identify centromere locations in the B. distachyon chromosomes. A total of 53 B. distachyon bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones anchored by wheat pericentromeric expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were used as
probes for BAC-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of B. distachyon mitotic chromosomes. Integrated sequence alignment and BAC-FISH data were used to determine the approximate positions of
active and inactive centromeres in the five B. distachyon chromosomes. The following syntenic relationships of the centromeres for Brachypodium (Bd), rice (R), and wheat (W) were evident: Bd1-R6, Bd2-R5-W1, Bd3-R10, Bd4-R11-W4, and Bd5-R4. Six rice centromeres syntenic
to five wheat centromeres were inactive in Brachypodium chromosomes. The conservation of centromere gene synteny among several sets of homologous centromeres of three species indicates
that active genes can persist in ancient centromeres with more than 40 million years of shared evolutionary history. Annotation
of a BAC contig spanning an inactive centromere in chromosome Bd3 which is syntenic to rice Cen8 and W7 pericentromeres, along with BAC FISH data from inactive centromeres revealed that the centromere inactivation was
accompanied by the loss of centromeric retrotransposons and turnover of centromere-specific satellites during Bd chromosome
evolution. 相似文献

Background
Integration of molecular, genetic and cytological maps is still a challenge for most plant species. Recent progress in molecular and cytogenetic studies created a basis for developing integrated maps in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).Results
In this study, eleven fosmid clones and three plasmids containing 45S rDNA, the centromeric satellite repeat Type III and the pericentriomeric repeat CsRP1 sequences respectively were hybridized to cucumber metaphase chromosomes to assign their cytological location on chromosome 2. Moreover, an integrated molecular cytogenetic map of cucumber chromosomes 2 was constructed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping of 11 fosmid clones together with the cucumber centromere-specific Type III sequence on meiotic pachytene chromosomes. The cytogenetic map was fully integrated with genetic linkage map since each fosmid clone was anchored by a genetically mapped simple sequence repeat marker (SSR). The relationship between the genetic and physical distances along chromosome was analyzed.Conclusions
Recombination was not evenly distributed along the physical length of chromosome 2. Suppression of recombination was found in centromeric and pericentromeric regions. Our results also indicated that the molecular markers composing the linkage map for chromosome 2 provided excellent coverage of the chromosome. 相似文献16.
A physical map with yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones covering 63% of the 12 rice chromosomes. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

A new YAC (yeast artificial chromosome) physical map of the 12 rice chromosomes was constructed utilizing the latest molecular linkage map. The 1439 DNA markers on the rice genetic map selected a total of 1892 YACs from a YAC library. A total of 675 distinct YACs were assigned to specific chromosomal locations. In all chromosomes, 297 YAC contigs and 142 YAC islands were formed. The total physical length of these contigs and islands was estimated to 270 Mb which corresponds to approximately 63% of the entire rice genome (430 Mb). Because the physical length of each YAC contig has been measured, we could then estimate the physical distance between genetic markers more precisely than previously. In the course of constructing the new physical map, the DNA markers mapped at 0.0-cM intervals were ordered accurately and the presence of potentially duplicated regions among the chromosomes was detected. The physical map combined with the genetic map will form the basis for elucidation of the rice genome structure, map-based cloning of agronomically important genes, and genome sequencing. 相似文献

Centromeres are sites for assembly of the chromosomal structures that mediate faithful segregation at mitosis and meiosis. Plant and animal centromeres are typically located in megabase-sized arrays of tandem satellite repeats, making their precise mapping difficult. However, some rice centromeres are largely embedded in nonsatellite DNA, providing an excellent model to study centromere structure and evolution. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation and 454 sequencing to define the boundaries of nine of the 12 centromeres of rice. Centromere regions from chromosomes 8 and 9 were found to share synteny, most likely reflecting an ancient genome duplication. For four centromeres, we mapped discrete subdomains of binding by the centromeric histone variant CENH3. These subdomains were depleted in both intact and nonfunctional genes relative to interspersed subdomains lacking CENH3. The intergenic location of rice centromeric chromatin resembles the situation for human neocentromeres and supports a model of the evolution of centromeres from gene-poor regions. 相似文献

High Density Molecular Linkage Maps of the Tomato and Potato Genomes 总被引:57,自引:0,他引:57

High density molecular linkage maps, comprised of more than 1000 markers with an average spacing between markers of approximately 1.2 cM (ca. 900 kb), have been constructed for the tomato and potato genomes. As the two maps are based on a common set of probes, it was possible to determine, with a high degree of precision, the breakpoints corresponding to 5 chromosomal inversions that differentiate the tomato and potato genomes. All of the inversions appear to have resulted from single breakpoints at or near the centromeres of the affected chromosomes, the result being the inversion of entire chromosome arms. While the crossing over rate among chromosomes appears to be uniformly distributed with respect to chromosome size, there is tremendous heterogeneity of crossing over within chromosomes. Regions of the map corresponding to centromeres and centromeric heterochromatin, and in some instances telomeres, experience up to 10-fold less recombination than other areas of the genome. Overall, 28% of the mapped loci reside in areas of putatively suppressed recombination. This includes loci corresponding to both random, single copy genomic clones and transcribed genes (detected with cDNA probes). The extreme heterogeneity of crossing over within chromosomes has both practical and evolutionary implications. Currently tomato and potato are among the most thoroughly mapped eukaryotic species and the availability of high density molecular linkage maps should facilitate chromosome walking, quantitative trait mapping, marker-assisted breeding and evolutionary studies in these two important and well studied crop species. 相似文献

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was employed in mapping the alpha-satellite DNA that was revealed in the cosmid libraries specific for human chromosomes 13, 21, and 22. In total, 131 clones were revealed. They contained various elements of centromeric alphoid DNA sequences of acrocentric chromosomes, including those located close to SINEs, LINEs, and classical satellite sequences. The heterochromatin of acrocentric chromosomes was shown to contain two different groups of alphoid sequences: (1) those immediately adjacent to the centromeric regions (alpha 13-1, alpha 21-1, and alpha 22-1 loci) and (2) those located in the short arm of acrocentric chromosomes (alpha 13-2, alpha 21-2, and alpha 22-2 loci). Alphoid DNA sequences from the alpha 13-2, alpha 21-2, and alpha 22-2 loci are apparently not involved in the formation of centromeres and are absent from mitotically stable marker chromosomes with a deleted short arm. Robertsonian translocations t(13q; 21q) and t(14q; 22q), and chromosome 21p-. The heterochromatic regions of chromosomes 13, 21, and 22 were also shown to contain relatively chromosome-specific repetitive sequences of various alphoid DNA families, whose numerous copies occur in other chromosomes. Pools of centromeric alphoid cosmids can be of use in further studies of the structural and functional properties of heterochromatic DNA and the identification of centromeric sequences. Moreover, these clones can be employed in high-resolution mapping and in sequencing the heterochromatic regions of the human genome. The detailed FISH analysis of numerous alphoid cosmid clones allowed the identification of several new, highly specific DNA probes of molecular cytogenetic studies--in particular, the interphase and metaphase analyses of chromosomes 2, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21-13, 22-14, and X. 相似文献
