Using the teleost Oryzias latipes (medaka), we isolated three embryonic globin cDNAs (em.alpha-0, em.alpha-1, and em.beta-1) from the embryos 5 days after fertilization (at 30 degrees C) and two adult globin cDNAs (ad.alpha-1 and ad.beta-1) from the kidney of the fully-grown adult fish, and predicted their amino acid sequences. Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the embryonic globins were highly homologous in amino acid sequence to the embryonic globins previously identified in rainbow trout and zebrafish, and that they formed a monophyletic group among the teleostean globin molecules. They were clearly discriminated from the adult globin of the medaka. RT-PCR analysis showed that the embryonic globin mRNAs were intensely expressed in stage 30 and 38 embryos and in young fish 30 days after hatching. The level of expression decreased drastically after the young fish stage, and was low in fully-grown adult fish. The adult alpha globin mRNA ad.alpha-1 was scarcely expressed in the embryos, and the level of expression gradually increased in young to fully-grown adult fish. Unexpectedly, the adult beta globin mRNA ad.beta-1 was expressed throughout life, from the early embryonic stage to the fully-grown adult stage. This expression profile was quite different from that of the rainbow trout previously investigated. Some globins of the medaka were expressed both in primitive hematopoiesis and in definitive hematopoiesis. 相似文献

How alpha and beta globin genes are organized and expressed in amniotes is of interest to researchers in a wide variety of
fields. Data regarding this from avian species have been scarce. Using genomic and proteomic approaches, we present here our
analysis of alpha and beta globins of zebra finch, a passerine bird. We show that finch alpha globin gene cluster has three
genes (alphas 1–3), each orthologous to its chicken counterpart. Finch beta globin gene cluster has three genes (betas 1–3),
with an additional pseudogene at the 3′ end. Finch beta3 is orthologous to chicken betaA, but the orthology of beta1 and beta2
to chicken counterparts is less clear. All six finch globins are confirmed to encode functional proteins. Gene expression
in both globin gene clusters is regulated developmentally. Adult finch blood has a globin profile similar to that of adult
chicken, with high levels of beta3 and alpha3 and moderate levels of alpha2. Finch embryonic primitive blood exhibits a globin
profile very different from that of equivalent stage chick embryos, with all six globins expressed at high levels. Overall,
our data provide a valuable resource for future studies in avian globin gene evolution and globin switching during erythropoietic
development. 相似文献

Adult erythrocytes of X. laevis contain six electrophoretically resolvable globin polypeptides while tadpole erythrocytes contain four polypeptides, none of which comigrates with an adult protein. We show that three of the adult proteins are alpha globin polypeptides (alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3) and three are beta globin polypeptides (beta 1, beta 2, beta 3). We find that a tadpole alpha globin gene (alpha T1) is linked to the major adult locus in the sequence 5'-alpha T1-alpha 1-beta 1-3' with 5.2 kb separating alpha T1 from alpha 1. Another tadpole alpha globin gene (alpha T2) is linked to the minor adult locus in the sequence 5'-alpha T2-alpha 2-beta 2-3' with 10.7 kb separating alpha T2 from alpha 2. These linkage relationships are consistent with the major and minor loci having arisen by tetraploidization but the different separation of larval and adult globin genes at the two loci indicates the occurrence of some additional chromosomal rearrangement. Two alternative models are presented. 相似文献

An extensive investigation of the organisation of globin genes has greatly contributed to the understanding of universal mechanisms of gene evolution and expression. Cartilaginous fish are the first organisms that have evolved the tetrameric form of hemoglobin (Hb). So far, there has been absolute lack of data about globin genes in chondrichthyans. Bathyraja is the dominant rajid south of 60 degrees S. In the framework of the investigations on globin genes of Antarctic red-blooded and Hb-less fish we obtained the cloning of the alpha- and beta-globin cDNAs of the main Hb (Hb 1) of the skate Bathyraja eatonii. Then, a genomic fragment of 6.2 kb was isolated where the Hb 1 alpha and beta genes are linked in a tail-to-head (3' to 5') orientation. The beta-globin gene promoter region and the chromosomal organisation of the Hb 1 genes of B. eatonii have been compared to their homologues in other vertebrates. The finding of a tail-to-head linkage of the Hb 1 alpha- and beta-globin genes in B. eatonii is the first characterisation of the organisation of globin genes in chondrichthyes; such finding offers a novel contribution to the understanding of the evolution of this class of genes. Moreover, the characterisation of chondrichthyan genes is very important for gaining insight into the ancestral state of vertebrate genomes. 相似文献

The complete primary structures of alpha D-2- and beta-globin of hemoglobin D (Hb D) from the Aldabra giant tortoise, Geochelone gigantea, have been constructed by amino acid sequencing analysis in assistance with nucleotide sequencing analysis of PCR fragments amplified using degenerate oligonucleotide primers. Using computer-assisted sequence comparisons, the alpha D-2-globin shared a 92.0% sequence identity versus alpha D-globin of Geochelone carbonaria, a 75.2% versus alpha D-globin of Aves (Rhea americana) and a 62.4% versus alpha A-globin of Hb A expressed in adult red blood cells of Geochelone gigantea. Additionally, judging from their primary structures, an identical beta-globin was common to the two hemoglobin components, Hb A and Hb D. The alpha D-2- and beta-globin genes contained the three-exon and two-intron configurations and showed the characteristic of all functional vertebrate hemoglobin genes except an abnormal GC dinucleotide instead of the invariant GT at the 5' end of the second intron sequence. The introns of alpha D-2-globin gene were both small (224-bp/first intron, 227-bp/second intron) such that they were quite similar to those of adult alpha-type globins; the beta-globin gene has one small intron (approximately 130-bp) and one large intron (approximately 1590-bp). A phylogenetic tree constructed on primary structures of 7 alpha D-globins from Reptilia (4 species of turtles, 2 species of squamates, and 1 species of sphenodontids) and two embryonic alpha-like globins from Aves (Gullus gullus) and Mammals (Homo sapiens) showed the following results: (1) alpha D-globins except those of squamates were clustered, in which Sphenodon punctatus was a closer species to birds than turtles; (2) separation of the alpha A- and alpha D-globin genes occurred approximately 250 million years ago after the embryonic alpha-type globin-genes (pi' and zeta) first split off from the ancestor of alpha-type globin gene family. 相似文献

We found an enhancer element placed at the 3' side of the adult duck alpha A globin gene. The duck alpha globin gene cluster contains three genes from the 5' to 3' side: the pi embryonic gene, the alpha D minor adult gene and the alpha A adult major gene. We analyzed a 16 kb genomic domain extending from 2 kb upstream of the pi gene to 5 kb downstream of the alpha A gene. This enhancer is active in AEV transformed chicken erythroblasts. Its is inactive both in HeLa cells and in the human erythroid cells K562 which express only embryonic genes. These findings are discussed in relation to previous results concerning the duck beta globin enhancer located at the 3' side of the beta A globin gene. 相似文献

Erythrocytes of the adult axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, have multiple hemoglobins. We separated and purified two kinds of hemoglobin, termed major hemoglobin (Hb M) and minor hemoglobin (Hb m), from a five-year-old male by hydrophobic interaction column chromatography on Alkyl Superose. The hemoglobins have two distinct alpha type globin polypeptides (alphaM and alpham) and a common beta globin polypeptide, all of which were purified in FPLC on a reversed-phase column after S-pyridylethylation. The complete amino acid sequences of the three globin chains were determined separately using nucleotide sequencing with the assistance of protein sequencing. The mature globin molecules were composed of 141 amino acid residues for alphaM globin, 143 for alpham globin and 146 for beta globin. Comparing primary structures of the five kinds of axolotl globins, including two previously established alpha type globins from the same species, with other known globins of amphibians and representatives of other vertebrates, we constructed phylogenetic trees for amphibian hemoglobins and tetrapod hemoglobins. The molecular trees indicated that alphaM, alpham, beta and the previously known alpha major globin were adult types of globins and the other known alpha globin was a larval type. The existence of two to four more globins in the axolotl erythrocyte is predicted. 相似文献

Hemospan is an acellular hemoglobin-based oxygen therapeutic in clinical trials in Europe and the United States. The product is prepared by site-specific conjugation of maleimide-activated poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG, MW approximately 5500) to human oxyhemoglobin through maleimidation reactions either (1) directly to reactive Cys thiols or (2) at surface Lys groups following thiolation using 2-iminothiolane. The thiolation/maleimidation reactions lead to the addition of approximately 8 PEGs per hemoglobin tetramer. Identification of PEG modified globins by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF reveals a small percentage of protein migrating at the position for unmodified globin chains and the remaining as separate bands representing globin chains conjugated with 1 to 4 PEGs per chain. Identification of PEG modification sites on individual alpha and beta globins was made using reverse-phase HPLC, showing a series of alpha globins conjugated with 0 to 3 PEGs and a series of beta globins conjugated with 0 to 4 PEGs per globin. Mass analysis of tryptic peptides from hemoglobin thiolated and maleimidated with N-ethyl maleimide showed the same potential sites of modification regardless of thiolation reaction ratio, with seven sites identified on beta globins at beta8, beta17, beta59, beta66, beta93, beta95, and beta132 and three sites identified on alpha globins at alpha7, alpha16, and alpha40. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of rabbit embryonic globin gene beta 3 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The nucleotide sequence of a rabbit embryonic globin gene, beta 3, has been determined from 161 base pairs (bp) on the 5' side of the mRNA cap site to 209 base pairs beyond the 3' poly A addition site. The 5' and 3' ends of mRNA from both embryonic globin genes beta 3 and beta 4 have been determined by an S1 protection assay. Sequences that are highly conserved in the 5' flanking region of eukaryotic structural genes, AATAAAA and CCAAT, are located -25 to -31 nucleotides and -81 to -85 nucleotides, respectively, before the cap site. The CCAAT sequence is duplicated at -108 to -112 nucleotides, as it is in the human fetal gamma-globin genes. Small (124 bp) and large (817 bp) intervening sequences are located between codons 30 and 31 and between 104 and 105, respectively. The sequence AATAAA precedes the predominant poly(A) addition site by 19 nucleotides. Although rabbit globin gene beta 3 is transcribed and translated almost exclusively in embryonic erythrocytes, it shares striking homology with the human gamma-globin genes which are expressed in erythrocytes from fetal liver. The evolutionary conservation of rabbit beta 3 and human gamma correlates well with their similar chromosomal positions in the two genes families. 相似文献

To elucidate phylogenetic relationships among amniotes and the evolution of
alpha globins, hemoglobins were analyzed from the Komodo dragon (Komodo
monitor lizard) Varanus komodoensis, the world's largest extant lizard,
inhabiting Komodo Islands, Indonesia. Four unique globin chains (alpha A,
alpha D, beta B, and beta C) were isolated in an equal molar ratio by high
performance liquid chromatography from the hemolysate. The amino acid
sequences of two alpha chains were determined. The alpha D chain has a
glutamine at E7 as does an alpha chain of a snake, Liophis miliaris, but
the alpha A chain has a histidine at E7 like the majority of hemoglobins.
Phylogenetic analyses of 19 globins including two alpha chains of Komodo
dragon and ones from representative amniotes showed the following results:
(1) The a chains of squamates (snakes and lizards), which have a glutamine
at E7, are clustered with the embryonic alpha globin family, which
typically includes the alpha D chain from birds; (2) birds form a sister
group with other reptiles but not with mammals; (3) the genes for embryonic
and adult types of alpha globins were possibly produced by duplication of
the ancestral alpha gene before ancestral amniotes diverged, indicating
that each of the present amniotes might carry descendants of the two types
of alpha globin genes; (4) squamates first split off from the ancestor of
other reptiles and birds.

The equine alpha globin gene complex comprises two functional alpha genes and an alpha-like pseudogene arranged in the order 5'-alpha 2-(5kb)-alpha 1-(3kb)-psi alpha-3'. A single (embryonic) zeta-like sequence lies within a 12 kb region 5' to the alpha 2 gene. We have determined the sequence of the alpha 1 gene of the BII haplotype, one of two most common haplotypes (the other being BI) which encode alpha globins with either Tyr (BI) or Phe (BII) at codon 24 in both linked alpha genes. In BI and BII the non-allelic alpha 2 and alpha 1 genes respectively code for Gln or Lys at codon 60, thus accounting for the 4 alpha globin types seen in BI/BII heterozygotes. Genomic restriction enzyme maps of the BII alpha complex (24Phe/60Lys,Gln) and the allelic BI (24Tyr/60Lys,Gln) are identical to each other, and to those of a rarer normal haplotype, A, which encodes only alpha 24Tyr/60Gln globin, and a low expression mutant of BII which encodes only 24Phe/60Lys globin. These two latter haplotypes must therefore have a linked pair of alpha genes, as in BI and BII, but with identical coding properties, and it is suggested that this has arisen by gene conversion. 相似文献

Goats and some sheep synthesize a juvenile hemoglobin, Hb C (alpha 2 beta
C2), at birth and produce this hemoglobin exclusively during severe anemia.
Sheep that synthesize this juvenile hemoglobin are of the A haplotype.
Other sheep, belonging to a separate group, the B haplotype, do not
synthesize hemoglobin C and during anemia continue to produce their adult
hemoglobin. To understand the basis for this difference we have determined
the structural organization of the beta- globin locus of B-type sheep by
constructing and isolating overlapping genomic clones. These clones have
allowed us to establish the linkage map 5' epsilon I-epsilon II-psi beta
I-beta B-epsilon III-epsilon IV- psi beta II-beta F3' in this haplotype.
Thus, B sheep lack four genes, including the BC gene, and have only eight
genes, compared with the 12 found in the goat globin locus. The goat
beta-globin locus is as follows: 5' epsilon I-epsilon II-psi beta X-beta
C-epsilon III-epsilon IV-psi beta Z-beta A-epsilon V-epsilon VI-psi beta
Y-beta F3'. Southern blot analysis of A-type sheep reveals that these
animals have a beta- globin locus similar to that of goat, i.e., 12 globin
genes. Thus, the beta-globin locus of B-haplotype sheep resembles that of
cows and may have retained the duplicated locus of the ancestor of cows and
sheep. Alternatively, the B-sheep locus arrangement may be the result of a
deletion of a four-gene set from the triplicated locus.

As an approach to understand how the expression of globin genes are regulated during development, clones containing globin DNA sequences were selected from a recombinant library of goat genomic DNA. The type of globin gene present in each of the recombinants was determined by cross-hybridization to the DNA of mouse alpha- and beta-globin cDNA-containing plasmids. Of 11 clones isolated, eight hybridized specifically to the DNA of the mouse beta-globin plasmid, while one clone hybridized only to the DNA of the alpha globin plasmid. The location of each globin sequence within its DNA insert was determined by a combination of restriction enzyme mapping and Southern transfer-hybridizations. Selected fragments were sequenced; comparisons of the amino acids coded for by these regions with those of the goat globins identified clones carrying beta A-, beta C-, and gamma-globin genes. Another recombinant coded for amino acid sequences resembling, but not identical with, the known goat globins, and was identified tentatively as containing an embryonic or epsilon-gene. Detailed analysis of the clone containing the beta C gene and an overlapping clone revealed that three other beta-like sequences are located 6, 12, and 21 kilobases on the 5'-side of the beta C gene. The globin sequence of the locus nearest to the beta C gene has an altered translation termination codon and, if transcribed and translated, would give a globin chain seven amino acids longer than the normal goat beta C-globin. In addition, the sequence following this termination codon is very AT-rich, unlike that of other globin genes. The recombinants described contain extensive regions of DNA surrounding the globin genes, making them useful for identifying regulatory sequences as well as determining the sequence organization of the goat globin genes. 相似文献

The importance of the Arctic, in contributing to the knowledge of the overall ensemble of adaptive processes influencing the evolution of marine organisms, calls for investigations on molecular adaptations in Arctic fish. Unlike the vast majority of Antarctic Notothenioidei, several Arctic species display high hemoglobin multiplicity. The blood of four species, the spotted wolffish of the family Anarhichadidae and three Gadidae, contains three functionally distinct major components. Similar to many Antarctic notothenioids, Arctic Liparis tunicatus (suborder Cottoidei, family Liparidae) has one major hemoglobin (Hb 1) accompanied by a minor component (Hb 2). This paper reports the structural and functional characterisation of Hb 1 of L. tunicatus. This hemoglobin shows low oxygen affinity, and pronounced Bohr and Root effects. The amino-acid sequence of the beta chain displays an unusual substitution in NA2 (beta2) at the phosphate-binding site, and the replacement of Val E11 (beta67) with Ile. Similar to some Antarctic fish Hbs, electron paramagnetic resonance spectra reveal the formation of a ferric penta-coordinated species even at physiological pH. The amino-acid sequences have also been used to gain insight into the evolutionary history of globins of polar fish. L. tunicatus globins appear close to the notothenioid clades as predicted by teleostean phylogenies. Close phylogenetic relationships between Cottoidei and Notothenioidei, together with their life style, seem to be the main factor driving the globin-sequence evolution. 相似文献
