The glucosinolate-degrading enzyme myrosinase in Brassicaceae is encoded by a gene family 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
A full-length cDNA clone (MB3) and three partial clones (MA1, MB1 and MB2) which encode myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.3.1) were isolated from a Sinapis alba (white mustard) cDNA library. Nucleotide sequence analysis of these clones revealed that they are encoded by a gene family. Southern blot analysis with gene-specific probes showed that the gene family consists of a least two subfamilies (MA and MB) each with several members both in S. alba and in Brassica napus (oilseed rape). In Arabidopsis thaliana (wall cress) only three myrosinase genes seem to be present. Northern blot analysis indicated that all the myrosinase mRNA species have the same size, approximately 1.95 kb. 相似文献

Arabidopsis thaliana, a member of the Brassicaceae, is a model plant whose genome was the first higher plant genome to be sequenced. Because of the small size of the flowers, it is difficult to dissect and separate reproductive organs (anthers and pistils) at different developmental stages in A. thaliana. In order to perform genome-wide identification of anther-specific genes in A. thaliana, an Arabidopsis cDNA macroarray was hybridized to cDNA derived from anthers and pistils of another crucifer, Brassica oleracea. After scanning the signal intensity for each clone, and cluster analysis, 52 anther-specific genes were identified. These clones contained several anther-specific genes that have already been characterized, as well as novel anther-specific genes. In RT-PCR analysis with mRNA of A. thaliana and B. oleracea, the expression pattern of one-third of the clones was similar to that determined by cDNA macroarray. This system of heterologous hybridization analysis (Arabidopsis cDNA macroarray vs Brassica tissue-specific mRNA) should be applicable to other model species and their close relatives. 相似文献

We have devised a method for efficiently constructing high-content full-length cDNA libraries based on chemical introduction of a biotin group into the diol residue of the cap structure of eukaryotic mRNA, followed by RNase I treatment to select full-length cDNA. The selection occurs by trapping the biotin residue at the cap sites using streptavidin-coated magnetic beads, thus eliminating incompletely synthesized cDNAs. When this method was used to construct a mouse brain full-length cDNA library, our evaluation showed that more than 95% of the total clones were of full length, and recombinant clones could be produced with high efficiency (1.2 × 107/10 μg starting mRNA). The analysis of 120 randomly picked clones indicates an unbiased representation of the starting mRNA population. 相似文献

Two cDNA clones which appear to encode different subunits of NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH; EC 1.1.1.41) were identified by homology searches from the Arabidopsis EST database. These cDNA clones were obtained and sequenced; both encoded full-length messages and displayed 82.7% nucleotide sequence identity over the coding region. The deduced amino acid sequences revealed preprotein lengths of 367 residues, with an amino acid identity of 86.1%. Genomic Southern blot analysis showed distinct single-copy genes for both IDH subunits. Both IDH subunits were expressed as recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli, and polyclonal antibodies were raised to each subunit. The Arabidopsis cDNA clones were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants which were deficient in either one or both of the yeast NAD+-dependent IDH subunits. The Arabidopsis cDNA clones failed to complement the yeast mutations; although both IDH-I and IDH-II were expressed at detectable levels, neither protein was imported into the mitochondria. 相似文献

SMART amplification combined with cDNA size fractionation in order to obtain large full-length clones 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Background
cDNA libraries are widely used to identify genes and splice variants, and as a physical resource for full-length clones. Conventionally-generated cDNA libraries contain a high percentage of 5'-truncated clones. Current library construction methods that enrich for full-length mRNA are laborious, and involve several enzymatic steps performed on mRNA, which renders them sensitive to RNA degradation. The SMART technique for full-length enrichment is robust but results in limited cDNA insert size of the library. 相似文献9.

A large collection of full-length cDNAs is essential for the correct annotation of genomic sequences and for the functional analysis of genes and their products. We obtained a total of 39 936 soybean cDNA clones (GMFL01 and GMFL02 clone sets) in a full-length-enriched cDNA library which was constructed from soybean plants that were grown under various developmental and environmental conditions. Sequencing from 5′ and 3′ ends of the clones generated 68 661 expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The EST sequences were clustered into 22 674 scaffolds involving 2580 full-length sequences. In addition, we sequenced 4712 full-length cDNAs. After removing overlaps, we obtained 6570 new full-length sequences of soybean cDNAs so far. Our data indicated that 87.7% of the soybean cDNA clones contain complete coding sequences in addition to 5′- and 3′-untranslated regions. All of the obtained data confirmed that our collection of soybean full-length cDNAs covers a wide variety of genes. Comparative analysis between the derived sequences from soybean and Arabidopsis, rice or other legumes data revealed that some specific genes were involved in our collection and a large part of them could be annotated to unknown functions. A large set of soybean full-length cDNA clones reported in this study will serve as a useful resource for gene discovery from soybean and will also aid a precise annotation of the soybean genome.Key words: EST, full-length cDNA, functional annotation, legume, soybean 相似文献

cDNA cloning of mRNAs induced in resistant barley during infection by Erysiphe graminis f.sp. Hordei
Summary Near-isogenic cultivars of Hordeum vulgare which differ for the Mlp gene for resistance to Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei were inoculated with race 3 of this pathogen and in vitro translation products of mRNA populations compared by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and fluorography. This revealed the presence of new mRNA species in infected leaves compared to non-inoculated controls. These new mRNA species were more abundant in resistant leaves than susceptible leaves. A cDNA library was prepared from poly(A)+RNA isolated from infected leaves carrying the Mlp gene for resistance (cvMlp). The library was screened by differential hybridization using [32P]-labelled cDNA prepared from poly(A)+RNA of both control and infected leaves. Six cDNA clones showing greater hybridization to cDNA prepared from infected leaves were selected. These six cDNA clones hybridized to DNA isolated from barley leaves but not to DNA from conidia of the fungus. In Northern blot analysis of RNA from infected leaves the six cDNA clones each hybridized to mRNA species of different size. Translation products for three of the cDNA clones corresponded to infection-related translation products identified on 2-dimensional fluorograms. The cDNA clones were used to study the kinetics of host mRNA induction during infection of the near-isogenic cultivars of barley. The host mRNA species corresponding to the cDNA clones were induced prior to 24 h after inoculation during the primary penetration processes. In addition the mRNAs corresponding to four of the cDNA clones increased to greater amounts in cvMlp than in the near-isogenic susceptible cultivar (cvmlp) over a 2-d period following inoculation. These results suggest that the Mlp gene has a regulatory role in host gene expression resulting in enhanced expression of several host mRNA species following infection by the powdery mildew fungus. 相似文献

In the green unicellular alga Chlamydomonas eugametos, cellular division is readily synchronized by light/dark cycles. Under these conditions, light initiates photosynthetic growth in daughter cells and begins the G1 phase. Genes whose expression is regulated upon illumination are likely to be important mechanisms controlling cell proliferation. To identify some of those genes, two cDNA libraries were prepared with poly(A)+ extracted from cells either stimulated with light for 1 h or held in darkness (quiescent cells) during the same period. To restrict our analysis to those genes that are part of the primary response, cells were incubated in presence of cycloheximide. Differential screening of approximately 40 000 clones in each library revealed 44 clones which hybridize preferentially with a [32P] cDNA probe derived from RNA of light-stimulated cells and 15 clones which react selectively with a [32P] cDNA probe synthesized from poly(A)+ RNA of quiescent cells. Cross-hybridization of these clones identified 4 independent sequences in the light-induced (LI) collection and 2 in the uninduced (LR) library. Four of these cDNAs correspond to mRNAs that are positively or negatively regulated upon activation of photosynthesis. One clone represents a mRNA that accumulates transitorily at both transitions. Finally, LI818 cDNA identifies a new chlorophyll a/b-binding (cab) gene family whose mRNA accumulation is controlled by light and a circadian oscillator. The endogenous timing system controls LI818 mRNA accumulation so that it precedes the onset of illumination by a few hours. On the other hand, light affects LI818 mRNA levels independently of active photosynthesis. 相似文献

Seventeen cDNA clones of genes corresponding to mRNAs expressed preferentially in floral organs of Arabidopsis thaliana were obtained by differential screening of a flower bud cDNA library, and classified into five groups (1A, 17A, 1B, 4B and 5B) by cross-hybridization and restriction analysis. Sequence analysis revealed that the 1A-1 and 17A-1 clones encode vegetative storage proteins (VSPs). The VSP mRNAs were detected in a small amount in leaves and increased to a limited level by wounding. Both 1B-1 and 5B-1 clones were homologous to transmembrane protein cDNAs. The protein encoded by 4B-1 clone contained a proline-rich region, but no homologous proteins were found in databases. 相似文献

Generation of Arabidopsis Mutants by Heterologous Expression of a Full-Length cDNA Library from Tomato Fruits 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Heterologous expression of cDNA library in Arabidopsis and other plants has been used for gene identifications. To identify
functions of tomato genes, we expressed a tomato full-length cDNA library in Arabidopsis thaliana and generated over 7,000 mutants. We constructed a tomato cDNA library with a plant transformation-ready binary vector that
contained a higher percentage of full-length cDNAs since synthesized double-stranded cDNA was size-selected using gel electrophoresis,
with cDNA sizes of 2–5 kb being gel-purified for ligation onto the binary vector. Sequencing of 81 cDNA clones indicates that
75% (61) are full-length genes, which is similar to sequencing of inserted cDNA in Arabidopsis. The library was used to transform
Arabidopsis plants. Among the 7,000 mutants, one was found to be a dwarf due to the expression of an ATP synthase, and another
vegetative mutant did not produce flowers even after 7 months. The technique was validated by reintroducing the tomato ribosomal
protein L9 gene and can be used in any other plant species as a gene discovery tool. 相似文献

Aluminum Induces Oxidative Stress Genes in Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Changes in gene expression induced by toxic levels of Al were characterized to investigate the nature of Al stress. A cDNA library was constructed from Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings treated with Al for 2 h. We identified five cDNA clones that showed a transient induction of their mRNA levels, four cDNA clones that showed a longer induction period, and two down-regulated genes. Expression of the four long-term-induced genes remained at elevated levels for at least 48 h. The genes encoded peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, blue copper-binding protein, and a protein homologous to the reticuline:oxygen oxidoreductase enzyme. Three of these genes are known to be induced by oxidative stresses and the fourth is induced by pathogen treatment. Another oxidative stress gene, superoxide dismutase, and a gene for Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor were also induced by Al in A. thaliana. These results suggested that Al treatment of Arabidopsis induces oxidative stress. In confirmation of this hypothesis, three of four genes induced by Al stress in A. thaliana were also shown to be induced by ozone. Our results demonstrate that oxidative stress is an important component of the plant's reaction to toxic levels of Al. 相似文献

The accumulation of the Kunitz-type chymotrypsin inhibitor WCI-3 in winged bean seeds is controlled developmentally. In vitro translation experiments showed that the WCI-3 mRNA was present in 35- and 40-day-old immature seeds after flowering. The size of the in vitro translation product is about 2 000 Da larger than that of the mature WCI-3 protein. The WCI-3 cDNA clones were isolated from a gtll cDNA library of 35-day-old immature seeds by immunoscreening. A nearly full-length cDNA clone was obtained containing an open reading frame of 207 amino acid residues. The deduced sequence of the 183 carboxy terminal amino acids coincides precisely with the amino acid sequence determined for purified WCI-3. The amino terminal extension of 24 residues has the characteristics of a signal peptide. Northern hybridization analysis of total poly(A)+ RNA showed that the WCI-3 mRNA is approximately 900 nucleotides long and accumulates in 35- and 40-day-old but not in 30-day-old immature seeds. 相似文献
