Using FISH and RH mapping a chromosomal map of rat chromosome 10 (RNO10) was constructed. Our mapping data were complemented by other published data and the final map was compared to maps of mouse and human chromosomes. RNO10 contained segments homologous to mouse chromosomes (MMU) 11, 16 and 17, with evolutionary breakpoints between the three segments situated in the proximal part of RNO10. Near one of these breakpoints (between MMU17 and 11) we found evidence for an inversion ancestral to the mouse that was not ancestral to the condition in the rat. Within each of the chromosome segments identified, the gene order appeared to be largely conserved. This conservation was particularly clear in the long MMU11-homologous segment. RNO10 also contained segments homologous to three human chromosomes (HSA5, 16, 17). However, within each segment of conserved synteny were signs of more extensive rearrangements. At least 13 different evolutionary breakpoints were indicated in the rat-human comparison. In contrast to what was found between rat and mouse, the rat-human evolutionary breaks were distributed along the entire length of RNO10.  相似文献

Comparative fluorescence in situ hybridization mapping using DNA libraries from flow-sorted mouse chromosomes and region-specific mouse BAC clones on rat chromosomes reveals chromosomal homologies between mouse (Mus musculus, MMU) and rat (Rattus norvegicus, RNO). Each of the MMU 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, and X chromosomes paints only a single rat chromosome or chromosome segment and, thus, the chromosomes are largely conserved between the two species. In contrast, the painting probes for MMU chromosomes 1, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, and 17 produce split hybridization signals in the rat, disclosing evolutionary chromosome rearrangements. Comparative mapping data delineate several large linkage groups on RNO 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14 that are conserved in human but diverged in the mouse. On the other hand, there are linkage groups in the mouse, i.e., on MMU 1, 8, 10, and 11, that are disrupted in both rat and human. In addition, we have hybridized probes for Nap2, p57, Igf2, H19, and Sh3d2c from MMU 7 to RNO 1q and found the orientation of the imprinting gene cluster and Sh3d2c to be the same in mouse and rat. Hybridization of rat genomic DNA shows blocks of (rat-specific) repetitive sequences in the pericentromeric region of RNO chromosomes 3-5, 7-13, and 20; on the short arms of RNO chromosomes 3, 12, and 13; and on the entire Y chromosome.  相似文献

Pericentric inversions are important for evolutionary biology because of their potential role in speciation. They may result in reproductive isolation due to illegitimate pairing of homologues at meiosis which leads to the production of aneuploid gametes (containing deletions or duplications of chromosomal segments), and consequently mediate chromosomal divergence. In this study, we describe the prevalence of pericentric inversions in the African vlei rat, Otomys irroratus (OIR). The species is characterized by intraspecific chromosomal variation (2n = 23-32) across its distribution in southern Africa. Here, we analyzed 55 individuals collected from 7 localities in South Africa by G- and C-banding and chromosome painting with flow sorts of Myotomys unisulcatus. Of the 55 specimens that were analyzed, 47% contained inversions or centromeric shifts on 4 autosomes (OIR1, 4, 6 and 10) which were present singly in specimens (i.e. none of the specimens contained all 4 inversions concurrently). These inversions were found in both homozygous and heterozygous state over a wide geographic range suggesting that they are floating polymorphisms. Given the potential role of inversions in post-mating isolation (through production of aneuploid gametes), the prevalence of inversions as floating polymorphisms in the vlei rats suggests that they are probably retained in the population through suppression of recombination in the inverted regions of the chromosomes.  相似文献

By fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using mouse probes, we assigned homologues for cathepsin E (Ctse), protocadherin 10 (Pcdh10, alias OL-protocadherin, Ol-pc), protocadherin 13 (Pcdh13, alias protocadherin 2c, Pcdh2c), neuroglycan C (Cspg5) and myosin X (Myo10) genes to rat chromosomes (RNO) 13q13, 2q24-->q25, 18p12-->p11, 8q32.1 and 2q22.1-->q22.3, respectively. Similarly, homologues for mouse Ctse, Pcdh13, Cspg5 and Myo10 genes and homologues for rat Smad2 (Madh2) and Smad4 (Madh4) genes were assigned to Chinese hamster chromosomes (CGR) 5q28, 2q17, 4q26, 2p29-->p27, 2q112-->q113 and 2q112-->q113, respectively. The chromosome assignments of homologues of Ctse and Cspg5 reinforced well-known homologous relationships among mouse chromosome (MMU) 1, RNO 13 and CGR 5q, and among MMU 9, RNO 8 and CGR 4q, respectively. The chromosome locations of homologues for Madh2, Madh4 and Pcdh13 genes suggested that inversion events were involved in chromosomal rearrangements in the differentiation of MMU 18 and RNO 18, whereas most of MMU 18 is conserved as a continuous segment in CGR 2q. Furthermore, the mapping result of Myo10 and homologues suggested an orthologous segment of MMU 15, RNO 2 and CGR 2.  相似文献

We report on the hybridization of mouse chromosomal paints to Apodemus sylvaticus, the long-tailed field mouse. The mouse paints detected 38 conserved segments in the Apodemus karyotype. Together with the species reported here there are now six species of rodents mapped with Mus musculus painting probes. A parsimony analysis indicated that the syntenies of nine M. musculus chromosomes were most likely already formed in the muroid ancestor: 3, 4, 7, 9, 14, 18, 19, X and Y. The widespread occurrence of syntenic segment associations of mouse chromosomes 1/17, 2/13, 7/19, 10/17, 11/16, 12/17 and 13/15 suggests that these associations were ancestral syntenies for muroid rodents. The muroid ancestral karyotype probably had a diploid number of about 2n = 54. It would be desirable to have a richer phylogenetic array of species before any final conclusions are drawn about the Muridae ancestral karyotype. The ancestral karyotype presented here should be considered as a working hypothesis.  相似文献

Canine tricuspid valve malformation (CTVM) maps to canine chromosome 9 (CFA9), in a region syntenic with gene-dense human chromosome 17q. To define synteny blocks, we analyzed 148 markers on CFA9 using radiation hybrid mapping and established a four-way comparative map for human, mouse, rat, and dog. We identified a large number of rearrangements, allowing us to reconstruct the evolutionary history of individual synteny blocks and large chromosomal segments. A most parsimonious rearrangement scenario for all four species reveals that human chromosome 17q differs from CFA9 and the syntenic rodent chromosomes through two macroreversals of 9.2 and 23 Mb. Compared to a recovered ancestral gene order, CFA9 has undergone 11 reversals of <3 Mb and 2 reversals of >3 Mb. Interspecies reuse of breakpoints for micro- and macrorearrangements was observed. Gene order and content of the ctvm interval are best extrapolated from murine data, showing that multispecies genome rearrangement scenarios contribute to identifying gene content in canine mapping studies.  相似文献

This review examines recent advances in comparative eutherian cytogenetics, including Zoo-FISH data from 30 non-primate species. These data provide insights into the nature of karyotype evolution and enable the confident reconstruction of ancestral primate and boreo-eutherian karyotypes with diploid chromosome numbers of 48 and 46 chromosomes, respectively. Nine human autosomes (1, 5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 17, 18, and 20) represent the syntenies of ancestral boreo-eutherian chromosomes and have been conserved for about 95 million years. The average rate of chromosomal exchanges in eutherian evolution is estimated to about 1.9 rearrangements per 10 million years (involving 3.4 chromosome breaks). The integrated analysis of Zoo-FISH data and alignments of human and mouse draft genome sequences allow the identification of breakpoints involved in primate evolution. Thus, the boundaries of ancestral eutherian conserved segments can be delineated precisely. The mapping of rearrangements onto the phylogenetic tree visualizes landmark chromosome rearrangements, which might have been involved in cladogenesis in eutherian evolution.  相似文献

Through a combination of radiation hybrid mapping and studies by FISH and zoo-FISH we have made a comparative investigation of the distal portion of rat chromosome 1 (RNO1) and the entire mouse chromosome 19 (MMU19). It was found that homologous segments of RNO1 and MMU19 are similar in banding morphology and in length as determined by several different methods, and that the gene order of the 46 genes studied appears to be conserved across the homologous segments in the two species. High-resolution zoo-FISH techniques showed that MMU19 probes highlight only a continuous segment on RNO1 (1q43-qter), with no detectable signals on other rat chromosomes. We conclude that these data suggest the evolutionary conservation of a chromosomal segment from a common rodent ancestor. This segment now constitutes the entire MMU19 and a large segment distally on RNO1q in the mouse and rat, respectively.  相似文献

1. A comparative study of calcium and bicarbonate in the urine was carried out on the subterranean mole rat Cryptomys hottenttus and the terrestrial vlei rat Otomys irroratus. 2. The two species were kept on two different diets; carrots, a high calcium diet (41 mg/ 100 kg) or potatoes, a low calcium diet (14 mg/ 100g). 3. The results show that the urine of the mole rat contained high values of calcium bicarbonate on either diet. 4. The urine of the vlei rat showed high values of calcium bicarbonate only when kept on the high calcium diet. 5. From these results we assume that in subterranean rodents excretion of calcium bicarbonate is an adaptive mechanism to unload CO2 without increasing its concentration in the hypercapnic environment.  相似文献

Chromosomal locations of theAtm(ataxia–telangiectasia (AT)-mutated) andAcat1(mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase) genes in mouse, rat, and Syrian hamster were determined by direct R-banding FISH. Both genes were colocalized to the C-D band of mouse chromosome 9, the proximal end of q24.1 of rat chromosome 8, and qa4–qa5 of Syrian hamster chromosome 12. The regions in the mouse and rat were homologous to human chromosome 11q. Fine genetic linkage mapping of the mouse AT region was performed using the interspecific backcross mice.Atm, Acat1,andNpat,which is a new gene isolated from the AT region, and 12 flanking microsatellite DNA markers were examined. No recombinations were found among theAtm, Npat, Acat1,andD9Mit6loci, and these loci were mapped 2.0 cM distal toD9Mit99and 1.3 cM proximal toD9Mit102.Comparison of the linkage map of mouse chromosome 9 (MMU9) and that of human chromosome 11 (HSA11) indicates that there is a chromosomal rearrangement due to an inversion betweenEts1andAtm–Npat–Acat1and that the inversion of MMU9 originated from the chromosomal breakage at the boundary betweenGria4andAtm–Npat–Acat1on HSA11. This type of inversion appeared to be conserved in the three rodent species, mouse, rat, and Syrian hamster, using additional comparative mapping data with theRckgene.  相似文献

The human gene for cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), the enzyme deficient in classical homocystinuria, has been assigned to the subtelomeric region of band 21q22.3 by in situ hybridization of a rat cDNA probe to structurally rearranged chromosomes 21. The homologous locus in the mouse (Cbs) was mapped to the proximal half of mouse chromosome 17 by Southern analysis of Chinese hamster X mouse somatic cell hybrid DNA. Thus, CBS/Cbs and the gene for alpha A-crystalline (CRYA1/Crya-1 or Acry-1) form a conserved linkage group on human (HSA) chromosome region 21q22.3 and mouse (MMU) chromosome 17 region A-C. Features of Down syndrome (DS) caused by three copies of these genes should not be present in mice trisomic for MMU 16 that have been proposed as animal models for DS. Mice partially trisomic for MMU 16 or MMU 17 should allow gene-specific dissection of the trisomy 21 phenotype.  相似文献

G- and C-banding delimits two cytogenetic groups within the vlei rat, Otomys irroratus. One has a diploid number of 2n = 24, resulting from a centric fusion of chromosomes 7 and 12 of the O. irroratus standard coupled with a tandem fusion to chromosome 8. The second has a diploid number of 2n = 28, lacks the compound chromosome, and appears to have a far wider geographic distribution within South Africa. Additionally, the two groups differ through the presence of cytotype-specific heterozygous centric fusions and one to three B chromosomes which appear as floating polymorphisms in the 2n = 28 complex.  相似文献

This work presents chromosome homology maps between Mus musculus (MMU) and 2 South American rodent species from the Cricetidae group: Necromys lasiurus (NLA, 2n = 34) and Thaptomys nigrita (TNI, 2n = 52), established by ZOO-FISH using mouse chromosome-specific painting probes. Extending previous molecular cytogenetic studies in Neotropical rodents, the purpose of this work was to delineate evolutionary chromosomal rearrangements in Cricetidae rodents and to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships among the Akodontini species. Our phylogenetic reconstruction by maximum parsimony analysis of chromosomal characters confirmed one consistent clade of all Neotropical rodents studied so far. In both species analyzed here, we observed the syntenic association of chromosome segments homologous to MMU 8/13, suggesting that this chromosome form is a synapomorphic trait exclusive to Neotropical rodents. Further, the previously described Akodontini-specific syntenic associations MMU 3/18 and MMU 6/12 were observed in N.lasiurus but not in T. nigrita, although the latter species is considered a member of the Akodontini tribe by some authors. Finally, and in agreement with this finding, N.lasiurus and Akodon serrensis share the derived fission of MMU 13, which places them as basal sister clades within Akodontini.  相似文献

Previously, we assigned the alpha A2-crystallin (Crya-1) structural gene to mouse chromosome 17 via Southern blot hybridization analysis of mouse x Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. Using in situ hybridization, we have now localized this gene to 17A3----B, a subchromosomal region containing several genes whose linkage relationships have been shown to be conserved on human chromosome 6. In man, however, the homologous gene (CRYA1) is located on human chromosome 21, indicating that internal rearrangements can occur within highly conserved chromosomal regions during the divergence of man and mouse.  相似文献

The distribution along Drosophila melanogaster polytene X-chromosome and autosomes of 10911 in situ hybridization sites of a broad spectrum of copialike mobile elements is investigated. It is shown that against DNA content X-chromsomal cytological sections 14 + 15 and 16 + 17 contain much less mobile elements than other chromosomal regions. These X-chromosomal regions are also characterized both by significant decrease in the meiotic recombination frequencies and the amount of poly(dC-dA).poly(dG-dT) sequences which are capable to generate the Z form of DNA.  相似文献

Multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase is the only enzyme known to hydrolyze the abundant metabolites inositol pentakisphosphate and inositol hexakisphosphate. We have previously demonstrated that the chick homolog of multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase, designated HiPER1, has a role in growth plate chondrocyte differentiation. The relationship of these enzymes to intracellular signaling is obscure, and as part of our investigation we have examined the murine ((MMU)Minpp1) and human ((HSA)MINPP1) homologs. Northern blot analysis demonstrated expression of ((MMU)Minpp1 in a variety of mouse tissues, comparable to the expression of other mammalian homologs, but less restricted than the expression of HiPER1 in chick. A purified (MMU)Minpp1 fusion protein cleaved phosphate from inositol (1,3,4,5)-tetrakisphosphate and para-nitrophenyl phosphate. When the presumptive active site histidine was altered to alanine by site-directed mutagenesis, enzyme activity was abolished, confirming the classification of (MMU)Minpp1 as a histidine phosphatase. The amino acid sequences of the murine and human MINPP proteins share >80% identity with the rat enzyme and >56% identity with HiPER1, with conservation of the C-terminal consensus sequence that retains proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. The intron/exon structure of the mammalian (MMU)Minpp1 and (HSA)MINPP1 genes is also conserved compared to the chick HiPER1 gene. Sequence analysis of plant and fruit fly MINPP homologs supports the hypothesis that the MINPP enzymes constitute a distinct evolutionary group within the histidine phosphatase family. We have mapped (HSA)MINPP1 to human chromosome 10q23 by fluorescence in situ hybridization, YAC screening, and radiation hybrid mapping. This assignment places (HSA)MINPP1 in a region of chromosome 10 that is frequently mutated in human cancers and places (HSA)MINPP1 proximal to the tumor suppressor PTEN, which maps to 10q23.3. Using a radiation hybrid panel, we localized (MMU)Minpp1 to a region of mouse chromosome 19 that includes the murine homolog of Pten. The evolutionary conservation of this novel enzyme within the inositol polyphosphate pathway suggests a significant role for multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase throughout higher eukaryotes.  相似文献

Two members of the zinc finger Krüppel family, ZNF24 (KOX17) and ZNF29 (KOX26), have been localized by somatic cell hybrid analysis and in situ chromosomal hybridization to human chromosomes 18q12 and 17p13-p12, respectively. The mapping of ZNF29 together with the previously reported localization of ZFP3 suggests that a zinc finger gene complex is located on human chromosome 17p. ZNF29 maps centromeric to the human p53 tumor antigen gene (TP53). In the analogous murine position, the two mouse zinc finger genes Zfp2 and Zfp3 have recently been assigned to the distal region of mouse chromosome 11, the murine homolog of human chromosome 17. Both human zinc finger genes ZNF24 and ZNF29 are in chromosomal regions that have been noted to be deleted in neoplasms of the lung and of the central nervous system at chromosome 17p and in colorectal neoplasia at chromosomes 17p and 18q.  相似文献

Genes homologous to those located on human chromosome 4 (HSA4) were mapped in the bovine to determine regions of syntenic conservation among humans, mice, and cattle. Previous studies have shown that two homologs of genes on HSA4, PGM2 and PEPS, are located in bovine syntenic group U15 (chromosome 6). The homologous mouse genes, Pgm-1 and Pep-7, are on MMU5. Using a panel of bovine x hamster hybrid somatic cells, we have assigned homologs of 11 additional HSA4 loci to their respective bovine syntenic groups. D4S43, D4S10, QDPR, IGJ, ADH2, KIT, and IF were assigned to syntenic group U15. This syntenic arrangement is not conserved in the mouse, where D4s43, D4s10, Qdpr, and Igj are on MMU5 while Adh-2 is on MMU3. IL-2, FGB, FGG, and F11, which also reside on MMU3, were assigned to bovine syntenic group U23. These data suggest that breaks and/or fusions of ancestral chromosomes carrying these genes occurred at different places during the evolution of humans, cattle, and mice.  相似文献
