Nucleotide Sequence Analysis of DNA

There are three major obstacles to the analysis of the nucleotide sequence in a DNA molecule starting from a known location in the DNA molecule. First, it is difficult to obtain large quantities of homogeneous DNA. Second, even the smallest DNA molecules contain several thousand nucleotides which make sequence analysis prohibitive. Third, there are no highly base-specific DNAases available for degrading DNA for sequence analysis. We have overcome some of these obstacles; first, by incorporating highly labelled deoxynucleotides into DNA in vitro, small amounts of material can be used for sequence analysis. Second, the nucleotide sequence of DNA molecules can now be determined from the 5′-terminal. Thus, two dodecanucleotide sequences corresponding to the two cohesive ends of λ DNA have been determined¹ and a nona-decanucleotide sequence corresponding to one cohesive end of phage 186 DNA has been completed². So far, our approach is limited to starting the analysis from the 5′-ends of a DNA molecule. A more general approach is being developed for starting the analysis from other selected parts of a DNA molecule with the use of specifically designed primers.     

The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database

The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database (aka EMBL-Bank; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/) incorporates, organises and distributes nucleotide sequences from all available public sources. EMBL-Bank is located and maintained at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) near Cambridge, UK. In an international collaboration with DDBJ (Japan) and GenBank (USA), data are exchanged amongst the collaborating databases on a daily basis. Major contributors to the EMBL database are individual scientists and genome project groups. Webin is the preferred web-based submission system for individual submitters, whilst automatic procedures allow incorporation of sequence data from large-scale genome sequencing centres and from the European Patent Office (EPO). Database releases are produced quarterly. Network services allow free access to the most up-to-date data collection via FTP, email and World Wide Web interfaces. EBI’s Sequence Retrieval System (SRS), a network browser for databanks in molecular biology, integrates and links the main nucleotide and protein databases plus many other specialized databases. For sequence similarity searching, a variety of tools (e.g. Blitz, Fasta, BLAST) are available which allow external users to compare their own sequences against the latest data in the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database and SWISS-PROT. All resources can be accessed via the EBI home page at http://www.ebi.ac.uk.     

Nucleotide Sequence of Canine Smad3

The whole genome sequence of a Boxer dog suggested that the amino acid sequence of the carboxyl terminus of a putative Smad3 is SSVF-_COOH, not SSVS-_COOH as in all Smad3 sequences identified in many species. Because phosphorylation of the last two serines at the carboxyl terminus is generally indispensable for Smad3-mediated signaling, the role of Smad3 may be unique in dogs. The present study determines the nucleotide sequence of the coding region of canine Smad3 and deduces the carboxyl terminal amino acids of Smad3 in several breeds. Except for the Boxer, the deduced amino acid sequence was SSVS-_COOH in all dogs examined. In addition, the nucleotide at position 1204 in the Boxer was different from that of the other dogs. Furthermore, there was a SNP at nt 240. The present study indicates that the carboxyl terminal amino acid of canine Smad3 is not unique, although it is unknown in the Boxer breed.

Homogenization of Tandemly Repeated Nucleotide Sequences by Distance-Dependent Nucleotide Sequence Conversion

Previous work revealed that recurrent mutations (= mutation occurring more than once) in the tandemly repeated arrays present in nontranscribed spacers (NTS) of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) are clustered, i.e., they most frequently occur in repeats with adjacent or alternate distribution. A possible explanation is that the likelihood of heteroduplex formation, a prerequisite of gene conversion, decreases with the distance between repeats. To test this possibility, evolution of an array of 11 initially homogeneous repeats was computer simulated using three models, two assuming that the likelihood of heteroduplex formation decreases with increasing distance between the repeats and one assuming that it is constant. Patterns of mutation distribution obtained in computer simulations were compared with the distribution of mutations found in the repeated arrays in the NTS of seven rDNA clones. The patterns of mutations generated by the models assuming that the likelihood of heteroduplex formation decreases as distance between the repeats increases agreed with the patterns observed in rDNA; the patterns generated by the model assuming that the likelihood is independent of distance between repeats disagreed with the patterns observed in the rDNA clones. The topology of the heteroduplex formed between DNA in adjacent repeats predicts that the most frequently occurring conversions in the NTS repeated arrays will be shorter than the length of the repeat. The topology of the heteroduplex also predicts that if the heteroduplex leads to crossing over a circular repeat is excised. It is speculated that the circle can transpose or can be amplified via rolling circle replication and subsequently transpose. It is also shown that homogenization of the NTS repeated arrays proceeds at different rates in different species.     

Nucleotide Sequence of the Akv env Gene

The sequence of 2,191 nucleotides encoding the env gene of murine retrovirus Akv was determined by using a molecular clone of the Akv provirus. Deduction of the encoded amino acid sequence showed that a single open reading frame encodes a 638-amino acid precursor to gp70 and p15E. In addition, there is a typical leader sequence preceding the amino terminus of gp70. The locations of potential glycosylation sites and other structural features indicate that the entire gp70 molecule and most of p15E are located on the outer side of the membrane. Internal cleavage of the env precursor to generate gp70 and p15E occurs immediately adjacent to several basic amino acids at the carboxyl terminus of gp70. This cleavage generates a region of 42 uncharged, relatively hydrophobic amino acids at the amino terminus of p15E, which is located in a position analogous to the hydrophobic membrane fusion sequence of influenza virus hemagglutinin. The mature polypeptides are predicted to associate with the membrane via a region of 30 uncharged, mostly hydrophobic amino acids located near the carboxyl terminus of p15E. Distal to this membrane association region is a sequence of 35 amino acids at the carboxyl terminus of the env precursor, which is predicted to be located on the inner side of the membrane. By analogy to Moloney murine leukemia virus, a proteolytic cleavage in this region removes the terminal 19 amino acids, thus generating the carboxyl terminus of p15E. This leaves 15 amino acids at the carboxyl terminus of p15E on the inner side of the membrane in a position to interact with virion cores during budding. The precise location and order of the large RNase T(1)-resistant oligonucleotides in the env region were determined and compared with those from several leukemogenic viruses of AKR origin. This permitted a determination of how the differences in the leukemogenic viruses affect the primary structure of the env gene products.

The Nucleotide Sequence of Human Acylamino Acid-Releasing Enzyme

The nucleotide sequence of a cDNA coding for the human acylaminoacid-releasing enzyme (AARE, also known as acylpeptide hydrolase)[EC 3.4.19.1] subunit has been determined. The amino acid sequenceof human AARE subunit deduced from its cDNA nucleotide sequenceshowed a high degree of identity (91.5%) with both the correspondingproteins from the pig and the rat. The AARE cDNA shows 99.2%identity with a 3.3 kb cDNA transcribed from a locus (DNF15S2)on the short arm of human chromosome 3, whose deletion is associatedwith small cell lung cancer, taking into consideration thatthe sequence of the 3.3-kb cDNA previously reported was causedby misreading.
