基因敲入技术的突破

Baylor医学院的KoenVenken博士创新了基因敲入技术，这一突破使生物学家向果蝇体内敲入大量的DNA成为可能。传统的方法只能在果蝇基因组中插入较小的DNA片段，Venken的方法可将20000到133000大小碱基对的DNA敲入果蝇基因组。传统上，生物学家利用果蝇基因组中的P元素能够整合外源性DNA片段的特性，将目标DNA片段插入P元素，再将含有外源性DNA的P元素复合体导入果蝇基因组。这一传统方法能整合的DNA片段长度有限。Venken在研究中需要敲入很长的DNA片段到果蝇体内。于是他将含有DNA片段的P元素转入到质粒里，质粒能够较P元素自身更稳定地携带大片断DNA。

Detection of Nitrosomonas spp. by polymerase chain reaction

Abstract A unique genomic DNA fragment was isolated from Nitrosomonas europaea ATCC 19718. Based on the sequence of this fragment, oligonucleotide primers for polymerase chain reaction amplification were prepared which amplify sequences of 775 and 658 bp. The predicted DNA fragments were both amplified from the genome of N. europaea and a Nitrosomonas spp. isolated from a local oxidation pond. The primers failed to amplify DNA from the genomes of the ammonia oxidiser Nitrosolobous multiformis , the nitrite oxidiser Nitrococcus mobilis as well as from the genomes of other unrelated heterotrophic bacteria. These DNA sequences could be amplified from 0.01 ng of N. europaea genomic DNA or from 100 intact cells, and it was possible to detect Nitrosomonas DNA in a DNA mixture extracted from water samples drawn from a local oxidation pond.     

A DNA primer/probe system for the rapid and sensitive detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-complex pathogens

A 1.5 kb EcoRI-BamHI restriction fragment from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was found to hybridize specifically with genomic DNA from M. tuberculosis-complex organisms. Primers were designed from the terminal sequences of this fragment and used to amplify uniquely M. tuberculosis-group DNA in a polymerase chain reaction. It is suggested that a combination of these primers and probe will prove a useful tool for the early diagnosis of tuberculous infections.

Application of polymerase chain reaction with specific and arbitrary primers to identification and differentiation of Leishmania parasites

Abstract Two oligonucleotide primers Lsmc1 and Lsmv1 derived from the conserved and the variable region of a major class kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) minicircle (pLURkE3) of Leishmania strain UR6 were used for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in order to amplify a 461-bp fragment from the kDNAs of different Leishmania species. These primers amplify the specific fragment from the kDNAs of cutaneous species only. The cutaneous species can further be distinguished by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of the kDNAs of these organisms using arbitrarily chosen oligonucleotides. The arbitrary primers also generate polymorphic DNA fingerprints at the genomic level with different L. donovani isolates. The results indicate that the PCR and arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) may be extremely useful approaches for identifying and distinguishing Leishmania parasites.

Specific detection of residual CHO host cell DNA by real-time PCR.

Chinese hamster ovary cells have been widely used to manufacture recombinant proteins for human therapeutic use. A sensitive quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for the detection of residual Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) DNA is presented in this paper. The assay is reasonably affordable and can be adapted for high-throughput screening using 96-well format. Real-time PCR primers were designed to amplify a 150bp region of a genomic fragment from hamster DNA. The specificity of the probe was evaluated in real-time PCR reactions using genomic DNA from mouse fibroblast, human kidney and hamster ovary cell lines as template. Sensitivity of real-time PCR was compared on genomic DNA from hamster cell line CHO DG44. These primers can be used in real-time PCR reactions to detect presence of contaminating hamster DNA in purified protein samples down to sensitivity of 300fg genomic DNA.     

PCR amplification of large genomic fragments from human and simian immunodeficiency virus infected cell lines.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used to amplify the large fragments from viral genomic DNA of SIV from wild caught, asymptomatic Erythrocebus monkeys from Western Africa (Senegal) and also from HIV-2 infected cell lines. By using consensus primer sequences from highly conserved stretches of gag, pol and env genes, two halves of the viral genome of HIV-2 and SIV (isolated from west African Erythrocebus monkeys) have amplified by PCR. One half spans 5200 bp from within the U3 region of the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) into pol gene and an overlapping fragment spans 3700 bp from the pol gene into U5 region of 3' LTR. Also fragments ranging from 1-2.3 kb from gag pol and env genes have been successfully amplified. Our data demonstrate that primers used to amplify large segments from viral DNA yield better results if they are derived from a consensus sequence of a highly conserved stretch of the viral genome.     

Sequence analysis of the chitin synthase A gene of the Dutch elm pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi indicates a close association with the human pathogen Sporothrix schenckii.

Degenerate oligonucleotide primers were designed according to conserved regions of the chitin synthase gene family and used to amplify a 621 basepair (bp) fragment from genomic DNA of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, the causal agent of Dutch elm disease. The amplification product was used as a hybridization probe to screen a library of genomic DNA sequences and to retrieve a full-length chitin synthase gene (chsA). The putative coding region of the gene was 2619 bp long, lacked introns, and encoded a polypeptide of 873 amino acids. Based on the similarity of the predicted amino acid sequence to the full-length chsC gene of Aspergillus nidulans and chsA gene of Ampelomyces quisqualis, the O. novo-ulmi chsA was classified as a Class I chitin synthase. The phylogenies constructed, according to a subregion of all available chitin synthases, showed that O. novo-ulmi consistently clustered most closely with the human pathogen Sporothrix schenckii, recently classified as a member of the mitosporic Ophiostomataceae. Disruption of the chsA gene locus had no obvious effects on the growth or morphology of the fungus.     

Assignment of a porcine male-specific DNA repeat to Y-chromosomal heterochromatin.

Primers were designed to amplify by PCR a 509-bp genomic fragment from male pig DNA, using the porcine male-specific repeat sequence described by McGraw et al. (1988). This PCR product showed male-specific hybridization in Southern blots. Nonradioactive in situ hybridization localized it to the entire length of the heterochromatic portion of Yq. The assignment was confirmed using the PCR primer pDYZ1-S for primed in situ labeling.
