We have used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify, clone and sequence homologues of the Drosophila segment polarity genes engrailed (en), cubitus interruptus Dominant (ciD) and wingless (wg) from the genome of the brachiopod, Terebratulina retusa (Linnaeus). The deduced translation products of brachiopod en and ciD share high levels of sequence identity with their Drosophila homologues. The brachiopod wg-related clone is divergent from Drosophila wg, although clearly a member of the wg/Wnt gene family. These results indicate that structural diversity of Drosophila segment polarity genes has been evolutionarily conserved in a divergent, ancient and unsegmented animal phylum. 相似文献

Trichotillomania (TTM), an obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder (OCSD), is a psychiatric condition characterized by repetitive hair pulling. Evidence from family and twin studies suggest a heritable link of TTM. Functional polymorphisms in genes involved in neuronal pathways might influence the susceptibility to TTM. This review is an attempt to compile the genetic factors reported to modify the development of TTM. 相似文献

The human T cell antigen receptor is encoded by variable, diversity, and joining gene segments that rearrange to generate a complete V gene 总被引:62,自引:0,他引:62
A cDNA clone YT35 , synthesized from poly(A)+ RNA of the human T cell tumor Molt 3, exhibits homology to the variable (V), joining (J), and constant (C) regions of immunoglobulin genes. We have isolated and sequenced the germ-line V and J gene segment counterparts to YT35 from a human cosmid library, and these failed to encode 14 nucleotides of the cDNA clone between the V and J regions. We postulate that these 14 nucleotides are encoded by a third gene segment analogous to the diversity (D) gene segments of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes. This T cell antigen receptor V gene appears to be assembled from three gene segments, V, D, and J, and accordingly most closely resembles immunoglobulin heavy chain V genes. 相似文献

The genes encoding chain 1 (Ch1) and chain 2 (Ch2) of the major allergen of the domestic cat, Felis domesticus I, have been analyzed by genomic cloning and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Ch1 has two potential leader sequences, designated A and B. Analysis of a genomic clone encoding Ch1 demonstrated that one structural gene contains sequences corresponding to both leaders, which utilize different Met start codons. PCR analysis showed that genes encoding Ch1 and Ch2 are co-expressed in both the salivary glands and the skin, and that leader sequence A of Ch1 is utilized preferentially in both tissues. Ch2 was shown to have two dominant forms that are differentially expressed in the aforementioned tissues. The long form (Ch2L), composed of 92 amino acids (aa), is preferentially expressed in the salivary glands, while the short form (Ch2S), composed of 90 aa, is preferentially expressed in the skin. There is minor sequence polymorphism in both forms of Ch2. A genomic clone for Ch2 only contained sequences for Ch2S, suggesting that Ch2L is encoded by an exon not contained within this genomic clone. 相似文献

As a first step in our studies of functionally rearranged K genes of man we cloned the germline JK-CK region from placenta DNA employing a mouse JK clone as hybridization probe. Subclones of the human JK-CK region were then used to characterize and clone the rearranged K genes of the lymphoid cell lines Walker and Daudi. The Walker cell line contains one rearranged and one germline K allele (K+,KO; ref. 1). Only one K gene was found in Daudi cells (K+). Restriction mapping and DNA sequencing showed, that the rearranged K genes from both cell lines are closely related. These features make the two cell lines particularly suitable for studies on the chromatin structure of K light chain genes. The 5' flanks of the two genes (388 bp) are identical while there is a 12% divergence between the VK gene segments themselves. This situation may reflect somatic mutation processes and/or gene conversion like events. 相似文献

Conservation of the RD-BF-C2 organization in the pig MHC class-III region: mapping and cloning of the pig RD gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
L. J. Peelman M. Mattheeuws A. Van Zeveren A. van de Weghe Y. Bouquet 《Animal genetics》1996,27(1):35-42
The RD gene, named after the arginine (R) and aspartic acid (D) repeat in the central part of its protein, was initially mapped in the mouse H-2S subregion between C4 and BF. It was later mapped in the same position in the human MHC and here we show it is also conserved in the pig MHC class III region, close to the complement BF gene. A pig RD genomic clone was isolated from a γ-phage library. Hybridizations on genomic DNA separated with pulsed field gel electrophoresis identified common 220kb Nrul, 130 kb EagI and 200 kb Mlul bands for RD, BF and C2. The RD gene has also a 17 kb Kpnl and 11 kb Sad fragment in common with BFbut not with C2. The close linkage of the RD and BF genes was further established by hybridization of BF to a genomic γ-phage clone also containing the RD gene. This genomic RD clone overlaps with a γ -phage clone previously isolated and containing the complete BF gene and the 3' part of C2. The distance between RD and BF is about 6 kb. The junction between the two complement genes BF and C2 was sequenced and the BF 5' promoter region, overlapping the 3' noncoding region of C2, was compared with that of the human BF promoter. The overall homology was about 80% and all but one identified promoter elements were found in the same position in both genes. The results obtained demonstrate the RD-BF-C2 organization is strongly conserved between human, mouse and pig. No polymorphisms were detected in either the RD gene or in the BF promoter region using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment polymorphism analysis. 相似文献

Cloning of the gene and amino acid sequence for glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Amino acid sequencing of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Glc6PD) from Leuconostoc mesenteroides yielded sequence for over 75% of the protein. Two oligonucleotides based on the amino acid sequence were used to isolate a partial Glc6PD gene clone (pLmz delta N65), from a pUC9 library, containing 85% of the coding sequence and the 3'-untranslated DNA, but lacking the 5'-noncoding DNA sequence and the portion of the gene encoding the 65 N-terminal amino acids. Attempts to obtain a full-length clone from lambda libraries were unsuccessful, possibly due to restriction of L. mesenteroides DNA by Escherichia coli host cells. The 5'-untranslated DNA was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and partially sequenced. To obtain unmodified DNA for the gene, oligonucleotides corresponding to the 5'- and 3'-noncoding sequences were used to amplify the gene by the polymerase chain reaction, and a 1.8-kilobase pair fragment was isolated and cloned into pUC19. The recombinant plasmid, pLmz, contains the entire Glc6PD gene and expresses the gene in E. coli. pLmz was sequenced showing that the enzyme consists of 485 amino acids. L. mesenteroides Glc6PD is 31% identical to the human enzyme. 相似文献

Little is known about the primary amino acid structure of human cartilage link protein (CRTL1). We screened a human genomic library with a cDNA encoding the 3' untranslated region and the adjoining B1 domain of chicken link protein. One clone was isolated and characterized. A 3.5-kb EcoRI-KpnI fragment from this genomic clone that contains the human B1 exon was used to map the gene to chromosome 5q13----q14.1. The same fragment was used to screen a cDNA library prepared from mRNA of Caco-2, a human colon tumor cell line. Two overlapping clones were isolated and shown to encode all of CRTL1. The deduced amino acid sequence is 354 residues long. The amino acid sequence shows a striking degree of identity to the porcine (96%), rat (96%), and chicken (85%) link protein sequences. Furthermore, there is greater than 86% homology between the 3' untranslated region of the genes encoding human and porcine link proteins. These results indicate that there has been strong evolutionary pressure against changes in the coding and 3' untranslated regions of the gene encoding cartilage link protein. 相似文献

The ability to clone genes has greatly advanced cell and molecular biology research, enabling researchers to generate fluorescent protein fusions for localization and confirm genetic causation by mutant complementation. Most gene cloning is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)�or DNA synthesis-dependent, which can become costly and technically challenging as genes increase in size, particularly if they contain complex regions. This has been a long-standing challenge for the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii research community, as this alga has a high percentage of genes containing complex sequence structures. Here we overcame these challenges by developing a recombineering pipeline for the rapid parallel cloning of genes from a Chlamydomonas bacterial artificial chromosome collection. To generate fluorescent protein fusions for localization, we applied the pipeline at both batch and high-throughput scales to 203 genes related to the Chlamydomonas CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM), with an overall cloning success rate of 77%. Cloning success was independent of gene size and complexity, with cloned genes as large as 23 kb. Localization of a subset of CCM targets confirmed previous mass spectrometry data, identified new pyrenoid components, and enabled complementation of mutants. We provide vectors and detailed protocols to facilitate easy adoption of this technology, which we envision will open up new possibilities in algal and plant research.A high-throughput system was developed to clone large, complex genes at high frequency and perform mutant complementation and protein tagging with a range of fluorophores in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. 相似文献

Oxazolomycin (OZM), a hybrid peptide-polyketide antibiotic, exhibits potent antitumor and antiviral activities. Using degenerate primers to clone genes encoding methoxymalonyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) biosynthesis as probes, a 135-kb DNA region from Streptomyces albus JA3453 was cloned and found to cover the entire OZM biosynthetic gene cluster. The involvement of the cloned genes in OZM biosynthesis was confirmed by deletion of a 12-kb DNA fragment containing six genes for methoxymalonyl-ACP biosynthesis from the specific region of the chromosome, as well as deletion of the ozmC gene within this region, to generate OZM-nonproducing mutants. 相似文献

A porcine BAC clone harboring the tightly linked IFNAR1 and IFNGR2 genes was identified by comparative analysis of the publicly available porcine BAC end sequences. The complete 168,835 bp insert sequence of this clone was determined. Sequence comparisons of the genomic sequence with EST sequences from public databases were performed and allowed a detailed annotation of the IFNAR1 and IFNGR2 genes. The analyzed genes showed a conserved genomic organization with their known mammalian orthologs, however the sequence conservation of these genes across species was relatively low. In addition to the IFNAR1 and IFNGR2 genes, which were completely sequenced, the analyzed BAC clone also contained parts of an orphan gene encoding a putative transmembrane protein (TMEM50B). In contrast to the IFNAR1 and IFNGR2 genes the sequence conservation of the TMEM50B gene across different mammalian species was extremely high. 相似文献

A gene library from the methanol utilizing yeast Hansenula polymorpha, constructed in a lambda Charon4A vector, was used to clone the gene encoding a key methanol assimilating enzyme, dihydroxyacetone synthase (DHAS) by differential plaque hybridization. The nucleotide sequence of the 2106 bp structural gene and the 5' and 3' non-coding regions was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence of the protein is in agreement with the apparent molecular weight and amino acid composition of the purified protein. The codon bias is not so pronounced as in some Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes. 相似文献

Abstract A gene encoding a type I topoisomerase (TOP1) was isolated from Candida albicans , sequenced, and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . The TOP1 gene was identified from a C. albicans genomic library by hybridization with the product of a polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primer sets encoding regions conserved in other TOP1 genes. A clone containing an open reading frame of 2463 bp and predicted to encode a protein of 778 amino acids with sequence similarity to eukaryotic type I topoisomerases was identified. The C. albicans TOP1 gene restored camptothecin sensitivity and increased the topoisomerase activity in S. cerevisiae , indicating that the DNA fragment encodes a functional C. albicans topoisomerase I. 相似文献
