Nuclear sequences of ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of rDNA may be an important source of phylogenetically informative data provided that nrDNA is cloned and the character of sequence variation of clones is properly analyzed. nrDNA of selected Taraxacum sections was studied to show sequence variation differences among diploid sexual, tetraploid sexual and polyploid agamospermous species. We examined nucleotide characteristics, substitution pattern, secondary structure, and the phylogenetic utility of ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 from 301 clones of 32 species representing 11 sections. The most divergent sequences of ITS1&2 differed by 17.1% and in 5.8S only by 3.7%. The ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 characteristics, integrity and also stability of secondary structures confirmed that pseudogenes are not responsible for the above variation. The within-individual polymorphism of clones implies that the concerted evolution of ITS cistron of agamospermous polyploid Taraxacum is remarkably suppressed. Sequences of ITS clones proved to be a useful tool for mapping pathways of complex reticulation (polyploid hybridity) in agamospermous Taraxacum. 相似文献

Identification of species in the genus Pichia by restriction of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2)
and the 5.8S ribosomal DNA gene 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In this study, the variability within the ribosomal DNA region spanning the internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2 and the 5.8S gene (5.8S-ITS rDNA) was used to differentiate species in the genus Pichia. The 5.8S-ITS rDNA region was PCR-amplified and the PCR product digested with the enzymes CfoI, HinfI, and HaeIII. The variability in the size of the amplified product and in the restriction patterns enabled differentiation between species in the genus Pichia, and between Pichia species and yeast species from other genera in the Yeast-id database (). Moreover, the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns of the 5.8S-ITS enabled misidentified strains to be detected and revealed genetic heterogeneity between strains within the Pichia membranifaciens and Pichia nakazawae species. Ultimately, the RFLP patterns of the 5.8S-ITS rDNA failed to differentiate between some Pichia and Candida species that could be distinguished on the basis of the sequence of the 5.8S-ITS rRNA region or the sequence of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rDNA gene. 相似文献

The contribution of C-genome diploid species to the evolution of polyploid oats was studied using C-genome ITS-specific primers. SCAR analysis among Avena accessions confirmed the presence of C-genome ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences in the genome of AACC and AACCDD polyploids. In situ hybridization and screening of more than a thousand rRNA clones in Avena polyploid species containing the C-genome revealed substantial C-genome rRNA sequence elimination. C-genome clones sequenced and Maximum Likelihood Parsimony analysis revealed close proximity to Avena ventricosa ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences, providing strong evidence of the latter's active role in the evolution of tetraploid and hexaploid oats. In addition, cloning and sequencing of the chloroplastic trnL intron among the most representative Avena species verified the maternal origin of A-genome for the AACC interspecific hybrid formation, which was the genetic bridge for the establishment of cultivated hexaploid oats. 相似文献

Differentiation of two ovine Babesia based on the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The first and second internal transcribed spacers (ITS1, ITS2) as well as the intervening 5.8S coding region of the rRNA gene for six Babesia spp. isolated from different geographic origins were characterized. Varying degrees of ITS1 and ITS2 intra- and inter-species sequence polymorphism were found among these isolates. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS1-5.8S gene-ITS2 region clearly separated the isolates into two clusters. One held an unidentified Babesia sp. transmitted by Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum. The second held five other isolates, which were considered to be Babesia motasi. Each Babesia species cluster possessed ITS1 and ITS2 of unique size(s) and species specific nucleotide sequences. The results showed that ITS1, ITS2 and the complete ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region could be used to discriminate these ovine Babesia spp. effectively. 相似文献

Chaenotheca phaeocephala and C. subroscida have been characterized by differences in their morphology and ecology. They are, however, morphologically plastic and sometimes seem to intergrade. It has been suspected that the differences in morphology between these two taxa could possibly be phenotypic and caused by their occurrence in different habitats and/or by the association with different photobionts. To test if there is a genetic difference between the species ITS1–5.8S-ITS2 rDNA sequences of six specimens of the mycobiont of C. phaeocephala and five of C. subroscida were compared. Further the ITS1–5.8S-ITS2 rDNA sequences of the photobiont of one specimens of C. phaeocephala and six of C. subroscida were compared to each other and to other species of Trebouxia. The mycobiont sequences of both C. phaeocephala and C. subroscida were monophyletic, substantially different and the groups had strong supports. They also proved to be associated with different Trebouxia species, C. phaeocephala with T. arboricola and Chaenotheca subroscida with T. jamesii. The morphologically based concepts of C. phaeocephala and C. subroscida thus not merely represent phenotypic variation but also are associated with considerable genetic differences in the extremes of the ITS1–5.8S-ITS2 rDNA region. 相似文献

The PCR amplification and subsequent restriction analysis of the ribosomal region spanning the internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) and the 5.8S rRNA gene is applied to the identification of yeasts belonging to the genus Candida. This methodology has previously been used for the identification of some species of this genus, but in the present work this application has been applied to the identification and characterisation of a greater number of species of the genus Candida, with a special survey of species of clinical and biotechnological interest. Among the species of the genus Candida, the high variability observed, both in the length of the amplified region (ranging between 390 and 900 bp) and in their restriction patterns, allows the unequivocal identification to the species level, with the exception of the group of species that comprises C. membranifaciens, C. conglobata, C. atlantica, C. atmosphaerica, and C. oleophila, that required the sequencing of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene or the 5.8S-ITS region for their proper differentiation. The 5.8S-ITS restriction analysis also failed in the differentiation of species within the pairs C.aaseri/C.butyri,C.fructus/C.musae,C.santamariae var. santamariae / C. beechii and C. zeylanoides / C. krissii. In this case, the high sequence similarities obtained for their 26S D1/D2 domain and the 5.8S-ITS region indicate that each pair of species should be considered as a single species. The main purpose of this work is to generate a database for a high number of yeast species, of both biotechnological and clinical interest, and to facilitate their easy, fast, and reliable identification. The present work improves the database available online at the IATA web page (http://motor.edinfo.es/iata/) with the patterns of 75 species belonging to the genus Candida. 相似文献

Most molecular ecological studies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been based on the rRNA gene sequences. However, information about intraspecific nucleotide variation is still limited in these fungi. In this study, we calculated the inter- and intrasporal nucleotide variation of Diversispora sp. EE1 using 78 cloned sequences from four spores within a ca 4960 bp fragment of the nuclear ribosomal operon spanning the near full length small ribosomal subunit (SSU) rRNA gene, the full internal transcribed spacer (ITS: ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) and ca 2740 bp of the large ribosomal subunit (LSU) rRNA gene. Data for each marker region (SSU, ITS and LSU) originated from the very same spores. Sequence variation resulting from point mutations and small indels was recorded in all regions. Highest sequence variation was observed in the ITS region at both the inter- and intrasporal levels. The ITS1 component was more variable than ITS2, whilst the 5.8S gene was the least variable component of the ITS region. Evolutionary divergence of gene copies between spores was intermediate for the LSU and lowest for the SSU. The SSU and the LSU genes had relatively similar evolutionary divergence per spore. Sequence variant richness was not exhaustive for any of the marker regions, indicating that multiple sequences per spore from multiple spores are needed when characterizing a species. This study provides reference sequences for ecological studies, permitting identification of AMF using any of the ribosomal regions or primer systems. 相似文献

Hoplolaimus columbus is an important nematode pest which causes economic loss of crops including corn, cotton, and soybean in the Southeastern United States. DNA sequences of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of ribosomal DNA from H. columbus were aligned and analyzed to characterize intraspecific genetic variation between eleven populations collected from Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina. In comparative sequence analysis with clones from either one or two individuals obtained from the eleven populations, we found variability existed among clones from an individual and that clonal diversity observed from within individuals was verified by PCR-RFLP. PCR-RFLP analysis with Rsa I and Msp I restriction enzymes yielded several fragments on 3.0% agarose gel that corresponded to different haplotypes in all populations and the sum of digested products exceeded the length of undigested PCR products, which revealed that ITS heterogeneity existed in a genome of H. columbus. This indicates that heterogeneity may play a role in the evolution of this parthenogenetic species. 相似文献

Eukaryotes have two types of ribosomes containing either 5.8SL or 5.8SS rRNA that are produced by alternative pre-rRNA processing. The exact processing pathway for the minor 5.8SL rRNA species is poorly documented. We have previously shown that the trans-acting factor Rrp5p and the RNA exonuclease Rex4p genetically interact to influence the ratio between the two forms of 5.8S rRNA in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we report a further analysis of ITS1 processing in various yeast mutants that reveals genetic interactions between, on the one hand, Rrp5p and RNase MRP, the endonuclease required for 5.8SS rRNA synthesis, and, on the other, Rex4p, the RNase III homolog Rnt1p, and the debranching enzyme Dbr1p. Yeast cells carrying a temperature-sensitive mutation in RNase MRP (rrp2-1) exhibit a pre-rRNA processing phenotype very similar to that of the previously studied rrp5-33 mutant: ITS2 processing precedes ITS1 processing, 5.8SL rRNA becomes the major species, and ITS1 is processed at the recently reported novel site A4 located midway between sites A2 and A3. As in the rrp5-Delta3 mutant, all of these phenotypical processing features disappear upon inactivation of the REX4 gene. Moreover, inactivation of the DBR1 gene in rrp2-1, or the RNT1 gene in rrp5-Delta3 mutant cells also negates the effects of the original mutation on pre-rRNA processing. These data link a total of three RNA catabolic enzymes, Rex4p, Rnt1p, and Dbr1p, to ITS1 processing and the relative production of 5.8SS and 5.8SL rRNA. A possible model for the indirect involvement of the three enzymes in yeast pre-rRNA processing is discussed. 相似文献

The dimorphic yeast Geotrichum candidum (teleomorph: Galactomyces candidus) is commonly used to inoculate washed-rind and bloomy-rind cheeses. However, little is known about the phylogenetic lineage of this microorganism. We have sequenced the complete 18S, 5.8S, 26S ribosomal RNA genes and their internal transcribed spacers (ITS1) and ITS2 regions (5126 nucleotides) from 18 G. candidum strains from various environmental niches, with a focus on dairy strains. Multiple sequence alignments revealed the presence of 60 polymorphic sites, which is generally unusual for ribosomal DNA (rDNA) within a given species because of the concerted evolution mechanism. This mechanism drives genetic homogenization to prevent the divergent evolution of rDNA copies within individuals. While the polymorphisms observed were mainly substitutions, one insertion/deletion (indel) polymorphism was detected in ITS1. No polymorphic sites were detected downstream from this indel site, that is, in 5.8S and ITS2. More surprisingly, many sequence electrophoregrams generated during the sequencing of the rDNA had dual peaks, suggesting that many individuals exhibited intragenomic rDNA variability. The ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 regions of four strains were cloned. The sequence analysis of 68 clones revealed 32 different ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 variants within these four strains. Depending on the strain, from four to twelve variants were detected, indicating that multiple rDNA copies were present in the genomes of these G. candidum strains. These results contribute to the debate concerning the use of the ITS region for barcoding fungi and suggest that community profiling techniques based on rDNA should be used with caution. 相似文献

Sequence analysis of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region in some scallop species (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pectinidae). 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA from the European scallops Aequipecten opercularis, Mimachlamys varia, Hinnites distortus, and Pecten maximus was PCR amplified and sequenced. For each species, three or five clones were examined. The size ranged between 636 and 713 bp (ITS1, 209-276 bp; 5.8S rRNA gene, 157 bp; ITS2, 270-294 bp) and GC content ranged between 47 and 50% (ITS1, 43-49%; 5.8S rRNA gene, 56-57%; ITS2, 44-49%). Variation within repeats was minimal; only clones from M. varia and P. maximus displayed a few variable sites in ITS2. Among scallops, including Chlamys farreri whose ITS sequence appears in databases, significant variation was observed in both ITS1 and ITS2. Phylogenetic analysis using ITS1, ITS2, or both spacer sequences always yielded trees with similar topology. Aequipecten opercularis and P. maximus grouped in one clade and the other three scallops (C. farreri, M. varia, and H. distortus) in another, where M. varia and H. distortus are the more closely related species. These results provide new insights into the evolutionary relationships of scallop species and corroborate the close evolutionary relationship between the tribes Aequipectinini and Pectinini previously deduced from 18S rDNA sequences. 相似文献

奥利亚罗非鱼与尼罗罗非鱼rDNA内转录间隔区序列特征 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
核糖体DNA内转录间隔区(internal transcribed spacers,ITS)是经常被用作种和种群水平系统研究的分子序列.本文分离了奥利亚罗非鱼(Oreochromis aureus)、尼罗罗非鱼(O.niloticus)内转录间隔区,包括部分185序列,ITS1、5.8S、ITS2全序列及部分28S序列.4尾奥利亚罗非鱼的10个克隆序列分析表明,其存在长度不同的a、b两种类型ITS1.a型长为536 bp,GC含量为69.96%;b型长为520 bp,GC含量为69.04%~69.42%.4尾尼罗罗非鱼的10个克隆序列分析表明,其只存在a型ITS1,长为536~540 bp,GC含量为69.42%~70.19%.与b型ITS1相比,a型ITS1在16~31 nt有16 bp片段(GGCCCGCCTCGGCGC)的插入.奥利亚罗非鱼和尼罗罗非鱼共20条ITS序列中,5.8S长度均为157 bp,GC含量为56.69%~57.96%;ITS2为408 bp,GC含量为72.79%~74.26%.奥利亚罗非鱼和尼罗罗非鱼ITS区序列相似性高达98.2%,表明这两种罗非鱼亲缘关系很近.此外,本文对14尾奥利亚罗非鱼、15尾尼罗罗非鱼以及15尾奥尼罗非鱼[O.aureus(♂)×O.niloticus(♀)]ITS1的扩增结果显示,奥利亚罗非鱼均有a、b两种类型ITS1;15尾尼罗罗非鱼中1尾为a、b两类型ITS1,14尾为a型ITS1;15尾奥尼罗非鱼中则有6尾具有a、b两类型ITS1,9尾为单一的a型ITS1.分析表明,奥利亚罗非鱼在ITS1这个位点一致性高,但尼罗罗非鱼中有1尾混杂了奥利亚罗非鱼的基因,同时也说明分子生物学手段应用于种质鉴定比形态学手段更为精确. 相似文献

The Dinophysis genus is an ecologically and evolutionarily important group of marine dinoflagellates, yet their molecular phylogenetic positions and ecological characteristics such as trophic modes remain poorly understood. Here, a population of Dinophysis miles var. indica was sampled from South China Sea in March 2010. Nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) SSU, ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and LSU, mitochondrial genes encoding cytochrome B (cob) and cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (cox1), and plastid rDNA SSU were PCR amplified and sequenced. Phylogenetic analyses based on cob, cox1, and the nuclear rRNA regions showed that D. miles was closely related to D. tripos and D. caudata while distinct from D. acuminata. Along with morphology the LSU and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 molecular data confirmed that this population was D. miles var. indica. Furthermore, the result demonstrated that ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 fragment was the most effective region to distinguish D. miles from other Dinophysis species. Three distinct types of plastid rDNA sequences were detected, belonging to plastids of a cryptophyte, a haptophyte, and a cyanobacterium, respectively. This is the first documentation of three photosynthetic entities associated with a Dinophysis species. While the cyanobacterial sequence likely represented an ectosymbiont of the D. miles cells, the detection of the cryptophyte and haptophyte plastid sequences indicates that the natural assemblage of D. miles likely retain more than one type of plastids from its prey algae for temporary use in photosynthesis. The result, together with recent findings of plastid types in other Dinophysis species, suggests that more systematic research is required to understand the complex nutritional physiology of this genus of dinoflagellates. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence diversity of rDNA internal transcribed spacers extracted from conidia and cleistothecia of several powdery mildew fungi 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
An improved protocol, including DNA extraction with Chelex, two amplifications with a nested primer set, and DNA purification
by electrophoresis, made it possible to analyze nuclear rDNA sequences of powdery mildew fungi using at most several hundred
conidia or 20 cleistothecia. Nucleotide sequence diversity of the nuclear rDNA region containing the two internal transcribed
spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) and 5.8S rRNA gene derived from conidia and cleistothecia was investigated for four kinds of powdery
mildew fungi including two isolates of the same species. The results showed that the nucleotide sequences of the nuclear rDNA
region were highly conserved between the teleomorph and the anamorph. Thus, the nucleotide sequence data obtained from either
developmental stage can be used for phylogenetic studies of powdery mildew fungi. The nucleotide sequences of the 5.8S rRNA
genes of the four species were highly conserved, but those of their ITS regions were variable. This suggests that the nuclear
rDNA region is not suitable for phylogenetic studies of distantly related powdery mildew fungi, because too much sequence
diversity exists, within the ITS, and too little phylogenetic information is contained within the 5.8S rRNA gene. However,
the ITS region will be useful for phylogenetic comparison of closely related species or intraspecies.

English walnut (Juglans regia L.) is the most economically important species from all the 21 species belonging to the genus Juglans and is an important and healthy food as well as base material for timber industry. The aim of this study was to develop a
simple technique for specific characterization of English walnut using DNA method. The first and second internal transcribed
spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) as well as the intervening 5.8S coding region of the rRNA gene for 18 cultivars of J. regia L. isolated from different geographic origins were characterized. The size of the spacers sequences ranged from 257 to 263
bases for ITS1 and from 217 to 219 bases for ITS2. Variation of GC contents has also been observed and scored as 55–56.7 and
57.1–58.9% for ITS1 and ITS2, respectively. This data exhibited the presence of polymorphism among cultivars. Alignment of
the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences from 18 walnut cultivars showed that there were 244 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and
1 short insertion–deletion (indel) at 5′ end ITS1. Amplification refractory mutation system strategy was successfully applied
to the SNP markers of the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences for the fingerprinting analysis of 17 on 18 walnut cultivars. The prediction
of ITS1 and ITS2 RNA secondary structure from each cultivar was improved by detecting key functional elements shared by all
sequences in the alignments. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region clearly separated the isolated sequences into
two clusters. The results showed that ITS1 and ITS2 region could be used to discriminate these walnut cultivars. 相似文献

Ribosomal ITS sequences are commonly used for phylogenetic reconstruction because they are included in rDNA repeats, and these repeats often undergo rapid concerted evolution within and between arrays. Therefore, the rDNA ITS copies appear to be virtually identical and can sometimes be treated as a single gene. In this paper we examined ITS polymorphism within and among 13 diploid (A and C genomes), seven tetraploid (AB, AC and CC genomes) and four hexaploid (ACD genome) to infer the extent and direction of concerted evolution, and to reveal the phylogenetic and genome relationship among species of Avena. A total of 170 clones of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 fragment were sequenced to carry out haplotype and phylogenetic analysis. In addition, 111 Avena ITS sequences retrieved from GenBank were combined with 170 clones to construct a phylogeny and a network. We demonstrate the major divergence between the A and C genomes whereas the distinction among the A and B/D genomes was generally not possible. High affinity among the A(d) genome species A. damascena and the ACD genome species A. fatua was found, whereas the rest of the ACD genome hexaploids and the AACC tetraploids were highly affiliated with the A(l) genome diploid A. longiglumis. One of the AACC species A. murphyi showed the closest relationship with most of the hexaploid species. Both C(v) and C(p) genome species have been proposed as paternal donors of the C-genome carrying polyploids. Incomplete concerted evolution is responsible for the observed differences among different clones of a single Avena individual. The elimination of C-genome rRNA sequences and the resulting evolutionary inference of hexaploid species are discussed. 相似文献
