The polymorphic exon 2-exon 3 region of bovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from genomic DNA samples with characterized class I polymorphism. The primers for amplification were designed in conserved regions at the borders of exons 2 and 3, based on all available cDNA sequences. The primers should, therefore, amplify most expressed class I genes, but may also amplify non-expressed class I genes. The PCR amplified class I gene fragments of 700 bp were characterized on the basis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The PCR-RFLP analysis of class I genes showed that the bands in each digestion could be classified as non-polymorphic, as shared between several bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA)-A types, or as specific to a single BoLA-A type. The same primers were then used for amplification of class I gene fragments from eight Sahiwal animals, a breed which originated in the Indian subcontinent. These studies showed that BoLA class I PCR-RFLP could be used to study class I polymorphism in family groups.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to enable the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of DNA fragments within endoglucanase gene(s) of Torula thermophila, by using degenerate primers so that the amplified fragment(s) could be used as homologous probe(s) for cloning of full-length endoglucanase gene(s). The design of the degenerate PCR primers was mainly based on the endoglucanase sequences of other fungi. The endoglucanase gene sequence of Humicola insolens was the only sequence from a thermophilic fungus publicly available in the literature. Therefore, the endoglucanase sequences of the two Trichoderma species, Trichoderma reesei and Trichoderma longibrachiatum, were used to generalize the primers. PCR amplification of T. thermophila genomic DNA with these primers resilied in a specific amplification. The specificity of the amplified fragment was shown by Southern hybridization analysis using egl3 gene of T. reesei as probe. This result suggested that the degenerate primers used in this study may be of value for studies aimed at cloning of endoglucanase genes from a range of related fungi.  相似文献

利用高简并性引物,用PCR法从小麦DNA或cDNA中合成小麦几丁质酶基因、葡 聚糖酶基因和苯丙氨酸解氨酶基因片段。在PCR反应中添加四甲基氯化铵(TMACl)是合成这些特异基因片段的关键。合成的PCR片段都经末端补齐和磷酸化后用于克隆。核酸序列分析证实,这些PCR产物分别与用于设计PCR引物的基因具有高度的同源性。 Abstract:In the presence of tetramethy1 ammonium chloride(TMAC1),a chitinase gene sequence,a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene sequence and a glucanase cDNA sequence of wheat were amplified with highly degenerate primers by PCR.The inclusion of TMAC1 in the PCR reactions was essential for successful amplification of the desired sequences from genomic DNA or cDNA in wheat.The ends of the PCR fragments were made flush and phosphorylated prior to cloning.Sequence analyses of the above PCR fragments confirmed their identities,showing high sequence similarities to the genes used for the design of PCR primers.  相似文献

Based on the complete Sinorhizobium meliloti genome sequence we established DNA microarrays as a comprehensive tool for systematic genome-wide gene expression analysis in S. meliloti 1021. For these PCR fragment-based microarrays, called Sm6kPCR, a collection of probes for the 6207 predicted protein-coding genes consisting of 6046 gene-specific PCR fragments and 161 70 mer oligonucleotides was arrayed in high density on glass slides. To obtain these PCR fragments primer pairs were designed to amplify internal gene-specific DNA fragments of 80-350 bp. Additionally, these primers were characterized by a 5' extension that allowed for reamplification using standard primers after the first amplification employing the specific primers. In order to ascertain the quality of the Sm6kPCR microarrays and to validate gene expression studies in S. meliloti parallel hybridizations based on RNA samples obtained from cells cultured under identical conditions were performed. In addition, gene expression in S. meliloti in response to an osmotic upshift imposed by the addition of 0.38 M NaCl was monitored. 137 genes were identified showing significant changes in gene expression resulting from the osmotic upshift. From these genes 52 were induced and 85 genes were repressed. Among the genes displaying different RNA levels some functional groups could be identified that are particularly remarkable. Repression was observed for 8 genes related to motility and chemotaxis, 7 genes encoding amino acid biosynthesis enzymes and 15 genes involved in iron uptake whereas 14 genes involved in transport of small molecules and 4 genes related to polysaccharide biosynthesis were induced.  相似文献

Analysis of fungal polyketide synthase gene sequences suggested that these might be divided into two subclasses, designated WA-type and MSAS-type. Two pairs of degenerate PCR primers (LC1 and LC2c, LC3 and LC5c) were designed for the amplification of ketosynthase domain fragments from fungal PKS genes in each of these subclasses. Both primer pairs were shown to amplify one or more PCR products from the genomes of a range of ascomycetous Deuteromycetes and Southern blot analysis confirmed that the products obtained with each pair of primers emanated from distinct genomic loci. PCR products obtained from Penicillium patulum and Aspergillus parasiticus with the LC1/2c primer pair and from Phoma sp. C2932 with both primer pairs were cloned and sequenced; the deduced protein sequences were highly homologous to the ketosynthase domains of other fungal PKS genes. Genes from which LC1/2c fragments were amplified (WA-type) were shown by a phylogenetic analysis to be closely related to fungal PKS genes involved in pigment and aflatoxin biosynthetic pathways, whereas the gene from which the LC3/5c fragment was amplified (MSAS-type) was shown to be closely related to genes encoding 6-methylsalicylic acid synthase (MSAS). The phylogenetic tree strongly supported the division of fungal PKS genes into two subclasses. The LC-series primers may be useful molecular tools to facilitate the cloning of novel fungal polyketide synthase genes.  相似文献

The use of the polymerase chain reaction was proposed for intron excision from genomic genes with known nucleotide sequences. Three exons (5, 6 and 7) of genomic interleukin 1 beta gene were amplified by means of thermostable DNA polymerase TthI from Thermus thermophilus on the base of cloned in M13 phage human genomic interleukin 1 beta gene. Synthetic oligonucleotides complementary to sequences flanking exons were used as primers. The fragments obtained by exon DNA amplification were joined in the correct order due to reciprocal complementation of end sequences, that was foreseen during synthesis of oligonucleotide primers followed by amplification of the enlarged fragments. As a result the structural interleukin-1 beta gene consisting of three exons was assembled. DNA sequences carrying the ATG initiation codon and XbaI recognition site at the 5'-end, and PstI recognition site at the 3'-end (essential for insertion into the expression vector) were formed by the additional end sequences of primers. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the obtained structural gene revealed its complete identity with natural interleukin 1 beta human gene. We created the expression vector pPR114 with phage lambda promoter PR thermo-inducible in case of the cIts857 repressor presence in cells. It was used for expression of the present gene. The interleukin 1 beta synthesized in E. coli had biological activity.  相似文献

The feasibility of using bulk segregant analysis to identify molecular markers for disease resistance genes in oats was investigated, utilizing random primers in conjunction with polymerase chain reaction technology. Random primers were screened for the amplification of polymorphic DNA fragments on two pools of genomic DNA isolated from plants that were homozygous for the presence and absence of the crown rust resistance gene Pc68. Ten primers were identified that amplified polymorphic DNA fragments. Of these, one was tightly linked, in repulsion, to the target gene, while the other nine were not linked to this trait. The relatively low cost of polymerase chain reaction technology, coupled with rapid leaf disc genomic DNA extraction techniques should result in the effective use of this linked marker in oat breeding selection programs.  相似文献

Comparative genomic sequencing is shedding new light on bacterial identification, taxonomy and phylogeny. An in silico assessment of a core gene set necessary for cellular functioning was made to determine a consensus set of genes that would be useful for the identification, taxonomy and phylogeny of the species belonging to the subclass Actinobacteridae which contained two orders Actinomycetales and Bifidobacteriales. The subclass Actinobacteridae comprised about 85% of the actinobacteria families. The following recommended criteria were used to establish a comprehensive gene set; the gene should (i) be long enough to contain phylogenetically useful information, (ii) not be subject to horizontal gene transfer, (iii) be a single copy (iv) have at least two regions sufficiently conserved that allow the design of amplification and sequencing primers and (v) predict whole-genome relationships. We applied these constraints to 50 different Actinobacteridae genomes and made 1,224 pairwise comparisons of the genome conserved regions and gene fragments obtained by using Sequence VARiability Analysis Program (SVARAP), which allow designing the primers. Following a comparative statistical modeling phase, 3 gene fragments were selected, ychF, rpoB, and secY with R2>0.85. Selected sets of broad range primers were tested from the 3 gene fragments and were demonstrated to be useful for amplification and sequencing of 25 species belonging to 9 genera of Actinobacteridae. The intraspecies similarities were 96.3-100% for ychF, 97.8-100% for rpoB and 96.9-100% for secY among 73 strains belonging to 15 species of the subclass Actinobacteridae compare to 99.4-100% for 16S rRNA. The phylogenetic topology obtained from the combined datasets ychF+rpoB+secY was globally similar to that inferred from the 16S rRNA but with higher confidence. It was concluded that multi-locus sequence analysis using core gene set might represent the first consensus and valid approach for investigating the bacterial identification, phylogeny and taxonomy.  相似文献

Using a combination of degenerate primers designed from the NBS domains of the resistance genes, amplification and subsequent cloning of the resistance gene fragments from sunflower (Helianthus agrophyllus) was conducted. Sequences of cloned PCR products differed from one another and displayed homology to NBS domain fragments of the already known plant resistance genes, as well as to the analogous genes from different classes. The highest homology was shown to the NBS domain regions of cultivated sunflower and the other members of the family Compositae. Two cloned fragments had open reading frames, while the other sequences carried stop codons and seemed to belong to pseudogenes. Amino acid sequences of Helianthus agrophyllus analyzed contained conservative regions typical of NBS domains of the resistance gene products.  相似文献

Objective: Reduction of non-specific amplification and achievement of efficient amplification of multiple gene fragments under the same reaction condition is the basic goal of PCR diagnosis; however, this is often difficult. This study was conducted to establish a highly specific and effective amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene's exons, 18–21, simultaneously. Methods: The 5′-tailed primers were synthesized by adding 10 to 20 bp of a non-specific sequence to the 5′-terminus of sequence-specific primers (tailless primers). The two-stage protocol consisted of 5–10 cycles of a conventional 3-step cycling, which was then followed by 30–35 cycles of two-step cycling. The exons 18–21 of EGFR gene were amplified in 28 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients using an optimized PCR that combined 5′ tailed primers with a two-stage protocol. Results: The 5′ tailed primers exhibited a wider range of suitable annealing temperatures, similar range of primer concentration, similar sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, as well as a reduced, non-specific amplification compared with the corresponding tailless primers. The amplification of exons 18–21 of EGFR gene in NSCLC patients revealed that a combination of 5′ tailed primers with two-stage protocol (optimized PCR) had a similar PCR success rate (P = 0.873) but had significantly reduced non-specific amplification (P <0.001) compared to conventional PCR. Conclusion: 5′ tailed primers exhibited a wider range of suitable annealing temperatures and improved specificity compared with conventional PCR primers. An optimized PCR was established with 5′ tailed primers and a two-stage protocol to amplify exons 18–21 of the EGFR gene in NSCLC patients.  相似文献

The gene arrangement, existence of introns and the number of gene copies of genes (fcps) encoding fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins (Fcps) of the centric diatom Cyclotella cryptica were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Southern blotting and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) experiments. PCR-mediated amplification of the fcp genes using chromosomal DNA as template demonstrated the absence of introns within the amplified regions. Clustering of genes could not be demonstrated in these experiments. Digestion of chromosomal DNA of Cy. cryptica followed by Southern blotting and hybridization with specific fcp probes revealed minimum and maximum values of 12 and 20, respectively, for the gene copies. In addition, the DGGE technique confirmed and strengthened the results obtained from Southern blotting experiments as amplification of gene fragments from genomic DNA with different sets of specific primers revealed values of 21 and 23, for the minimum and maximum gene copy number, respectively.  相似文献

A method which employs the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify Escherichia coli strains containing the estA gene was developed. This gene codes for heat-stable enterotoxin type I. The use of an inosine-containing pair of amplification primers allowed the amplification of a specific 175-bp DNA fragment from several different estA alleles. The amplified fragments were identified and distinguished by allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization and characterized by restriction endonuclease analysis. An extension of the classical two-primer PCR proved to be a very simple and rapid method to identify and characterize the estA alleles. Besides the inosine-containing pair of primers, which recognized all described alleles, additional oligonucleotides were used as primers. The sequence of each of these primers was allele specific, and each was amplification compatible with one of the inosine-containing primers. Thus, in one PCR the 175-bp fragment typical for all estA alleles and an allele-specific fragment of different size were produced. These fragments could be separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and were recognized by ethidium bromide staining. Twenty-seven E. coli strains were tested with this amplification system. The presence or lack of the genetic information for production of heat-stable enterotoxin type I was perfectly consistent with the ability of these strains to produce this enterotoxin, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.  相似文献

PCR amplification on a microarray of gel-immobilized primers (microchip) has been developed. One of a pair of PCR primers was immobilized inside a separate microchip polyacrylamide porous gel pad of 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.02 (or 0.04) micron in size and 0.2 (or 0.4) nL in volume. The amplification was carried out simultaneously both in solution covering the microchip array and inside gel pads. Each gel pad contained the immobilized forward primers, while the fluorescently labeled reverse primers, as well as all components of the amplification reaction, diffused into the gel pads from the solution. To increase the amplification efficiency, the forward primers were also added into the solution. The kinetics of amplification was measured in real time in parallel for all gel pads with a fluorescent microscope equipped with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The accuracy of the amplification was assessed by using the melting curves obtained for the duplexes formed by the labeled amplification product and the gel-immobilized primers during the amplification process; alternatively, the duplexes were produced by hybridization of the extended immobilized primers with labeled oligonucleotide probes. The on-chip amplification was applied to detect the anthrax toxin genes and the plasmid-borne beta-lactamase gene responsible for bacterial ampicillin resistance. The allele-specific type of PCR amplification was used to identify the Shiga toxin gene and discriminate it from the Shiga-like one. The genomic mutations responsible for rifampicin resistance of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains were detected by the same type of PCR amplification of the rpoB gene fragment isolated from sputum of tuberculosis patients. The on-chip PCR amplification has been shown to be a rapid, inexpensive and powerful tool to test genes responsible for bacterial toxin production and drug resistance, as well as to reveal point nucleotide mutations.  相似文献

A complex gene superfamily encodes actin in petunia.   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7       下载免费PDF全文
We have shown by several independent criteria that actin is encoded by a very large and complex superfamily of genes in Petunia. Several cDNA and genomic probes encoding actins from diverse organisms (Dictyostelium, Drosophila, chicken and soybean) hybridize to hundreds of restriction fragments in the petunia genome. Actin-hybridizing sequences were isolated from a petunia genomic library at a rate of at least 200 per genome equivalent. Twenty randomly selected actin-hybridizing clones were characterized in more detail. DNA sequence data from four representative and highly divergent clones, PAc2, PAc3, PAc4 and PAc7, demonstrate that these actin-like sequences are related to functional actin genes. Intron positions typical of other known plant actin genes are conserved in these clones. Four of six clones analyzed (PAc1, PAc2, PAc3, PAc4) hybridize to leaf mRNA of the same size (1.7 kb) as that reported for other plant actin mRNAs and to a slightly smaller mRNA species (1.5 kb). Five distinct subfamilies of actin-related genes were characterized which varied in size from a few members to several dozen members. It is clear from our data that other actin gene subfamilies must also exist within the genome. Possible mechanisms of actin gene amplification and genome turnover are discussed.  相似文献

建立了一种基于DNA适配器连接介导的等位基因特异性扩增法测定多重SNP。以CYP2D6基因中的5个SNP位点(100C>T,1661G>C,1758G>T,2470T>C和2850C>T)为例,用PCR法预扩增得一段含所有待测SNP位点的长片段,然后用限制性内切酶将其消化成短片段,在连接酶的作用下与设计的DNA适配器(adapter)相连;该适配器的一端与限制性内切酶降解后留下的粘性末端相同,另一端带有一段公共序列。在两管中加入与适配器连接的片段作为PCR扩增模板,并分别加入SNP特异性引物和一种适配器特异性的通用引物进行PCR扩增,最后用凝胶电泳法分离PCR扩增产物。由于每管与SNP的两种特异性引物中的一种对应,可以根据每管中扩增片段的大小判断SNP的类型。通过凝胶电泳法可以一次分离与5种SNP类型相对应的引物特异性延伸反应产物;采用该法成功测定了20名健康中国人的CYP2D6基因中5个SNP位点的基因多态性,与限制性片段长度多态性法(RFLP)测定结果完全一致。该方法采用n+1种引物(n种SNP特异性引物和一种通用引物)进行n重PCR反应,极大提高了PCR反应的特异性,结果准确,可用于同时测定多个SNP位点。

Actin Genes in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Ceratitis Capitata   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
We have undertaken the study of actin gene organization and expression in the genome of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata. Actin genes have been extensively characterized previously in a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, and they have valuable properties for comparative studies. These genes are typically highly conserved in coding regions, represented in multiple copies per genome and regulated in expression during development. We have isolated a gene in the medfly using the cloned Drosophila melanogaster 5C actin gene as a probe. This medfly gene detects abundant messages present during late larval and late pupal development as well as in thoracic and leg tissue preparations from newly emerged adults. This pattern of expression is consistent with what has been seen for actin genes in other organisms. Using either the D. melanogaster 5C actin gene or the medfly gene as a probe identifies five common cross reacting EcoRI fragments in genomic DNA, but only under less than fully stringent hybridization conditions.  相似文献
