mRNA differential display RT-PCR has been extensively used for the isolation of genes differentially expressed between RNA populations. We have assessed its utility for the identification of developmentally regulated genes in plasmid cDNA libraries derived from individual tissues dissected from early mouse embryos. Using plasmid Southern blot hybridisation as a secondary screen, we are able to identify such genes and show by whole-mount in situ hybridisation that their expression pattern is that expected from the differential display profile. 相似文献

Global identification of differentially regulated genes in prokaryotes is constrained because the mRNA does not have a 3' polyadenylation extension; this precludes specific separation of mRNA from rRNA and tRNA and synthesis of cDNAs from the entire mRNA population. Knowledge of the entire genome sequence of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 has enabled us to develop a differential display procedure that takes advantage of a short palindromic sequence that is dispersed throughout the Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 genome. This sequence, designated the HIP (highly iterated palindrome) element, occurs in approximately half of the Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 genes but is absent in rRNA and tRNA genes. To determine the feasibility of exploiting the HIP element, alone or in combination with specific primer subsets, for analyzing differential gene expression, we used HIP-based primers to identify light intensity-regulated genes. Several gene fragments, including those encoding ribosomal proteins and phycobiliprotein subunits, were differentially amplified from RNA templates derived from cells grown in low light or exposed to high light for 3 h. One novel finding was that expression of certain genes of the pho regulon, which are under the control of environmental phosphate levels, were markedly elevated in high light. High-light activation of pho regulon genes correlated with elevated growth rates that occur when the cells are transferred from low to high light. These results suggest that in high light, the rate of growth of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 exceeds its capacity to assimilate phosphate, which, in turn, may trigger a phosphate starvation response and activation of the pho regulon. 相似文献

Recently, a novel PCR-based technique, differential display (DD), has facilitated the study of differentially expressed genes at the mRNA level. We report here an improved version of DD, which we call Enhanced Differential Display (EDD). We have modified the technique to enhance reproducibility and to facilitate sequencing and cloning. Using EDD, we have generated and verified a catalog of genes that are differentially expressed between young and senescent human diploid fibroblasts (HDF). From 168 genetags that were identified initially, 84 could be sequenced directly from PCR amplified bands. These sequences represent 27 known genes and 37 novel genes. By Northern blot analysis we have confirmed the differential expression of a total of 23 genes (12 known, 11 novel), while 19 (seven known, 12 novel) did not show differential expression. Several of the known genes were previously observed by others to be differentially expressed between young and senescent fibroblasts, thereby validating the technique. 相似文献

Although liver hepatocytes appear to be uniform histologically, they are considerably heterogeneous with respect to their individual physiological capacities. In order to find still unknown genes that are heterogeneously expressed and with the aim of evaluating the usefulness of the differential display technique for this purpose, we performed differential displays with mRNA isolated from hepatocytes from the periportal and pericentral zone of the rat liver. In this way we identified at least two mRNAs exclusively expressed in the pericentral fraction. Sequence analysis revealed that the corresponding genes encode proteins with proline-glutamate dipeptide repeats similar to ones previously identified in rat pheochromocytoma and brain. In situ hybridization confirmed the heterogeneous distribution of the mRNA. Only one to two cell lines surrounding the terminal hepatic venules were positive, strongly resembling the heterogeneous expression of the enzyme glutamine synthetase. Our work demonstrates that the differential display method is a useful tool for the identification of genes that are differentially expressed in individual parenchymal cells. In fact, our results prove that differential display technology can be used for the identification of cellular markers for distinct subpopulations of cells in a given tissue. 相似文献

Degradation of 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) by the cells of Rhodococcus erythropolis HL PM-1 was studied. The enzymes involved in 2,4-DNP degradation were inducible, and their resynthesis took place during the process. Cell immobilization by embedding into agar gels decreased the degrader activity. Maximum rates of 2,4-DNP degradation by free and immobilized cells were 10.0 and 5.4 nmol/min per mg cells, respectively. The concentration dependence of 2,4-DNP degradation was typical of substrate inhibition kinetics. The immobilized cells were used in a model reactor designed for 2,4-DNP biodegradation. Its maximum capacity was 0.45 nmol/min per mg cells at a volumetric flow rate of 20 h-1. The reactor operated for 14 days without losing capacity; its half-lifetime equaled 16 days. 相似文献

mRNA differential display has been used to identify cyclohexanone oxidation genes in a mixed microbial community derived from a wastewater bioreactor. Thirteen DNA fragments randomly amplified from the total RNA of an enrichment subculture exposed to cyclohexanone corresponded to genes predicted to be involved in the degradation of cyclohexanone. Nine of these DNA fragments are part of genes encoding three distinct Baeyer-Villiger cyclohexanone monooxygenases from three different bacterial species present in the enrichment culture. In Arthrobacter sp. strain BP2 and Rhodococcus sp. strain Phi2, the monooxygenase is part of a gene cluster that includes all the genes required for the degradation of cyclohexanone, while in Rhodococcus sp. strain Phi1 the genes surrounding the monooxygenase are not predicted to be involved in this degradation pathway but rather seem to belong to a biosynthetic pathway. Furthermore, in the case of Arthrobacter strain BP2, three other genes flanking the monooxygenase were identified by differential display, demonstrating that the repeated sampling of bacterial operons shown earlier for a pure culture (D. M. Walters, R. Russ, H. Knackmuss, and P. E. Rouvière, Gene 273:305-315, 2001) is also possible for microbial communities. The activity of the three cyclohexanone monooxygenases was confirmed and characterized following their expression in Escherichia coli. 相似文献

Differential display (DD) is a novel PCR-based technique, very commonly used to study differentially expressed genes at the
mRNA level. In this paper we report a modified version of this technique that we have used to study the differences between
the mRNA population from brain tissue of adult and old rats. We have modified the technique to enhance reproducibility and
reduce false positives and redundancy. It is fast and does not require any expensive or uncommon reagent. We choose to call
it as subtractive differential display as it is a differential display performed over subtracted mRNA population. We have
used this protocol successfully to clone a number of age-related differentially expressed sequences from rat brain that need
to be sequenced to establish the gene identity. 相似文献

Thioacetamide is a hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic compound that affects liver metabolism, inhibits mRNA transport and induces enlargement of the nucleolus. To investigate the effect of thioacetamide at the molecular level, differential display RT-PCR was conducted. Analysis of nineteen differentially expressed genes demonstrated that ten cDNAs have their expression inhibited while the other nine were positively affected by thioacetamide. Two of the cDNAs were homologous to known genes-TAP and ankyrin-binding glycoprotein-1, two corresponded to repetitive sequences and seven were homologous to expressed sequence tags. The differential expression of some of the isolated cDNAs was confirmed by northern hybridization. It is proposed that since the product of TAP is involved in mRNA transport, thioacetamide inhibition of TAP expression might, at least partially, explain the thioacetamide-induced swelling of the nucleolus. 相似文献

Isolation of a set of ripening-related genes from strawberry: their identification and possible relationship to fruit quality traits 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

The ripening of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.), a non-climacteric fruit, is a complex developmental process that involves many changes in gene expression. To understand
how these changes relate to the biochemistry and composition of the fruit the specific genes involved have been examined.
A high-quality cDNA library prepared from ripe strawberry fruit was differentially screened for ripening-related clones using
cDNA from ripe and white fruits. From 112 up-regulated clones obtained in the primary screen, 66 differentially expressed
clones were isolated from the secondary screen. The partial sequences of these cDNAs were compared with database sequences
and 26 families of non-redundant clones were identified. Northern analysis confirmed that all of these cDNAs were ripening-enhanced.
The expression of many of their corresponding genes was negatively regulated in auxin-treated fruit. These sequences, several
of which are novel to fruits, encode proteins involved in key metabolic events including anthocyanin biosynthesis, cell wall
degradation, sucrose and lipid metabolism, protein synthesis and degradation, and respiration. These findings are discussed
in relation to the role of these genes in determining fruit quality characteristics.

In probing the possible non-genotoxic molecular mechanism(s) of nickel(II)-induced carcinogenesis, we performed a non-radioactive mRNA differential display analysis for nickel(II) acetate-treated Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1-BH4). Three out of thirty differentially expressed cDNAs had sequences highly similar to known genes. Down-regulation of vimentin and a hSNF2H homologue and up-regulation of ferritin heavy chain were confirmed by Northern blot analysis. The expression of these mRNAs was time- and nickel(II) concentration-dependent. For vimentin, the decrease in mRNA level was concurrent with a decrease in the protein level. For ferritin, the increase in mRNA had no effect on the protein level. Dysregulation of these gene products signifies their involvement in the epigenetic effects of carcinogenic nickel(II) compounds. 相似文献

Rhodococcus (opacus) erythropolis HL PM-1 grows on 2,4,6-trinitrophenol or 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) as a sole nitrogen source. The NADPH-dependent F(420) reductase (NDFR; encoded by npdG) and the hydride transferase II (HTII; encoded by npdI) of the strain were previously shown to convert both nitrophenols to their respective hydride Meisenheimer complexes. In the present study, npdG and npdI were amplified from six 2,4-DNP degrading Rhodococcus spp. The genes showed sequence similarities of 86 to 99% to the respective npd genes of strain HL PM-1. Heterologous expression of the npdG and npdI genes showed that they were involved in 2,4-DNP degradation. Sequence analyses of both the NDFRs and the HTIIs revealed conserved domains which may be involved in binding of NADPH or F(420). Phylogenetic analyses of the NDFRs showed that they represent a new group in the family of F(420)-dependent NADPH reductases. Phylogenetic analyses of the HTIIs revealed that they form an additional group in the family of F(420)-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases and F(420)-dependent N(5),N(10)-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin reductases. Thus, the NDFRs and the HTIIs may each represent a novel group of F(420)-dependent enzymes involved in catabolism. 相似文献
