SV40 PolyA(猴空泡病毒PolyA,简称PolyA)序列是有转录终止作用和使转录的mRNA添加PolyA尾的DNA序列(240 bp),含有AATAAA六核苷酸多腺苷化信号(Polyadenylation signal)。在pEGFP-C1质粒的GFP基因下游插入14个同向串联的Alu序列(Alu14),构建pAlu14质粒,瞬时转染HeLa细胞,用Northern blot检测和荧光显微镜观察GFP RNA和GFP蛋白表达,发现Alu串联序列强烈抑制GFP基因表达,该序列没有转录终止作用产生高分子量GFP融合RNA。又在pAlu14质粒GFP基因和Alu串联序列之间按正、反方向插入PolyA序列及去除AATAAA信号的PolyA序列,插入的这些PolyA序列均能部分解除Alu14对GFP基因的抑制作用;去除AATAAA信号的PolyA正、反序列仍然引起转录终止。将PolyA反序(PolyAas)分为4段每段60 bp,中间的2段分别称为2F2R和3F3R,将2F2R或3F3R插在pAlu14质粒的Alu串联序列的上游,随着插入2F2R片段拷贝数的增加转录的GFP融合RNA的分子量增加;2F2R的下游如果依然是2F2R那么2F2R可以支持转录延伸,如果2F2R下游是Alu串联序列则2F2R导致转录终止。无论插入一个3F3R或插入64个3F3R,均产生低分子量GFP RNA。 相似文献

Alu元件(约280bp)是人类基因组中的重要重复序列,串联Alu呈长度依赖性下调GFP报告基因表达,在Alu串联序列上游正向或反向插入SV40PolyA(简称PolyA,240bp),解除Alu串联序列对GFP基因的抑制作用.PCR法扩增PolyA反序(PolyAas)不同位置的60bp片段,插入pAlu14质粒(14个Alu正向串联插入pEGFP-C1)的GFP基因和Alu14之间,瞬时转染HeLa细胞,通过荧光显微镜观察和Northern检测,1F1R(PolyAas5′端第1个60bp片段)和4F4R(自PolyAas5′端计算第4个60bp片段)不能活化基因;2F2R和3F3R(PolyAas中间的2段)可以解除Alu14对GFP基因的抑制作用.将2F2R和3F3R各自反复首尾串联,分别插入pAlu14质粒GFP基因和Alu串联序列之间,瞬时转染HeLa细胞,用插入4个2F2R的pAlu28,插入4个3F3R的pAlu18,插入4个3F3R的pAlu28作长度对照,以排除由于插入片段长度增加可能对结果造成的干扰,发现2~4个拷贝的2F2R和3F3R活化基因作用高于一个拷贝的同样片段,但是多于8拷贝以后,活化GFP基因作用减弱.本实验证明,SV40 PolyAas至少含有两段活化基因序列,活化基因序列(2F2R,3F3R)的最适活化基因条件需要合适的拷贝数. 相似文献

研究室的前期工作发现,Alu串连序列插入pEGFP-C1质粒的GFP基因下游,瞬时转染HeLa细胞抑制GFP基因表达,2F2R(来自SV40PolyA反序5′端的第2个60 bp)插入GFP和Alu串连序列之间可以解除Alu序列对GFP基因的抑制作用。文章通过删减2F2R发现,45R(2F2R 5′端的45 bp)、30R和22R可以活化基因,且二串连体活化基因作用高于单体。Secloop(2F2R近中部的22 bp)和Poly4(2F2R 3′端的30 bp)不能活化基因。30R与Poly4用9碱基连接形成30R-Poly4,其活化基因作用低于2F2R,两个22R之间连接碱基数对活化GFP基因作用没有明显的影响。22R(5′-GTGAAAAAAATGCTTTATTTGT-3′)含有不完整的回文序列,可以形成不完整的茎环结构,包括一个3碱基loop、3 bp第一茎、2碱基泡和3 bp第二茎。改变22R茎环结构的碱基突变明显影响其活化GFP基因的作用,过多互补和过少互补的茎环结构均不利于活化基因,提示适当的不完整茎环结构与活化基因有关。 相似文献

Experimental techniques for the identification of genes associated with diseases are expensive and have certain limitations. In this scenario, computational methods are useful tools to identify lists of promising genes for further experimental verification. This paper describes a flexible methodology for the in silico prediction of genes associated with diseases combining the use of available tools for gene enrichment analysis, gene network generation and gene prioritization. A set of reference genes, with a known association to a disease, is used as bait to extract candidate genes from molecular interaction networks and enriched pathways. In a second step, prioritization methods are applied to evaluate the similarities between previously selected candidates and the set of reference genes. The top genes obtained by these programs are grouped into a single list sorted by the number of methods that have selected each gene. As a proof of concept, top genes reported a few years ago in SzGene and AlzGene databases were used as references to predict genes associated to schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, respectively. In both cases, we were able to predict a statistically significant amount of genes belonging to the updated lists. 相似文献

To obtain predictive genes with lower redundancy and better interpretability, a hybrid gene selection method encoding prior information is proposed in this paper. To begin with, the prior information referred to as gene-to-class sensitivity (GCS) of all genes from microarray data is exploited by a single hidden layered feedforward neural network (SLFN). Then, to select more representative and lower redundant genes, all genes are grouped into some clusters by K-means method, and some low sensitive genes are filtered out according to their GCS values. Finally, a modified binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) encoding the GCS information is proposed to perform further gene selection from the remainder genes. For considering the GCS information, the proposed method selects those genes highly correlated to sample classes. Thus, the low redundant gene subsets obtained by the proposed method also contribute to improve classification accuracy on microarray data. The experiments results on some open microarray data verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach. 相似文献

A robust neural networks approach for spatial and intensity-dependent normalization of cDNA microarray data 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
MOTIVATION: Microarray experiments are affected by numerous sources of non-biological variation that contribute systematic bias to the resulting data. In a dual-label (two-color) cDNA or long-oligonucleotide microarray, these systematic biases are often manifested as an imbalance of measured fluorescent intensities corresponding to Sample A versus those corresponding to Sample B. Systematic biases also affect between-slide comparisons. Making effective corrections for these systematic biases is a requisite for detecting the underlying biological variation between samples. Effective data normalization is therefore an essential step in the confident identification of biologically relevant differences in gene expression profiles. Several normalization methods for the correction of systemic bias have been described. While many of these methods have addressed intensity-dependent bias, few have addressed both intensity-dependent and spatiality-dependent bias. RESULTS: We present a neural network-based normalization method for correcting the intensity- and spatiality-dependent bias in cDNA microarray datasets. In this normalization method, the dependence of the log-intensity ratio (M) on the average log-intensity (A) as well as on the spatial coordinates (X,Y) of spots is approximated with a feed-forward neural network function. Resistance to outliers is provided by assigning weights to each spot based on how distant their M values is from the median over the spots whose A values are similar, as well as by using pseudospatial coordinates instead of spot row and column indices. A comparison of the robust neural network method with other published methods demonstrates its potential in reducing both intensity-dependent bias and spatial-dependent bias, which translates to more reliable identification of truly regulated genes. 相似文献

Salinity is one of the most common abiotic stresses in agriculture production. Salt tolerance of rice (Oryza sativa) is an important trait controlled by various genes. The mechanism of rice salt tolerance, currently with limited understanding, is of great interest to molecular breeding in improving grain yield. In this study, a gene regulatory network of rice salt tolerance is constructed using a systems biology approach with a number of novel computational methods. We developed an improved volcano plot method in conjunction with a new machine-learning method for gene selection based on gene expression data and applied the method to choose genes related to salt tolerance in rice. The results were then assessed by quantitative trait loci (QTL), co-expression and regulatory binding motif analysis. The selected genes were constructed into a number of network modules based on predicted protein interactions including modules of phosphorylation activity, ubiquity activity, and several proteinase activities such as peroxidase, aspartic proteinase, glucosyltransferase, and flavonol synthase. All of these discovered modules are related to the salt tolerance mechanism of signal transduction, ion pump, abscisic acid mediation, reactive oxygen species scavenging and ion sequestration. We also predicted the three-dimensional structures of some crucial proteins related to the salt tolerance QTL for understanding the roles of these proteins in the network. Our computational study sheds some new light on the mechanism of salt tolerance and provides a systems biology pipeline for studying plant traits in general. 相似文献

During folliculogenesis, oocytes accumulate maternal mRNAs in preparation for the first steps of early embryogenesis. The processing of oocyte mRNAs is ensured by heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) genes that encode RNA binding proteins implied in mRNA biogenesis, translation, alternative splicing, nuclear exportation, and degradation. In the present work, by combining phylogenetic analyses and, when available, in silico expression data, we have identified three new oocyte-expressed genes encoding RNA binding proteins by using two strategies. Firstly, we have identified mouse orthologs of the Car1 gene, known to be involved in regulation of germ cell apoptosis in C. elegans, and of the Squid gene, required for the establishment of anteroposterior polarity in the Drosophila oocyte. Secondly, we have identified, among genes whose ESTs are highly represented in oocyte libraries, a paralog of Poly(A) binding protein--Interacting Protein 2 (Paip2) gene, known to inhibit the interaction of the Poly(A)-Binding Protein with Poly(A) tails of mRNAs. For all of these genes, the expression in oocyte was verified by in situ hybridization. Overall, this work underlines the efficiency of in silico methodologies to identify new genes involved in biological processes such as oogenesis. 相似文献
