Suppression Subtractive Hybridization Identified Differentially Expressed Genes in Pistil Mutations in Wheat

To understand the molecular mechanism of the three pistils mutation in wheat, two forward subtractive cDNA libraries from two pairs of near-isogenic wheat lines, Chuanmai 28 three pistils (CMTP) and Chinese Spring three pistils (CSTP), were constructed using SSH. A total of 68 clones in CMTP lines and 197 clones in CSTP lines were identified as potentially over-expressed clones. Thirty-two out of 68 clones in CMTP lines belonged to unknown proteins; while, the remaining 30 clones shared homology to diverse classes of genes involved in protein modulation and protein synthesis, signal transduction, and ion transporters. Approximately 67% of genes in CSTP lines were either unclassified or had no matches (“no hits”) in the database and about 33% of identified genes encoded polypeptides with known functions. Sequence comparisons of cDNA clones between the two forward cDNA libraries revealed that four genes, encoding thioredoxin H, ubiquitin protein ligases, MCM2, and ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase complex 14 kDa proteins, were over-expressed in both libraries. These genes would likely play an important role in determining the three pistils trait in the mutant wheat line.

Identification of Genes Preferentially Expressed in Goat Hair Follicle Anagen-Catagen Transition Using Suppression Subtractive Hybridization

Suppressive subtraction hybridization (SSH) was used to identify differentially expressed genes in goat (Capra hircus) hair follicle anagen-catagen transition. The cDNA fragments, derived from SSH positive subtractive library (tester: anagen-catagen transition, driver: later anagen), were cloned into pEGM-T vector. Two hundred cDNA fragments screened from this library were subjected to identify forty-five unregulated isolates. Sequence analysis revealed that these fragments represented twenty-three genes. Blasting analysis with database in GenBank showed that twenty genes were previously clearly annotated, two were homologous to un-annotated expressed sequence tag (ESTs), and one might be novel. To identify characters of gene expression, seven genes in later anagen and anagen-catagen transition skin tissues were chosen for quantitative real-time PCR. Results indicated that expression of these seven genes varied much, reaching threefold among them, furthering indicating that expression of those genes was up-regulation in the anagen-catagen transition. We characterized expression levels of this potential novel gene and the goat ectodysplasin A during differential stages of hair cycle. These profiles suggested that these two genes might play a role in the goat secondary hair follicle cycle.     

Prokaryotic Suppression Subtractive Hybridization PCR cDNA Subtraction, a Targeted Method To Identify Differentially Expressed Genes

Molecular biology tools can be used to monitor and optimize biological treatment systems, but the application of nucleic acid-based tools has been hindered by the lack of available sequences for environmentally relevant biodegradation genes. The objective of our work was to extend an existing molecular method for eukaryotes to prokaryotes, allowing us to rapidly identify differentially expressed genes for subsequent sequencing. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) PCR cDNA subtraction is a technique that can be used to identify genes that are expressed under specific conditions (e.g., growth on a given pollutant). While excellent methods for eukaryotic SSH PCR cDNA subtraction are available, to our knowledge, no methods previously existed for prokaryotes. This work describes our methodology for prokaryotic SSH PCR cDNA subtraction, which we validated using a model system: Pseudomonas putida mt-2 degrading toluene. cDNA from P. putida mt-2 grown on toluene (model pollutant) or acetate (control substrate) was subjected to our prokaryotic SSH PCR cDNA subtraction protocol to generate subtraction clone libraries. Over 90% of the sequenced clones contained gene fragments encoding toluene-related enzymes, and 20 distinct toluene-related genes from three key operons were sequenced. Based on these results, prokaryotic SSH PCR cDNA subtraction shows promise as a targeted method for gene identification.

Talgu Genlc Male Sterile Wheat （TGMSW; Trltlcum aestlvum L.）, a dominant genic male sterile germplasm, is of considerable value in the genetic Improvement of wheat because of Its stable Inherence, complete male abortion, and high cross-fertilization rate. To Identify specially transcribed genes In sterile anther, a suppression subtractlve hybridization （aSH） library was constructed with sterile anther as the tester and fertile anther as the driver. A total of 2 304 SSH Inserts amplified by polymerase chain reaction were arrayed using robotic printing. The cDNA arrays were hybridized with 32P-labeled probes prepared from the RNA of forward- and reverse-subtracted anthers. Ninety-six clones were scored as upregulated in sterile anthers compared with the corresponding fertile anthers and some clones were selected for sequencing and analysis In GenBank. Based on their putative functions, 87 non-redundant clones were classified Into the following groups： （i） eight genes Involved In metabolic processes; （11） four material transportation genes; （iii） three signal transductlon-assoclated genes; （iv） four stress response and senescence-associated protein genes; （v） seven other functional protein genes; （vi） five genes with no known function; and （vii） another 56 genes with no match to the databases. To test the hybridization efficiency, eight genes were selected and analyzed by Northern blot. The results of the present study provide a comprehensive overview of the genes and gene products Involved In anther abortion In TGMSW.

Identification by Suppression Subtractive Hybridization of Frankia Genes Induced under Nitrogen-Fixing Conditions

Frankia is an actinobacterium that fixes nitrogen under both symbiotic and free-living conditions. We identified genes upregulated in free-living nitrogen-fixing cells by using suppression subtractive hybridization. They included genes with predicted functions related to nitrogen fixation, as well as with unknown function. Their upregulation was a novel finding in Frankia.Frankia is a Gram-positive actinobacterium that establishes symbiosis with several angiosperms termed actinorhizal plants and forms nitrogen-fixing nodules on their roots (20). Frankia also fixes nitrogen in free-living culture under nitrogen-free conditions (19). Induction of the nitrogen-fixing ability is accompanied by differentiation of vesicles (19). Vesicles are spherical cells specialized to nitrogen fixation and are surrounded by multilayered lipid envelopes by which nitrogenase is protected from oxygen (3). Frankia plays an important role in the global nitrogen cycle, yet little is known about the genes involved in the induction of nitrogen-fixing activity. Recently, three Frankia genome sequences were determined (15), which facilitates the genetic dissection of Frankia biology. In this study, we identified Frankia genes induced in nitrogen-fixing cells under free-living conditions by using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) (4).
