Chromosomal localization of a cytochrome b5 gene to human chromosome 18 and a cytochrome b5 pseudogene to the X chromosome.

We have isolated cDNA clones that code for human cytochrome b5. Owing to the high degree of evolutionary conservation of cytochrome b5 sequences and the existence of human and rodent cytochrome b5 processed pseudogenes, we were unable to map unambiguously the chromosomal localization of the human gene(s) by Southern blot hybridization of DNA from human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. An alternative approach, based on restriction enzyme digestion of PCR-amplified DNA, enabled us to map the human cytochrome b5 gene(s) to chromosome 18 and one of its processed pseudogenes to the X chromosome. We propose the designations CYB5 and CYB5P1 for the gene and pseudogene loci, respectively.

ULTRASTRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF EGGSHELLS SUPPORTS THE IDEA THAT DINOSAUR EGGS WERE INCUBATED BURIED IN A SUBSTRATE

Abstract:  The reproductive biology of dinosaurs is of great interest, particularly in light of the many fossil eggs assigned to this group. The ultrastructural characteristics of dinosaur eggshells are examined in order to calculate water vapour conductance, which indicates the nesting environment. Data were mainly derived from the literature but new values are also presented. Allometric analyses were carried out on a variety of shell parameters against predicted egg mass, and comparison was made with allometric equations for bird eggs. Shell thickness was generally larger than seen for extant birds. Total pore number and pores per unit area were similar to values predicted from bird eggs. Total pore area showed an isometric increase with egg mass, parallel to the relationship for birds, but the constant value was an order to magnitude higher than the bird values. Pore radius was unaffected by egg mass. Water vapour conductance showed an allometric increase with egg mass, parallel to the bird values, but for any given egg mass values for dinosaurs were an order of magnitude higher. Mass-specific water vapour conductance was unaffected by egg mass but was an order of magnitude higher than the bird values. Water vapour conductance per pore showed an allometric decrease with egg mass but again the predicted values were an order of magnitude higher than for bird eggs. The ultrastructural characteristics of dinosaur eggshells indicate that the nesting environment had to be saturated with water vapour and that dinosaur eggs had to be fully buried in a substrate. In this sense, therefore, dinosaur eggs resemble more those of modern reptiles than those of birds. As a consequence, maintenance of incubation conditions would have depended on the prevailing environment.

Gene structure of a major form of phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 in rat liver

The gene structure of cytochrome P-450b, a major form of phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 in rat livers was elucidated by sequence analysis of the cloned genomic DNAs and was compared with the previously determined gene structures of cytochrome P-450e, a minor form of phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 and two forms of 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible cytochrome P-450 (P-450c and -d). The gene for cytochrome P-450b is 23 kilobase pairs (kb) long and is separated into 9 exons by 8 intervening sequences. This gene structure is very similar to that of cytochrome P-450e except for the first intron, the first intron being much longer in cytochrome P-450b gene (approximately 12 kb) than in cytochrome P-450e gene (3.2 kb), but differs greatly from the gene structures of two 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible cytochrome P-450s as pointed out previously (Sogawa, K., Gotoh, O., Kawajiri, K. & Fujii-Kuriyama, Y. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 5066-5070). The nucleotide sequences in all 9 exons and their flanking regions in introns show very close homology between the two phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 genes. Forty base substitutions are found in approximately 1900 nucleotides of all exonic sequences, and 15 of them result in 14 amino acid replacements. These base substitutions occur in relatively limited regions of the gene sequences. Most of them are found in exons 6, 7, 8, and 9, most frequently in exon 7 as described previously (Mizukami, Y., Sogawa, K., Suwa, Y., Muramatsu, M. & Fujii-Kuriyama, Y. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 80, 3958-3962). The close sequence homology between the two phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 genes is also found to extend to the promoter region with one notable exception. The simple repeated sequences of (CA)n which is present at -254 position in cytochrome P-450e gene is also observed at the equivalent position in cytochrome P-450b gene, but the repetitiveness is greatly reduced in cytochrome P-450b gene ((CA)5 for P-450b versus (CA)19 for P-450e), and this may somehow be related to the difference in the level of cytochrome P-450b and P-450e in the inductive phase of phenobarbital administration.     

A mutation in yeast mitochondrial DNA results in a precise excision of the terminal intron of the cytochrome b gene

The yeast nuclear gene CBP2 was previously proposed to code for a protein necessary for processing of the terminal intron in the cytochrome b pre-mRNA (McGraw, P., and Tzagoloff, A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 9459-9468). In the present study we describe a mitochondrial mutation capable of suppressing the respiratory deficiency of cbp2 mutants. The mitochondrial suppressor mutation has been shown to be the result of a precise excision of the last intervening sequence from the cytochrome b gene. Strains with the altered mitochondrial DNA have normal levels of mature cytochrome b mRNA and of cytochrome b and exhibit wild type growth on glycerol. These results confirm that CBP2 codes for a protein specifically required for splicing of the cytochrome b intron and further suggest that absence of the intervening sequence does not noticeably affect the expression of respiratory function in mitochondria.     

Fossil cocoons associated with a dinosaur egg from Patagonia,Argentina

Abstract: Eight fossil (Cretaceous) insect cocoons were discovered within the infillings of a broken dinosaur egg of a clutch from a Patagonian locality. Cocoons are considered to be in situ based on detailed preservation of thin, delicate walls with surface texture, infillings that are similar to the surrounding rock matrix and the clustered distribution of cocoons in only one egg out of the clutch of five eggs. According to the shape, size, and thin wall with surface texture, the cocoons are interpreted as having been produced by wasps. The wasps may have been attracted to the egg because of the presence of scavenging insects feeding on the decaying organic matter, or they may have been attracted to spiders feeding on the scavenging insects. In either scenario, after attacking the insects or spiders inside the sand infillings of the egg, the wasp larvae produced the cocoons described herein. The presence of wasps, which are at the top of the scavenging food webs, suggests that a complex community of invertebrates would have developed around rotten dinosaur eggs.
