This paper reports the characterization of the low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin gene family of Aegilops tauschii (syn. Triticum tauschii), the D-genome donor of hexaploid wheat. By analysis of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones positive for hybridization with an LMW glutenin probe, seven unique LMW glutenin genes were identified. These genes were sequenced, including their untranslated 3 and 5 flanking regions. The deduced amino acid sequences of the genes revealed four putative active genes and three pseudogenes. All these genes had a very high level of similarity to LMW glutenins characterized in hexaploid wheat. The predicted molecular weights of the mature proteins were between 32.2 kDa and 39.6 kDa, and the predicted isoelectric points of the proteins were between 7.53 and 8.06. All the deduced proteins were of the LMW-m type. The organization of the seven LMW glutenin genes appears to be interspersed over at least several hundred kilo base pairs, as indicated by the presence of only one gene or pseudogene per BAC clone. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA of Ae. tauschii and the BAC clones containing the seven LMW glutenin genes indicated that the BAC clones contained all LMW glutenin-hybridizing bands present in the genome. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of an LMW glutenin extract from Ae. tauschii was conducted and showed the presence of at least 11 distinct proteins. Further analysis indicated that some of the observed proteins were modified gliadins. These results suggest that the actual number of typical LMW glutenins may in fact be much lower than previously thought, with a number of modified gliadins also being present in the polymeric fraction. 相似文献

PCR was used to amplify low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin genes from the Glu-A3 loci of hexaploid wheat cultivars containing different Glu-A3 alleles. The complete coding sequence of one LMW glutenin gene was obtained for each of the seven alleles Glu-A3a to Glu-A3g. Chromosome assignment of PCR products using Chinese Spring nulli-tetrasomic lines confirmed the amplified products were from chromosome 1A. All sequences were classified as LMW-i-type genes based on the presence of an N-terminal isoleucine residue and eight cysteine residues located within the C-terminal domain of the predicted, mature amino acid sequence. All genes contained a single uninterrupted open reading frame, including the sequence from the Glu-A3e allele, for which no protein product has been identified. Comparison of LMW glutenin gene sequences obtained from different alleles showed a wide range of sequence identity between the genes, with between 1 and 37 single nucleotide polymorphisms and between one and five insertion/deletion events between genes from different alleles. Allele-specific PCR markers were designed based on the DNA polymorphisms identified between the LMW glutenin genes, and these markers were validated against a panel of cultivars containing different Glu-A3 alleles. This collection of markers represents a valuable resource for use in marker-assisted breeding to select for specific alleles of this important quality-determining locus in bread wheat.Communicated by P.

Expression analysis and physical mapping of low-molecular-weight glutenin loci in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Gliadins and glutenins are storage proteins important in determining the bread-, noodle-, and pasta-making quality of wheat. Glutenins consist of HMW and LMW subunits. The Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3 loci on the short arms of chromosomes 1A, 1B, and 1D, respectively, are the major loci for LMW glutenins. To construct physical maps of the Glu-3 loci, a set of 24 high-density filters representing a 3.1x genome coverage hexaploid wheat BAC library was screened by hybridization using a probe made of 3 LMW glutenin sequences. After 2 rounds of hybridization, a subset of 536 BAC clones were selected and fingerprinted. Three developing seed cDNA libraries were also constructed. A total of 5000-6000 ESTs were generated from each library, assembled into contigs and searched by homology for LMW glutenin sequences. In total, 90 full-length LMW glutenin sequences were found to cluster into 8 distinct groups representing at least 21 different LMW glutenin subunits. A set of 24 pairs of PCR primers was designed from these groups and used as markers on the BAC clones. The combined fingerprinting and marker data were used to build the physical maps using FPC software. A total of 91 contigs comprising 254 clones were obtained and 282 clones remained singletons. 相似文献

Low molecular weight (LMW) glutenin subunits represent major part (30%) of storage proteins in wheat endosperm and determine the quality of dough. Despite their importance few LMW glutenin genes have been characterized so far and none from Indian wheat variety. In the present investigation PCR technique was employed to characterize LMW-GS gene representing Glu-B3 locus from Indian bread wheat cultivar NP4. The deduced protein sequence coded by Glu-B3 locus of LMW-GS gene from NP4 showed the presence of regular structure of the repetitive domain with varying numbers of glutamine (Q) residues and the presence of 1st cysteine residue within the repetitive domain at 40th position in mature polypeptide. Such structure might increase and stabilize the gluten polymer through intermolecular interactions of the large numbers of glutamine side chains and cysteine residues for intermolecular disulphide bond formation leading to stronger dough quality of NP4. Moreover, Glu-B3 specific primers could also be used for identifying 1BL/1RS translocation in addition to amplifying LMW glutenin genes. There was no amplification in 1B/1R translocation lines as short arm of wheat was replaced by short arm of rye chromosome in these lines. Such information can be useful in wheat improvement for dough properties for better chapati and bread quality. 相似文献

The wheat D-genome HMW-glutenin locus: BAC sequencing,gene distribution,and retrotransposon clusters 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC) clone from the genome of Triticum tauschii, the D-genome ancestor of hexaploid bread wheat, was sequenced and the presence of the two paralogous x- and y-type high-molecular-weight
(HMW) glutenin genes of the Glu-D1 locus was confirmed. These two genes occur in the same orientation, are 51,893 bp apart, and the separating DNA includes
a 31,000-bp cluster of retrotransposons. A second retrotransposon cluster of 32,000 bp follows the x-type HMW-glutenin gene
region. Each HMW-glutenin gene is found within a region of mainly unique DNA sequence which includes multiple additional genes
including an active endosperm globulin gene not previously reported in the Triticeae family, a leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) type
gene truncated at the 5′ end of the BAC, a kinase gene of unknown activity, remnants of a paralogous second globulin gene,
and genes similar to two hypothetical rice genes. The newly identified globulin genes are assigned to a locus designated Glo-2. Comparison to available orthologous regions of the wheat A and B genomes show rapid sequence divergences flanking the HMW-glutenin
genes, and the absence of two hypothetical and unknown genes found 5′ to the B-genome x-type ortholog. The region surrounding
the Glu-D1 locus is similar to other reported Triticeae BAC sequences; i.e. small gene islands separated by retrotransposon clusters.

Molecular characterization of a LMW-GS gene located on chromosome 1B and the development of primers specific for the Glu-B3 complex locus in durum wheat 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) represent a specific class of wheat storage proteins encoded at the Glu-3 loci. Particularly interesting are the LMW-GS encoded at the Glu-B3 locus because they have been shown to play an important role in determining the pasta-making properties of durum wheat. Genes
encoding LMW-GS have been characterized but only a few of them have been assigned to specific loci. Notably, no complete LMW-GS
gene encoded at the Glu-B3 locus has yet been described. The present paper reports the isolation and characterization of a lmw-gs gene located at the Glu-B3 locus. The clone involved, designated pLDNLMW1B, contains the entire coding region and 524 bp of the 5′ upstream region.
A nucleotide comparison between the pLDNLMW1B clone and other LMW-GS genes showed the presence of some peculiar structural
characteristics, such as short insertions in the promoter region, the presence of a cysteine codon in the repetitive domain,
and a more regular structure of this region, which could be important for its tissue-specific expression and for the functional
properties of the encoded protein, respectively.

Allelic variation of the low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) is associated with the significant differences of
dough quality in bread and durum wheat, and has been widely evaluated at protein level in wheat and its relatives. In this
study, a PCR primer set, targeting the high variable repetitive domains, was employed to assay the length variation of i-type
LMW-GS genes in the A-genomes of diploid wheats, the diploid progenitors of tetraploid and hexaploid wheat. A total of 71
accessions of diploid wheats, belonging to two wild and one cultivated species, were investigated. The higher variations of
repetitive length in i-type LMW-GS genes were found in diploid wheats with Nei’s genetic variation index (H) of 0.834. The two wild species, T. boeoticum and T. urartu, were found to possess the similar degree of variability, with the Nei’s genetic variation index of 0.806 and 0.783, respectively.
Less variation was detected in T. monococcum (H = 0.680), a cultivated species domesticated from T. boeoticum. The sufficient variation found in this study could be used as valuable source for the enrichment of genetic variations and
the alteration of flour-processing properties of the cultivated wheat. To our knowledge, it was the first time that an analysis
of length variation targeting a particular group of genes of LMW-GS complex multigene families was conducted.

Glutenins are multimeric aggregates of high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW) subunits, which determine the quality in wheat. Development of locus-specific primers is an important step toward cloning specific LMW glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) by PCR method. Based on the publicly available, a pair of primer, namely primer 3 (5' TTGTAGAAACTGCCATCCTT 3') and primer 4 (5' GTCACCGCTGCAT CGACATA 3') was designed and verified to specific for LMW-GS genes located on chromosome 1D in this study. The LMW-GS gene located at the Glu-D3 locus in bread wheat cultivar Xiaoyan 6 was cloned using this pair of primer. The clone designated as XYGluD3-LMWGS1 (AY263369), contains the endosperm-specific-expression promoter and the entire coding region. Nucleotide sequence comparison of the XYGluD3-LMWGS1 with other reported LMW-GS genes located at different Glu-3 loci showed the degree of identity among them ranged from 59.57% to 99.78%. The LMW-GS genes at the same locus showed more similar to each other than to the gene at different locus. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the XYGluD3-LMWGS1 with the sequences of 12 group LMW-GSs of wheat cultivar Norin 61 showed that the deduced amino acid sequence was nearly the same to LMW-GS group 10 (identity 99.67%). The deduced LMW-GS contains nine cystine residues, which contained one more cystine residue in the C-terminal conserved domain than previous reported. This was the first LMW-GS gene encoding for a LMW-GS with 9 cystine residues that has been discovered so far. 相似文献

Three novel low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) genes (designated as Ht1, Ht2, and Ht3) were isolated from the genomic DNA of Hordeum brevisubulatum ssp. turkestanicum by PCR amplification (accession no. Y0695). The coding regions of Ht1, Ht2, and Ht3 were 924, 924, and 903 bp, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences were 306, 306, and 299 amino acid residues each
with a signal peptide, a central repetitive region rich in proline and glutamine, and N-and C-terminal non-repetitive domains.
A comparison was carried out of these genes with other known B hordein genes from cultivated barley and LMW glutenin genes
from wheat. The results indicated that Ht1, Ht2, and Ht3 had a more similar structure and a higher level of homology with the LMW-GS genes than the B hordein genes. In order to investigate
the evolutionary relationship of the novel genes with the prolamin genes from barley and wheat, the phylogenetic tree was
constructed and the subfamilies of these prolamin genes were identified. The results suggested that the three novel genes
were glutenin-like proteins designated as LMW-m type genes.

Anchored physical maps represent essential frameworks for map-based cloning, comparative genomics studies, and genome sequencing
projects. High throughput anchoring can be achieved by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening of bacterial artificial chromosome
(BAC) library pools with molecular markers. However, for large genomes such as wheat, the development of high dimension pools
and the number of reactions that need to be performed can be extremely large making the screening laborious and costly. To
improve the cost efficiency of anchoring in such large genomes, we have developed a new software named Elephant (electronic physical map anchoring tool) that combines BAC contig information generated by FingerPrinted Contig with results of BAC library pools screening to
identify BAC addresses with a minimal amount of PCR reactions. Elephant was evaluated during the construction of a physical map of chromosome 3B of hexaploid wheat. Results show that a one dimensional
pool screening can be sufficient to anchor a BAC contig while reducing the number of PCR by 384-fold thereby demonstrating
that Elephant is an efficient and cost-effective tool to support physical mapping in large genomes.

Variation in the HMW and LMW glutenin subunits from Spanish accessions of emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum Schrank) 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum Schrank) is hulled wheat that survives in marginal areas of the Mediterranean Region. The HMW and LMW glutenin subunit composition
of 97 accessions of emmer wheat from Spain have been analysed by SDS-PAGE. For the HMW glutenin subunits, four allelic variants
were detected for the Glu-A1 locus; one of them has not been previously described. For the Glu-B1 locus, three of the nine alleles detected have not been found before. A high degree of variation was evident for the LMW
glutenin subunits, and up to 23 different patterns were detected for the B-LMW glutenin subunits. Considering both types of
proteins (HMW and LMW), 30 combinations were found between all the evaluated lines. This wide polymorphism can be used to
transfer new quality genes to wheat, and to widen its genetic basis.

Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GSs) play an important role in determining the bread-making quality of bread wheat.
However, LMW-GSs display high polymorphic protein complexes encoded by multiple genes, and elucidating the complex LMW-GS
gene family in bread wheat remains challenging. In the present study, using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with
conserved primers and high-resolution capillary electrophoresis, we developed a new molecular marker system for identifying
LMW-GS gene family members. Based on sequence alignment of 13 LMW-GS genes previously identified in the Chinese bread wheat
variety Xiaoyan 54 and other genes available in GenBank, PCR primers were developed and assigned to conserved sequences spanning
the length polymorphism regions of LMW-GS genes. After PCR amplification, 17 DNA fragments in Xiaoyan 54 were detected using
capillary electrophoresis. In total, 13 fragments were identical to previously identified LMW-GS genes, and the other 4 were
derived from unique LMW-GS genes by sequencing. This marker system was also used to identify LMW-GS genes in Chinese Spring
and its group 1 nulli–tetrasomic lines. Among the 17 detected DNA fragments, 4 were located on chromosome 1A, 5 on 1B, and 8 on 1D. The results suggest that this marker system is useful for large-scale identification of LMW-GS genes in bread wheat varieties,
and for the selection of desirable LMW-GS genes to improve the bread-making quality in wheat molecular breeding programmes. 相似文献

Four LMW-m and one novel chimeric (between LMW-i and LMW-m types) low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) genes from Aegilops neglecta (UUMM), Ae. kotschyi (UUSS), and Ae. juvenalis (DDMMUU) were isolated and characterized. Sequence structures showed that the 4 LMW-m-type genes, assigned to the M genome of Ae. neglecta, displayed a high homology with those from hexaploid common wheat. The novel chimeric gene, designed as AjkLMW-i, was isolated from both Ae. kotschyi and Ae. juvenalis and shown to be located on the U genome. Phylogentic analysis demonstrated that it had higher identity to the LMW-m-type than the LMW-i-type genes. A total of 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected among the 4 LMW-m genes, with 13 of these being nonsynonymous SNPs that resulted in amino acid substitutions in the deduced mature proteins. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that it had higher identity to the LMW-m-type than the LMW-i-type genes. The divergence time estimation showed that the M and D genomes were closely related and diverged at 5.42 million years ago (MYA) while the differentiation between the U and A genomes was 6.82 MYA. We propose that, in addition to homologous recombination, an illegitimate recombination event on the U genome may have occurred 6.38 MYA and resulted in the generation of the chimeric gene AjkLMW-i, which may be an important genetic mechanism for the origin and evolution of LMW-GS Glu-3 alleles as well as other prolamin genes. 相似文献

Extensive genetic variations of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) and their coding genes were found in the wild
diploid A- and D-genome donors of common wheat. In this study, we reported the isolation and characterization of 8 novel LMW-GS
genes fromAe.longissima Schweinf. & Muschl., a species of the sectionSitopsis of the genusAegilops, which is closely related to the B genome of common wheat. Based on the N-terminal domain sequences, the 8 genes were divided
into 3 groups. A consensus alignment of the extremely conserved domains with known gene groups and the subsequent cluster
analysis showed that 2 out of the 3 groups of LMW-GS genes were closely related to those from the B genome, and the remaining
was related to those from A and D genomes of wheat andAe. tauschii. Using 3 sets of gene-group-specific primers, PCRs in diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid wheats andAe. tauschii failed to obtain the expected products, indicating that the 3 groups of LMW-GS genes obtained in this study were new members
of LMW-GS multi-gene families. These results suggested that theSitopsis species of the genusAegilops with novel gene variations could be used as valuable gene resources of LMW-GS. The 3 sets of group-specific primers could
be utilized as molecular markers to investigate the introgression of novel alien LMW-GS genes fromAe. longissima into wheat. 相似文献

Construction and characterisation of a large DNA insert library from the D genome of wheat 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
O. Moullet H.-B. Zhang E. S. Lagudah 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》1999,99(1-2):305-313
A large DNA fragment library consisting of 144 000 clones with an average insert size of 119 kb was constructed from nuclear
DNA isolated from root and leaf tissue from Triticum tauschii (syn. Aegilops tauschii), the D-genome progenitor of wheat. The library was made in a binary vector that had previously been shown to stably maintain
large inserts of foreign DNA in Escherichia coli. The use of root nuclei reduced considerably the proportion of the library containing clones derived from chloroplast DNA.
Several experimental parameters were investigated and optimised, leading to a high cloning efficiency. Only three ligations
were needed to construct the library which was estimated to be equivalent to 3.7 haploid genomes. The accuracy of this estimation
was demonstrated by screening this library with three well-defined probes. One probe containing a glutenin gene sequence identified
5 clones covering at least 230 kb of the Glu-D1 locus and contained the two tightly linked high-molecular-weight glutenin genes Glu-D1x and -D1y. Each of the other two single-copy probes derived from the Cre3 cereal cyst nematode resistance gene locus hybridised with 4 clones containing gene sequences encoding nucleotide binding
sites and a leucine-rich region. This is the first representative large-insert DNA library for wheat, and the results indicated
that large molecules of wheat DNA can be efficiently cloned, stably maintained and manipulated in a bacterial system.

Locus-specific primers for LMW glutenin genes on each of the group 1 chromosomes of hexaploid wheat 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

To reveal the chromosomal location of three known low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin genes in wheat, we designed and used three sets of sequence-specific primers in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) on Chinese Spring and its derived group 1 aneuploid nullisomic-tetrasomic stocks. Two sets proved to be chromosome specific and amplified sequences from the Glu-A3 and Glu-D3 loci, respectively. The third set was apparently composed of conserved sequences as it produced PCR products in each of the aneuploids. Two of these products were cloned, and their sequences differed from the known LMW glutenin genes at several positions. Again, primer sets specific for these sequences were designed. One set was directed to the Glu-A3 locus, the second set resulted in two PCR products differing in length, one of which was located on chromosome 1B and the other on 1D. Primer sets constructed for the latter two sequences were specific for the Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci, respectively. Hence, primer sets specific for each of the three homoeologous chromosomes of the group 1 (1A, 1B, 1D) are available. In addition, these locus-specific primers were assayed for their ability to distinguish among wheat cultivars. PCR products amplified with one of the Glu-A3-specific primer sets showed length polymorphisms in various wheat varieties. Varieties carrying the 1RS.1BL translocated chromosomes could be recognized by the absence of a PCR product when the Glu-B3 primer set was used. These results suggest that PCR with locus-specific primers can be useful in the molecular genetic analysis of hexaploid wheat. 相似文献

Classification of wheat low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit genes and its chromosome assignment by developing LMW-GS group-specific primers 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Long H Wei YM Yan ZH Baum B Nevo E Zheng YL 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》2005,111(7):1251-1259
On the basis of sequence analysis, 69 known low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) genes were experimentally classified
into nine groups by the deduced amino acid sequence of the highly conserved N-terminal domain. To clarify the chromosomal
locations of these groups, 11 specific primer sets were designed to carry out polymerase chain reactions (PCR) with the genomic
DNA of group 1 ditelosomic lines of Chinese Spring, among which nine primer sets proved to be LMW-GS group-specific. Each group of LMW-GS genes was specifically assigned on
a single chromosome arm and hence to a specific locus. Therefore, these results provided the possibility to predict the chromosome
location of a new LMW-GS gene based on its deduced N-terminal sequence. The validity of the classification was confirmed by
the amplifications in 27 diploid wheat and Aegilops accessions. The length polymorphisms of LMW-GS genes of groups 1 and 2, and groups 3 and 4.1 were detected in diploid A-genome
and S-genome accessions, respectively. The diploid wheat and Aegilops species could be used as valuable resources of novel allele variations of LMW-GS gene in the improvement of wheat quality.
The nine LMW-GS group-specific primer sets could be utilized to select specific allele variations of LMW-GS genes in the marker-assisted
breeding.

Cloning and Expression of Low Molecular Weight Glutenin Genes from the Chinese Elite Wheat Cultivar "Xiaoyan 54" 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The low molecular weight (LMW) glutenln subunlts account for 40% of wheat gluten protein content by mass and these proteins are considered to significantly affect dough quality characteristics. Five new full-length LMW glutenln genes (designated LMW-5, LMW-7, LMW-42, LMW-58, and LMW-34) were isolated from the Chinese elite wheat cultivar "Xlaoyan 54" by PCR amplification of genomlc DNA using a pair of degenerate primers designed from the conserved sequences of the N- and C-terminal regions of published LMW glutenln genes. Deduced amino acid sequence analysis showed that LMW-5 belongs to the LMW-i type genes and that the other four belong to LMW-m type genes. Sequence comparisons revealed that point mutations occasionally occurred in signal peptide and N-terminus domains and often existed in domain III and domain V. Small insertions and deletions are represented in the repetitive domain. There is a stop codon after amino acid position 110 In the repetitive domain of LMW.34, indicating that It is a pseudogene. The other four genes have complete open reading frames and the putative mature regions of these genes were subcloned Into pET-30a expression vector and successfully expressed in Escherlchla coll. Protein sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamlde gel electro- phoresls analysis showed that all proteins expressed in E. coil by the four genes could be related to B-group LMW glutenln subunits of wheat. 相似文献
