In this study, attempts have been made to identify and characterize water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) mammary derived growth inhibitor (MDGI) gene, isolated from a mammary gland cDNA library of lactating buffalo. The complete MDGI cDNA was of 698 nucleotides, consisting 61 nucleotides in 5′ UTR, coding region of 402 nucleotides, and 235 nucleotides representing the 3′ UTR. Comparison of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence data with that of MDGI//fatty acid binding protein (FABP) of other species shows three buffalo specific nucleotide changes while seven nucleotide changes were common to cattle and buffalo. Buffalo and cattle MDGI had 100% amino acid sequence similarity, which also shared three amino acid changes: 34 (Ala-Gly), 109 (Leu-Met), and 132 (Glu-Gln) as compared to other species. Comparison with FABPs reported from other cattle tissues revealed highest amino acid sequence similarity with FABP-heart (100%) and least with FABP-liver (20.5%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed cattle MDGI to be closest to buffalo, while mouse MDGI was distantly placed, whereas different tissue derived FABPs of cattle showed FABP-heart closest and FABP-epidermis most distantly placed from buffalo MDGI. This report also differs from the earlier findings that MDGI is intermediate of FABP-heart and adipose. 相似文献

The present study aims to understand the existing genetic diversity and structure of six native cattle breeds (Rathi, Tharparkar, Nagori, Mewati, Gir, and Kankrej) adapted to the north-western arid and semi-arid region of India based on microsatellite loci. Various diversity estimates, mean number of alleles (12.84); effective number of alleles (5.02); gene diversity (0.769), and observed heterozygosity (0.667) reflected the existence of substantial within-breed diversity in all the investigated cattle breeds. Mean estimates of F-statistics: FIT = 0.144 ± 0.023, FIS = 0.071 ± 0.021, and FST = 0.078 ± 0.014 were significantly different from zero (P < 0.05). The interbreed relationships indicated moderate level of breed differentiation between the six cattle breeds with least differentiation between Kankrej-Mewati pair. The phylogeny structuring further supported close grouping of Kankrej and Mewati breeds. Correspondence analysis plotted Rathi, Tharparkar, and Gir individuals into three separate areas of multivariate space; whereas, Kankrej, Mewati, and Nagori cattle showed low breed specific clustering. This reflected the existence of discrete genetic structure for Tharparkar, Rathi, and Gir, the prominent dairy breeds of the region; whereas, admixture was observed for Kankrej, Mewati, and Nagori individuals. 相似文献

Sperm morphometry, in combination with other objective traits, can be useful for developing a fertility index. The objective of the present study was to measure various biometric end points of frozen-thawed sperm from eight breeds of Indian buffaloes (Murrah, Surti, Tarai, Mehsana, Jaffrabadi, Bhadawari, Pandharpuri and Nili-Ravi). The sperm head of Pandharpuri buffaloes had the greatest length (10.21 microm), width (6.05 microm), area (52.31 microm(2)) and perimeter (31.86 microm). The ratio of sperm width to length was also greatest (0.61) in Pandharpuri as well as in two other breeds, viz. Nili-Ravi and Jaffrabadi. Murrah had the smallest sperm head width (4.75 microm), area (41.65 microm(2)) and perimeter (29.17 microm), but its sperm tail was longest (57.02 microm), along with that of Jaffrabadi buffaloes (56.96 microm). Based on mean values of sperm tail length, mid piece length and its width the eight buffalo breeds were categorized into three, four and five groups, respectively. Multivariate analysis and clustering put six breeds (Surti, Tarai, Mehsana, Jaffrabadi, Bhadawari and Nili-Ravi) in one cluster, whereas Murrah and Pandharpuri appeared as separate entities. 相似文献

A very high level of alkalophilic and thermostable pectinase and xylanase has been produced from newly isolated strains of
Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus respectively. Enzyme production for pectinase was carried out under SSF using combinations of cheap agricultural residues
while xylanase was produced under submerged fermentation using wheat bran as substrate to minimize the cost of production
of these enzymes Among the various substrates tested, the highest yield of pectinase production was observed by using combination
of WB + CW (6592 U/g of dry substrate) supplemented with 4% yeast extract when incubated at 37 °C for 72 h using deionized
water of pH 7.0 as moistening agent. The biobleaching effect of these cellulase free enzymes on kraft pulp was determined.
Both xylanase and pectinase showed stability over a broad range of pH from 6 to 10 and temperature from 55 to 70 °C. The bleaching
efficiency of the pectinase and xylanase on kraft pulp was maximum after 150 min at 60 °C using enzyme dosage of 5 IU/ml of
each enzyme at 10% pulp consistency with about 16% reduction in kappa number and 84% reduction in permanganate number. Enzyme
treated pulp when subjected to CDED1D2 steps, 25% reduction in chlorine consumption and upto 19% reduction in consumption of chlorine dioxide was observed for obtaining
the same %ISO brightness. Also an increase of 22 and 84% in whiteness and fluorescence respectively and a decrease of approximately
19% in the yellowness of the biotreated pulp were observed by pretreatment of the pulp with our enzymatic mixture. 相似文献

In this study, complete nucleotide as well as derived amino acid sequence characterization of water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) kappa-casein gene has been presented. Kappa-casein cDNA clones were identified and isolated from a buffalo lactating mammary gland cDNA library. Sequence analysis of kappa-casein cDNA revealed 850 nucleotides with an open reading frame (ORF) of 573 nucleotides, encoding mature peptide of 169 amino acids. The 5' untranslated region (UTR) comprised 71 nucleotides, while 3' UTR was of 206 nucleotides. A total of 11 nucleotide and seven amino acid changes were observed in, buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) as compared to cattle (Bos taurus), sheep (Ovis aries) and goat (Capra hircus). Among these nucleotide changes, eight were unique in buffalo as they were fully conserved in cattle, sheep and goat. Majority of the nucleotide changes and all the amino acid changes; 14 (Asp-Glu), 19(Asp/Ser-Asn), 96(Ala-Thr), 126(Ala-Val), 128(Ala/Gly-Val), 156(Ala/Pro-Val) and 168(Ala/Glu-Val) were limited to exon IV. Three glycosylation sites, Thr 131, Thr 133 and Thr 142 reported in cattle and goat kappa-casein gene were also conserved in buffalo, however, in sheep Thr 142 was replaced by Ala. Chymosin hydrolysis site, between amino acids Phe 105 and Met 106, important for rennet coagulation process, were found to be conserved across four bovid species. Buffalo kappa-casein with the presence of amino acids Thr 136 and Ala 148 seems to be an intermediate of "A" and "B" variants of cattle. Comparison with other livestock species revealed buffalo kappa-casein sharing maximum nucleotide (95.5%) and amino acid (92.6%) similarity with cattle, whereas with pig it showed least sequence similarity of 76.0% and 53.2%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on both nucleotide and amino acid sequence indicated buffalo kappa-casein grouping with cattle, while sheep and goat forming a separate cluster close to them. The non-ruminant species viz. camel, horse and pig were distantly placed, in separate lineages. 相似文献

We report a genetic diversity study of Kherigarh cattle, a utility draught-purpose breed of India, currently declining at
a startling rate, by use of microsatellite markers recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization. Microsatellite genotypes
were derived, and allelic and genotypic frequencies, heterozygosities and gene diversity were estimated. A total of 131 alleles
were distinguished by the 21 microsatellite markers used. All the microsatellites were highly polymorphic, with mean (±s.e.)
allelic number of 6.24 ±1.7, ranging 4–10 per locus. The observed heterozygosity in the population ranged between 0.261 and
0.809, with mean (±s.e.) of 0.574 ±0.131, indicating considerable genetic variation in this population. Genetic bottleneck
hypotheses were also explored. Our data suggest that the Kherigarh breed has not experienced a genetic bottleneck in the recent
past. 相似文献

EFFECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES ON STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF WOODY SPECIES OF THE NOKREK BIOSPHERE RESERVE OF MEGHALAYA,NORTHEAST INDIA 下载免费PDF全文
Aims Our study was conducted in the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve (NBR) in the Garo hills districts of Meghalaya, Northeast India. Our aim was to assess the effects of human activities on plant diversity,population structure and regeneration.Methods We selected a representative 1.2 hm2 stand in both the core and buffer zones of NBR. Structure and composition were determined by randomly sampling square quadrats, population structure was assessed by determining age structure, and regeneration was assessed by measuring densities of seedling, sapling and adult trees.Important findings More woody species were recorded from the core zone than the buffer zone (87 vs. 81 species), and there were a large number of tropical, temperate, and Sino-Himalayan, Burma-Malaysian and Malayan elements, primitive families and primitive genera. The trees were distributed in three distinct strata,canopy, subcanopy and sapling. Subcanopy and sapling layers had the highest species richness (81% -88% ). Lauraceae and Euphorbiaceae were the dominant families in terms of the number of species, and a large number of families were represented by single species. Most woody species (57 % - 79 % ) were contagiously distributed and had low frequency ( < 20% ). Although stand density was high in the buffer zone, its basal area was low compared to the stand in the core zone. Low similarity and high β-diversity indicate marked differences in species composition of the stands. Shannon diversity index was high in both the stands, while Simpson dominance index was low. The diameter-class distribution for dominant species revealed that the most had a large number of young individuals in their populations. Preponderance of tree seedlings, followed by a steep decline in population density of saplings and adult trees, indicated that the seedling to sapling stage was the most critical in the life cycle of the tree populations. Most species (42 % - 48 % ) had no regeneration,25 % - 35 % had good/fair regeneration, and the rest had poor regeneration or reoccurred as immigrants. 相似文献

Evidence of positive selection and concerted evolution in the rapidly evolving PRDM9 zinc finger domain in goats and sheep 下载免费PDF全文

Meiotic recombination contributes to augmentation of genetic diversity, exclusion of deleterious alleles and proper segregation of chromatids. PRDM9 has been identified as the gene responsible for specifying the location of recombination hotspots during meiosis and is also the only known vertebrate gene associated with reproductive isolation between species. PRDM9 encodes a protein with a highly variable zinc finger (ZF) domain that varies between as well as within species. In the present study, the ZF domain of PRDM9 on chromosome 1 was characterized for the first time in 15 goat breeds and 25 sheep breeds of India. A remarkable variation in the number and sequence of ZF domains was observed. The number of ZF repeats in the ZF array varied from eight to 12 yielding five homozygous and 10 heterozygous genotypes. The number of different ZF domains was 84 and 52 producing 36 and 26 unique alleles in goats and sheep respectively. The posterior mean of dN/dS or omega values were calculated using the codeml tool of pamlx to identify amino acids that are evolving positively in goats and sheep, as positions ?1, +3 and +6 in the ZF domain have been reported to experience strong positive selection across different lineages. Our study identified sites ?5, ?1, +3, +4 and +6 to be experiencing positive selection. Small ruminant zinc fingers were also found to be evolving under concerted evolution. Our results demonstrate the existence of a vast diversity of PRDM9 in goats and sheep, which is in concert with reports in many metazoans. 相似文献

Visible Raman excitation laser induced power and exposure dependent effects in red blood cells 下载免费PDF全文

We present results of Raman spectroscopic studies carried out on optically trapped red blood cells with Raman excitation wavelength in Q‐band region of the hemoglobin (Hb) absorption spectrum. The results obtained suggest that when exposed to the Raman excitation laser the RBCs get deoxygenated due to photo‐dissociation of oxygen from hemoglobin. For smaller exposure durations (5 s) the level of deoxygenation increases with an increase in power. However, for longer exposure durations the deoxygenated hemoglobin in the cells gets irreversibly oxidized to form a low spin ferric derivative of hemoglobin. The rate of oxidation depends upon the initial level of deoxygenation; higher the initial level of deoxygenation, higher is the rate of oxidation. However, the RBCs deoxygenated via oxygen deprivation (i.e. N2 purging) were found to be very stable against any laser induced effect. These observations suggests that in case of laser induced deoxygenation of RBCs the free oxygen generated by photo‐dissociation acts as the oxidizing agent and leads to oxidative damage of the RBCs.
