Paired sequence difference in ribosomal RNAs: evolutionary and phylogenetic implications 总被引:12,自引:1,他引:11
Ribosomal RNAs have secondary structures that are maintained by internal
Watson-Crick pairing. Through analysis of chordate, arthropod, and plant 5S
ribosomal RNA sequences, we show that Darwinian selection operates on these
nucleotide sequences to maintain functionally important secondary
structure. Insect phylogenies based on nucleotide positions involved in
pairing and the production of secondary structure are incongruent with
those constructed on the basis of positions that are not. Furthermore,
phylogeny reconstruction using these nonpairing bases is concordant with
other, morphological data.

A new method for obtaining transgenic sweet orange plants was developed in which positive selection (Positech) based on the Escherichia coli
phosphomannose-isomerase (PMI) gene as the selectable marker gene and mannose as the selective agent was used. Epicotyl segments from in vitro-germinated plants of Valencia, Hamlin, Natal and Pera sweet oranges were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens
EHA101-pNOV2116 and subsequently selected on medium supplemented with different concentrations of mannose or with a combination of mannose and sucrose as a carbon source. Genetic transformation was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot. The transgene expression was evaluated using a chlorophenol red assay and isoenzymes. The transformation efficiency rate ranged from 3% to 23.8%, depending on cultivar. This system provides an efficient manner for selecting transgenic sweet orange plants without using antibiotics or herbicides.Abbreviations BAP

Effects of EDTA treatment upon the protein subunit composition and mechanical properties of mammalian single skeletal muscle fibers 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9 下载免费PDF全文
Considerable interest has been focused on the role of myosin light chain LC(2) in the contraction of vertebrate striated muscle. A study was undertaken to further our investigations (Moss, R.L., G.G. Giulian, and M.L. Greaser, 1981, J. Biol. Chem., 257:8588-8591) of the effects of LC(2) removal upon contraction in skinned fibers from rabbit psoas muscles. Isometric tension and maximum velocity of shortening, V(max), were measured in fiber segments prior to LC(2) removal. The segments were then bathed at 30 degrees C for up to 240 min in a buffer solution containing 20 mM EDTA in order to extract up to 60 percent of the LC(2). Troponin C (TnC) was also partially removed by this procedure. Mechanical measurements were done following the EDTA extraction and the readditions of first TnC and then LC(2) to the segments. The protein subunit compositions of the same fiber segments were determined following each of these procedures by SDS PAGE of small pieces of the fiber. V(max) was found to decrease as the LC(2) content of the fiber segments was reduced by increasing the duration of extraction. EDTA treatment also resulted in substantial reductions in tension due mainly to the loss of TnC, though smaller reductions due to the extraction of LC(2) were also observed. Reversal of the order of recombination of LC(2) and TnC indicated that the reduction in V(max) following EDTA treatment was a specific effect of LC(2) removal. These results strongly suggest that LC(2) may have roles in determining the kinetics and extent of interaction between myosin and actin. 相似文献

Mitochondrial gene order is not conserved in arthropods: prostriate and metastriate tick mitochondrial genomes 总被引:25,自引:15,他引:10
The entire mitochondrial genome was sequenced in a prostriate tick, Ixodes
hexagonus, and a metastriate tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Both genomes
encode 22 tRNAs, 13 proteins, and two ribosomal RNAs. Prostriate ticks are
basal members of Ixodidae and have the same gene order as Limulus
polyphemus. In contrast, in R. sanguineus, a block of genes encoding NADH
dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1), tRNA(Leu)(UUR), tRNA(Leu)(CUN), 16S rDNA,
tRNA(Val), 12S rDNA, the control region, and the tRNA(Ile) and tRNA(Gln)
have translocated to a position between the tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Phe) genes.
The tRNA(Cys) gene has translocated between the control region and the
tRNA(Met) gene, and the tRNA(Leu)(CUN) gene has translocated between the
tRNA(Ser)(UCN) gene and the control region. Furthermore, the control region
is duplicated, and both copies undergo concerted evolution. Primers that
flank these rearrangements confirm that this gene order is conserved in all
metastriate ticks examined. Correspondence analysis of amino acid and codon
use in the two ticks and in nine other arthropod mitochondrial genomes
indicate a strong bias in R. sanguineus towards amino acids encoded by
AT-rich codons.

Using the strictly neutral model as a null hypothesis, we tested for
deviations from expected levels of nucleotide polymorphism at the alcohol
dehydrogenase locus (Adh-1) within and among four species of pocket gophers
(Geomys bursarius major, G. knoxjonesi, G. texensis llanensis, and G.
attwateri). The complete protein-encoding region was examined, and 10
unique alleles, representing both electromorphic and cryptic alleles, were
used to test hypotheses (e.g., the neutral model) concerning the
maintenance of genetic variation. Nineteen variable sites were identified
among the 10 alleles examined, including 9 segregating sites occurring in
synonymous positions and 10 that were nonsynonymous. Several statistical
methods, including those that test for within-species variation as well as
those that examine variation within and among species, failed to reject the
null hypothesis that variation (both within and between species of Geomys)
at the Adh locus is consistent with the neutral theory. However, there was
significant heterogeneity in the ratio of polymorphism to divergence across
the gene, with polymorphisms clustered in the first half of the coding
region and fixed differences clustered in the second half of the gene. Two
alternative hypotheses are discussed as possible explanations for this
heterogeneity: an old balanced polymorphism in the first half of the gene
or a recent selective sweep in the second half of the gene.
