Restriction-map variation with the yellow-achaete-scute region in five populations of Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
It has been proposed that the degree of recombination for a genomic region
will affect the level of both nucleotide heterozygosity and the density of
transposable elements. Both features of genomic diversity have been
examined in a number of recent reports for regions undergoing relatively
normal levels of recombination in Drosophila melanogaster. In this study
the genomic variation associated with yellow-achaete- scute loci located at
the tip of the X chromosome is examined by six- cutter restriction mapping.
In this region, as usual for regions adjacent to telomeres, crossing-over
is dramatically reduced, and published studies of visible mutants indicate
extremely little restriction-map variation. Eight six-cutter restriction
endonucleases were used to locate sequence variation in 14- and 16.5-kb
regions in 109 lines sampled from North America, Africa, and Europe. The
overall level of heterozygosity is estimated as 0.29%. Nine large
insertions, all presumed to be transposable elements, were observed.
Base-pair heterozygosity appears to be reduced compared with regions having
normal levels of recombination. The estimated heterozygosity is much higher
than reported in earlier studies of restriction-map variation among visible
mutations in the complex. The incidence of large insertions is not elevated
compared with that in other regions of the genome. This suggests that
asymmetric synapsis and exchange is not an important mechanism for the
elimination of transposable elements.

Evaluating Burkholderia pseudomallei Bip proteins as vaccines and Bip antibodies as detection agents 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a biothreat agent and an important natural pathogen, causing melioidosis in humans and animals. A type III secretion system (TTSS-3) has been shown to be critical for virulence. Because TTSS components from other pathogens have been used successfully as diagnostic agents and as experimental vaccines, it was investigated whether this was the case for BipB, BipC and BipD, components of B. pseudomallei's TTSS-3. The sequences of BipB, BipC and BipD were found to be highly conserved among B. pseudomallei and B. mallei isolates. A collection of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for each Bip protein was obtained. Most recognized both native and denatured Bip protein. Burkholderia pseudomallei or B. mallei did not express detectable BipB or BipD under the growth conditions used. However, anti-BipD mAbs did recognize the TTSS needle structures of a Shigella strain engineered to express BipD. The authors did not find that BipB, BipC or BipD are protective antigens because vaccination of mice with any single protein did not result in protection against experimental melioidosis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) studies showed that human melioidosis patients had antibodies to BipB and BipD. However, these ELISAs had low diagnostic accuracy in endemic regions, possibly due to previous patient exposure to B. pseudomallei. 相似文献

A total of 27Fusarium culmorum isolates from Germany and 41F. graminearum isolates from Kenya were investigated for aggressiveness and mycotoxin production on wheat ears. In addition, ergosterol content of the kernels from ears inoculated withF. graminearum was determined and theF. culmorum isolates were tested for mycotoxin productionin vitro. For both pathogens, isolates markedly differed in aggressiveness. 59% and 37% of theF. culmorum isolates produced NIV and DON, respectively,in vivo andin vitro. The DON-producing isolates also produced 3-acDONin vitro. The more aggressive isolates produced mainly DON while the less aggressive isolates produced mainly NIV. 12% and 85% of theF. graminearum isolates produced NIV and DON, respectively. The highly aggressive isolates produced higher amounts of DON, aggressiveness being highly correlated to DON content in the kernels. NIV-producing isolates were less aggressive. Ergosterol content of kernels was moderately correlated to aggressiveness but highly correlated to DON content. Disease severity was associated with kernel weight reduction. 相似文献
