Summary The study of the structural organization of the eukaryotic genome is one of the most important tools for disclosing the evolutionary relationships between species.Artemia (Crustacea, Phyllopoda) offers a very interesting model for speciation studies. The genus, distributed all over the world, comprises both bisexual sibling species and parthenogenetic populations, exhibiting different chromosome numbers (diploidy, polyploidy, and heteroploidy).Digestion of genomic DNA of the parthenogeneticArtemia sp. from Tsing-Tao (China) with the restriction enzymes Eco RI and Alu I reveals that a highly repetitive sequence of 133 bp is present. The Eco RI fragment has been cloned and characterized by genomic organization. The distribution of the Eco RI family of repeats was also studied in several bisexual and parthenogeneticArtemia populations and compared with an Alu I repetitive fragment previously identified inArtemia franciscana. 相似文献

Identification and characterization of the major components of the Oncorhynchus mykiss egg chorion. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The extracellular coat surrounding the fish egg, commonly called the chorion, is a primary envelope that confers biochemical and morphological identity typical of the species. Purified chorions can be easily isolated from either oocytes or ovulated eggs. The aim of this work was to analyze the macromolecular composition of the various chorion components in Oncorhynchus mykiss (Salmonids). SDS-PAGE analysis of purified chorion showed a reproducible pattern of four major components (129, 62, 54, and 47 kD), representing about 80% of total chorion proteins. The 129 and 47 kD polypeptides were periodic-acid Schiff (PAS) and concanavalin A positive. After chemical and enzymatic deglycosylation treatments only the 129 and 47 kD components proved to be glycosylated and to belong to the "asparagine-linked" glycoprotein family. Furthermore, peptide mapping performed on isolated polypeptides showed comigrating fragments on SDS-PAGE. These results suggest that the four main chorion polypeptides might share common structural features. 相似文献

Histochemical analysis of oligochaete body wall 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

The body wall muscle fibers of Rinchelmis limosella and Enchytraeus albidus have been hystochemically characterized. The results have been compared with similar data on Lumbricus terrestris and Hirudo medicinalis. The various enzymatic activities have been correlated with the ultrastructural data and a possible functional meaning of the different muscle layers has been proposed. 相似文献

Cornelia de Lange Syndrome is a severe genetic disorder characterized by malformations affecting multiple systems, with a common feature of severe mental retardation. Genetic variants within four genes (NIPBL (Nipped-B-like), SMC1A, SMC3, and HDAC8) are believed to be responsible for the majority of cases; all these genes encode proteins that are part of the ‘cohesin complex''. Cohesins exhibit two temporally separated major roles in cells: one controlling the cell cycle and the other involved in regulating the gene expression. The present study focuses on the role of the zebrafish nipblb paralog during neural development, examining its expression in the central nervous system, and analyzing the consequences of nipblb loss of function. Neural development was impaired by the knockdown of nipblb in zebrafish. nipblb-loss-of-function embryos presented with increased apoptosis in the developing neural tissues, downregulation of canonical Wnt pathway genes, and subsequent decreased Cyclin D1 (Ccnd1) levels. Importantly, the same pattern of canonical WNT pathway and CCND1 downregulation was observed in NIPBL-mutated patient-specific fibroblasts. Finally, chemical activation of the pathway in nipblb-loss-of-function embryos rescued the adverse phenotype and restored the physiological levels of cell death. 相似文献

The High-Mobility Group Box (HMGB) proteins are highly abundant proteins with both nuclear and extracellular roles in key biological processes. In mammals, three family members are present: HMGB1, HMGB2 and HMGB3. We characterized the HMGB family in zebrafish and report a detailed phylogenetic analysis of HMGB proteins. The B1, B2, and B3 subfamilies are present in cartilaginous fish, bony fish, and tetrapods, while jawless fish sequences emerge as basal to the gene family expansion. Two co-orthologs of each mammalian HMGB gene are present in zebrafish. All six zebrafish hmgb genes are maternally expressed, but huge differences in expression levels exist during embryonic development. The hmgb2a/hmgb2b genes are the most highly expressed, while hmgb3b is expressed at the lowest level. Remarkably, hmgb3 genes are not present in fugu, medaka, Tetraodon and stickleback. Our analysis highlights substantial overlaps, but also subtle differences and specificities in the expression patterns of the zebrafish hmgb genes. 相似文献
