柔红霉素产生菌SIPI-1482中dnmV基因功能的阻断及恢复

dnmV基因产物为柔红霉素生物合成途径中TDP-6-脱氧己糖C4酮基还原酶,破坏该基因能阻断柔红糖胺的合成,进而阻断柔红霉素的产生。从天蓝淡红链霉菌(S. coeruleorubidus)SIPI-1482基因组DNA中经PCR扩增出dnmV及其上游dnmU基因片段,并由此构建了用于阻断dnmV基因的同源重组质粒pYG817,转化SIPI-1482菌株后成功地破坏了dnmV基因,发酵结果显示阻断突变株不再代谢产生柔红霉素,为引入新的基因来改变代谢产物的糖基结构打下了基础。通过导入dnmV基因表达质粒可重建该突变株的生物合成途径,恢复产生柔红霉素,但产量比出发菌株要低。

利用核糖体小亚基RNA基因序列对环须虫属,突口虫属及旋口虫属(原生动物,纤毛门,异毛纲)系统地位的探讨

在系统发育研究中,异毛纲纤毛虫普遍被认为是一个多源发生系.为进一步探讨纲中各科/属间的亲缘关系,新测定了隶属于异毛纲的2属4种的核糖体小亚基基因序列,并结合GenBank中迄今所知该类群的基因序列,利用最大似然法、贝叶斯法、最大简约法和邻接法构建了系统发生树.结果显示:1)所涉及的9个科中,赭纤虫科Blepharismidae、喇叭纤虫科Stentoridae、瓶囊虫科Folliculinidae和缘棘虫科Peritromidae为单源发生,爽口虫科Climacostomidae、旋口虫科spirostomidae和突口虫科Condylostomatidae为非单源发生;2)环须虫属Peritromus与爽口虫属Climacostomum两个属为姐妹类群;3)旋口虫属跏Spirostomum先于其它异毛类分化出去,与格鲁博虫属Gruberia亲缘关系较远;4)突喇叭虫属Condylostentor与突口虫属Condylostoma聚在一起并与夏通属Chattonidium具有更近的亲缘关系,而与喇叭虫属Stentor关系较远.

Study on Tandem Repeat Sequence Variation in Sheep mtDNA D-loop Region

The 75-nt-long tandem repeat sequence in the control region of mtDNA of 77 individuals, of which 69 were from different indigenous sheep breeds in China and 8 were from imported breeds, was sequenced and analyzed to investigate the origin and differentiation of Chinese indigenous sheep breeds and also the genetic diversities and relationships among them. A total of 28 variable sites were detected within 309 repeated sequences, among which 7 sites were singleton variable sites with two variants, 1 site was a singleton variable site with three variants, and 20 sites were parsimony informative sites with two variants. A total of 63 haplotypes were sorted from 28 polymorphic sites, among which two main and basic haplotypes, namely, Hap 1 and Hap 3 were present at a much higher proportion, at 12.94% and 30.42%, respectively. It could be inferred that Chinese indigenous sheep breeds originated from two maternal ancestors because of the maternal inheritance characteristics of the mtDNA. Altay sheep and Kazakstan sheep are closely related and do not differentiate significantly. Mongolian sheep and Ujumuqin sheep also share a close relationship. Tibetan sheep, Mongolian sheep, and Ujumuqin sheep have lower genetic diversity than Altay sheep and Kazakstan sheep.     

The effect of mutation at M307 in <Emphasis Type="Italic">FUT1</Emphasis> gene on susceptibility of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis> F18 and gene expression in Sutai piglets

Escherichia coli F18 (ECF18) is a common porcine enteric pathogen. The pathogenicity of ECF18 bacteria depends on the existence of ECF18 receptor in the brush border membranes of piglet’s small intestinal mucosa. Alpha (1) fucosyltransferase gene (FUT1) has been identified as the candidate gene controlling the adhesion to ECF18 receptor. The genetic variations in the position of M307 nucleotide in open reading frame of FUT1 have been proposed as a marker for selecting resistant pigs. The piglets were divided into three groups, AA, AG and GG, according to the genotypes present at M307 of FUT1. Small intestinal epithelium cells of piglets with AA, AG and GG genotypes were selected to test the adhesion capability of the wild type E.coli expressing F18ab fimbriae, the recombinant E. coli expressing F18ac fimbriae or the recombinant E. coli secreting and surface-displaying the FedF subunit of F18ab fimbriae, respectively. Here, we examined the distribution and expression of porcine FUT1 mRNA in different tissues in Sutai pigs using real-time PCR. The results showed that piglets with AA genotype show resistance, whereas piglets with GG or AG genotypes are sensitive to the pathogenic E. coli F18 in Sutai piglets. FUT1 was expressed in all the tissues that were examined, and the gene’s expression was highest in the lungs. There was no significant difference in expression level among the three genotypes in the liver, lung, stomach and duodenum, where the gene expression was relatively high. The present analysis suggested that mutation at M307 in FUT1 gene determines susceptibility of small intestinal epithelium to E. coli F18 adhesion in Sutai piglet and the expression of FUT1 gene may be regulated by other factors or the mutation was likely to be in linkage disequilibrium with some cis-regulatory variants.
