The tobamovirus resistance gene L
3 of Capsicum chinense was mapped using an intra-specific F2 population (2,016 individuals) of Capsicum annuum cultivars, into one of which had been introduced the C. chinense
L
3 gene, and an inter-specific F2 population (3,391 individuals) between C. chinense and Capsicum frutescence. Analysis of a BAC library with an AFLP marker closely linked to L
3-resistance revealed the presence of homologs of the tomato disease resistance gene I2. Partial or full-length coding sequences were cloned by degenerate PCR from 35 different pepper I2 homologs and 17 genetic markers were generated in the inter-specific combination. The L
3 gene was mapped between I2 homolog marker IH1-04 and BAC-end marker 189D23M, and located within a region encompassing two different BAC contigs consisting
of four and one clones, respectively. DNA fiber FISH analysis revealed that these two contigs are separated from each other
by about 30 kb. DNA fiber FISH results and Southern blotting of the BAC clones suggested that the L
3 locus-containing region is rich in highly repetitive sequences. Southern blot analysis indicated that the two BAC contigs
contain more than ten copies of the I2 homologs. In contrast to the inter-specific F2 population, no recombinant progeny were identified to have a crossover point
within two BAC contigs consisting of seven and two clones in the intra-specific F2 population. Moreover, distribution of the
crossover points differed between the two populations, suggesting linkage disequilibrium in the region containing the L locus.

Intraspecific nuclear DNA variation in Drosophila 总被引:12,自引:6,他引:12
We have summarized and analyzed all available nuclear DNA sequence
polymorphism studies for three species of Drosophila, D. melanogaster (24
loci), D. simulans (12 loci), and D. pseudoobscura (5 loci). Our major
findings are: (1) The average nucleotide heterozygosity ranges from about
0.4% to 2% depending upon species and function of the region, i.e., coding
or noncoding. (2) Compared to D. simulans and D. pseudoobscura (which are
about equally variable), D. melanogaster displays a low degree of DNA
polymorphism. (3) Noncoding introns and 3' and 5' flanking DNA shows less
polymorphism than silent sites within coding DNA. (4) X-linked genes are
less variable than autosomal genes. (5) Transition (Ts) and transversion
(Tv) polymorphisms are about equally frequent in non-coding DNA and at
fourfold degenerate sites in coding DNA while Ts polymorphisms outnumber Tv
polymorphisms by about 2:1 in total coding DNA. The increased Ts
polymorphism in coding regions is likely due to the structure of the
genetic code: silent changes are more often Ts's than are replacement
substitutions. (6) The proportion of replacement polymorphisms is
significantly higher in D. melanogaster than in D. simulans. (7) The level
of variation in coding DNA and the adjacent noncoding DNA is significantly
correlated indicating regional effects, most notably recombination. (8)
Surprisingly, the level of polymorphism at silent coding sites in D.
melanogaster is positively correlated with degree of codon usage bias. (9)
Three proposed tests of the neutral theory of DNA polymorphisms have been
performed on the data: Tajima's test, the HKA test, and the
McDonald-Kreitman test. About half of the loci fail to conform to the
expectations of neutral theory by one of the tests. We conclude that many
variables are affecting levels of DNA polymorphism in Drosophila, from
properties of nucleotides to population history and, perhaps, mating
structure. No simple, all encompassing explanation satisfactorily accounts
for the data.

The sand rat, a member of the gerbil family, is a valuable small animal model in which intervertebral disc degeneration occurs spontaneously as the animal ages. Radiographic features of cervical and lumbar degeneration resemble those in human spines. We conducted a retrospective analysis of spines of 140 animals 3?41 months old focusing specifically on the presence of annular tears that are not visible by radiography and have not been described previously in the sand rat disc. During degeneration of the nucleus pulposus, notochordal cell death occurs and granular material, which stains with Alcian blue for proteoglycans, accumulates. Lamellar architecture also deteriorates and annular tears occur that are morphologically similar to the concentric, radiating and transdiscal annular tears in human discs. These tears contain granular material that provides a “marker” that can be used to distinguish the annular tears from artefactual separations during sectioning. We observed lamellar degeneration and separation in the annulus fibrosus at 4 months with associated tears that contained granular material in the nucleus. Tears that contained granular material and displacement of the degenerating nucleus were common in cervical and lumbar discs of animals older than 9 months; some specimens showed tears at 4 and 5 months. With advanced degeneration, granular globules were displaced dorsally adjacent to and into the spinal cord area and also ventrally into regions where osteophytes formed. We present morphologic data that expand the utility of this rodent model of spontaneous age-related disc degeneration and provide novel information on annular tears and disc degeneration. 相似文献

Background
Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of plague and a potential agent of bioterrorism and biowarfare. The plague biothreat and the emergence of multidrug-resistant plague underscore the need to increase our understanding of the intrinsic potential of Y. pestis for developing antimicrobial resistance and to anticipate the mechanisms of resistance that may emerge in Y. pestis. Identification of Y. pestis genes that, when overexpressed, are capable of reducing antibiotic susceptibility is a useful strategy to expose genes that this pathogen may rely upon to evolve antibiotic resistance via a vertical modality. In this study, we explored the use of a multicopy suppressor, Escherichia coli host-based screening approach as a means to expose antibiotic resistance determinant candidates in Y. pestis. 相似文献27.
Background
Arthropods are infected by a wide diversity of maternally transmitted microbes. Some of these manipulate host reproduction to facilitate population invasion and persistence. Such parasites transmit vertically on an ecological timescale, but rare horizontal transmission events have permitted colonisation of new species. Here we report the first systematic investigation into the influence of the phylogenetic distance between arthropod species on the potential for reproductive parasite interspecific transfer. 相似文献28.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) of the cell has an architectural editing function that checks whether protein structure and three-dimensional assembly have occurred properly prior to export of newly synthesized material out of the cell. If these have been faulty, the material is retained within the rER as an inclusion body. Inclusion bodies have been identified previously in chondrocytes and osteoblasts in chondrodysplasias and osteogenesis imperfecta. Inclusion bodies in intervertebral disc cells, however, have only recently been recognized. Our objectives were to use transmission electron microscopy to analyze more fully inclusion bodies in the annulus pulposus and to study the extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding cells containing inclusion bodies. ECM frequently encapsulated cells with inclusion bodies, and commonly contained prominent banded aggregates of Type VI collagen. Inclusion body material had several morphologies, including relatively smooth, homogeneous material, or a rougher, less homogeneous feature. Such findings expand our knowledge of the fine structure of the human disc cell and ECM during disc degeneration, and indicate the potential utility of ultrastructural identification of discs with intracellular inclusion bodies as a screening method for molecular studies directed toward identification of defective gene products in degenerating discs. 相似文献

Normal hip joint contact pressure distribution in single-leg standing--effect of gender and anatomic parameters. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A practical and easy-to-use analysis technique that can study the patient's hip joint contact force/pressure distribution would be useful to assess the effect of abnormal biomechanical conditions and anatomical deformities on joint contact stress for treatment planning purpose. This technique can also help to establish the normative database on hip joint contact pressure distribution in men and women in different age groups. Twelve anatomic parameters and seven biomechanical parameters of the hip joint in a normal population (41 females, 15 males) were calculated. The inter-parameter correlations were investigated. The pressure distribution in the hip joint was calculated using a three-dimensional discrete element analysis (DEA) technique. The 3D contact geometry of the hip joint was estimated from a 2D radiograph by assuming that the femoral head and the acetabular surface were spherical in shape. The head-trochanter ratio (HT), femoral head radius, pelvic height, the joint contact area, the normalized peak contact pressure, abductor force, and the joint contact force were significantly different between men and women. The normalized peak contact pressure was correlated both with acetabular coverage and head-trochanter ratio. Change of abductor force direction within normal variation did not affect the joint peak contact pressure. However, in simulated dysplastic conditions when the CE angle is small or negative, abductor muscle direction becomes very sensitive in joint contact pressure estimation. The models and the results presented can be used as the reference base in computer simulation for preoperative planning in pelvic or femoral osteotomy. 相似文献
