Twenty eight microsatellite markers were used to analyze genetic divergence in tandem dinucleotide repeated DNA regions between
two edaphic subpopulations of Triticum dicoccoides growing on the contrasting terra rossa and basalt soilsfrom a microsite at Tabigha, north of the Sea of Galilee, Israel. The
terra rossa soil niche was drier and more stressful than the basalt throughout the growing season (November to May). Significant
microsatellite divergence in allele distribution, repeat length, genetic diversity, and linkage disequilibria were found between
emmer wheat from the two soil types over two short transects of 100 m each. Soil-specific and -unique alleles and linkage disequilibria were observed in the terra rossa and basalt subpopulations. A permutation test showed that
the effects of random genetic drift were very low for the significant genetic diversity at microsatellite loci between the
two subpopulations, suggesting that an adaptive molecular pattern derived by edaphic selection may act upon variation of the
microsatellites.

With the availability of genome sequences, the possibility of new phylogenetic reconstructions arises in order to reveal genomic relationships among organisms. According to the compositional-spectra (CS) approach proposed in our previous studies, any genomic sequence can be characterized by a distribution of frequencies of imperfect matching of words (oligonucleotides). In the current application of CS-analysis, we attempted to analyze the cluster structure of genomes across life. It appeared that compositional spectra show a clear three-group clustering of the compared prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Unexpectedly, this grouping seriously differs from the classical Universal Tree of Life structure represented by common kingdoms known as Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, and Eukarya. The revealed CS-clustering displays high stability, putatively reflecting its objective nature, and still enigmatic biological significance that may result from convergent evolution driven by ecological selection. We believe that our approach provides a new and wider (compared to traditional methods) perspective of extracting genomic information of high evolutionary relevance. 相似文献

Exposure to ionizing radiation has long been suspected to increase mutation load in humans. Nevertheless, such events as atomic bombing seem not to have yielded significant genetic defects. The Chernobyl accident created a different, long-term exposure to radiation. Clean-up teams (or 'liquidators') of the Chernobyl reactor are among those who received the highest doses, presumably in some combination of acute and chronic forms. In this study, children born to liquidator families (currently either in the Ukraine or Israel) conceived after (CA) parental exposure to radiation were screened for the appearance of new fragments using multi-site DNA fingerprinting. Their sibs conceived before (CB) exposure served as critical internal controls, in addition to external controls (non-exposed families). An unexpectedly high (sevenfold) increase in the number of new bands in CA individuals compared with the level seen in controls was recorded. A strong tendency for the number of new bands to decrease with elapsed time between exposure and offspring conception was established for the Ukrainian families. These results indicate that low doses of radiation can induce multiple changes in human germline DNA. 相似文献

We analysed a diploid population model with a mixed breeding system that includes panmixia and apomixis. Each individual produces a part (ss) of its progeny by random mating, the remainder (1-ss) being a result of precise copying (vegetative reproduction or apomixis) of the parental genotype. Both constant and periodically varying selection regimes were considered. In the main model, the selected trait was controlled by two diallelic additive or semidominant loci, A/a and B/b, whereas the parameter of breeding system (ss) was genotype-independent. A numerical iteration of the evolutionary equations were used to evaluate the proportion (V) of population trajectories converging to internal (polymorphic) fixed points. The results were the following. (a) A complex pattern of dependence of polymorphism stability on interaction among the breeding system, recombination rate, and the genetic architecture of the selected trait emerged. (b) The recombination provided some advantage to sex at intermediate period lengths and strong-to-moderate selection intensities. (c) The complex limiting behavior (CLB) was quite compatible with sexual reproduction, at least within the framework of pure genetic (not including variations in population density) models of multilocus varying selection. 相似文献

RIPK2 mediates inflammatory signaling by the bacteria‐sensing receptors NOD1 and NOD2. Kinase inhibitors targeting RIPK2 are a proposed strategy to ameliorate NOD‐mediated pathologies. Here, we reveal that RIPK2 kinase activity is dispensable for NOD2 inflammatory signaling and show that RIPK2 inhibitors function instead by antagonizing XIAP‐binding and XIAP‐mediated ubiquitination of RIPK2. We map the XIAP binding site on RIPK2 to the loop between β2 and β3 of the N‐lobe of the kinase, which is in close proximity to the ATP‐binding pocket. Through characterization of a new series of ATP pocket‐binding RIPK2 inhibitors, we identify the molecular features that determine their inhibition of both the RIPK2‐XIAP interaction, and of cellular and in vivoNOD2 signaling. Our study exemplifies how targeting of the ATP‐binding pocket in RIPK2 can be exploited to interfere with the RIPK2‐XIAP interaction for modulation of NOD signaling. 相似文献

Background
The vertebrate brain plays a critical role in the regulation of sexual maturation and reproduction by integrating environmental information with developmental and endocrine status. The European eel Anguilla anguilla is an important species in which to better understand the neuroendocrine factors that control reproduction because it is an endangered species, has a complex life cycle that includes two extreme long distance migrations with both freshwater and seawater stages and because it occupies a key position within the teleost phylogeny. At present, mature eels have never been caught in the wild and little is known about most aspects of reproduction in A. anguilla. The goal of this study was to identify genes that may be involved in sexual maturation in experimentally matured eels. For this, we used microarrays to compare the gene expression profiles of sexually mature to immature males.Results
Using a false discovery rate of 0.05, a total of 1,497 differentially expressed genes were identified. Of this set, 991 were expressed at higher levels in brains (forebrain and midbrain) of mature males while 506 were expressed at lower levels relative to brains of immature males. The set of up-regulated genes includes genes involved in neuroendocrine processes, cell-cell signaling, neurogenesis and development. Interestingly, while genes involved in immune system function were down-regulated in the brains of mature males, changes in the expression levels of several receptors and channels were observed suggesting that some rewiring is occurring in the brain at sexual maturity.Conclusions
This study shows that the brains of eels undergo major changes at the molecular level at sexual maturity that may include re-organization at the cellular level. Here, we have defined a set of genes that help to understand the molecular mechanisms controlling reproduction in eels. Some of these genes have previously described functions while many others have roles that have yet to be characterized in a reproductive context. Since most of the genes examined here have orthologs in other vertebrates, the results of this study will contribute to the body of knowledge concerning reproduction in vertebrates as well as to an improved understanding of eel biology.Electronic supplementary material

Background
ICI 182,780 (ICI) belongs to a new class of antiestrogens developed to be pure estrogen antagonists and, in addition to its therapeutic use, it has been used to knock-out estrogen and estrogen receptor (ER) actions in several mammalian species. In the present study, the effects and mechanism of action of ICI were investigated in the teleost fish, sea bream (Sparus auratus). 相似文献48.
A general haploid selection model with arbitrary number of multiallelic loci and arbitrary linkage distribution is considered.
The population is supposed to be panmictic. A dynamically equivalent diploid selection model is introduced. There is a position effect in this model if the original haploid selection is not multiplicative. If haploid selection is additive then the fundamental
theorem is established even with an estimate for the change in the mean fitness. On this basis exponential convergence to
an equilibrium is proved. As rule, the limit states are single-gamete ones. If, moreover, linkage is tight, then the single-gamete state with maximal fitness attracts the population for almost all initial states.

To classify different types of cyclic selection, a measure of fitness disequilibrium was used, and a class of systems were considered where this measure has the same sign in all states (sign-concordant environments). The necessary conditions for existence of a fixed point (considering any moment within the period as a referring one) are obtained for sign-concordant systems. However, analytical study of such systems, in the case of selection for equal additive genes, and numerical testing of more general situations, allowed us to conclude that no polymorphism is possible. In the alternative class of sign-concordant systems, polymorphism is possible. However, we found that global stability is an exception rather than a rule for sign-nonconcordant systems. Massive numerical simulations of selection in a four-state environment were made for cycle lengths in the range 8–28 and with evenly distributed selection coefficients. The proportion of polymorphic regimes ranged up to about 1.5%, and was dependent on the recombination rate between the loci. It should be stressed, that polymorphism maintenance in the haploid systems, when it is possible, can not be considered as an effect derived from constant selection, or be a result of any hidden form of heterozygous advantage. In other words, polymorphism stability is causally connected with environmental fluctuations. Equally important is that this effect of fluctuations is only possible because of recombination: in single locus systems haploid cyclical selection is unable to produce protected polymorphism. 相似文献
