The Mhc is a highly conserved gene region especially interesting to geneticists because of the rapid evolution of gene families found within it. High levels of Mhc genetic diversity often exist within populations. The chicken Mhc is the focus of considerable interest because of the strong, reproducible infectious disease associations found with particular Mhc-B haplotypes. Sequence data for Mhc-B haplotypes have been lacking thereby hampering efforts to systematically resolve which genes within the Mhc-B region contribute to well-defined Mhc-B-associated disease responses. To better understand the genetic factors that generate and maintain genomic diversity in the Mhc-B region, we determined the complete genomic sequence for 14 Mhc-B haplotypes across a region of 59 kb that encompasses 14 gene loci ranging from BG1 to BF2. We compared the sequences using alignment, phylogenetic, and genome profiling methods. We identified gene structural changes, synonymous and non-synonymous polymorphisms, insertions and deletions, and allelic gene rearrangements or exchanges that contribute to haplotype diversity. Mhc-B haplotype diversity appears to be generated by a number of mutational events. We found evidence that some Mhc-B haplotypes are derived by whole- and partial-allelic gene conversion and homologous reciprocal recombination, in addition to nucleotide mutations. These data provide a framework for further analyses of disease associations found among these 14 haplotypes and additional haplotypes segregating and evolving in wild and domesticated populations of chickens. 相似文献

Continuous genomic sequence has been previously determined for the swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) class I region from the TNF gene cluster at the border between the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III and class I regions to the UBD gene at the telomeric end of the classical class I gene cluster (SLA-1 to SLA-5, SLA-9, SLA-11). To complete the genomic sequence of the entire SLA class I genomic region, we have analyzed the genomic sequences of two
BAC clones carrying a continuous 237,633-bp-long segment spanning from the TRIM15 gene to the UBD gene located on the telomeric side of the classical SLA class I gene cluster. Fifteen non-class I genes, including the zinc
finger and the tripartite motif (TRIM) ring-finger-related family genes and olfactory receptor genes, were identified in the
238-kilobase (kb) segment, and their location in the segment was similar to their apparent human homologs. In contrast, a
human segment (alpha block) spanning about 375 kb from the gene ETF1P1 and from the HLA-J to HLA-F genes was absent from the 238-kb swine segment. We conclude that the gene organization of the MHC non-class I genes located
in the telomeric side of the classical SLA class I gene cluster is remarkably similar between the swine and the human segments,
although the swine lacks a 375-kb segment corresponding to the human alpha block.

There are five polymorphic Alu insertion (POALIN) loci within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region that have been strongly associated with HLA class I alleles, such as HLA-A1, HLA-A2 and HLA-B57. In order to assess the variability and frequency of POALIN distribution within two common HLA-B haplotypes, we detected the presence of the MHC class I POALIN by PCR in a panel of 15 individuals with HLA-B57 and 47 homozygous individuals with 7.1 AH (HLA-B7, -Cw7, -A3) obtained from the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry, and also from four families (25 individuals) containing the HLA-B57 allele. Only two of the 47 HLA-B7 genotypes had a detectable POALIN, whereas all of the HLA-B57 genotypes had at least one or more POALINs present, confirming that certain MHC class I haplotypes are relatively POALIN-free and others are POALIN-enriched. Six distinct HLA-B57 haplotypes, based on differences at the HLA-A locus and three of five POALIN loci, were identified that appear to have evolved by different mechanisms, including either by shuffling different combinations of conserved alpha and beta blocks or by recombination events involving two or more previously generated HLA-B57 haplotypes. 相似文献

Abstract
The human S100 gene family encodes the EF-hand superfamily of calcium-binding proteins, with at least 14 family members clustered
relatively closely together on chromosome 1q21. We have analyzed the most recently available genomic sequence of the human
S100 gene cluster for evidence of tandem gene duplications during primate evolutionary history. The sequences obtained from
both GenBank and GoldenPath were analyzed in detail using various comparative sequence analysis tools. We found that of the
S100A genes clustered relatively closely together within a genomic region of 260 kb, only the S100A7 (psoriasin) gene region
showed evidence of recent duplications. The S100A7 gene duplicated region is composed of three distinct genomic regions, 33,
11, and 31 kb, respectively, that together harbor at least five identifiable S100A7-like genes. Regions 1 and 3 are in opposite
orientation to each other, but each region carries two S100A7-like genes separated by an 11-kb intergenic region (region 2)
that has only one S100A7-like gene, providing limited sequence resemblance to regions 1 and 3. The duplicated genomic regions
1 and 3 share a number of different retroelements including five Alu subfamily members that serve as molecular clocks. The
shared (paralogous) Alu S insertions suggest that regions 1 and 3 were probably duplicated during or after the phase of AluS
amplification some 30–40 mya. We used PCR to amplify an indel within intron 1 of the S100A7a and S100A7c genes that gave the
same two expected product sizes using 40 human DNA samples and 1 chimpanzee sample, therefore confirming the presence of the
region 1 and 3 duplication in these species. Comparative genomic analysis of the other S100 gene members shows no similarity
between intergenic regions, suggesting that they diverged long before the emergence of the primates. This view was supported
by the phylogenetic analysis of different human S100 proteins including the human S100A7 protein members. The S100A7 protein,
also known as psoriasin, has important functions as a mediator and regulator in skin differentiation and disease (psoriasis),
in breast cancer, and as a chemotactic factor for inflammatory cells. This is the first report of five copies of the S100A7
gene in the human genome, which may impact on our understanding of the possible dose effects of these genes in inflammation
and normal skin development and pathogenesis. 相似文献

Genome analysis of the swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) region is needed to obtain information on the MHC genomic sequence similarities and differences between the swine and human, given the possible use of swine organs for xenotransplantation. Here, the genomic sequences of a 433-kb segment located between the non-classical and classical SLA class I gene clusters were determined and analyzed for gene organization and contents of repetitive sequences. The genomic organization and diversity of this swine non-class I gene region was compared with the orthologous region of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex. The length of the fully sequenced SLA genomic segment was 433 kb compared with 595 kb in the corresponding HLA class I region. This 162-kb difference in size between the swine and human genomic segments can be explained by indel activity, and the greater variety and density of repetitive sequences within the human MHC. Twenty-one swine genes with strong sequence similarity to the corresponding human genes were identified, with the gene order from the centromere to telomere of HCR - SPR1 - SEEK1 - CDSN - STG - DPCR1 - KIAA1885 - TFIIH - DDR - IER3 - FLOT1 - TUBB - KIAA0170 - NRM - KIAA1949 - DDX16 - FLJ13158 - MRPS18B - FB19 - ABCFI - CAT56. The human SEEK1 and DPCR1 genes are pseudogenes in swine. We conclude that the swine non-class I gene region that we have sequenced is highly conserved and therefore homologous to the corresponding region located between the HLA-C and HLA-E genes in the human.The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to DDBJ, EMBL and GenBank databases under accession numbers AB113354, AB113355, AB113356, AB113357 相似文献

We have previously shown that several multicopy gene families within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) arose from
a process of segmental duplication. It has also been observed that retroelements play a role in generating diversity within
these duplicated segments. The objective of this study was to compare the genomic organization of a gene duplication within
another multicopy gene family outside the MHC. Using new continuous genomic sequence encompassing the APOE-CII gene cluster,
we show that APOCI and its pseudogene, APOCI′, are contained within large duplicated segments which include sequences from
the hepatic control region (HCR). Flanking Alu sequences are observed at both ends of the duplicated unit, suggesting a possible
role in the integration of these segments. As observed previously within the MHC, the major differences between the segments
are the insertion of sequences (approximately 200–1000 bp in length), consisting predominantly of Alu sequences. Ancestral
retroelements also contribute to the generation of sequence diversity between the segments, especially within the 3′ poly(A)
tract of Alu sequences. The exonic and regulatory sequences of the APOCI and HCR loci show limited sequence diversity, with
exon 3 being an exception. Finally, the typing of pre- and postduplication Alus from both segments indicates an estimated
time of duplication of approximately 37 million years ago (mya), some time prior to the separation of Old and New World monkeys.

The class I region of the major histocompatibility complex contains two subgenomic blocks (250–350 kb each), known as the
alpha and beta blocks. These blocks contain members of multicopy gene families including HLA class I, HERV-16 (previously
called P5 sequences), and PERB11 (MIC). We have previously shown that each block consists of imperfect duplicated segments
(duplicons) containing linked members of different gene families, retroelements and transposons that have coevolved as part
of two separate evolutionary events. Another region provisionally designated here as the kappa block is located between the
alpha and the beta blocks and contains HLA-E, -30, and -92, HERV-16 (P5.3), and PERB11.3 (MICC) within about 250 kb of sequence.
Using Alu elements to trace the evolutionary relationships between different class I duplicons, we have found that (a) the
kappa block contains paralogous (duplicated) Alu J sequences and other retroelement patterns more in common with the beta
than the alpha block; (b) the retroelement pattern associated with the HLA-E duplicon is different from all other HLA class
I duplicons, indicating a more complex evolution; (c) the HLA-92 duplicon, although substantially shorter, is closely related
in sequence to the HLA-B and -C duplicons; (d) two of the six paralogous Alu J elements within the HLA-B and -C duplicons
are associated with the HLA-X duplicon, confirming their evolutionary relationships within the beta block; and (e) the paralogous
Alu J elements within the alpha block are distinctly different from those identified within the beta and kappa blocks. The
sequence conservation and location of duplicated (paralogous) Alu J elements in the MHC class I region show that the beta
and kappa blocks have evolved separately from the alpha block beginning at a time before or during the evolution of Alu J
elements in primates.
