N-Linked glycosylation of a baculovirus-expressed recombinant glycoprotein in insect larvae and tissue culture cells 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2
The potential of insect cell cultures and larvae infected with recombinant
baculoviruses to produce authentic recombinant glycoproteins cloned from
mammalian sources was investigated. A comparison was made of the N-linked
glycans attached to secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) produced in four
species of insect larvae and their derived cell lines plus one additional
insect cell line and larvae of one additional species. These data survey
N-linked oligosaccharides produced in four families and six genera of the
order Lepidoptera. Recombinant SEAP expressed by recombinant isolates of
Autographa californica and Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedroviruses was purified
from cell culture medium, larval hemolymph or larval homogenates by
phosphate affinity chromatography. The N-linked oligosaccharides were
released with PNGase-F, labeled with 8- aminonaphthalene-1-3-6-trisulfonic
acid, fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and analyzed by
fluorescence imaging. The oligosaccharide structures were confirmed with
exoglycosidase digestions. Recombinant SEAP produced in cell lines of
Lymantria dispar (IPLB-LdEIta), Heliothis virescens (IPLB-HvT1), and Bombyx
mori (BmN) and larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda, Trichoplusia ni ,
H.virescens , B.mori , and Danaus plexippus contained oligosaccharides that
were structurally identical to the 10 oligosaccharides attached to SEAP
produced in T.ni cell lines. The oligosaccharide structures were all
mannose-terminated. Structures containing two or three mannose residues,
with and without core fucosylation, constituted more than 75% of the
oligosaccharides from the cell culture and larval samples.

In situ hybridization at the electron microscope level: hybrid detection by autoradiography and colloidal gold 总被引:14,自引:4,他引:10 下载免费PDF全文
In situ hybridization has become a standard method for localizing DNA or RNA sequences in cytological preparations. We developed two methods to extend this technique to the transmission electron microscope level using mouse satellite DNA hybridization to whole mount metaphase chromosomes as the test system. The first method devised is a direct extension of standard light microscope level using mouse satellite DNA hybridization to whole mount metaphase chromosomes as the test system. The first method devised is a direct extension of standard light microscope in situ hybridization. Radioactively labeled complementary RNA (cRNA) is hybridized to metaphase chromosomes deposited on electron microscope grids and fixed in 70 percent ethanol vapor; hybridixation site are detected by autoradiography. Specific and intense labeling of chromosomal centromeric regions is observed even after relatively short exposure times. Inerphase nuclei present in some of the metaphase chromosome preparations also show defined paatterms of satellite DNA labeling which suggests that satellite-containing regions are associate with each other during interphase. The sensitivity of this method is estimated to at least as good as that at the light microscope level while the resolution is improved at least threefold. The second method, which circumvents the use of autoradiogrphic detection, uses biotin-labeled polynucleotide probes. After hybridization of these probes, either DNA or RNA, to fixed chromosomes on grids, hybrids are detected via reaction is improved at least threefold. The second method, which circumvents the use of autoradiographic detection, uses biotin-labeled polynucleotide probes. After hybridization of these probes, either DNA or RNA, to fixed chromosomes on grids, hybrids are detected via reaction with an antibody against biotin and secondary antibody adsorbed to the surface of over centromeric heterochromatin and along the associated peripheral fibers. Labeling is on average ten times that of background binding. This method is rapid and possesses the potential to allow precise ultrastructual localization of DNA sequences in chromosomes and chromatin. 相似文献

Kappa-chain constant-region gene sequences in genus Rattus: coding regions are diverging more rapidly than noncoding regions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 1,200-base pair (bp)
genomic fragment that includes the kappa-chain constant-region gene (C
kappa) from two species of native Australian rodents, Rattus leucopus
cooktownensis and Rattus colletti. Comparison of these sequences with each
other and with other rodent C kappa genes shows three surprising features.
First, the coding regions are diverging at a rate severalfold higher than
that of the nearby noncoding regions. Second, replacement changes within
the coding region are accumulating at a rate at least as great as that of
silent changes. Third, most of the amino acid replacements are localized in
one region of the C kappa domain--namely, the carboxy-terminal "bends" in
the alpha-carbon backbone. These three features have previously been
described from comparisons of the two allelic forms of C kappa genes in R.
norvegicus. These data imply the existence of considerable evolutionary
constraints on the noncoding regions (based on as yet undetermined
functions) or powerful positive selection to diversify a portion of the
constant-region domain (whose physiological significance is not known).
These surprising features of C kappa evolution appear to be characteristic
only of closely related C kappa genes, since comparison of rodent with
human sequences shows the expected greater conservation of coding regions,
as well as a predominance of silent nucleotide substitutions within the
coding regions.

Localization of acetylcholine receptors and synaptic ultrastructure at nerve-muscle contacts in culture: dependence on nerve type 总被引:7,自引:6,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
In cultures of xenopus myotomal muscle cells and spinal cord (SC) some of the nerve-muscle contacts exhibit a high density of acetylcholine receptors (AchRs [Anderson et al., 1977, J. Physiol. (Lond.). 268:731- 756,757-773]) and synaptic ultrastructure (Weldon and Cohen, 1979, J. Neurocytol. 8:239-259). We have examined whether similarly specialized contacts are established when the muscle cells are cultured with explants of xenopus dorsal root ganglia (DRG) or sympathetic ganglia (SG). The outgrowth from the ganglionic explants contained neuronal and non- neuronal cell processes. Although both types of processes approached within 100 A of muscle cells, synaptic ultrastructure was rarely observed at these contacts. Because patches of postsynaptic ultrastructure also develop on noncontacted muscle cells, the very few examples of contacts with such specializations probably occurred by chance. AChRs were stained with fluroscent α-bungarotoxin. More than 70 percent of the SC-contacted muscle cells exhibited a high receptor density along the path of contact. The corresponding values for DRG- and SG- contacted muscle cells were 10 and 6 percent. Similar values were obtained when the ganlionic and SC explants were cultured together in the same chamber. The few examples of high receptor density at ganglionic-muscle contacts resembled the characteristic receptor patches of noncontacted muscle cells rather than the narrow bands of high receptor density seen at SC-muscle contacts. In addition, more than 90 percent of these ganglionic- contacted muscle cells had receptor patches elsewhere, compared to less than 40 percent for the SC-contacted muscle cells. These findings indicate that the SC neurites possess a specific property which is important for the establishment of synaptically specialized contacts with muscle and that this property is lacking in the DRG and SG neurites. 相似文献

Molecular evolution in the gnd locus of Salmonella enterica 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The gnd gene, the structural gene for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, was
sequenced and analyzed in 34 isolates from different serovars of the seven
subspecies of Salmonella enterica to provide comparative information on the
evolution in this gene, which has been studied extensively in Escherichia
coli. The gene tree obtained by the neighbor- joining method in general
gave separate branches for each subspecies, with the few exceptions readily
explained by recombination. There is evidence of recombination involving
transfer of long (more than 400 bp) and short (30-150 bp) segments of DNA.
Four of the six long-segment transfers detected are at the 5' end of the
gene, and in all four cases a variant of the chi sequence is located close
to the recombination junction and appears to have mediated the
recombination events. We suggest that in these four cases and in a fifth
case with intersubspecies transfer of the whole gnd gene, the adjacent rfb
(O antigen) locus may have been transferred in the same event. The
estimates of the number of synonymous substitutions per synonymous site,
KS, and the number of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site,
KA, within the E. coli and S. enterica gnd genes, and also between the two
species show an interesting distribution, with KS being lower toward the
ends of the gene and KA in particular being lower in the first than in the
second domain. In S. enterica, synonymous sites also seem to be subjected
to negative selection. The ratio of KA to KS was higher within S. enterica
and E. coli than between them, which may indicate that intraspecies
variation is essentially between clones and that mildly deleterious
mutations can be fixed within clones, which would thus raise KA within
species.
