Background
Previous studies suggested that multiple domestication events in South and South-East Asia (Yunnan and surrounding areas) and India have led to the genesis of modern domestic chickens. Ha Giang province is a northern Vietnamese region, where local chickens, such as the H'mong breed, and wild junglefowl coexist. The assumption was made that hybridisation between wild junglefowl and Ha Giang chickens may have occurred and led to the high genetic diversity previously observed. The objectives of this study were i) to clarify the genetic structure of the chicken population within the Ha Giang province and ii) to give evidence of admixture with G. gallus. A large survey of the molecular polymorphism for 18 microsatellite markers was conducted on 1082 chickens from 30 communes of the Ha Giang province (HG chickens). This dataset was combined with a previous dataset of Asian breeds, commercial lines and samples of Red junglefowl from Thailand and Vietnam (Ha Noï). Measurements of genetic diversity were estimated both within-population and between populations, and a step-by-step Bayesian approach was performed on the global data set.Results
The highest value for expected heterozygosity (> 0.60) was found in HG chickens and in the wild junglefowl populations from Thailand. HG chickens exhibited the highest allelic richness (mean A = 2.9). No significant genetic subdivisions of the chicken population within the Ha Giang province were found. As compared to other breeds, HG chickens clustered with wild populations. Furthermore, the neighbornet tree and the Bayesian clustering analysis showed that chickens from 4 communes were closely related to the wild ones and showed an admixture pattern.Conclusion
In the absence of any population structuring within the province, the H'mong chicken, identified from its black phenotype, shared a common gene pool with other chickens from the Ha Giang population. The large number of alleles shared exclusively between Ha Giang chickens and junglefowl, as well as the results of a Bayesian clustering analysis, suggest that gene flow has been taking place from junglefowl to Ha Giang chickens. 相似文献35.

Interleukin 3 (IL 3) was initially defined as a factor in conditioned media from concanavalin A-stimulated lymphocytes (Con A CM) that induces the enzyme 20-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20 alpha SDH) in cultures of nu/nu splenic lymphocytes. To determine the spectrum of additional "biologic" activities, IL 3 was purified to homogeneity and its properties were assessed. The protein preparation was judged to be homogeneous IL 3 by the following criteria: 1) elution of a peak of IL 3 with a constant specific activity in the last step of purification, 2) presence of a single protein by SDS-PAGE analysis, 3) receptor-binding activity against IL 3-dependent cell lines, 4) a specific activity of congruent to 0.2 ng/ml required for 50% of maximal biologic activity, and 5) the presence of a single amino terminal sequence. With the use of this preparation of IL 3, the dose-response curves for 20 alpha SDH induction were identical or similar to the dose-response curves for the activities of 1) WEHI-3 growth factor, 2) mast cell growth factor, 3) P cell-stimulating factor, and 4) histamine-producing cell-stimulating factor. In addition, homogeneous IL 3 had colony-stimulating factor activity, although only approximately 2% of the total CSF activity found in Con A CM was associated with IL 3. The major peak of CSF activity could be resolved from IL 3 by DEAE column chromatography and lacked many of the biologic activities associated with IL 3. 相似文献

Positive selection and sequence rearrangements generate extensive polymorphism in the gamete recognition protein bindin 总被引:15,自引:12,他引:15
Bindin is a gamete recognition protein of sea urchins that mediates
species-specific attachment of sperm to an egg-surface receptor during
fertilization. Sequences of bindin from closely related urchins show fixed
species-specific differences. Within species, highly polymorphic bindin
alleles result from point substitution, insertion/deletion, and
recombination. Since speciation, positive selection favoring allelic
variants has generated diversity in bindin polypeptides. Intraspecific
bindin variation can be tolerated by the egg receptor, which suggests
functional parallels between this system and other flexible recognition
systems, including immune recognition. These results show that polymorphism
in mate recognition loci required for rapid evolution of sexual isolation
can arise within natural populations.

Using a radioimmunoassay for thymosin alpha 1, endogenous thymosin-like peptides were characterized in the rat brain and pituitary gland. Thymosin alpha 1-like peptides were present in high concentrations in hypothalamus and pituitary extracts. These peptides were characterized using gel filtration techniques and the main peak of immunoreactive thymosin had a molecular weight similar to that of thymosin alpha 1 (3108 daltons). Using HPLC techniques, one main peak of immunoreactivity was present in brain extracts, whereas two peaks were present in pituitary extracts, one of which coeluted with thymosin alpha 1. The discrete regional distribution of thymosin alpha 1-like peptides was investigated and the highest densities of immunoreactive thymosin were present in the median eminence and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, as well as the neurointermediate lobe of the pituitary. Due to the anatomical proximity of immunoreactive thymosin to loci containing known releasing factors and hormones, thymosin alpha 1-like peptides may function as neuroendocrine regulatory agents. 相似文献

Esophageal cancer involves multiple genetic alternations. A systematic codon usage bias analysis was completed to investigate the bias among the esophageal cancer responsive genes. GC-rich genes were low (average effective number of codon value was 49.28). CAG and GTA are over-represented and under-represented codons, respectively. Correspondence analysis, neutrality plot, and parity rule 2 plot analysis confirmed the dominance over mutation pressure in modulating the codon usage pattern of genes linked with esophageal cancer. 相似文献

Chronic treatment of BALB/c mice with ultraviolet (uv) radiation produces two distinct immunologic deficiencies. These deficiencies are apparent long before visible skin tumors are induced by the uv irradiation. One is reflected in a transient inability to develop delayed hypersensitivity to dinitrochlorobenzene and appears to be due to a defect in antigen processing. The other is expressed by the failure of mice to reject syngeneic uv-induced tumors, which are highly antigenic. This lack of tumor rejection can be passively transferred with lymphoid cells and seems to be due to the presence of specific suppressor lymphocytes. 相似文献
