Three satellite DNA families were identified in three species of burying
beetles, Nicrophorus orbicollis, N. marginatus, and N. americanus. Southern
hybridization and nucleotide sequence analysis of individual randomly
cloned repeats shows that these satellite DNA families are highly abundant
in the genome, are composed of unique repeats, and are species-specific.
The repeats do not have identifiable core elements or substructures that
are similar in all three families, and most interspecific sequence
similarity is confined to homopolymeric runs of A and T. Satellite DNA from
N. marginatus and N. americanus show single-base-pair indels among repeats,
but single-nucleotide substitutions characterize most of the repeat
variability. Although the repeat units are of similar lengths (342, 350,
and 354 bp) and A + T composition (65%, 71%, and 71%, respectively), the
average nucleotide divergence among sequenced repeats is very low (0.18%,
1.22%, and 0.71%, respectively). Transition/transversion ratios from the
consensus sequence are 0.20, 0.69, and 0.70, respectively.

The electrical properties of the frog taste cells during gustatory stimulations with distilled water and varying concentrations of NaCl were studied with intracellular microelectrodes. Under the Ringer adaptation of the tongue, two types of taste cells were distinguished by the gustatory stimuli. One type, termed NaCl-sensitive (NS) cells, responded to water with hyperpolarizations and responded to concentrated NaCl with depolarizations. In contrast, the other type of cells, termed water-sensitive (WS) cells, responded to water depolarizations and responded to concentrated NaCl with hyperpolarizations. The membrane resistance of both taste cell types increased during the hyperpolarizing receptor potentials and decreased during the depolarizing receptor potentials, Reversal potentials for the depolarizing and hyperpolarizing responses in each cell type were a few millivolts positive above the zero membrane potential. When the tongue was adapted with Na-free Ringer solution for 30 min, the amplitude of the depolarizing responses in the NS cells reduced to 50% of the control value under normal Ringer adaptation. On the basis of the present results, it is concluded (a) that the depolarizing responses of the NS and WS cells under the Ringer adaptation are produced by the permeability increase in some ions, mainly Na+ ions across the taste cell membranes, and (b) that the hyperpolarizing responses of both types of taste cells are produced by a decrease in the cell membrane permeability to some ions, probably Na+ ions, which is slightly enhanced during the Ringer adaptation. 相似文献

Molecular evidence for the rapid propagation of mouse t haplotypes from a single, recent, ancestral chromosome 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Mouse t haplotypes are variant forms of chromosome 17 that exist at high
frequencies in worldwide populations of two species of commensal mice. To
determine both the relationship of t haplotypes to each other and the
species within which they exist, 35 representative t haplotypes were
analyzed by means of 10 independent molecular probes, including five DNA
clones and five polypeptide spots identified by means of two- dimensional
gel electrophoresis. All of the tested haplotypes were found to share
restriction fragments and polypeptide spots that are absent in mice
carrying wild-type forms of chromosome 17. This observation provides the
first direct evidence that all of the known t haplotypes are descendents of
a single ancestral chromosome. The absence of variation among t haplotypes
could mean that this ancestral chromosome existed relatively recently, in
which case it would be necessary to postulate introgressions of t
haplotypes across species lines to explain their presence in both Mus
domesticus and M. musculus. Alternatively, it is possible that the
ancestral chromosome existed prior to the split between M. domesticus and
M. musculus and that, by chance, our probes fail to detect polymorphisms
that exist among the t haplotypes. A further result of our analysis is the
characterization of a partial t haplotype in a wild population of Israeli
mice.

A parsimony analysis was performed on restriction sites at the Hba-ps4
pseudogene locus within one of four inversions associated with mouse t
haplotypes. The results suggest that all t haplotypes form a monophyletic
group and that the in (17)4 inversion originated before the radiation of
the Mus musculus species complex but after the divergence of the lineages
leading to M. spretus, M. abbotti, and M. hortulanus. A time frame based on
the evolutionary rate of mouse pseudogenes places the origin of this t
haplotype inversion at 1.5 Mya, or approximately 1.5 Myr after the origin
of the more proximal t complex inversion, in (17)2. The accumulated
evidence indicates that complete t haplotypes have been assembled in a
stepwise manner, with each of these inversions occurring on separate
chromosomal lineages and at different evolutionary times. In addition, the
evolutionary relationships of pseudogene sequences resulting from genetic
exchange between wild-type and t haplotype alleles were examined. Analysis
of sequences from the 5' and 3' sides of a putative site of recombination
resulted in cladograms with different topologies. The implications for
hypotheses concerning the evolutionary forces acting on t haplotypes and
their rapid propagation throughout worldwide populations of mice are
discussed.

Three unique mutants of Arabidopsis identify eds loci required for limiting growth of a biotrophic fungal pathogen 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To identify components of the defense response that limit growth of a biotrophic fungal pathogen, we isolated Arabidopsis mutants with enhanced disease susceptibility to Erysiphe orontii. Our initial characterization focused on three mutants, eds14, eds15, and eds16. None of these is considerably more susceptible to a virulent strain of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola (Psm). All three mutants develop a hypersensitive response when infiltrated with Psm expressing the avirulence gene avrRpt2, which activates resistance via the LZ-NBS/LRR resistance protein encoded by RPS2. The growth of Psm(avrRpt2), while somewhat greater in the mutants than in the wild type, is less than growth of the isogenic virulent strain. These results indicate that resistance mediated via LZ-NBS/LRR R genes is functional. Analysis of the growth of avirulent Peronospora parasitica strains showed that the resistance pathway utilized by TIR-NBS/LRR R genes is also operative in all three mutants. Surprisingly, only eds14 and eds16 were more susceptible to Erysiphe cichoracearum. Analysis of the expression profiles of PR-1, BGL2, PR-5 and PDF1.2 in eds14, eds15, and eds16 revealed differences from the wild type for all the lines. In contrast, these mutants were not significantly different from wild type in the deposition of callose at sites of E. orontii penetration. All three mutants have reduced levels of salicylic acid after infection. eds16 was mapped to the lower arm of chromosome I and found by complementation tests to be allelic to the salicylic acid-deficient mutant sid2. 相似文献

Background
EtrA in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a model organism for study of adaptation to varied redox niches, shares 73.6% and 50.8% amino acid sequence identity with the oxygen-sensing regulators Fnr in E. coli and Anr in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively; however, its regulatory role of anaerobic metabolism in Shewanella spp. is complex and not well understood. 相似文献20.

We have now sufficient evidence that using electrical biosignals in the field of Alternative and Augmented Communication is
feasible. Additionally, they are particularly suitable in the case of people with severe motor impairment, e.g. people with
high-level spinal cord injury or with locked-up syndrome. Developing solutions for them implies that we find ways to use sensors
that fit the user's needs and limitations, which in turn impacts the specifications of the system translating the user's intentions
into commands. After devising solutions for a given user or profile, the system should be evaluated with an appropriate method,
allowing a comparison with other solutions. This paper submits a review of the way three bioelectrical signals - electromyographic,
electrooculographic and electroencephalographic - have been utilised in alternative communication with patients suffering
severe motor restrictions. It also offers a comparative study of the various methods applied to measure the performance of
AAC systems. 相似文献
