Noble crayfish (Astacus astacus L.), the most highly valued freshwater crayfish in Europe, is threatened due to a long-term population decline caused mainly by the spread of crayfish plague. Reintroduction of the noble crayfish into restored waters is a common practice but the geographic and genetic origin of stocking material has rarely been considered, partially because previous genetic studies have been hampered by lack of nuclear gene markers with known inheritance. This study represents the first large scale population genetic survey of the noble crayfish (633 adults from 18 locations) based on 10 newly developed microsatellite markers. We focused primarily on the Baltic Sea area (Estonia, Finland and Sweden) where the largest proportion of the remaining populations exists. To allow comparisons, samples from the Black Sea catchment (the Danube drainage) were also included. Two highly differentiated population groups were identified corresponding to the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea catchments, respectively. The Baltic Sea catchment populations had significantly lower genetic variation and private allele numbers than the Black Sea catchment populations. Within the Baltic Sea area, a clear genetic structure was revealed with population samples corresponding well to their geographic origin, suggesting little impact of long-distance translocations. The clear genetic structure strongly suggests that the choice of stocking material for re-introductions and supplemental releases needs to be based on empirical genetic knowledge. 相似文献

Homologous recombination (HR) has a major impact in bacterial evolution. Most of the knowledge about the mechanisms and control of HR in bacteria has been obtained in fast growing bacteria. However, in their natural environment bacteria frequently meet adverse conditions which restrict the growth of cells. We have constructed a test system to investigate HR between a plasmid and a chromosome in carbon-starved populations of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida restoring the expression of phenol monooxygenase gene pheA. Our results show that prolonged starvation of P. putida in the presence of phenol stimulates HR. The emergence of recombinants on selective plates containing phenol as an only carbon source for the growth of recombinants is facilitated by reactive oxygen species and suppressed by DNA mismatch repair enzymes. Importantly, the chromosomal location of the HR target influences the frequency and dynamics of HR events. In silico analysis of binding sites of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) revealed that chromosomal DNA regions which flank the test system in bacteria exhibiting a lower HR frequency are enriched in binding sites for a subset of NAPs compared to those which express a higher frequency of HR. We hypothesize that the binding of these proteins imposes differences in local structural organization of the genome that could affect the accessibility of the chromosomal DNA to HR processes and thereby the frequency of HR. 相似文献

In the starfish, Asterias amurensis, three components in the jelly coat of eggs, namely acrosome reaction-inducing substance (ARIS), Co-ARIS and asterosap, act in concert on homologous spermatozoa to induce the acrosome reaction (AR). Molecular recognition between the sperm surface molecules and the egg jelly molecules must underlie signal transduction events triggering the AR. Asterosap is a sperm-activating molecule, which stimulates rapid synthesis of intracellular cGMP, pH and Ca(2+). This transient elevation of Ca(2+) level is caused by a K(+)-dependent Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, and the increase of intracellular pH is sufficient for ARIS to induce the AR. The concerted action of ARIS and asterosap could induce elevate intracellular cAMP levels in starfish sperm and the sustained increase in [Ca(2+)], which is essential for the AR. The signaling pathway induced by these factors seems to be synergistically regulated to trigger the AR in starfish sperm. 相似文献

In order to test the effects of colony size and nutritional condition on the survivorship and sex ratio of ants, Myrmecina nipponica colonies were housed in a laboratory in colony sizes of 10 or 30 individuals and fed either daily or weekly. Under all conditions, most of the larvae successfully grew into adults, which suggests that survivorship was not significantly affected by either colony size or nutritional condition. However, the number of new queens was significantly higher in colonies that were fed daily. These results indicate that workers do not control the proportion of diploid and haploid broods by eliminating some larvae and that nutritional condition exerts a significant effect on sex ratio. 相似文献

Autosomal recessive disorders such as Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy, Walker–Warburg syndrome, and the muscle–eye–brain disease are characterized by defects in the development of patient's brain, eyes, and skeletal muscles. These syndromes are accompanied by brain malformations like type II lissencephaly in the cerebral cortex with characteristic overmigrations of neurons through the breaches of the pial basement membrane. The signaling pathways activated by laminin receptors, dystroglycan and integrins, control the integrity of the basement membrane, and their malfunctioning may underlie the pathologies found in the rise of defects reminiscent of these syndromes. Similar defects in corticogenesis and neuromuscular disorders were found in mice when RIC8A was specifically removed from neural precursor cells. RIC8A regulates a subset of G‐protein α subunits and in several model organisms, it has been reported to participate in the control of cell division, signaling, and migration. Here, we studied the role of RIC8A in the development of the brain, muscles, and eyes of the neural precursor‐specific conditional Ric8a knockout mice. The absence of RIC8A severely affected the attachment and positioning of radial glial processes, Cajal‐Retzius’ cells, and the arachnoid trabeculae, and these mice displayed additional defects in the lens, skeletal muscles, and heart development. All the discovered defects might be linked to aberrancies in cell adhesion and migration, suggesting that RIC8A has a crucial role in the regulation of cell–extracellular matrix interactions and that its removal leads to the phenotype characteristic to type II lissencephaly‐associated diseases. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in Europe. However, very little is known about genetic
diversity and structuring of noble crayfish populations, mainly because of the lack of informative genetic markers. We describe
the isolation and characterization of the first microsatellite markers for this species, which were obtained by screening
4,000 recombinant clones. Eight loci revealed polymorphisms in a panel of 172 individuals from seven populations in Northern
Europe. Number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 10 (average 4.4) and heterozygosity levels among populations varied
from 0 to 0.80 for H
o and from 0 to 0.72 for H
