Ninety-six alleles (36 alleles of Japanese and 60 of Caucasian origin) from forty-eight patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA were investigated for structural gene alterations using Southern blot analysis. All patients had a previously demonstrated deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate-sulfatase and exhibited a wide spectrum of clinical severity. Initially, using the fulllength cDNA as a probe, five of 36 chromosomes from the Japanese patients revealed similar rearrangements with respect to DNA digested with BamHI, SacI, and XhoI. Subsequent analysis using seven genomic fragments, covering the entire gene, enhanced the detection of aberrant fragments produced by the above restriction enzymes. Conversely, the 60 chromosomes of Caucasian origin revealed no evidence of large structural rearrangements when analyzed by these methods. There was a statistically significant difference between the two populations (P < 0.01). A severely affected Japanese patient showed structural rearrangements on both chromosomes by means of BamHI blots. An 8.0-kb fragment and a highly polymorphic 7.0-kb to 11.0-kb fragment present in normal individuals disappeared and two aberrant fragments of 11.5 kb and 12.0 kb were observed. Three other Japanese patients also showed these two aberrant fragments, in addition to the normal fragment pattern, and were thus heterozygous for this rearrangement. Interpretation of Southern blots was difficult because of the complexity of polymorphic bands resulting from variable number of tandem repeat elements. However, by utilizing these aberrant fragments or polymorphic bands, carrier detection was effective, even in families with poorly characterized mutations. Hybridization with probe MG-A (5end genomic probe in intron 1) showed a 8.4-kb fragment in BamHI blots of one Japanese and one Caucasian patient; XhoI, SacI, and EcoRI blots were normal. Since this BamHI alteration was also observed in one normal control, it appears to be a rare nonpathological polymorphism. 相似文献

Seven different restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) locus were analyzed using Southern blotting and polymerase chain reaction based techniques to search for the frequency of each RFLP produced by StyI, SphI, HaeIII, StuI, HapII, XhoI, and BamHI restriction endonucleases, respectively, in 36 mutant alleles, including two sibling cases and 100 normal alleles. Calculation of heterozygosity indexes showed that these RFLPs were polymorphic, ranging from 0.31 to 0.69 in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) patients compared with 0.21 to 0.65 in normal individuals. There was some significant difference in several RFLPs and in the combination with four kinds of RFLPs (SphI, StuI, HapII, XhoI polymorphisms). The normal alleles were composed of 13 different RFLPs haplotypes; the most common among the Japanese population carrying normal alleles was haplotype 8 (bDEF1) (31.3%), the others being dispersed. The same haplotype 8 was the most frequent in the mutant alleles (44.4%), with seven further haplotypes. These findings revealed the striking variety of polymorphic haplotypes in the MPS IVA gene. By using these five kinds of RFLPs, we examined the theoretical informativity of haplotype analysis in heterozygote detection in nine unrelated MPS IVA families and ten unrelated normal families. All the members of the MPS IVA families studied were diagnosed as a patient, carrier, or noncarrier. We propose that prenatal diagnosis or family analysis in cases in which mutations have not been characterized is now feasible. 相似文献

Ligation, the joining of DNA fragments, is a fundamental procedure in molecular cloning and is indispensable to the production of genetically modified organisms that can be used for basic research, the applied biosciences, or both. Given that many genes cooperate in various pathways, incorporating multiple gene cassettes in tandem in a transgenic DNA construct for the purpose of genetic modification is often necessary when generating organisms that produce multiple foreign gene products. Here, we describe a novel method, designated PRESSO (precise sequential DNA ligation on a solid substrate), for the tandem ligation of multiple DNA fragments. We amplified donor DNA fragments with non-palindromic ends, and ligated the fragment to acceptor DNA fragments on solid beads. After the final donor DNA fragments, which included vector sequences, were joined to the construct that contained the array of fragments, the ligation product (the construct) was thereby released from the beads via digestion with a rare-cut meganuclease; the freed linear construct was circularized via an intra-molecular ligation. PRESSO allowed us to rapidly and efficiently join multiple genes in an optimized order and orientation. This method can overcome many technical challenges in functional genomics during the post-sequencing generation. 相似文献

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase encoded by the GALNS gene on chromosome 16. We describe, in detail, the clinical phenotype of five patients from three unrelated Finnish families and have characterized the disease-causing mutations in GALNS. Genotypes of the patients are D60N/A291T, D60N/W230X, and D60N/1374delT. Mutation 1374delT introduces premature termination of GALNS. Cells over-expressing the novel mutation W230X and A291T had no residual GALNS activity, whereas D60N gave 12.2% residual activity compared with the wild type. Co-transfection of D60N/A291T and D60N/W230X showed 5.5% and 6.7% of wild type activity, respectively. The precursor proteins of D60N and A291T were observed at 55 kDa and 57 kDa, respectively, whereas there was no detectable band in cells over-expressing W230X. At 55 degrees C, the mutant protein showed lower thermostability than the wild type protein at pH 3.8 and 7.0. The tertiary structural model of the GALNS protein revealed that aspartic acid at position 60 is located on the surface of the molecule, away from the active site. This makes it unlikely that the enzymatic function of the protein with D60N is severely impaired. On the other hand, A291 and W230 are localized near the active site. The molecular characteristics of the D60N mutation explain the attenuated clinical phenotype of the patients. 相似文献

Peroxisome-biogenesis disorders (PBD) are genetically heterogeneous and can be classified into at least ten complementation groups. We recently isolated the cDNA for rat peroxisome assembly factor-2 (PAF-2) by functional complementation using the peroxisome-deficient Chinese-hamster-ovary cell mutant, ZP92. To clarify the novel pathogenic gene of PBD, we cloned the full-length human PAF-2 cDNA that morphologically and biochemically restores peroxisomes of group C Zellweger fibroblasts (the same as group 4 in the Kennedy-Krieger Institute) and identified two pathogenic mutations in the PAF-2 gene in two patients with group C Zellweger syndrome. The 2,940-bp open reading frame of the human PAF-2 cDNA encodes a 980-amino-acid protein that shows 87.1% identity with rat PAF-2 and also restored the peroxisome assembly after gene transfer to fibroblasts of group C patients. Direct sequencing of the PAF-2 gene revealed a homozygous 1-bp insertion at nucleotide 511 (511 insT) in one patient with group C Zellweger syndrome (ZS), which introduces a premature termination codon in the PAF-2 gene, and, in the second patient, revealed a splice-site mutation in intron 3 (IVS3+1G-->A), which skipped exon 3, an event that leads to peroxisome deficiency. Chromosome mapping utilizing FISH indicates that PAF-2 is located on chromosome 6p21.1. These results confirm that human PAF-2 cDNA restores peroxisome of group C cells and that defects in the PAF-2 produce peroxisome deficiency of group C PBD. 相似文献

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a genetic defect in N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate
sulfatase (GALNS). In previous studies, we have found two common mutations in Caucasians and Japanese, respectively. To characterize
the mutational spectrum in various ethnic groups, mutations in the GALNS gene in Colombian MPS IVA patients were investigated,
and genetic backgrounds were extensively analyzed to identify racial origin, based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages.
Three novel missense mutations never identified previously in other populations and found in 16 out of 19 Colombian MPS IVA
unrelated alleles account for 84.2% of the alleles in this study. The G301C and S162F mutations account for 68.4% and 10.5%
of mutations, respectively, whereas the remaining F69V is limited to a single allele. The skewed prevalence of G301C in only
Colombian patients and haplotype analysis by restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the GALNS gene suggest that G301C
originated from a common ancestor. Investigation of the genetic background by means of mtDNA lineages indicate that all our
patients are probably of native American descent.

The gobiid fish, Trimma caudomaculatum, lives in groups. We investigated group structure, mating system and bidirectional sex change of this species. Four groups examined contained more than two males. The males were significantly larger than the females. By the observations in aquarium, the males occupied a nest and the females visited the nest for spawning. While there was no specific pair bond, the males mated with multiple females. Hence, this species establishes multi-male groups. In the experiments, four larger females had changed sex to male among 25 females. The smallest male changed to female in the group of four males. 相似文献
