The NH2-terminal Jun kinases (JNKs) function in diverse roles through phosphorylation and activation of AP-1 components including ATF2 and c-Jun. However, the genes that mediate these processes are poorly understood. A model phenotype characterized by rapid activation of Jun kinase and enhanced DNA repair following cisplatin treatment was examined using chromatin immunoprecipitation with antibodies against ATF2 and c-Jun or their phosphorylated forms and hybridization to promoter arrays. Following genotoxic stress, we identified 269 genes whose promoters are bound upon phosphorylation of ATF2 and c-Jun. Binding did not occur following treatment with transplatin or the JNK inhibitor SP600125 or JNK-specific siRNA. Of 89 known DNA repair genes represented on the array, 23 are specifically activated by cisplatin treatment within 3-6 hr. Thus, the genotoxic stress response occurs at least partly via activation of ATF2 and c-Jun, leading to large-scale coordinate gene expression dominated by genes of DNA repair. 相似文献

Down syndrome (DS) is one of the commonest disorders with huge medical and social cost. DS is associated with number of phenotypes including congenital heart defects, leukemia, Alzeihmer’s disease, Hirschsprung disease etc. DS individuals are affected by these phenotypes to a variable extent thus understanding the cause of this variation is a key challenge. In the present review article, we emphasize an overview of DS, DS-associated phenotypes diagnosis and management of the disease. The genes or miRNA involved in Down syndrome associated Alzheimer’s disease, congenital heart defects (AVSD), leukemia including AMKL and ALL, hypertension and Hirschprung disease are discussed in this article. Moreover, we have also reviewed various prenatal diagnostic method from karyotyping to rapid molecular methods - MLPA, FISH, QF-PCR, PSQ, NGS and noninvasive prenatal diagnosis in detail. 相似文献

Short tandem repeats are highly polymorphic sequences of nucleotides, which are abundant in eukaryotic genome. They form approximately
3% of the total human genome and occur on average in every 10, 000 nucleotides. Due to their small dimension, low mutation,
and high level of polymorphism, these markers are intensely used as important genetic markers for mapping studies, disease
diagnosis, and human identity testing. In the present study allelic distribution of four autosomal short tandem repeat markers
(D21S2055, D21S11, D21S1435 and D21S1411) has been analyzed in Indian population. For determination of heterogeneity and their
allelic frequency QF-PCR analysis have been done. All the loci were found highly polymorphic. Marker D21S1411 was the most
informative (93.6%) and D21S1435 (70.1%) was the least informative marker in Indian population. 相似文献

Well-saturated linkage maps especially those based on expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived genic molecular markers (GMMs)
are a pre-requisite for molecular breeding. This is especially true in important legumes such as chickpea where few simple
sequence repeats (SSR) and even fewer GMM-based maps have been developed. Therefore, in this study, 2,496 ESTs were generated
from chickpea seeds and utilized for the development of 487 novel EST-derived functional markers which included 125 EST-SSRs,
151 intron targeted primers (ITPs), 109 expressed sequence tag polymorphisms (ESTPs), and 102 single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs). Whereas EST-SSRs, ITPs, and ESTPs were developed by in silico analysis of the developed EST sequences, SNPs were identified
by allele resequencing and their genotyping was performed using the Illumina GoldenGate Assay. Parental polymorphism was analyzed
between C. arietinum ICC4958 and C. reticulatum PI489777, parents of the reference chickpea mapping population, using a total of 872 markers: 487 new gene-based markers
developed in this study along with 385 previously published markers, of which 318 (36.5%) were found to be polymorphic and
were used for genotyping. The genotypic data were integrated with the previously published data of 108 markers and an advanced
linkage map was generated that contained 406 loci distributed on eight linkage groups that spanned 1,497.7 cM. The average
marker density was 3.68 cM and the average number of markers per LG was 50.8. Among the mapped markers, 303 new genomic locations
were defined that included 177 gene-based and 126 gSSRs (genomic SSRs) thereby producing the most advanced gene-rich map of
chickpea solely based on co-dominant markers. 相似文献

Wetlands are important for biodiversity and are critical for human livelihoods, providing ecosystem services such as clean water, food and global climate regulation. Many wetlands are threatened by land-use conversion, but creating protected areas to conserve them can benefit both biodiversity and people. However, protected areas can also have socio-economic costs for local communities. At Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve in Nepal, there has been historical conflict over the creation of the reserve. In light of a recent proposal to expand the protected area, we explored the use of a rapid ecosystem service assessment tool (TESSA) to assess the impact of the reserve on some of the key ecosystem services the site provides. Based on the ecosystem services assessed we estimated that the economic value of KTWR as a protected area is $350,000 y?1 ($20 ha?1y?1) less than the value of the wetland in an unprotected state. However, this difference is relatively small and is affected by the limitations of the approach and sensitivity of the values to market prices and the assumptions made, so we cannot draw clear conclusions on the overall impact of the reserve in relation to local livelihoods. However, we found TESSA to be a useful tool for engaging with the stakeholder community and for highlighting the potential impacts that land use decisions can have on key ecosystem services. In the context of informing the potential expansion of the reserve, it is clear that further intensive socio-economic assessment of the potential costs and benefits is necessary. 相似文献

A limited number of mammalian proteins are modified by polysialic acid, with the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) being the most abundant of these. We hypothesize that polysialylation is a protein-specific glycosylation event and that an initial protein-protein interaction between polysialyltransferases and glycoprotein substrates mediates this specificity. To evaluate the regions of NCAM required for recognition and polysialylation by PST/ST8Sia IV and STX/ST8Sia II, a series of domain deletion proteins were generated, co-expressed with each enzyme, and their polysialylation analyzed. A protein consisting of the fifth immunoglobulin-like domain (Ig5), which contains the reported sites of polysialylation, and the first fibronectin type III repeat (FN1) was polysialylated by both enzymes, whereas a protein consisting of Ig5 alone was not polysialylated by either enzyme. This demonstrates that the Ig5 domain of NCAM and FN1 are sufficient for polysialylation, and suggests that the FN1 may constitute an enzyme recognition and docking site. Two other NCAM mutants, NCAM-6 (Ig1-5) and NCAM-7 (FN1-FN2), were weakly polysialylated by PST/ST8Sia IV, suggesting that a weaker enzyme recognition site may exist within the Ig domains, and that glycans in the FN region are polysialylated. Further analysis indicated that O-linked oligosaccharides in NCAM-7, and O-linked and N-linked glycans in full-length NCAM, are polysialylated when these proteins are co-expressed with the polysialyltransferases in COS-1 cells. Our data support a model in which the polysialyltransferases bind to the FN1 of NCAM to polymerize polysialic acid chains on appropriately presented glycans in adjacent regions. 相似文献
