Mitochondrial DNAs of six morphologically different Phytophthora species were digested with 15 restriction enzymes. The numbers of restriction fragments obtained differed considerably from those theoretically expected for random base distribution. Enzymes with relatively many G and C in their recognition sequences produced significantly larger numbers of fragments. Moreover, fragments generated by most of these enzymes were more often shared by two or more species than those from enzymes with more A and T in their recognition sequence. It is concluded that base distribution in mitochondrial DNA of Phytophthora is heterogeneous,AT-rich stretches occurring scattered over the mitochondrial genome and GC-rich regions present in conserved sequences, presumably genes. A practical consequence for taxonomic RFLP studies is that optimal enzymes can be selected, depending on the desired level of resolution. 相似文献

The 18S ribosomal RNAs of 21 tetrapods were sequenced and aligned with five
published tetrapod sequences. When the coelacanth was used as an outgroup,
Lissamphibia (living amphibians) and Amniota (amniotes) were found to be
statistically significant monophyletic groups. Although little resolution
was obtained among the lissamphibian taxa, the amniote sequences support a
sister-group relationship between birds and mammals. Portions of the 28S
ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule in 11 tetrapods also were sequenced, although
the phylogenetic results were inconclusive. In contrast to previous
studies, deletion or down- weighting of base-paired sites were found to
have little effect on phylogenetic relationships. Molecular evidence for
amniote relationships is reviewed, showing that three genes
(beta-hemoglobin, myoglobin, and 18S rRNA) unambiguously support a
bird-mammal relationship, compared with one gene (histone H2B) that favors
a bird- crocodilian clade. Separate analyses of four other genes (alpha-
crystallin A, alpha-hemoglobin, insulin, and 28S rRNA) and a combined
analysis of all sequence data are inconclusive, in that different groups
are defined in different analyses and none are strongly supported. It is
suggested that until sequences become available from a broader array of
taxa, the molecular evidence is best evaluated at the level of individual
genes, with emphasis placed on those studies with the greatest number of
taxa and sites. When this is done, a bird-mammal relationship is most
strongly supported. When regarded in combination with the morphological
evidence for this association, it must be considered at least as plausible
as a bird-crocodilian relationship.

Protein crystallography, mapping protein interactions, and other functional genomic approaches require purifying many different proteins, each of sufficient yield and homogeneity, for subsequent high-throughput applications. To fill this requirement efficiently, there is a need to develop robust, automated, high-throughput protein expression, and purification processes. We developed and compared two alternative workflows for automated purification of recombinant proteins based on expression of bacterial genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli). The first is a filtration separation protocol in which proteins of interest are expressed in a large volume, 800 ml of E. coli cultures, then isolated by filtration purification using Ni-NTA-Agarose (Qiagen). The second is a smaller scale magnetic separation method in which proteins of interest are expressed in a small volume, 25 ml, of E. coli cultures then isolated using a 96-well purification system with MagneHis Ni2+ Agarose (Promega). Both workflows provided comparable average yields of proteins, about 8 microg of purified protein per optical density unit of bacterial culture measured at 600 nm. We discuss advantages and limitations of these automated workflows, which can provide proteins with more than 90% purity and yields in the range of 100 microg to 45 mg per purification run, as well as strategies for optimizing these protocols. 相似文献

Background
We investigated the molecular basis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using Opticin (OPTC) as a candidate gene on the basis of its expression in the trabecular meshwork cells involved in the disease pathogenesis. Two hundred POAG patients and 100 controls were enrolled in this study. The coding sequence of OPTC was amplified by PCR from genomic DNA of POAG patients, followed by SSCP, DHPLC and DNA sequencing. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis, site-directed mutagenesis, quantitative RT-PCR and western blot experiments were performed to address the functional significance of a 'silent' change in the OPTC coding region while screening for mutations in POAG patients. 相似文献8.

Affinity isolation of protein complexes followed by protein identification by LC-MS/MS is an increasingly popular approach for mapping protein interactions. However, systematic and random assay errors from multiple sources must be considered to confidently infer authentic protein-protein interactions. To address this issue, we developed a general, robust statistical method for inferring authentic interactions from protein prey-by-bait frequency tables using a binomial-based likelihood ratio test (LRT) coupled with Bayes' Odds estimation. We then applied our LRT-Bayes' algorithm experimentally using data from protein complexes isolated from Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Our algorithm, in conjunction with the experimental protocol, inferred with high confidence authentic interacting proteins from abundant, stable complexes, but few or no authentic interactions for lower-abundance complexes. The algorithm can discriminate against a background of prey proteins that are detected in association with a large number of baits as an artifact of the measurement. We conclude that the experimental protocol including the LRT-Bayes' algorithm produces results with high confidence but moderate sensitivity. We also found that Monte Carlo simulation is a feasible tool for checking modeling assumptions, estimating parameters, and evaluating the significance of results in protein association studies. 相似文献

The effect of the administration of the mycotoxins OTA, ZEA and DON alone resp. in combination on animal health and the residue behavior of pigs from 50 – 60 kg living weight over 90 days was investigated in 4 separate studies. Due to its fast metabolisation the administration of 1000 µg DON resp. 250 µg ZEA per kg feed alone or in combination with other mycotoxins does not lead to detectable residues of these mycotoxins in organs and tissues. Therefore these mycotoxins should not be relevant to the consumer.There is an effect of the simultaneous administration of ZEA resp. DON on the metabolisation resp. secretion of OTA. OTA is of relevance from the point of view of residue toxicology. 相似文献
