The major phenotypic features of Down syndrome have been correlated with partial trisomies of chromosome 21, allowing us to define the candidate gene region to a 4-Mb segment on the 21q22.2 band. We present here a high-resolution physical map with megabase-sized cosmid/PAC contigs. This ordered clone library has provided unique material for the integration of a variety of mappable objects, including exons, cDNAs, restriction sites, etc. Furthermore, our results have exemplified a strategy for the completion of the chromosome 21 map to sequencing. 相似文献

To help in isolating the genes involved in Down syndrome, wesought CpG islands in 4 Mb cosmid/PAC contigs spanning mostof the 21q.22.2 band using seven rare cutting enzymes. A strikingfeature was observed upstream of hSIM2 where at least 41 rare-cuttingsites were clustered within a 20-kb region. To investigate thestructure of the cluster, a cosmid containing hSIM2 was submittedto shotgun sequencing. Sequence analysis revealed that the clusterwas a long CpG island extending 19, 128 nucleotides which includesin the first and second exons of hSIM2. Taken together withour observation in which the CpG islands were concentrated within1.2 Mb around hSIM2, we propose that this region functions asan R-band, and the cluster provides a unique element for markingof DNA for the spatial and temporal expression of the hSIM2locus. 相似文献

The mosquito innate immune response is able to clear the majority of Plasmodium parasites. This immune clearance is controlled by a number of regulatory molecules including serine protease inhibitors (serpins). To determine whether such molecules could represent a novel target for a malaria transmission-blocking vaccine, we vaccinated mice with Anopheles gambiae serpin-2. Antibodies against Anopheles gambiae serpin-2 significantly reduced the infection of a heterologous Anopheles species (Anopheles stephensi) by Plasmodium berghei, however this effect was not observed with Plasmodium falciparum. Therefore, this approach of targeting regulatory molecules of the mosquito immune system may represent a novel approach to transmission-blocking malaria vaccines. 相似文献

We analyzed genomes of nonhuman primates to determine the ancestral state of a 9.1-kb insertion/deletion polymorphism, located on human chromosome 22. The 9.1-kb+ allele was found in 16 chimpanzees, 3 bonobos, and 2 Bornean orangutans; however, 9 chimpanzees and 6 Sumatran orangutans showed neither the 9.1-kb+ nor the 9.1-kb- allele, but a novel allele, termed 9.1-kbnull. A clone from a chimpanzee BAC library carrying the 9.1-kbnull allele was sequenced: the BAC DNA aligns with the human chromosome 22 reference sequence except for a 75-kb region, suggesting that the 9.1-kbnull allele originated from a deletion. Furthermore, the 9.1-kb+ chromosomes of chimpanzees and bonobos contain a 1030-nucleotide sequence, absent in humans, that may result from a retro-transposition insertion in their common ancestor. Our results provide additional evidence that human chromosome 22 has undergone multiple small-scale and large-scale insertions and deletions since sharing a common ancestor with other primates. 相似文献

A procedure for estimating in vivo redox status using EPR and a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-dependent spin probe method is described. The mechanism of decreasing spin clearance in the selenium-deficient (SeD) rat is discussed. The in vivo decay constant of the nitroxyl spin probe in the liver region of SeD rats appeared to be slightly lower that of the selenium-adequate control (SeC) group, and was significantly smaller than that of normal rats. Bile H2O2 levels in normal rats were significantly lower than those in SeD rats. The in vivo decay constant of the spin probe in SeD rats depended on the bile H2O2 level. Furthermore, H2O2 was detected in the bile in all SeD rats, whereas bile H2O2 could be detected in only half of the normal rats. It was found that the in vivo decay constant of the spin probe in normal rats also depended on whether bile H2O2 was detected or not. In vivo decay constants were smaller in rats subjected to the surgical operation than in the nonoperated groups. The EPR signal of the nitroxyl radical in the liver homogenate was increased by addition of H2O2, which was administered 30 min before the rat was killed. It appears that H2O2 can oxidize the hydroxylamine formed following reduction of the spin probe in the liver. 相似文献

Most mitochondrial preproteins are maintained in a loosely folded import-competent conformation by cytosolic chaperones, and are imported into mitochondria by translocator complexes containing a preprotein receptor, termed translocase of the outer membrane of mitochondria (Tom) 20. Using two-hybrid screening, we identified arylhydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP), an FK506-binding protein homologue, interacting with Tom20. The extreme COOH-terminal acidic segment of Tom20 was required for interaction with tetratricopeptide repeats of AIP. An in vitro import assay indicated that AIP prevents preornithine transcarbamylase from the loss of import competency. In cultured cells, overexpression of AIP enhanced preornithine transcarbamylase import, and depletion of AIP by RNA interference impaired the import. An in vitro binding assay revealed that AIP specifically binds to mitochondrial preproteins. Formation of a ternary complex of Tom20, AIP, and preprotein was observed. Hsc70 was also found to bind to AIP. An aggregation suppression assay indicated that AIP has a chaperone-like activity to prevent substrate proteins from aggregation. These results suggest that AIP functions as a cytosolic factor that mediates preprotein import into mitochondria. 相似文献

We investigated the radical scavenging activity of propolis by ESR spectroscopy using spin trapping method. In addition, we examined the influence of a diet of 2% propolis on mice under oxidative stress. At low concentrations, the methanolic extract of propolis exhibited strong scavenging activity in vitro towards both the superoxide anion radical, generated by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase reaction, and the NO radical, generated from the mixture of NOC-7 (NO generator) and carboxy-PTIO (spin trapping agent). An inhibitory effect of propolis on lipid peroxidation in vivo was observed, as determined by measurement of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in mouse liver homogenate. The level of vitamin C in the brain of mice under oxidative stress significantly increased compared with control mice under atmosphere, which was not observed in the mice given 2% propolis. The level of alpha-tocopherol in the brain of mice given 2% propolis significantly increased compared with control mice under atmosphere, which was not observed in mice under oxidative stress. SOD activity in the brain and plasma of mice given 2% propolis significantly decreased under atmosphere and oxidative stress compared with control mice. These results suggest that propolis possesses potent antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

A series of novel N-acylsulfonamide analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their binding affinity and antagonist activity for the EP3 receptor subtype. Representative compounds were also evaluated for their inhibitory effect on PGE2-induced uterine contraction in pregnant rats. Among those tested, a series of N-acylbenzenesulfonamide analogs were found to be more potent than the corresponding carboxylic acid analogs in both the in vitro and in vivo evaluations. The structure activity relationships (SAR) are also discussed. 相似文献
