Most ancient specimens contain very low levels of endogenous DNA, precluding the shotgun sequencing of many interesting samples because of cost. Ancient DNA (aDNA) libraries often contain <1% endogenous DNA, with the majority of sequencing capacity taken up by environmental DNA. Here we present a capture-based method for enriching the endogenous component of aDNA sequencing libraries. By using biotinylated RNA baits transcribed from genomic DNA libraries, we are able to capture DNA fragments from across the human genome. We demonstrate this method on libraries created from four Iron Age and Bronze Age human teeth from Bulgaria, as well as bone samples from seven Peruvian mummies and a Bronze Age hair sample from Denmark. Prior to capture, shotgun sequencing of these libraries yielded an average of 1.2% of reads mapping to the human genome (including duplicates). After capture, this fraction increased substantially, with up to 59% of reads mapped to human and enrichment ranging from 6- to 159-fold. Furthermore, we maintained coverage of the majority of regions sequenced in the precapture library. Intersection with the 1000 Genomes Project reference panel yielded an average of 50,723 SNPs (range 3,062–147,243) for the postcapture libraries sequenced with 1 million reads, compared with 13,280 SNPs (range 217–73,266) for the precapture libraries, increasing resolution in population genetic analyses. Our whole-genome capture approach makes it less costly to sequence aDNA from specimens containing very low levels of endogenous DNA, enabling the analysis of larger numbers of samples. 相似文献

Two endoglucanases (1,4--d-glucan-4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4) were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the culture filtrate of a mutant strain Trichoderma sp. M7. The purified endoglucanases had Mr of 57.4 and 55 kDa, and estimated pI values of 4.1 and 3.95/3.75, respectively. Optimal activity for the first cellulase was at pH 4.5 and 50 °C, and at pH 5.5 and 60 °C for the other. Carbodiimide inactivated the one of the purified endoglucanases, while the other was inhibited by iodoacetamide, indicating the involvement of carboxylic or thiol groups in the catalysis. N-Bromsuccinimide strongly inhibited both endoglucanases, suggesting that tryptophan residues are essential for the activity and binding to the substrate. 相似文献

Numerous data accumulated during the last decade have shown that the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence is not a unique initiator of translation for Escherichia coli. Several other sequences, mostly of viral origin, have demonstrated their capability of either enhancing or initiating translation in vivo. A phage T7 gene 10 sequence, called "epsilon" (epsilon), has shown its high enhancing activity on translation in both Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells. In this study the epsilon, together with three other nucleotide sequences derived from the 5' non-translated regions of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), papaya mosaic virus (PMV) and clover yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) RNAs are tested for translation initiation activity in A. tumefaciens cells. The obtained results indicate that none of them was capable of initiating translation in vivo of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) mRNA. To determine whether their inactivity was related with structural differences in the ribosomal protein S1, the rpsA gene (coding for S1 protein in E. coli) was co-expressed in A. tumefaciens together with the cat gene placed under the translational control of the above sequences. Our results showed that the rpsA gene product did not make any of the four viral enhancers active in A. tumefaciens cells. The inability of A. tumefaciens ribosomes to translate mRNAs devoid of SD sequences indicates for a substantial difference in the ribosome structure of the two Gram negative bacteria E. coli and A. tumefaciens. 相似文献

The induction of HSP90 in murine erythroleukemia cells, clone F4 N, by cisplatin (DDP) was examined using indirect immunofluorescence and avidin-biotin technique, and compared with cisplatin cytotoxicity. A reverse dependence of HSP90 induction time was found on a wide range of cisplatin concentrations (0.5-10 microM), which proved to be cytostatic up to 48 h of continuous treatment. Thus, the observed induction pattern of HSP90 in F4 N cells strictly correlated with their high tolerance toward DDP. This indicates that HSP90 might be responsible, at least in part, for cisplatin resistance of F4 N cells. 相似文献

In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, interdependency in rRNA processing is mediated by a large protein complex (RAC) which contains independent binding sites for each of the transcribed spacers. The RAC complex exhibits no nuclease activity but dramatically alters the efficiency and specificity of the Pac1 nuclease, leading to the complete removal of the 3' ETS. Furthermore, the affinity of RAC protein for mutant 3' ETS correlates closely with in vivo effects on rRNA processing, and changes which disrupt RAC protein binding also inhibit Pac1 nuclease cleavage at the 3' end of the 25S rRNA sequence. The observations indicate that, in the presence of the RAC protein/3' ETS complex, cleavage by the RNase III-like homolog is not restricted to the known intermediate sites but also is directed at the 3' end of the 25S rRNA. 相似文献

Epsilon sequence (UUAACUUUA) has originally been found in the bacteriophage T7 gene 10 leader region. It enhances translation in Escherichia coli via base pairing with nucleotides 458-466 located in the helical domain #17 of 16S rRNA. We have recently reported that when the complementarity to 16S rRNA is extended, the epsilon is converted from an enhancer to an independent initiator of translation. Here we report the effect of two other structural parameters, positioning in mRNA and the degree of complementarity to 16S rRNA on the translation initiation activity of epsilon in E. coli cells. Our results show that epsilon displays maximal activity as a translational initiator at its natural 9-nucleotide-long complementarity to 16S rRNA and at a 16-nucleotide-long distance to the initiation codon. Under these conditions its efficiency is comparable with that of the consensus Shine-Dalgarno sequence. 相似文献

-Amylases from the thermophilic fungus, Thermomyces lanuginosus ATCC 34626 (wild and mutant strains), were purified to homogeneity by a simple procedure including, consecutively, precipitation with ice-cold 2-propanol, anion-exchange and molecular-sieve chromatographic methods. The molecular masses of the purified -amylases (both with pI values of 3.0) were 58 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimal pH of -amylase activity was 5.0 for the wild enzyme and 4.5 for the mutant one. 1-Cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinyl-4-ethyl)-carbodiimide (40–100 mM) and N-bromosuccinimide (0.1–1 mM) inhibited the enzymes, suggesting the involvement of carboxylic groups and tryptophan residues in the catalytic process. 相似文献
