极端嗜热厌氧纤维素分解菌基因文库的构建及其内切葡聚糖酶基因片段的克隆

以从云南邦拿掌温泉中分离、纯化的高温厌氧纤维素分解菌邦2菌(Cadicellulosiruptor)为材料,制备其总DNA,经限制性核酸内切酶EcoRⅠ部分酶切后,在T4DNA连接酶的作用下与经EcoRⅠ完全酶切、去磷酸化的质粒载体pUC18连接,然后转化E.coliJM109,建立了邦2的基因文库,经筛选鉴定得到6.3×103个重组子;重组子经刚果红平板验证:约有23.5%菌落呈现透明圈;重组子经EcoRⅠ酶切验证显示:重组质粒均含有外源DNA插入片段.结果表明已克隆到邦2菌纤维素酶系中的内切葡聚糖酶基因(ED基因)片段.     

玉米候选抗病相关基因片段的克隆

根据已经克隆的植物抗病基因和候选抗病基因的保守序列P-loop、Kinase-2及GLPLAL设计一系列简并引物，利用同源序列扩增法，对玉米的基因组DNA进行PCR扩增，并对5个扩增产物的克隆进行测序．测序结果在Gen—Bank内进行BLAST检索，发现A9克隆序列与玉米BAC库中的206C17克隆的部分序列有很高的相似性，并且距离GenBank内注册的玉米抗锈病基因rpl位点中的rpl-3基因、rpl-4基因分别约有66Kb、20Kb，且A9克隆序列在玉米基因组中是单拷贝的．这为玉米抗锈病性状的分子标记辅助选择和抗锈病基因的克隆奠定了良好的基础。     

Efficient expression of human factor Ⅸ cDNA in liver mediated by hydrodynamics-based plasmid administration

The transfection of plasmid DNA into mammalian cells is an indispensable tool in the study of gene transfer and gene function. Since the original report in 1990 on the successful expression of a reporter gene in muscle[1], plasmid DNA injection has been widely used to mediate gene transfer study. As a gene transfer vector, naked DNA has many obvious advantages. It is easy and cheap to be prepared and more safe after transfection. But the plasmid mediated gene expression is low because of t…     

Genetic Diversity in Populations of Sepiella maindroni Using 16S rRNA Gene Sequence Analysis

Part of the 16S rRNA gene is amplified with PCR and sequenced for 5 populations of common Chinese cuttlefish Sepiella maindroni:three from the South China Sea,one from East China Sea and one from Japan.The result shows that a total of 5 nucleotide positions are found to have gaps or insertions of base pairs among these individuals,and 13 positions are examined to be variable in all the sequences,which range from 494 to 509 base pairs.All of the individuals are grouped into 7 haplotypes (h1-h7).No marked genetic difference is osberved among those populations.All of the individuals from Nagasaki belong to h1 and the h3 haplotype is found only in the coastal waters of China.A→←G transition in Nucleotide 255 is suggested to be taken as a kind of genetic marker to identify the populations distributed in East-South China Sea and the Nagasaki waters of Japan.     

Cloning and functional analysis of chloroplast division gene NtFtsZ2-1 in Nicotiana tabacum

FtsZ protein plays an important role in the division of chloroplasts. With the finding and functional analysis of higher plant FtsZ proteins, people have deepened the understanding in the molecular mechanism of chloroplast division. Multiple ftsZ genes are diversified into two families in higher plants, ftsZ1 and ftsZ2. On the basis of the research on ftsZ1 family, we analyzed the function of NtFtsZ2-1 gene in Nicotiana tabacum. Microscopic analysis of the sense and antisense NtFtsZ2-1 transgenic tobacco plants revealed that the chloroplasts were abnormal in size and also in number when compared with wild-type tobacco chloroplasts. Our investigations confirmed that the NtFtsZ2-1 gene is involved in plant chloroplast division.     

Recent progress in polymer-based gene delivery vectors

The gene delivery system is one of the three components of a gene medicine, which is the bottle neck of current gene therapy. Nonviral vectors offer advantages over the viral system of safety, ease of manufacturing, etc. As important nonviral vectors, polymer gene delivery systems have gained increasing attention and have begun to show increasing promising. In this review, the fundamental and recent progress of polymer-based gene delivery vectors is reviewed.     

Expression of human clotting factor Ⅸ mediated by recom- binant lentiviral vector in cultured cells and hemophilia B mice

To explore the expression of human clotting factor Ⅸ (hFⅨ) cDNA in vitro and the feasibility of gene therapy for hemophilia B mice mediated by recombinant lentiviral vector, a recombinant hFⅨ lentiviral vector driven by ubiquitin-C promoter, FUXW, and by ABP liver specific promoter, FAXW, was constructed respectively. Recombinant lentivirus was harvested from 293T cells by calcium phosphate-mediated transient cotransfection of three plasmids (transgene vector, CMV腞8.2, VSV-G). hFⅨ expression was detected in supernatant of 293T, BHK and L-02 cells infected with FUXW virus, whereas higher expression of hFⅨ levels (630 ng/106 cells/48 h) was detected only in L-02 cells infected with FAXW virus. Serum hFⅨ antigen was detected in all hemophilia B mice treated with FAXW virus by tail vein injection, an efficiency level of hFⅨ was observed (45 ng/mL, approximately 1% of normal human levels), the expression lasted for more than 60 d. The results indicated that HIV-based lentiviral vectors offer a promising approach to the gene therapy of hemophilia B.
