Study on the sex-related AFLP marker of the Yangtze finless porpoise

The sex-related molecular marker of the Yangtze finless porpoise was screened using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism （AFLP） technique combined with the bulked segregant analysis. Totally 36 AFLP primer combinations were used to detect the genome DNA bulks of the female and male porpoises, and one sex-related AFLP marker was finally obtained. The marker can be applied to sex identification, and provides a base for further cloning of sex-related genes and analyzing of Y chromosome haplotypes of the Yangtze finless porpoise.     

果蝇SCS'绝缘子对杆状病毒在哺乳动物细胞中介导基因表达的影响

将果蝇SCS'绝缘子以不同方向置于CMV启动子和报告基因egfp表达框的上下游,构建了包括对照病毒在内的9个重组杆状病毒.比较了这些病毒转导CHO,BHK和CNE细胞后报告基因表达的情况.结果显示:各株重组病毒的复制没有明显差异,但报告基因的表达水平有明显不同.当SCS'绝缘子位于表达框的上游,并与报告基因同向时,基因的表达水平显著提高.在CHO中,转导后24 h EGFP表达量比对照病毒提高近3倍,egfpmRNA水平也比对照病毒高4倍多.当在表达框上、下游各有一个SCS',且分别与CMV启动子方向-致和相反时,EGFP表达量降低到只有对照病毒的1/3,其mRNA水平也仅是对照病毒的1/6～1/5.丁酸钠和TSA等组蛋白脱乙酰基酶抑制剂处理可以使该病毒介导EGFP表达大幅上升,甚至超过对照病毒.这些结果揭示了杆状病毒在哺乳动物细胞介导基因表达时受到细胞染色质调节机制的影响,也为优化杆状病毒-哺乳动物细胞系基因表达系统提供了新的方法.     

大熊猫肠道菌抗生素抗性菌转座酶的基因克隆和表达

对大熊猫肠道大肠杆菌抗生素抗性质粒pAm08CD7339全序列的生物信息学分析结果表明,该质粒中存在一个编码转座酶的DNA片段,两条DNA链均可编码转座酶,其编码区长度分别为717 bp和600 bp,编码238个和199个氨基酸残基（分别命名为Transposase238和Transposase199）.以pAm08CD7339质粒DNA为模板,利用PCR方法对2个转座酶基因进行扩增,构建相应表达质粒,转化不同大肠杆菌菌株进行表达,结果表明：Transposase199可以在E.coli BL2     

Location of the protein of<Emphasis Type="Italic">RSG</Emphasis>6, a predominantly expressed gene in rice sperm cells

Using Western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis, here the localization of RSC-6 protein was determined in various tissues of rice. Western blot showed only a weak signal in mature pollen. Nevertheless, according to the result of immunohistochemistry with DAB and fluorescent staining, the expression of RSC-6 protein appeared to begin at the bicellular microspore stage, and then keep activity in the sperm cells of mature pollens. The fluorescence patternshowed RSC-6 polypeptide was present close to or attached to the surface of the isolated sperm cells. And this suggested that RSG6 might take an important part in the process of recognition of sperm cell and ovum.     

Dynamic expression pattern of zebrafish bfabp （fabp7） during early embryogenesis

The expression of bfabp is correlated with the development of nervous system. Recently, a bfabp homologue (fabp7) was identified in zebrafish and its genomic structure, mRNA expression by RT-PCR and linkage mapping data were obtained. However, these studies did not provide the information of spatial and temporal expression pattern of fabp7 during zebrafish embryogenesis.     

基因与基因表达

基因是遗传物质的功能单位，它可以把遗传信息传给下一代。大多数生物的基因存在于DNA分子中，少数生物的基因是由RNA组成的。真核生物的基因主要位于细胞核内的染色体上，称为细胞核基因，按孟德尔式遗传。细胞质中的线粒体、叶绿体以及原核细胞的质粒中也含有基因，称为细胞质基因，其遗传方式是非孟德尔式的，表现为母系遗传。     

Identifying disease feature genes based on cellular localized gene functional modules and regulation networks

Using data mining methods to identify disease-rele- vant genes and functional modules via high throughput gene expression profiles is of critical importance for studying complex disease mechanisms and predicting disease phenotypes[1,2]. Genes do not behav…
