扬子鳄DMRT1基因DM保守区的克隆及序列分析

DMRT1基因是DMRT基因家族的一个重要成员,在动物性别决定过程中发挥重要作用.本文参照人DMRT1基因DM保守区及有关文献,设计了一对简并引物,扩增了扬子鳄的DMRT1基因,并对扩增产物进行了亚克隆与测序.结果在雌雄扬子鳄个体中各获得一个预期的基因片段,长度为140bp,序列无性别差异性,命名为扬子鳄AsDMRT1基因.序列同源性分析表明,扬子鳄DMRT1基因DM盒区核苷酸序列与人和鼠相应基因的同源性分别为87%、86%;编码的氨基酸序列与人和鼠相应基因编码序列的同源性分别为95%、97%.充分显示了DMRT1基因在进化上的高度保守性.     

茄青枯假单胞菌T2015致病相关基因突变体的构建

分离自花生植株的茄青枯假单胞菌(Ralstonia solanacearum)T2015的Tn5-lacZ插入突变体T2135是极性突变体.采用现代分子生物学实验技术,首先构建了同一操纵子中ORF2的表达质粒pGX6191,并进行生物学验证,然后采用三亲本结合技术导入极性突变体T2135,得到茄青枯假单胞菌T2015中与致病相关基因ORF3的突变体T2135/R.

Mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequence variations and phylogeny of the Chinese sisorid catfishes

Partial sequences of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene were obtained by PCR amplification for comparisons among nine species of glyptosternoid fishes and six species of non-glyptosternoids representing 10 sisorid genera. There are compositional biases in the A-rich unpaired regions and G-rich paired regions. A-G transitions are primarily responsible for the Ts/Tv bias in unpaired regions. The overall substitution rate in unpaired regions is almost two times higher than that in the paired regions. Saturation plots at comparable levels of sequence divergence demonstrate no saturation effects. Phylogenetic analyses using both maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods support the monophyly of Sisoridae. Chinese sisorid catfishes are composed of two majorlineages, one represented by (Gagata (Bagarius, Glyptothorax)) and the other by “glyptosternoids Pseudecheneis“. The glyptosternoids may not be a monophyletic group. A previous hypothesis referring to Pseudecheneis as the sister group of monophyletic glyptosternoids, based on morphological evidence, is not supported by the molecular data. Pseudecheneis is shown to be a sister taxon of Glaridoglanis. Pareuchiloglanis might be paraphyletic with Pseudexostoma and Euchiloglanis. Our results also support the hypothesis that Pareuchiloglanis anteanalis might be considered as the synonyms of Pareuchiloglanis sinensis, and genus Euchiloglanis might have only one valid species, Euchiloglanis davidi.     

蓝舌病病毒内蒙古分离株VP_2基因5′端序列分析及探针制备

从内蒙古巴盟地区分离的蓝舌病病毒株(BTV-NM)提取总RNA,经反转录PCR扩增VP2基因5′端片段,并构建至pGEM-T载体中.序列测定后,将这一序列与蓝舌病毒澳大利亚株VP2基因5′端进行比较分析:同源性为40%.通过PCR法标记克隆的cDNA片段,制备地高辛标记探针,与粗提的蓝舌病发病羊病毒RNA进行Northernblot杂交,并作敏感性试验,结果表明此探针对蓝舌病毒内蒙古分离株具有特异性,可检测出50pg的病毒RNA.

Isolation and Characterization of Phytoene Desaturase cDNA from Stigma of Crocus sativus

Phytoene desatumse (PDS) has recently been identified as an important enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. A cDNA clone encoding phytoene desaturase gene is isolated from stigma of saffron (Crocus sativus L. ) using RT-PCR technique. Sequence analysis shows 85% similarity to Narcissus pseudonarcissus, 79% to Zea mays, 78% to Arabidopsis thaliana, 77% to Lycopersicon esculentum. A new full-length cDNA is obtained by 5 ‘-RACE and 3‘ -RACE techniques. The cDNA is 2149bp long with an open reading frame of 1697bp, which encodes a polypeptide of 565 amino acids. Southern analy-sis shows that the PDS gene is a single copy in saffron. Northern blot analysis shows higher expression level of PDS gene in stigma and anther than in leaves and stem.
