Molecular phylogenetic analysis of a novel thermophilic eubacterium isolated from an Iranian hot spring using 16S rDNA sequence showed that the new isolate belongs to genera Geobacillus. DNA pol I gene from this isolate was amplified, cloned, sequenced, and the three-dimensional (3D) structure of deduced amino acid sequence was predicted. Sequence analysis revealed the gene is 2,631 bp long, encodes a protein of 876 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 99 kDa, and belongs to family A DNA polymerases. Comparison of 3′–5′exonuclease domain of Klenow fragment (KF) with corresponding region of newly identified DNA pol I (MF), the large fragment of Bacillus stearothermophilus DNA pol I (BF) and Klentaq1, revealed not only deletions in three regions compared to KF, but that three of the four critical metal-binding residues in KF (Asp355, Glu357, Asp424, and Asp501) are altered in MF as well. Predicted 3D structure and sequence alignments between MF and BF showed that all critical residues in the polymerase active site are conserved.  相似文献

The identification and characterization of a truncated goat beta-casein, associated with a null beta-casein allele (CSN2(O')), is reported. The truncated beta-casein predicted at the DNA level (NCBI Acc. No. CAB39313) but never observed at the protein level, here named beta-casein O, was detected as a minor component in a goat milk sample from an autochthonous breed from southern Italy, 'Rossa Mediterranea', by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC/ESI-MS). The ESI mass spectrum of the intact beta-casein O determined an M(r) value of 18 780 Da (calculated 18 781.5). Characterization of the amino acid sequence, performed by coupling trypsin digestion with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), RP-HPLC/ESI-MS and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), demonstrated that the amino acid sequence corresponds to the 1-166 sequence of mature beta-casein variant A (Acc. No. P33048), thus confirming that the protein is coded by the null allele CSN2(O'), characterized by a transition (C --> T) at the 373rd nucleotide of the 7th exon of the gene, which generates a premature stop codon in position 182.  相似文献

Gene for aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase [AAC(6')] from Serratia sp. 45 was cloned into E. coli. The enzyme produced in E. coli carrying the recombinant plasmid was compared to the Serratia enzyme. Both enzymes acetylated the 6'-C position of amikacin, dibekacin, tobramycin, sisomicin, gentamicin C1a and kanamycin but effected gentamicin C1, gentamicin C2 and micronomycin minimally. No significant difference in optimal pH, isoelectric point or molecular weight was detected. The nucleotide sequence of the gene was determined. Initiating with a GTG codon for methionine, it was composed of 552 base pair coding for 184 amino acids. The molecular weight of the enzyme was about 20418. Comparison of the amino acid sequence of this AAC(6') with the amino acid sequence of aacA4 gene from Serratia marcescens (G. Tran Van Nhieu and E. Collatz, J. Bacteriol., 169, 5708(1987)) showed 98.3% homology.  相似文献

MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF RICE Wx GENE   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
The complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of the rice waxy(Wx) gene, which is responsible for the synthesis of amylose in endosperm and pollen, has been determined by a combination of restriction mapping and nt sequence analysis of two overlapping genomic DNA clones. The entire gene is about 5.5 kb in length. The alignment of the nt sequence of the Wx gene from rice with those of maize (Klsgen, R. B. et al.) and barley (Rohde, W. et al.) revealed the presence of thirteen introns and fourteen exons. The full-length of Wx protein in cluding transit peptide is 609 amino acid (aa) residues. The calculated molecular weight of rice Wx preprotein is about 72 kD. There is no significant difference between the similarity scores of the aa sequence deduced from the rice Wx gene compared with those of maize and barley. However, the nt sequences of the 5'-end upstream, 3'-end downstream and introns of the rice Wx gene, as well as the aa sequence of the transit peptide region of the Wx preprotein have low similarity scor  相似文献

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of cancer repression gene p53 were analyzed electrochemically with ferrocenyl naphthalene diimide (1) as a hybridization indicator. The SNPs studied were the transition to A from G in the codon for amino acid at positions 175, 248 or 273 and the transversion to C from G in the codon for the amino acid at position 72. Thus, 20-meric oligonucleotides carrying the SNP site were used both as a sample and a probe with the latter immobilized on an electrode. Even one base difference on the p53 gene resulted in a significant difference in the current response of 1 and the magnitude of the response correlated with the amount of the DNA hybrid on the electrode. Moreover, when PCR products of exon 4, on which the P72/R72 SNP resides, of the p53 gene were analyzed by this method, the heterozygote and homozygotes were discriminated with modest precision.  相似文献

Electrochemical detection of nucleic acid base mismatches related to Apa I single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the vitamin D receptor gene was performed successfully using 7‐dimethyl‐amino‐1,2‐benzophenoxazinium salt (Meldola's blue, MDB) with 10.9 pmol/100 μL of detection limit. MDB reduction signals obtained from probe, mismatch(probe‐SNP containing target) and hybrid(probe‐target) modified pencil graphite electrode(PGE) increased respectively. The sensor was able to clearly distinguish perfect match from mismatch DNA in a 30 min. detection time. Several factors affecting on the hybridization and indicator response are studied to maximize sensitivity and selectivity. The advantages of the biosensor are discussed in comparison with previous electrochemical assays for DNA hybridization.  相似文献

Sequence heterogeneity in a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (pcox1) was measured for the hookworms, Ancylostoma caninum from Australia, A. duodenale from China, and Necator americanus from China and Togo using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis combined with DNA sequencing. The pcox1 sequences were characterised for individual nematodes displaying genetic variation within each of the three species, and those were compared with pcox1 sequences of four other species of hookworm. While intraspecific variation in the pcox1 sequence ranged from 0.5 to 8.6% for A. caninum, 0.3 to 3.3% forA. duodenale, and 0.3 to 4.3% for N. americanus, interspecific differences varied from 4.8 to 12.9%. Sequence data also provided information on nucleotide compositions and substitution patterns. Genetically distinct groups were detected within A. caninum and A. duodenale, indicating significant population substructuring within these species. Also, N. americanus individuals from China all differed from those from Togo at four nucleotide positions, supporting a previous proposal (based on ribosomal DNA sequence data) that N. americanus may represent a species complex. The findings indicated the value of pcox1 sequence data and the mutation scanning approach for studying the genetic structures of hookworm populations, which should have important epidemiological relevance.  相似文献

A Trichosanthin gene was cloned from Trichosanthes kirilowii genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Nucleotide sequence data indicated that we obtained the coding region of the mature Trichosanthin peptide as well as its signal peptide at the N-terminus. Comparisons of our sequence with the previously reported nucleotide sequences of this gene showed 99.25% homology, yet there were notable differences between the previously reported amino acid sequence and our deduced result. This gene was subcloned into a highlevel expression plasmid (pJLA502) of E. coli under the control of a P_RP_L promoter, and we observed the gene product after temperature induction. The gene was further cloned into plant intermediate vector pE3 under the control of a CaMV 35S promoter, and transferred into a tobacco genome using the agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer system. Western blotting analysis of the protein extracted from Escherichia coli and transgenic tobacco plants proved that the Trichosanthin gene has been  相似文献

Reported here is the synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides with a 3'-terminal 2'-acylamido-2'-deoxyadenosine residue. The route to these oligonucleotides employs an N,O-Alloc-protected 5'-phosphoramidite of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine that was prepared in 11 steps from arabinoadenosine. Small combinatorial libraries of oligonucleotides were generated via acylation with a mixture of linker amino acids and subsequent acylation of their amino groups. Mass spectrometrically monitored nuclease selection assays led to oligonucleotides whose 2'-substituent increases the thermal stability of the DNA duplexes. A linker with three methylene groups between a perylene stacking moiety and the amido group gives a UV-melting point increase of up to 27.9 degrees C for the DNA sequence (TGCGCA*)2, where A* denotes the 2'-acylamidoadenosine residue. The same acylamido group improves mismatch discrimination at the terminal position with a melting point depression of >or=7 degrees C for any of the three mismatches in the target sequence of the octamer 5'-AGGTTGAA-3'. These results demonstrate how even a very weakly base-pairing nucleotide at the 3'-terminus of a DNA probe strand can be enforced to engage in strong and highly sequence-selective base-pairing interactions.  相似文献
