用荧光原位杂交技术检测黑麦染色质

荧光原位杂交技术（fluorescence in situ hybridization ,FISH）是一种快速、准确、直接检测和定位外源染色质的新技术。本研究荧光原位杂交用毛地黄毒苷-11-dUTP标记黑麦总DNA作探针,以检测小麦中黑麦染色质。结果如下：八倍体小黑麦（2n=8x=56）有丝分裂中期有14条染色体显示黄色,42条染色体显示红色,红色间期核显示有14个黄色亮点,表明这八倍体小黑麦含14条黑麦染色体。八倍体小黑麦中黄色黑麦染色体显C-带和H-带的末端有绿色的带。这是由于黑麦染色体末端结构异染色质含量高所致。黑麦附加系2R的间期细胞核中有1 ～ 2个黄色亮点。这表明2R含有1至2条黑麦染色体。

Interferon-beta-related DNA is dispersed in the human genome

Interferon-beta 1 (IFN-beta 1) complementary DNA was used as a hybridization probe to isolate human genomic DNA clones lambda B3 and lambda B4 from a human genomic DNA library. Blot-hybridization procedures and partial nucleotide sequencing revealed that lambda B3 is related to IFN-beta 1 (and more distantly to IFN-alpha 1). Analyses of DNA obtained from a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids that were probed with DNA derived from lambda B3 showed that lambda B3 is on human chromosome 2. Similar experiments indicated that lambda B4 is not on human chromosomes 2, 5, or 9. The finding that DNA related to the IFN-beta 1 gene (and IFN-alpha 1 gene) is dispersed in the human genome raises new questions about the origins of the interferon genes.     

Gene for T-cell growth factor: location on human chromosome 4q and feline chromosome B1

T-cell growth factor (TCGF) or interleukin-2 (IL-2), an immunoregulatory lymphokine, is produced by lectin- or antigen-activated mature T lymphocytes and in a constitutive manner by certain T-cell lymphoma cell lines. By means of a molecular clone of human TCGF and DNA extracted from a panel of somatic cell hybrids (rodent cells X normal human lymphocytes), the TCGF structural gene was identified on human chromosome 4. In situ hybridization of the TCGF clone to human chromosomes resulted in significant labeling of the midportion of the long arm of chromosome 4, indicating that the TCGF gene was located at band q26-28. Genomic DNA from a panel of hybrids prepared with HUT-102 B2 cells was examined with the same molecular clone. In this clone of cells, which produces human T-cell leukemia virus, the TCGF gene was also located on chromosome 4 and was apparently not rearranged. The homologous TCGF locus in the domestic cat was assigned to chromosome B1 by using a somatic cell hybrid panel that segregates cat chromosomes. Linkage studies as well as high-resolution G-trypsin banding indicate that this feline chromosome is partially homologous to human chromosome 4.     

Chromosomal location of human T-cell receptor gene Ti beta

A complementary DNA probe corresponding to the beta-chain gene of Ti, the human T lymphocyte receptor, has been molecularly cloned. The chromosomal origin of the Ti beta gene was determined with the complementary DNA by screening a series of 12 cell hybrid (mouse X human) DNA's containing overlapping subsets of human chromosomes. DNA hybridization (Southern) experiments showed that the human Ti beta gene resides on chromosome 7 and is thus not linked to the immunoglobulin loci or to the major histocompatibility locus in humans.     

High-speed chromosome sorting

Dual-beam high-speed sorting has been developed to facilitate purification of chromosomes based on DNA staining with the fluorescent dyes Hoechst 33258 and chromomycin A3. Approximately 200 chromosomes per second of two types can be sorted from a suspension of chromosomes isolated from human lymphoblasts while fluorescent objects (chromosomes, debris fragments, chromosome clumps, and nuclei) are processed at the rate of about 20,000 per second. This sorting rate is approximately ten times that possible with conventional sorters. Chromosomes of a single type can be sorted with a purity of about 90 percent. DNA from the sorted chromosomes is suitable for construction of recombinant DNA libraries and for gene mapping.     

遗传转移的MADI过程

单体附加在小麦细胞中的黑麦染色体,在减数分裂过程中高频率地断裂,破碎和丢失。它们同时引起小麦染色体的断裂和丢失。断裂的黑麦和小麦染色体,以较高频率重新融合形成罗伯逊易位。破碎的黑麦染色体的DNA片段,可以整合在小麦染色体上,完成遗传的转移。本研究发现的这种通过染色体的“单体附加一破碎一整合”过程实现遗传转移的方式,简称为“MADI”(美代)过程,为把外源种质导入栽培植物的研究提供了一种有效的方法。     

Centromere: absence of DNA replication during chromatid separation in human fibroblasts

Cultures of human fibroblasts were labeled briefly with tritiated thymidine and fixed; autoradiographs were made and exposed for 3(1/2) months. No labeling was noted over the centromere of metaphase or anaphase chromosomes. The technique was sensitive to replication at the centromere of a DNA helix only 2.5 microns long, considerably shorter than the estimated length of a replicon in humans. This suggests that chromatid separation during mitosis is not associated with delayed replication of a short segment of chromosomal DNA.     

DNA content and DNA-based centromeric index of the 24 human chromosomes

The chromosomes of two human males were identified by fluorescent banding, restained, and measured by scanning microscopy and computer analysis. The two variables, DNA content and DNA-based centromeric index, provided almost complete discrimination of chromosome types. Some chromosomes showed significant differences in DNA content between the men, and for one man two pairs of chromosomes showed significant differences between homologs.

经对ＳＤ—Ｉ系染色体Ｃ－带分带核型分析和带纹的量化记述、观察到Ｃ－带的分带规律，即在足够的碱处理条件下，每条染色体均可显带。但当处理低于这一水平时，尽管处在同一的处理条件下，各Ｃ－带并非同时显带。一般情况下各Ｃ－带发生在着丝点处，带形为圆形，仅ｙ染色体的Ｃ－带发生在染色体的长臂，带形为椭圆形。文章中对其Ｃ－带的多态性进行了分析。     

The fragile X site in somatic cell hybrids: an approach for molecular cloning of fragile sites

Fragile X syndrome is a common form of mental retardation associated with a fragile site on the human X chromosome. Although fragility at this site is usually evident as a nonstaining chromatid gap, it remains unclear whether or not actual chromosomal breakage occurs. By means of somatic cell hybrids containing either a normal human X or a fragile X chromosome and utilizing two genes that flank the fragile site as markers of chromosome integrity, segregation of these markers was shown to be more frequent if they encompass the fragile site under appropriate culture conditions. Hybrid cells that reveal marker segregation were found to contain rearranged X chromosomes involving the region at or near the fragile site, thus demonstrating true chromosomal breakage within this area. Two independent translocation chromosomes were identified involving a rodent chromosome joined to the human X at the location of the fragile site. DNA analysis of closely linked, flanking loci was consistent with the position of the breakpoint being at or very near the fragile X site. Fragility at the translocation junctions was observed in both hybrids, but at significantly lower frequencies than that seen in the intact X of the parental hybrid. This observation suggests that the human portion of the junctional DNA may contain part of a repeated fragility sequence. Since the translocation junctions join heterologous DNA, the molecular cloning of the fragile X sequence should now be possible.     

High-resolution mapping of human chromosome 11 by in situ hybridization with cosmid clones

Cosmid clones containing human DNA inserts have been mapped on chromosome 11 by fluorescence in situ hybridization under conditions that suppress signal from repetitive DNA sequences. Thirteen known genes, one chromosome 11-specific DNA repeat, and 36 random clones were analyzed. High-resolution mapping was facilitated by using digital imaging microscopy and by analyzing extended (prometaphase) chromosomes. The map coordinates established by in situ hybridization showed a one to one correspondence with those determined by Southern (DNA) blot analysis of hybrid cell lines containing fragments of chromosome 11. Furthermore, by hybridizing three or more cosmids simultaneously, gene order on the chromosome could be established unequivocally. These results demonstrate the feasibility of rapidly producing high-resolution maps of human chromosomes by in situ hybridization.     

Somatic cell hybrid between the established human line D98 (presumptive HeLa) and 3T3

Somatic cell hybrids have been made between an established human cell line with a long culture history and established mouse fibroblast line. When first analyzed, the hybrid cells contained nearly twice as many mouse chromosomes as the mouse parent line and a human chromosome complemnent of about half that of the human parent. There was further loss of human chromosomes on continued cultivation. This behavior resembles that of other human mouse hybrids and appears to be characteristic of the human-mouse combination. However, the number of human chromosomes is greater than in hybrids made from human diploid fibroblasts. Some clones contain more than a haptoid quantity of human DNA per cell and should synthesize a much greater number of human gene products.     

基于基因组原位杂交快速构建黄瓜变种间核型

【目的】利用基因组荧光原位杂交（genomic in situ hybridization,GISH）技术,对黄瓜（Cucumis sativus L.,2n=2x=14）种内两个变种（栽培黄瓜C. sativus var. sativus和野生黄瓜C. sativus var hardwickii）进行中期染色体分析,建立黄瓜变种染色体核型的快速分析方法,为黄瓜细胞分子遗传学研究提供基础。【方法】以栽培黄瓜‘9930’和野生黄瓜C. sativus var. hardwickii为材料,利用CTAB法提取栽培黄瓜‘9930’的基因组总DNA,采用缺刻平移法,将栽培黄瓜‘9930’基因组DNA和45S rDNA分别利用地高辛和生物素标记为探针,与栽培黄瓜‘9930’和野生变种C.sativus var. hardwickii的中期染色体进行荧光原位杂交,根据杂交结果显示的栽培黄瓜与野生变种每条染色体GISH荧光带型的不同,结合45S rDNA位点信号特征,区分栽培黄瓜与野生变种的每条染色体,并进行核型分析。【结果】荧光原位杂交结果显示,GISH信号并非平均分布于所有染色体上,而是在不同染色体的特定部位产生独特的信号,且两个变种间中期染色体的GISH信号模式差异显著。在栽培黄瓜‘9930’有丝分裂中期染色体上,除了6号染色体仅在短臂末端和近着丝粒处产生GISH信号外,其他染色体上的GISH信号集中分布于染色体的两端和近着丝粒的一侧或两侧,且每条染色体的信号特征差异明显;45S rDNA信号主要分布于‘9930’的第1、2、3、4和7号染色体的近着丝粒处,有3对强信号和2对弱信号。在野生黄瓜C. sativus var. hardwickii有丝分裂中期染色体上,杂交信号的位置及强弱与栽培黄瓜‘9930’表现明显不同,近着丝粒处均有GISH信号,但仅在第1、2、4和5号染色体的一端产生GISH信号,45S rDNA信号仅出现在第1、2和3号染色体上,表现为第1号染色体上信号极强,第2和3号染色体上信号极微弱。这些结果显示,以栽培黄瓜基因组DNA为探针的荧光原位杂交能反应出两个变种中期染色体独特的信号分布模式,通过信号的分布模式和强弱,结合45S rDNA位点信号的特异分布,可对每条染色体进行清晰地鉴别,并据此建立了两个变种的核型模式。比较前人发表的黄瓜已有重复序列的分布图,发现GISH揭示的信号分布主要位于黄瓜染色体串联重复序列区域。【结论】黄瓜基因组原位杂交能一次性快速显示基因组串联重复序列的分布图,能有效地用于不同黄瓜变种的快速核型分析;同时发现染色体上串联重复序列的分布及强弱在黄瓜变种间表现出明显的分化。

Human chromosome 12 is required for elevated HIV-1 expression in human-hamster hybrid cells

Host cell factors act together with regulatory genes of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to control virus production. Human-Chinese hamster ovary hybrid cell clones were used to probe for human chromosomes involved in regulating HIV gene expression. DNA transfection experiments showed that 4 of 18 clones had high levels of HIV gene expression measured by both extracellular virus production and transactivation of the HIV long terminal repeat in the presence of the trans-activator (tat) gene. Karyotype analyses revealed a 94% concordance (17/18) between human chromosome 12 and HIV gene expression. Other chromosomes had an 11 to 72% concordance with virus production.
