    Notes: Summary Earlier studies found that cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cotyledons contain several mRNAs which are more abundant during late embryogenesis than in mid-embryogenesis or early germination. They are here termed ‘Late embryogenesis-abundant’ mRNAs, encoded by Lea loci. Complementary DNA clones for 18 such mRNA sequences, defined at a hybridization criterion of Tm-15°C, were identified in a mature embryo cDNA library by differential cDNA hybridization. At a lower hybridization criterion, some sequence homology was found within several of these cloned Lea mRNA sequences. Each Lea mRNA sequence comprises 0.04–1.3% of mature embryo poly(A)+ mRNA, a level ten-fold to several hundred-fold higher than in young embryo or 24 h seedling poly(A)+ mRNA. Of 18 Lea mRNA sequences examined in cultured young embryos, the level of at least 13 are specifically increased by exogenous abscisic acid (ABA), several to a level near that in normal mature embryos. However, the abundance of several of the sequences does not appear to be significantly modulated by ABA. The LEA polypeptides encoded by 10 Lea mRNA sequences were identified by hybrid-arrested translation. They include most of the late embryogenesis-abundant, ABA-inducible, polypeptides previously identified. Preliminary results suggest that many of the individual Lea mRNA sequences are transcribed from 1–3 genes in each of cotton's two subgenomes.

    Translation efficiency of Lea mRNAs in cotton embryos: minor changes during embryogenesis and germination (1987)
    Springer
    Plant molecular biology 9 (1987), S. 301-313

    Keywords: Gossypium hirsutum ; embryo culture ; two-dimensional gel electrophoresis ; alloallele expression

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract In earlier studies, only two major patterns of transcript accumulation were seen for 18 late embryogenesis abundant (Lea) gene families in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) during embryogenesis and early germination. Each of these gene families probably comprises two active alloalleles. The two polypeptides encoded by seven of the Lea families can be distinguished, and analysis of their translation in vitro indicated that regulation of the homeologous transcript abundance was similar in each. In the present study, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of polypeptides synthesized in excised embryos was employed to determine if LEA polypeptide synthesis is regulated at the translational level. The relative in vivo synthesis rate of each of the two polypeptides of 7 Lea families was compared with the relative concentration of their transcripts measured earlier by in vitro translation. For 4 families, the relative translational efficiencies of the homeologous mRNAs do not change during embryogenesis. However, there are changes of 1.5–3-fold in the other 3 families. The translation efficiencies of all transcripts of 9 of the Lea family mRNAs in vivo can be calculated from the fraction of total protein radioactivity incorporated in each LEA polypeptide family and the fractional abundance of Lea family transcripts measured by RNA dot hybridization. Lea mRNAs are found to be translated at near average rates throughout embryogenesis and early germination. These observations suggest that regulation of Lea gene expression at the translational level is minor.

    Restriction fragment length polymorphisms in diploid and allotetraploid Gossypium: Assigning the late embryogenesis-abundant (Lea) alloalleles in G. hirsutum (1988)
    Springer
    Molecular genetics and genomics 211 (1988), S. 305-314

    ISSN: 1617-4623
    Keywords: Restriction fragment length polymorphisms ; Gossypium hirsutum ; Gene copy number ; Lea, vicilin, and legumin genes ; Tetraploidization
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary We have determined the copy number of 21 genes in an allotetraploid and several diploid species of cotton by gel and dot blot hybridization with cloned cDNAs. The legumin A, legumin B, and all 18 unique Lea (late embryogenesis-abundant) cDNA sequences isolated from the AD allotetraploid Gossypium hirsutum are present in one copy in A, D, E, and F diploid species and in two copies in G. hirsutum. Gel blot analysis of DNAs digested with EcoRI or BamHI usually detects different sized fragments in A and D diploids. Conservation of these restriction fragment length polymorphisms in G. hirsutum allows most of these fragments to be assigned to their respective subgenomes. Furthermore, both subgenomes in G. hirsutum can be distinguished from those in the interfertile allotetraploid G. barbadense. These results show that physical mapping of both sets of chromosomes in an allotetraploid should be possible by segregation analysis.

    The neuron-specific protein PGP 9.5 is a ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (1989)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-11-03
    Description: A complementary DNA (cDNA) for ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L3 was cloned from human B cells. The cDNA encodes a protein of 230 amino acids with a molecular mass of 26.182 daltons. The human protein is very similar to the bovine homolog, with only three amino acids differing in over 100 residues compared. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA was 54% identical to that of the neuron-specific protein PGP 9.5. Purification of bovine PGP 9.5 confirmed that it is also a ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase. These results suggest that a family of such related proteins exists and that their expression is tissue-specific.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wilkinson, K D -- Lee, K M -- Deshpande, S -- Duerksen-Hughes, P -- Boss, J M -- Pohl, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Nov 3;246(4930):670-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2530630" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Optical image quality and the cone mosaic (1986)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1986-01-31
    Description: Contrary to the orthodox view that optical image quality should "match" the photoreceptor grain, anatomical data from the eyes of various animals suggest that the image quality is significantly superior to the potential resolution of the cone mosaic in most retinal regions. A new theory is presented to explain the existence of this relation and to better appreciate eye design. It predicts that photoreceptors are potentially visible through the natural optics.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Snyder, A W -- Bossomaier, T R -- Hughes, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Jan 31;231(4737):499-501.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3941914" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Point mutations in the human vitamin D receptor gene associated with hypocalcemic rickets (1988)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1988-12-23
    Description: Hypocalcemic vitamin D-resistant rickets is a human genetic disease resulting from target organ resistance to the action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Two families with affected children homozygous for this autosomal recessive disorder were studied for abnormalities in the intracellular vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its gene. Although the receptor displays normal binding of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 hormone, VDR from affected family members has a decreased affinity for DNA. Genomic DNA isolated from these families was subjected to oligonucleotide-primed DNA amplification, and each of the nine exons encoding the receptor protein was sequenced for a genetic mutation. In each family, a different single nucleotide mutation was found in the DNA binding domain of the protein; one family near the tip of the first zinc finger (Gly----Asp) and one at the tip of the second zinc finger (Arg----Gly). The mutant residues were created in vitro by oligonucleotide directed point mutagenesis of wild-type VDR complementary DNA and this cDNA was transfected into COS-1 cells. The produced protein is biochemically indistinguishable from the receptor isolated from patients.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hughes, M R -- Malloy, P J -- Kieback, D G -- Kesterson, R A -- Pike, J W -- Feldman, D -- O'Malley, B W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 23;242(4886):1702-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2849209" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
