    Chromosome constitution of highly motile mouse sperm (1990)

    Notes: In this study, we address the relationship between motility and genetic content of mouse sperm. The chromosome complements of highly motile mouse sperm, selected using the swim-up technique, were analyzed after in vitro fertilization, at the first cleavage state. They were compared to those of unselected sperm. Identification of male and female chromosome sets was possible because of their differential condensation at the first mitotic division. In vitro fertilization, swim-up separation, chromosome preparation, and staining were carried out using standard techniques. The results indicate that highly motile mouse sperm did not differ in types and frequencies of chromosomal abnormalities from those not selected for motility. Moreover, separation of motile sperm does not deviate the sex ratio from the theoretical 1:1.

    Notes: A major effort in the analysis of DNA currently focuses on identifying genes and their pathological variants underlying disease. Once such disease genes have been isolated a major task of molecular medicine is to identify the spectrum of DNA sequence variations responsible for the aberrant function of such genes. These efforts, however, are hindered by the vast amount of genetic information to scan for variations and the limited capacity of analytical techniques in terms of accuracy and speed. Recently, a number of techniques were developed, so-called “genome scanning” techniques, which allow complete genomes to be analyzed for sequence variation in parallel, i.e., at multiple sites or loci simultaneously rather than serially at predefined loci. Here we present the background and applications of a particular electrophoretic parallel processing approach, generically termed two-dimensional DNA typing. The approach is based on separating DNA fragments by two-dimensional electrophoresis [1], including denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, thus allowing hundreds of fragments to be simultaneously assessed by comparative analysis for variations in size and sequence. The method is suitable for hybridization analysis with locus-specific and multilocus probes of genomic DNA restriction fragments derived from human and other DNA, and for analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments derived from large genes. Two-dimensional DNA typing has been applied, e.g., in linkage analysis of pedigrees, analysis of tumor genomes for rearrangements, and to scan the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene for sequence variations such as point mutations.

    Genomic mismatch scanning: Current progress and potential applications (1995)

    Notes: Genomic mismatch scanning (GMS) is a new method of genetic mapping which attempts to purify and map the regions of identity between two complex genomes in a single test. Identical DNA fragments from two genomic sources are enriched in two steps: (i) after reannealing of the two genomes, heterohybrids are purified by using a combination of a restriction methylase and methylation-sensitive endonucleases, (ii) heterohybrids that contain mismatches are nicked in vitro by the E. coli MutHLS mismatch repair system and are eliminated subsequently from the pool, leaving only mismatch-free heterohybrids. The genomic origin of this selected pool of DNA fragments is then mapped in a single hybridization step onto metaphase chromosomes or ordered DNA arrays. The principal advantages of GMS are (i) it approaches the theoretical limit of mapping power and resolution offered by an arbitrarily dense set of completely informative polymorphic markers and (ii) it results in a great increase in the effective number of informative markers without a corresponding increase in the number of individual tests. Thus, it should provide an efficient method for affected-relative-pair linkage mapping and for linkage disequilibrium mapping. In addition, a variation of GMS may allow rapid genomic scanning for regions of homozygosity-by-descent or somatic loss-of-heterozygosity. The feasibility of GMS has been validated in the 15 mb genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This article discusses the principles of GMS, the application to more complex genomes, and the possible uses of GMS.

    Notes: Polypeptides solubilized from established normal and variant cell lines of Nicotiana tabacum L cv “Wisconsin 38” have been analyzed by one-dimensional and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. There was little variability observed in the polypeptide profile in an established cell line; polypeptides present in different clonal lines of cells, all derived from an initial established cell culture, were very similar, if not identical. However, a large fraction of the observed polypeptides present in cytokinin-habituated cell lines (up to 3.8% of the total polypeptides analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis) were different from those found in the cytokinin-requiring cells from which they were selected. The habituated nature of the selected cell lines was demonstrated to be epigenetic; tissue cultures that were reisolated from plantlets regenerated from habituated cell lines did require cytokinin. Further observations demonstrate: (1) that epigenetic events that alter a cellular phenotype change the expression of a relatively large number of polypeptides, (2) that a single epigenetic phenotype may be the result of any one of a number of possible patterns of gene expression, and (3) that epigenetic events are not random events.

    Pink-eyed dilution alleles affect negative surface charges of mouse spermatozoa (1979)

    Notes: Abnormal spermiogenesis in sterile pink-eyed dilution mutants results in spermatozoa with bizarre sperm heads. The spermatozoa of normal mice bind colloidal iron hydroxide (CIH) along the length of the tail, yet the spermatozoa of pink-eyed sterile mice show a great reduction in ability to bind CIH. This implies a loss of negative surface charges. The group(s) responsible for the charges are sensitive to methylation but resistant to neuraminidase treatment, even after deacetylation with alkaline treatment. The membrane components containing the negatively charged groups may be neuraminidase-resistant forms of gangliosides.

    A genetic system for alternative stable characteristics in genomically identical homozygous clones (1979)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Paramecium tetraurelia, stock d113, although completely homozygous, produces two kinds of genomically identical clones: N (nondischarge) clones incapable of trichocyst exocytosis (discharge) from intact cells in response to picric acid; and D (discharge) clones that do respond. These alternatives are irreversibly determined (at 27°C) during a determination sensitive period the first day after fertilization (autogamy, conjugation, or cytogamy): D parents are always determined to produce D progeny; N parents produce mostly N progeny if kept in exhausted medium, but mostly D progeny if kept in bacterized nutrient medium, throughout the sensitive period. If connecting bridges between mates persist long after the time for pair separation, the N member of N×D conjugant and cytogamous pairs produces D progeny even if exposed to exhausted medium throughout the sensitive period, thus indicating the presence in D mates of a D-determining cytoplasmic factor, δ, which overrides effects of external conditions. N and D determinations are brought about on newly developing somatic nuclei (macronuclear anlagen). After macronuclear development has been completed, determination is irreversible in it and its descendant macronuclei. M (mixed) clones produce N, D, and partial D cells; within these clones, diverse subclones can be selected. Crosses of d113 (N)×standard wild stock 51 (D) yield no segregation in F2, indicating no genomic difference between d113 (N) and wild type (D), δ may be a genic product regulating its own production. This results in “cytoplasmic inheritance” of D vs N in crosses of D×N followed by exhausted medium during the sensitive period. As with the only other well-analyzed comparable example, mating types, neither a genetic nor an epigenetic interpretation has yet been excluded for this system of developmental differentiation.

    Biochemical and genetic analysis of a mutant with altered alkaline phosphatase activity in Dictyostelium discoideum (1979)

    Notes: Alkaline phosphatase is one of several enzymes that accumulate in a temporally regulated sequence during the development of Dictyostelium discoideum. These enzymes can be used to monitor specific gene expression; moreover, isolation and analysis of mutations in the structural gene(s) can serve to indicate some of the essential steps in programmed synthesis and morphogenesis. A mutation (alpA) which affects the activity and substrate affinity of alkaline phosphatase was isolated in D discoideum using a procedure for screening large numbers of clones. Alkaline phosphatase activity at all stages of vegetative growth and development was altered by the mutation. Several physical properties of the enzyme from growing cells and developed cells were compared and found to be indistinguishable. It is likely that a single enzyme is responsible for the majority of alkaline phosphatase activity in growth and development. The mutation is coexpressed in diploids heterozygous for alpA and maps to linkage group III. One of the haploid segregants isolated from these diploids carries convenient markers on each of the six defined linkage groups and can be used for linkage analysis of other genetic loci.

    The chorion defect of the ocelliless mutation caused by abnormal follicle cell function (1979)

    Notes: Homozygous Drosophila females bearing the ocelliless mutation are sterile and produce oocytes with abnormal chorions. It has been possible to determine in which tissues these defects reside by generating ovarian chimeras. Pole cells from ocelliless female embryos can give rise to functional oocytes surrounded by normal chorions when placed in a wild-type environment. Conversely, when wild-type pole cells are placed in homozygous ocelliless females, the oocytes that form from them have abnormal chorions and never give rise to progeny. Thus the chorion defect and sterility of the ocelliless mutation are not germ-line autonomous. Homozygous ocelliless ovaries will attach to the uterus when placed in a wild-type third instar larva, but few eggs are ever laid, and the chorions of stage 14 oocytes remain ocelliless in morphology. Wild-type ovaries continue to produce oocytes with normal chorion morphology when placed into ocelliless hosts, indicating that the ocelliless chorion defect is ovary autonomous. Thus the chorion defect of the ocelliless mutation resides in the ovarian somatic tissue, presumably the follicle cells.

    Recombinant DNA analysis indicates that the multiple chromosomes of maize mitochondria contain different sequences (1979)

    Notes: Twenty-eight Bam H 1 restriction fragments were isolated from normal mitochondrial DNA of maize by recombinant DNA techniques to investigate the organization of the mitochondrial genome. Each cloned fragment was tested by molecular hybridization against a Bam digest of total mitochondrial DNA. Using Southern transfers, we identified the normal fragment of origin for d each clone. Twenty-three of the tested clones hybridized only to the fragment from which the clone was derived. In five cases, labeling of an additional band indicated some sequence repetition in the mitochondrial genome. Four clones from normal mitochondrial DNA were found which share sequences with the plasmid-like DNAs, S-1 and S-2, found in S male sterile cytoplasm. The total sequence complexity of the clones tested is 121×106 d (daltons), which approximates two thirds of the total mitochondrial genome (estimated at 183×106 d).Most fragments do not share homology with other fragments, and the total length of unique fragments exceeds that of the largest circular molecules observed. Therefore, the different size classes of circular molecules most likely represent genetically discrete chromosomes in a complex organelle genome. The variable abundance of different mitochondrial chromosomes is of special interest because it represents an unusual mechanism for the control of gene expression by regulation of gene copy number. This mechanism may play an important role in metabolism or biogenesis of mitochondria in the development of higher plants.
