In order to study the relationship between the first base of the donor splice site of waxy gene intron 1 and amylose content in rice, the one-step PCR method was used to determine whether it is G or T in 220 Yunnan indigenous rice varieties from 14 districts, 55 towns/counties of Yunnan Province, and 101 varieties of which were validated by the PCR-Acc I method. According to the G/T polymorphism, 164 rice varieties showed GG-genotype, while the other 56 fell into TT-genotype, accounting for 74.5% and 25.5% of all the test varieties, respectively. When all the rice varieties were divided into indica and japonica subspecies, it was found that 80.5% of indica rice and 67.0% of japonica rice belonged to GG-genotype. The rice varieties with GG-genotype had significantly higher amylose content (18.95% on average) than those with TT-genotype (all below 16%), but 33 rice varieties with GG-genotype still had low amylose content ranging from 3.91% to 15.93%, and most of them came from the Dai minority area in the Southwest of Yunnan Province. However, there was no significant difference in the mean amylose content of the same GG or TT genotypes between indica and japonica rice, suggesting that different genetic backgrounds, indica or japonica, had no effect on amylose content. The coefficient of correlation between the genotype and amylose content was 0.733 (P<0.01).展开更多

These vectors were transduced into target cells of PA317, C2C12, primary rabbit skin fibroblasts (RSF) and primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF). The expression level of mixed colonies are PA317/pKG5i’IX, 151 "g/106 cells/24h; PA317/GINaCi’IX, 308ng/106 cells/24 h; C2C12/G1 NaCi’IX, 186 ng/106 cells/24 h; RSF/GINaCi’IX, 1929 ng/106 cells/24 h; HSF/GlNaCi’IX, 1646 ng/106 cells/ 24 h. These results indicated that hFIX minigene with nitron 1 is able to increase the expression level to about 3 times of that of hFIX cDNA. Meanwhile, in order to study the application of hFIX minigene in the retroviral-mediated gene transfer system and refrain from nitron splicing during viral production, a retroviral vector GlNaCi’IXR with reversely inserted hFIX minigene expression cassette was constructed. The expression level of reverse constructor in PA317 cells was 390 ng/106 cells/24 h with 79% of bioactivity. PCR detection of HT/GlNaCi’IXR cells infected with PA317/ClNaCi’IXR supernatant confirmed the existence of nitron 1 sequence. These results suggested that expression vector with forward-inserted intronl-carrying hFIX expression cassette can be used in directed gene Human factor IX expression with nitron transfer, but when using the retroviral-mediated gene transfer system, reversely-inserted intronl-carrying hFIX expression cassette should be considered.展开更多

The no intron character was confirmed. The plant expression vector pBI121-JRIP was constructed by inserting the JRIP gene into pBI121 plasmid. The recombinant Agrobacterium EHA105 strain harboring pBI121-JRIP was constructed by conducting pBI121-JRIP to strain EHA 105. PCR and Southern blotting were carried out, and the results proved that the JRIP gene was integrated into tobacco genome. It might provide a new material for disease resistance tobacco species breeding.展开更多

Typical HSEs in the first intron play a vital role in the heat induced expression of human hsp90β gene. Slot blot analysis shows that hsp90β gene mRNA transcripts initiated from the 3'' of the first intron dominates over that of the first exon. The intronic HSEs of the hsp90β gene show much higher binding affinity toward the recombinant heat shock factor HSF1 than that of the recombinant heat shock factor HSF2.展开更多

The breakpoint regions were sequenced, and the features of introns with available Genebank sequences were analyzed.Results An analysis of junction fragment sequences corresponding to exon 46 and 51 deletions showed that all 5' and 3' breakpoints are located within repeat sequences. No small insertions, small deletions, or point mutations are located near the breakpoint junctions. By analyzing the secondary structure of the junction fragments, we demonstrated that all junction fragment breakpoints are located in non-matching regions of single-stranded hairpin loops. A high concentration of repetitive elements is found to be a key feature of many dystrophin introns. In total, 34.8% of the overall dystrophin intron sequences is composed of repeat sequences.Conclusion Repeat elements in many dystrophin gene introns are the key to their structural bases and reflect intron instability. As a result of the primary DNA sequences, single-stranded hairpin loops form, increasing the instability of the gene, and forming the base for breaks in the DNA. The formation of the single-stranded hairpins can result in reattachment of two different breakpoints, producing a deletion.展开更多
