In the suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) library, 672 positive clones were picked up randomly. After polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of each clone, all the single clones were sequenced. Totally 598 available sequences were obtained. After cluster analysis of the EST sequences, 80 uniESTs were obtained, among which 57 uniESTs were contigs and 23 uniESTs were singlets. The results of BLASTN showed that all the uniESTs had homologous sequences in the nr database. The BLASTX results indicated that 68 uniESTs had significant protein homology, 8 uniESTs with homology of unknown proteins and putative proteins, and 4 uniESTs without protein homology. Those drought stress-induced genes were involved in many metabolism pathways to regulate plant growth and development under drought stress.展开更多

METHODS: Five MTZ-resistant (tester, T) and 1 MTZ-susceptible (driver, D) clinical H pylori isolates were selected. Genomic DNAs were prepared and submitted to RsaⅠdigestion. Then two different adaptors were ligated respectively to the 5'-end of two aliquots of the tester DNA fragments and SSH was made between the tester and driver DNAs. The specific inserts of tester strains were screened and MTZ-resistance related gene fragments were identified by dot blotting. RESULTS: Among the randomly selected 120 subtractive colonies, 37 DNA fragments had a different number of DNA copies (≥ 2 times) in resistant and susceptible strains and 17 of them had a significantly different number of DNA copies (≥ 3 times). Among the sequences obtained from the 17 DNA fragments, new sequences were found in 10 DNA fragments and duplicated sequences in 7 DNA fragments, representing respectively the sequences of depeptide ABC transporter periplasmic dipeptide-binding protein (dppA), permease protein (dppB), ribosomal protein S4 (rps4), ribonuclease Ⅲ (rnc), protease (pqqE), diaminopimelate epimerase (dapF), acetatekinase (ackA), H pylori plasmid pHP51 and H pylori gene 1334. CONCLUSION: Gene fragments specific to MTZ-resistant H pylori strains can be screened by SSH and may be associated with MTZ-resistant H pylori.展开更多
