Complete nucleotide sequence of Tn10.

ABSTRACT: The complete nucleotide sequence of Tn10 has been determined. The dinucleotide signature and percent G+C of the sequence had no discontinuities, indicating that Tn10 constitutes a homogeneous unit. The new sequence contained three new open reading frames corresponding to a glutamate permease, repressors of heavy metal resistance operons, and a hypothetical protein in Bacillus subtilis. The glutamate permease was fully functional when expressed, but Tn10 did not protect Escherichia coli from the toxic effects of various metals.

Complete nucleotide sequence of polyomavirus SA12.

Project description:The Polyomaviridae have small icosahedral virions that contain a genome of approximately 5,000 bp of circular double-stranded DNA. Polyomaviruses infect hosts ranging from humans to birds, and some members of this family induce tumors in test animals or in their natural hosts. We report the complete nucleotide sequence of simian agent 12 (SA12), whose natural host is thought to be Papio ursinus, the chacma baboon. The 5,230-bp genome has a genetic organization typical of polyomaviruses. Sequences encoding large T antigen, small t antigen, agnoprotein, and the viral capsid proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3 are present in the expected locations. We show that, like its close relative simian virus 40 (SV40), SA12 expresses microRNAs that are encoded by the late DNA strand overlapping the 3' end of large T antigen coding sequences. Based on sequence comparisons, SA12 is most closely related to BK virus (BKV), a human polyomavirus. We have developed a real-time PCR test that distinguishes SA12 from BKV and the other closely related polyomaviruses JC virus and SV40. The close relationship between SA12 and BKV raises the possibility that these viruses circulate between human and baboon hosts.

The complete nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage HP1 DNA.

Project description:The complete nucleotide sequence of the temperate phage HP1 of Haemophilus influenzae was determined. The phage contains a linear, double-stranded genome of 32 355 nt with cohesive termini. Statistical methods were used to identify 41 probable protein coding segments organized into five plausible transcriptional units. Regions encoding proteins involved in recombination, replication, transcriptional control, host cell lysis and phage production were identified. The sizes of proteins in the mature HP1 particle were determined to assist in identifying genes for structural proteins. Similarities between HP1 coding sequences and those in databases, as well as similar gene organizations and control mechanisms, suggest that HP1 is a member of the P2-like phage family, with strong similarities to coliphages P2 and 186 and some similarity to the retronphage Ec67.

Complete nucleotide sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae multiresistance plasmid pJHCMW1.

Project description:The multiresistance plasmid pJHCMW1, harbored by a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated from a neonate with meningitis, was sequenced. A circular sequence of 11,354 bp was generated, of which 7,993 bp make up Tn1331, a transposon including the antibiotic resistance genes aac(6')-Ib, aadA1, bla(OXA-9), and bla(TEM-1). The gene aac(6')-Ib is included in a gene cassette, and both aadA1 and bla(OXA-9) are included in a single-gene cassette that may have arisen as a consequence of a recombination event involving two integrons. The pJHCMW1 plasmid replicates through a ColE1-like RNA-regulated mechanism, includes a functional oriT, and two loci with similarity to XerCD site-specific recombination target sites involved in plasmid stabilization by the resolution of multimers. One of these two loci, mwr, is active and has been the subject of previous studies, and the other, dxs, is not functional but binds the recombinase XerD with low affinity. Two additional open reading frames were identified, one with low similarity to two hypothetical membrane proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae and the other with low similarity to psiB, a gene encoding a function that facilitates the establishment of the transferring plasmid in the recipient bacterial cell during the process of conjugation.

Complete nucleotide sequence and transcriptional analysis of snakehead fish retrovirus.

Project description:The complete genome of the snakehead fish retrovirus has been cloned and sequenced, and its transcriptional profile in cell culture has been determined. The 11.2-kb provirus displays a complex expression pattern capable of encoding accessory proteins and is unique in the predicted location of the env initiation codon and signal peptide upstream of gag and the common splice donor site. The virus is distinguishable from all known retrovirus groups by the presence of an arginine tRNA primer binding site. The coding regions are highly divergent and show a number of unusual characteristics, including a large Gag coiled-coil region, a Pol domain of unknown function, and a long, lentiviral-like, Env cytoplasmic domain. Phylogenetic analysis of the Pol sequence emphasizes the divergent nature of the virus from the avian and mammalian retroviruses. The snakehead virus is also distinct from a previously characterized complex fish retrovirus, suggesting that discrete groups of these viruses have yet to be identified in the lower vertebrates.

Complete nucleotide sequence of primitive vertebrate immunoglobulin light chain genes.

Project description:Antibody to Heterodontus francisci (horned shark) immunoglobulin light chain was used to screen a spleen cDNA expression library, and recombinant clones encoding light chain genes were isolated. The complete sequences of the mature coding regions of two light chain genes in this phylogenetically distant vertebrate have been determined and are reported here. Comparisons of the sequences are consistent with the presence of mammalian-like framework and complementarity-determining regions. The predicted amino acid sequences of the genes are more related to mammalian lambda than to kappa light chains. The nucleotide sequences of the genes are most related to mammalian T-cell antigen receptor beta chain. Heterodontus light chain genes may reflect characteristics of the common ancestor of immunoglobulin and T-cell antigen receptors before its evolutionary diversification.

Complete nucleotide sequence of the chlorarachniophyte nucleomorph: nature's smallest nucleus.

Project description:The introduction of plastids into different heterotrophic protists created lineages of algae that diversified explosively, proliferated in marine and freshwater environments, and radically altered the biosphere. The origins of these secondary plastids are usually inferred from the presence of additional plastid membranes. However, two examples provide unique snapshots of secondary-endosymbiosis-in-action, because they retain a vestige of the endosymbiont nucleus known as the nucleomorph. These are chlorarachniophytes and cryptomonads, which acquired their plastids from a green and red alga respectively. To allow comparisons between them, we have sequenced the nucleomorph genome from the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans: at a mere 373,000 bp and with only 331 genes, the smallest nuclear genome known and a model for extreme reduction. The genome is eukaryotic in nature, with three linear chromosomes containing densely packed genes with numerous overlaps. The genome is replete with 852 introns, but these are the smallest introns known, being only 18, 19, 20, or 21 nt in length. These pygmy introns are shown to be miniaturized versions of normal-sized introns present in the endosymbiont at the time of capture. Seventeen nucleomorph genes encode proteins that function in the plastid. The other nucleomorph genes are housekeeping entities, presumably underpinning maintenance and expression of these plastid proteins. Chlorarachniophyte plastids are thus serviced by three different genomes (plastid, nucleomorph, and host nucleus) requiring remarkable coordination and targeting. Although originating by two independent endosymbioses, chlorarachniophyte and cryptomonad nucleomorph genomes have converged upon remarkably similar architectures but differ in many molecular details that reflect two distinct trajectories to hypercompaction and reduction.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the maize chlorotic mottle virus genome.

Project description:The complete nucleotide sequence of the maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) genome has been determined to be 4437 nucleotides. The viral genome has four long open reading frames (ORFs) which could encode polypeptides of 31.6, 50, 8.9 and 25.1 kd. If the termination codons, for the polypeptides encoded by the 50 and 8.9 kd ORFs are suppressed, readthrough products of 111 and 32.7 kd result. The 31.6 and 50 kd ORFs overlap for nearly the entire length of the 31.6 kd ORF. Striking amino acid homology has been observed between two potential polypeptides encoded by MCMV and polypeptides encoded by carnation mottle virus (CarMV) and turnip crinkle virus (TCV). The 25.1 kd ORF most likely encodes the capsid protein. The similar genome organization and amino acid sequence homology of MCMV with CarMV and TCV suggest an evolutionary relationship with these members of the carmovirus group.

Complete nucleotide sequence of Dendrocalamus latiflorus and Bambusa oldhamii chloroplast genomes.

Project description:Although bamboo is one of the most important woody crops in Asia, information on its genome is still very limited. To investigate the relationship among Poaceae members and to understand the mechanism of albino mutant generation in vitro, the complete chloroplast genome of two economically important bamboo species, Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro and Bambusa oldhamii Munro, was determined employing a strategy that involved polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using 443 novel primers designed to amplify the chloroplast genome of these two species. The lengths of the B. oldhamii and D. latiflorus chloroplast genomes are 139,350 and 139,365 bp, respectively. The organization structure and the gene order of these two bamboos are identical to other members of Poaceae. Highly conserved chloroplast genomes of Poaceae facilitated sequencing by the PCR method. Phylogenetic analysis using both chloroplast genomes confirmed the results obtained from studies on chromosome number and reproductive organ morphology. There are 23 gaps, insertions/deletions > 100 bp, in the chloroplast genomes of 10 genera of Poaceae compared in this study. The phylogenetic distribution of these gaps corresponds to their taxonomic placement. The sequences of these two chloroplast genomes provide useful information for studying bamboo evolution, ecology and biotechnology.

Complete nucleotide sequence and annotation of the temperate corynephage ?16 genome.

Project description:The complete genome of ?16, a temperate corynephage from Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21792, was sequenced and annotated (GenBank: KY250482). The electron microscopy study of ?16 virion confirmed that it belongs to the family Siphoviridae. The ?16 genome consists of a linear double-stranded DNA molecule of 58,200 bp (G+C = 52.2%) with protruding cohesive 3'-ends of 14 nt. Four major structural proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and identified by peptide mass fingerprinting technique. Using bioinformatics analysis, 101 putative ORFs and 5 tRNA genes were predicted. Only 27 putative gene products could be assigned to known biological functions. The ?16 genome was divided into functional modules. Seven putative promoters and eight putative unidirectional intrinsic terminators were predicted. One site of putative «-1» programmed ribosomal frameshifting was proposed in the phage tail assembly genome region. C. glutamicum genetic tools could be broadened by exploiting the known integrase gene (gp33) and the newly identified excisionase gene (gp47), participating in site-specific recombination between ?16-attP/attB.
