Obstruction of adaptation in diploids by recessive, strongly deleterious alleles.
Recessive deleterious mutations are common, causing many genetic disorders in humans and producing inbreeding depression in the majority of sexually reproducing diploids. The abundance of recessive deleterious mutations in natural populations suggests they are likely to be present on a chromosome when a new adaptive mutation occurs, yet the dynamics of recessive deleterious hitchhikers and thei...
متن کاملConserved hydrophobic amino acid residues in the N-terminal region of DnaA protein are involved in DnaA-DnaA interaction.
We previously reported that a leucine-zipper-like structure (I26, L33 and L40) located in the N-terminal region of DnaA is essential for the duplex opening at oriC by DnaA. In this study, we focused on three other conserved hydrophobic amino acid residues, L3, L10 and L17, and examined the function of DnaA proteins mutated in these amino acid residues. DnaA427 (L17S) and DnaA413 (L3S, L10S and ...
متن کاملChange in Recessive Lethal Alleles Frequency in Inbred Populations
In a population practicing consanguineous marriage, rare recessive lethal alleles (RRLA) have higher chances of affecting phenotypes. As inbreeding causes more homozygosity and subsequently more deaths, the loss of individuals with RRLA decreases the frequency of these alleles. Although this phenomenon is well studied in general, here some hitherto unstudied cases are presented. An analytical f...
متن کاملRheumatoid-susceptible alleles of HLA-DRB1 are genetically recessive to non-susceptible alleles in the progression of bone destruction in the wrists and fingers of patients with RA.
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between HLA-DRB1 genotypes and the progression of bone destruction in Japanese patients with RA. METHODS The HLA-DRB1 alleles were determined by polymerase chain reaction and allele specific oligonucleotide probe techniques in 160 Japanese patients with RA. HLA-DR 0101, 0401, 0404, 0405, 1001 and 1402 were regarded as susceptible alleles of RA according to...
متن کاملThe DnaA Tale
More than 50 years have passed since the presentation of the Replicon Model which states that a positively acting initiator interacts with a specific site on a circular chromosome molecule to initiate DNA replication. Since then, the origin of chromosome replication, oriC, has been determined as a specific region that carries sequences required for binding of positively acting initiator protein...
