Cloning and sequencing of the complicated rDNA gene family of Bos taurus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rDNA genes coding for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in animals are repeat sequences with high GC content and complicated structure. Based on the sequences of human ribosomal DNA repeat unit and transcription unit and the long and accurate PCR method with LA Taq DNA polymerase and GC buffer, we were able to amplify the complicated repeat sequences of rDNA genes in Bos taurus. Three rDNA genes and 2 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) fragments were cloned and confirmed by sequencing. The conditions for the cloning of complicated DNA sequences such as special rules of primer design, improvement of the reaction system, selection of DNA polymerase and adjustment of cycle parameters were discussed.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal infectious neurodegenerative disease in cattle, characterized by the accumulation of an abnormal, proteaseresistant prion protein (PrPSc) in the brain. BSE is similar to scrapie in sheep and goats and Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. Susceptibility in cattle hasbeen shown to be under the influence of two polymorphic locations, which are...

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is one of the key cytokines in defining T helper 1 lymphocyte immuneresponses. In this study, the bovine IFN-γ gene was cloned from spleen tissue RNA using the reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). IFN-γ cDNA was sub-cloned and expressed inmammalian expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1(+)) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV)promoter. The pred...
