Molecular cloning of region-specific chorion-encoding RNA sequences.

چکیده
We have constructed a cDNA clone library from poly(A)+ RNA of very-late-period choriogenic silkmoth follicles. Clone DNAs that hybridize preferentially to RNA from the aeropyle crown region of the follicle (versus the flat region) were selected, and all could be placed in one of two homology groups. The two groups represent sequences encoding the very-late-period chorion proteins E1 and E2; this was established by hybrid-selected translation coupled with specific antibody precipitation. Regionalized synthesis of chorion proteins is restricted to the very late period, and its control can now be studied at the nucleic acid level.

Nucleotide sequence of an unusual regionally expressed silkmoth chorion RNA : Predicted primary and secondary structures of an architectural protein ( chorion morphogenesis / chorion gene evolution / consensus sequence ) JEROME
We have sequenced DNA clones corresponding to the entire coding and 5' untranslated regions and almost all of the 3' untranslated region of a silkmoth chorion RNA which is expressed largely in a subpopulation of follicular epithelial cells (aeropyle crown region). This RNA encodes the El protein, one of two components of the prominent "ifiler" that helps mold the shape ofaeropyle crowns. The co...
متن کاملExpression Cloning of Recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ Genes Encoding Cytoplasmic and Nuclear P-galactosidase Variants
Objective(s) Nonviral vector can be an attractive alternative to gene delivery in experimental study. In spite of some advantages in comparison with the viral vectors, there are still some limitations for efficiency of gene delivery in nonviral vectors. To determine the effective expression, the recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ genes were cloned into the different variants of pcDNA3.1 and the...
متن کاملMolecular Analysis of A2-genes Encoding Stage-specific S Antigen-like Proteins among Isolates from Iranian Cutaneous and Visceral Leishmaniasis
Objective(s) Leishmania can lead to a broad spectrum of diseases, collectively known as leishmaniasis. The A2 gene/ protein family could be one of the most eligible candidate factors of virulence in visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The previous results confirmed that in Leishmania infantum, several A2 proteins are abundantly expressed by the amastigote, but not the promastigote stage. As there are...
متن کاملCharacterization of cDNA sequence encoding for a novel sodium channel -toxin from the Iranian scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus venom glands
The venoms of Buthidae scorpions are known to contain basic, single-chain protein -toxins consisting of 60-70 amino acid residues that are tightly cross-linked by four disulfide bridges. Total RNA was extracted from the venom glands of scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus collected from the Khuzestan province of Iran and then cDNA was synthesized with the modified oligo (dT) primer and extracted total R...
متن کاملCloning and Sequence Analysis of Gene Encoding OipA from Iranian Clinical Helicobacter pylori
Background: Outer inflammatory protein A (OipA) is one of the important adhesins of H. pylori and a valuable candidate for vaccine development. Its gene is under "on-off" switch status which correlates with OipA protein expression. Objectives: We aimed to obtain a recombinant OipA clone (with "on" status) from an Iranian clinical isolate. Materials and Methods: A clinical H. pylori-isolate demo...
