Restriction endonuclease cleavage map of mitochondrial DNA from Aspergillus nidulans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mitochondrial DNA of the ascomycete fungus Aspergillus nidulans, a circular molecule of 31 500 base pairs, is cleaved by restriction endonucleases Eco R I, Hind II, Hind III and Bgl II into 3, 7, 9 and 5 fragments, respectively. The relative positions of the cleavage sites could be mapped by analysis of fragments obtained by double enzyme digestions of whole DNA and by complete and partial redigestion of isolated restriction fragments.

Transformation of Aspergillus nidulans by using a trpC plasmid.
We constructed a chimeric plasmid carrying a complete copy of the trifunctional trpC gene from the Ascomycete fungus Aspergillus nidulans. This plasmid, designated pHY201, replicates in Escherichia coli, where it confers resistance to ampicillin and chloramphenicol and complements trpC mutants lacking phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase activity. We used pHY201 to transform an A. nidulans trpC...
متن کاملThe restriction endonuclease cleavage map of rat liver mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial DNA from rat liver contains six sites for cleavage by the restriction endonucleases Hind III and EcoRI. A large stretch of DNA, comprising about 40% of the mitochondrial genome is not cleaved by either of the enzymes; eight cleavage sites are located on a DNA stretch of 35% of the genome length suggestive of an unequal distribution of the A - T baspairs over the molecule. The numb...

We constructed a 9.9-kilobase cloning vector, designated pKBY2, for isolating genes by complementation of mutations in Aspergillus nidulans. pKBY2 contains the bacteriophage lambda cos site, to permit in vitro assembly of phage particles; a bacterial origin of replication and genes for resistance to ampicillin and chloramphenicol, to permit propagation in Escherichia coli; the A. nidulans trpC(...

Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 83(1): 81-88 (1990) ABSTRACT Restriction endonuclease cleavage maps of mitochondrial DNAs of Scandinavian Apis mellifera mellifera L., of German, Austrian, and Yugoslavian A. m. carnica Pollman, and of Austrian "Nigra" honey bees are compared with previously published maps of mitochondrial DNA from North American bees of European ancestry and Brazilian Africanized bees. A...
متن کاملEvolutionary tree for apes and humans based on cleavage maps of mitochondrial DNA.
The high rate of evolution of mitochondrial DNA makes this molecule suitable for genealogical research on such closely related species as humans and apes. Because previous approaches failed to establish the branching order of the lineages leading to humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees, we compared human mitochondrial DNA to mitochondrial DNA from five species of ape (common chimpanzee, pygmy chim...
