Abstract:

Assembly of the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genome requires high resolution maps for aligning contig-based physical maps along chromosomes. Genetic maps lack accurate information on the physical position of almost half of the barley genome located in recombination-poor regions. Radiation hybrid (RH) mapping is an alternative approach, which is based on radiation-induced chromosomal deletions. In this study, an RH population for barley chromosome 3H was developed. Genotyping 373 3H-RH lines with 113 markers resulted in an RH map with an average resolution of 2.22 Kb. Compared to an analogous genetic map, the 3H-RH map resolution was 9.53-X higher, reaching to >262.40-X better resolution in the centromeric region. We suggest that RH maps would facilitate assembly of the barley genome. For future RH studies of the barley genome, an optimum genotyping platform, consisting of 400,536 barley-specific repeat junction markers (RJMs), was developed.

Full text

Abstract:

A gene dosage study was conducted on a rare complete trisomy 22 human fibroblast cell line utilizing three lysosomal enzymes, ∝-iduronidase, ∝-galactosidase B, and arylsulfatase A, whose genes are located on chromosome 22 and two control enzymes, ,β-hexosaminidase A and -- fucosidase, with genes not on chromosome 22. A gene dosage effect was clearly demonstrated for an early passage number of the fibroblasts; however, later passage numbers gave inconclusive results. This study suggests that gene dosage studies must be carefully designed to be conducted only on early, matched passage number cells. ∝-fucosidase gave anomalous results most likely due to pleiotropic effects. The present gene dosage study confirmed the trisomic nature of the cell line studied and suggests that this type of study may be a useful diagnostic tool for small deletions, additions, or unbalanced translocations.

Abstract:

This thesis describes a) the isolation and mapping of new markers from human chromosome 11q12-13 and b) the mutational analysis of a gene from this region as a candidate for an inherited deafness syndrome. A number of markers were concentrated in a sub region of 11q13 which had been linked to several important disorders, and these were used to isolate YACs. Thus the formation of a cloned DNA map of the region was initiated. In parallel I examined the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) gene as a candidate for Usher Syndrome Type IB, by DNA sequencing and mutational analysis of affected individuals. Usher syndrome is characterised by deafness and retinitis pigmentosa. In Type I, vestibular dysfunction is also a feature of the disorder. The disorder is genetically heterogeneous and for each subtype several genetic loci have been linked in individual populations: Type IB has been linked to 11q13. A stereociliary defect was proposed, and the mapping of OMP to the linked region, its expression in olfactory nasal cilia and the CNS, and the mapping of the mouse OMP gene to the synthetic region on mouse chromosome 7 very close to Shaker-1, a possible mouse homologue of Usher syndrome type I, justified close examination of OMP as a candidate for both disorders. A human genomic clone was therefore obtained and sequenced, several different methods of mutation detection compared, and the value of the chemical mismatch cleavage technique demonstrated. At the same time, comparative mapping was carried out by mapping candidates from the Shaker-1 nonrecombinant region on the somatic cell hybrid panel. Variants of the OMP gene were identified, but were formally excluded as candidates when a gene located very close to OMP was shown by others to be mutated in Shaker-1 mice and USHIB patients.

Thesis (MSc (Genetics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.
The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), is a serious insect pest of wheat and barley. It affects the quality and yield of grain by sucking plant sap from the newest growth whilst toxic substances are injected that destroy plant tissue. The Russian wheat aphid also acts as a vector of plant viruses. The cultivation of aphid resistant cultivars is the preferred control strategy and nine resistance genes, designated Dn1 to Dn9, have been identified. Another undesignated gene, Dnx, was found in the wheat accession PI220127. Mapping of the resistance genes relative to known markers will improve their use in breeding programs. The dominant RWA resistance gene, Dn5, was identified in the accession PI294994 and mapped to chromosome arm 7DL. However, recent reports have placed Dn5 on ...

Abstract:

The replication of DNA, its compaction and segregation in dividingcells are challenges which all organisms are faced with. Ensuringthat these processes occur without error is essential for thesurvival of the organism. While the major mechanisms governingchromosome replication and segregation have been elucidated ineukaryotic organisms, analogous processes and their details inprokaryotic organisms have been more challenging to analyse. Inorder to understand the processes behind the localisation of thechromosome during cell division, this project has aimed atanalysing the dynamics of 13 fluorescently labelled loci over thecell cycle of Escherichia coli. The results of this project can beused for further analysis of the chromosome in a large-scale studywhere more loci are analysed to map the dynamics of the wholechromosome.The fluorescent labelling was achieved by introducing the parSsequence at the chosen sites with lambda-Red recombination andexpression of ParB fused to the fluorescent protein mCherry. Thesequence was successfully introduced at eight different positionsin eight separate strains. The introduced parS/ParB system wasconfirmed to result in fluorescent foci by fluorescence microscopyimaging of the strains on agarose pads. Three of these strainswere analysed in a microfluidic PDMS chip platform withfluorescence microscopy. Microfluidic systems provide an advantageof capturing large amounts of cells and making it possible toanalyse them continuously in the same conditions. Combining thesesystems with bright-field, phase contrast and fluorescenceimaging, the growth rates of the cells and dynamics of thefluorescent foci were successfully analysed over several hours.

Abstract:

An 8-Mb yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contig has been constructed spanning 9 cM on mouse proximal chromosome 18. The contig consists of 49 YAC clones that cover roughly 15% of the chromosome. The map was assembled based on the presence or absence of 38 DNA microsatellites, from proximal DI8Mit109 through distal D18Mit68. The physical order of those microsatellite STSs have been assigned. The locations of 21 known genes including markers near twirler (Tw) and the recently isolated Niemann-Pick type C1 (Npc1), formerly designated as spm (sphingomyelinosis), are delimited on this physical map. Mouse Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (Npc1) is an autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder. We generated a high resolution linkage map in the 2.24 cM Npc1 critical region by typing 8 polymorphic markers in 2322 meioses. A minimal set of overlapping yeast artificial chromosome (YACs) has been assembled. The YAC 313-B-8 which covers this whole region, has been used to construct a cosmid library. Three cosmid contigs were built and one of them contained the Npc1 locus. Two (CA)n microsatellites were identified and characterized from the YAC derived cosmids. The most proximal cosmid contig overlaps with the markers near twirler gene (Tw). These identified YACs and cosmid clones will be an important resource for mouse geneticists wishing to further characterize the Npc1 gene and identify Tw and other genes in this region. The physical map and genetic linkage map were integrated to study the recombination frequencies in this particular mouse genome region. On average, it showed a recombination ratio of cM/Mb > 1.1. However, there is no recombination in the 300 Kb Npc1 critical region. We believe that the 703 bp deletion and 824 bp insertion of nonhomologous sequences in the mutation of Npc1 inhibits the occurrence of recombination in the region. These results confirm previous studies showing that recombination in mice is sensitive to heterozygous deletions or insertions of DNA fragments.

Abstract:

Understanding chromosome structure and genome organization of Culicine mosquitoes can potentially contribute to the development of novel approaches to vector control. However, because of highly repetitive nature of the Aedes and Culex genomes, the structure of their polytene chromosomes is damaged by ectopic contacts that make the analysis difficult. Mitotic chromosomes from imaginal discs of 4th instar larvae of Aedes aegypti were tested as a source for the physical genome mapping for this mosquito. Chromosomes in imaginal discs are 10 times more abundant than chromosomes in nervous ganglia, and they do not accumulate chromosomal mutation as cell line chromosomes do. Prometaphase chromosomes in imaginal discs of Ae. aegypti are 4-5 times longer than metaphase chromosomes and can provide higher resolution for physical mapping. Cold temperature (+16°C) was proven to increase the number of the chromosomes. Hypotonic solution treatment of live larvae was proven to elongate chromosomes and improve banding patterns. We differentially stained these mitotic chromosomes with Giemsa and YOYO-1 to revile the banding pattern. We applied fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure developed for human chromosomes to Ae. aegypti chromosomes. A strain from Culex pipiens, Cx. quinquefasciatus and their hybrids from the natural population in Virginia was successfully colonized in the laboratory. This strain can be used as a reliable source for cytogenetic studies.

Abstract:

Migraine, comprised of migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO), is a painful neurovascular disease, affecting approximately 16% of the general population. It is characterised by a wide variety of symptoms including headache, nausea and vomiting, and photo- and phonophobia. The disorder is complex involving not only multiple genes, but also specific environmental factors, which can induce attacks in genetically predisposed individuals. Hyperhomocysteinaemia is a known risk factor for cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular and coronary heart disease. The Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) enzyme is involved in homocysteine metabolism. Furthermore, it has been reported that a homozygous mutation (677C to T; Ala to Val) in the 5,10-MTHFR gene is associated with an elevation in plasma homocysteine levels (Frosst et al., 1995). This common mutation in the MTHFR gene has recently been associated with migraine with aura in a Japanese cohort (Kowa et al., 2000). The present study was designed to determine the prevalence of the MTHFR C677T mutation in Australian patients with migraine and to determine whether this mutation is associated with the disease in Caucasians. A large case-control study, consisting of 270 patients with migraine (167 with aura and 103 without aura), and 270 normal matched controls was investigated. Genotypic results indicated that the prevalence of the homozygous (T/T) genotype in migraine sufferers (15%) was higher than that of controls (9%) (P = 0.084). Furthermore, the frequency of the mutant (T/T) genotype in individuals with MA (19%) was significantly higher than in controls (9%) (P = 0.006). Interestingly, the risk of MA was ~2.5-fold higher in suffers possessing the homozygous variant (OR = 2.52, CI: 1.42 - 4.47, P = 0.0012). To confirm the MTHFR allelic association with MA, family-based tests were performed in an independent pedigrees group, where only those with MA were considered affected. Results from both the Pedigree Disequilibrium Test (PDT) and Family-Based Association Test (FBAT) analysis revealed slight, although not significant (PDT test, P = 132; and FBAT test, P = 0.390), over-transmission of the mutant allele (T) from parents to affected offspring. However, despite the MTHFR variant having a high heterozygosity (0.48), there were a limited number of informative transmissions for the MTHFR variant in the pedigree group resulting in reduced power for these tests. In conclusion, our results support the trends reported in the Japanese migraine study and suggest that the homozygous 677T gene variant causing mild hyperhomocysteinaemia, is a genetic risk factor for migraine, and indicate that further studies investigating the role of this gene are warranted. Mutations in various ion channel genes are responsible for neurovascular and other neurological disorders. Inherited ion channel mutations or "channelopathies" are increasingly found to be the cause of various neurological disorders in humans. Wittekindt and colleagues (1998) reported that the calcium-activated potassium channel (hKCa3) gene is a good candidate for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BD), as well as for other neurological disorders such as migraine. The hKCa3 gene is a neuronal small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, which contains a polyglutamine tract, encoded by a polymorphic CAG repeat in the gene. The hKCa3 gene encodes a protein of 731 amino acids containing two adjacent polyglutamine sequences in its N-terminal domain separated by 25 amino acids. The C-terminal polyglutamine sequence is highly polymorphic in length (Austin et al., 1999). hKCa3 plays a critical role in determining the firing pattern of neurons via the generation of slow after-polarization pulses and the regulation of intracellular calcium channels (Kohler et al., 1996). Three distinct mutations in the a1 calcium channel gene have been shown to cause SCA-6, episodic ataxia-2 and familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) (Ophoff et al., 1996). The hKCa3 gene contains a highly polymorphic CAG repeat that was initially mapped (Chandy et al., 1997) to a schizophrenia locus on chromosome 22 (Pulver et al., 1994). Recently Austin et al (1999) re-mapped hKCa3 and found it to reside on chromosome 1q21, a region that has been linked to FHM (Austin et al., 1999), a rare subtype of MA (Ducros et al., 1997; Gardner et al., 1998), and a region recently showing genetic linkage to typical migraine (Lea et al., 2002). The hKCa3 polymorphism results in small variations in polyglutamine number, similar to those that occur in the calcium channel a1a subunit gene (CACNA1A), which is encoded by CAG expansions and thought to cause Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 6 via loss of channel function (Austin et al., 1999). Given the recent linkage of FHM to the region of chromosome 1q21, to which hKCa3 resides, and also linkage of typical migraine to this region, a large case-control study investigating this hKCa3 CAG marker and consisting of 270 migraine and 270 stringently matched healthy controls was undertaken. Our results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in allele distributions for this marker between migraine and non-migraine patients (P >0.05). No significant difference in the allelic distribution was observed in the MA or MO groups when compared to controls (P >0.05) and there was no significant difference in CAG repeat length distribution between the migraine group and controls (P = 0.92), or between the MA and MO groups (P = 0.72) collectively. Hence, the CAG repeat in this gene does not show expansion in migraine. Overall, our results provide no genetic evidence to suggest that the hKCa3 CAG repeat polymorphism is involved in migraine aetiology in Australian Caucasians. Thus the involvement of the hKCa3 gene in migraine is not likely, although the hKCa3 gene remains an important candidate for other neurological disorders that may be linked to the 1q21.3 chromosomal region.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Zinc deficiency in crops is the most widespread micronutrient deficiency, with about 50% of the cereal-growing areas worldwide containing low levels of plant-available Zn. Zinc plays multiple key roles in different metabolic and physiological processes; its deficiency in crops reduces not only grain yield, but also the nutritional quality of grains. Insufficient micronutrient intake, particularly Zn and Fe, afflicts over 3 billion people in the world, mainly in developing countries. Increasing the amount of Zn in food crops can contribute to improving the Zn status of people. Furthermore, Zn-dense seeds have agronomic benefits, resulting in greater seedling vigour, bigger root system and higher crop yield when sowed to soils with low plant-available Zn. Enhancing nutrient content and nutritional quality of crops for human nutrition is a global challenge currently, but it was mostly ignored during the breeding process in the past. There is a significant genotypic variation for seed Zn accumulation in several crops (including barley) which could be exploited in the breeding programs to produce genotypes with higher seed Zn concentration and content. However, the progress in Zn efficiency until now has mainly relied on conventional plant breeding approaches that have had limited success. Therefore, reliable alternative methods are required. Enhancing mineral nutrition through plant biotechnology may be a sustainable and beneficial approach in developing Zn-dense seeds in the staple crops. ... This DNA band was sequenced and converted into a simple sequence-specific PCR-based marker, which was designated as SZnR1 (seed Zn-regulator1). The developed marker is very easy to score, is inexpensive to run and amenable for a large number of plant samples. The successful development of SZnR1 molecular marker linked to chromosome region associated with seed Zn concentration and content using MFLP in this study illustrates the advantage of this technique over some other DNA fingerprinting methods used for identification of molecular markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS). In conclusion, the greater Zn efficiency of Sahara over Clipper under sufficient Zn supply may be attributed to its higher uptake of Zn. It appears that soil-based pot experiments under controlled condition may offer potential improvements over field experiments in screening for seed Zn accumulation. Shoot and seed Zn concentration and content can be used to diagnose the Zn statues of barley genotypes, and may be a useful selection criterion for Zn efficiency in large populations like doubled-haploid populations aimed at developing molecular markers for Zn efficiency. Identified QTLs influencing seed Zn concentration were repeatable in the field and glasshouse conditions, suggesting their robustness across environments as well as their value in marker-assisted selection. The developed PCR-based marker SZnR1 and other molecular markers associated with the QTLs on the short and long arms of chromosome 2H have the potential to be used for marker-assisted selection in breeding for Zn-dense seed in barley.

Abstract:

Mapping studies of the centromeric region of the human Y chromosome Construction of a map of a human centromeric region is very important in order to understand the organisation of this essential part of the chromosome. A YAC contig map has been assembled of the pericentric 10 Mb of the human Y chromosome, giving coverage of Yp from the large X-Y homologous region through to the alphoid satellite of the centromere, and from the alphoid DNA to the proximal unique sequences on Yq. The Yp map has one remaining gap between TSPY1 and the AMELY region, while two gaps separate the satellite region on Yq from the other two contigs. After constructing the map, the known genes were localised to the region. One Yq gene, DFFRY, was discounted as a potential anti-Turner syndrome gene by analysis of rearranged Y chromosomes. Detection of a block of duplicated sequence on Yp led to the confirmation of the existence of an inversion polymorphism, which was then found to be correlated with a major subclass of sex-reversed individuals, who have X-Y chromosomal breakpoints within the inverted region. These results not only give a far more extensive and detailed map of this region than before, but also show that understanding the organisation of the region has important consequences for a number of genetic disorders.

Abstract:

Exon amplification is a method used to identify regions of DNA that contain transcribed sequences. The large cloning capacity of yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) systems and the inability to isolate large intact DNA from YACs introduce limitations to the exon amplification technique. The feasibility of exon amplification from a mega-YAC clone 2001C6 (CEPH) has been analyzed as a means to isolate transcribed sequences and has been used to produce 10 putative exon sequences from human chromosome 17q21. Six of the sequences showed homology to sequences that were previously published in the GenBANK database. Three of the sequences showed no homology, thereby indicating the isolation of putatively novel sequences. The sequences were radiolabeled and used as hybridization probes on a multiple tissue RNA dot blot. This blot contains RNA isolated from 50 human tissues. Clone E5 produced hybridization signals in fetal liver, fetal spleen and placenta. Clone F12 produced hybridization signals in fetal liver, fetal spleen, placenta and bone marrow. Clone G12 produced hybridization signals in all of the RNAs, indicating a pattern of expression similar to that of a housekeeping gene. These findings contribute to the enhancement of a high density transcriptional map within the q21-q22 region of human chromosome 17.
