AbstractAbstract
[en] The identification of A-T gene(s) using both positional and functional cloning techniques has been a major objective in A-T research over the past 10 years. Functional cloning, using complementation of the radiosensitivity phenotype, has met with some success, although technical problems remain to be overcome. Recent progress, however, in both genetic and physical mapping of the A-T locus on chromosome 11q22-23, described in this review, suggests that the positional cloning of candidate genes should be achieved in the very near future. The region of the chromosome containing the gene(s) has been identified, and is no more than 1.6 Mb in size. The detailed physical characterization of this region, as a preliminary to candidate gene isolation, is now underway. There are, however, still some unresolved issues, most notably the existence of four A-T complementation groups, with the resulting supposition that these equate to a number of different genes.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Nucleotide sequence analysis of a candidate gene for A-T group D (ATDC) demonstrated that it is related to a group of proteins that contain both zinc finger and leucine zipper motifs. The presence of a leucine zipper suggested that this protein might form homodimers, and this was confirmed by means of the two-hybrid system in yeast. The activity of some proteins that form homodimers can be effectively eliminated by overexpression of inactive forms of the protein that bind to the wild-type protein to create a dominant negative phenotype. An ATDC cDNA containing a 37 amino acid deletion in the zinc finger region (ATDCΔ) was therefore transfected into colorectal carcinoma human tumour cells (RKO) to determine whether its expession would produce a response to radiation similar to that seen in A-T cells. RKO cells have been shown to have normal radiosensitivity and cell cycle regulation and, therefore, seemed ideal for this study. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The 'Rhodopseudomonas palustris' genome workshop took place in Iowa City on April 6-8, 2001. The purpose of the meeting was to instruct members of the annotation working group in approaches to accomplishing the 'human' phase of the 'R. palustris' genome annotation. A partial draft of a paper describing the 'Rhodopseudomonas palustris' genome has been written and a full version of the paper should be ready for submission by the end of the summer 2002

AbstractAbstract
[en] Extra- and intracellular viruses in the biosphere outnumber their cellular hosts by at least one order of magnitude. How is this enormous domain of viruses organized? Sampling of the virosphere has been scarce and focused on viruses infecting humans, cultivated plants, and animals as well as those infecting well-studied bacteria. It has been relatively easy to cluster closely related viruses based on their genome sequences. However, it has been impossible to establish long-range evolutionary relationships as sequence homology diminishes. Recent advances in the evaluation of virus architecture by high-resolution structural analysis and elucidation of viral functions have allowed new opportunities for establishment of possible long-range phylogenic relationships--virus lineages. Here, we use a genomic approach to investigate a proposed virus lineage formed by bacteriophage PRD1, infecting gram-negative bacteria, and human adenovirus. The new member of this proposed lineage, bacteriophage Bam35, is morphologically indistinguishable from PRD1. It infects gram-positive hosts that evolutionarily separated from gram-negative bacteria more than one billion years ago. For example, it can be inferred from structural analysis of the coat protein sequence that the fold is very similar to that of PRD1. This and other observations made here support the idea that a common early ancestor for Bam35, PRD1, and adenoviruses existed

AbstractAbstract
[en] An immortalized cell line was established from a female ataxia telangiectasia (AT) patient by the transfection of primary skin fibroblasts with origin-defective SV40 DNA. The cell line was characterized by a hypodiploid chromosome constitution and radiation hypersensitivity. The established cell line was used as a recipient for microcell-mediated chromosome transfer. Among seven G418-resistant clones obtained by the fusion with microcells from mouse A9 cells carrying a pSV2neo-tagged normal human chromosome 11, three clones showed restoration of radiation resistance with concomitant gain of an extra intact chromosome 11, while the others contained no recognizable or deleted chromosome 11. The association of the presence of 11q14→qter region with the radioresistance suggests the presence of AT gene in this chromosomal region. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Forty three vegetable amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.) genotypes selected from different eco-geographic regions of Bangladesh were evaluated during 3 years (2012-2014) for genetic variability, heritability and genetic association among mineral elements and quality and agronomic traits in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five replications. The analysis showed that vegetable amaranth is a rich source of K, Ca, Mg, proteins and dietary fibre with average values among the 43 genotypes (1.014%, 2.476%, 2.984, 1.258% and 7.81%, respectively). Six genotypes (VA13, VA14, VA16, VA18, VA26, VA27) showed a biological yield >2000 g/m2 and high mineral, protein and dietary fibre contents; eleven genotypes had high amount of minerals, protein and dietary fibre with above average biological yield; nine genotypes had below average biological yield but were rich in minerals, protein and dietary fibre. Biological yield exhibited a strong positive correlation with leaf area, shoot weight, shoot/root weight and stem base diameter. Insignificant genotypic correlation was observed among mineral, quality and agronomic traits, except K vs. Mg, protein vs. dietary fibre and stem base diameter vs. Ca. Some of these genotypes can be used for improvement of vegetable amaranth regarding mineral, protein and dietary fibre content without compromising yield loss. (Author)
