Abstract To assist investigation of the effect of sequence heterology on recombination in Neurospora crassa, we inserted the Herpes simplex thymidine kinase gene (TK) as an unselected marker on linkage group I, giving a gene order of Cen–his-3–TK–cog–lpl. We show here that in crosses heterozygous for TK, conversion of a his-3 allele on one homolog is accompanied by transfer of the heterologous sequence between cog and his-3 from the other homolog, indicating that recombination is initiated centromere-distal of TK. We have identified a 10-nucleotide motif in the cog region that, although unlikely to be sufficient for hotspot activity, is required for high-frequency recombination and, because conversion of silent sequence markers declines on either side, may be the recombination initiation site. Additionally, we have mapped conversion tracts in His+ progeny of a translocation heterozygote, in which the translocation breakpoint separates cog from the 5′ end of his-3. We present molecular evidence of recombination on both sides of the breakpoint. Because recombination is initiated close to cog and the event must therefore cross the translocation breakpoint, we suggest that template switching occurs in some recombination events, with repair synthesis alternating between use of the homolog and the initiating chromatid as template.

ABSTRACT In translocation OY321 of Neurospora crassa, the nucleolus organizer is divided into two segments, a proximal portion located interstitially in one interchange chromosome, and a distal portion now located terminally on another chromosome, linkage group I. In crosses of Translocation x Translocation, exceptional progeny are recovered nonselectively in which the chromosome sequence has apparently reverted to Normal. Genetic, cytological, and molecular evidence indicates that reversion is the result of meiotic crossing over between homologous displaced rDNA repeats. Marker linkages are wild type in these exceptional progeny. They differ from wild type, however, in retaining an interstitial block of rRNA genes which can be demonstrated cytologically by the presence of a second, small interstitial nucleolus and genetically by linkage of an rDNA restriction site polymorphism to the mating-type locus in linkage group I. The interstitial rDNA is more highly methylated than the terminal rDNA. The mechanism by which methylation enzymes distinguish between interstitial rDNA and terminal rDNA is unknown. Some hypotheses are considered.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of the present research are (i) to establish the karyotype of Neursopora crassa using visualization of kinetochores in the synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads, (ii) to assign each chromosome to a linkage group, and (iii) to examine chromosome pairing and recombination nodules in quadrivalents. Two strains containing reciprocal translocations were used: T(I;II)4637, which involves linkage groups I and II, and alcoy, which contains 3 independent translocations involving I and II, IV and V, and III and VI. Visualization of kinetochores in the spreads requires the use of freshly prepared fixatives. Kinetochore locations and arm ratios were documented in all 7 N. crassa chromosomes. This new information, based on kinetochore position, arm ratios, chromosome length, and quadrivalent analyses, enabled unequivocal confirmation of chromosome assignments to genetic linkage groups. Chromosome pairing in a translocation quadrivalent starts at the 4 terminal regions, and proceeds right up to the translocation break point. Recombination nodules are found in all 4 arms of quadrivalents. The ability to identify a specific chromosome to a genetic linkage group together with the ability to visualize recombination nodules and their locations will allow future cytological analysis of recombination events.Key words: Neurospora, synaptonemal complex, translocation, karyotype, kinetochore, linkage groups, recombination nodules.

Full textAbstract:
Translocation chromosomes 1R.1D5+10−1 and 1R.1D5+10−2 were produced to improve bread-making quality in triticale and to manipulate the dosage of the Glu-D1 gene in wheat. They involve transfers of segments of the long arm of chromosome 1D of bread wheat to the long arm of rye chromosome 1R. The translocated long arms of the chromosomes were mapped genetically in wheat and triticale using polymorphism for C-banding patterns, allelic variation of the Glu-D1 gene, and a telocentric chromosome 1RL. The total frequency and the general distribution of recombination in the translocated arms was similar to that in normal long arms of group-1 chromosomes in wheat, rye, and triticale, except that the distal rye segments of the translocations showed a 15- to 20-fold increase in recombination frequency compared with normal 1R. Despite major differences in the physical structure of the translocated arms, both appeared very similar genetically, suggesting that genetic mapping is a poor indicator of the physical structure of translocations. Genetic length of the 1DL segment in chromosome 1R.1D5+10−1 was 31 cM, making the chromosome unsuitable for Glu-D1 dosage manipulation in wheat. The potential of chromosome 1R.1D5+10−2 for wheat breeding needs further testing. However, both chromosomes behave normally in hexaploid triticale.Key words: translocation, linkage, bread-making quality, wheat, triticale.

Full textAbstract:
In the existing genetic sexing strains for the medfly, Ceratitis capitata, male recombination leads to breakdown of the sexing mechanism under mass rearing conditions. The rate of breakdown depends on the recombination frequency and on the fitness of the recombinants. We have tested two different sexing genes, white pupa and a temperature sensitive lethal, in combination with the translocation T(Y;5)30C. Both sexing strains broke down, although at very different rates. In the case of the white pupa strain, 3.5% recombinants were observed after rearing the strain for 15 generations. The second strain, utilizing white pupa and the temperature sensitive lethal as selectable markers, already reached a comparable level after six generations and was broken down completely in the ninth generation. In these strains the frequency of recombination is high because the breakpoint of T(Y;5)30C and the sexing gene(s) are far apart. To remedy the situation, we have isolated four new translocations with breakpoints located closer to the sexing genes. Mass rearing was simulated for several generations with strains based on these translocations and no breakdown was observed under the conditions used.Key words: medfly, sterile insect technique, genetic sexing, recombination.

Full textAbstract:
Chromosomal rearrangements, including reciprocal translocations, may prevent recombinational transfer of genes from a donor genotype to a recipient, especially when the gene is located in an interstitial segment. The effect of trisomy of chromosome arm 1RS on recombination was studied in translocation heterozygote T248W of rye ( Secale cereale ), involving chromosome arms 1RS and 6RS. (Pro)metaphase I configuration frequencies were analyzed. Crossing over, estimated as chiasma parameters, in five genetically different euploid heterozygotes was compared with those of 10 different single arm trisomics. The addition of 1RS greatly altered the crossing over pattern around the translocation break point, with a special increase in the interstitial segment of 6RS and adjoining regions, normally hardly accessible to recombination. Furthermore, there was considerable variation between plants of closely related genotypes. Heterogeneity widens the distribution of crossing overs, including segments normally not accessible to recombination, but decreases average recombination in other segments. The extra chromosome and abnormal segregants are eliminated by using the trisomic as the pollen parent.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract To obtain a broad perspective of the events leading to spontaneous loss of heterozygosity (LOH), we have characterized the genetic alterations that functionally inactivated the URA3 marker hemizygously or heterozygously situated either on chromosome III or chromosome V in diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Analysis of chromosome structure in a large number of LOH clones by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and PCR showed that chromosome loss, allelic recombination, and chromosome aberration were the major classes of genetic alterations leading to LOH. The frequencies of chromosome loss and chromosome aberration were significantly affected when the marker was located in different chromosomes, suggesting that chromosome-specific elements may affect the processes that led to these alterations. Aberrant-sized chromosomes were detected readily in ∼8% of LOH events when the URA3 marker was placed in chromosome III. Molecular mechanisms underlying the chromosome aberrations were further investigated by studying the fate of two other genetic markers on chromosome III. Chromosome aberration caused by intrachromosomal rearrangements was predominantly due to a deletion between the MAT and HMR loci that occurred at a frequency of 3.1 × 10-6. Another type of chromosome aberration, which occurred at a frequency slightly higher than that of the intrachromosomal deletion, appeared to be caused by interchromosomal rearrangement, including unequal crossing over between homologous chromatids and translocation with another chromosome.

A detailed cytogenetical study of inbred lines of pea and their F1 hybrids has been undertaken to study the relationship between the cytogenetic map and the molecular linkage map. The mitotic karyotypes of a standard pea line, JI15, a translocation line, JI61, and line JI281, a line used in the production of a mapping population, are given. A chromosome rearrangement detected by cytogenetic analysis of mitotic chromosomes has been further defined by synaptonemal complex (SC) analysis and the study of metaphase I chromosome behaviour. This meiotic analysis has allowed a comparison of SC physical lengths, observed chiasma frequencies, and recombination frequencies, as estimated from the genetic map, as a means of comparing physical and genetic distances.Key words: Pisum, linkage map, cytogenetics, chromosome rearrangement, synaptonemal complex.

Full textAbstract:
Allotetraploid cotton species (Gossypium) belong to a 1-2 million year old lineage that reunited diploid genomes that diverged from each other 5-10 million years ago. To characterize genome evolution in the diploids and allotetraploids, comparative RFLP mapping was used to construct genetic maps for the allotetraploids (AD genome; n = 26) and diploids (A and D genomes; n = 13). Comparisons among the 13 suites of homoeologous linkage groups permitted comparisons of synteny and gene order. Two reciprocal translocations were confirmed involving four allotetraploid At genome chromosomes, as was a translocation between the two extant A genome diploids. Nineteen locus order differences were detected among the two diploid and two allotetraploid genomes. Conservation of colinear linkage groups among the four genomes indicates that allopolyploidy in Gossypium was not accompanied by extensive chromosomal rearrangement. Many inversions include duplicated loci, suggesting that the processes that gave rise to inversions are not fully conservative. Allotetraploid At and Dt genomes and the A and D diploid genomes are recombinationally equivalent despite a nearly two-fold difference in physical size. Polyploidization in Gossypium is associated with enhanced recombination, as genetic lengths for allotetraploid genomes are over 50% greater than those of their diploid counterparts.Key words: restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), Gossypium, evolution, polyploidy.

Full textAbstract:
The genus Gossypium, which comprises a divergent group of diploid species and several recently formed allotetraploids, offers an excellent opportunity to study polyploid genome evolution. In this study, chromosome structural variation among the A, At, and D genomes of Gossypium was evaluated by comparative genetic linkage mapping. We constructed a fully resolved RFLP linkage map for the diploid A genome consisting of 275 loci using an F2 interspecific Gossypium arboreum × Gossypium herbaceum family. The 13 chromosomes of the A genome are represented by 12 large linkage groups in our map, reflecting an expected interchromosomal translocation between G. arboreum and G. herbaceum. The A-genome chromosomes are largely collinear with the D genomes, save for a few small inversions. Although the 2 diploid mapping parents represent the closest living relatives of the allotetraploid At-genome progenitor, 2 translocations and 7 inversions were observed between the A and At genomes. The recombination rates are similar between the 2 diploid genomes; however, the At genome shows a 93% increase in recombination relative to its diploid progenitors. Elevated recombination in the Dt genome was reported previously. These data on the At genome thus indicate that elevated recombination was a general property of allotetraploidy in cotton.Key words: comparative mapping, polyploidy, genome evolution, inversions, translocations, RFLP.

Full textAbstract:
Successful bacterial circular chromosome segregation requires that any dimeric chromosomes, which arise by crossing over during homologous recombination, are converted to monomers. Resolution of dimers to monomers requires the action of the XerCD site-specific recombinase at dif in the chromosome replication terminus region. This reaction requires the DNA translocase, FtsK(C), which activates dimer resolution by catalysing an ATP hydrolysis-dependent switch in the catalytic state of the nucleoprotein recombination complex. We show that a 62-amino-acid fragment of FtsK(C) interacts directly with the XerD C-terminus in order to stimulate the cleavage by XerD of BSN, a dif-DNA suicide substrate containing a nick in the 'bottom' strand. The resulting recombinase-DNA covalent complex can undergo strand exchange with intact duplex dif in the absence of ATP. FtsK(C)-mediated stimulation of BSN cleavage by XerD requires synaptic complex formation. Mutational impairment of the XerD-FtsK(C) interaction leads to reduction in the in vitro stimulation of BSN cleavage by XerD and a concomitant deficiency in the resolution of chromosomal dimers at dif in vivo, although other XerD functions are not affected.

Full textAbstract:
Meiotic recombination is a fundamental biological process in sexually reproducing organisms, enabling offspring to inherit novel combinations of mutations, and ensuring even segregation of chromosomes into gametes. Recombination is initiated by programmed Double Strand Breaks (DSBs), the genomic locations of which are determined in most mammals by PRDM9, a rapidly evolving DNA-binding protein. In crosses between different mouse subspecies, certain Prdm9 alleles cause infertility in hybrid males, implying a critical role in fertility and speciation. Upon binding to DNA, PRDM9 deposits a histone modification (H3K4me3) typically found in the promoters of expressed genes, suggesting that binding might alter the expression of nearby genes. Many other questions have remained about how PRDM9 initiates recombination, how it causes speciation, and why it evolves so rapidly. This body of work investigates these questions using complementary experimental and analytical methodologies. By generating a map of human PRDM9 binding sites and applying novel sequence analysis methods, I uncovered new DNA-binding modalities of PRDM9 and identified sequence-independent factors that predict binding and recombination outcomes. I also confirmed that PRDM9 can affect gene expression by binding to promoters, identifying candidate regulatory targets in meiosis. Furthermore, I showed that PRDM9âÃôs DNA-binding domain also mediates strong protein-protein interactions that produce PRDM9 multimers, which may play an important functional role. Finally, by generating high-resolution maps of PRDM9 binding in hybrid mice, I provide evidence for a mechanism to explain PRDM9-mediated speciation as a consequence of the joint evolution of PRDM9 and its binding targets. This work reveals that PRDM9 binding on one chromosome strongly impacts DSB formation and/or repair on the homologue, suggesting a novel role for PRDM9 in promoting efficient homology search and DSB repair, both critical for meiotic progression and fertility. One consequence is that PRDM9 may play a wider role in mammalian speciation.

Translocation of a 17.1 kilobase region of the OCT plasmid encoding mercury resistance (mer) in Pseudomonas putida was shown to occur in a recombination-deficient host with plasmid PP1 serving as a recipient replicon. The frequency of transposition in Pseudomonas was estimated at 10^3 -10 -^2, but undetectable in Escherichia soli. ' DNA comprising all of mr as well as subregions there of were cloned and subjected to DNA sequence analysis. Like other transposons, mer was found to contain inverted repeat sequences at its termini. These were similar to, but not identical to the inverted repeat structures found in the prototypical mercury resistance transposon Tn501 from E. aeruginosa.

Thesis (MSc (Genetics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.Gene transfer from wild gras species to wheat is complicated by the simultaneous integration of large amounts of alien chromatin. The alien chromatin containing the target gene is inherited as a linkage block and the phenomenon is known as linkage drag. The degree of linkage drag depends on whether, and how readily, recombination occurs between the foreign and wheat chromatin. The S13 translocation line was developed by the department of Genetics, US. A cross was made between Chinese Spring and a leaf rust resistant Aegilops speltoides accession. Resistant backcross F1 was backcrossed to Chinese Spring and W84-17. S13 was selected from the backcross progeny and found to carry three rust resistance genes temporarily named LrS13, SrS13 and YrS13. Unfortunately, the resistance genes were completely linked to gametocidal (Gc) genes that were co-transferred from the wild parent. In wheat Gc genes cause reduced fertility, poor plant phenotype and hybrid necrosis. In order to use employ the rust resistance genes commercially they need to be separated from the Gc genes. At the onset of this study four putative shortened forms of the S13 translocation were provided. The four lines were identified in a homoeologous paring induction experiment (involving the test cross 04M127). This study aimed to achieve the following: (i) characterize the four recombinants with the use of molecular markers, (ii) use the knowledge gained to identify further recombinants in the 04M127 cross, (iii) identify the shortest (most useful) recombinant, and (iv) attempt to shorten the shortest recombinant form still further and thereby remove as many of the Gc genes as possible. In total, seven recombinants of the S13 translocation (04M127-1, -2, -3, -4, -7, -11 and -12; referred to as recombinant group A) were identified and characterised with microsatellite and SCAR markers. These recombinants have exchanged different amounts of foreign chromatin for wheat chromatin, but were still associated with Gc genes, showing hybrid necrosis and seed shrivelling. Some of the recombinants have lost the undesirable „brittle rachis‟ phenotype which occurs in Ae. speltoides and the S13 translocation line. In plants VII having this trait, the rachis spontaneously disarticulates after the third spikelet upon ripening of the ear. Recombinant 3 appeared to be least affected by Gc genes and was therefore used in further attempts to shorten the translocation. Recombinant 3 was crossed with wheat (W84-17) and resistant F1 (heterozygous for the translocation) were test crossed with Chinese Spring nullisomic 3A tetrasomic 3B/D plants. Thirty five resistant testcross F1 plants were identified (named recombinant group B). The resistant group B recombinants as well as nine susceptible test cross F1 (which also appeared to be recombinant) were characterised making use of microsatellites and a SCAR marker. From the results it appeared that each of the 35 resistant plants exchanged substantial amounts of Ae. speltoides chromatin for wheat chromatin. The species chromatin that remained (and which contains LrS13) is probably located either close to the 3AS telomere or within the proximal regions of 3AS and 3AL. A SCAR marker that has been developed specifically for the S13 translocation provided useful confirmation of the presence of Ae. speltoides chromatin in the 35 recombinants. If the SCAR marker proves to be tightly linked to LrS13 it may eventually be used for marker assisted selection of the resistance or it may be employed in continued attempts to reduce the amount of foreign chromatin. Seedling rust resistance tests showed that the recombinants have lost SrS13 and YrS1 during recombination. An attempt was also made to develop additional markers that specifically detect the translocation in order to further characterise the group B recombinants. Published information on Ae. speltoides specific repeated and transposon sequences were obtained and used for primer design. Unfortunately, no suitable markers could be found and the primers that were designed tended to amplify the same fragments in both the wheat and species genomes. DArT markers were also employed in an attempt to characterise the 35 group B recombinants and controls. The DArT results provided an independent verification of the results obtained with the microsatellite markers. The DArT results confirmed that the group B recombinants exchanged large amounts of species chromatin for wheat chromatin. Even though the 35 resistant group B recombinants have undergone extensive recombination they still show signs of residual Gc effects. It is believed these effects can be removed by continued backcrossing to wheat accompanied by selection against Gc symptoms. While the effects of Gc genes per se were not studied, their properties were reminiscent of those of transposable elements. Indications were that complex interactions involving the Gc genes themselves as well as genetic factors in the wheat genome may have a drastic effect on the selective survival of recombinant gametes.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 6, “Recombination and linkage disequilibrium in evolutionary signatures,” explores the role of partial genetic linkage within and between genes in influencing patterns of nucleotide polymorphism and evolutionary change. It introduces the concept of linkage disequilibrium as the non-random association of alleles at different loci, the potential causes of linkage disequilibrium, and different methods to quantify and visualize it. The empirical effects of partial recombination on patterns of linkage disequilibrium in genomes are illustrated with theoretical predictions and natural examples. The phenomena of non-crossover recombination and gene conversion are presented, as is the application of linkage disequilibrium to inferring population demography and the genetic mapping of traits. This chapter lays the foundation for understanding how complete linkage, partial linkage, and no linkage integrate with the other forces in evolutionary theory and with the empirical analysis of molecular population genetic data.

Full textAbstract:
Gene targeting has provided considerable insight into the functions of numerous genes since it was developed a decade ago (1-4). A listing of the diversity of targeted genes and breadth of mutant phenotypes characterized to date can be obtained through mouse mutation databases (http://www.bis.med. jhmi.edu/Dan/tbase.html and http://biomednet.com/cgi-bin/ mko/mkohome.pl) (5, 6). However, in order to take full advantage of this technology, classical genetic methods should be utilized to extend our knowledge of individual genes to genetic pathways. In this chapter, the significance of genetics in gene targeting and phenotype interpretation are discussed. We describe how Mendelian and quantitative genetics can be exploited to map modifier loci or generate animals carrying mutations in two or more genes. We also discuss the development and application of classical genetic approaches towards elucidating gene function such as generation of allelic series and creation of deletion complexes throughout the genome in ES cells and mice. Several genetic considerations should be taken into account during the initial stages of a gene targeting experiment. In order to maximize homologous recombination efficiency, both arms of a targeting vector should be isolated from the same strain of mice as that of the ES cells (see Chapter 1 for details). Although most ES cell lines have been isolated from 129 strains of mice, significant genetic variation exists among the different substrains, which is sometimes evident by pronounced differences in coat colour (see Chapter 4, Table 1) (7, 8). For instance, 129/Sv mice (Aw/Aw, +c-Tyr +p/+c-Tyr +p ) have a white-bellied agouti (Aw) phenotype, whereas 129/SvJ mice (Aw/Aw, Tyrc p/T yrc-ch p) have a cream colour owing to the effect of mutant tyrosinase (Tyr) and pink-eyed dilution (p) alleles which are epistatic to Aw (9). Molecular analysis of different 129 substrains using microsatellite markers has provided insight into their genetic differences and revealed that 129/SvJ is particularly divergent and actually contaminated with genomic regions of non-129 origin (7, 8). Before the significance of this heterogeneity was appreciated, many targeting vectors were constructed from 129/SvJ DNA for use in 129/Sv ES cell lines.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers two of the most important legacies of the Lederbergs’ pioneering work: the discoveries of the model organisms that would dominate molecular biology, E. coli and λ bacteriophage. The Lederbergs’ introduction of E. coli as a convenient model organism shifted the direction of molecular genetics. Barbara McClintock’s discovery of jumping genes remained unappreciated for decades, until the field of molecular biology caught up to validate her transposable elements in bacteria. The discovery of restriction enzymes—the molecular scissors for precisely cutting DNA at specific sites, a prerequisite for genetic recombination techniques—emphasized the versatility of bacteriophage λ as a powerful experimental tool. The discovery of specialized transduction by Larry Morse and Esther Lederberg hinted at the mechanisms of “host restriction.” Werner Arber and Daisy Dussoix discovered restriction endonucleases by building upon Esther Lederberg’s research with λ phage and the differences between E. coli B and K-12.
