  • As an initial effort to elucidate RNA: protein binding in a way to regulate translation initiation and phosphorylation, a cDNA encoding a double-stranded RNA binding factor (RBFII)was isolated from Hela ZAPII cDNA library by affinity screening using [$\alpha$$^{-32}$P] UMP-labeled HIV Rev-responsive element(RRE) RNA. The nucleotide sequence of RBF (or TRBP) cDNA except the 5’end. At the 5’end, This common ORF was fused in-frame to N-terminal residues of Lac-Z through a unique 138 nt sequence encoding 46residues in the case of RBFII and a 63 nt sequence encoding 21 residuces in the case of RBFI. The context of ATG appearing first in the sequences suggests that both these cDNA inserts are incomplete at the 5’end.

  • A cDNA clone coding for ribosomal protein 46 (rp46) which is a component of 60S ribosomal large subunit has been identified from Drosophila melanogaster. A cDNA clone encoding S. cerevisiae rp46 was used as a probe to screen a Drosophila larvae cDNA library. The DNA sequence analysis revealed that the cDNA coding for Drosophils rp46 contains a complete reading frame of 153 nucleotides coding for 51 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 71-75% homology with those of other eukaryotic organisms. Northern blot analysis showed that about 1-kb rp46 transcripts are abundant throughout fly development. Whole mount embryonic mRNA in situ hybridization also showed no preferential distribution of the transcripts to any specific region. The chromosomal in situ hybridization revealed that the identified gene is localized at position 60C on the right arm of the second polytene chromosome with a possibility of single copy.

  • To investigate the electrophoretic karytype of Fusarium oxysporum, intact chromosomal DNA was separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PEGE). DNA extraction from nulcei, mycelia and protoplasts were compared with one another and with the quantity and the suitability for PFGE separation in agarose gel. As a result, the most useful extracting method for intact DNA was found to be that from protoplasts. By varying the electrophoretic conditions, 8 chromosomal DNA bounds were resolved. Using the Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as size standards, the size of Fusarium oxysporum chromosomes was estimated to range from approximately 0.6 Mb TO 6.7 Mb, and total genome size was 26.7 Mb. The suitability of electrophoretic karyotyping as a tool for strain characterization is discussed.
