Histone Variants at the Centromere

5.3K
Histone variants are the histone proteins with structural and sequence variations. These variants may be regarded as “mutant” forms that replace their canonical histone counterparts in the nucleosomes. Specific post-translational modifications on the histone variants enable further chromatin complexity and regulate tissue-specific gene expression. The most common histone variants are from histone H2A, H2B, and linker histone H1 families. However, several variants of histone H3...

Exon Recombination02:32

Exon Recombination

4.3K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

7.4K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

12.3K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Area of Science:

  • * Hematology
  • * Genetics
  • * Immunology

Background:

  • * The Rh blood group system is crucial for blood transfusion compatibility.
  • * RHCE alleles encode for C/c and E/e antigens, contributing to RhD-positive or RhD-negative status.
  • * Genetic variations in RHCE can lead to complex phenotypes and potential transfusion reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To characterize a novel RHCE allele identified in a blood donor with a specific Rh phenotype.
  • * To contribute to the understanding of RHCE gene diversity within different populations.

Main Methods:

  • * Phenotypic analysis using standard blood typing antisera.
  • * Gel-based genotyping for RHCE allele identification.
  • * cDNA analysis for detailed molecular characterization of the identified alleles.

Main Results:

  • * Identification of a novel RHCE allele, designated RHCE*01.06.02 (RHCE*ce254G,733G).
  • * Characterization of the donor's RHCE alleles as RHCE*01.20.01 (RHCE*ce733G) and the novel RHCE*01.06.02.
  • * The donor exhibited an Rh phenotype of D+ C– E– c+ e+ with a negative antibody screen.

Conclusions:

  • * The discovery of RHCE*01.06.02 expands the known allelic repertoire of the RHCE gene.
  • * This finding highlights the importance of molecular genotyping for accurate blood group characterization.
  • * Understanding novel RHCE alleles is essential for improving transfusion safety and managing potential alloimmunization.
