Restarting Stalled Replication Forks02:37

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.0K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Genome Copying Errors02:46

Genome Copying Errors

4.6K
DNA replication is a well-evolved process that copies millions of base pairs with high fidelity during each cell division. Occasionally a wrong base or a long stretch of wrong bases may get added to the daughter strands. If the errors are left unchecked, cells might accumulate several mutations that might endanger their  survival. Therefore, the copying errors are checked and repaired at three levels.

Mismatch Repair01:20

Mismatch Repair

5.5K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The Mutator Protein Family Plays a Key Role in DNA Mismatch Repair
The human genome has more than 3 billion base pairs of DNA per cell. Prior to cell division, that vast amount of genetic...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.3K
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...

Translesion DNA Polymerases02:10

Translesion DNA Polymerases

10.3K
Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...

Summary

Positional cloning in wheat revealed that a 1000-grain weight quantitative trait loci (QTL) was linked to chromosome 5AS structural variation, not 5AL genes. This highlights challenges in cloning structural variations in polyploid genomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plant Genetics
  • Genomics
  • Wheat Breeding

Background:

  • Positional cloning identifies genes controlling agronomic traits.
  • Understanding genetic control of 1000-grain weight (TGW) is crucial for crop improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To positionally clone the genetic variant controlling a TGW quantitative trait loci (QTL) on wheat chromosome arm 5AL.
  • To investigate the role of structural variation in wheat agronomic traits.

Main Methods:

  • Developed >5,000 heterogenous inbred families (HIFs) for fine-mapping.
  • Analyzed genomic, transcriptomic, and phenotypic data.
  • Evaluated linkage disequilibrium (LD) and structural variation.

Main Results:

  • Fine-mapped the TGW QTL to a 10-Mbp region on chromosome arm 5AL.
  • Discovered the 5AL QTL was strongly associated (r² = 0.91) with chromosome arm 5AS presence-absence structural variation.
  • Observed no differential gene expression within the 5AL candidate region, indicating LD masking.

Conclusions:

  • Structural variation on chromosome arm 5AS, not genes on 5AL, explains the TGW QTL.
  • Polyploid genomes mask structural variation, posing challenges for positional cloning.
  • Recommends haplotype-based approaches for detecting structural variation and identifies nine candidate genes for grain yield components.
