[Nucleotide sequence and organization of tRNA-Gly (UCC), tRNA-Arg (UCU), and alpha-subunits of CF1ATPase in chloroplast DNA of Allium porrum].

The nucleotide sequence of 1029 bp BamHI-fragment of leek chloroplast DNA (Allium porrum, fam. Liliaceae) has been determined. The fragment contains the 3'-terminal part of the tRNA-Gly (UCC) gene, the tRNA-Arg (UCU) gene and the 3'-terminal domain of the CF1ATPase alpha-subunit gene. The gene arrangement and the nucleotide sequence of this fragment are similar to those of the tobacco chloroplast DNA but differ significantly from that of other monocots in which the region containing these genes underwent extensive recombination.

[Genomic fingerprinting of microorganisms: its use as a hybridization probe of phage M13 DNA].

Hypervariable nucleotide sequences detected by hybridization with the phage M13 DNA probe were found in the chromosomal DNAs of certain pathogenic microbial species. DNA fingerprinting, based on hybridization of M13-probe with hypervariable chromosomal DNA sequences, opens new approaches to epidemiological analysis, epidemiological prognosis, taxonomy, and other theoretical and applied fields of bacteriology.

[Genomic fingerprints of organisms from different taxonomic groups: the use of phage M13 DNA as a hybridization probe].

Hypervariable polymorphic patterns were detected using wild-type M13 DNA as a probe in genomic DNAs of very different organisms ranging from procaryotes and lower eucaryotes to upper plants and animals, including human beings. Due to somatic stability of highly polymorphic patterns and their discrete inheritance, individual-specific restriction pattern analysis ("DNA fingerprinting") with this test probe was found to be useful in applied human genetics, in particular, for identifying paternity and maternity, and mapping of human genomes. The data obtained also demonstrate some possibilities of the DNA fingerprinting technology in genetics and selection of agricultural plants and animals, such as variety analysis, classification and registration of individual inbred lines and strains, as well as identification of bacterial strains.

[Sequences containing the Alu elements from a human fibroblast cDNA clone library: nucleotide sequence and expression in various tissues].

Alu containing cDNA clones were isolated from a human fibroblast cDNA library. The nucleotide sequences of two clones were determined. In both cases Alu repeats appeared to be situated in the regions presumably corresponding to the 3'-end of mRNA. The comparison of the unique sequences of those clones did not show any homology between them. Both cDNA clones contained large open reading frames, extending into the Alu regions. DNA of one clone was used as a probe for Northern blot-hybridization analysis of poly(A)+ cytoplasmic RNA from some normal and tumor human tissues. All RNA samples contained Alu-homologous transcripts, mainly in 7-12S fractions and only in one (canonical) orientation. This orientation contained functional regions including promotor region for RNA-polymerase III.
