Expressed sequence tags of fruits, peels, and carpels and analysis of mRNA expression levels of the tagged cDNAs of fruits from the Fuji apple.

In order to understand molecular events during fruit development and provide genetic resources for molecular breeding, 430 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were generated from randomly selected clones of cDNA libraries prepared from young fruits, peels of mature fruits, and carpels of the Fuji apple (Malus domestica Borkh.). Database comparisons of the ESTs revealed that 180 non-redundant clones showed a high similarity with previously identified genes. Among these, 138 clones exhibited a homology with previously identified plant genes and 12 were identical to genes that were previously identified from apples. The deduced amino acid sequences of 42 clones had a homology to proteins that have not been reported from plants. Eighteen cDNA clones from the young fruit library were selected for studying expression levels and patterns in reproductive organs and leaves. This study revealed that the clones can be classified into 3 different groups based on their expression levels. The first 9 clones were expressed strongly in at least one reproductive organ. Eight of these clones (vacuolar processing protease, sucrose phosphate synthase, arabinogalactan protein, UDP-glucose glucosyl transferase, major allergen D1, cystein proteinase inhibitor, lipoxygenase, and protease subunit SUG2) were highly expressed in mature flowers and young fruits, whereas one clone (z-carotene desaturase protein precursor) was preferentially expressed in mature flowers but weakly in young fruits. The second group includes 6 cDNA clones (glucose transport protein, aminomethyl transferase precursor protein, dTDP-D-glucose-4,6-dehydrogenase, 2 types of protein kinase, and selenium binding protein) that were weakly expressed. These clones were characterized by their preferential expression patterns in mature flowers and young fruits. The transcripts of 3 cDNA clones in the third group (vacuolar aminopetidase, beta-galactosidase, and EREBP-4) were detectable only by RT-PCR and they were preferentially expressed in young fruits. These results indicate that most ESTs that were isolated from young fruits are preferentially expressed in reproductive organs and thereby play important roles during reproductive organ development.

cDNA excision in stable retroviral cDNA transfectants is prevented by R removal.

The present study provides evidence on the occurrence of DNA rearrangement between the redundant 5' and 3' R domains of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) Tat cDNA. This was correlated with a gradual loss of cDNA copy number concomitantly with a decrease in gene expression. Removal of the 5' RU5 abolished rearrangement and stabilized Tat expression in EIAV tat cDNA transfectants. Our data suggest that prior removal of the 5' R from cloned retroviral cDNAs can impede DNA rearrangement, thus preventing cDNA excision that frequently occurs and hinders permanent expression of retroviral cDNAs in stable transfectants.

Non-stoichiometric reduced complexity probes for cDNA arrays.

A method is presented in which the reduced complexity and non-stoichiometric amplification intrinsic to RNA arbitrarily primed PCR fingerprinting (RAP-PCR) is used to advantage to generate probes for differential screening of cDNA arrays. RAP-PCR fingerprints were converted to probes for human cDNA clones arrayed as Escherichia coli colonies on nylon membranes. Each array contained 18 432 cDNA clones from the IMAGE consortium. Hybridization to approximately 1000 cDNA clones was detected using each RAP-PCR probe. Different RAP-PCR fingerprints gave hybridization patterns having very little overlap (<3%) with each other or with hybridization patterns from total cDNA probes. Consequently, repeated application of RAP-PCR probes allows a greater fraction of the message population to be screened on this type of array than can be achieved with a radiolabeled total cDNA probe. This method was applied to RNA from HaCaT keratinocytes treated with epidermal growth factor. Two RAP-PCR probes detected hybridization to 2000 clones, from which 22 candidate differentially expressed genes were observed. Differential expression was tested for 15 of these clones using RT-PCR and 13 were confirmed. The use of this cDNA array to analyze RAP-PCR fingerprints allowed for an increase in detection of 10-20-fold over the conventional denaturing polyacrylamide gel approach to RAP-PCR or differential display. Throughput is vastly improved by the reduction in cloning and sequencing afforded by the use of arrays. Also, repeated cloning and sequencing of the same gene or of genes already known to be regulated in the system of interest is minimized. The procedure we describe uses inexpensive arrays of plasmid clones spotted as E.coli colonies to detect differential expression, but these reduced complexity probes should also prove useful on arrays of PCR-amplified fragments and on oligonucleotide chips.
