Mitotic karyotyping and FISH mapping of the gender-specific locus indicate an advanced XY system in Hippophae rhamnoides.

Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. turkestanica, a subdioecious plant inhabiting the cold desert of the Indian Himalaya, has gained immense recognition for its nutritional and medicinal values. In recent years, the plant species has proven to be a suitable system to understand the evolution of dioecy. Despite its biological significance, the cytogenetics of this dioecious plant is unclear due to various conflicting accounts of its X-Y chromosome system, particularly the length of Y-chromosome. In this study, we resolved these ambiguities through comprehensive cytogenetic analyses across diverse western Himalayan populations. Using morphometric analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a gender-specific marker (HRMSSR), we confirmed homomorphic XX chromosomes in females and heteromorphic sex-chromosomes in males with a notably smaller Y-chromosome. The investigation also revealed a predominant somatic chromosome number of 2n = 24, although minor deviations (2n = 18, 20, 22) appeared at the seed level. These findings highlight an evolutionarily advanced sex-chromosome system. This first detailed cytogenetic investigation of Himalayan Seabuckthorn provides critical insights into the chromosomal architecture, laying a crucial foundation for future evolutionary, genomic, and conservation studies in the species.

Identification of a compound origin of replication at the HMR-E locus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Eukaryotic chromosomal origins of replication are best defined in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Previous analysis of yeast origins suggests that they are relatively simple structures comprised of three or four small DNA sequence elements contained within approximately 100-200-base pair regions (Gilbert, D. M. (1998) Curr. Opin. Genet. Dev. 8, 194-199). In contrast, the sequence elements that may comprise origins in multicellular eukaryotes are largely unknown. The yeast HMR-E region is both a chromosomal origin of replication and a silencer that represses transcription of adjacent genes through a position effect. The analysis presented here indicated that HMR-E had a novel DNA structure that was more complex than defined for other yeast origins, and thus revealed that there is variation in the structural complexity of yeast origins. In contrast to "simple" yeast origins, the origin at HMR-E consisted of at least three independent subregions that had the capacity to initiate replication. We have termed HMR-E a compound origin to reflect its structural complexity. Furthermore, only one origin within the compound origin was a silencer.

Evidence against the current hypothesis of "gene dosage effects" of trisomy 21: ets-2, encoded on chromosome 21" is not overexpressed in hearts of patients with Down Syndrome.

BACKGROUND: The major current concept for the pathogenesis of the Down Syndrome (DS) phenotype including congenital heart disease (CHD) is the so-called "gene dosage effect." According to this hypothesis, genes encoded by chromosome 21 at the "critical region" (which is thought to be crucial for the development of the DS phenotype) are overexpressed in the trisomic state, thus leading to an imbalance of genes as, e.g., the protooncogene ets-2, superoxide dismutase, etc. METHODS: We studied heart biopsies obtained at surgery from 6 patients with DS and 7 patients with congenital heart disease. ets-2-mRNA steady state levels were determined by a competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique which allowed the determination of this gene at the attomol level. RESULTS: ets-2 mRNA in total ventricular tissue of DS patients showed concentrations of 0.60 +/- 0.42 fg/10 ng total RNA (mean, +/- SD). When normalized versus the housekeeping gene beta-actin to rule out general transcriptional changes in that disorder, the ratio of 0.56 +/- 0.28 (mean, +/- SD) was calculated. ets-2 mRNA in total ventricular tissue of patients with non-DS CHD showed concentrations of 0.45 +/- 0.22 fg/10 ng total RNA (mean, +/-SD) and ratios of 0.48 +/- 0.35 (mean, +/-SD). No differences could be found at the p<0.05 level. CONCLUSION: No absolute quantification of a gene incriminated in the "gene dosage effect-hypothesis" was performed so far and the only approach to (semi-) quantitative determination of the ets-2 gene using northern blotting was published on one individual DS sample only. This is the first report to clearly show that no overexpression of ets-2 can be found in heart of patients with DS, thus providing evidence against the current gene dosage effect-hypothesis.
