The complete genome sequence and comparative genome analysis of the high pathogenicity Yersinia enterocolitica strain 8081.

The human enteropathogen, Yersinia enterocolitica, is a significant link in the range of Yersinia pathologies extending from mild gastroenteritis to bubonic plague. Comparison at the genomic level is a key step in our understanding of the genetic basis for this pathogenicity spectrum. Here we report the genome of Y. enterocolitica strain 8081 (serotype 0:8; biotype 1B) and extensive microarray data relating to the genetic diversity of the Y. enterocolitica species. Our analysis reveals that the genome of Y. enterocolitica strain 8081 is a patchwork of horizontally acquired genetic loci, including a plasticity zone of 199 kb containing an extraordinarily high density of virulence genes. Microarray analysis has provided insights into species-specific Y. enterocolitica gene functions and the intraspecies differences between the high, low, and nonpathogenic Y. enterocolitica biotypes. Through comparative genome sequence analysis we provide new information on the evolution of the Yersinia. We identify numerous loci that represent ancestral clusters of genes potentially important in enteric survival and pathogenesis, which have been lost or are in the process of being lost, in the other sequenced Yersinia lineages. Our analysis also highlights large metabolic operons in Y. enterocolitica that are absent in the related enteropathogen, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, indicating major differences in niche and nutrients used within the mammalian gut. These include clusters directing, the production of hydrogenases, tetrathionate respiration, cobalamin synthesis, and propanediol utilisation. Along with ancestral gene clusters, the genome of Y. enterocolitica has revealed species-specific and enteropathogen-specific loci. This has provided important insights into the pathology of this bacterium and, more broadly, into the evolution of the genus. Moreover, wider investigations looking at the patterns of gene loss and gain in the Yersinia have highlighted common themes in the genome evolution of other human enteropathogens.

Complete genomic sequence of 195 Kb of human DNA containing the gene GABRG2.

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), as the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, plays an essential role for the overall balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition by acting on GABAA receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Impaired GABAergic function contributes to certain forms of epilepsy, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's Disease, and other neurological disorders. In order to identify possible genetic features and to further study biological regulation of GABAA receptor genes whose promoter elements and sequence anomalies may contribute to epileptic disorders, as an initial step, we shot-gun sequenced a BAC clone, dj082c10 (195,909-bp in size), encompassing human gamma(2) subunit of GABAA receptor (GABRG2). It is, we believe, the first genomic sequence of the GABA receptor gamma subunit family. Four contigs were assembled from 2950 reads prior to gap in an average redundancy of eight folds over the entire region. The precision of the consensus sequence was predicted to be 99.999% after closing gaps and finishing weak regions. The nine exons of GABRG2 spans an 85-kb region that had 81 SINEs comprising 22.32%, and nine L1 elements comprising 3.40%, respectively. However, the density of L1 in the regions flanking GABRG2 gene (29.45% by 45 elements) is significantly higher than that within the gene. The length of GABRG2 introns varies in the range of 1.5 kb to 38.1 kb.

[Structural and functional analyses of MRS (major repeated sequnece) in Candida albicans. Application for genotyping and the eternal way to the complete genome sequence].

There are several different types of repeated sequences in the genome of Candida albicans, including the MRS (Major repeated sequence). In 2004, the whole genome sequence of C. albicans was published. Assembly of the sequences to chromosomal length contigs was not achieved, mainly due to interruption of the sequences by MRS. However, MRS including Ca3, 27A and RPS have been playing important roles in a number of epidemiological studies and basic biological investigations into C. albicans chromosome loss events and associated phenotypic changes. Here we summarize structural analyses from subrepeat sequences to the chromosome level, and functional analyses of MRS.

Complete genome sequence and genomic characterization of the probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri PSC102.

BACKGROUND: Gut microbiota are potential sources of probiotics and play an essential role in maintaining intestinal health. Limosilactobacillus reuteri PSC102 (L. reuteri PSC102), which was isolated from the feces of healthy pigs, exhibited health-beneficial properties. AIM: We aimed to conduct a whole-genome sequencing analysis of L. reuteri PSC102 to determine its molecular characteristics as a probiotic strain. METHODS: Limosilactobacillus reuteri PSC102 cells were cultured in De Man-Rogosa-Sharpe medium, followed by DNA extraction for genomic analysis using the PacBio-Illumina sequencing platform. The EzBioCloud software was used to perform gene assembly, and the genes were interpreted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the Glimmer program. Core and pan-genomic analyses were performed to assess the extent of functional conservation in the genomic sequence. Moreover, the NCBI database and the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool software were used to identify antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors. RESULTS: Limosilactobacillus reuteri PSC102 consists of a single circular chromosome with 2,048,626 bp, a guanine- cytosine of 38.9%, 18 rRNA genes, and 69 tRNA genes. Among the 1,846 protein-coding sequences, genes associated with probiotic characteristics were identified, including genes involved in host-microbe interactions, stress tolerance, biogenesis, and defense mechanisms. Furthermore, the genome of L. reuteri PSC102 comprises 2,446 pan-genome and 1,222 core-genome orthologous gene clusters. A total of 74 unique genes were identified in L. reuteri PSC102 genome. These genes mostly encode proteins potentially involved in the transport and metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates. Moreover, antibacterial resistance genes and virulence factors were absent in L. reuteri PSC102. CONCLUSION: The results of the molecular insight into L. reuteri PSC102 corroborates its use as a probiotic in humans and other animals.

Exploiting the complete yeast genome sequence.

The completion of the genome sequence of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae marks the dawn of an exciting new era in eukaryotic biology that will bring with it a new understanding of yeast, other model organisms, and human beings. This body of sequence data benefits yeast researchers by obviating the need for piecemeal sequencing of genes, and allows researchers working with other organisms to tap into experimental advantages inherent in the yeast system and learn from functionally characterized yeast gene products which are their proteins of interest. In addition, the yeast post-genome sequence era is serving as a testing ground for powerful new technologies, and proven experimental approaches are being applied for the first time in a comprehensive fashion on a complete eukaryotic gene repertoire.

Complete nucleotide sequence, genome organization and phylogenic analysis of the canine calicivirus.

The complete genomic sequence of canine calicivirus (CaCV) isolated from feces of a dog with diarrhea was determined. The CaCV genome, a positive-sense single-stranded RNA, contained 8513 nucleotides excluding the poly(A) tail and was longer than that of any other calicivirus strain with a completely known sequence. There were three open reading frames (ORF1, nt 12-5801; ORF2, nt 5805-7880; and ORF3, nt 7877-8278). ORF1 encoded a polyprotein (calculated Mr of 214,802) which had the conserved motifs of non-structural proteins of other caliciviruses and picornaviruses. Regions containing characteristic motifs in the non-structural polyprotein of CaCV showed highest similarity with those of the species Feline calicivirus and Vesicular exanthema of swine virus in the genus Vesivirus. Phylogenic analysis indicated that CaCV formed a distinct branch within the genus. Our results strongly suggested that CaCV is a new species in the genus Vesivirus.

Molecular analysis of Fiji disease virus segments 2, 4 and 7 completes the genome sequence.

The complete nucleotide sequences of Fiji disease virus (FDV) genome segments S2, S4 and S7 were determined. This now completes the sequencing of all ten dsRNA genome segments of the Fijivirus type member, FDV, which comprises a total of 29339 nt. FDV S2, S4 and S7 comprised 3820, 3568 and 2194 nt, respectively. S2 and S4 each contained a single open reading frame (ORF), which encoded putative proteins of 137 and 133 kDa, respectively, while S7 contained two ORFs, which encoded putative proteins of 42 and 37 kDa. The putative amino acid sequences of FDV S2 and S4 showed most similarity to the gene products of Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) S2 and RBSDV S3, respectively. The putative amino acid sequences of FDV S7 ORF I and II showed most similarity to Maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) S6 ORF I and RBSDV S7 ORF II, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses showed that FDV was most closely related to the group 2 fijiviruses.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase gene superfamily: the 2000 update.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily represents a group of NAD(P)(+)-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a wide spectrum of endogenous and exogenous aldehydes. With the advent of megabase genome sequencing, the ALDH superfamily is expanding rapidly on many fronts. As expected, ALDH genes are found in virtually all genomes analyzed to date, indicating the importance of these enzymes in biological functions. Complete genome sequences of various species have revealed additional ALDH genes. As of July 2000, the ALDH superfamily consists of 331 distinct genes, of which eight are found in archaea, 165 in eubacteria, and 158 in eukaryota. The number of ALDH genes in some species with their genomes completely sequenced and annotated, Escherichia coli and Caenorhabditis elegans, ranges from 10 to 17. In the human genome, 17 functional genes and three pseudogenes have been identified to date. Divergent evolution, based on multiple alignment analysis of 86 eukaryotic ALDH amino-acid sequences, was the basis of the standardized ALDH gene nomenclature system (Pharmacogenetics 9: 421-434, 1999). Thus far, the eukaryotic ALDHs comprise 20 gene families. A complete list of all ALDH sequences known to date is presented here along with the evolution analysis of the eukaryotic ALDHs.
