Phenotypic characterization of an Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion line SALK_063500.

ABSTRACT: In this article we report the identification of a homozygous lethal T-DNA (transfer DNA) line within the coding region of the At1G05290 gene in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) line, SALK_063500. The T-DNA insertion is found within exon one of the AT1G05290 gene, however a homozygous T-DNA allele is unattainable. In the heterozygous T-DNA allele the expression levels of AT1G05290 were compared to wild type Arabidopsis (Col-0, Columbia). Further analyses revealed an aberrant silique phenotype found in the heterozygous SALK_063500 plants that is attributed to the reduced rate of pollen tube germination. These data are original and have not been published elsewhere.

Data for characterization of SALK_084889, a T-DNA insertion line of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>.

Project description:In this article we report the identification of T-DNA (transfer DNA) insertion sites within two different gene regions in the genome of an Arabidopsis mutant line, SALK_084889. The T-DNA positions are in the 3' UTR (untranslated region) of DREB2A (Dehydration-responsive element-binding protein 2A) (AT5G05410) and promoter of LOX1 (Lipoxygenase 1) (AT1G55020) as determined by DNA-PCR and sanger sequencing. The expression levels of DREB2A and LOX1 were also analyzed using quantitative realtime PCR (qPCR) in SALK_084889 and wild type Arabidopsis (Col, Columbia). Further, the comparison of drought and heat tolerance between Col and SALK_084889 were conducted by stress treatments. The present data indicate that in SALK_084889, the expression of DREB2A is not downregulated under normal growth conditions but can be affected only in roots under drought treatment, while LOX1 is significantly downregulated in both roots and shoots under all tested conditions. These data are original and have not been published elsewhere.

Localization data of the T-DNA insertion site in Arabidopsis line SALK_146824C.

Project description:The present work reports on the determination of localization of T-DNA insertion in Arabidopsis thaliana SALK_146824C line. The line is characterized as deficient in GDP-l-galactose phosphorylase 1 (VTC2) gene encodes a protein involved in ascorbate biosynthesis. Primer pairs allow to distinguishing SALK_146824C from wild type plants and to the exact localization of the insertion were designed used. Sanger sequencing confirmed the location of the T-DNA insertion in the sixth exon of the gene. RT-PCR data shows nearly undetectable levels of VTC2 mRNA expression level in SALK_146824C line as compared with wild type plants of Columbia-0 line. Localization of the primer pair upstream and downstream the T-DNA insertion did not affect the expression values.

Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of P23H line 1 rat model.

Project description:Rod-cone dystrophy, also known as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), is the most common inherited degenerative photoreceptor disease, for which no therapy is currently available. The P23H rat is one of the most commonly used autosomal dominant RP models. It has been created by incorporation of a mutated mouse rhodopsin (Rho) transgene in the wild-type (WT) Sprague Dawley rat. Detailed genetic characterization of this transgenic animal has however never been fully reported. Here we filled this knowledge gap on P23H Line 1 rat (P23H-1) and provide additional phenotypic information applying non-invasive and state-of-the-art in vivo techniques that are relevant for preclinical therapeutic evaluations. Transgene sequence was analyzed by Sanger sequencing. Using quantitative PCR, transgene copy number was calculated and its expression measured in retinal tissue. Full field electroretinography (ERG) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were performed at 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-months of age. Sanger sequencing revealed that P23H-1 rat carries the mutated mouse genomic Rho sequence from the promoter to the 3' UTR. Transgene copy numbers were estimated at 9 and 18 copies in the hemizygous and homozygous rats respectively. In 1-month-old hemizygous P23H-1 rats, transgene expression represented 43% of all Rho expressed alleles. ERG showed a progressive rod-cone dysfunction peaking at 6 months-of-age. SD-OCT confirmed a progressive thinning of the photoreceptor cell layer leading to the disappearance of the outer retina by 6 months with additional morphological changes in the inner retinal cell layers in hemizygous P23H-1 rats. These results provide precise genotypic information of the P23H-1 rat with additional phenotypic characterization that will serve basis for therapeutic interventions, especially for those aiming at gene editing.

Genomic characterization of recent human LINE-1 insertions: evidence supporting random insertion.

Project description:LINE-1 (L1) elements play an important creative role in genomic evolution by distributing both L1 and non-L1 DNA in a process called retrotransposition. A large percentage of the human genome consists of DNA that has been dispersed by the L1 transposition machinery. L1 elements are not randomly distributed in genomic DNA but are concentrated in regions with lower GC content. In an effort to understand the consequences of L1 insertions, we have begun an investigation of their genomic characteristics and the changes that occur to them over time. We compare human L1 insertions that were created either during recent human evolution or during the primate radiation. We report that L1 insertions are an important source for the creation of new microsatellites. We provide evidence that L1 first strand cDNA synthesis can occur from an internal priming event. We note that in contrast to older L1 insertions, recent L1s are distributed randomly in genomic DNA, and the shift in the L1 genomic distribution occurs relatively rapidly. Taken together, our data indicate that strong forces act on newly inserted L1 retrotransposons to alter their structure and distribution.

Extensive phenotypic variation among allelic T-DNA inserts in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:T-DNA insertion mutants are a tool used widely in Arabidopsis thaliana to disrupt gene function. We phenotyped multiple homozygous T-DNA A. thaliana mutants at each of two loci (AT1G11060 and AT4G00210). We measured life history traits, including germination, size at reproduction and fruit production. Allelic T-DNA lines differed for most traits at AT1G11060 but not at AT4G00210. However, insertions in exons differed from other insertion positions in AT4G00210 but not in AT1G11060. We found evidence for additional insertions in approximately half of the lines, but found few phenotypic consequences. In general, our results suggest that a cautious interpretation of T-DNA phenotypes is warranted.

Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis centromere by T-DNA insertion-induced centromere breakage.

Project description:Two minichromosomes (alpha and delta) in addition to two other aberrant chromosomes (beta and gamma) were found in a transgenic Arabidopsis plant produced by an in planta vacuum infiltration technique. The minichromosomes were successfully separated by successive crossing and selfing and added to wild-type Columbia (Col-0) as a supernumerary chromosome. FISH indicated that both of the two minichromosomes originated from the short arm of chromosome 2. The mini alpha chromosome contained the whole short-arm 2S and a truncated centromere (180-bp repeat cluster), whereas mini delta lacked the terminal region including telomere repeats. Pachytene FISH clearly revealed that mini delta comprised a ring chromosome carrying two copies of the region from the 180-bp repeat cluster to BAC-F3C11. Both of the 180-bp clusters (each approximately 500 kb in length) were thought to possess normal centromere functions because the centromere-specific histone H3 variant (HTR12) was detected on both clusters. Notwithstanding this dicentric and ring form, mini delta was stably transmitted to the next generations, perhaps because of its compact size (<4 Mb). Chromosome beta also comprised a dicentric-like structure, with one of the two 180-bp repeat sites derived from chromosome 1 and the other from chromosome 2. However, the latter was quite small and failed to bind HTR12. The data obtained in this study indicated that 500 kb of the 180-bp array of the chromosome 2 centromere, from the edge of the 180-bp array on the short-arm side, is sufficient to form a functional domain.

Chromosomal translocations are a common phenomenon in Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA insertion lines.

Project description:Ordered collections of Arabidopsis thaliana lines containing mapped T-DNA insertions have become an important resource for plant scientists performing genetic studies. Previous reports have indicated that T-DNA insertion lines can have chromosomal translocations associated with the T-DNA insertion site, but the prevalence of these rearrangements has not been well documented. To determine the frequency with which translocations are present in a widely-used collection of T-DNA insertion lines, we analyzed 64 independent lines from the Salk T-DNA mutant collection. Chromosomal translocations were detected in 12 of the 64 lines surveyed (19%). Two assays were used to screen the T-DNA lines for translocations: pollen viability and genome-wide genetic mapping. Although the measurement of pollen viability is an indirect screen for the presence of a translocation, all 11 of the T-DNA lines showing an abnormal pollen phenotype were found to contain a translocation when analyzed using genetic mapping. A normal pollen phenotype does not, however, guarantee the absence of a translocation. We observed one T-DNA line with normal pollen that nevertheless had a translocation based on genetic mapping results. One additional phenomenon that we observed through our genetic mapping experiments was that the T-DNA junctions on the 5'- and 3'-sides of a targeted gene can genetically separate from each other in some cases. Two of the lines in our survey displayed this 'T-DNA borders separate' phenomenon. Experimental procedures for efficiently screening T-DNA lines for the presence of chromosomal abnormalities are presented and discussed.

Intronic T-DNA insertion in Arabidopsis NBR1 conditionally affects wild-type transcript level.

Project description:The SALK_135513 line of Arabidopsis thaliana is annotated by GenBank to have the T-DNA insertion in the fourth exon of NBR1 (At4g24690). Careful molecular analyses of the homozygous plants of SALK_135513 line indicated the place of T-DNA insertion in the fourth intron. Unexpectedly, 2 kinds of NBR1 transcripts, the wild-type and the mutated, resulting from alternative splicing events, were detected in those plants. Our findings explain the problems encountered by us with phenotypic evaluation of this line and emphasize the necessity for independent verification of the exact insertion site followed by careful expression studies when working with Arabidopsis T-DNA insertional mutants.

Lipidomic Analysis of Arabidopsis T-DNA Insertion Lines Leads to Identification and Characterization of C-Terminal Alterations in FATTY ACID DESATURASE 6.

Project description:Mass-spectrometry-based screening of lipid extracts of wounded and unwounded leaves from a collection of 364 Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA insertion lines produced lipid profiles that were scored on the number and significance of their differences from the leaf lipid profiles of wild-type plants. The analysis identified Salk_109175C, which displayed alterations in leaf chloroplast glycerolipid composition, including a decreased ratio between two monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) molecular species, MGDG(18:3/16:3) and MGDG(18:3/18:3). Salk_109175C has a confirmed insertion in the At5g64790 locus; the insertion did not co-segregate with the recessive lipid phenotype in the F2 generation of a wild-type (Columbia-0) × Salk_109175C cross. The altered lipid compositional phenotype mapped to the At4g30950 locus, which encodes the plastidial ω-6 desaturase FATTY ACID DESATURASE 6 (FAD6). Sequencing revealed a splice-site mutation, leading to the in-frame deletion of 13 amino acids near the C-terminal end of the 448 amino acid protein. Heterologous expression in yeast showed that this deletion eliminates desaturase activity and reduces protein stability. Sequence comparison across species revealed that several amino acids within the deletion are conserved in plants and cyanobacteria. Individual point mutations in four conserved residues resulted in 77-97% reductions in desaturase activity, while a construct with all four alanine substitutions lacked activity. The data suggest that the deleted region of FAD6, which is on the C-terminal side of the four putative transmembrane segments and the histidine boxes putatively involved in catalysis, is critical for FAD6 function.
