[Method] The sequence fragments of FaGF14-B and FaGF14-C obtained from reverse transcription were used as templates, and the full- length cDNA sequences of FaGF14-B and FaGF14-C were amplified using the 5' RACE use 3'RACE techniques. They were named as FaGF14-B and FaGF14-C, and used for nucleic acid sequence analysis, encoded protein analysis, protein con- served domain analysis, phylogenetic analysis and differential expression analysis. [Result] The FaGF14-B gene has a full length of 1 548 bp. It has a complete open reading frame (ORF, 449-1 228 bp), and encodes a protein composed of 261 amino acids. The FaGF14-C gene has a full length of 1 250 bp. It also has a complete open reading frame (ORF, 66-848 bp), and encodes a protein composed of 261 amino acids. The GF14-B and GF14-C proteins all have a typical domain 14-3-3, and their secondary structures all contain 9 conserved co-helical structures and non-conserved N- and C- terminals. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the FaGF14-B and FaGF14-C from tall rescue have high similarities with GF14 protein from gramineous plants, and they are divided into the same clade with closer ge- netic relationship. The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression of FaGF14-B and FaGF14-C genes is all sensitive to nitrogen stress. [Conclusion] This study will lay a theoretical basis for further screening of low nitrogen-tolerant genes and breeding of low nitrogen-tolerant grass germplasms.展开更多

METHJODS: Fourteen fluorescent dye-labeled polymorphic markers were used and polymerase chain reaction-based microsatellite analysis was employed to investigate loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 14q in 20 primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). RESULTS: Ten of twenty (50%) GBM displayed LOH at one or more of the markers on chromosome 14q. Five tumors showed either LOH or non-informative on all markers tested. The most frequent LOH was observed at locus D14S65 (57.1%) on 14q32.1, and in the chromosomal region spanning from D14S63 (47.1%) to D14S74 (46.7%) on 14q23-31. None of the informative loci exhibited microsatellite instability. CONCLUSIONS: Allelic deletion on chromosome 14q plays an important role in the pathogenesis of GBM. Chromosomal regions at locus D14S65 on 14q32.1 and spanning from D14S63 to D14S74 on 14q23-31 may harbor multiple tumor suppressor genes associated with GBM.展开更多
