Saccharomyces cerevisiae glutamine tRNA(CAG) is encoded by an intronless, single-copy gene, SUP60. We have imposed a requirement for splicing in the biosynthesis of this tRNA by inserting a synthetic intron in the SUP60 gene. Genetic analysis demonstrated that the interrupted gene produces a functional, mature tRNA product in vivo.

We isolated a cloned DNA fragment containing PRT1, a gene required for the initiation of protein biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by complementation of the temperature-sensitive prtl-1 mutation. The entire PRT1 gene is contained within a 3.2-kilobase-pair segment of the cloned DNA in YEp13 H1.2. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that PRT1 is a single copy gene which is transcribed into a 2.3-kilobase RNA. We determined the direction of transcription and mapped the 5' and 3' ends of the gene.

Giardiasis in humans is a gastrointestinal disease transmitted by the potentially zoonotic Giardia duodenalis genotypes (assemblages) A and B. Small wild rodents such as mice and voles are discussed as potential reservoirs for G. duodenalis but are predominantly populated by the two rodent species Giardia microti and Giardia muris. Currently, the detection of zoonotic and non-zoonotic Giardia species and genotypes in these animals relies on cumbersome PCR and sequencing approaches of genetic marker genes. This hampers the risk assessment of potential zoonotic Giardia transmissions by these animals. Here, we provide a workflow based on newly developed real-time PCR schemes targeting the small ribosomal RNA multi-copy gene locus to distinguish G. muris, G. microti and G. duodenalis infections. For the identification of potentially zoonotic G. duodenalis assemblage types A and B, an established protocol targeting the single-copy gene 4E1-HP was used. The assays were specific for the distinct Giardia species or genotypes and revealed an analytical sensitivity of approximately one or below genome equivalent for the multi-copy gene and of about 10 genome equivalents for the single-copy gene. Retesting a biobank of small rodent samples confirmed the specificity. It further identified the underlying Giardia species in four out of 11 samples that could not be typed before by PCR and sequencing. The newly developed workflow has the potential to facilitate the detection of potentially zoonotic and non-zoonotic Giardia species in wild rodents.

We identified a novel chicken actin gene. The actin protein deduced from its nucleotide sequence very closely resembles the vertebrate cytoplasmic actins; accordingly, we classified this gene as a nonmuscle type. We adopted the convention for indicating the nonmuscle actins of the class Amphibia (Vandekerckhove et al., J. Mol. Biol. 152:413-426) and denoted this gene as type 5. RNA blot analysis demonstrated that the type 5 actin mRNA transcripts accumulate in adult tissues in a pattern indicative of a nonmuscle actin gene. Genomic DNA blots indicated that the type 5 actin is a single copy gene and a distinct member of the chicken actin multigene family. Inspection of the nucleotide sequence revealed many features that distinguished the type 5 gene from all other vertebrate actin genes examined to date. These unique characteristics include: (i) an initiation Met codon preceding an Ala codon, a feature previously known only in plant actins, (ii) a single intron within the 5' untranslated region, with no interruptions in the coding portion of the gene, and (iii) an atypical Goldberg-Hogness box (ATAGAA) preceding the mRNA initiation terminus. These unusual features have interesting implications for actin gene diversification during evolution.
