Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Quercus fabri (Fagaceae)

    Z.Z. Xiao, W.W. Chen, W. Bao, R. Wang and Y.Y. Li

Quercus fabri is a pioneer species of secondary succession in evergreen broadleaved forests in China. In this study, we isolated and developed 12 polymorphic and 2 monomorphic microsatellite loci for Q. fabri using the biotin-streptavidin capture method. We characterized 12 polymorphic loci in 52 individuals from two populations. The number of alleles per locus rang.. Read More»

Expression and diagnostic value of proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Z.Y. Zhu, Y. Liu, H.B. Wang, J.Z. Xiao, Y.F. Qiu, L. Yan, D. Chen, A.G. Liu and X. Yang

We constructed a prokaryotic expression vector expressing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein TB16.3, as well as 3 other proteins, including TB15.3, CFP-10, and Rv2626C, which were purified and analyzed for their effectiveness as detection antibodies. The TB16.3 genes of M. tuberculosis H37Rv genomic DNA were amplified by polymerase cha.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and characterization of a chlorophyll degradation regulatory gene (ZjSGR) from Zoysia japonica

    K. Teng, Z.H. Chang, G.Z. Xiao, W.E. Guo, L.X. Xu, Y.H. Chao and L.B. Han

The stay-green gene (SGR) is a key regulatory factor for chlorophyll degradation and senescence. However, to date, little is known about SGR in Zoysia japonica. In this study, ZjSGR was cloned, using rapid amplification of cDNA ends-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The target sequence is 831 bp in length, corresponding to 276 amino acids. Protein BLAST results showe.. Read More»

Expression and serological diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis CFP-10 and Rv2626c proteins

    Z.Y. Zhu, D. Zhang, H.B. Wang, J.Z. Xiao, Y.F. Qiu, L. Yan, D. Chen, A.G. Liu and X. Yang

We constructed a Mycobacterium tuberculosis vector expressing CFP-10 and Rv2626c to examine the expression of these proteins in Escherichia coli as well as their immunoreactivity. The CFP-10 and Rv2626c genes were amplified from tuberculosis H37Rv genomic DNA using polymerase chain reaction. They were ligated into the expression vector PET30a and e.. Read More»

MTHFR C677T polymorphism and osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women: a meta-analysis

    J.Z. Guan, M. Wu, Y.Z. Xiao, J.S. Zhou and Z.D. Wang

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal women. However, the results have been inconsistent. We performed a meta-analysis of the association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal women. Only seven case-control studies were retrieved, w..

Cloning and expression of the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic oxidase gene from Agrostis stolonifera

    G.Z. Xiao, L.J. Li, K. Teng, Y.H. Chao and L.B. Han

A gene encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic oxidase (ACO), which catalyzes the terminal step in ethylene biosynthesis, was isolated from Agrostis stolonifera. The AsACO gene is composed of 975 bp, encoding 324 amino acids. Three exons interspersed by two introns form AsACO gDNA. A BLAST search of the nucleotide sequence revealed a high level of similarity (79-9.. Read More»

Prospective study of MTHFR genetic polymorphisms as a possible etiology of male infertility

    S.-S. Li, J. Li, Z. Xiao, A.-G. Ren and L. Jin

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between 2 genetic polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR), C677T and A1298C, and determine the long-term reproductive outcome in infertile men. This was a prospective study conducted in an andrology clinic. Men with a 1-year history of infertility were assessed for the M.. Read More»
