[Molecular cloning of the gene for secreted beta-galactosidase of the filamentous fungus Penicillium canescens].

A secreted beta-galactosidase gene from P. canescens was cloned using synthetic oligonucleotide probes and its nucleotide sequence was partially determined. The gene was shown to be present in the genome as a single copy.

An attempt to elucidate the origin of cultivated soybean via comparison of nucleotide sequences encoding glycinin B4 polypeptide of cultivated soybean, Glycine max, and its presumed wild progenitor, Glycine soja.

Nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding soybean glycinin B4 polypeptide were compared for three soybean cultivars and two introductions of wild soybean, G. soja. For three G.

[Cloning and structural analysis of cDNA coding for human prointerleukin-1 alpha and prointerleukin-1 beta].

The data are presented on the cloning and structural analysis of the cDNA coding for human prointerleukin-1 alpha and prointerleukin-1 beta (proIL-1 alpha and proIL-1 beta). The nucleotide sequences of proIL-1 alpha and proIL-1 beta cDNAs have been compared with the sequences published earlier. The nucleotide changes resulting in the aminoacid changes of the protein were not found.

[Nucleotide sequences encoding glycinin B4 polypeptide of the cultivated soybean Glycine max and its presumed wild-type ancestor Glycine soja in connection with the origin of cultivated soybean].

Nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding soybean glycinin B4 polypeptide were compared in three soybean cultivars and two plant introductions of wild soybean Glycine soja. Only two nucleotide substitutions were found in three cultivars G. max, as compared with G.

[The parameters of the molecular evolution of the 11S globulins of plants].

Nucleotide sequences of cloned cDNA coding for soybean storage protein glycinin and deduced amino acid sequences of basic polypeptides (subfamily II) of glycinin are compared with the amino acid sequences of 11S globulins from other plants. An average number of amino acid substitutions in various evolutionary branches is calculated. A proportional dependence is established between the average number of substitutions per site (the evolutionary distance) and the hypothetical term of divergence of corresponding taxa.

[Nucleotide sequence of cDNA of glicinin A3 subunits: variability of different species detected by comparative analysis].

Several cDNA cloned which code for subfamily A3 subunits (A3B4 and A5A4B3) of soybean storage protein glycinin were analysed by means of restriction mapping and hybrid - selection. The comparison of A3B4 and A5A4B3 subunits cDNA sequences reveals the 90% homology. The nucleotide sequences obtained in the process of this work were compared with those reported about elsewhere, in order to study the interaspecific variability of homologous but not identical storage protein genes of subfamily A3 glycinin subunit.

A colony hybridization study of mRNA in maturating soybean seeds.

Polysomal poly(A)RNA was transcribed by avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) reverse transcriptase and double-stranded complementary DNA (cDNA) was then synthesized and cloned in Escherichia coli C600 by (dG)-(dC) tailing in the PstI site of pBR322. A bank of mRNA sequences from maturating soybean seeds (average weight 200 mg) was obtained. (32)P-cDNA based on mRNA from various organs of the plant (leaves, axes, seeds) was synthesized.
