AI Article Synopsis

  • Cloning of the pceA gene, responsible for breaking down tetrachloroethene (PCE), was done using environmental DNA.
  • Two related genes were amplified using PCR, but efforts to express them in E. coli did not succeed.
  • However, PceA1, produced in vitro, was enzymatically active and formed a complex with the host's DnaK, leading to abnormal filamentous growth in the recombinant E. coli.

Article Abstract

Cloning of pceA, the gene of tetrachloroethene (PCE)-reductive dehalogenase, was undertaken from environmental DNA. Two genes were amplified using PCR primer deduced from pceA. Functional expression of these genes was unsuccessful in Escherichia coli, but PceA1 synthesized in vitro was enzymatically active. In recombinant E. coli, PceA1 formed a complex with host DnaK and caused filamentous growth.

Objective: In this study, we examined the genetic, medical, and molecular traits of two Han Chinese families with the tRNA G5783A mutation to investigate the relationship between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and major depressive disorder (MDD).

Methods: Clinical data and comprehensive mitochondrial genomes were collected from the two families. Variants were assessed for evolutionary conservation, allelic frequencies, and their structural and functional impacts.
