Abstract

Introduction: Here we compare differences in the presence of telomeric signals (tDNA-FISH) among karyotypes of taxa having different whole-arm chromosomal rearrangements under the assumption of their participation in differentiation/integration processes during karyotype evolution. We analyzed cytogenetic peculiarities of Robertsonian-like (centromeric) and tandem (telomere-involving) rearrangements using examples of the authors' recent research on comparative cytogenetics of mammals. New data on intra- and interspecific karyotype variation helped to understand the nature of chromosomal rearrangements and their molecular features within and between species in two mammalian taxa: representatives of two genera from two orders (insectivores and rodents).

Methods: To detect telomeric repeats in karyotypes of representatives of the Eurasian genus Sorex and Ethiopian endemic Stenocephalemys, G-banded metaphase chromosomes were hybridized in situ with a fluorescein-conjugated peptide nucleic acid probe and 5-TAMRA-labeled (CCCTAA)4 oligonucleotides.

Results: We compared the location of a molecular chromosomal trait-telomeric sequences-among karyotypes of taxonomically distinct individuals having different types of whole-arm chromosomal rearrangements. Along with the regular terminal location of the telomeric signal on all chromosomes, displays of interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) were detectable. This pattern was typical for a studied shrew specimen whose karyotype corresponded to a natural interracial F1 hybrid. This finding doubles the number (known to date) of S. araneus race-specific metacentrics having an identified telomeric signal. In karyotypes of Stenocephalemys specimens, we revealed individual differences in autosomes corresponding to tandem fusion rearrangements, possibly species-specific, for the first time. No intrachromosomal telomeric signal expected in this case was detectable in autosomes, whereas we registered ITSs in pericentromeric regions on X chromosomes near a short, completely heterochromatic (additional) arm.

Conclusion: The new data indicates a heterogeneous distribution of the telomeric signal (tDNA-FISH) on mitotic chromosomes that are involved in (typical for mammals) whole-arm chromosomal variation, thus representing two models of karyotype evolution: Robertsonian polymorphism and tandem fusions. In the analyzed examples of whole-arm chromosomal rearrangements, displays of the centromeric ITS signal more likely represent an integral feature of cytogenetic relatedness within a species (chromosomal races) or between species (in a genus or group of genera) than differentiation of taxa.

全臂染色体重排和端粒信号显示:哺乳动物核型整合变异实例的细胞遗传学最新进展。
在此,我们比较了具有不同全臂染色体重排的类群核型中端粒信号(tDNA-FISH)存在的差异,假设它们在核型进化过程中参与了分化/整合过程。我们分析了罗伯逊样(着丝粒)和串联(涉及端粒)重排的细胞遗传学特性,使用作者最近对哺乳动物比较细胞遗传学研究的例子。关于种内和种间核型变异的新数据有助于了解两种哺乳动物分类群(食虫动物和啮齿动物)内和种间染色体重排的性质及其分子特征。方法:用荧光素偶联肽核酸探针和5个-TAMRA-labeled (CCCTAA)4个寡核苷酸原位杂交g -带中期染色体,检测欧亚Sorex属和埃塞俄比亚特有的Stenocephalemys的核型中端粒重复序列。结果:我们比较了具有不同类型全臂染色体重排的不同个体的核型中分子染色体性状-端粒序列的位置。随着端粒信号在所有染色体上的规则末端位置,显示间质端粒序列(ITSs)。这种模式是典型的研究鼩标本,其核型对应于一个自然的异种F1杂交。这一发现使具有已识别的端粒信号的S. araneus种族特异性元中心的数量(迄今已知)增加了一倍。在窄头鲸标本的核型中,我们首次揭示了与串联融合重排相对应的常染色体的个体差异,可能是物种特异性的。在这种情况下,在常染色体中没有检测到染色体内端粒信号,而我们在X染色体上靠近短的、完全异色的(额外的)臂的中心点周围区域发现了ITSs。结论:新数据表明,有丝分裂染色体上的端粒信号(tDNA-FISH)分布不均,参与了(典型的哺乳动物)全臂染色体变异,从而代表了两种核型进化模式:罗伯逊多态性和串联融合。在分析的全臂染色体重排的例子中,着丝点ITS信号的显示更可能代表一个物种(染色体种族)内或物种之间(属或属群)的细胞遗传学亲缘关系的整体特征,而不是分类群的分化。

期刊介绍: During the last decades, ''Cytogenetic and Genome Research'' has been the leading forum for original reports and reviews in human and animal cytogenetics, including molecular, clinical and comparative cytogenetics. In recent years, most of its papers have centered on genome research, including gene cloning and sequencing, gene mapping, gene regulation and expression, cancer genetics, comparative genetics, gene linkage and related areas. The journal also publishes key papers on chromosome aberrations in somatic, meiotic and malignant cells. Its scope has expanded to include studies on invertebrate and plant cytogenetics and genomics. Also featured are the vast majority of the reports of the International Workshops on Human Chromosome Mapping, the reports of international human and animal chromosome nomenclature committees, and proceedings of the American and European cytogenetic conferences and other events. In addition to regular issues, the journal has been publishing since 2002 a series of topical issues on a broad variety of themes from cytogenetic and genome research.
