Using vector-CENP-B box polymerase chain reaction (PCR) we isolated and cloned from a human chromosome 21-specific plasmid library, a 1 kb DNA sequence, named p alpha H21. In in situ hybridization experiments, p alpha H21 hybridized, under high stringency conditions, to the centromeric region of all the human, chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan chromosomes. On human chromosomes p alpha H21 also identified non-centromeric sequences at 2q21 (locus D2F33S1) and 9q13 (locus D9F33S2). The possible derivation of these sequences from ancestral centromeres is discussed. Sequence analysis confirmed the alphoid nature of the whole p alpha H21 insert.
利用载体着丝粒蛋白B盒聚合酶链反应(PCR),我们从一个人类21号染色体特异性质粒文库中分离并克隆出一段1 kb的DNA序列,命名为pαH21。在原位杂交实验中,pαH21在高严格条件下与所有人类、黑猩猩、大猩猩和猩猩染色体的着丝粒区域杂交。在人类染色体上,pαH21还在2q21(基因座D2F33S1)和9q13(基因座D9F33S2)处鉴定出非着丝粒序列。本文讨论了这些序列可能源自祖先着丝粒的情况。序列分析证实了整个pαH21插入片段的α卫星性质。
