摘要:
A (G + C)-rich satellite DNA component (p= 1.716 g/ml) has been fractionated from the total DNA of the Iranian subspecies of the Asiatic wild ass, Equus hemionus onager, by successive dactinomycin-CsCl and netropsin sulfate-CsCl isopycnic gradients. Complementary 3H-RNA (cRNA) transcribed from the satellite DNA hybridized predominantly to the centromeric and telomeric constitutive heterochromatic regions of onager chromosomes. These studies have suggested that satellite DNA’s with similar sequences are present in the centromeric, as well as telomeric, heterochromatic regions of some onager chromosomes. The centromeric region of the fusion metacentric t(23;24) of the onager is deficient in sequences homologous to the onager 1.716 g/ml satellite DNA, indicating a loss of satellite DNA during fusion or an amplification of the satellite DNA in the centromeric regions of the acrocentric chromosomes 23 and 24 subsequent to fission. Sequences complementary to onager 1.716 g/ml satellite DNA show extensive hybridization to the constitutive heterochromatin of the feral donkey (E. asinus) karyotype, consistent with a view of conservation and amplification of similar or identical sequences in the two specie
