SUMMARYrRNA and a heterologous cloned rDNA probe have been used to detect the rRNA genes of Eimeria species which infe the chicken, and has allowed the isolation and preliminary characterization of cloned rDNA sequences from a genomic DNA library of Eimeria tenella. It is demonstrated that rRNA and rDNA probes can be used to identify individual Eimeria species by the restriction fragment patterns detected after Southern hybridization. In addition, studies have shown that the large and small subunit rRNAs are expressed throughout sporulation.

Dg2, a gene encoding a 34 kDa immunodominant antigen of Dirofilaria immitis was cloned and demonstrated to be specifically expressed in the larval stage. In this study, a newly constructed genomic DNA library was screened by hybridization with Dg2. One of the resulting positive clones was similar to Dg2 in the structure of its exonic regions but different in number, position, size and sequence of introns. This was designated DgK. Full-length cDNA was isolated using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) method to study the transcript corresponding to DgK. Sequence analysis revealed that the mRNA corresponding to DgK is trans-spliced during post-transcriptional processing because the 5′ end of the amplified cDNA contains seven nucleotides of the nematode-spliced leader (SL) sequence.

ABSTRACT We have cloned the gene for polyphosphate:AMP phosphotransferase (PAP), the enzyme that catalyzes phosphorylation of AMP to ADP at the expense of polyphosphate [poly(P)] in Acinetobacter johnsonii 210A. A genomic DNA library was constructed in Escherichia coli, and crude lysates of about 6,000 clones were screened for PAP activity. PAP activity was evaluated by measuring ATP produced by the coupled reactions of PAP and purified E. coli poly(P) kinases (PPKs). In this coupled reaction, PAP produces ADP from poly(P) and AMP, and the resulting ADP is converted to ATP by PPK. The isolated pap gene (1,428 bp) encodes a protein of 475 amino acids with a molecular mass of 55.8 kDa. The C-terminal region of PAP is highly homologous with PPK2 homologs isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Two putative phosphate-binding motifs (P-loops) were also identified. The purified PAP enzyme had not only strong PAP activity but also poly(P)-dependent nucleoside monophosphate kinase activity, by which it converted ribonucleoside monophosphates and deoxyribonucleoside monophosphates to ribonucleoside diphosphates and deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates, respectively. The activity for AMP was about 10 times greater than that for GMP and 770 and about 1,100 times greater than that for UMP and CMP.
