Genetic Recombination in Eukaryotes

Genetics 06

Summary• Dihybrid inheritance

• 2. Mendel’s law: gene pairs on different chromosomes assort independently in gamete formation

• segregation of phenotypes in F2 obtained from inbreeding: 9:3:3:1

• segregation of phenotypes in test cross progeny: 1:1:1:1

• Recombination

• generation of new allele combinations

• interchromosomal recombination

• intrachromosomal recombination

• 2 gene pairs: 50% recombinant gametes

• to detect recombinants in diploid organisms: use a test cross

Summary• Linkage and crossover (CO)

• if two genes do not assort independently: linkage (located on same chromosome)

• recombination still possible through CO

• RF < 50%

• Genetic maps

• RF an estimate of distance between two linked genes

• map distances are generally additive: assembly of genetic map by mapping many different loci

• gene distances vary between physical and genetic maps

• suppression of recombination (e.g., CEN)

• CO hotspots

• Meiotic recombination

• DSB (Spo11), trimming, 3’ ssDNA ends, homology search, strand invasion, heteroduplex formation, HJs

• resolution of HJs: CO or no CO

• gene conversion: one allele turned into the homologous allele (mismatch repair at heteroduplex)

• Mitotic recombination

Bacterial genetics: the basisof modern DNA technology

Is there genetic exchange in asexually growing bacteria?

Yes

Bacteria exchange DNA by several processes

Lactococcus lactis

Escherichia coli (E. coli)

Bacterial colonies, each derived from a single cell

Genetic map of E. coli

Summary• Plasmids

• small DNA circles (1-2% of bacterial DNA), replicate autonomously in bacterial cell

• contain additional genes (e.g, resistance genes, F genes)

• Conjugation

• directional transfer of DNA from a donor to a recipient cell, requires physical contact

• F plasmid confers “maleness”

• Hfr strains

• copy of F plasmid integrated somewhere in bacterial chromosome

• produces high number of recombinants in Hfr x F- crosses

• merozygote exconjugants where multiple crossovers can occur between exo- and endogenote

• Interrupted mating and recombination mapping

• circular genetic map of E. coli

Summary• Bacteriophages

• bacterial viruses

• Virulent phages

• immediately lyse and kill their host bacterium

• e.g., bacteriophages P1, T4

• Temperate phage

• maintained in host bacterium without immediately killing the host

• e.g., bacteriophage λ

• Prophage

• phage genome that is integrated into the host chromosome

• lysogenic bacterium carries a prophage

• General transduction

• Phage transfers any piece of bacterial genomic DNA between cells

• Special transduction

• Prophage integrated at a single, specific site in bacterial chromsome (e.g., λ attachment site)

• transfers only genes located close by the attachment site
