The copy number and sequence variation of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) operon are of functional significance in evolution and ecology of organisms. However, the relationship between copy number and sequence variation of rDNA in protists has been rarely studied. Here we quantified rDNA copy numbers of oligotrich and peritrich ciliate species using single-cell quantitative PCR. We also examined the rDNA...
Polyubiquitin genes from seven ciliate species were amplified, cloned and sequenced. It is estimated that Strombidium sulcatum, Euplotes vannus, E. rariseta and Anteholosticha manca have a polyubiquitin gene of 3 repeats, and A. parawarreni, Paramecium caudatum and Pseudokeronopsis flava 4 repeats. The newly obtained ubiquitins mostly differ from that of humans by 1–5 residues in amino acid sequences...
A new and convenient method for the acid-catalysed Michael addition reactions of alcohols, thiols and amines to methyl vinyl ketone has been developed using the ionic liquid ethyltri-n-butylphosphonium tosylate. The reaction conditions are mild and obviate the need for toxic and expensive Lewis acid catalysts, offering advantages over more commonly used systems.
