  1. DEVELOPMENT OF A PCR BASED TEST TO DIFFERENTIATE PADDLEFISH AND STURGEON EGGS Scott Cooper, Jill Mader, Sue Kittleson, Valerie Hyde, Marc RottBiology/Microbiology Department, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, La Crosse, WI 56401

  2. Sample Preparation • Eggs kept on ice until freezing at -80oC • Single egg mashed with sterile glass rod in 200 ul buffer (20 mM Tris, 20 mM KCl, 0.5% Tween 20, 5% Chelex, 0.2 mg/ml proteinase K) • Samples incubated 1.5 hours at 55oC • Samples incubated 8 minutes at 95oC • Samples centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 10 minutes • An aliquot was removed for PCR amplification (0.01-1 ul)

  3. 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) CBR1 Mix together... • Sample DNA • dNTPs • Buffer • Taq DNA Polymerase • PCR Primers CBL1 TGATGAAATTTTGGCTCACT CBR1 GTGGAAGGCGAAGAATCG CBL1 95oC 55oC 72oC

  4. Cytochrome b DNA Sequences • PCR products from paddlefish, shovelnose sturgeon and lake sturgeon were cloned and sequenced. Table 1. Percent DNA Sequence Identity Shovelnose Lake 86.6% 86.0% Paddlefish Lake 90.8%

  5. Restriction Enzyme Digestion Mix together : • 1 ul PCR product • 8 ul buffer and water • 1 ul restriction enzyme Incubate 30 min, 37oC. Subject sample to agarose gel electrophoresis for 45 minutes. Stain gel with ethidium bromide and photograph.

  6. HincII PA SN LK NarI HincII Restriction Mapping Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sites. A single change in the sequence of that site will prevent cleavage. Example: HincII cuts GTTAAC in paddlefish cyt b DNA but not GTAAAC in sturgeon cyt b DNA

  9. Conclusions • Enough DNA can be isolated from a single fish egg to allow for sucessful PCR amplification. • DNA sequence analysis demosnstrates unique genetic markers in paddlefish, and in shovelnose, pallid and lake sturgeon. • This assay will allow the species identification of a single egg within one day. • To date this assay has been tested on more than thirty fish, from all over the country, with no observed discrepancies in the assay.
