Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA. Reactions involving ImpU gave smaller yields.Abbreviations A

Summary The carotenoid pigments of the myxobacterium Sorangium compositum were analyzed by chromatographical and chemical techniques and by visible, infra red, and mass spectroscopy. Besides -carotene, neurosporene, torulene, lycopene, and 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy--carotene, four new carotenoid glycosides were found. These pigments were identified as 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-torulene glucoside ester (I), 1,2-dihydro-3,1-dihydroxy-torulene glucoside ester (III), 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-torulene rhamnoside (II), and 1,2-dihydro-3,1-dihydroxytorulene rhamnoside (IV).Fifth communication on the carotenoids of myxobacteria.

The quality of nucleic acid solution structures can be significantly improved using residual dipolar coupling data. However, many of the one-bond couplings that could be used for this purpose are difficult to measure. Conventional 2D experiments are often unable to reveal one-bond H2-C2 and H3-C3 couplings in large RNA molecules due to spectral overlap. Here we show how to use 3D HCcH-COSY and Relay HCcH-COSY to measure one-bond H2-C2 and H3-C3 couplings which improved the precision of the structures obtained recently for a 42 nucleotide RNA. 相似文献

Summary Suspensions of endocrine pancreas cells were prepared by shaking collagenase-isolated rat islets of Langerhans in calcium-free buffer. When incubated with 1.0 mM substrate at pH 7.4, the cells split,P
i from 5-AMP at a rate of 87 nmol/h per g DNA, and from-glycerophosphate at a rate of 25 nmol/h per g DNAK
m for 5 AMP was about 54 M. Adenosine or theophylline inhibited the 5-AMP hydrolysis. Homogenization of the cells increased the activity toward 5-AMP by 23% and that toward-glycerophosphate by 115%. Injecting rats with cortisone had no effect on the 5-AMP hydrolysis by whole cells but significantly increased the activity in cell homogenates; the intracellular activity toward 5-AMP was more than doubled by the cortisone treatment. Staining whole islet cells for 5-AMP-splitting activity resulted in a demarcation of the cell periphery in control rats. Cells from cortisone-treated rats showed heavier deposits of reaction product, and their cell periphery did not stand out as clearly. It is suggested that 5-nucleotidase is largely an ectoenzyme in normal rat islet cells. The cells also contain an as yet unidentified intracellular phosphatase that seems to be solely responsible for the increased hydrolysis of 5-AMP in cortisone-treated rats. 相似文献

Crude extracts of Rhodospirillum rubrum catalyzed the formation of acid-volatile radioactivity from (35S) sulfate, (35S) adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, and (35S) 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate. An enzyme fraction similar to APS-sulfotransferases from plant sources was purified 228-fold from Rhodospirillum rubrum. It is suggested here that this enzyme is specific for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, because the purified enzyme fraction metabolized adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, however, only at a rate of 1/10 of that with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. Further, the reaction with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate was inhibited with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphate whereas this nucleotide had no effect on the reaction with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. For this activity with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate the name APS-sulfotransferase is suggested. This APS-sulfotransferase needs thiols for activity; good rates were obtained with either dithioerythritol or reduced glutathione; other thiols like cysteine, 2-3-dimercaptopropanol or mercaptoethanol are less effective. The electron donor methylviologen did not catalyze this reaction. The pH-optimum was about 9.0; the apparent K
m for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate was determined to be 0.05 mM with this so far purified enzyme fraction. Enzyme activity was increased with K2SO4 and Na2SO4 and was inhibited by 5-AMP. These properties are similar to assimilatory APS-sulfotransferases from spinach and Chlorella.Abbreviations APS

All stereoisomers of xanthoxin (XAN) and abscisic aldehyde (ABA-aldehyde) were prepared from (R) and (S)-4-hydroxy--cyclogeraniol via asymmetric epoxidation. Their stomatal closure activities were measured on epidermal strips of Commelina communis L. Natural (S)-ABA-aldehyde showed strong activity comparable to that of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA). Natural (1S, 2R, 4S)XAN and (1S, 2R, 4R)-epi-XAN also induced stomatal closure at high concentrations. On the other hand, unnatural (1R)-enantiomers of XAN, epi-XAN, and ABA-aldehyde were not effective. To further examine the Stereoselectivity on the biosynthetic pathway to ABA, deuterium-labeled substrates were prepared and fed to Lycopersicon esculentum Mill, under non-stressed or water-stressed conditions. Substantial incorporations into ABA were observed in the cases of natural (1S, 2R, 4S)-XAN, (1S, 2R, 4R)-epi-XAN and both enantiomers of ABA-aldehyde, leading to the following conclusions. The negligible effect of unnatural (1R)-enantiomers of XAN, epi-XAN and ABA-aldehyde can be explained by their own biological inactivity and/or their conversion to inactive (R)-ABA. Even in the isolated epidermal strips, putative aldehyde oxidase activity is apparently sufficient to convert ABA-aldehyde to ABA while the activity of XAN dehydrogenase seems very weak. The stereochemistry of the 1, 2-epoxide is very important for the XAN-dehydrogenase while this enzyme is less selective regarding the 4-hydrdxyl group of XAN and converts both (1S, 2R, 4S)-XAN and (1S, 2R, 4R)-epi-XAN to (S)-ABA-aldehyde. Abscisic aldehyde oxidase can nonstereoselectively convert both (S) and (R)-ABA-aldehyde to biologically active (S) and inactive (R)-ABA, respectively.Abbreviations ABA

Summary Crude cell-free extracts of Anabaena cylindrica synthesized adenosine-5-phosphosulphate (AP35S) and 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulphate (PAP35S) from 35SO4
2- in the presence of Mg2+, ATP and inorganic pyrophosphatase. Maximum AP35S and PAP35S were produced at pH 7.15 and 8.05, respectively. APS kinase was detected in the supernatant of crude cell-free extracts by a spectrophotometric procedure. ATP-Sulphurylase had an absolute requirement for Mg2+ and less than 30% AP35S was formed when Mg2+ was replaced by either Mn2+ or Co2+. Nucleotide triphosphates other than ATP and 2-deoxyATP were ineffective in this reaction. Maximum enzyme activity was observed at equimolar concentrations of Mg2+ and ATP and excess of either of these was inhibitory. Other nucleotide triphosphates, like GTP, UTP, CTP, TTP, ITP, or 2-deoxyATP also inhibited the enzyme activity. Inhibition by GTP was competitive with respect to ATP. ATP-sulphurylase activity was not affected by cysteine, methionine or glutathione.Abbreviations APS

Summary Ten hairy-cell leukemia patients were treated with interferon (IFN-) at a dose rate of 2 × 106 IU/m2 × 5 days for 4 weeks (induction therapy) and, thereafter, at the same dose three times a week for 11 months (maintenance therapy). The effect of this treatment on serum neopterin, 2-microglobulin, (2–5)oligoadenylate [(2–5)A
n
] levels, intracellular (2–5)A
n
values and human Mx protein synthesis was analysed. There were significant rises in serum neopterin and (2–5)A
n
levels during both induction and maintenance, whereas 2-microglobulin levels rose only during induction. Rises in intracellular (2–5)A
n
were documented mainly during induction, but they were not significantly higher than pretherapy values. IFN provoked an increase in human Mx protein synthesis over the entire induction — maintenance period, but was only significantly higher than baseline during induction. All markers proved useful for monitoring the effects of IFN dose schedules, but were not predictive of clinical outcome. Natural killer activity and IFN production, which were initially defective, followed a different trend from that of the other factors studied, in that increases were documented only late in the course of therapy when the disease was already in remission. 相似文献

Summary The and subunit of RNA polymerase are thought to be controlled by a translational feedback mechanism regulated by the concentration of RNA polymerase holoenzyme. To study this regulation in vivo, an inducible RNA polymerase overproduction system was developed. This system utilizes plasmids from two incompatibility groups that carry RNA polymerase subunit genes under lac promoter/operator control. When the structural genes encoding the components of core RNA polymerase (, and ) or holoenzyme (, , and 70) are present on the plasmids, induction of the lac promoter results in a two fold increase in the concentration of functional RNA polymerase. The induction of RNA polymerase overproduction is characterized by an initial large burst of synthesis followed by a gradual decrease as the concentration of RNA polymerase increases. Overproduction of RNA polymerase in a strain carrying an electrophoretic mobility mutation in the rpoB gene results in the specific repression of synthesis off the chromosome. These results indicate that RNA polymerase feedback regulation controls synthesis in vivo. 相似文献

A sulfotransferase isolated from the Cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6301 was found to be specific for 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate (PAPS). The molecular weight of this transferase has been estimated on a Sephadex-G-100 column to be about 58,000. The K
m for PAPS was determined to be 20 M. The pH optimum was 8.0. The thiol dithioerythritol was needed for activity; other thiols such as glutathione, cysteine, or mercaptoethanol did not catalyze this reaction. The transferase, however, could not react directly with the thiol. A heat-stable factor was needed in this reaction. This factor was purified by conventional techniques and its molecular weight was determined on a Sephadex-G-50 column to be about 11,500. The factor showed normal Michaelis-Menten behavior toward the PAPS-sulfotransferase. It has been identified as thioredoxin. The tranferase was inhibited by 3-5-ADP and 2–5-ADP; all other adenine-containing nucleotides such as 2-AMP, 3-AMP, 5-AMP, ADP, and c-AMP did not influence this reaction.Abbreviation PAPS

Summary Data has been obtained concerning the reduction of tetrazolium salts by mitochondria isolated from Jerusalem artichoke tubers with succinate as the substrate using a direct recording spectrophotometric method of assay. ATP was found to increase the rate of reduction of the tetrazolium salts, this being independent of the effect ATP had on the rate of oxygen uptake. The magnitude of the stimulation by ATP depended on the concentration of tetrazolium salts present and under certain circumstances was suppressed by the addition of azide and cyanide. The sites at which the tetrazolium salts were reduced along the electron transport chain were investigated. The role of ATP has been discussed in relation to the mechanism of tetrazolium reduction.Abbreviations TTC

Summary The self-condensation of 2(3)-O-glycyl esters of adenosine, adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate in 6.2 mM solutions at pH 8.0 and -5°C in the presence of 12.5 mM poly(U) yields approximately 3 times as much diketopiperazine as reactions without poly(U). As the concentration of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate is decreased from 6.2 mM to 1.5 mM the yield of diketopiperazine in the presence of poly(U) decreases slightly from 6.6% to 5.2%, whereas, in the absence of poly(U) the yield of diketopiperazine decreases substantially from 2.4% to 0.75%. The enhanced yield of diketopiperazine that is attributed to the template action of poly(U) is temperature dependent and is observed only at temperatures below 10°C (5°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and below 23°C (15°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate. The absence of a template effect at high temperatures is attributed to the melting of the organized helices. The hydrolysis half-lives at pH 8.0 and -5°C of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine, 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate), 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate, and 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) are substantially larger than their half-lives in the absence of poly(U). The condensation of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine yields 5% of 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) compared to 0.7% in the absence of poly(U).Abbreviations DKP

Summary Using A and C methylation-specific restriction enzymes, namely, MboI, Sau3AI, DpnI, MspI, and HpaII, total rice cv Basmati 370 DNA, repetitive DNAs, and a specific repeat sequence indicated an abundance of adenine methylation. Although cytosine methylation in 5-CCGG-3 sequences suggested more CpC methylation than CpG, the C methylation in sequence 5-GATC-3 was comparatively less than A methylation. Furthermore, the presence of adenine methylation was tissue specific; it was predominant in rice shoot DNA as compared to embryo DNA. This pattern was also observed in two other cultivars of rice, i.e., R-24 and Sona, and was again confirmed using a cloned probe of a specific repeat sequence. Besides the changes in adenine methylation, there was also a qualitative change in 5mC from CpG to CpC dinucleotides in these two tissue systems. 相似文献

Summary Imidazolides of dinucleotides such as ImpApA can be formed from the corresponding dinucleotides in a two-stage process, which gives up to 15% yields under potentially prebiotic conditions. First a solution of the dinucleotide and sodium trimetaphosphate is dried out at constant temperature and humidity. This produces polyphosphates such as pnApA in excellent yield (80%). The products are dissolved in water, imidazole is added, and the solution is dried out again. This yields the 5-phosphorimidazolides.Abbreviations P3!

The occurrence of adenosine 5-triphosphate-3-diphosphate-synthesizing activity was detected in five strains of actinomycetes; Streptomyces morookaensis, Streptomyces aspergilloides, Streptomyces hachijoensis, Actinomyces violascens and Streptoverticillium septatum, out of 825 strains of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and imperfecti. Purine nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase were extracellularly excreted associating with the cell growth, and were purified partially or to apparent homogeniety from the culture filtrate. The enzymes are a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 18000–26000 and synthesize adenosine, guanosine and inosine 5-phosphate (mono, di or tri)-3-diphosphate such as pApp, ppApp, pppApp, pGpp, ppGpp, pppGpp and pppIpp by transferring a pyrophosphoryl group from the 5-position of ATP, dATP and pppApp to the 3-position of purine nucleotides in the presence of a divalent cation and in alkaline state.Abbreviations pppApp

Summary Evaporation of a solution of thymidine plus either theexo or theendo diastereomer of uridine cyclic 2,3-O, O-phosphorothioate (U > p(S) in 1,2-diaminoethane hydrochloride buffer gave the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers of (P-thio) uridylylthymidine (Up(S)dT) in a ratio of 1:2 with a combined yield of about 20%. These isomers were re-converted to U > p(S) and dT by a reaction that is known to proceed by an in-line mechanism. Both the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers gave as product the same diastereomer of U > p(S) that had been used originally in their formation. These dry-state prebiotic reactions (Verlander, Lohrmann, and Orgel 1973) are thus shown to be stereospecific, and both the 2,5 and 3,5 internucleotide bonds are formed by an in-line mechanism.Abbreviations DAE

The seed storage globulins from sixHelianthus and four hybrids were studied using mono and bidimensional gel SDS electrophoresis (+ 2 mercaptoethanol). The polypeptide composition of each subunit was determined. Different pairs are specifically expressed according to the species studied. Three typical patterns were discriminated. All the studied species exhibit five subunits: two of them are expressed in all the species (11 and 22). The subunit corresponding to the 11 pair is present inH. petiolaris and in the three populations ofH. annuus studied. The 2b2 pair is common toH. annuus andH. argophyllus. H. petiolaris presents two specific 2a2 and 44 pairs andH. annuus a specific 33 pair. InH. argophyllus 11 33 or 44 are never observed but are replaced by 13 and 31 pairs. Some globulins, poorly represented, are of forms but present chains of higher molecular weights (in the range 54–56 kDa). Expressing variations in the banding patterns between these species by the use of a similarity index reveals complete identity between the three populations ofH. annuus. Identity between the twoH. petiolaris studied is also observed.H. annuus andH. argophyllus appear to be closer to each other thanH. petiolaris concerning the seed storage globulins. 相似文献

To evaluate alpha diversities, various variables such as density, cover, volume, and weight have been used. However, density is often a distinct variable from the remaining three. To clarify differences in diversity measured by those two kinds of variables, the data collected in fourteen 2×5 m permanently-marked plots on Mount Usu, Japan, which erupted during 1977 and 1978 in growing seasons from 1983 to 1989 was analyzed, using Shannon's species diversity (H) that is represented as a result of combination of species richness and evenness (J). H and J were evaluated by density (density H and J) and cover (cover H and J). Cover H and J were significantly lower than density H and J, indicating that cover H has different characteristics from density H. Those differences are due to differences in evenness, because species richness is the same. The rank orders of species density are different from those of cover. The predominance of a few perennial herbs greatly decreases cover evenness, while seedling establishment success influences density evenness. Therefore, I propose that, during the early stages of succession on harsh environments such as volcanoes, density diversity represents seedling establishment success rate while cover diversity expresses vegetative reproduction success rate. 相似文献
