黄牛、牦牛和犏牛睾丸组织中Cdc2、Cdc25A基因mRNA表达水平

Multiple limit cycles in the chemostat with variable yield

The global asymptotic behavior of solutions of the variable yield model is determined. The model generalizes the classical Monod model and it assumes that the yield is an increasing function of the nutrient concentration. In contrast to the Monod model, it is demonstrated that the variable yield model exhibits sustained oscillations. Moreover, it is shown that the variable yield model may undergo a subcritical Hopf bifurcation and feature at least two distinct limit cycles. Implications for the coexistence of competing populations are discussed.     

Reduction of slow-fast discrete models coupling migration and demography

This work deals with a general class of two-time scales discrete nonlinear dynamical systems which are susceptible of being studied by means of a reduced system that is obtained using the so-called aggregation of variables method. This reduction process is applied to several models of population dynamics driven by demographic and migratory processes which take place at two different time scales: slow and fast. An analysis of these models exchanging the role of the slow and fast dynamics is provided: when a Leslie type demography is faster than migrations, a multi-attractor scenario appears for the reduced dynamics; on the other hand, when the migratory process is faster than demography, the reduction process gives rise to new interpretations of well known discrete models, including some Allee effect scenarios.     

Discrete-time host–parasitoid models with pest control

We propose a simple discrete-time host–parasitoid model to investigate the impact of external input of parasitoids upon the host–parasitoid interactions. It is proved that the input of the external parasitoids can eventually eliminate the host population if it is above a threshold and it also decreases the host population level in the unique interior equilibrium. It can simplify the host–parasitoid dynamics when the host population practices contest competition. We then consider a corresponding optimal control problem over a finite time period. We also derive an optimal control model using a chemical as a control for the hosts. Applying the forward–backward sweep method, we solve the optimal control problems numerically and compare the optimal host populations with the host populations when no control is applied. Our study concludes that applying a chemical to eliminate the hosts directly may be a more effective control strategy than using the parasitoids to indirectly suppress the hosts.     

A Biochemical Explanation of Phenyl Acetate Neurotoxicity in Experimental Phenylketonuria

The in vivo formation of [1-14C]acetyl-coenzyme A from D-[3-14C]3-hydroxybutyrate in the brain of the suckling rat was not affected by postnatal exposure to phenyl acetate. However, utilization of the generated acetyl-coenzyme A was significantly inhibited in certain metabolic reactions, namely synthesis of fatty acids and of sterols, but not in others as the Krebs cycle reactions that lead to the production of dicarboxylic amino acids. The incorporation of D-[U-14C]glucosamine into N-acetylneuraminic acid bound to glycoproteins was appreciably diminished in the rat pup previously exposed to maternal phenylketonuria induced by phenyl acetate. During the period of very rapid development of the brain, interference by phenyl acetate and/or its metabolites with certain critical biosynthetic pathways that require acetyl-coenzyme A would significantly contribute to retarded maturation of the brain that occurs in phenylketonuria.     

The Human SLC25A33 and SLC25A36 Genes of Solute Carrier Family 25 Encode Two Mitochondrial Pyrimidine Nucleotide Transporters

The human genome encodes 53 members of the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), also called the mitochondrial carrier family, many of which have been shown to transport inorganic anions, amino acids, carboxylates, nucleotides, and coenzymes across the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby connecting cytosolic and matrix functions. Here two members of this family, SLC25A33 and SLC25A36, have been thoroughly characterized biochemically. These proteins were overexpressed in bacteria and reconstituted in phospholipid vesicles. Their transport properties and kinetic parameters demonstrate that SLC25A33 transports uracil, thymine, and cytosine (deoxy)nucleoside di- and triphosphates by an antiport mechanism and SLC25A36 cytosine and uracil (deoxy)nucleoside mono-, di-, and triphosphates by uniport and antiport. Both carriers also transported guanine but not adenine (deoxy)nucleotides. Transport catalyzed by both carriers was saturable and inhibited by mercurial compounds and other inhibitors of mitochondrial carriers to various degrees. In confirmation of their identity (i) SLC25A33 and SLC25A36 were found to be targeted to mitochondria and (ii) the phenotypes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells lacking RIM2, the gene encoding the well characterized yeast mitochondrial pyrimidine nucleotide carrier, were overcome by expressing SLC25A33 or SLC25A36 in these cells. The main physiological role of SLC25A33 and SLC25A36 is to import/export pyrimidine nucleotides into and from mitochondria, i.e. to accomplish transport steps essential for mitochondrial DNA and RNA synthesis and breakdown.     

Fern constituents: Cycloartane triterpenoids and allied compounds from Polypodium formosanum and P. niponicum

From the rhizomes of Polypodium formosanum, new triterpenoids of the cycloartane group, (24R)-cyclolaudenol and (24R)-cyclomargenol, were isolated as the corresponding acetates, alcohols and ketones, and their structures were established. Also, from the rhizomes of P. niponicum eight acetates of cycloartane derivatives and two acetates of new methyl sterols were isolated and characterized.     

Metabolism and biological activity of all-trans 4,4-difluororetinyl acetate

All-trans [11-³H]4,4-difluororetinyl acetate was synthesized by treating methyl all-trans [11-³H]4-oxoretinoate with diethylaminosulfurtrifluoride, followed by reduction and acetylation of the product. After oral administration of the radioactive difluoro analog in oil to rats, difluororetinol, difluororetinyl palmitate and related esters, 4-oxoretinol, 4-oxoretinoic acid and polar conjugated derivatives were identified in the intestine, liver, kidney and / or blood. The major metabolic products were difluororetinyl palmitate and related esters, which were stored in the liver. The presence of the difluoro analog in liver oil from treated rats was confirmed by ¹⁹F-NMR spectroscopy. Neither retinol nor retinyl esters were detected as products of the metabolism of the difluoro analog. Nonetheless, all-trans difluororetinyl acetate showed 26 ± 12% of the biological activity of all-trans retinyl acetate in the rat growth assay. Presumably, the difluoro analog is active per se in growth rather than by conversion to retinol or to one of its known growth-promoting metabolites. In general, however, the difluoro analog was metabolized in a manner very similar to vitamin A. The vitamin A moiety of administered difluororetinyl acetate and retinyl acetate was poorly stored (1.8–3.3%) in the liver of vitamin A-depleted rats, confirming and extending past reports that the liver storage mechanism is severely impaired when initial liver stores are very low.     

Mechanism of the acetone formation by Clostridium acetobutylicum

Abstract The production of acetone by Clostridium acetobutylicum was favoured when acetate was added to the culture medium. In the presence of acetate an increase of the acetone concentration from 4.2 to 10.1 g per liter was noted without any change of the butanol concentration. The coenzyme A transferase and the acetoacetate carboxylase were not limiting factors since the addition of acetic acid allowed the biosynthesis of acetone to increase. The control of acetate production by the cells, which is not coupled to the butanol formation, is the key point of the acetone biosynthesis.
