库蠓亚属6种库蠓翅形变化分析及亲缘关系探讨

本研究基于几何形态学测量分析方法对库蠓亚属6种库蠓(渐灰库蠓Culicoides grisescens、光胸库蠓Culicoides impunctatus、日本库蠓Culicoides nipponensis、灰黑库蠓Culicoides pulicaris、刺螫库蠓Culicoides punctatus、天祥库蠓Culicoides tienhsiangensis)的翅脉形态进行定量分析,以探讨6种库蠓种间的亲缘关系。首先对库蠓亚属6种、24头标本翅脉使用几何形态学标点法标记12个地标点,并通过普氏叠加、典型变量分析法、聚类分析法等对6种库蠓翅进行比较分析以及种间亲缘关系探讨。结果显示,翅形变化与亲缘关系结果一致,即6种库蠓的翅形均有显著差异(P<0.05),其中光胸库蠓和渐灰库蠓的翅形变化最小,亲缘关系最近,而日本库蠓与其他5种库蠓的翅形变化最大,亲缘关系最远。初步证实了几何形态学能够做为一种辅助工具对蠓科昆虫进行种间关系及分类研究。

A phylogenetic study on galactose-containing Candida species based on 18S ribosomal DNA sequences

Phylogenetic relationships of 33 Candida species containing galactose in the cells were investigated by using 18S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis.

Analysis of human C8 with monoclonal antibodies. Characterization of a monoclonal antibody that recognizes free C8 alpha-gamma subunit

The eighth component of human C is essential for the formation of the membranolytic C attack complex. C8 has a unique structure in that two covalently linked chains, C8 alpha and C8 gamma, are associated non-covalently with the third chain, C8 beta. In order to study the structure and assembly of the C8 molecule, a panel of mAb has been produced against the C component C8. Eight of these mAb had reactivity to the C8 alpha-gamma subunit, whereas four reacted with C8 beta. One of the C8 alpha-gamma mAb, C8A2, had specificity for an epitope on the C8 alpha-chain and exhibited no cross-reactivity to any of the other terminal C components, including C8 beta. C8A2 inhibited the hemolytic activity of the C8 alpha-gamma subunit but had no effect on the activity of fluid phase whole C8 or C8 within membrane-bound C5b-8. Functional experiments suggest that C8A2 inhibits C8 alpha-gamma activity by interfering with its interaction with the C8 beta-chain. In an enzyme immunoassay using the C8A2 mAb, free C8 alpha-gamma subunit could be detected in both homozygous and heterozygous C8 beta-deficient serum. However, only low level binding was observed when homozygous C5- and C7-deficient sera were tested. Thus the mAb, C8A2, recognizes an epitope expressed on the C8 alpha-gamma subunit but not on intact C8 and can detect free C8 alpha-gamma in the presence of native C8.

The low C5 convertase activity of the C4A6 allotype of human complement component C4.

We have compared the C5-convertase-forming ability of different C4 allotypes, including the C4A6 allotype, which has low haemolytic activity and which has previously been shown to be defective in C5-convertase formation. Recent studies suggest that C4 plays two roles in the formation of the C5 convertase from the C3 convertase. Firstly, C4b acts as the binding site for C3 which, upon cleavage by C2, forms a covalent linkage with the C4b. Secondly, C4b with covalently attached C3b serves to form a high-affinity binding site for C5. Purified allotypes C4A3, C4B1 and C4A6 were used to compare these two activities of C4. Covalently linked C4b-C3b complexes were formed on sheep erythrocytes with similar efficiency by using C4A3 and C4B1, indicating that the two isotypes behave similarly as acceptors for covalent attachment of C3b. C4A6 showed normal efficiency in this function. However, cells bearing C4b-C3b complexes made from C4A6 contained only a small number of high-affinity binding sites for C5. Therefore a lack of binding of C5 to the C4b C3b complexes is the reason for the inefficient formation of C5 convertase by C4A6. The small number of high-affinity binding sites created, when C4A6 was used, were tested for inhibition by anti-C3 and anti-C4. Anti-C4 did not inhibit C5 binding, whereas anti-C3 did. This suggests that the sites created when C4A6 is used to make C3 convertase may be C3b-C3b dimers, and hence the low haemolytic activity of C4A6 results from the creation of low numbers of alternative-pathway C5-convertase sites.     

Human C4 haplotypes with duplicated C4A or C4B

In the course of study of families for the sixth chromosome markers HLA-A, C, B, D/DR, BF, and C2, the two loci for C4, C4A, and C4B, and glyoxalase I, we encountered five examples of probable duplication of one or the other of the two loci for C4. In one of these, both parents and one sib expressed two different structural genes for C4B, one sib expressed one, and one sib expressed none, suggesting that two C4B alleles were carried on a single haplotype: HLA-A2, B7, DR3, BFS1, C2C, C4A2, C4B1, C4B2, GLO1. In a second case, two siblings inherited C4B*1 and C4B*2 from one parent and C4B*Q0 from the other. This duplication appeared on the chromosome as HLA-AW33, B14, DR1, BFS, C2C, C4A2, C4B1, C4B2, GLO2. In a third, very large family with 3 generations, a duplication of the C4B locus occurred which was followed in 2 generations. In one individual, there were three C4B alleles and two C4A alleles. One of the C4B alleles had a hemolytically active product with electrophoretic mobility near C4B2 and was designated C4B*22. It segregated with C4B1 in the family studied. The complete haplotype was HLA-A11, CW1, BW56, DR5, BFS, C2C, C4A3, C4B22, C4B1, GLO2. In another family with 12 siblings, one parent and eight children expressed two C4A alleles on the haplotype HLA-AW30, BW38, DR1, BFF, C2C, C4A3, C4A2, C4BQ0, GLO1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Proximity of cytoplasmic and periplasmic loops in NhaA Na+/H+ antiporter of Escherichia coli as determined by site-directed thiol cross-linking

The unique trypsin cleavable site of NhaA, the Na(+)/H(+) antiporter of Escherichia coli, was exploited to detect a change in mobility of cross-linked products of NhaA by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Double-Cys replacements were introduced into loops, one on each side of the trypsin cleavage site (Lys 249). The proximity of paired Cys residues was assessed by disulfide cross-linking of the two tryptic fragments, using three homobifunctional cross-linking agents: 1,6-bis(maleimido)hexane (BMH), N,N'-o-phenylenedimaleimide (o-PDM), and N,N'-p-phenylenedimaleimide (p-PDM). The interloop cross-linking was found to be very specific, indicating that the loops are not merely random coils that interact randomly. In the periplasmic side of NhaA, two patterns of cross-linking are observed: (a) all three cross-linking reagents cross-link very efficiently between the double-Cys replacements A118C/S286C, N177C/S352C, and H225C/S352C; (b) only BMH cross-links the double-Cys replacements A118C/S352C, N177C/S286C, and H225C/S286C. In the cytoplasmic side of NhaA, three patterns of cross-linking are observed: (a) all three cross-linking reagents cross-link very efficiently the pairs of Cys replacements L4C/E252C, S146C/L316C, S146C/R383C, and E241C/E252C; (b) BMH and p-PDM cross-link efficiently the pairs of Cys replacements S87C/E252C, S87C/L316C, and S146C/E252C; (c) none of the reagents cross-links the double-Cys replacements L4C/L316C, L4C/R383C, S87C/R383C, A202C/E252C, A202C/L316C, A202C/R383C, E241C/L316C, and E241C/R383C. The data reveal that the N-terminus and loop VIII-IX that have previously been shown to change conformation with pH are in close proximity within the NhaA protein. The data also suggest close proximity between N-terminal and C-terminal helices at both the cytoplasmic and the periplasmic face of NhaA.
