白念珠菌具有双形态性,即在一定条件下相互转换为酵母相和菌丝相。调节双形态性的主要信号通路有Cph1调节的MAPK途径,Efg1调节的c AMP/PKA途径,Tup1介导的抑制途径,Rim101调节的pH反应通路等。这些通路控制着菌丝特异基因的表达,许多菌丝特异基因编码白念珠菌的毒力因子,因此菌丝相的致病性更强。  相似文献

白念珠菌是人体重要的条件性致病真菌。形态的多样性和可塑性是白念珠菌典型的生物学特征,这与它的致病性、宿主适应能力以及有性生殖过程密切相关。白念珠菌生物被膜(Biofilm)是由不同形态细胞(包括酵母型、菌丝和假菌丝)以及胞外基质组成的致密结构,也是毒性和耐药性形成的重要因子。生物被膜对抗真菌药物、宿主免疫系统和环境胁迫因子等都表现出较强的抵抗力和耐受性,是临床上病原真菌感染防治的重大挑战。随着基因表达谱和遗传操作技术的发展,白念珠菌生物被膜的形成及其耐药性的获得所依赖的遗传调控通路和分子调控机制越来越清楚。主要包括MAPK和cAMP介导的信号途径以及Bcr1和Tec1等因子介导的转录调控。此外,白念珠菌生物被膜的形成与形态转换和有性生殖之间存在密切的联系。文中综述了白念珠菌生物被膜形成的遗传调控机制,重点介绍了细胞壁相关蛋白、转录因子和交配型对该过程的调控以及生物被膜的耐药机制。  相似文献

The ATP/ADP exchange is shown to be a partial reaction of the (H+ + K+)-ATPase by the absence of measurable nucleoside diphosphokinase activity and the insensitivity of the reaction to P1, P5 -di(adenosine-5′) pentaphosphate, a myokinase inhibitor. The exchange demonstrates an absolute requirement for Mg2+ and is optimal at an ADP/ATP ratio of 2. The high ATP concentration (K0.5 = 116 μM) required for maximal exchange is interpreted as evidence for the involvement of a low affinity form of nucleotide site. The ATP/ADP exchange is regarded as evidence for an ADP-sensitive form of the phosphoenzyme. In native enzyme, pre-steady state kinetics show that the formation of the phosphoenzyme is partially sensitive to ADP while modification of the enzyme by pretreatment with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) in the absence of Mg2+ results in a steady-state phosphoenzyme population, a component of which is ADP sensitive. The ATP/ADP exchange reaction can be either stimulated or inhibited by the presence of K+ as a function of pH and Mg2+.  相似文献

The parameters estimated from traditional A/C i curve analysis are dependent upon some underlying assumptions that substomatal CO2 concentration (C i) equals the chloroplast CO2 concentration (C c) and the C i value at which the A/C i curve switches between Rubisco- and electron transport-limited portions of the curve (C i-t) is set to a constant. However, the assumptions reduced the accuracy of parameter estimation significantly without taking the influence of C i-t value and mesophyll conductance (g m) on parameters into account. Based on the analysis of Larix gmelinii’s A/C i curves, it showed the C i-t value varied significantly, ranging from 24 Pa to 72 Pa and averaging 38 Pa. t-test demonstrated there were significant differences in parameters respectively estimated from A/C i and A/C c curve analysis (p<0.01). Compared with the maximum ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) carboxylation rate (Vcmax), the maximum electron transport rate (Jmax) and Jmax/Vcmax estimated from A/C c curve analysis which considers the effects of g m limit and simultaneously fits parameters with the whole A/C c curve, mean Vcmax estimated from A/C i curve analysis (Vcmax-C i) was underestimated by 37.49%; mean Jmax estimated from A/C i curve analysis (Jmax-C i) was overestimated by 17.8% and (Jmax-C i)/(Vcmax-C i) was overestimated by 24.2%. However, there was a significant linear relationship between Vcmax estimated from A/C i curve analysis and Vcmax estimated from A/C c curve analysis, so was it Jmax (p<0.05).  相似文献

Background  

Risk for complex disease is thought to be controlled by multiple genetic risk factors, each with small individual effects. Meta-analyses of several independent studies may be helpful to increase the ability to detect association when effect sizes are modest. Although many software options are available for meta-analysis of genetic case-control data, no currently available software implements the method described by Kazeem and Farrall (2005), which combines data from independent family-based and case-control studies.  相似文献

Purified cytochrome P450SCC from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria was incorporated into liposomes by the cholate-dilution method utilizing either dialysis or Sephadex gel filtration. Among synthetic phospholipids tested, dioleoylglycerophosphocholine showed the best stability during the incorporation of P450SCC into liposomes. A maximum amount of heme was incorporated into liposomes at a molar ratio of phospholipid to the cytochrome of approx. 200. When P450SCC was incorporated into the dioleoylglycerophosphocholine liposomes by the cholate-filtration method, the P450SCC-containing liposomes showed two major populations on the elution pattern of the Sepharose 4B gel filtration, and were seen at a diameter of 200–600 Å and its aggregated forms. When the cytochrome was incorporated into dioleoylglycerophosphocholine liposomes or cholesterol-free adrenocortical mitochondrial liposomes, P450SCC was less stable than P450SCC in aqueous solution. Cholesterol or adrenodoxin markedly stabilized the liposomal P450SCC. Liposomal P450SCC required cholesterol for its optimum reduction with adrenodoxin, adrenodoxin reductase, and NADPH in the presence of CO. About 70% of the total heme in the dioleoylglycerophosphocholine liposomes was reduced by the enzymatic reduction in the presence of cholesterol, indicating that 70% of the total molecules are exposed to the surface of the outer monolayer. In order to see the location of the heme in membrane, the dioleoylglycerophosphocholine-liposomal P450SCC was subjected to p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid treatment. This reagent destroyed the liposomal P450SCC. These results suggest that the heme is located in the proximity of the p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid reacting sites which are exposed to the surface, or located on the vincinity of polar heads of the membrane.  相似文献

Showdomycin inhibited pig brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase with pseudo first-order kinetics. The rate of inhibition by showdomycin was examined in the presence of 16 combinations of four ligands, i.e., Na+, K+, Mg2+ and ATP, and was found to depend on the ligands added. Combinations of ligands were divided into five groups in terms of the magnitude of the rate constant; in the order of decreasing rate constants these were: (1)Na+ + Mg2+ + ATP, (2) Mg2+, Mg2+ + K+, K+ and none, (3) Na+ + Mg2+, Na+, K+ + Na+ and Na+ + K+ + Mg2+, (4) Mg2+ + K+ + ATP, K+ + ATP and Mg2+ + ATP, (5)K+ + Na+ + ATP, Na+ + ATP, Na+ + ATP, Na+ + K+ + Mg2+ + ATP and ATP. The highest rate was obtained in the presence of Na+, Mg2+ and ATP. The apparent concentrations of Na+, Mg2+ and ATP for half-maximum stimulation of inhibition (K0.5s) were 3 mM, 0.13 mM and 4μM, respectively. The rate was unchanged upon further increase in Na+ concentration from 140 to 1000 mM. The rates of inhibition could be explained on the basis of the enzyme forms present, including E1, E2, ES, E1-P and E2-P, i.e., E2 has higher reactivity with showdomycin than E1, while E2-P has almost the same reactivity as E1-P. We conclude that the reaction of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase proceeds via at least four kinds of enzyme form (E1, E2, E1 · nucleotide and EP), which all have different conformations.  相似文献

One of the ninhydrin-negative alanine conjugates isolated from pea seedlings was identified as N-malonyl-D-alanine.The identification of this conjugate was carried out by a comparison of its gas-liquid chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties, and its nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectra with those of synthetic N-malonyl-D-alanine. The alanine in the conjugate was shown to be present as the D-isomer by enzymatic and chromatographic analyses.  相似文献

The partial purification of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from pig lens has been achieved by treatment with deoxycholate followed by density gradient centrifugation. The specific activity of the final preparation, ranging from 300 to 500 nmol/h per mg protein, is increased approx. 100-fold compared to the homogenate. A parallel increase in p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity is also observed. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis reveals six major protein bands, one of which is the 93 kDa α subunit of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase which can be phosphorylated by reaction with [γ-32P]ATP. A second band contains a glycoprotein which displays an apparent molecular weight of 51 000 and thus appears to be the β subunit of the enzyme. The enzyme is sensitive to ouabain with the I50 for (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase inhibition being 1.2 and 1.3 μM, respectively. Several agents which inhibit Na+ + K+)-ATPase from other tissues such as oligomycin, Ca2+, vanadate, N-ethylmaleimide, p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS) and 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) also inhibit the lens enzyme. Monovalent cations other than K+ are partially effective in activating the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities. The K+ congeners were relatively more effective in supporting (Na+ + K+)-ATPase compared to p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity. Other kinetic properties of the lens enzyme are also comparable to those of the enzyme from other tissues. Utilizing the partially purified membrane bound enzyme, discontinuities in Arrhenius plots of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity and fluoresence polarization of the fluidity probe, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH), are observed near the physiological temperature of lens. The possible significance of these observations for the mechanism of cataract formation are discussed.  相似文献

The modulating effect of membrane lipids on enzyme function has been described by several investigators. We have used the spin probe N-oxyl-4′,4′-dimethyloxazolidine-12-keto methyl stearate (M 12-NSE) to study this interaction in ox brain membranes enriched with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. This methyl ester of stearic acid is practically insoluble in aqueous media, and consequently spectra of M 12-NSE-labelled preparations are free of “liquid lines”.At least two types of spectra may be obtained when ox brain microsomes are spin labelled with M 12-NSE, indicating the presence of two distinct binding sites. At one site the spin label is relatively unrestricted and gives rise to an isotropic spectrum. A second spectrum, which is obtained from spin label at another site, is similar to that which is observed after incorporation of M 12-NSE into phospholipid bilayers. This suggests that this latter site is within the core of the microsomal membrane.The two binding sites differ in their affinity for the spin probe. The low affinity site is both more abundant in crude preparations and is more easily removed by detergent treatment; spin labels at this site produce isotropic spectra. The high affinity sites are fewer in number and produce broad spectra. In addition these high affinity sites increase in concentration as the enzyme undergoes purification.The two sites are quite distinct in their sensitivity to ascorbic acid, the low affinity site showing a considerably greater rate of reduction by this agent.This study also demonstrates that the delipidation effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium deoxycholate on (Na+ + K+)-ATPase-enriched microsomes from ox brain are not identical.It is suggested that the two spin probe binding sites represent two different lipid domains, one of which is very closely associated with the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase enzyme and may reflect a protein-directed phospholipid specificity for this enzyme.  相似文献
