Leaf, bark, xylem and root tissues were used to make nine cDNA libraries from non-stressed (control) 'Royal Gala' apple trees, and from 'Royal Gala' trees exposed to either low temperature (5 degrees C for 24 h) or water deficit (45% of saturated pot mass for 2 weeks). Over 22 600 clones from the nine libraries were subjected to 5' single-pass sequencing, clustered and annotated using blastx. The number of clusters in the libraries ranged from 170 to 1430. Regarding annotation of the sequences, blastx analysis indicated that within the libraries 65-72% of the clones had a high similarity to known function genes, 6-15% had no functional assignment and 15-26% were completely novel. The expressed sequence tags were combined into three classes (control, low-temperature and water deficit) and the annotated genes in each class were placed into 1 of 10 different functional categories. The percentage of genes falling into each category was then calculated. This analysis indicated a distinct downregulation of genes involved in general metabolism and photosynthesis, while a significant increase in defense/stress-related genes, protein metabolism and energy was observed. In particular, there was a three-fold increase in the number of stress genes observed in the water deficit libraries indicating a major shift in gene expression in response to a chronic stress. The number of stress genes in response to low temperature, although elevated, was much less than the water deficit libraries perhaps reflecting the shorter (24 h) exposure to stress. Genes with greater than five clones in any specific library were identified and, based on the number of clones obtained, the fold increase or decrease in expression in the libraries was calculated and verified by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction. Genes, of particular note, that code for the following proteins were overexpressed in the low-temperature libraries: dehydrin and metallothionein-like proteins, ubiquitin proteins, a dormancy-associated protein, a plasma membrane intrinsic protein and an RNA-binding protein. Genes that were upregulated in the water deficit libraries fell mainly into the functional categories of stress (heat shock proteins, dehydrins) and photosynthesis. With few exceptions, the overall differences in downregulated genes were nominal compared with differences in upregulated genes. The results of this apple study are similar to other global studies of plant response to stress but offer a more detailed analysis of specific tissue response (bark vs xylem vs leaf vs root) and a comparison between an acute stress (24-h exposure to low temperature) and a chronic stress (2 weeks of water deficit). 相似文献

Recently, mutations in the mitochondrial translation optimization factor 1 gene (MTO1) were identified as causative in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, lactic acidosis and respiratory chain defect. Here, we describe an MTO1-deficient mouse model generated by gene trap mutagenesis that mirrors the human phenotype remarkably well. As in patients, the most prominent signs and symptoms were cardiovascular and included bradycardia and cardiomyopathy. In addition, the mutant mice showed a marked worsening of arrhythmias during induction and reversal of anaesthesia. The detailed morphological and biochemical workup of murine hearts indicated that the myocardial damage was due to complex I deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction. In contrast, neurological examination was largely normal in Mto1-deficient mice. A translational consequence of this mouse model may be to caution against anaesthesia-related cardiac arrhythmias which may be fatal in patients. 相似文献

Candida albicans cells of opposite mating types are thought to conjugate during infection in mammalian hosts, but paradoxically, the mating-competent opaque state is not stable at mammalian body temperatures. We found that anaerobic conditions stabilize the opaque state at 37 degrees C, block production of farnesol, and permit in vitro mating at 37 degrees C at efficiencies of up to 84%. Aerobically, farnesol prevents mating because it kills the opaque cells necessary for mating, and as a corollary, farnesol production is turned off in opaque cells. These in vitro observations suggest that naturally anaerobic sites, such as the efficiently colonized gastrointestinal (GI) tract, could serve as niches for C. albicans mating. In a direct test of mating in the mouse GI tract, prototrophic cells were obtained from auxotrophic parent cells, confirming that mating will occur in this organ. These cells were true mating products because they were tetraploid, mononuclear, and prototrophic, and they contained the heterologous hisG marker from one of the parental strains. 相似文献

The carbonic anhydrases (CAs) constitute a family of almost ubiquitous enzymes of significant importance for many physiological
and pathological processes. CAs reversely catalyse the conversion of CO2 + H2O to HCO3
− and H+, thereby contributing to the regulation of intracellular pH. Above all, CAs are of key importance for cells that perform
glycolysis that inevitably leads to the intracellular accumulation of lactate. CA XII is a plasma membrane-associated isoform
of the enzyme, which is induced by hypoxia and oestrogen and, consequently, expressed at high levels on various types of cancer
and, intriguingly, on cancer stem cells. The enzyme is directly involved in tumour progression, and its inhibition has an
anti-tumour effect. Apart from its role in carcinogenesis, the enzyme contributes to various other diseases like glaucoma
and arteriosclerotic plaques, among others. CA XII is therefore regarded as promising target for specific therapies. We have
now generated the first monoclonal antibody (6A10) that binds to the catalytic domain of CA XII on vital tumour cells and
inhibits CA XII enzyme activity at nanomolar concentrations and thus much more effective than acetazolamide. In vitro results
demonstrate that inhibition of CA XII by 6A10 inhibits the growth of tumour cells in 3-dimensional structures. In conclusion,
we generated the first specific and efficient biological inhibitor of tumour-associated CA XII. This antibody may serve as
a valuable tool for in vivo diagnosis and adjuvant treatment of different types of cancer. 相似文献

Dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) is a widely used herbicide that is efficiently degraded by soil microbes. These microbes use a novel Rieske nonheme oxygenase, dicamba monooxygenase (DMO), to catalyze the oxidative demethylation of dicamba to 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid (DCSA) and formaldehyde. We have determined the crystal structures of DMO in the free state, bound to its substrate dicamba, and bound to the product DCSA at 2.10-1.75 Å resolution. The structures show that the DMO active site uses a combination of extensive hydrogen bonding and steric interactions to correctly orient chlorinated, ortho-substituted benzoic-acid-like substrates for catalysis. Unlike other Rieske aromatic oxygenases, DMO oxygenates the exocyclic methyl group, rather than the aromatic ring, of its substrate. This first crystal structure of a Rieske demethylase shows that the Rieske oxygenase structural scaffold can be co-opted to perform varied types of reactions on xenobiotic substrates. 相似文献

Macrophages from Tpl2 knockout (Tpl2(-/-)) mice exhibit a defect in ERK activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This impairs the nucleocytoplasmic transport of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA and prevents the induction of TNF-alpha by LPS. As a result, Tpl2(-/-) mice are resistant to LPS/D-galactosamine-induced shock. We demonstrate that Tpl2 is essential for ERK signals transduced by members of the TNF receptor superfamily, such as CD40 and the TNF receptor 1. Thus, ERK activation was impaired in Tpl2(-/-) B cells and macrophages stimulated with agonistic CD40 antibody or TNF-alpha, whereas the induction of other mitogen-activated protein kinases, such as JNK and p38, and the activation of NF-kappaB were unaffected. Tpl2 was recruited to a CD40/TRAF6 complex in response to CD40 stimulation. Moreover, TRAF6, which when overexpressed activates ERK, failed to do so in Tpl2(-/-) cells. The selective signaling defect resulting from the inactivation of Tpl2 allowed us to demonstrate that CD40-mediated ERK activation contributes to immunoglobulin production but is not essential for B-cell proliferation. 相似文献

Two isomeric cholesteryl galactosides, cholesteryl beta-D-galactofuranoside and -pyranoside, have been synthesized by the Koenigs-Knorr reaction. Glycosylation of cholesterol with 2,3,5,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-D-galactofuranosyl bromide, followed by Zemplén saponification with sodium methoxide, gave cholesteryl beta-D-galactofuranoside. By using 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-galactopyranosyl bromide as the glycosyl donor, followed by alkaline hydrolysis, cholesteryl beta-D-galactopyranoside was obtained. The title compounds were characterized by their IR spectra and by their (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra. Structure considerations of the two cholesteryl galactosides correlated with data in the literature, thus confirming that cholesteryl beta-D-galactopyranoside is an antigenic lipid of Lyme disease agent, Borrelia burgdorferi. 相似文献
