Salt-extractable proteins from the cell walls of immature and ripe strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Elsanta) fruit were separated using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Seven polypeptides (enzymes) were characterized from their N-terminal sequences: (1) glyceraldhyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12); (2) triose phosphate isomerase (TPI; EC 5.3.1.1); (3) mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH; EC 1.1.1.37); (4) NADH glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3); (5) chalcone synthase (ChS; EC 2.3.1.74); (6) mitochondrial citrate synthase (mCS; EC 4.1.3.7); and (7) UDP glucose:flavonoid 3- O -glucosyltransferase (UDPG:FGT; EC 2.4.1.91). The sequenced polypeptides identified only cytosolic proteins, two of which (ChS and UDPG:FGT) had already been identified as being up-regulated in ripening (strawberry) fruit and important contributors to ripe fruit character. Our focus was therefore diverted to the enzymes mMDH and mCS for further molecular characterization as potentially important determinants of fruit flavour via regulation of the sugar : acid balance. Citrate synthase (CS) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) enzyme activities increased substantially during ripening, as did citrate and malate contents. The increase in CS activity is supported by western blot analysis. One strawberry mCS ( Fa-mCS-I ) and two mMDH ( Fa-mMDH-I and -II ) cDNAs were cloned that were 77, 82 and 53% identical (respectively) to sequences from other plant sources. Northern analysis showed that CS and MDH expression did not correlate with enzyme activities and these findings are discussed. 相似文献

Fruit starch reserves can be an important contributor to the sugar content of some ripe fruit, and despite the relatively high financial premiums (compared to other fruit) commanded by ripe strawberries, neither their starch or sugar biochemistry has been examined in detail. This study assessed the rate of starch biosynthesis and breakdown in developing strawberry and sought to determine the temporal changes in the activities of selected enzymes known to be involved in sucrose-starch interconversions. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that starch levels appeared greatest in immature strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa , cv. Elsanta) at 7 days postanthesis, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of cells containing starch granules as ripening progressed. Levels of key enzymes of starch and sugar metabolism estimated using Western blotting and enzyme activity analysis showed that activities did not correlate with antigen levels. In particular, enzyme activity recovery experiments indicated that losses were due to non-proteinaceous inhibitors, and in particular protein binding: highlighting the potential for misinterpretation of enzyme activity data gathered from ripening (strawberry) fruit tissue extracts. Consequently, in vitro experiments using [U-14 C] glucose revealed that incorporation to starch is low (11%) at the earliest developmental stages when starch content is greatest. Starch synthesis rate then declines to non-detectable levels as fruit expand and ripen. These results show that starch accumulates extremely early in the fruit formation process and that starch degradation predominates during fruit growth and development. We estimate that breakdown of transient starch can contribute up to 3% of the sugar accumulated in ripe fruit. 相似文献

The Ginkgo biloba sporoderm, when examined with transmission and scanning electron microscopes, shows a sculpture and a texture which are very different from those observed in cycads.The ornamental units are “rugules” which are evenly disperesed over the pollen grain surface except on the germinal zones which is decorated with “verrucoïde” components mixed with a few ridges. (2) The exine is composed of a tripartite sexine, the middle zone of which is full of irregular pits, and of a thick and strongly lamellated nexine. 相似文献

Heterologous exchanges of the glycoprotein and the matrix protein in a Novirhabdovirus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) are two salmonid rhabdoviruses replicating at low temperatures (14 to 20 degrees C). Both viruses belong to the Novirhabdovirus genus, but they are only distantly related and do not cross antigenically. By using a recently developed reverse-genetic system based on IHNV (S. Biacchesi et al., J. Virol. 74:11247-11253, 2000), we investigated the ability to exchange IHNV glycoprotein G with that of VHSV. Thus, the IHNV genome was modified so that the VHSV G gene replaced the complete IHNV G gene. A recombinant virus expressing VHSV G instead of IHNV G, rIHNV-Gvhsv, was generated and was shown to replicate as well as the wild-type rIHNV in cell culture. This study was extended by exchanging IHNV G with that of a fish vesiculovirus able to replicate at high temperatures (up to 28 degrees C), the spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV). rIHNV-Gsvcv was successfully recovered; however, its growth was restricted to 14 to 20 degrees C. These results show the nonspecific sequence requirement for the insertion of heterologous glycoproteins into IHNV virions and also demonstrate that an IHNV protein other than the G protein is responsible for the low-temperature restriction on growth. To determine to what extent the matrix (M) protein interacts with G, a series of chimeric pIHNV constructs in which all or part of the M gene was replaced with the VHSV counterpart was engineered and used to recover the respective recombinant viruses. Despite the very low percentage (38%) of amino acid identity between the IHNV and VHSV matrix proteins, viable chimeric IHNVs, harboring either the matrix protein or both the glycoprotein and the matrix protein from VHSV, were recovered and propagated. Altogether, these data show the extreme flexibility of IHNV to accommodate heterologous structural proteins. 相似文献

A layer of clay interbedded in sandstone, which age is likely uppermost Albian, yielded a new deposit with amber and fossil plants in Charente-Maritime (south-west France). A survey of the arthropods found in amber, the xylologic and palynologic determinations and the sedimentologic study are in progress. We already have datas to propose a palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the coast of the northern Aquitain basin at the end of lower Cretaceous : an estuarine area under warm and wet climate. 相似文献

The activation of the nickel metalloenzyme urease is a complex process. In bacteria, several urease accessory proteins are essential for incorporation of nickel into the active centre of urease. Comparatively little is known about the activation process and the proteins involved in plants. We cloned five different cDNAs encoding isoforms of urease accessory protein G (ureG) in potato. The 5-coding region of these cDNAs is highly polymorphic within Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum, containing mainly a simple sequence repeat encoding histidine and aspartate. Mapping on an ultrahigh-density map of the potato genome and Southern blot analysis showed that the isoforms arise from allelic differences of a single-copy gene which was located on chromosome 2. Expression analysis at the mRNA and protein levels indicated the presence of ureG in almost all tissues examined, consistent with the ubiquitous expression of urease. An attempt to correlate urease activity with ureG expression levels in different tissues was made. Allelic copies of ureG were expressed in a tissue-specific manner. UreG from potato and the Klebsiella aerogenes urease operon defective in bacterial ureG were co-expressed in Escherichia coli. The plant gene complements the K. aerogenes ureG mutation, demonstrating that it encodes a urease accessory protein and indicating a structural conservation between the plant and the bacterial urease activation complexes. 相似文献

Sustainable aquaculture, which entails proportional replacement of fish-based feed sources by plant-based ingredients, is impeded by the poor growth response frequently seen in fish fed high levels of plant ingredients. This study explores the potential to improve, by means of early nutritional exposure, the growth of fish fed plant-based feed. Rainbow trout swim-up fry were fed for 3 weeks either a plant-based diet (diet V, V-fish) or a diet containing fishmeal and fish oil as protein and fat source (diet M, M-fish). After this 3-wk nutritional history period, all V- or M-fish received diet M for a 7-month intermediate growth phase. Both groups were then challenged by feeding diet V for 25 days during which voluntary feed intake, growth, and nutrient utilisation were monitored (V-challenge). Three isogenic rainbow trout lines were used for evaluating possible family effects. The results of the V-challenge showed a 42% higher growth rate (P = 0.002) and 30% higher feed intake (P = 0.005) in fish of nutritional history V compared to M (averaged over the three families). Besides the effects on feed intake, V-fish utilized diet V more efficiently than M-fish, as reflected by the on average 18% higher feed efficiency (P = 0.003). We noted a significant family effect for the above parameters (P<0.001), but the nutritional history effect was consistent for all three families (no interaction effect, P>0.05). In summary, our study shows that an early short-term exposure of rainbow trout fry to a plant-based diet improves acceptance and utilization of the same diet when given at later life stages. This positive response is encouraging as a potential strategy to improve the use of plant-based feed in fish, of interest in the field of fish farming and animal nutrition in general. Future work needs to determine the persistency of this positive early feeding effect and the underlying mechanisms. 相似文献

Terrestrial plant resources are increasingly used as substitutes for fish meal and fish oil in fish feed in order to reduce the reliance of aquaculture on marine fishery resources. Although many studies have been conducted to assess the effects of such nutritional transition, no whole breeding cycles of fish fed diets free from marine resources has been reported to date. We therefore studied the reproductive performance of trout after a complete cycle of breeding while consuming a diet totally devoid of marine ingredients and thus of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs) that play a major role in the formation of ova. Two groups of female rainbow trout were fed from first feeding either a commercial diet (C, marine and plant ingredients), or a 100% plant-based diet (V, blend of plant proteins and vegetable oils). Livers, viscera, carcasses and ova were sampled at spawning and analyzed for lipids and fatty acids. Although the V-diet was devoid of n-3 LC-PUFAs, significant amounts of EPA and DHA were found in livers and ova, demonstrating efficient bioconversion of linolenic acid and selective orientation towards the ova. Some ova were fertilized to assess the reproductive performance and offspring survival. We observed for the first time that trout fed a 100% plant-based diet over a 3-year breeding cycle were able to produce ova and viable alevins, although the ova were smaller. The survival of offspring from V-fed females was lower (-22%) at first spawning, but not at the second. Our study showed that, in addition to being able to grow on a plant-based diet, rainbow trout reared entirely on such a diet can successfully produce ova in which neo-synthesized n-3 LC-PUFAs are accumulated, leading to viable offspring. However, further adjustment of the feed formula is still needed to optimize reproductive performance. 相似文献
