An alkaline calcium dependent trypsin from the viscera of Goby (Zosterisessor ophiocephalus) was purified to homogeneity with a 16-fold increase in specific activity and 20% recovery. The purified trypsin appeared as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) and native-PAGE. The enzyme had an estimated molecular weight of 23.2 kDa.The optimum pH was 9.0, and the enzyme was extremely stable in various pH buffers between pH 7.0 and 11.0. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity was 60 °C, and the activity and stability of trypsin was highly dependent on the presence of calcium ion. At 60 °C, Ca2+ (5 mM) stimulated the protease activity by 220%. The trypsin kinetic constants, Km and kcat, were 0.312 mM and 2.03 s?1.The enzyme showed high stability towards non-ionic surfactants and oxidizing agent. In addition, the enzyme showed excellent stability and compatibility with some commercial solid and liquid detergents. 相似文献

The demand for iron in leguminous plants increases during symbiosis, as the metal is utilised for the synthesis of various Fe-containing proteins in both plant and bacteroids. However, the acquisition of this micronutrient is problematic due to its low bioavailability at physiological pH under aerobic conditions. Induction of root Fe(III)-reductase activity is necessary for Fe uptake and can be coupled to the rhizosphere acidification capacity linked to the H+-ATPase activity. Fe uptake is related to the expression of a Fe2+ transporter (IRT1). In order to verify the possible role of nodules in the acquisition of Fe directly from the soil solution, the localization of H+-ATPase and IRT1 was carried out in common bean nodules by immuno-histochemical analysis. The results showed that these proteins were particularly abundant in the central nitrogen-fixing zone of nodules, around the periphery of infected and uninfected cells as well as in the vascular bundle of control nodules. Under Fe deficiency an over-accumulation of H+-ATPase and IRT1 proteins was observed especially around the cortex cells of nodules. The results obtained in this study suggest that the increase in these proteins is differentially localized in nodules of Fe-deficient plants when compared to the Fe-sufficient condition and cast new light on the possible involvement of nodules in the direct acquisition of Fe from the nutrient solution. 相似文献

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L., cultivar Genovese) plants were grown in Hoagland solution with or without 50 mM NaCl or 25 mM Na2SO4. After 15 days of treatment, Na2SO4 slowed growth of plants as indicated by root, stem and leaf dry weight, root length, shoot height and leaf area, and the
effects were major of those induced by NaCl. Photosynthetic response was decreased more by chloride salinity than by sulphate.
No effects in both treatments on leaf chlorophyll content, maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry (F
v/F
m) and electron transport rate (ETR) were recorded. Therefore, an excess of energy following the limitation to CO2 photoassimilation and a down regulation of PSII photochemistry was monitored under NaCl, which displays mechanisms that play
a role in avoiding PSII photodamage able to dissipate this excess energy. Ionic composition (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) was affected to the same extent under both types of salinity, thus together with an increase in leaves Cl−, and roots SO4
2− in NaCl and Na2SO4-treated plants, respectively, may have resulted in the observed growth retardation (for Na2SO4 treatment) and photosynthesis activity inhibition (for NaCl treatment), suggesting that those effects seem to have been due
to the anionic component of the salts. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the hydrolysis of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles (Chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoprotein). LPL polymorphisms' effects on lipids and coronary artery disease are controversial among studies and populations. Our aim was to study the association between six polymorphisms, haplotypes and significant coronary stenosis (SCS), disease severity and lipid parameters in Tunisian patients. LPL PvuII, 93 T/G, 188 G/E, HindIII, N291S and D9N polymorphisms were analyzed in 316 patients who underwent coronary angiography. Assessment of coronary angiograms identified SCS as the presence of stenosis >50?% in at least one major coronary artery. The stenosis severity was determined by using Gensini score and vessels number. A significant association of SCS with TT of the HindIII polymorphism was showed (odds ratio (OR): 2.84, 95?% CI, 1.19-7.40, p?=?0.017) and TG (OR: 1.77, 95?% CI, 1.99-2.82, p?=?0.033). The mutated HindIII genotype was significantly associated with increased TG and ApoB/ApoA-I ratio and with decreased HDL-C. Haplotype analysis showed that OR of SCS associated with the CTGTAG haplotype was 2.12 (95?% CI 1.05-4.25, p?=?0.032) and with CGGGAA was 0.71 (95?% CI 0.26-1.95, p?=?0.022) compared to the CTGTAA. Significant difference in Gensini score was observed among HindIII genotype and haplotypes. A significant association between the mutated genotype of HindIII polymorphism and decreased HDL-C level and increased ApoB/ApoA-I ratio and TG level was showed. Our results suggest that HindIII and D9N polymorphisms and CTGTAG haplotype seem to be considered as marker of predisposition to coronary stenosis. In another hand, HindIII and haplotypes were related to stenosis severity. 相似文献

Twenty epiphytic and rhizospheric bacterial strains harbouring strong antifungal activities were isolated from the Tunisian
environment. This group of bacteria was identified as Burkholderia cepacia genomovar I using 16S rDNA and recA fragment gene sequence analyses for two selected strains and RFLP technique for the eighteen other ones. This identification
did not show variability between isolates despite the significant differences in the antifungal activities of their culture
supernatant and the organic crude extract against Aspergillus niger and other phytopathogenic fungi. Chromatographic and mass spectrometric analyses of these extracts allowed us to confirm
the difference between strains of the group. Their metabolic production showed differences in term of contents and quantities
of secreted molecules, particularly those which were identified to be involved in the antifungal activities. Two metabolites,
named Bc-255 and Bc-257 secreted by the entire group at different amounts, have been purified and tested separately against
A. niger. Bc-255 showed an activity twice as high as those shown by Bc-257. The structural characterization of these two compounds
by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy allowed their identification as two analogous 2-alkylquinolones
with only one difference at the alkyl chain. 相似文献

This study aimed to determine the probiotic potential of 100 strains of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolated from different intestinal segments of indigenous poultry in Tunisia. The strains were submitted to a battery of standard tests and criteria commonly used for determining their probiotic properties and attributes. The findings revealed that 19 of the isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity against 4 pathogenic bacteria, and that 4 (TN1, TN8, TN7, and TN13) showed good resistance to pH 3 and 5% bovine bile. Three isolates, namely TN1, TN8, and TN13, showed sensitivity to several antibiotics and were, therefore, selected for further enzymatic activity assays. Two isolates, namely TN1 and TN8, showed high efficacy of adhesion to chicken enterocytes. The cytokines released after stimulation by the two isolates showed high anti-inflammatory profiles, with an increased rate of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) production for the TN8 strain. Showing the highest performance, TN8 was submitted to 16S rRNA gene sequencing, which revealed that the strain was of the species Lactobacillus plantarum. Overall, the findings indicate that the Lactobacilli from poultry intestine has a number of promising properties that make it candidate for application as a probiotic additive in poultry industry. 相似文献

The distribution, fine structure and function of the sensilla present on the antennal club of Rhynchophorus palmarum were studied. No sex dimorphism was observed. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy showed five types of hair-like structures, four of which were evenly distributed on the antennal club. Two types of hair (IV and V) showed wall pores, a characteristic of olfactory sensilla. The antenna numbers 11,190 +/- 3040 type IV and 7360 +/- 1500 type V hairs. Using single sensillum recording, we identified 17 types of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) on the basis of their responses to pheromone and host plant odors, triggering synergic behavioral responses. We characterized highly specific and sensitive ORNs tuned to the aggregation pheromone (18% ORNs; 0.01-1 ng response threshold) and to host plant odors such as ethyl acetate, ethanol, acetoin and guaiacol (10% ORNs; 1-10 ng response threshold). Eleven percent of the ORNs were more generalist, responding to several odors with low sensitivity. Nine percent of the ORNs showed a complex pattern of responses, being co-activated by the pheromone and plant odors. This suggests an interaction at the sensory neuron level between pheromone and plant odors, triggering synergic behavioral responses. 相似文献
