Characteristics of 13 newly isolated thermophilic, anaerobic, and cellulolytic strains were compared with previously described
strains of Clostridium thermocellum: ATCC 27405 and JW20 (ATCC 31549). Colony morphology, antibiotic sensitivity, fermentation end-products, and cellulose degradation
were documented. All 13 strains were sensitive to erythromycin (5 μg/ml) and chloramphenicol (25 μg/ml), and all strains but
one were sensitive to kanamycin (20 μg/ml). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using primers based on gene sequences
from C. thermocellum ATCC 27405 was successful for all 13 strains in the case of the hydrogenase gene and 11 strains in the case of phosphotransacetylase/acetate
kinase genes. Ten strains amplified a product of the expected size with primers developed to be specific for C. thermocellum 16SrRNA primers. Two of the 13 strains did not amplify any product with the PCR primers designed for the phosphotransacetylase/acetate
kinase and 16SrRNA primers. A MboI-like GATC- recognizing restriction activity was present in all of the five strains examined. The results of this study have
several positive implications with respect to future development of a transformation system for cellulolytic thermophiles.

Molecular dynamics of synthetic leucine-serine ion channels in a phospholipid membrane 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Molecular dynamics calculations were carried out on models of two synthetic leucine-serine ion channels: a tetrameric bundle with sequence (LSLLLSL)(3)NH(2) and a hexameric bundle with sequence (LSSLLSL)(3)NH(2). Each protein bundle is inserted in a palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer membrane and solvated by simple point charge water molecules inside the pore and at both mouths. Both systems appear to be stable in the absence of an electric field during the 4 ns of molecular dynamics simulation. The water motion in the narrow pore of the four-helix bundle is highly restricted and may provide suitable conditions for proton transfer via a water wire mechanism. In the wider hexameric pore, the water diffuses much more slowly than in bulk but is still mobile. This, along with the dimensions of the pore, supports the observation that this peptide is selective for monovalent cations. Reasonable agreement of predicted conductances with experimentally determined values lends support to the validity of the simulations. 相似文献

Repellents used to reduce by-kill of birds during pest control must not compromise acceptance by target species. Two repellents combined, anthraquinone (AQ; 0.4 g kg?1) and d-pulegone (DP; 1.0) did not reduce the palatability of blue-coloured carrot baits to laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus); nor did DP (2.0). Green-coloured carrot baits coated with AQ, DP or AQ + DP were taken from bait stations by wild possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) and rats. Toxic (1080) bait coated with AQ (0.4) and peanut oil (0.1) had reduced palatability but was accepted by laboratory rats. However, laboratory rats did not consume enough baits coated with AQ and bacon, peanut butter, cinnamon or DP to be killed. Anthraquinone (0.4 or 0.8) plus cinnamon and DP (0.5) did not affect palatability or lethality to captive ship rats (R. rattus) or possums. Anthraquinone and DP as surface coatings on baits are therefore acceptable to possums and possibly rats, at concentrations that deter some bird species. 相似文献

A requirement for trypsin-sensitive cell-surface components for cell-cell interactions of embryonic neural retina cells 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
A quantitative assay was used to measure the rate of collection of a population of embryonic neural retina cells to the surface of cell aggregates. The rate of collection of freshly trysinized cells was limited in the initial stages by the rate of replacement of trypsin-sensitive cell- surface components. When cells were preincubated, or "recovered," and then added to cell aggregates, collection occurred at a linear rate and was independent of protein and glycoprotein synthesis. The adhesion of recovered cells was temperature and energy dependent, and was reversibly inhibited by cytochalasin B. Colchicine had little effect on collection of recovered cells. Antiserum directed against recovered cell membranes was shown to bind to recovered cells by indirect immunofluorescence. The antiserum also was shown to inhibit collection of recovered cells to aggregates, suggesting that at least some of the antigens identified might be involved in the adhesion process. The inhibitory effect of the antiserum was dose dependent . Freshly trypsinized cells absorbed neither the immunofluorescence activity nor the adhesion-inhibiting activity. Recovered cells absorbed away both activities. In specificity studies, dorsal neural retina cells adhered to aggregates of ventral optic tectum in preference to aggregates of dorsal optic tectum. The adhesive specificity of the dorsal retina cells was less sensitive to trypsin than the adhesive specificity of ventral retina cells which adhered preferentially to dorsal tectal aggregates only after a period of recovery. 相似文献

The ionotropic receptor of glutamate activated by N-methyl-D-aspartate (iGluR-NMDA) is a multiheteromeric complex constituted by at least three different types of subunits, encoded by seven different genes. The subunits of iGluR-NMDA have a complex system of regulation of their gene expression. Their expression is specific for each type of neural cell, as well as for the age of the organism. Moreover, there are reports that iGluR-NMDA expression is species-specific. Even though this macromolecular complex is very important in physiology and pathology of the central nervous system, knowledge to date about the regulatory elements controlling expression is scarce. We present the results of an in silico prediction of potential regulatory elements, some of which coincide with the few known experimentally. We also present the important differences regarding the presence and the localization of the regulatory elements among human, rat, and mouse species. 相似文献

The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR1 gene can produce eight isoforms in rat brain. A novel methodology for purifying
NMDA receptor NR1 subunit from rat brain is reported here using chicken polyclonal antibodies (IgYs) against synthetic peptides
corresponding to N1, C1 and C2′ cassettes. The isolated protein was recognized by produced IgYs and commercial anti-NR1 IgGs,
shown by MALDI-TOF MS a MW = 131,192 Da (glycosylated form); the enzymatically deglycosylated protein revealed a MW = 102,754 Da.
The NMDA receptor NR1 subunit was characterized as being a heavily N-glycosylated protein. The isoelectric point was determined
(6.3) as being different from that predicted for any of the isoforms (7.9–9.02). Attempts to separate the isoforms from the
purified NR1 were unsuccessful, indicating the presence of just one isoform (NR1111). Immunohistochemistry on hippocampus regions CA1, CA3 and Dentate gyrus with anti-N1, anti-N2 and anti-C2′ IgYs showed different
staining intensity, depending upon the antibody assayed. 相似文献
