Background
Pairing of homologous chromosomes at meiosis is an important requirement for recombination and balanced chromosome segregation among the products of meiotic division. Recombination is initiated by double strand breaks (DSBs) made by Spo11 followed by interaction of DSB sites with a homologous chromosome. This interaction requires the strand exchange proteins Rad51 and Dmc1 that bind to single stranded regions created by resection of ends at the site of DSBs and promote interactions with uncut DNA on the homologous partner. Recombination is also considered to be dependent on factors that stabilize interactions between homologous chromosomes. In budding yeast Hop2 and Mnd1 act as a complex to promote homologous pairing and recombination in conjunction with Rad51 and Dmc1. 相似文献52.

Iron efflux in mammalian cells is mediated by the ferrous iron exporter ferroportin (Fpn); Fpn plasma membrane localization and function are supported by a multicopper ferroxidase and/or the soluble amyloid precursor protein (sAPP). Fpn and APP are ubiquitously expressed in all cell types in the central nervous system including neurons. In contrast, neuronal ferroxidase(s) expression has not been well characterized. Using primary cultures of hippocampal neurons, we examined the molecular mechanism of neuronal Fe efflux in detail. Developmental increases of Fpn, APP, and the ferroxidase hephaestin (Hp) were observed in hippocampal neurons. Iron efflux in these neurons depended on the level of Fpn localized at the cell surface; as noted, Fpn stability is supported by ferroxidase activity, an enzymatic activity that is required for Fe efflux. Iron accumulation increases and iron efflux decreases in Hp knockout neurons. In contrast, suppression of endogenous APP by RNAi knockdown does not affect surface Fpn stability or Fe efflux. These data support the model that the neuronal ferroxidase Hp plays a unique role in support of Fpn-mediated Fe efflux in primary hippocampal neurons. Our data also demonstrate that Hp ferroxidase activity relies on copper bioavailability, which suggests neuronal iron homeostasis will be modulated by cellular copper status. 相似文献

Growth, mortality, recruitment and relative yield per recruit of Sarotherodon galilaeus galilaeus from Lakes Doukon and Togbadji were studied. Data on total length, total weight and sex were recorded on a monthly basis between January and December 2013 for S. g. galilaeus captured by local fishers. The estimated asymptotic lengths L∞ were 26.2 and 23.6?cm for Lakes Doukon and Togbadji, respectively, while the growth rate K was 0.73 in Lake Doukon and 0.87 in Lake Togbadji. Estimates of fishing mortality, 0.27 and 0.47 y?1 for Doukon and Togbadji, respectively, were low relative to natural mortality, 1.51 and 1.74 y?1, respectively. Sizes at first sexual maturity were 12.8 and 13.2?cm for females and males, respectively, in Lake Doukon, and 11.5 and 12.4?cm for females and males, respectively, in Lake Togbadji. The size at first capture was estimated at 13.3 and 12.7?cm for Lakes Doukon and Togbadji, respectively, which, in the light of the size at maturity estimates, indicates that fish spawn at least once before capture. The current exploitation rates of 0.15 for Lake Doukon and 0.21 for Lake Togbadji suggest that their stocks of S. g. galilaeus are not overexploited in either lake. 相似文献

Myosin II disassembly in Dictyostelium discoideum is regulated by three structurally related myosin heavy chain kinases (myosin II heavy chain kinase A [MHCK-A], -B, and -C). We show that the WD repeat domain of MHCK-C is unique in that it mediates both substrate targeting and subcellular localization, revealing a target for regulation that is distinct from those of the other MHCKs.The ability of a cell to undergo highly specific modifications in shape during processes such as cytokinesis, cell migration, cell adhesion, and receptor capping is dependent, in large part, on the proper control of where and when myosin II contracts actin filaments in the cell (3, 4). In Dictyostelium discoideum, myosin II filament disassembly is regulated by at least three myosin II heavy chain kinases (myosin II heavy chain kinase A [MHCK-A], MHCK-B, and MHCK-C). The Dictyostelium MHCKs possess alpha kinase domains and carboxyl-terminal WD repeat domains (11, 13, 17). The WD repeat domains of MHCK-A and MHCK-B facilitate myosin II heavy chain phosphorylation by these kinases by binding directly to myosin II filaments (14, 15). However, the WD repeat domains play no detectable role in determining the subcellular localization of these kinases. Similar functions for the WD repeat domain of MHCK-C have not been explored, and there is nothing known about the signaling events regulating MHCK-C localization and activity, thus limiting comparisons among the MHCKs that could ultimately reveal distinct functions and mechanisms of regulation for these seemingly redundant enzymes. 相似文献

Health organizations worldwide recommend that adults and children minimize intakes of excess energy and salty, sweet, and fatty foods (all of which are highly preferred tastes) and eat diets richer in whole grains, low- and non- fat dairy products, legumes, fish, lean meat, fruits, and vegetables (many of which taste bitter). Despite such recommendations and the well-established benefits of these foods to human health, adults are not complying, nor are their children. A primary reason for this difficulty is... 相似文献

Linking Ras to myosin function: RasGEF Q, a Dictyostelium exchange factor for RasB, affects myosin II functions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文

Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Q, a nucleotide exchange factor from Dictyostelium discoideum, is a 143-kD protein containing RasGEF domains and a DEP domain. We show that RasGEF Q can bind to F-actin, has the potential to form complexes with myosin heavy chain kinase (MHCK) A that contain active RasB, and is the predominant exchange factor for RasB. Overexpression of the RasGEF Q GEF domain activates RasB, causes enhanced recruitment of MHCK A to the cortex, and leads to cytokinesis defects in suspension, phenocopying cells expressing constitutively active RasB, and myosin-null mutants. RasGEF Q(-) mutants have defects in cell sorting and slug migration during later stages of development, in addition to cell polarity defects. Furthermore, RasGEF Q(-) mutants have increased levels of unphosphorylated myosin II, resulting in myosin II overassembly. Collectively, our results suggest that starvation signals through RasGEF Q to activate RasB, which then regulates processes requiring myosin II. 相似文献

Reference concentrations of cholecalciferol in animals: a basis for establishing non-target exposure
AAC Fairweather CT Eason PA Elder CMF Eason D Arthur 《New Zealand journal of zoology.》2013,40(4):280-289
AbstractCholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is widely used as a vertebrate pesticide in New Zealand. However, cholecalciferol also occurs naturally in animals. Therefore, when trying to determine whether a non-target animal has been exposed to cholecalciferol baits, knowledge of the baseline cholecalciferol concentrations in the animal's plasma and tissue is required. We analysed cattle, sheep, pig, deer, dog and cat plasma and liver samples for the vitamin D3 metabolite 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OHD), a sensitive biomarker for cholecalciferol. Based on these data and a literature search we present 25-OHD reference ranges. We also examined the literature for 25-OHD concentrations in poisoned animals and compared these to the reference ranges. Where plasma and liver samples have 25-OHD concentrations at least four times higher than our reference ranges it is likely that the animal has been exposed to cholecalciferol baits. 25-OHD concentrations 10 times higher than the reference range indicate ingestion of abnormally high amounts of cholecalciferol. 相似文献
