Streptomyces coelicolor genome carries two apparently paralogous genes, SCO4164 and SCO5854, that encode putative thiosulfate sulfurtransferases (rhodaneses). These genes (and their presumed translation products) are highly conserved and widely distributed across actinobacterial genomes. The SCO4164 knockout strain was unable to grow on minimal media with either sulfate or sulfite as the sole sulfur source. The SCO5854 mutant had no growth defects in the presence of various sulfur sources; however, it produced significantly less amounts of actinorhodin. Furthermore, we discuss possible links between basic interconversions of inorganic sulfur species and secondary metabolism in S. coelicolor. 相似文献

AbstractIn this article, the derivatives of 3-quinoline carboxylic acid were studied as inhibitors of protein kinase CK2. Forty-three new compounds were synthesized. Among them 22 compounds inhibiting CK2 with IC50 in the range from 0.65 to 18.2?μM were identified. The most active inhibitors were found among tetrazolo-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid and 2-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives. 相似文献

Replacement of aspartate residue 541 by alanine (D541A) in the pore of TRPV6 channels in mice disrupts Ca(2+) absorption by the epididymal epithelium, resulting in abnormally high Ca(2+) concentrations in epididymal luminal fluid and in a dramatic but incomplete loss of sperm motility and fertilization capacity, raising the possibility of residual activity of channels formed by TRPV6(D541A) proteins (Weissgerber, P., Kriebs, U., Tsvilovskyy, V., Olausson, J., Kretz, O., Stoerger, C., Vennekens, R., Wissenbach, U., Middendorff, R., Flockerzi, V., and Freichel, M. (2011) Sci. Signal. 4, ra27). It is known from other cation channels that introducing pore mutations even if they largely affect their conductivity and permeability can evoke considerably different phenotypes compared with the deletion of the corresponding protein. Therefore, we generated TRPV6-deficient mice (Trpv6(-/-)) by deleting exons encoding transmembrane domains with the pore-forming region and the complete cytosolic C terminus harboring binding sites for TRPV6-associated proteins that regulate its activity and plasma membrane anchoring. Using this strategy, we aimed to determine whether the TRPV6(D541A) pore mutant still contributes to residual channel activity and/or channel-independent functions in vivo. Trpv6(-/-) males reveal severe defects in fertility and motility and viability of sperm and a significant increase in epididymal luminal Ca(2+) concentration that is mirrored by a lack of Ca(2+) uptake by the epididymal epithelium. Therewith, Trpv6 excision affects epididymal Ca(2+) handling and male fertility to the same extent as the introduction of the D541A pore mutation, arguing against residual functions of the TRPV6(D541A) pore mutant in epididymal epithelial cells. 相似文献

Cell migration is crucial for wound healing, immune defense, or formation of tumor metastases. In addition to the cytoskeleton, Ca2+ sensitive K+ channels (IK1) are also part of the cellular "migration machinery." We showed that Ca2+ sensitive K+ channels support the retraction of the rear part of migrating MDCK-F cells by inducing a localized shrinkage at this cell pole. So far the molecular nature and in particular the subcellular distribution of these channels in MDCK-F cells is unknown. We compared the effect of IK1 channel blockers and activators on the current of a cloned IK1 channel from MDCK-F cells (cIK1) and the migratory behavior of these cells. Using IK1 channels labeled with a HA-tag or the enhanced green fluorescent protein we studied the subcellular distribution of the canine (cIK1) and the human (hIK1) channel protein in different migrating cells. The functional impact of cIK1 channel activity at the front or rear part of MDCK-F cells was assessed with a local superfusion technique and a detailed morphometric analysis. We show that it is cIK1 whose activity is required for migration of MDCK-F cells. IK1 channels are found in the entire plasma membrane, but they are concentrated at the cell front. This is in part due to membrane ruffling at this cell pole. However, there appears to be only little cIK1 channel activity at the front of MDCK-F cells. In our view this apparent discrepancy can be explained by differential regulation of IK1 channels at the front and rear part of migrating cells. 相似文献

Altered DNA methylation has been linked to neoplastic cell transformation and is a hallmark of cancer progression. Therefore, the screening for differentially methylated sequences as tumor biomarkers has a significant implication in the clinical setting. To determine the cancer-linked alterations in DNA methylation pattern, we have applied an endonuclease, McrBC, to the existing methylation-sensitive arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (msAP-PCR) method and developed McrBC-msAP-PCR. This modified approach allows detection of differentially methylated sites within unmethylated DNA domains enriched by regulatory sequences and CpG islands. In this method, we used digestion of DNA with the McrBC methylation-sensitive endonuclease to selectively exclude the methylated fraction of DNA, which comprises interspersed and tandem-repeated sequences and exons other than first exons, from analysis. The subsequent digestion of unmethylated DNA fragments with SmaI and HpaII methylation-sensitive restriction endonucleases followed by AP-PCR amplification resulted in the detection of unknown unique sequences associated with cancer-linked methylation changes in genomic DNA. Hypermethylation and hypomethylation are visualized by the increase or decrease in the band intensity of DNA fingerprints. By using this technique, we were able to differentiate clearly, identify, and characterize a number of novel unique DNA sequences with differentially methylated sites in normal and breast cancer cell lines and in normal and rat tumor liver tissues. 相似文献

K+ channels are widely expressed in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, where one of their key functions is to set the membrane potential. Many K+ channels are tetramers that share common architectural properties. The crystal structure of bacterial and mammalian K+ channels has been resolved and provides the basis for modeling their three-dimensional structure in different functional states. This wealth of information on K+ channel structure contrasts with the difficulties to visualize single K+ channel proteins in their physiological environment. We describe a method to identify single Ca2+-activated K+ channel molecules in the plasma membrane of migrating cells. Our method is based on dual-color labeling with quantum dots. We show that >90% of the observed quantum dots correspond to single K+ channel proteins. We anticipate that our method can be adopted to label any other ion channel in the plasma membrane on the single molecule level. Ca2+-activated K+ channel; migration 相似文献

The circadian input kinase A (cikA) gene encodes a protein relaying environmental signal to the central circadian oscillator in cyanobacteria. The CikA protein
has a variable architecture and usually consists of four tandemly arrayed domains: GAF, histidine kinase (HisKA), histidine
kinase-like ATPase (HATPase_c), and a pseudo-receiver (REC). Among them, HisKA and HATPase_c are the least polymorphic, and
REC is not present in heterocystic filamentous cyanobacteria. CikA contains several conserved motifs that are likely important
for circadian function. There are at least three types of circadian systems, each of which possesses a different set of circadian
genes. The originally described circadian system (kaiABC system) possesses both cikA and kaiA, while the others lack either only cikA (kaiABC
Δ) or both (kaiBC). The results we obtained allowed us to approximate the time of the cikA origin to be about 2600–2200 MYA and the time of its loss in the species with the kaiABC
Δ or kaiBC system between 1100 and 600 MYA. Circadian specialization of CikA, as opposed to its non-circadian homologs, is a result
of several factors, including the unique conserved domain architecture and high evolutionary constraints of some domains and
regions, which were previously identified as critical for the circadian function of the gene. 相似文献

Levels of lipid peroxides (LOOH), thiobarbituric-acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonyls and low- and high-molecular weight thiols were measured in brain, liver, kidney, and white muscle of goldfish, Carassius auratus L., over 1-12 h of high temperature (35 degrees C) exposure followed by 4 or 24 h of lower (21 degrees C) temperature recovery. LOOH and TBARS contents increased during heat shock exposure with a maximal rise of 20-fold for liver TBARS, but both mainly reversed at recovery. Protein carbonyl content was unaffected by heat shock but rose in brain, liver, and kidney during recovery. Low-molecular weight thiol concentrations unexpectedly increased up to approximately 4-fold in brain, kidney and muscle under heat shock and remained high during recovery. Protein thiol contents also rose in liver and muscle during high temperature exposure by 2- and 3-fold, respectively, and decreased to control values or below in all tissues at late recovery. Low- and high-molecular weight thiol levels inversely correlated in liver (R2=0.87) suggesting that the former was used to reduce the latter over the experiment. It is concluded that the redox balance in goldfish tissues is strictly maintained probably contributing to the high tolerance of this species to heat shock. 相似文献
