The catalytic domains of murine Golgi alpha1,2-mannosidases IA and IB that
are involved in N-glycan processing were expressed as secreted proteins in
P.pastoris . Recombinant mannosidases IA and IB both required divalent
cations for activity, were inhibited by deoxymannojirimycin and
kifunensine, and exhibited similar catalytic constants using
Manalpha1,2Manalpha-O-CH3as substrate. Mannosidase IA was purified as a 50
kDa catalytically active soluble fragment and shown to be an inverting
glycosidase. Recombinant mannosidases IA and IB were used to cleave
Man9GlcNAc and the isomers produced were identified by high performance
liquid chromatography and proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Man9GlcNAc was rapidly cleaved by both enzymes to Man6GlcNAc, followed by a
much slower conversion to Man5GlcNAc. The same isomers of Man7GlcNAc and
Man6GlcNAc were produced by both enzymes but different isomers of
Man8GlcNAc were formed. When Man8GlcNAc (Man8B isomer) was used as
substrate, rapid conversion to Man5GlcNAc was observed, and the same
oligosaccharide isomer intermediates were formed by both enzymes. These
results combined with proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy data
demonstrate that it is the terminal alpha1, 2-mannose residue missing in
the Man8B isomer that is cleaved from Man9GlcNAc at a much slower rate.
When rat liver endoplasmic reticulum membrane extracts were incubated with
Man9GlcNAc2, Man8GlcNAc2was the major product and Man8B was the major
isomer. In contrast, rat liver Golgi membranes rapidly cleaved
Man9GlcNAc2to Man6GlcNAc2and more slowly to Man5GlcNAc2. In this case all
three isomers of Man8GlcNAc2were formed as intermediates, but a distinctive
isomer, Man8A, was predominant. Antiserum to recombinant mannosidase IA
immunoprecipitated an enzyme from Golgi extracts with the same specificity
as recombinant mannosidase IA. These immunodepleted membranes were enriched
in a Man9GlcNAc2to Man8GlcNAc2- cleaving activity forming predominantly the
Man8B isomer. These results suggest that mannosidases IA and IB in Golgi
membranes prefer the Man8B isomer generated by a complementary mannosidase
that removes a single mannose from Man9GlcNAc2.

Sweat production is crucial for thermoregulation. However, sweating can be problematic for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI), as they display a blunting of sudomotor and vasomotor responses below the level of the injury. Sweat gland density and eccrine gland metabolism in SCI are not well understood. Consequently, this study examined sweat lactate (S-LA) (reflective of sweat gland metabolism), active sweat gland density (SGD), and sweat output per gland (S/G) in 7 SCI athletes and 8 able-bodied (AB) controls matched for arm ergometry VO2peak. A sweat collection device was positioned on the upper scapular and medial calf of each subject just prior to the beginning of the trial, with iodine sweat gland density patches positioned on the upper scapular and medial calf. Participants were tested on a ramp protocol (7 min per stage, 20 W increase per stage) in a common exercise environment (21±1°C, 45-65% relative humidity). An independent t-test revealed lower (p<0.05) SGD (upper scapular) for SCI (22.3 ±14.8 glands · cm−2) vs. AB. (41.0 ± 8.1 glands · cm−2). However, there was no significant difference for S/G between groups. S-LA was significantly greater (p<0.05) during the second exercise stage for SCI (11.5±10.9 mmol · l−1) vs. AB (26.8±11.07 mmol · l−1). These findings suggest that SCI athletes had less active sweat glands compared to the AB group, but the sweat response was similar (SLA, S/G) between AB and SCI athletes. The results suggest similar interglandular metabolic activity irrespective of overall sweat rate. 相似文献

We have used single‐particle reconstruction in cryo‐electron microscopy to determine a structure of the Thermus thermophilus ribosome in which the ternary complex of elongation factor Tu (EF‐Tu), tRNA and guanine nucleotide has been trapped on the ribosome using the antibiotic kirromycin. This represents the state in the decoding process just after codon recognition by tRNA and the resulting GTP hydrolysis by EF‐Tu, but before the release of EF‐Tu from the ribosome. Progress in sample purification and image processing made it possible to reach a resolution of 6.4 Å. Secondary structure elements in tRNA, EF‐Tu and the ribosome, and even GDP and kirromycin, could all be visualized directly. The structure reveals a complex conformational rearrangement of the tRNA in the A/T state and the interactions with the functionally important switch regions of EF‐Tu crucial to GTP hydrolysis. Thus, the structure provides insights into the molecular mechanism of signalling codon recognition from the decoding centre of the 30S subunit to the GTPase centre of EF‐Tu. 相似文献

Background
Pharmacological inhibition of endothelial arginase-II has been shown to improve endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) function and reduce atherogenesis in animal models. We investigated whether the endothelial arginase II is involved in inflammatory responses in endothelial cells.Methods
Human endothelial cells were isolated from umbilical veins and stimulated with TNFα (10 ng/ml) for 4 hours. Endothelial expression of the inflammatory molecules i.e. vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and E-selectin were assessed by immunoblotting.Results
The induction of the expression of endothelial VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin by TNFα was concentration-dependently reduced by incubation of the endothelial cells with the arginase inhibitor L-norvaline. However, inhibition of arginase by another arginase inhibitor S-(2-boronoethyl)-L-cysteine (BEC) had no effects. To confirm the role of arginase-II (the prominent isoform expressed in HUVECs) in the inflammatory responses, adenoviral mediated siRNA silencing of arginase-II knocked down the arginase II protein level, but did not inhibit the up-regulation of the adhesion molecules. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of L-norvaline was not reversed by the NOS inhibitor L-NAME and L-norvaline did not interfere with TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB, JNK, p38mapk, while it inhibited p70s6k (S6K1) activity. Silencing S6K1 prevented up-regulation of E-selectin, but not that of VCAM-1 or ICAM-1 induced by TNFα.Conclusion
The arginase inhibitor L-norvaline exhibits anti-inflammatory effects independently of inhibition of arginase in human endothelial cells. The anti-inflammatory properties of L-norvaline are partially attributable to its ability to inhibit S6K1. 相似文献48.

Internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) facilitate an alternative, end-independent pathway of translation initiation. A particular family of dicistroviral IRESs can assemble elongation-competent 80S ribosomal complexes in the absence of canonical initiation factors and initiator transfer RNA. We present here a cryo-EM reconstruction of a dicistroviral IRES bound to the 80S ribosome. The resolution of the cryo-EM reconstruction, in the subnanometer range, allowed the molecular structure of the complete IRES in its active, ribosome-bound state to be solved. The structure, harboring three pseudoknot-containing domains, each with a specific functional role, shows how defined elements of the IRES emerge from a compactly folded core and interact with the key ribosomal components that form the A, P and E sites, where tRNAs normally bind. Our results exemplify the molecular strategy for recruitment of an IRES and reveal the dynamic features necessary for internal initiation. 相似文献

Here we present for the first time a three-dimensional cryo-EM map of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae respiratory supercomplex composed of dimeric complex III flanked on each side by one monomeric complex IV. A precise fit of the existing atomic x-ray structures of complex III from yeast and complex IV from bovine heart into the cryo-EM map resulted in a pseudo-atomic model of the three-dimensional structure for the supercomplex. The distance between cytochrome c binding sites of complexes III and IV is about 6 nm, which supports proposed channeling of cytochrome c between the individual complexes. The opposing surfaces of complexes III and IV differ considerably from those reported for the bovine heart supercomplex as determined by cryo-EM. A closer association between the individual complex domains at the aqueous membrane interface and larger spaces between the membrane-embedded domains where lipid molecules may reside are also demonstrated. The supercomplex contains about 50 molecules of cardiolipin (CL) with a fatty acid composition identical to that of the inner membrane CL pool, consistent with CL-dependent stabilization of the supercomplex. 相似文献
