Cytochrome c oxidase preparations from bovine heart muscle contain 1 zinc per 2 irons. Metal contents of nine preparations determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) show that Cu, Fe and Zn are the only metals present in significant amounts with average Cu/Fe, Fe/Zn, and Cu/Zn atom ratios of 1.3, 2.1 and 2.8, respectively. Removal of adventitious copper results in a Cu:Fe:Zn stoichiometry of 2:2:1. The zinc is tightly bound. Dialysis against a solution of 1,10-phenanthroline at pH 7.4 or an acidic buffer (pH 4.4) does not remove Zn. Dialysis against 0.8 M KCN at pH 10 causes partial loss of both Cu and Zn. This is the first evidence for the presence of Zn in a cytochrome c oxidase. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of aluminum (Al) accumulation in the human aorta and cerebral arteries.
The Al contents in the aortae and in the cerebral arteries from 23 human subjects was determined by inductively coupled plasma
atomic emission spectrophotometry (ICP-AES). The subjects' age range was 45–99-yr-old; 15 of the subjects were males and 8
were females. Al was detected in twelve aortae and in six cerebral arteries, when the entire specimen was analyzed. Two specimens
where Al was found in the cerebral arteries contained no Al in the aorta. No relationship to the subject's sex was found.
When related to age, two groups were established. Group L (45–75 yr old) and group H (>75 yr old), which exhibited aortal
Al concentrations of 33.3 and 72.7%, respectively. When the aortic wall was dissected into the tunica intima, media, and adventitia,
Al was found mainly in the tunica media. In the aorta, significant relationships were found between Al and phosphorus (P)
levels (r=0.801,p<0.01) and between Al and calcium (Ca) (r=0.661,p<0.05). We have concluded that Al accumulation is age-dependent and that it occurs both in the aorta and in the cerebral artery.
In the aorta, accumulation occurs mainly in the tunica media. Both P and Ca appear to enhance aortal Al accumulation. 相似文献

Lipase L1 from Geobacillus stearothermophilus L1 contains an unusual extra domain, making a tight intramolecular interaction with the main catalytic domain through a Zn2+-binding coordination. To elucidate the role of the Zn2+, we disrupted the Zn2+-binding site by mutating the zinc-ligand residues (H87A, D61A/H87A, and D61A/H81A/H87A/D238A). The activity vs. temperature profiles of the mutant enzymes showed that the disruption of the Zn2+-binding site resulted in a notable decrease in the optimal temperature for maximal activity from 60 to 45-50 degrees C. The mutations also abolished the Zn2+-induced thermal stabilization. The wild-type enzyme revealed a 34.6-fold increase in stabilization with the addition of Zn2+ at 60 degrees C, whereas the mutant enzymes exhibited no response to Zn2+. Additional circular dichroism spectroscopy studies also confirmed the structural stabilizing role of Zn2+ on lipase L1 at elevated temperatures. 相似文献

Aspalathus linearis (Burm. F) Dahlg., Fabaceae is cultivated by small- and large-scale commercial farmers of the Cederberg and Bokkeveld Plateau in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, for the production of an herbal beverage called ‘rooibos’ or ‘rooibos tea’. Small-scale farmers also harvest A. linearis from the wild and market the tea as an organic and fair-trade certified product. However, little is known about the apparent ecotypes of wild A. linearis. We hypothesized that 1) rooibos ecotypes are ecologically distinct (occurring in different plant communities defined by environmental variables); 2) rooibos ecotypes are functionally distinct due to variance in water use efficiency; and 3) rooibos ecotypes are associated with threatened vegetation types/species, making populations of wild rooibos ecotypes worthy of conservation. Ecotypes of wild rooibos were identified based on plant habit and local knowledge. Plant communities were classified using Twinspan, environmental factors were tested as predictors of ecotype distribution and water use efficiency of ecotypes growing across a rainfall gradient was determined from foliar natural abundance of 13C. Wild rooibos was not generally associated with endangered vegetation types but was associated with plant species having endangered status. Wild rooibos occurred in four plant communities and comprised five wild rooibos ecotypes: shrub, tree, upright, salignus and prostrate types. Although some ecotypes clearly co-occurred, evidence is provided for habitat preference between the ecotypes: Prostrate and upright ecotypes occurred at higher elevations (> 400-600 m). Shrub ecotypes occurred at lower rainfall sites (< 200 mm p.a.) and the salignus ecotype occurred at higher rainfall sites (> 500 mm p.a.). Foliar 13C indicated greater water use efficiencies by ecotypes in relatively drier areas. The extent to which this is a plastic or inherent response requires further investigation. Considering that wild rooibos ecotypes differ both ecologically and possibly also functionally and genetically, it is concluded that populations of wild rooibos ecotypes should be considered as distinct and worthy of conservation. This distinctness should be considered when farmers apply for both harvesting and ploughing rights on land with wild rooibos ecotypes. 相似文献

We describe daylight responsive silver (Ag) doped semiconductor nanoparticles of zinc oxide (DSNs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) against Leishmania. The developed materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Rutherford backscattering (RBS), diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and band-gap analysis. The Ag doped semiconductor nanoparticles of zinc oxide were PEGylated to enhance their biocompatibility. The DSNs demonstrated effective daylight response in the PDT of Leishmania protozoans, through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with a quantum yield of 0.13 by nondoped zinc oxide nanoparticles (NDSN) whereas 0.28 by DSNs. None of the nanoparticles have shown any antileishmanial activity in dark, confirming that only ROS produced in the daylight were involved in the killing of leishmanial cells. Furthermore, the synthesized nanoparticles were found biocompatible. Using reactive oxygen species scavengers, cell death was attributable mainly to 77–83% singlet oxygen and 18–27% hydroxyl radical. The nanoparticles caused permeability of the cell membrane, leading to the death of parasites. Further, the uptake of nanoparticles by Leishmania cells was confirmed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). We believe that these DSNs are widely applicable for the PDT of leishmaniasis, cancers, and other infections due to daylight response. 相似文献

Distribution of heavy metals (Pb, Cu and Cd) in different size-fractionated sediment samples was studied using different analytical techniques such as flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Pb and Cu concentrations were found to have respective variations of 6.58% and 9.45% from FAAS, ICP-AES and DPASV analysis. Cadmium was detectable only by DPASV because of its lower abundance in different size fractions. The percentage distribution of total organic carbon (TOC) and heavy metals increased with decrease in particle size. Metal concentrations increase with increasing TOC content in different size-fractionated sediment samples studied. Although the smallest fractions (< 53 μm) of sediment contributed only 3.4–17.8%, they had the highest mean distribution factor of 1.08 for Pb, 1.04 for Cu and 1.06 for Cd, respectively. Pb, Cu and Cd were correlated positively with organic carbon content in the sediment samples. 相似文献

Some of the rare earth elements such as Sc are believed to be non-toxic and, at present, are widely utilized for the replacement
of toxic heavy metals in technological applications, but they are not entirely free of toxicity, with hidden potential health
risks. In this animal experiment, we report the urinary scandium (Sc) excretion rate and nephrotoxiciy in male Wistar rats.
For this purpose, the rats were given a single dose of a solution of scandium chloride by intraperitoneal injection. The Sc
excretion (U-Sc) was determined in 24-h urine samples by inductively coupled plasma–argon emission spectrometry along with
the Sc nephrotoxicity, urine volume (UV), creatinine (Crt), β-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG). A dose-dependent Sc excretion of 0.0063% (r = 0.97) via 24-h urine was confirmed. The administration of Sc induced a significant decrease of UV and Crt and a significant
increase of NAG and β2-MG. These results suggest that U-Sc can be a useful tool for monitoring Sc exposure. The formation
of Sc colloidal conjugates that deposit in glomeruli may be the cause of a reduction of the glomerular filtration rate. We
propose that the analytical method and results described in this study will be of great importance for future toxicological
studies on Sc exposure. 相似文献
