The hypothesis that the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodospirillumrubrum, may synthesize polyphosphate using pyrophosphate asa precursor has been tested. The cells were cultured in thepyrophosphate media, and the cell yield, cell shape, and thepolyphosphate content were determined and compared with thatgrown in the orthophosphate media. In the control experiment, the total amount of polyphosphateformed by the cultures grown in the pyrophosphate media wasfound to be up to 70% less than that grown in orthophosphatemedia. When the ATP formation was blocked by using the phosphorylationinhibitor, antimycin A, however, the cells grown in the pyrophosphatemedia formed up to 50% more polyphosphate than that grown inthe orthophosphate media. The results seem to support the hypothesis that Rhodospirillumrubrum may use pyrophosphate as the precursor of polyphosphate. (Received May 26, 1986; Accepted February 21, 1987) 相似文献

Increasing evidence shows that hearing loss is a risk factor for tinnitus and hyperacusis. Although both often coincide, a causal relationship between tinnitus and hyperacusis has not been shown. Currently, tinnitus and hyperacusis are assumed to be caused by elevated responsiveness in subcortical circuits. We examined both the impact of different degrees of cochlear damage and the influence of stress priming on tinnitus induction. We used (1) a behavioral animal model for tinnitus designed to minimize stress, (2) ribbon synapses in inner hair cells (IHCs) as a measure for deafferentation, (3) the integrity of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) to detect differences in stimulus-evoked neuronal activity, (4) the expression of the activity-regulated cytoskeletal protein, Arc, to identify long-lasting changes in network activity within the basolateral amygdala (BLA), hippocampal CA1, and auditory cortex (AC), and (5) stress priming to investigate the influence of corticosteroid on trauma-induced brain responses. We observed that IHC ribbon loss (deafferentation) leads to tinnitus when ABR functions remain reduced and Arc is not mobilized in the hippocampal CA1 and AC. If, however, ABR waves are functionally restored and Arc is mobilized, tinnitus does not occur. Both central response patterns were found to be independent of a profound threshold loss and could be shifted by the corticosterone level at the time of trauma. We, therefore, discuss the findings in the context of a history of stress that can trigger either an adaptive or nonadaptive brain response following injury. 相似文献

A new bifunctional ligand C-DEPA was designed and synthesized as a component for antibody-targeted radiation therapy (radioimmunotherapy, RIT) of cancer. C-DEPA was conjugated to a tumor targeting antibody, trastuzumab, and the corresponding C-DEPA-trastuzumab conjugate was evaluated for radiolabeling kinetics with 205/6Bi. C-DEPA-trastuzumab conjugate rapidly bound 205/6Bi, and 205/6Bi-C-DEPA-trastuzumab conjugate was stable in human serum for 72 h. The in vitro radiolabeling kinetics and serum stability data suggest that C-DEPA is a potential chelate for preclinical RIT applications using 212Bi and 213Bi. 相似文献

Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), an isoprenoid compound, is an anti-ulcer drug developed in Japan. In our previous study, GGA was shown to inhibit ovarian cancer invasion by attenuating Rho activation [K. Hashimoto, K. Morishige, K. Sawada, M. Tahara, S. Shimizu, M. Sakata, K. Tasaka, Y. Murata, Geranylgeranylacetone inhibits lysophosphatidic acid-induced invasion of human ovarian carcinoma cells in vitro. Cancer 103 (2005) 1529-1536.]. In the present study, GGA treatment inhibited ovarian cancer progression in vitro and suppressed the tumor growth and ascites in the in vivo ovarian cancer model. In vitro analysis, treatment of cancer cells by GGA resulted in the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, the inactivation of Ras, and the suppression of tyrosine phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). In conclusion, this is the first report that GGA inhibited ovarian cancer progression and the anti-tumor effect by GGA is, at least in part, derived not only from the suppression of Rho activation but also Ras-MAPK activation. 相似文献

Peptidyl-prolyl isomerase-like 1(PPIL1) is associated with the human spliceosome complex. However, its function in pre-mRNA splicing remains unclear. In this study, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana CYCLOPHILIN 18-2(AtCYP18-2), a PPIL1 homolog,plays an essential role in heat tolerance by regulating pre-mRNA splicing. Under heat stress conditions,AtCYP18-2 expression was upregulated in mature plants and GFP-tagged AtCYP18-2 redistributed to nuclear and cytoplasmic puncta. We determined that AtCYP... 相似文献

A-kinase anchoring protein 12 (AKAP12) is known to function as a scaffold protein and as a putative tumor suppressor. However, little is known about the biological role of AKAP12 in hepatic cells. In this study, we performed micro-array analysis to identify the downstream pathway of AKAP12A, and found that AKAP12A overexpression up-regulates the expressions of several cholesterol-associated genes including HMG-CoA reductase and LDL receptor, which have been reported to be controlled by sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2). It was found that AKAP12A activates SREBP-2 in hepatic cells, as demonstrated by the presence of its cleavage product, whereas the activation of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 was not remarkably changed. Moreover, AKAP12A-induced SREBP-2 activation was found to depend on SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), as inhibition of SCAP by RNAi or sterols blocked SREBP-2 activation in response to AKAP12A overexpression. Interestingly, the hydrophobic amine U18666A caused dramatic movement of AKAP12A from the plasma membrane to cytosol and lysosomal membranes. Moreover, cholesterol depletion from the plasma membrane (using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin) caused a shift of AKAP12A from the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm. Cholesterol binding assay revealed that the N-terminal region of AKAP12A binds directly to cholesterol in vitro. Furthermore, AKAP12A overexpression enhanced [3H]-cholesterol efflux to extracellular acceptors, suggesting that AKAP12A may activate SREBP-2 by increasing cholesterol efflux. In conclusion, the present study suggests that AKAP12A is a novel regulator of cellular cholesterol metabolism. 相似文献
