Large, rapidly evolving intergenic spacers in the mitochondrial DNA of the salamander family Ambystomatidae (Amphibia: Caudata) 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
We report the presence, in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of all of the
sexual species of the salamander family Ambystomatidae, of a shared 240- bp
intergenic spacer between tRNAThr and tRNAPro. We place the intergenic
spacer in context by presenting the sequence of 1,746 bp of mtDNA from
Ambystoma tigrinum tigrinum, describe the nucleotide composition of the
intergenic spacer in all of the species of Ambystomatidae, and compare it
to other coding and noncoding regions of Ambystoma and several other
vertebrate mtDNAs. The nucleotide substitution rate of the intergenic
spacer is approximately three times faster than the substitution rate of
the control region, as shown by comparisons among six Ambystoma
macrodactylum sequences and eight members of the Ambystoma tigrinum
complex. We also found additional inserts within the intergenic spacers of
five species that varied from 87-444 bp in length. The presence of the
intergenic spacer in all sexual species of Ambystomatidae suggests that it
arose at least 20 MYA and has been a stable component of the ambystomatid
mtDNA ever since. As such, it represents one of the few examples of a large
and persistent intergenic spacer in the mtDNA of any vertebrate clade.

A simple, fast and sensitive method was developed to verify the presence of
the sialyl Lewis(x) antigen on an N-linked glycoprotein. High performance
liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI/MS) was used
to identify which of the five N-linked glycosylation sites of human plasma
alpha1-acid-glycoprotein (orosomucoid, OMD) contain the sialyl Lewis(x)
antigen. OMD was digested with proteolytic enzymes and analyzed by reversed
phase chromatography coupled with on-line ESI/MS. A tandem mass
spectrometry experiment was designed to detect the presence of the sialyl
Lewis(x) antigen based on the observation of an 803 mass to charge ratio (
m/z ) ion produced in the intermediate pressure region of the ESI
interface. The ESI/MS signal at m/z 803 is consistent with an oxonium ion
for a glycan structure containing NeuAc, Gal, GlcNAc, and Fuc. The identity
of the m/z 803 ion was confirmed by ESI/MS/MS analysis of the m/z 803
fragment ion and comparison with a sialyl Lewis(x) standard. The
stereochemistry and linkage positions were assigned using previous NMR
analysis but could be determined with permethylation analysis if necessary.
The analysis of OMD gave a pattern showing signal for the sialyl Lewis(x)
antigen coeluting with each of the five N-linked glycopeptides. The ability
to monitor sialyl Lewis(x) expression at each of the five sites is of
interest in the study of OMD's role in inflammatory diseases.

Evaluation of protein extraction methods for Vitis vinifera leaf and root proteome analysis by two-dimensional electrophoresis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An efficient protein extraction method is crucial to ensure successful separation by two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE)for recalcitrant plant species, in particular for grapevine(Vitis vinifera L.). Trichloroacetic acid-acetone(TCA-acetone)and phenol extraction methods were evaluated for proteome analysis of leaves and roots from the Tunisian cultivar 'Razegui'. The phenol-based protocol proved to give a higher protein yield,a greater spot resolution, and a minimal streaking on 2-DE gels for both leaf and root tissues compared with the TCA-based protocol. Furthermore, the highest numbers of detected proteins on 2-DE gels were observed using the phenol extraction from leaves and roots as compared with TCA-acetone extraction. 相似文献

To characterize Aspergillus section Nigri strains involved in the ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination of Tunisian wine and table grapes, a total of 33 strains were analysed. A molecular characterization of the isolates was performed by the amplification of internal transcribed spacer (ITS1‐5.8S rDNA‐ITS2) region combined with amplicon sequencing. Analysis of similarity between the obtained sequences and those deposited in the GenBank database was performed. Twelve strains were confirmed to belong to the Aspergillus carbonarius species. Strains belonging to the Aspergillus niger aggregate group were classified by in silico RFLP assay into two patterns N and T, corresponding to A. niger and Aspergillus tubingensis. Among the 21 OTA producing isolates analysed, 13 showed the T‐type pattern and 8 showed the N‐type pattern. The presented method showed to be a reliable alternative to the classic RFLP method. Our findings unambiguously revealed that multiple aspergilli species isolated from wine and table grape in Tunisia are able to produce OTA. 相似文献

Cactus stems, the cladodes of Opuntia spp. cacti, are consumed in Mexico and other countries due to their fresh and herbaceous flavor, and because of their widely known nutraceutical benefits. In order to extend the postharvest life of this vegetable, the effect of a modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was studied in cactus stems of the cultivar Atlixco stored at 4 ± 1 °C for 20 days under three types of atmospheres: (1) air (passive atmosphere), (2) 5 kPa O2 + 4 kPa CO2, and (3) N2. During storage, the titratable acidity decreased and the color of cladodes became darker and less green; however, the 5 kPa O2 + 4 kPa CO2 atmosphere was able to preserve both quality characteristics. All modified atmospheres reduced weight loss (from 8 to <2%) and the symptoms of chilling injury, and this physiological disorder appeared earlier in controls than in MAP-stored cladodes. The levels of fermentation metabolites were low in all three evaluated atmospheres. Because of this, only cladodes stored under the N2 atmosphere were selected for furthersensory analysis of the MAP effect on odor perception as evaluated by a trained panel. Results indicated that there was no detrimental effect (atypical odors) of MAP on this sensory characteristic. We conclude that cultivar Atlixco is suitable for preservation using MAP technology. 相似文献

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses in agriculture worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean area. We report here a proteomic approach to investigate the salt stress-responsive proteins in grapevine (Vitis vinifera). Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was used to analyze the proteome of the salt-tolerant Tunisian grapevine cultivar Razegui, subjected to a supply of 100mm NaCl over 15d. Analysis of 2-DE gels derived from stressed plants revealed more than 800 reproducibly detected protein spots, with 48 proteins displaying a differential expression pattern, including 32 up-regulated, 9 down-regulated and 7 new protein spots induced after salt treatment. The presence of stress-responsive proteins in the different plant organs suggests that salt spreads systemically. Edman degradation analysis and database searching aided us in identifying a major protein GP. Database analysis revealed that this peptide has a 98% sequence similarity with a pathogenesis-related (PR) protein 10 (V. vinifera). A full-length cDNA encoding the GP protein was isolated from grapevine salt-stressed leaves and sequenced. The predicted protein contained 158 amino acids and showed 98% identity with PR10 protein of of V. vinifera (accession no. Cac16165). 相似文献

Survival of vegetation on soil-capped mining wastes is often impaired during dry seasons due to the limited amount of water stored in the shallow soil capping. Growth and survival of Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) during soil drying on various layered capping sequences constructed of combinations of topsoil, subsoil, seawater-neutralised residue sand and low grade bauxite was determined in a glasshouse. The aim was to describe the survival of Rhodes grass in terms of plant and soil water relationships. The soil water characteristic curve and soil texture analysis was a good predictor of plant survival. The combination of soil with a high water holding capacity and low soil water diffusivity (e.g. subsoil with high clay contents) with soil having a high water holding capacity and high diffusivity (e.g. residue sand) gave best survival during drying down (up to 88 days without water), whereas topsoil and low grade bauxite were unsuitable (plants died within 18–39 days). Clayey soil improved plant survival by triggering a water stress response during peak evaporative water demand once residue sand dried down and its diffusivity fell below a critical range. Thus, for revegetation in seasonally dry climates, soil capping should combine one soil with low diffusivity and one or more soils with high total water holding capacity and high diffusivity. 相似文献
