Congenital chromosome breakage clusters within Giemsa-light bands and identifies sites of chromatin instability 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Analysis of the distribution of published chromosome breaks in cells with constitutional chromosome aberrations showed a nonrandom distribution of breaks among chromosomes and chromosome regions. A significant amount of breakage occurred at Giemsa-negative bands. In addition, chromosome sites associated with a number of fragile sites and cellular oncogene sites were affected nonrandomly. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that chromosome breakage occurs in somatic or germ cells as a result of recombinational errors involving actively transcribing chromatin regions or regions of unstable DNA sequence structure placed in proximity during interphase. 相似文献

Intracellular total soluble proteins of Beauveria bassiana are believed to play an important role in virulence against insect hosts. Thirty B. bassiana isolates collected from different geographical regions and host ranges were characterised by total soluble proteins present in cells, using the SDS–PAGE technique to differentiate the isolates based on virulence and host insect origin. In vitro analysis of total soluble protein profiles of 30 isolates was studied to understand the relationship of isolates with their host of origin and virulence against Helicoverpa armigera. There was a positive relationship between virulence and host origin. All the non-virulent isolates are grouped together. Similarly, highly virulent isolates against H. armigera were grouped together. The relationship between total soluble proteins and pathogenicity was positively correlated. Thirty isolates shared only 22% similarity in their protein profiles. 相似文献

An immuno-affinity method for the purification of mannose 6-phosphate receptor proteins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In a recent study, we have developed an ELISA method to quantify the mannose 6-phosphate receptor (MPR) proteins [J. Biochem. Biophys. Methods 52 (2002) 111]. In the present study, we have used the goat MPR 300 antibody and peptide specific antibodies to human MPR 46 to develop simple and efficient immuno-affinity matrices, which can be used to purify the MPR proteins from goat liver in a single step. The identity of the immuno-affinity purified receptors is confirmed by their molecular masses as well as by their immunoreactivity. 相似文献

The Mannose 6-phosphate receptor (MPR’s) proteins are important for transporting lysosomal enzymes from trans-golgi to the pre-lysosomal compartment. These are conserved in the vertebrates from fish to mammals. We have cloned the full
length cDNA for the goat MPR 46 protein and compared its sequences to the other known vertebrate MPR 46 proteins. In the present
study the full-length cDNA for the goat MPR 46 protein was expressed in MPR deficient cells. The expressed protein was purified
on the multivalent phosphomannan gel in the presence of divalent metal ions. The apparent molecular mass of the expressed
protein was found to be ∼46 kDa and also exhibits oligomeric nature as observed in the other species, by using an MSC1 antibody
(that recognizes the MPR 46 from molluscs to mammals) as well as with a peptide specific antibody corresponding to amino acid
residues (218–237) of the cytoplasmic tail of human MPR 46 protein. Furthermore the distribution of the expressed protein
was visualized by immunofluorescence using MSC1 and LAMP1 antibody. Additionally in the goat MPR 46 expressing cells, the
sorting function of the expressed protein to sort cathepsin D to lysosomes was studied by confocal microscopy using cathepsin
D antiserum and LAMP1 antibody. The binding of goat MPR 46 to cathepsin D was shown in far Western blotting and the mannose
6-phosphate dependent binding was shown by co-immunoprecipitation. 相似文献

Mannose-6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) have been identified in a wide range of species from humans to invertebrates such as
molluscs. A characteristic of all MPRs is their common property to recognize mannose-6-phosphate residues that are labelling
lysosomal enzymes and to mediate their targeting to lysosomes in mammalian cells by the corresponding receptor proteins. We
present here the analysis of full-length sequences for MPR 46 from zebrafish (Danio rerio) and its functional analysis. This is the first non-mammalian MPR 46 to be characterised. The amino acid sequences of the
zebrafish MPR 46 displays 70% similarity to the human MPR 46 protein. In particular, all essential cysteine residues, the
transmembrane domain as well as the cytoplasmic tail residues harbouring the signals for endocytosis and Golgi-localizing,
γ-ear-containing, ARF-binding protein (GGA)-mediated sorting at the trans-Golgi network, are highly conserved. The zebrafish
MPR 46 has the arginine residue known to be essential for mannose-6-phosphate binding and other additional characteristic
residues of the mannose-6-phosphate ligand-binding pocket. Like the mammalian MPR 46, zebrafish MPR 46 binds to the multimeric
mannose-6-phosphate ligand phosphomannan and can rescue the missorting of lysosomal enzymes in mammalian MPR-deficient cells.
The conserved C-terminal acidic dileucine motif (DxxLL) in the cytoplasmic domain of zebrafish MPR 46 essential for the interaction
of the GGAs with the receptor domains interacts with the human GGA1-VHS domain. Interestingly, the serine residue suggested
to regulate the interaction between the tail and the GGAs in a phosphorylation-dependent manner is substituted by a proline
residue in fish.

The medicinal potentials of the methanol extracts of the leaves and stems of Halleria lucida (Scrophulariaceae) were evaluated by assessing their antibacterial and antioxidant properties in vitro using standard procedures. The antioxidant activities of methanol extract of the leaves as determined by the ABTS, DPPH, proanthocyanidins and total flavonoids were higher than that of the stem. On the other hand, the total phenols, the flavonoids and the FRAP contents of the stem were higher than that of the leaves. The extracts however showed poor activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The methanol extract of the stem showed activities against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus epidermidis at MIC of 1.0 mg/ml. The methanol extract of the leaves did not show activity against any of the organisms used in this study. This study has to some extent validated the medicinal potential of the leaves and stems of H. lucida. 相似文献

Electrophilic alpha-thiocyanation of N-acyl carboximides using N-thiocyanatosuccinimide and hydrolytic cyclization of the adducts affords 5-substituted and 5,5-disubstituted 2,4-thiazolidinediones in good overall yields. Alpha-thiocyanation of chiral N-acyl carboximides proceeds with excellent diastereoselectivity, although partial racemization occurs during subsequent cyclization. 相似文献

Halophilic microbes are studied to understand the metabolic pathways adopted by organisms in such extreme environment and for their biotechnological exploitation. In thallosohaline environments worldwide, the autotrophic alga Dunaliella salina Teodoresco is omnipresent, but it is being recently realised that the heterotrophic components vary in different regions. The unexplored eastern coastline of India abutted by Bay of Bengal was investigated for the heterotrophic halophilic microbes in this region. The waters in the salterns – replicas of natural hyper-saline water bodies of that region, were collected at four sites along 650 km of the coastal belt. In cultures set up from these waters, green and pink colonies were observed. The green colonies were found to be those of D. salina while the pink colonies were of heterotrophs. To identify the heterotrophic microbes, light microscopy, 16S rRNA typing and pigment profiling through spectrophotometry and HPLC were done. The cells in pink colonies were rod shaped. 16S rRNA typing of cells in these colonies detected the presence of Halomonas sp. – a eubacterium. The pigment profile of cells in pink cultures matched that of the archaea – Halobacterium; bacterioruberin derivatives were found. Thus, it was concluded that Halomonas and Halobacterium spp. are among the co-inhabitant heterotrophs of D. salina. Cultures of D. salina established from these salterns showed the typical three colours seen in the ponds of different sub-plots of salterns. They were green until 30 days, turning dark orange by 60 days and pink when 90 day old. In the 90 day old cultures, innumerable rod shaped cells were found. These cells were similar to the cells of the waters from the ponds of pink sub-plots of salterns and the pink colonies established from saltern waters in the laboratory. In the old (90 days) laboratory cultures of D. salina, the glycerol and proteins released from degenerating cells and the increase in salt concentration to super saturation levels due to evaporation of water in the medium led to the gregarious appearance of the heterotrophs – the co-inhabitants in natural environment. 相似文献

Rice bran oil (RBO), being naturally rich in antioxidants, is currently regarded as one of the health-beneficial edible oils. However, the RBO has essential linoleic acid (ω-6, C18:2) and α-linolenic acid (ω-3, C18:3) in nutritionally disproportionate level (~25:1), contrary to the WHO/FAO’s recommendation of ~5:1. Among few naturally occurring C18:3 enriched oil-seeds, Brassica juncea (Indian mustard) has almost equal proportion of ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids in its oil due to the activity of microsomal ω-3 desaturase (Fad3), which converts C18:2–C18:3. Therefore, the full length Fad3 coding DNA sequence (CDS) was isolated from the developing seeds of B. juncea, functionally characterized and heterologously expressed for the nutritional enhancement of RBO. Sequence analysis revealed that the 1,134 bp long BjFad3 CDS corresponds to a polypeptide of 377 amino acids, which is highly (85–95 %) homologous to other known Fad3 enzymes of plant kingdom. The BjFad3 gene was initially characterized in transgenic tobacco to establish its linoleate desaturase activity. Thereafter, rice bran-specific expression of the BjFad3 was carried out to alter the fatty acid profile of RBO. Several independent transgenic lines of tobacco and rice plants were developed by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Standard molecular biological techniques were used to confirm the transgene integration in the respective genomes and subsequent in planta expression. The BjFad3 transgene expression correlated to the significant increase in C18:3 fatty acid content (up to tenfold) in both tobacco seed oil and RBO, and thereby improving the nutritionally desirable ω-6:ω-3 ratio (~2:1) in one of the transgenic rice lines. 相似文献
