Abstract Probes containing the nod and hsn regions of Rhizobium meliloti and the fixABC genes of Rhizobium japonicum were used to perform hybridization experiments with endonuclease-restricted DNA from Azospirillum brasilense strains and 2 Azospirillum lipoferum strains. Homology to nod, hsn and fixA was found in the 4 Azospirillum strains. 相似文献

In the course of a systematic survey of DMD and BMD patients with intronic probes and with cDNA probes covering three-fourths of the coding sequence, 45 molecular deletions within the DMD gene were investigated. Forty-two percent of the breakpoints were located in the intronic sequence containing probe P20, whereas the other deletions were widespread around the more proximal part of the gene. Most of the BMD deletions were in the P20 region. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to determine the size of some deletions and allowed us to estimate the physical distance between the intronic probes JBir and P20. The reading frame was checked in 11 cases with proximal deletions and found to be disrupted in 6 of 7 DMD patients, in 1 intermediate case, and, unexpectedly, in 3 BMD patients. 相似文献

Bioelectrochemical analysis of neuropathy target esterase (NTE) and its inhibitors is based on the combination of the NTE-catalyzed hydrolysis of phenyl valerate and phenol detection by a tyrosinase carbon-paste electrode. The use of the tyrosinase electrode improves 10-fold the sensitivity of NTE detection in comparison with a spectrophotometric method. The tyrosinase electrode was found to be suitable for measurements in whole human blood where spectrophotometric detection is considerably restricted. The specificity of NTE in blood for mipafox and di-2-propyl phosphorofluoridate was close to that for neuronal NTE. The NTE-like activity in blood was determined to be 0.19 +/- 0.02 nmol/min/mg of protein. 相似文献

We have previously identified in some mouse strains (e.g. BALB/c, DBA/2) a murine Intracisternal A-particle (IAP) transposable element specifically expressed in the liver. This IAP sequence is inserted within a gene, mCCR4/m. nocturnin, the sequence of which is related to the circadian Xenopus nocturnin gene. Here we show, using real-time quantitative RT-PCR, that both the IAP sequence and the m. nocturnin gene display strong circadian expression in the liver, with peak abundance after dusk. Circadian oscillations of m. nocturnin RNA are maintained in mice without the IAP insertion (e.g. CBA/J, 129/sv), are free-running under constant light and dark conditions, and persist upon food and water privation, demonstrating that m. nocturnin is a circadian gene. In situ hybridization analyses (in 129/sv mice) further show circadian expression of m. nocturnin also in the retina, precisely at the level of the photoreceptors, a result consistent with the previously described circadian expression of the Xenopus gene. These results strengthen the strong conservation of the nocturnin gene with the identification of a functional mouse ortholog of the Xenopus gene, and demonstrate the reciprocal influence of nearby genes on the expression of transposable elements via "position effects". 相似文献

Hereditary autosomal-recessive cerebellar ataxias are a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders. We used homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing to study a cohort of nine Portuguese families who were identified during a nationwide, population-based, systematic survey as displaying a consistent phenotype of recessive ataxia with oculomotor apraxia (AOA). The integration of data from these analyses led to the identification of the same homozygous PNKP (polynucleotide kinase 3′-phosphatase) mutation, c.1123G>T (p.Gly375Trp), in three of the studied families. When analyzing this particular gene in the exome sequencing data from the remaining cohort, we identified homozygous or compound-heterozygous mutations in five other families. PNKP is a dual-function enzyme with a key role in different pathways of DNA-damage repair. Mutations in this gene have previously been associated with an autosomal-recessive syndrome characterized by microcephaly; early-onset, intractable seizures; and developmental delay (MCSZ). The finding of PNKP mutations associated with recessive AOA extends the phenotype associated with this gene and identifies a fourth locus that causes AOA. These data confirm that MCSZ and some forms of ataxia share etiological features, most likely reflecting the role of PNKP in DNA-repair mechanisms. 相似文献

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are cationic molecules that are good leads for new antiinfective drugs. To obtain sufficient amounts, recombinant AMPs are generally produced as fusion proteins in Escherichia coli. Fusion partners facilitate purification of recombinant proteins. Fusion proteins are then cleaved by specific proteases, and cationic peptides are purified by size exclusion chromatography or ion exchange chromatography, neither of which is easily applicable to small volumes of diluted peptide samples. We developed a small-scale system that is easily adaptable for high-throughput screening and uses carboxyl magnetic beads to purify a cationic peptide from its fusion partner. 相似文献

Candida yeasts colonize the human oral cavity as commensals or opportunistic pathogens. They may be isolated from water circulating in dental unit waterlines mixed with traces of saliva mainly because of the dysfunction of antiretraction valves. This study deals with the growth ability of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Candida parapsilosis in tap water with saliva (0-20% v/v). Results show that C. glabrata is the most susceptible species in tap water. Furthermore, saliva promotes both survival and proliferation of the three studied Candida species in tap water. 相似文献

Retinoic acid (RA), the acid form of vitamin A, is shown to enhance the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) in cultures of mouse L cells. Maximal stimulation was observed in cells growing in a serum-free medium supplemented with 10(-6)M RA during 48 h. The drug increased both the level of NGF mRNA and the amount of mature NGF protein secreted by the cells. RA was previously reported to increase the number of NGF receptors on some neuroblastoma cells (Haskell et al., 1987 Cell and Tiss. Res., 247, 67-73). It seems, therefore, that RA may influence nerve cell differentiation by promoting both the synthesis of the neurotrophic factor and the responsiveness of target cells. 相似文献

Cryptosporidium parvum is a parasitic protozoa increasingly appreciated as a cause of intestinal malabsorptive syndrome leading to malnutrition and/or growth failure. Because a major mechanism for apical peptide absorption by small intestine is via the proton-coupled transporter PepT1, we investigated the expression and functionality of this transporter in our model of acute cryptosporidiosis. Four-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats were inoculated by gavage with 5 x 10(5) oocysts of C. parvum and killed at Day 12 (peak of the infection) or Day 21 (spontaneous clearance of the parasite). PepT1 expression and functionality were quantified in the distal small intestine, preferential site of C. parvum implantation, and in the proximal small intestine, free of parasite, using Western blot and Ussing chambers, respectively. No difference in total PepT1 protein expression or in glycyl-sarcosine fluxes was observed in C. parvum-infected rats compared with controls either on Day 12 or on Day 21, both in the proximal and in the distal small intestine. However, a significant decrease of apical membrane protein expression of PepT1 was observed in C. parvum-infected enterocytes compared with controls. This maintained dipeptide transport observed despite villous atrophy and decreased expression of the protein at the brush-border membrane strongly suggest a transient upregulation of PepT1 activity, probably related to gamma-interferon regulation. 相似文献
