PGRP-S (Tag7) is an innate immunity protein involved in the antimicrobial defense systems, both in insects and in mammals. We have previously shown that Tag7 specifically interacts with several proteins, including Hsp70 and the calcium binding protein S100A4 (Mts1), providing a number of novel cellular functions. Here we show that Tag7–Mts1 complex causes chemotactic migration of lymphocytes, with NK cells being a preferred target. Cells of either innate immunity (neutrophils and monocytes) or acquired immunity (CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes) can produce this complex, which confirms the close connection between components of the 2 branches of immune response. 相似文献

Background
Pseudomonas, a soil bacterium, has been observed as a dominant genus that survives in different habitats with wide hostile conditions. We had a basic assumption that the species level variation in 16S rDNA sequences of a bacterial genus is mainly due to substitutions rather than insertion or deletion of bases. Keeping this in view, the aim was to identify a region of 16S rDNA sequence and within that focus on substitution prone stretches indicating species level variation and to derive patterns from these stretches that are specific to the genus.Results
Repeating elements that are highly conserved across different species of Pseudomonas were considered as guiding markers to locate a region within the 16S gene. Four repeating patterns showing more than 80% consistency across fifty different species of Pseudomonas were identified. The sub-sequences between the repeating patterns yielded a continuous region of 495 bases. The sub-sequences after alignment and using Shanon's entropy measure yielded a consensus pattern. A stretch of 24 base positions in this region, showing maximum variations across the sampled sequences was focused for possible genus specific patterns. Nine patterns in this stretch showed nearly 70% specificity to the target genus. These patterns were further used to obtain a signature that is highly specific to Pseudomonas. The signature region was used to design PCR primers, which yielded a PCR product of 150 bp whose specificity was validated through a sample experiment.Conclusions
The developed approach was successfully applied to genus Pseudomonas. It could be tried in other bacterial genera to obtain respective signature patterns and thereby PCR primers, for their rapid tracking in the environmental samples.3.

In the presented work, a new approach for the control of aml1/eto gene expression in t(8;21)(q22;q22)-positive acute myeloid leukemia cells has been developed. The technique is based on RNA-interference
and lentiviral transduction methodology. Two new lentiviral vector sets for induction of constitutive anti-aml1/eto RNA-interference in acute myeloid leukemia cells have been developed and tested. The first set was based on the use of artificial
microRNAs (miRNAs), and the second one was intended for production of small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs). It was shown that Kasumi-1
and SKNO-1 leukemia cells could be efficiently transduced with each new lentiviral vector. Moreover, the percent of modified
leukemia cells evaluated in a multiplicity of infection (MOI) test exceeded 90% for Kasumi-1 and SKNO-1 cells at MOI 40 and
20, respectively. Comparative study elucidated that the anti-aml1/eto shRNA-based approach induced a stronger knock-down of aml1/eto gene in Kasumi-1 and SKNO-1 cells compared to the miRNA-based method. We assume that the proposed approach will become a
handy tool for regulation of aml1/eto gene expression in both in vitro and in vivo studies of the functional and biological role of the gene. 相似文献

The efficiency of human bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transduction with a bicistronic lentivirus vector was estimated, and the stability of transgene expression in genetically modified MSCs was determined. First-passage BM MSCs were capable of efficient transduction with the bicistronic lentivirus vector. The transduction efficiency depended on the multiplicity of infection (MOI), being 64 +/- 6.5 and 88.6 +/- 2.9% at MOI 10 and 20, respectively. The lentivirus transduction efficiency proved independent on the number of passages of a BM MSC culture, and expression of the egfp and dsRed1 transgenes in genetically modified MSCs remained stable for one month of culturing. A comparison showed that the level of egfp and dsRed1 transgene expression was preserved upon hepatogenic differentiation in vitro. The results provide a basis for further development of multigenic modification of human BM MSCs for research and/or therapeutic purposes. 相似文献

The cultivated husk tomato (Physalis ixocarpa) (2n = 2x = 24) is native from Mexico and Central America and shows a wide genetic variation. Presently, it is the fourth horticultural crop in cultivation surface in Mexico. The working team of this research previously developed an autotetraploid population by using colchicine. The objectives of the present work were to analyze the ploidy level and meiotic behavior of the subsequent generations (C3, C4, C5, C6) from the original (C2) composed only by plants with the duplicated genome from the Rendidora cultivar, and to determine pollen viability. As a diploid control the cultivar Rendidora of P. ixocarpa was used. Ploidy level was determined by flow citometry and meiotic analysis. For the meiotic study, the microsporocytes were prepared by the squash method, stained with carmin and analyzed in diakinesis. Pollen viability was evaluated through 0.01% Buffalo Black staining. The tetraploid condition prevailed through four cross-pollinating generations, maintaining a constant chromosome number 2n = 4x = 48. In diakinesis, the chromosomes of the diploid cultivar were associated into bivalents, whereas in tetraploid plants the chromosomes associated into univalents, bivalents and trivalents. Highly significant differences in bivalent pairing were detected between autotetraploid plants and between generations. Pollen viability did not show significant differences between generations and allowed reproduction. These results indicate that it is possible to develop an autotetraploid cultivar, because the polyploid state is naturally maintained and the plants are fertile. Furthermore, given the differences in bivalent pairing between plants and generations, a response to selection toward meiotic stability is expected. 相似文献

Background
The reversal distance and optimal sequences of reversals to transform a genome into another are useful tools to analyse evolutionary scenarios. However, the number of sequences is huge and some additional criteria should be used to obtain a more accurate analysis. One strategy is searching for sequences that respect constraints, such as the common intervals (clusters of co-localised genes). Another approach is to explore the whole space of sorting sequences, eventually grouping them into classes of equivalence. Recently both strategies started to be put together, to restrain the space to the sequences that respect constraints. In particular an algorithm has been proposed to list classes whose sorting sequences do not break the common intervals detected between the two inital genomes A and B. This approach may reduce the space of sequences and is symmetric (the result of the analysis sorting A into B can be obtained from the analysis sorting B into A). 相似文献8.

The genus Dasylirion is a group of plants typically present in the Chihuahuan Desert, perennial, with a dioecious sexual behavior and commonly called sotoles. This genus has been little studied from the biological point of view, and the bases of its reproductive response remain unknown. In this work we studied the chromosome number and meiotic response of Dasylirion cedrosanum in the county of Saltillo, Coahuila, located at the North East of Mexico. For the preparation of mitotic chromosomes, we used a technique based on enzymatic treatment with pectolyase and cellulase, as well as staining with acetocarmin dye. For the study of meiosis, male flower buds were collected, fixed and stained for analysis with the same dye. As a result, the gametic (n = x = 19) and somatic chromosome (2n = 38) numbers of D. cedrosanum are reported for the first time, being consistent with previous findings in other Dasylirion species, which points to a constant ploidy level across the genus. Variation was observed in the morphology and size of the somatic chromosomes, with types ranging from submetacentric to subtelocentric, and sizes oscillating in a range of 4.43 µm, with an average total length of 112.38 µm for the diploid chromosome complement. This shows that the chromosome complement of D. cedrosanom would belong to a 3B classification of Stebins, with a medium variation between chromosome lengths and low chromosome asymmetry. This variation indicates the feasibility of constructing a chromosome ideotype for this species. The meiotic chromosome pairing showed a chromosome behavior consistent with a disomic inheritance characteristic of a diploid species, with prevalence of ring and chain bivalents, typically without pairing abnormalities. Bivalent configurations in all cases were symmetrical.The normal and symmetrical meiotic pairing indicates a balanced production of gametes, and suggests the absence of heteromorphic sex determination. 相似文献

The timing of alpha-gustducin expression during cell renewal in rat vallate taste buds 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The G protein subunit alpha-gustducin is expressed in a subset of light
(Type II) but not in dark (Type I) cells in rat vallate taste buds. The
thymidine analogue 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) is incorporated into DNA
during the S-phase of the cell cycle and can be used to determine the time
of origin of a cell. In this study, 31 rats were injected with BrdU (50
mg/kg i.p.) and perfused at various times, from 2.5 to 10.5 days, following
BrdU administration. Vallate papillae were embedded in polyester wax, cut
into 4 microm transverse sections, and characterized with antibodies to
BrdU and alpha-gustducin. Sections were processed for indirect
immunofluorescence or with an immunoperoxidase procedure. From
immunoperoxidase material on 21 rats, counts of alpha-gustducin- and
BrdU-labeled cells were obtained from 300-800 taste bud profiles at each
survival time; a total of 4122 taste bud profiles were examined. Cells with
nuclei immunoreactive for BrdU occurred within the taste buds at 2.5 days
and double-labeled cells were clearly evident at 3.5 days; a small number
of double-labeled cells were seen as early as 2.5 days. Double-labeled
cells reached a peak at 6.5 days and did not decline significantly by 10.5
days. Cells labeled for BrdU but not alpha-gustducin peaked at 5.5 days and
showed a significant decline by 8.5 days. These latter cells included light
cells not expressing alpha- gustducin and dark cells, which have previously
been shown to have a shorter life span than light cells. These data suggest
that expression of alpha-gustducin appears very early in a cell's life span
and that these cells are longer lived than many of the cells that do not
express this G protein.
