Chilo partellus, the spotted stem borer (SSB), is reported for the first time from the fields of sorghum and corn in Israel. Spotted stem borer larvae were first discovered in July 2010 on sorghum and corn plants in the Western Galilee. The new pest had spread all over northern Israel by the end of 2011. The identity of the new pest was confirmed using the morphology of the dissected male genitalia and its attraction to SSB sex pheromone. 相似文献

Spectroscopic properties of two newly synthesized water-soluble thiol-reactive fluorescent probes, 7-(iodoacetamido)-coumarin-4-carboxylic acid (I-Cca) and N-iodoacetyl-beta-(2-naphthyl)alanine (I-Nal), were characterized using single cysteine mutants of Escherichia coli adenylate kinase. Together with two known water-soluble thiol-reactive dyes (Lucifer yellow iodoacetamide and 5-iodoacetamidosalicylic acid) and as well, tryptophan residues (either native or inserted into a protein by site directed mutagenesis), these probes can be arranged pairwise in a molecular tool set for studies of structural transitions in proteins by means of fluorescence resonance energy-transfer (FRET) experiments. A set of seven donor/acceptor pairs which allow determination of intramolecular distances and their distributions over the range 10-40 A in labeled protein derivatives is described. The charged groups present in the probes facilitate the conjugation reaction and improve postlabeling purification. General considerations for design of charged probes and site-directed labeling for applications of FRET methods in studies of protein structure and dynamics are presented. 相似文献

Adenylate kinase from Escherichia coli (AKeco), consisting of a single 23.6 kDa polypeptide chain folded into domains CORE, AMPbd, and LID, catalyzes the reaction AMP + ATP --> 2ADP. Domains LID and AMPbd execute large-scale movements during catalysis. Backbone dynamics of ligand-free and AP(5)A-inhibitor-bound AKeco were studied comparatively with (15)N NMR relaxation methods. Overall diffusion with correlation times of 15.05 (11.42) ns and anisotropy D(parallel)/D(perp) = 1.25 (1.10), and fast internal motions with correlation times up to 100 ps (50 ps), were determined for AKeco (AKecoAP(5)A). Fast internal motions affect 93% of the AKeco sites, with pronounced preference for domains AMPbd and LID, and 47% of the AKecoAP(5)A sites, with limited variability along the chain. The mean squared generalized order parameters, , of secondary structure elements and loops are affected by ligand binding differentially and in a domain-specific manner. Nanosecond motions predominate within AMPbd. Prominent exchange contributions, associated in particular with residue G10 of the nucleotide-binding P-loop motif, are interpreted to reflect hydrogen-bond dynamics at the inhibitor-binding site. The hypothesis of energetic counter balancing of substrate binding based on crystallographic data is strongly supported by the solution NMR results. Correlations between backbone dynamics and domain displacement are established. 相似文献

The problem of coordinating the traditional and modern approaches to systematics is ever-lasting due to the continuous development
and enrichment of our knowledge of biodiversity, means of analysis, and concepts. Comparative morphology was and still is
the cornerstone of studies of insect taxonomy. It gives the most extensive and diverse information on the organisms studied,
particularly when it is supported by the data on embryology and functional morphology as well as by analysis of adaptive significance
of morphological characters. The limitations of this approach are often related to the presence of homoplasies, reversions,
etc. Comparative paleontology is the only approach providing direct evidence of the historical succession of taxa and their
characters. However, this approach is fully applicable only to some groups due to the specific features of their morphology
and taphonomy. All the modern approaches (molecular, cytogenetic, etc.) are very informative but also have their own limitations;
they should not be contrasted with the traditional approaches and certainly should not replace them. The traditional approaches
do not become obsolete; it is only their comparative importance in the set of taxonomic tools that may be reevaluated. No
single approach can be considered universal for an unambiguous reconstruction of phylogeny and substantiation of the natural
system of taxa. Each approach has its own advantages and limitations, and only combined use of different approaches allows
a broader range of the problems to be solved. Different approaches may prevail in the studies of different groups of insects
and at different levels of taxonomic hierarchy. The intuition of the taxonomist, which is so often criticized by the followers
of “objective” systematics, is based on taxonomic experience and scope of knowledge of a particular taxon. It does not imply
a subjective bias, but allows the taxonomist to choose the instruments adequate to a particular case. 相似文献

Alona brandorffi sp. n, related to A. verrucosa Sars, 1901 is described from Boa Vista, Brazil. Parthenogenetic females and males of A. brandorffi were studied. Examination of trunk limbs of A. brandorffi reveals several unusual modifications in structure, unique for the genus, such as very short setae on endites 2 and 3 of limb I, peculiar IDL setae, limb II with scrapers 7–8 with reduced distal part and only six, instead of seven setae in the filter plate, limb IV with only three, instead of four, setae on the inner lobe. The relationships and place of A. brandorffi within the genus Alona are discussed. 相似文献

The time course of refolding of both pig muscle and yeast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (molecular masses about 47 kDa), as well as their proteolytic C-terminal fragments (30 and 33 kDa, respectively) has been investigated. Very similar refolding kinetics (with half-time between 80-120 s, at 20 degrees C) were observed by fluorescence and ultraviolet absorbance spectroscopy, as well as by activity measurements, for the intact enzyme from both sources. This time course appears not to depend on the time the protein spends in the unfolded state, i.e. it is certainly not controlled by proline isomerization. Furthermore, after removal of a large N-terminal part (molecular mass of about 18 kDa for pig muscle enzyme or 13 kDa for yeast enzyme) of the molecule by proteolysis, refolding of the remaining C-terminal fragment of both proteins follows kinetics virtually indistinguishable from those of the intact protein molecule. 相似文献

Species composition and parameters of biomass of net plankton were analyzed for four large and 35 small lakes from 10 areas
located between 69.5° and 67.5°N and 87° and 92°E that were examined in July–August, 2001 and 2003–2004. In the composition
of the first (dominant) and/or second (subdominant) species in the ranged row of the average biomass, the lakes were copepod
in 78.8% of cases, in 67.3%, calanoid. The share of biomass of cladocerans in the total biomass of zooplankton exceeded 50%
only in 31% of cases. By the frequency of occurrence as dominant or subdominant by biomass the first place is occupied by
copepodites calanoid (34.6% of cases), the second, by sexually mature Heterocope appendiculata (26.9%), the third, by copepodites cyclopoid (17.3%), the fourth, by Polyphemus pediculus (15.4%), the fifth, by Acanthodiaptomus denticornis (13.5%), the sixth, by Bosmina cf. longispina (11.5%), the seventh, by Heterocope borealis (9.6%), the eighth, by Daphnia cf. longispina (7.7% of cases). For the first time in the region 14 species of crustacean zooplankton are given. The known range of some
species and subspecies (for example, Chydorus biovatus, Camptocercus fennicus, Ophyoxus gracilis kolymensis, Arctodiaptomus acutilobatus, Acanthrodiaptomus tibetanus) is widened owing to the findings in the studied region. The groups of the areas are more similar in terms of zooplankton
north to south than east to west; the number of the cladoceran species and the number of cladoceran lakes grew north to south
and east to west, which corresponded to the general change of climate towards more mild north to south for similar altitudes
and east to west for different altitudes from mountain areas to the low lands. The comparison of the species lists from different
northern regions showed that the species diversity (total number of species) of cladocerans and copepods does not change significantly
west to east. Distribution of species and changes in the zooplankton structure are discussed from the point of view of possible
influence of the global warming. 相似文献

To investigate the distribution of the hemolysin II determinant among strains of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis, thirteen strains of B. cereus and fourteen strains of B. thuringiensis strains were tested for hybridization of their chromosomal DNAs with a DNA probe containing the B. cereus hemolysin II gene. In addition, the production of hemolysin II, whose activity is not inhibited by cholesterol, was tested. The presence (absence) of the hybridization response in the microorganism's genome correlated with the presence (absence) of cholesterol-unaffected hemolysin production. Only four out of thirteen B. cereus strains were found to give a positive response in hybridization experiments, whereas thirteen out of fourteen B. thuringiensis strains responded positively. DNAs from ten B. thuringiensis strains contained a 3.5 kb EcoRV fragment, which hybridized with the B. cereus hemolysin II gene probe. The 3.5 kb EcoRV DNA fragment from one of these strains (B. thuringiensis VKM-B1555) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The hemolysin encoded by the cloned DNA fragment was not inhibited by cholesterol and possessed all other properties of B. cereus hemolysin II. The obtained data clearly show limited distribution of hemolysin II among B. cereus strains and demonstrate that hemolysin II is more characteristic of B. thuringiensis than B. cereus. 相似文献
