Fourteen elite sorghum lines were evaluated for their resistance to Striga hermonthica at three locations in Nigeria and Mali. Results showed that many of the lines especially MALISOR 84-1, SAMSORG 41, 97-SB-F5DT-64 (Keninkédié) and the check SRN 39 remained resistant to Striga in all locations with low emerged Striga counts, while SAMSORG 14 had the highest Striga infestation in all locations. Considerable variation in reaction to Striga infestation was observed on Séguètana, 97-SB-F5DT-63 (Wasa), 97-SB-F5DT-65, CMDT 38, CMDT 39 and CMDT 45 which were susceptible to Striga at Samaru, Nigeria but were resistant to Striga at both locations in Mali. Based on low Striga resistance and high grain yield, lines MALISOR 84-1, SAMSORG 41, 97-SB-F5DT-64, 97-SB-F5DT-65, CMDT 39 and SAMSORT 14 have been nominated for wider evaluation across more West African countries. 相似文献

The use of graduated compression stockings (GCS) in sport has been increasing in the last years due to their potential positive effects for athletes. However, there is little evidence to support whether these types of garments actually improve cardiorespiratory performance. The aim of this study was to examine the cardiorespiratory responses of GCS during running after three weeks of regular use. Twenty recreational runners performed three tests on different days: test 1) – a 5-min maximal effort run in order to determine the participants’ maximal aerobic speed; and tests 2) and 3) – a fatigue running test of 30 minutes at 80% of their maximal aerobic speed with either GCS or PLACEBO stockings at random. Cardiorespiratory parameters (minute ventilation, heart rate, relative oxygen consumption, relative carbon dioxide production, ventilatory equivalents for oxygen and carbon dioxide, and oxygen pulse) were measured. Before each test in the laboratory, the participants trained with the randomly assigned stockings (GCS or PLACEBO) for three weeks. No significant differences between GCS and PLACEBO were found in any of the cardiorespiratory parameters. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that running with GCS for three weeks does not influence cardiorespiratory parameters in recreational runners. 相似文献

Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) was applied to study the effects of enzymatic bleaching of eucalyptus pulp with xylanase and a laccase-mediator system. The thermal degradation profile of the pulps was sensitive to the enzymatic treatments. Xylanase treatment produced an ordered and clean microfibril, whereas laccase oxidized surface cellulose chains and increased the amorphous (paracrystalline) cellulose content. In this case, pulp viscosity decreased from 972 to 859 mL/g and apparent pulp crystallinity calculated from TGA data decreased almost 50%. Alkaline extraction was necessary to recover pulp crystallinity and to remove oxidized lignin in the laccase-treated samples. TGA data allowed differentiating and quantifying crystalline and amorphous cellulose. This thermogravimetric approach is a simple method in order to monitor superficial changes in cellulosic microfibrils. 相似文献

Background
Human serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) plays a major role in the metabolism of several organophosphorus compounds. The enzyme is encoded by the polymorphic gene PON1, located on chromosome 7q21.3. Aiming to identify genetic variations related to the risk of developing brain tumors, we investigated the putative association between common nonsynonymous PON1 polymorphisms and the risk of developing astrocytoma and meningioma. 相似文献5.
A homologous family of UDP- N -acetylgalactosamine: polypeptide N -
acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-transferases) initiate O-
glycosylation. These transferases share overall amino acid sequence
similarities of approximately 45-50%, but segments with higher similarities
of approximately 80% are found in the putative catalytic domain. Here we
have characterized the genomic organization of the coding regions of three
GalNAc-transferase genes and determined their chromosomal localization. The
coding regions of GALNT1 , -T2 , and -T3 were found to span 11, 16, and 10
exons, respectively. Several intron/exon boundaries were conserved within
the three genes. One conserved boundary was shared in a homologous C.
elegans GalNAc- transferase gene. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed
that GALNT1 , -T2 , and -T3 are localized at chromosomes 18q12-q21,
1q41-q42, and 2q24-q31, respectively. These results suggest that the
members of the polypeptide GalNAc-transferase family diverged early in
evolution from a common ancestral gene through gene duplication.

Higher‐order assemblies of oligomeric cargo receptor complexes form the membrane scaffold of the Cvt vesicle 下载免费PDF全文

Selective autophagy is the mechanism by which large cargos are specifically sequestered for degradation. The structural details of cargo and receptor assembly giving rise to autophagic vesicles remain to be elucidated. We utilize the yeast cytoplasm‐to‐vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway, a prototype of selective autophagy, together with a multi‐scale analysis approach to study the molecular structure of Cvt vesicles. We report the oligomeric nature of the major Cvt cargo Ape1 with a combined 2.8 Å X‐ray and negative stain EM structure, as well as the secondary cargo Ams1 with a 6.3 Å cryo‐EM structure. We show that the major dodecameric cargo prApe1 exhibits a tendency to form higher‐order chain structures that are broken upon interaction with the receptor Atg19 in vitro. The stoichiometry of these cargo–receptor complexes is key to maintaining the size of the Cvt aggregate in vivo. Using correlative light and electron microscopy, we further visualize key stages of Cvt vesicle biogenesis. Our findings suggest that Atg19 interaction limits Ape1 aggregate size while serving as a vehicle for vacuolar delivery of tetrameric Ams1. 相似文献

Introduction
Myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) are potent T cell-activating antigen-presenting cells that have been suggested to play a crucial role in the regulation of immune responses in many disease states, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite this, studies that have reported on the capacity of naturally occurring circulating mDCs to regulate T cell activation in RA are still lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the phenotypic and functional properties of naturally occurring CD1c (BDCA-1)+ mDCs from synovial fluid (SF) compared to those from peripheral blood (PB) of RA patients.Methods
CD1c+ mDC numbers and expression of costimulatory molecules were assessed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis in SF and PB from RA patients. Ex vivo secretion of 45 inflammatory mediators by mDCs from SF and PB of RA patients was determined by multiplex immunoassay. The capacity of mDCs from SF to activate autologous CD4+ T cells was measured.Results
CD1c+ mDC numbers were significantly increased in SF versus PB of RA patients (mean 4.7% vs. 0.6%). mDCs from SF showed increased expression of antigen-presenting (human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II, CD1c) and costimulatory molecules (CD80, CD86 and CD40). Numerous cytokines were equally abundantly produced by mDCs from both PB and SF (including IL-12, IL-23, IL-13, IL-21). SF mDCs secreted higher levels of interferon γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), monokine induced by interferon γ (MIG) and, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), but lower macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) levels compared to mDCs from PB. mDCs from SF displayed a strongly increased capacity to induce proliferation of CD4+ T cells associated with a strongly augmented IFNγ, IL-17, and IL-4 production.Conclusions
This study suggests that increased numbers of CD1c+ mDCs in SF are involved in the inflammatory cascade intra-articularly by the secretion of specific T cell-attracting chemokines and the activation of self-reactive T cells. 相似文献8.

Many structural, signaling, and adhesion molecules contain tandemly
repeated amino acid motifs. The alpha-actinin/spectrin/dystrophin
superfamily of F-actin-crosslinking proteins contains an array of triple
alpha-helical motifs (spectrin repeats). We present here the complete
sequence of the novel beta-spectrin isoform beta(Heavy)- spectrin (beta H).
The sequence of beta H supports the origin of alpha- and beta-spectrins
from a common ancestor, and we present a novel model for the origin of the
spectrins from a homodimeric actin-crosslinking precursor. The pattern of
similarity between the spectrin repeat units indicates that they have
evolved by a series of nested, nonuniform duplications. Furthermore, the
spectrins and dystrophins clearly have common ancestry, yet the repeat unit
is of a different length in each family. Together, these observations
suggest a dynamic period of increase in repeat number accompanied by
homogenization within each array by concerted evolution. However, today,
there is greater similarity of homologous repeats between species than
there is across repeats within species, suggesting that concerted evolution
ceased some time before the arthropod/vertebrate split. We propose a
two-phase model for the evolution of the spectrin repeat arrays in which an
initial phase of concerted evolution is subsequently retarded as each new
protein becomes constrained to a specific length and the repeats diverge at
the DNA level. This evolutionary model has general applicability to the
origins of the many other proteins that have tandemly repeated motifs.

Prospects for estimating nucleotide divergence with RAPDs 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The technique of random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD), which is
simply polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of genomic DNA by a
single short oligonucleotide primer, produces complex patterns of anonymous
polymorphic DNA fragments. The information provided by these banding
patterns has proved to be of great utility for mapping and for verification
of identity of bacterial strains. Here we consider whether the degree of
similarity of the banding patterns can be used to estimate nucleotide
diversity and nucleotide divergence. With haploid data, fragments generated
by RAPD-PCR can be treated in a fashion very similar to that for
restriction-fragment data. Amplification of diploid samples, on the other
hand, requires consideration of the fact that presence of a band is
dominant to absence of the band. After describing a method for estimating
nucleotide divergence on the basis of diploid samples, we summarize the
restrictions and criteria that must be met when RAPD data are used for
estimating population genetic parameters.
