Synthesis of 2'-modified oligonucleotides from 2'-methoxyoxalamido (MOX) and 2'-succinimido (SUC) precursors is described. Their physical and biochemical properties were assessed. Synthesized oligonucleotides were used as primers in advanced DNA sequencing protocols. An example of sequencing directly off genomic DNA template without prior cloning or PCR amplification is presented. 相似文献

All-trans-retinoic acid is a metabolite of vitamin A (all-trans-retinol) that functions as an activating ligand for a family of nuclear retinoic acid receptors. The intracellular levels of retinoic acid in tissues are tightly regulated, although the mechanisms underlying the control of retinoid metabolism at the level of specific enzymes are not completely understood. In this report we present the first characterization of the retinoid substrate specificity of a novel short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) encoded by RalR1/PSDR1, a cDNA recently isolated from the human prostate (Lin, B., White, J. T., Ferguson, C., Wang, S., Vessella, R., Bumgarner, R., True, L. D., Hood, L., and Nelson, P. S. (2001) Cancer Res. 61, 1611-1618). We demonstrate that RalR1 exhibits an oxidoreductive catalytic activity toward retinoids, but not steroids, with at least an 800-fold lower apparent K(m) values for NADP+ and NADPH versus NAD+ and NADH as cofactors. The enzyme is approximately 50-fold more efficient for the reduction of all-trans-retinal than for the oxidation of all-trans-retinol. Importantly, RalR1 reduces all-trans-retinal in the presence of a 10-fold molar excess of cellular retinol-binding protein type I, which is believed to sequester all-trans-retinal from nonspecific enzymes. As shown by immunostaining of human prostate and LNCaP cells with monoclonal anti-RalR1 antibodies, the enzyme is highly expressed in the epithelial cell layer of human prostate and localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. The enzymatic properties and expression pattern of RalR1 in prostate epithelium suggest that it might play a role in the regulation of retinoid homeostasis in human prostate. 相似文献

Abstract: Many articulated brachiopods experience marked life habit variations during ontogeny because they experience their fluid environment at successively higher Reynolds numbers, and they can change the configuration of their inhalant and exhalant flows as body size increases. We show that the extant brachiopod Terebratalia transversa undergoes a substantial ontogenetic change in reorientation governed by rotation around the pedicle. T. transversa′s reorientation angle (maximum ability to rotate on the pedicle) decreases during ontogeny, from 180 degrees in juveniles to 10–20 degrees in individuals exceeding 5 mm, to complete cessation of rotation in individuals larger than 10 mm. Rotation ability is substantially reduced after T. transversa achieves the adult lophophore configuration and preferred orientation with respect to ambient water currents at a length of 2.5–5 mm. We hypothesize that the rotation angle of T. transversa is determined mainly by the position of ventral and dorsal points of attachment of dorsal pedicle muscles relative to the pedicle. T. transversa shows a close correlation between the ontogenetic change in reorientation angle and ontogeny of morphological traits that are related to points of attachment of dorsal pedicle muscles, although other morphological features can also limit rotation in the adult stage. The major morphological change in cardinalia shape and the observed reduction of rotation affect individuals 2.5–10 mm in length. The position of ventral insertions of dorsal pedicle muscles remains constant, but contraction of dorsal pedicle muscles is functionally handicapped because dorsal insertions shift away from the valve midline, rise above the dorsal valve floor, and become limited by a wide cardinal process early in ontogeny (<5 mm). The rate of increase of cardinal process width and of distance between dorsal pedicle muscle scars substantially decreases in the subadult stage (5–10 mm), and most of the cardinalia shell traits grow nearly isometrically in the adult stage (>10 mm). T. transversa attains smaller shell length in crevices than on exposed substrates. The proportion of small‐sized individuals and population density is lower on exposed substrates than in crevices, indicating higher juvenile mortality on substrates prone to grazing and physical disturbance. The loss of reorientation ability can be a consequence of morphological changes that strengthen substrate attachment and maximize protection against biotic or physical disturbance (1) by minimizing torques around the pedicle axis and/or (2) by shifting energy investments into attachment strength at the expense of the cost involved in reorientation. 相似文献

The mechanism of hydrolysis of RNA substrates—diribonucleoside monophosphate CpA and decaribonucleotide UUCAUGUAAA—by chemical
constructs functionally mimicking ribonuclease A was studied. It is shown that RNA cleavage by chemical RNases 2L2 and 2D3
proceeds similar to the RNase A-induced RNA hydrolysis through 2′,3′-cyclophosphate as an intermediate product. A comparison
of hydrolyses of CpA in water and D2O revealed an isotope effect (K
H/K
D=2.28), which implies acid-base catalysis at the limiting stage of the reaction. Two feasible mechanisms of RNA hydrolysis
by chemical RNases (linear and adjacent) are discussed. 相似文献
