Background
Tenascins are a family of glycoproteins found primarily in the extracellular matrix of embryos where they help to regulate cell proliferation, adhesion and migration. In order to learn more about their origins and relationships to each other, as well as to clarify the nomenclature used to describe them, the tenascin genes of the urochordate Ciona intestinalis, the pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis and Takifugu rubripes and the frog Xenopus tropicalis were identified and their gene organization and predicted protein products compared with the previously characterized tenascins of amniotes. 相似文献2.
Effect of Glutaraldehyde on the Outer Layers of Escherichia coli 总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1
S ummary : Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) at pH 3 and 8 lysed cell walls of Escherichia coli. Pretreatment with glutaraldehyde at pH 3 and at pH 8 prevented this lysis. SLS induced maximum lysis of E. coli cells at 40°; pretreatment of cells with glutaraldehyde prevented this lysis also. Electrophoretic studies indicated that glutaraldehyde accumu lated on the surface of E. coli cells more rapidly in acid than in alkaline conditions, and that it blocked amino groups on the surface layer of Bacillus subtilis spores. The relationship of these findings to the bactericidal efficiency of glutaraldehyde in acid and alkaline solution is discussed. 相似文献

Activity-dependent protein phosphorylation is a highly dynamic yet tightly regulated process essential for cellular signaling. Although recognized as critical for neuronal functions, the extent and stoichiometry of phosphorylation in brain cells remain undetermined. In this study, we resolved activity-dependent changes in phosphorylation stoichiometry at specific sites in distinct subcellular compartments of brain cells. Following highly sensitive phosphopeptide enrichment using immobilized metal affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry, we isolated and identified 974 unique phosphorylation sites on 499 proteins, many of which are novel. To further explore the significance of specific phosphorylation sites, we used isobaric peptide labels and determined the absolute quantity of both phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides of candidate phosphoproteins and estimated phosphorylation stoichiometry. The analyses of phosphorylation dynamics using differentially stimulated synaptic terminal preparations revealed activity-dependent changes in phosphorylation stoichiometry of target proteins. Using this method, we were able to differentiate between distinct isoforms of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) and identify a novel activity-regulated phosphorylation site on the glutamate receptor subunit GluR1. Together these data illustrate that mass spectrometry-based methods can be used to determine activity-dependent changes in phosphorylation stoichiometry on candidate phosphopeptides following large scale phosphoproteome analysis of brain tissue. 相似文献

We describe a statistical measure, Mass Distance Fingerprint, for automatic de novo detection of predominant peptide mass distances, i.e., putative protein modifications. The method's focus is to globally detect mass differences, not to assign peptide sequences or modifications to individual spectra. The Mass Distance Fingerprint is calculated from high accuracy measured peptide masses. For the data sets used in this study, known mass differences are detected at electron mass accuracy or better. The proposed method is novel because it works independently of protein sequence databases and without any prior knowledge about modifications. Both modified and unmodified peptides have to be present in the sample to be detected. The method can be used for automated detection of chemical/post-translational modifications, quality control of experiments and labeling approaches, and to control the modification settings of protein identification tools. The algorithm is implemented as a web application and is distributed as open source software. 相似文献

Oocyte control of granulosa and theca cell function may be mediated by several growth factors via a local feedback loop(s)
between these cell types. This study examined both the role of oocyte-secreted factors on granulosa and thecal cells, cultured
independently and in co-culture, and the effect of stem cell factor (SCF); a granulosa cell derived peptide that appears to
have multiple roles in follicle development. Granulosa and theca cells were isolated from 2–6 mm healthy follicles of mature
porcine ovaries and cultured under serum-free conditions, supplemented with: 100 ng/ml LR3 IGF-1, 10 ng/ml insulin, 100 ng/ml
testosterone, 0–10 ng/ml SCF, 1 ng/ml FSH (granulosa), 0.01 ng/ml LH (theca) or 1 ng/ml FSH and 0.01 ng/ml LH (co-culture)
and with/without oocyte conditioned medium (OCM) or 5 oocytes. Cells were cultured in 96 well plates for 144 h, after which
viable cell numbers were determined. Medium was replaced every 48 h and spent medium analysed for steroids. 相似文献

The relationship between intracellular lysosomal rupture and cell death caused by silica was studied in P388d(1) macrophages. After 3 h of exposure to 150 μg silica in medium containing 1.8 mM Ca(2+), 60 percent of the cells were unable to exclude trypan blue. In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), however, all of the cells remained viable. Phagocytosis of silica particles occurred to the same extent in the presence or absence of Ca(2+). The percentage of P388D(1) cells killed by silica depended on the dose and the concentration of Ca(2+) in the medium. Intracellular lyosomal rupture after exposure to silica was measured by acridine orange fluorescence or histochemical assay of horseradish peroxidase. With either assay, 60 percent of the cells exposed to 150 μg silica for 3 h in the presence of Ca(2+) showed intracellular lysosomal rupture, was not associated with measureable degradation of total DNA, RNA, protein, or phospholipids or accelerated turnover of exogenous horseradish peroxidase. Pretreatment with promethazine (20 μg/ml) protected 80 percent of P388D(1) macrophages against silica toxicity although lysosomal rupture occurred in 60-70 percent of the cells. Intracellular lysosomal rupture was prevented in 80 percent of the cells by pretreatment with indomethacin (5 x 10(-5)M), yet 40-50 percent of the cells died after 3 h of exposure to 150 μg silica in 1.8 mM extracellular Ca(2+). The calcium ionophore A23187 also caused intracellular lysosomal rupture in 90-98 percent of the cells treated for 1 h in either the presence or absence of extracellular Ca(2+). With the addition of 1.8 mM Ca(2+), 80 percent of the cells was killed after 3 h, whereas all of the cells remained viable in the absence of Ca(2+). These experiments suggest that intracellular lysosomal rupture is not causally related to the cell death cause by silica or . Cell death is dependent on extracellular Ca(2+) and may be mediated by an influx of these ions across the plasma membrane permeability barrier damaged directly by exposure to these toxins. A23187相似文献

An improved moving chart recording of intensity/time of tasteresponse has been achieved using a potentiometer dialbox linked by a cable to a Telsec recorder. The deviceallows rates of taste response to be determined and is describedas a Sensory Measuring Unit for Recording Flux (SMURF) on theassumption that the flux of stimuli at the taste receptor isresponsible for the time course of response. Fourteen trained and sixteen untrained panellists evaluatedone standard and four unknown sucrose solutions using the SMURFand determined their intensity and persistence time of responsefor each of these same solutions by conventional interval scalingand use of a stop-clock. The SMURF gave results which were higher(but not significantly so) than the conventional method. Trainedpanellists tended to prefer the SMURF and found it quicker andeasier to use than the conventional method. Untrained panelliststended to prefer the conventional method but these results weregenerally not significant. The SMURF is therefore an extremelyuseful device in reducing time and effort whilst still maintainingaccuracy in the measurement of intensity and time of taste response. The SMURF was also used to obtain intensity/time data for threeother sugars so that a comparison between the sugars could bemade. 相似文献

The effect of solR inactivation on the metabolism of Clostridium acetobutylicum was examined using fermentation characterization and metabolic flux analysis. The solR-inactivated strain (SolRH) of this study had a higher rate of glucose utilization and produced higher solvent concentrations
(by 25%, 14%, and 81%, respectively, for butanol, acetone, and ethanol) compared to the wild type. Strain SolRH(pTAAD), carrying
a plasmid-encoded copy of the bifunctional alcohol/aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (aad) used in butanol production, produced even higher concentrations of solvents (by 21%, 45%, and 62%, respectively, for butanol,
acetone, and ethanol) than strain SolRH. Clarithromycin used for strain SolRH maintenance during SolRH(pTAAD) fermentations
did not alter product formation; however, tetracycline used for pTAAD maintenance resulted in 90% lower solvent production.
