Telomeres, nucleoprotein structures at the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes, are crucial for the maintenance of genome integrity. In most plants, telomeres consist of conserved tandem repeat units comprising the TTTAGGG motif. Recently, non‐canonical telomeres were described in several plants and plant taxons, including the carnivorous plant Genlisea hispidula (TTCAGG/TTTCAGG), the genus Cestrum (Solanaceae; TTTTTTAGGG), and plants from the Asparagales order with either a vertebrate‐type telomere repeat TTAGGG or Allium genus‐specific CTCGGTTATGGG repeat. We analyzed epigenetic modifications of telomeric histones in plants with canonical and non‐canonical telomeres, and further in telomeric chromatin captured from leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana transiently transformed by telomere CRISPR‐dCas9‐eGFP, and of Arabidopsis thaliana stably transformed with TALE_telo C‐3×GFP. Two combinatorial patterns of telomeric histone modifications were identified: (i) an Arabidopsis‐like pattern (A. thaliana, G. hispidula, Genlisea nigrocaulis, Allium cepa, Narcissus pseudonarcissus, Petunia hybrida, Solanum tuberosum, Solanum lycopersicum) with telomeric histones decorated predominantly by H3K9me2; (ii) a tobacco‐like pattern (Nicotiana tabacum, N. benthamiana, C. elegans) with a strong H3K27me3 signal. Our data suggest that epigenetic modifications of plant telomere‐associated histones are related neither to the sequence of the telomere motif nor to the lengths of the telomeres. Nor the phylogenetic position of the species plays the role; representatives of the Solanaceae family are included in both groups. As both patterns of histone marks are compatible with fully functional telomeres in respective plants, we conclude that the described specific differences in histone marks are not critical for telomere functions. 相似文献

As with chromosomal DNA, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can contain mutations that are highly pathogenic .In fact, many diseases
of the central nervous system are known to be caused by mutations in mtDNA. Dysfunction of the mitochondrial Respiratory Chain
(RC) has been shown in patients with neurological disease including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and
Multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a demyelinating disease of central nervous system characterized by morphological hallmarks
of inflammation, demyelination and axonal loss. Considering this importance, we decided to investigate several highly mutative
parts of mtDNA for point mutations as MT-LTI (tRNALeucine1(UUA/G)), MT-NDI (NADH Dehydrogenase subunit 1), MT-COII (Cytochrome c oxidase subunit II), MT-TK (tRNALysine), MT-ATP8 (ATP synthase subunit F0 8) and MT-ATP6 (ATP synthase subunit F0 6) in 20 Iranian MS patients and 80 age-matched
control subjects by PCR and automated DNA sequencing to evaluate any probable point mutations. Our results revealed that 15
(75%) out of 20 MS patients had point mutations. Some of point mutations were newly found in this study. This study suggested
that point mutation occurred in mtDNA might be involved in pathogenesis of MS. 相似文献

A combination of vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and preparative thin layer chromatography (PTLC) of the dichloromethane extract of the aerial parts of the Iranian plant Pimpinella aurea afforded two phenylpropanoids, erythro-1'-(4-methoxyphenyl)-propan-1',2'-diol (1) and erythro-1'-[4-(sec-butyl)-phenyl]-propan-1',2'-diol (2), the latter being a natural product. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic means. The antioxidant properties of these compounds were assessed by the DPPH assay. The GC-MS analysis of the essential oils of P. aurea provided a chemical profile that was significantly different from the previously published reports. 相似文献

Introduction
The current markers of disease activity in Takayasu arteritis (TA) are insufficient for proper assessment. We investigated circulating levels of unacylated and acylated ghrelin, leptin and adiponectin and their relationships with disease activity in patients with TA.Methods
This study included 31 patients with TA and 32 sex-, age- and body mass index-matched healthy controls. Disease activity was assessed in TA patients using various tools, including Kerr''s criteria, disease extent index-Takayasu, physician''s global assessment, radiological parameters, and laboratory markers. Plasma unacylated and acylated ghrelin, and serum leptin and adiponectin levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
Unacylated and acylated ghrelin levels were found to be significantly lower in TA patients than that in healthy controls. Patients with active disease had lower unacylated ghrelin levels than those with inactive disease and had lower acylated ghrelin levels than healthy controls. Ghrelin levels were negatively correlated with various parameters of disease activity. The leptin/ghrelin ratio was significantly higher in TA patients than controls. It was positively correlated with disease activity. There was a positive correlation between unacylated and acylated ghrelin and a negative correlation between leptin and ghrelin. There was no statistical difference in adiponectin levels between TA patients and controls. The radiological activity markers were positively correlated with other parameters of disease activity.Conclusions
This study suggests that plasma unacylated and acylated ghrelin levels may be useful in monitoring disease activity and planning treatment strategies for patients with TA. The serum leptin level and leptin/ghrelin ratio may also be used to help assess the disease activity. 相似文献9.

Huntington disease (HD) is a genetically dominant condition caused by expanded CAG repeats which code for glutamine in the
HD gene product, huntingtin. Huntingtin is expressed in almost all tissues, so abnormalities outside the brain can also be
expected. Involvement of nuclei and mitochondria in HD pathophysiology has been suggested. In fact mitochondrial dysfunction
is reported in brains of patients suffering from HD. The tRNA gene mutations are one of hot spots that can cause mitochondrial
disorders. In this study, possible mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage was evaluated by screening for mutations in the tRNAleu/lys and ATPase 6 genes of 20 patients with HD, using PCR and automated DNA sequencing. Mutations including an A8656G mutation
in one patient were observed, which may be causal to the disease. Understanding the role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis
of neurodegenerative diseases could potentially be important for the development of therapeutic strategies in HD. 相似文献
