Chromosomal damage was detected previously in the recBCD mutants of the Antarctic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae Lz4W, which accumulated linear chromosomal DNA leading to cell death and growth inhibition at 4°C. RecBCD protein generally repairs DNA double‐strand breaks by RecA‐dependent homologous recombination pathway. Here we show that ΔrecA mutant of P. syringae is not cold‐sensitive. Significantly, inactivation of additional DNA repair genes ruvAB rescued the cold‐sensitive phenotype of ΔrecBCD mutant. The ΔrecA and ΔruvAB mutants were UV‐sensitive as expected. We propose that, at low temperature DNA replication encounters barriers leading to frequent replication fork (RF) arrest and fork reversal. RuvAB binds to the reversed RFs (RRFs) having Holliday junction‐like structures and resolves them upon association with RuvC nuclease to cause linearization of the chromosome, a threat to cell survival. RecBCD prevents this by degrading the RRFs, and facilitates replication re‐initiation. This model is consistent with our observation that low temperature‐induced DNA lesions do not evoke SOS response in P. syringae. Additional studies show that two other repair genes, radA (encoding a RecA paralogue) and recF are not involved in providing cold resistance to the Antarctic bacterium. 相似文献

Recombinant α-Savaria globin (αS49R) was assembled with βS chains by the alloplex intermediate pathway to generate tetrameric rHbS-Sarvaria (α2S49Rβ2E6V) that exhibited normal O2 affinity and co-operatively at pH 7.4. Allosteric effectors, 2,3-DPG, L35, and NaCl increased O2 affinity by 15%. Bohr effects were similar for rHbS-Savaria and HbS (0.38 ± 0.025 vs. 0.46 ± 0.03, respectively). The CSAT of HbS increased from 16.7 ± 0.8 to 27.0 ± 1.0 g/dL. Co-polymerization demonstrated inhibition predominantly by the Cis-dimer.
Molecular modeling indicated that the positive charge at α-49 generated a strong anion-binding site and reduced flexibility
of the CD-region by restricting movement in the E and F helices. The molecular distance between Arg-49 and Asn-78 in the neighboring
double strand decreased, and electrostatic repulsion between the inter-double strands increased, resulting in inhibition of
polymerization. The Savaria mutation may be useful for the design of super-inhibitory α-chains and gene therapy of sickle
cell anemia. 相似文献

We have previously shown that a major phosphorylated 25-kDa glycoprotein of the human peripheral nerve binds to Mycobacterium leprae. In the present study, we confirm that the 25-kDa glycoprotein of the human peripheral nerve is myelin P zero (P0) by immunoprecipitation and Western blot experiments using monoclonal antibodies to myelin P0. Immunohistochemical studies on human nerve using these antibodies to myelin P0 exhibited a strong immunoreactivity to the myelin and Schwann cells. Myelin P0 is a peripheral nerve specific protein; therefore it could likely be one of the key target molecules for M. leprae binding/internalization or even contact-dependent demyelination. This finding of M. leprae binding to myelin P0 adds to the present understanding on neural predilection of M. leprae. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP and cell swelling stimulate hepatic Na+/TC cotransport and Ntcp translocation via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway. To determine the downstream target of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase action, we examined the role of protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt using SB203580 in hepatocytes as well as by transfection with a dominant negative (DN-PKB) or a constitutively active (CA-PKB) form of PKB in HuH-Ntcp cells. Both cAMP and cell swelling stimulated p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase as well as PKB activity. Although 100 microm SB203580 inhibited cell swelling- and 8-chlorophenylthio-cAMP-induced activation of both p38 MAP kinase and PKB, 1 microm SB203580 inhibited activation of p38 MAP kinase, but not of PKB, in hepatocytes. 100 microm, but not 1 microm SB203580, inhibited cell swelling- and cAMP-induced increases in taurocholate (TC) uptake and Ntcp translocation in hepatocytes. TC uptake in HuH-Ntcp cells was more than 90% dependent on extracellular Na+. Cyclic AMP and cell swelling increased TC uptake by 50-100% and PKB activity 2-4-fold in HuH-Ntcp cells transfected with the empty vector and failed to increase PKB activity, TC uptake, and Ntcp translocation in DN-PKB-transfected HuH-Ntcp cells. Transfection with CA-PKB increased PKB activity, TC uptake, and Ntcp translocation in HuH-Ntcp cells compared with cells transfected with the empty vector. In contrast, transfection with DN-PKB did not affect basal PKB activity, TC uptake, or Ntcp translocation. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that cell swelling and cAMP-mediated stimulation of hepatic Na+/TC cotransport and Ntcp translocation requires activation of PKB and is mediated at least in part via a phosphoinositide 3-kinase/PKB-signaling pathway. 相似文献

The effect of cercal deafferentation (cercectomy) on the ganglionic protein metabolism of the cricket, Gryllotalpa africana was studied. Significant changes in the activities of the enzymes acetylcholinesterase, glutamate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were observed in the terminal ganglion following unilateral and bilateral cercectomy. 相似文献

Oxanine (Oxa), which is one of the major products generated from guanine by nitrosative oxidation and is as long-lived as Gua in DNA, has been thought to be one of the major causes for NO-induced DNA damage. In the present study, using several synthetic Oxa-containing oligodeoxynucleotides, biophysical stability and enzymatic recognition of Oxa was investigated in DNA strands. It was found that Oxa did not mediate marked distortion in the whole DNA structure although Oxa pairing with 4 normal bases decreased thermal stability of the DNA duplexes compared to Gua:Cyt base pair. Regarding the responses of the DNA-relevant enzymes to Oxa, it was determined that Oxa was recognized as Gua except that DNA polymerases incorporated Thy as well as Cyt opposite Oxa. These results imply that Oxa tends to behave as a kind of naturally occurring base, Gua and therefore, would be involved in the genotoxic and cytotoxic threats of NO in cellular system. 相似文献

We introduce a new approach to learning statistical models from multiple sequence alignments (MSA) of proteins. Our method, called GREMLIN (Generative REgularized ModeLs of proteINs), learns an undirected probabilistic graphical model of the amino acid composition within the MSA. The resulting model encodes both the position-specific conservation statistics and the correlated mutation statistics between sequential and long-range pairs of residues. Existing techniques for learning graphical models from MSA either make strong, and often inappropriate assumptions about the conditional independencies within the MSA (e.g., Hidden Markov Models), or else use suboptimal algorithms to learn the parameters of the model. In contrast, GREMLIN makes no a priori assumptions about the conditional independencies within the MSA. We formulate and solve a convex optimization problem, thus guaranteeing that we find a globally optimal model at convergence. The resulting model is also generative, allowing for the design of new protein sequences that have the same statistical properties as those in the MSA. We perform a detailed analysis of covariation statistics on the extensively studied WW and PDZ domains and show that our method out-performs an existing algorithm for learning undirected probabilistic graphical models from MSA. We then apply our approach to 71 additional families from the PFAM database and demonstrate that the resulting models significantly out-perform Hidden Markov Models in terms of predictive accuracy. 相似文献
