Ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) kinase (ATP:D-ribulose 5-phosphate1-phosphotrans- ferase; EC 2.7.1.19
[EC]
), an enzyme in the reductivepentose phosphate cycle, was purified from the green alga Bryopsismaxima and its activity and peptide composition were studied.The specific activity of purified Ru5P kinase was 20 µmoleRuBP formed (mg protein)1 min1 corresponding toa 490-fold purification from the supernatant of chloroplasts.The Km values of Ru5P kinase for ATP and Ru5P were 69 µMand 330 µM, respectively. The molecular size of Ru5P kinase was estimated as 90 kDa bygel filtration and that of its polypeptide as 41 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis. A small portion of the Ru5P kinase wasfound in a large molecular state (500 kDa) which was consideredto be an inactive form of the enzyme. Ru5P kinase activity has been reported in the pyrenoid of Eremosphaeraviridis as well as ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase(RuBisCO) and ribose 5-phosphate isomerase activity (Holdsworth1971). In Bryopsis maxima, among the pyrenoid polypeptides otherthan that of RuBisCO, we found a polypeptide of 42 kDa, similarto that of Ru5P kinase in molecular size and ratio to RuBisCO.A peptide map of the 42 kDa pyrenoid polypeptide, however, showedthat it differed from that of Ru5P kinase. In conclusion, Ru5Pkinase may be not involved in the pyrenoid of this alga. (Received January 19, 1985; Accepted May 15, 1985) 相似文献

Structural and serological studies were performed with the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) expressed by Escherichia coli K12 strains No. 30 and No. 64, into which cosmid clones derived from Vibrio cholerae O1 NIH 41 (Ogawa) and NIH 35A3 (Inaba) had been introduced, respectively. The two recombinant strains, No. 30 (Ogawa) and No. 64 (Inaba), produced LPS that included, in common, the O-polysaccharide chain composed of an α(1 → 2)-linked N-(3-deoxy-L -glycero-tetronyl)-D -perosamine (4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D -manno-pyranose) homopolymer attached to the core oligosaccharide of the LPS of E. coli K12. Structural analysis revealed the presence of N-(3-deoxy-L -glycero-tetronyl)-2-O-methyl-D -perosamine at the non-reducing terminus of the O-polysaccharide chain of LPS from No. 30 (Ogawa) but not from No. 64 (Inaba). Serological analysis revealed that No. 30 (Ogawa) and No. 64 (Inaba) LPS were found to share the group antigen factor A of V. cholerae O1. They were distinguished by presence of the Ogawa antigen factor B [co-existing with relatively small amounts of the Inaba antigen factor (c)] in the former LPS and the Inaba antigen factor C in the latter LPS. It appears, therefore, that No. 30 (Ogawa) and No. 64 (Inaba) have O-antigenic structures that are fully consistent with the AB(c) structure for the Ogawa and the AC structure for the Inaba O-forms of V. cholerae O1, respectively. Thus, the present study clearly confirmed our previous finding that the Ogawa antigenic factor B is substantially related to the 2-O-methyl group at the non-reducing terminus of the α(1 → 2)-linked N-(3-deoxy-L -glycero-tetronyl)-D -perosamine homopolymer that forms the O-polysaccharide chain of LPS of V. cholerae O1 (Ogawa). 相似文献

In order to investigate the role of the c- kit oncogene in the melanoblast development, a rat monoclonal antibody (ACK2) against the mouse c-kit protein was used to localize cells expressing c-kit during fetal development. ACK2 was also injected directly into the amniotic cavity of mouse fetuses at successive developmental stages. After birth, the offspring were examined to determine the resulting coat color patterns. c-kit positive melanoblasts first appeared in dermis of fetuses at 11.5 days postcoitum (dpc). Subsequently, these cells increased in number and migrated dorsolaterally to the ventral region, and by 12.5 dpc some of them began to invade the epidermis. Treatment of fetuses by ACK2 microinjection appeared to affect the pigmentation in the coat, inducing a variety of spotting patterns in offspring, and the location of the spots was closely correlated with gestational stage. ACK2 injection of early fetuses produced major changes in coat color even though few c-kit positive cells were detectable in the dermal mesenchyme at the time of injection. Large spots were also induced when mid-stage fetuses with a only few c-kit positive cells in the dorsal region were injected. By contrast, except for spot formation in the center of ventral region, ACK2 injection did not appear to affect melanogenesis in late stage fetuses that had many c-kit positive cells. 相似文献

In this study the cellular mechanisms of male sterility in F1 hybrids (BNF1) between BALB/c and wild-derived M.MUS-NJL (NJL) was investigated. Cell proliferation and differentiation in the sterile testis were examined by bromodeoxyuridine-labeling and use of germ cell stage-specific antibodies. In BNF1 testes, spermatogonia actively proliferated with a seminiferous epithelial cycle, and were retained in the basal layer of the tubules. However, preleptotene, leptotene and zygotene spermatocytes moved to the adluminal region. Immunohistological data with germ cell stage-specific antibodies indicated the presence of few, if any, pachytene spermatocytes in BNF1 testes. Thus, spermatogenesis seemed to be blocked at the zygotene stage. For examination of germ cell-Sertoli cell interactions, testes of aggregation chimeras between BNF1 and C3H/HeN were analyzed immunohistologically with C3H-specific antibody. Results showed that spermatogenesis of C3H-germ cells was normal, even when these cells in contact with BNF1-Sertoli cells. Differentiation of BNF1-germ cells progressed from zygotene to pachytene stage spermatocytes when these cells were surrounded by C3H-Sertoli cells, but never proceeded beyond the pachytene stage. These observations suggest that at least two different cellular factors may be involved in spermatogenesis, one acting in the germ cells and the other mediated by Sertoli cells. Furthermore, mating experiments revealed that the degree of spermatogenesis varied in different F1 hybrids, and that the major sterility factor was closely linked to the T -locus on chromosome 17. 相似文献

In cultures of Vibrio cholerae strains of Ogawa serotype, variant strains which had undergone serotype conversion from Ogawa to Inaba were identified. The rfbT genes cloned from the parent strains were found to produce a 31-kDa protein in the maxicell system, and to cause serotype conversion when introduced into E. coli cells expressing Inaba serotype specificity. On the other hand, rfbT genes cloned from the variant strains neither produced the 31-kDa protein nor caused serotype conversion. Nucleotide sequence of these rfbT genes as well as those of two clinical Vibrio cholerae strains of Inaba serotype revealed that mutations causing premature termination of their rfbT genes were invariably present in strains expressing Inaba serotype specificity. The result strongly suggested that genetic alteration of the rfbT gene is responsible for serotype conversion of Vibrio cholerae O1. 相似文献

The expression of tenascin (TN) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc and synovial membrane was examined in 18 human
TMJ samples from patients with internal derangement of the TMJ and ten control specimens by an immunohistological technique
using paraffin-embedded tissue and specific anti-human TN monoclonal antibody (RCB-1). The expression of TN was observed in
all 28 samples, but it was limited to the walls of blood vessels, the perineurium, and the surface of the TMJ disc. The expression
of TN was diffuse in the stroma of mildly hypertrophic synovial membranes and focal in the surface of severely hypertrophic
synovial membranes. The clinical symptoms of internal derangement of the TMJ are thought to be related to the degree of synovitis.
The present study demonstrates that TN is expressed specifically in the portion of the TMJ synovial membrane affected with
internal derangement.

Temporal changes in mitotic frequency were examined in various tissues through late larval life of Bombyx mori. From the second larval ecdysis to the third and from the third larval ecdysis to the fourth, there was a definite temporal change of mitotic pattern in each tissue. In the epidermis as well as in the tracheal epithelium, mitoses began to appear about 1 day after an ecdysis, and showed a maximum 1 to 2 days after an ecdysis. In the fat body, mitoses were observed continuously through the instars, and the mitotic frequency showed a maximum state just before an ecdysis. In the abdominal muscle the frequency was highest at about the middle of the period between two successive ecdyses. Furthermore, epidermal mitoses coincided with the time when the density of epidermal nuclei per unit area decreased to a half. This suggests that epidermal mitoses may be initiated by some process related to the increase in cell size. 相似文献

Background
The spread of MRSA strains at hospitals as well as in the community are of great concern worldwide. We characterized the MRSA clones isolated at Tunisian hospitals and in the community by comparing them to those isolated in other countries.Results
We characterized 69 MRSA strains isolated from two Tunisian university hospitals between the years 2004-2008. Twenty-two of 28 (79%) community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) strains and 21 of 41 (51%) healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) strains were PVL-positive. The PVL-positive strains belonged to predicted founder group (FG) 80 in MLST and carried either type IVc SCCmec or nontypeable SCCmec that harbours the class B mec gene complex. In contrast, very diverse clones were identified in PVL-negative strains: three FGs (5, 15, and 22) for HA-MRSA strains and four FGs (5, 15, 45, and 80) for CA-MRSA strains; and these strains carried the SCCmec element of either type I, III, IVc or was nontypeable. The nucleotide sequencing of phi7401PVL lysogenized in a CA-MRSA strain JCSC7401, revealed that the phage was highly homologous to phiSA2mw, with nucleotide identities of more than 95%. Furthermore, all PVL positive strains were found to carry the same PVL phage, since these strains were positive in two PCR studies, identifying gene linkage between lukS and mtp (major tail protein) and the lysogeny region, both of which are in common with phi7401PVL and phiSa2mw.Conclusions
Our experiments suggest that FG80 S. aureus strains have changed to be more virulent by acquiring phi7401PVL, and to be resistant to β-lactams by acquiring SCCmec elements. These novel clones might have disseminated in the Tunisian community as well as at the Tunisian hospitals by taking over existing MRSA clones.9.

The free amino acids of potatoes irradiated with the doses of 7,000, 15,000 and 30,000 rad were determined by ion-exchange chromatography.After 15 days storage following irradiation, it was shown that the concentration of asparatic acid, proline and aliphatic amino acids increased with increasing irradiation doses, while that of basic amino acids and glutamic acid especially decreased. However, after 105 days of storage, the similarity of the free amino acid content of irradiated potatoes to that of non-irradiated and non-stored potatoes was observed.On the concentration of protein-bound amino acids, there were no significant differences between non-irradiated and 15,000 rad irradiated potatoes. 相似文献

Identification in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus hominis of an active primordial mobile genetic element for the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文

We previously reported that the methicillin resistance gene mecA is carried by a novel type of mobile genetic element, SCCmec (staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec), in the chromosome of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These elements are precisely excised from the chromosome and integrated into a specific site on the recipient chromosome by a pair of recombinase proteins encoded by the cassette chromosome recombinase genes ccrA and ccrB. In the present work, we detected homologues of the ccr genes in Staphylococcus hominis type strain GIFU12263 (equivalent to ATCC 27844), which is susceptible to methicillin. Sequence determination revealed that the ccr homologues in S. hominis were type 1 ccr genes (ccrA1 and ccrB1) that were localized on a genetic element structurally very similar to SCCmec except for the absence of the methicillin-resistance gene, mecA. This genetic element had mosaic-like patterns of homology with extant SCCmec elements, and we designated it SCC(12263) and considered it a type I staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC). The ccrB1 gene identified in the S. hominis strain is the first type 1 ccrB gene discovered to retain its function through the excision process as judged by two criteria: (i) SCC(12263) was spontaneously excised during cultivation of the strain and (ii) introduction of the S. hominis ccrB1 into an MRSA strain carrying a type I SCCmec whose ccrB1 gene is inactive generated SCCmec excisants at a high frequency. The existence of an SCC without a mec determinant is indicative of a staphylococcal site-specific mobile genetic element that serves as a vehicle of transfer for various genetic markers between staphylococcal species. 相似文献
