Haustoria of two palm species, Phoenix dactylifera L. (date) and Washingtonia filifera (Lindl.) Wendl were carefully dissected from seeds, and the ultrastructural characteristics of the large, electron-opaque granules present in the cells of this tissue were compared using standard aldehyde and OsO4 fixations. In Washingtonia, the granules were smaller than those in date and were more variable in size and presence of non-opaque inclusions. All granules appeared to be membrane bounded although they often filled the bounded space. No protein, lipid, carbohydrate or tannins were found in the granules by standard staining procedures. The granules stained positively with two different metallic-phosphate stains which contained either bismuth or lead. Energy dispersive X-ray microprobe analysis, done on aldehyde-fixed granules and those stained with both phosphate stains, confirmed the fact that phosphorus and calcium were present in the granules. The granules also bound the metallic stains as expected. All procedures consistently confirmed the presence of phosphate in the granules. The data are most consistent with the hypothesis that the granules are composed of polyphosphate.Abbreviations and symbols EDAX energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis - K K shell peak - K K shell peak - L L shell peak - L L shell peak - M M shell peak  相似文献

Summary During high salinity stress, -alanine accumulates to high levels in the sea anemone,Bunodosoma cavernata. Following a salinity increase from 26 to 40 -alanine increased 28-fold from 1.5 to 41.9 moles/g dry weight. Both whole animal studies and experiments with cell free homogenates indicate that under high salinity conditions an increase in the rate of -alanine synthesis from aspartic acid as well as a decrease in the rate of -alanine oxidation are responsible for the observed accumulation of -alanine. The rate of aspartic acid decarboxylation to -alanine is about 3 times greater in anemones acclimated to 40 than for those in normal salinity water (26). -alanine oxidation to CO2 and acetyl-CoA proceeds 2.5 to 3 times slower in high salinity adaptedB. cavernata than in those acclimated to normal salinity. There is always a rapid degradation of uracil to -alanine, but this does not change with salinity.Abbreviations CASF cold acid soluble fraction - FAA free amino acids - MES 2(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid - NPS ninhydrin positive substances - PCA perchloric acid - TCA trichloroacetic acid  相似文献

Summary The influence of mutations in structural genes of and subunits of RNA polymerase upon the synthesis of these subunits in E. coli cells have been investigated. An amber-mutation ts22 in the subunit gene decreases the intracellular concentration of this subunit and the rate of its synthesis. At the same time the concentration and the rate of subunit synthesis is increased. These suggest the compensatory activation of the RNA polymerase operon that takes place under the conditions of shortage of one of the subunits. Reversions, as well as more effective supression of ts22 amber mutation, achieved by streptomycin addition, substitution of su2 by su1, or by specific mutations, result in a rise of and drop of subunit concentration and synthesis in ts22 mutant. TsX missense-mutation in the subunit gene alters the properties of the enzyme increasing, at the same time, the concentration and the rate of synthesis of both and subunits, particularly at a nonpermissive temperature. This points to an inversely proportional relationship between the rate of synthesis of RNA polymerase subunits and the total intracellular activity of the enzyme. Extra subunits are rapidly degraded in ts22 and tsX mutants.The whole complex of our data and those of others suggest that the regulation of the synthesis of RNA polymerase subunits is accomplished by interaction of a negative and a positive mechanisms of regulation which include not only activators and repressors but the enzyme itself as well.  相似文献

The gene encoding -mannanase was cloned from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. AM-001 into Escherichia coli JM 101 by inserting HindIII-generated DNA fragments into the HindIII site of pUC19. A 2.0 kb XbaI-PstI fragment of the donor strain DNA was sufficient for -mannanase synthesis. The amount of -mannanase expressed in E. coli JM101 harboring pMAH3 (containing a 2.4 kb XbaI-HindIII fragment) was about 24% of the activity produced by the donor strain. E. coli JM101 harboring pMAH3 was found to produce two enzymatically active -mannanases (A and B). These two -mannanases were purified to electrophoretically homogenous states. The -mannanase A had enzymatic properties similar to those of the -mannanases M-I and M-II produced by alkalophilic Bacillus sp. AM-001, and the -mannanase B resembled its -mannanase M-III. In contrast to -mannanase production in the donor strain, that in E. coli was not inducible. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences from amino acid 1 (Asn) to 9 (Gln) of the three -mannanases purified from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. AM-001 coincide with those from amino acid 4 (Asn) to 12 (Gln) of the two -mannanases purified from E. coli transformant.  相似文献

Summary Crude homogenate of thermophilic archaebacteriumSulfolobus solfataricus, possessing a -glycosidase, has been used to synthesize different alkyl -D-glycosides starting from phenyl -D-glucoside, phenyl -D-galactoside and lactose as carbohydrate donors. High product yield (95% with respect to the carbohydrate donor) of octyl -D-glucoside has been obtained in a two-phase system containing 5% of water. The enantioselection for the galactosyl transfer to the secondary hydroxyl group of propane-1,2-diol is higher than that found using -galactosidase fromE. coli.  相似文献

Summary Cell-wall-softening enzymes affect the plasticity of the tip wall of pollen tubes and modity tube elongation. Length of pear pollen tubes is increased by the addition of -1,3-glucanase at the beginning of in-vitro germination. The longer tubes after 3 hours are primarily the result of earlier germination. Application of -1,4-glucanase or pectinase to germinating pollen does not affect germination but enhances the growth rate of 1-hour-old pollen tubes. The stimulating effects of -1,4-glucanase and pectinase are additive. Denatured enzymes had no effect. Proteinase, pectin esterase, acid phosphatase and -amylase only inhibited growth and germination. Replacing the medium 1 hour after germination begins stops pollen-tube growth; growth can be restored by adding cellulase-pectinase mixtures to the replacement medium. These results provide evidence that cellulase and pectinase are important in pollen-wall extension, and that callose-hydrolyzing enzymes are involved in pollen germination but not wall extension.A contribution of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, Journal Series No. 3069.  相似文献

Poly-N-acetyllactosamines provide backbone structures for functional modifications such as sialyl Lewis X. To understand how the biosynthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamines is regulated, two branched oligosaccharides of the structure Gal1,4GlcNAc1, 6(Gal1,4GlcNAc1,2)-Man1,6Man-octyl 1 and 2 were synthesized in which one of the terminal galactose units was selectively radiolabeled. Hexasaccharides 1 and 2 were assembled from the chemically synthesized pentasaccharide precursors GlcNAc1,6(Gal1,4GlcNAc1,2)-Man1,6Man-octyl3 and Gal1,4GlcNAc1,6(GlcNAc1, 2) - Man1,6 Man-octyl 4 respectively, through treatment with UDP-1-[3H]-Gal and 1,4 galactosyltransferase. Compounds 1 and 2 were subsequently incubated with UDP-GlcNAc and the UDP-GlcNAc: Gal1-4Glc(NAc)1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (i-GlcNAc transferase) resulting in a partial conversion to a mixture of heptasaccharides which were purified by HPLC. The branch selectivity of the addition of N-acetylglucosamine to compounds 1 and 2 was then characterized by endo--galactosidase digestion of the heptasaccharides, followed by isolation of the resultant pentasaccharides on C18 reverse-phase silica cartridges. Comparison of the amount of radiolabel to a control reaction lacking endo--galactosidase indicated the favored site of GlcNAc addition to be the lower 1,2-branch over the 1,6-branch by a 3:1 ratio.  相似文献

Two new asterosaponins, (20R)-3-O--D-(2-O-methylxylopyranosyl)-24-propylcholest-4-ene-3,6,8,15,16,29-hexaol (sanguinoside A) and (20R,24S)-3-O--D-(2,3,4-tri-O-methylxylopyranosyl)-5-cholestane-3,4,6,8,15,24-hexaol (sanguinoside B), were isolated from two species of Pacific Far Eastern Starfish Henricia sanguinolenta and H. leviuscula leviuscula, collected in the Sea of Okhotsk. Both glycosides contain aglycones with pentahydroxysteroid nuclei of similar structures, which are substituted at the 3-hydroxy group with differently methylated -D-xylosyl residues. Sanguinoside A has an unusual structure of its aglycone side chain, whereas sanguinoside B has a unique permethylated carbohydrate chain. In addition, laevisculoside G, a known glycoside, was identified in the H. leviuscula starfish. The structures of the isolated glycosides were established by interpreting their spectral data and by comparing their spectral characteristics with those of known compounds.  相似文献

Synopsis This article reports the application of Hayashi's histochemical technique for -glucoronidase to mouse epididymis. A methodological study. which established optimal conditions for demonstrating the enzyme in this organ, is reported. The distribution pattern of -glucuronidase is described and correlated with previous data for -naphtyl acetate esterase. Differences between sites of granular and diffuse reaction product for these two enzymes are recorded. Possible interpretations of these findings in terms of intracellular localization of enzymes are discussed. Studies on different strains reveal regular differences in histochemical organization between mice of various genotypes. Histochemical data which imply androgen inducibility of -glucuronidase in mouse epididymis are preliminarily noted.

Changes in body temperature (Tb) and feeding were characterized in unrestrained rats following the micro-injection into the anterior hypothalamic preoptic area (AH/POA) of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1), MIP-1 or MIP-1. After the rats recovered from the stereotaxic implantation of a single guide tube placed in the AH/POA, either one of the MIP-1 compounds or control CSF was micro-injected in a volume of 1.0 l into this area. Changes in body temperature (Tb) and food and water intakes were monitored throughout each experiment. When micro-injected into the AH/POA in a dose of 28 or 280 pg, doublet MIP-1 and MIP-1 evoked a monophasic fever which increased above baseline to a mean maximum of 2.17±0.14°C and 2.1±0.24°C, respectively. MIP-1 micro-injected similarly evoked a biphasic fever, with the Tb declining transiently at the 30 min point 0.4°C lower than the congruent rises in Tb evoked by doublet MIP-1 or MIP-1. The secondary rise in Tb induced by MIP-1 had a latency of 1.5–2.0 hrs and reached a maximum of 1.56±0.16°C. Although all three cytokines significantly attentuated the rats' mean intake of food during the 24 hr interval after their micro-injection into the AH/POA, doublet MIP-1 exerted the most potent anorexic effect in comparison to that of the saline control rats. However, neither body weight nor intake of water was altered significantly by the three cytokines. These results demonstrate a functional distinction between the febrile actions of MIP-1 and MIP-1 on cells of the AH/POA. It is envisaged that MIP-1 underlies the initial phase of a pyrogen-induced fever, whereas MIP-1 could mediate the secondary phase of a biphasic fever. Clearly, the localized elevation of either MIP-1 or MIP-1 in the AH/POA perturbs the neuronal mechanism underlying the set-point for body temperature. Thus, both MIP-1 and MIP-1 could play a functional role in the pathological events occurring in neurons of the AH/POA in response to an endotoxin or other pyrogen challenge.  相似文献

Integrins: cell adhesives and modulators of cell function   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Summary Integrins encompass a family of cell-surface molecules which play a crucial role in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interaction. Of these heterodimeric transmembrane glycoproteins (consisting of an and chain) as yet at least 20 different types have been described, all with a different pattern of reactivity with extracellular matrix components. In this review the cell and tissue distribution of the integrins is discussed, with special emphasis on immunohistochemical localization of the 1 integrins and the 64 integrin. The 1 integrins comprise a subfamily in which eight chains combine with one (the 1) chain. The 21, 31 and 61 and the 64 integrins are expressed on a wide variety of epithelia on the basolateral surface or exclusively on the basal surface facing the basement membrane (e.g. 61 and 64). Leucocyte integrins, which share a common 2 chain, occur almost exclusively on white blood cells and their precursors. The vitronectin receptors, which share a common v chain, occur in a wide variety of cell types. Integrins play a major role in the interaction of the cell with the extracellular matrix in order to create and maintain tissue architecture. It has become clear, however, that through integrin-ligand interaction cell function is also modulated. Furthermore, in pathological conditions integrins play a role of some significance. Integrins mediate leucocyte traffic in developing inflammatory processes and function in neoplastic growth when it comes to invasion and metastasis.  相似文献

Poly--hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) from crotonate-grown cultures of Syntrophomonas wolfei contained only the d-isomer of -hydroxybutyrate. The PHA from cultures grown with trans-2-pentenoate or one of several hexenoates as the substrate also contained small amounts (5%) of -hydroxypentanoate or -hydroxyhexanoate, respectively. Thus, some PHA was synthesized without cleavage of the carbon skeleton of the substrate, but the predominant route for PHA synthesis was by the condensation and subsequent reduction of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA). The ratio of the -hydroxypentanoate to the -hydroxybutyrate in PHA in pentenoate-grown cultures increased immediately after inoculation and then decreased as the amount of the -hydroxybutyrate in PHA increased. The amount of -hydroxypentanoate in the PHA did not markedly change throughout the remainder of growth. These data indicated that the unbroken carbon-chain was used for polymer production only in the early stages of growth and, later, polymer synthesis occurred by the condensation and reduction of acetyl-CoA molecules.  相似文献

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VDCC) are essential to neuronal maturation and differentiation. It is believed that important signaling information is encoded by VDCC-mediated calcium influx that has both spatial and temporal components. VDCC are multimeric complexes comprised of a pore-forming 1 subunit and auxiliary and 2/ subunits. Changes in the fractional contribution of distinct calcium conductances to the total calcium current have been noted in developing and differentiating neurons. These changes are anticipated to reflect the differential expression and localization of the pore-forming 1 subunits. However, as in vitro studies have established that regulates the channel properties and targeting of 1, attention has been directed toward the developmental expression and assembly of isoforms. Recently, changes in the component of the omega-conotoxin GVIA (CTX)-sensitive N-type VDCC have indicated differential assembly of 1B with in postnatal rat brain. In addition, unique properties of 4 have been noted with respect to its temporal pattern of expression and incorporation into N-type VDCC complexes. Therefore, the expression and assembly of specific 1/ complexes may reflect an elaborate cellular strategy for regulating VDCC diversity. The importance of these developmental findings is bolstered by a recent study which identified mutations in the 4 as the molecular defect in the mutant epileptic mouse (lethargic; lh/lh). As 4 is normally expressed in both forebrain and cerebellum, one may consider the impact of the loss of 4 upon VDCC assembly and activity. The importance of the lb and 4 isoforms to calcium channel maturation and assembly is discussed.  相似文献

The neutral carotenoids of wild-type Neurospora crassa and of carotenoid mutants at four discrete genetic loci were isolated using gradient elution chromatography on deactivated alumina columns. Carotenoids were identified by absorption spectrophotometry and thin layer cochromatography with carotenoid standards. Phytoene, phytofluene, -carotene, -carotene, neurosporene, torulene, lycopene, and 3,4-dehydrolycopene were isolated from wild type. Phytoene, phytofluene, -carotene, -carotene, neurosporene, -carotene, lycopene, and one unknown carotenoid, tentatively identified as 15,15-cis--carotene, were isolated from a yellow mutant, ylo-1. ylo-1 also contained residual carotenoids having similar absorption spectra to, but very different chromatographic behavior from, phytofluene, -carotene, -carotene, and lycopene. Albino and colored al-1 mutants contained large amounts of phytoene and only traces of other neutral carotenoids. Albino al-2 and al-3 mutants contained only traces of neutral carotenoids.  相似文献

The organization of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region in cattle was investigated by Southern blot analysis using human probes corresponding to DO, DP, DQ, and DR genes. Exon-specific probes were also employed to facilitate the assessment of the number of different bovine class II genes. The results indicated the presence of single DO and DR genes, at least three DR genes, while the number of DQ genes was found to vary between MHC haplotypes. Four DQ haplotypes, DQ 1 1 to DQ 2 4, possessed a single DQ and a single DQ gene whereas both these genes were duplicated in eight other haplotypes, DQ 3 5 to DQ 9 12. No firm evidence for the presence of bovine DP genes was obtained. The same human probes were also used to investigate the genetic polymorphism of bovine class II genes. DQ DQ , DR DR , and DO restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were resolved and in particular the DQ restriction fragment patterns were highly polymorphic. Comparison of the present result with the current knowledge of the class II region in other mammalian species suggested that the DO, DP, DQ, DR, and DZ subdivision of the class II region was established already in the ancestor of mammals. The DP genes appear to be the least conserved class II genes among mammalian species and may have been lost in cattle. The degree of polymorphism of different class II genes, as revealed by RFLP analyses, shows striking similarities between species.  相似文献

Following injection of newly formed female pupae or adult Drosophila with C 14 -labeled -alanine, appreciable labeled free -alanine was retained in the internal organs for at least 24 hr. Ebony retained most, while heterozygotes were intermediate. Part of the -alanine-2-C-labeled portion of the molecule was bound to the internal organs, especially the ovaries and mature egg follicles. Dissected normal pupal cuticles incorporate -alanine-1-C as directly related to the degree of tanning. KCN, ethanol, or air exclusion inhibit incorporation. Tan pigment and radioactivity are extractable from the cuticles by hydrazine-ethanol. A -alanine precursor is uracil. Injected -alanine immobilizes ebony, but not normal, flies (newly emerged) and inhibits glucose, but not glucose 6-phosphate metabolism. Desiccated ebony adults take up water more readily than normal adults.Aided by Public Health Service Award GM 12435.  相似文献

Negative-ion fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry has been used in the characterization of non-, mono-, di- and trisulfated disaccharides from heparin and heparan sulfate. The positional isomers of the sulfate group of monosulfated disaccharides were distinguished from each other by negative-ion fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectra, which provide an easy way of identifying the positional isomers. This fast atom bombardment collision induced dissociation mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry technique was also applied successfully to the characterization of di- and trisulfated disaccharides.Abbreviations FABMS fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry - CID collision induced dissociation - MIKE mass analysed ion kinetic energy - MS/MS mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - UA d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid - CS chondroitin sulfate - DS dermatan sulfate - HA hyaluronan - Hep heparin - HS heparan sulfate - UA(14) GlcNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcN6S 2-amino-2-deoxy-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcN 2-amino-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcN6S 2-amino-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcNS 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcNS6S 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNS 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNS6S 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA(13)GalNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-Gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-galatose - UA(13)GalNAc4S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-4-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA(13)GalNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA2S(13)GalNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-galactose - UA2S(13)GalNAc4S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-4-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA2S(13)GalNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA(13)GalNAcDiS 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-4,6-di-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA(13)GlcNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose.  相似文献

F1() complexes containing equimolar ratios of the and subunits have been shown to function as active ATPases, whereas individually isolated and subunits show no real ATPase activity. These results indicate that the single-copy subunits are not required for F1-ATPase activity. The minimal F1()-core complexes exhibit, however, lower rates and some different properties from those of their parent whole F1 or 33 complexes. It is therefore concluded that for obtaining a full spectrum of the characteristic functional properties of an F1-ATPase the presence of the F1- subunit is also required. The implications of these findings on the subunit location of both catalytic and noncatalytic nucleotide binding sites is discussed.  相似文献

Influenza A and Sendai viruses bind toneolacto-series gangliosides isolated from human granulocytes. Differences in receptor specificity of influenza viruses A/PR/8/34 (H1N1), A/X-31 (H3N2), and parainfluenza Sendai virus (HNF1, Z-strain) were determined by two direct solid phase binding assays: the overlay technique, which combines high-resolution in the separation of gangliosides on thin-layer chromatograms with direct binding; and the microwell adsorption assay as a convenient binding assay which is performed in microtitre wells to estimate the avidity of binding to an isolated ganglioside. Both methods were applied for comparative binding studies. Viruses were found to exhibit specificity for oligosaccharides and sialic acids as well as for chain length of the neutral carbohydrate backbone, whereas differing fatty acids (C24:1 and C16:0) in the ceramide portion had no impact on virus adsorption. Terminal sialyloligosaccharides Neu5Ac2-3Gal1-4Glc-R of GM3, and Neu5Ac2-3Gal1-4GlcNAc-R as well as Neu5Ac2-6Gal1-4GlcNAc-R ofneolacto-series gangliosides with nLcOse4Cer and nLcOse6Cer backbone, exhibited significant specific receptor activity towards the different viruses. To compare the data revealed from both test systems, values of virus binding were ascertained by a non-parametric statistical approach based on rank correlation. The rank correlation coefficientr s was calculated according to Spearman from each virus binding towards GM3, IV3Neu5Ac-nLcOse4Cer, IV6Neu5Ac-nLcOse4Cer and VI3Neu5Ac-nLcOse6SCer. The rank correlation coefficients 0.74, 0.95 and 0.92, which were determined for A/PR/8/34 (H1N1), A/X-31 (H3N2) and Sendai virus (HNF1, Z-strain), respectively, indicated that both assays generate highly correlated experimental data. Based on these results, analyses of virus binding on thin-layer chromatograms as well as in microwells were found equivalent tools for ganglioside receptor studies. Abbreviations: BSA, bovine serum albumin; GSL(s), glycosphingolipids; HPTLC, high performance thin-layer chromatography; PBS, phosphate buffered saline; Neu5Ac,N-acetylneuraminic acid [35];r s = rank correlation coefficient according to Spearman.
