Summary The carotenoid pigments of the myxobacterium Sorangium compositum were analyzed by chromatographical and chemical techniques and by visible, infra red, and mass spectroscopy. Besides -carotene, neurosporene, torulene, lycopene, and 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy--carotene, four new carotenoid glycosides were found. These pigments were identified as 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-torulene glucoside ester (I), 1,2-dihydro-3,1-dihydroxy-torulene glucoside ester (III), 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-torulene rhamnoside (II), and 1,2-dihydro-3,1-dihydroxytorulene rhamnoside (IV).Fifth communication on the carotenoids of myxobacteria. Fourth communication see Arch. Mikrobiol. 76, 364–380 (1971).  相似文献

Each cryptomonad strain contains only a single spectroscopic type of biliprotein. These biliproteins are isolated as 50000 kDa '2 complexes which carry one bilin on the and three on the subunit. Six different bilins are present on the cryptomonad biliproteins, two of which (phycocyanobilin and phycoerythrobilin) also occur in cyanobacterial and rhodophytan biliproteins, while four are known only in the cryptomonads. The subunit is encoded on the chloroplast genome, whereas the subunits are encoded by a small nuclear multigene family. The subunits of all cryptomonad biliproteins, regardless of spectroscopic type, have highly conserved amino acid sequences, which show > 80% identity with those of rhodophytan phycoerythrin subunits. In contrast, cyanobacteria and red algal chloroplasts each contain several spectroscopically distinct biliproteins organized into macromolecular complexes (phycobilisomes). The data on biliproteins, as well as several other lines of evidence, indicate that the cryptomonad biliprotein antenna system is primitive and antedates that of the cyanobacteria. It is proposed that the gene encoding the cryptomonad biliprotein subunit is the ancestral gene of the gene family encoding cyanobacterial and rhodophytan biliprotein and subunits.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - CER chloroplast endoplasmic reticulum - SSU rRNA small subunit ribosomal RNA  相似文献

Summary Detailed restriction enzyme analysis of the DNA from a Chinese female showed that one of her chromosomes had a >17.5 kb deletion of DNA, including the , 2, and 1 globin genes, which is present in many Southeast Asians with an -thalassemia-1 chromosome. Her normal chromosome had the expected cluster of -like globin genes (5----2-1-3), but the segment of DNA between the two globin genes was elongated by some 0.5–0.7 kb. Analyses of various restriction sites suggested that this normal variant of the human globin gene complex is due to a crossover between a normal chromosome with () and a chromosome with an -thalassemia-2 (–3.7) and an -21-hybrid gene.  相似文献

An RNA polymerase chain reaction strategy was used to amplify and clone a cDNA segment encoding for the complete constant part of the axolotl IgY heavy (C) chain. C is 433 amino acids long and organized into four domains (C1–C4); each has the typical internal disulfide bond and invariant tryptophane residues. Axolotl C is most closely related to Xenopus C (40% identical amino acid residues) and C1 shares 46.4% amino acid residues among these species. The presence of additional cysteines in C1 and C2 domains is consistent with an additional intra-domain S-S bond similar to that suggested for Xenopus C and C, and for the avian C and the human C. C4 ends with the Gly-Lys dipeptide characteristic of secreted mammalian C3, human C4, and avian and anuran C4, and contains the consensus [G/GT(AA)] nucleotide splice signal sequence for joining C4 to the transmembrane region. These results are consistent with the hypothesis of an ancestral structural relationship between amphibian, avian chains, and mammalian chains. However, these molecules have different biological properties: axolotl IgY is secretory Ig, anuran and avian IgY behave like mammalian IgG, and mammalian IgE is implicated in anaphylactic reactions.The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to the EMBL/GenBank nucleotide sequence database and have been assigned the accession number X69492.

Summary Cholic acid (3,7,12-trihydroxy-5-cholanoic acid) was completely and selectively transformed into 12-ketoursodeoxycholic acid (3,7-dihydroxy-12-oxo-5-cholanoic acid) by means of two consecutive enzymatic steps catalyzed, the first, by 7- and 12-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and, the second, by 7-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Coenzyme regeneration was carried out with -ketoglutarate-glutamate dehydrogenase and glucose-glucose dehydrogenase, respectively.  相似文献

The cleavage of adenosine-5-monophosphate (5-AMP) and guanosine-5-monophosphate (5-GMP) by Ce4+ and lanthanide complex of 2-carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge-132) in acidic and near neutral conditions was investigated by NMR , HPLC and measuring the liberated inorganic phosphate at 37°C and 50°C. The results showed that 5-GMP and 5-AMP was converted to guanine (G), 5-monophosphate (depurination of 5-GMP), ribose (depurination and dephosphorylation of 5-GMP), phosphate and adenine (A), 5-monophosphate (depurination of 5-AMP), ribose (depurination and dephosphorylation of 5-AMP), phosphate respectively by Ce4+. In presence of lanthanide complexes, 5-GMP and 5-AMP were converted to guanosine (Guo) and phosphate and adenosine (Ado) and phosphate respectively. The mechanism of cleaving 5-GMP and 5-AMP is hydrolytic scission  相似文献

An extensive phylogenetic analysis of the nicotinic-acetylcholine-receptor subunit gene family has been performed by cladistic and phenetic methods. The conserved parts of amino acid sequences have been analyzed by CLUSTAL V and PHYLIP software. The structure of the genes was also taken in consideration. The results show that a first gene duplication may have occurred before the appearance of Bilateria. Three subfamilies then appeared: I-the neuronal -bungarotoxin binding-site subunits (7, 8); III-the neuronal nicotinic subunits (2–6, 2–4), which also contain the muscle acetylcholine-binding subunit (1); and IV—the muscle non- subunits (1, , ). The Insecta subunits (subfamily II) could be orthologous to family III and IV. Several tissular switches of expression from neuron to muscle and the converse can be inferred from the extant expression of subunits and the reconstructed trees. The diversification of the neuronal nicotinic subfamily begins in the stem lineage of chordates, the last duplications occurring shortly before the onset of the mammalian lineage. Such evolution parallels the increase in complexity of the cholinergic systems.Abbreviations -Bgt -bungarotoxin - ACh acetylcholine - MP maximum of parsimony - MYA million years ago - NJ neighbor-joining - nAChR nicotinic acetylcholine receptor Correspondence to: N.

A cell extract of Thermococcus hydrothermalis, grown for 6 h, gave -glucosidase activity at 14.9 U/l, degrading oligosaccharides and maltose. -Amylase, -glucosidase and pullulanase activities were detected at 289 U/l, 13.5 U/l and 30 U/l respectively in the culture medium after 24 h growth of the archaeum. All of three enzymes, characterised by a half-life time of 1 to 5 h at 95°C, degraded both the (14) and (16) linkages of polysaccharides and the (14) linkages of oligosaccharides. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998  相似文献

Summary On t.l.c. plates 125I-cholera toxin binds to a disialoganglioside tentatively identified as GDlb with about 10 times less capacity than to ganglioside GM1. Binding of labeled toxin to both gangliosides was abolished in presence of excess amounts of unlabeled B subunit. Ganglioside extracts from human or pig intestinal mucosa showed toxin binding to gangliosides GM1 and GD1b. In ganglioside-containing lipid monolayers the penetration of the toxin was independent of the ganglioside binding capacity.Abbreviations GM2 Gal-NAc14Gal(3-2NeuAc)14G1c1Cer - GM1 Gal3Ga1-NAc14Gal(32NeuAc)14G1c11Cer - GD1a NeuAc23Ga113Gal-NAc14Gal(32NeuAc)14G1c11Cer - GD1b Gall3Gal-NAcl4Gal(32NeuAc82NeuAc)14Glc11Cer - GT1b NeuAc23Ga113Ga1-NAcal4Gal(3-2NeuAc82NeuAc)14G1c11Cer - dpPC 1,2-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine - dpPE 1,2-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine  相似文献

A soluble Lewis blood-group gene associated -3/4-L-fucosyltransferase has been purified from human milk by a series of steps involving hydrophobic chromatography on Phenyl Sepharose 4B, ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50, affinity chromatography on GDP-hexanolamine Sepharose 4B and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. The first step separated -3-L-fucosyltransferase activity directed towardsN-acetylglucosamine in Type 2 (Gal1-4GlcNAc-R) acceptors from an -3/4-fucosyltransferase fraction acting on both Type 1 (Gal1-3GlcNAc-R) and Type 2 acceptors. Further purification of this latter fraction on CM-Sephadex and GDP-hexanolamine Sepharose gave a single peak of fucosyltransferase activity that catalysed the addition of fucose toN-acetylglucosamine in both Type 1 and Type 2 acceptors and to theO-3 position of glucose in lactose-based oligosaccharides. The enzyme preparation at this stage resembled previously described -3/4-fucosyltransferase preparations purified from human milk. However, gel filtration of this preparation on Sephacryl S-200 or Sephadex G-150 separated further amounts of -3-fucosyltransferase activity acting solely on Type 2 acceptors and left a residual -3/4-fucosyltransferase that retained strong -4 activity with the Type 1 acceptor, lacto-N-biose 1, and -3 activity with 2-fucosyllactose, but had relatively little -3 activity withN-acetyllactosamine and virtually no capacity to transfer fucose to glycoproteins withN-linked oligosaccharide chains having unsubstituted terminal Type 2 structures.  相似文献

Summary Three different conformations of proline rings in a protein in solution, Up, Down and Twist, have been distinguished, and stereospecific assignments of the pyrrolidine -, - and -hydrogens have been made on the basis of 1H-1H vicinal coupling constant patterns and intraresidue NOEs. For all three conformations, interhydrogen distances in the pairs -3, 3-3, 2-2, 2-2, and 3-3 (2.3 Å) are shorter than those in the pairs -2, 2-3, 3-2, 2-3, and 3-2 (2.7–3.0 Å), resulting in stronger NOESY cross peaks. For the Up conformation, the 3-2 and 2-3 spin-spin coupling constants are small (<3 Hz), and weak cross peaks are obtained in a short-mixing-time (10 ms) TOCSY spectrum; all other vicinal coupling constants are in the range 5–12 Hz, and result in medium to strong TOCSY cross peaks. For the Down form, the -2, 2-3, and 3-2 vicinal coupling constants are small, leading to weak TOCSY cross peaks; all other couplings again are in the range 5–12 Hz, and result in medium to strong TOCSY cross peaks. In the case of a Twist conformation, dynamically averaged coupling constants are anticipated. The procedure has been applied to bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and Cucurbita maxima trypsin inhibitor-V, and ring conformations of all prolines in the two proteins have been determined.  相似文献

Summary The localization of the structural gene for human -galactosidase B (=N-acetyl--galactosaminidase) was investigated by means of man-Chinese hamster and man-mouse somatic cell hybrids. The hybrid clones were analyzed for chromosomes and for a large number of known enzyme markers. The lysates of the hybrid cells were treated with Sepharose-coupled antihuman -galactosidase B and the activity of the adsorbed enzyme was measured on the Sepharose beads as N-acetyl--galactosominidase. The results show that the structural gene for human -galactosidase B is situated on chromosome 22, and that there is no structural relationship between human -galactosidase A and human -galactosidase B.  相似文献

Summary The total pigment and astaxanthin content ofPhaffia rhodozyma increased with increasing concentrations -pinene up to 500 l -pinene/l. Above this concentration the total pigment and astaxanthin content as well as the biomass production decreased. The addition of 500 l -pinene/l increased the total pigment content from 1652 g/g to 2201 g/g and the astaxanthin content from 1554 g/g to 1883 g/g. A sharp decrease in maximum specific growth rate occurred above 150 l -pinene/l.  相似文献

Summary A comparison of the mRNAs for rabbit and human-hemoglobins shows that synonymous changes in codons have accumulated three times as rapidly as nucleotide replacements that produced changes in amino acids. This agrees with predictions based on the so-called neutral theory. In addition, seven codon changes that appear to be single-base changes (according to maximum parsimony) are actually two-base changes. This indicates that the construction of primordial sequences is of limited significance when based on inferences that assume minimum base changes for amino acid replacements.  相似文献

Research on the distribution of oxylipins (3-hydroxy fatty acids) in flocculant strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae led to the uncovering of a novel ghosting phenomenon observed during assumed lectin-mediated aggregation. We found that intracellular oxylipin-containing osmiophilic layers migrate through yeast cell walls in a ghostlike fashion without visually affecting the cell wall structure or the layers. This migration resulted in the binding of these layers to cell walls of adjacent cells. Consequently, ghosting seems a prerequisite for flocculation to occur. However, ghosting alone may not be sufficient to ensure flocculation.  相似文献

Summary In nondiapause adults raised under a long-day photoperiod, the critical daylength for diapause induction was between 13 and 14 h although some individuals did not respond to the short-day photoperiod and went on laying eggs. In postdiapause adults in which LD 1311 induced the first diapause (L13 insects), the critical daylength for diapause reinduction was between 13 and 14 h, whereas it was between 12 and 13 h in postdiapause adults in which LD 1014 induced the first diapause (L10 insects). Under LD 1311, a small proportion of L10 insects went into the second diapause after great delay as compared with L13 insects. Under LD 1014, on the other hand, L10 insects went into the second diapause more rapidly than L13 insects. Therefore, the photoperiod which had induced the first diapause affected the photoperiodic induction of the second diapause not only in the critical daylength but also in the speed of response. In Riptortus clavatus, the photoperiodic history influences the subsequent photoperiodic response even after a physiological state induced by the previous photoperiod was terminated completely.Abbreviations L13 insects postdiapause adults in which LD 1311 induced the first diapause - L10 insects postdiapause adults in which LD 1014 induced the first diapause  相似文献

Summary One hundred and twenty-two varieties, lines and wild accessions of Lycopersicon were screened under three different regimes during the autumn/winter season of 1982–83 and 1983–84 for resistance to tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV). L. hirsutum f. glabratum (B6013) and L. hirsutum f. typicum (A1904) proved to be highly resistant to TLCV in all three environments. Various accessions of L. peruvianum were also highly resistant. L. pimpinellifolium (A1921) exhibited no TLCV symptoms within 90 days. Of the cultivated varieties, Acc 99 exhibited the minimim score for susceptibility; AC 142, Collection No. 2, Kalyanpur Angurlata and HS 101 had a low rating for virus incidence. The inheritance of resistance was studied in the interspecific crosses between a TLCV resistant line of L. pimpinellifolium (A1921) and five (HS 101, HS 102, HS 110, Pusa Ruby and Punjab Chhuhara) susceptible cultivars of L. esculentum. Parents, F1, F2 and backcross progenies were artificially inoculated with local strains of TLCV using vector the viruliferious whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.). Data indicated that the resistance of L. pimpinellifolium (A 1921) is monogenic and incompletely dominant over susceptibility.  相似文献

Summary 2-Amino-2-deoxyuridine reacts efficiently with nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides in aqueous solution. The dinucleoside monophosphate analogues were obtained in yields exceeding 80% under conditions in which little reaction occurs with the natural nucleosides.In a similar way, the 5-phosphorimidazolide of 2-amino-2-deoxyuridine undergoes self-condensation in aqueous solution to give a complex mixture of oligomers.The phosphoramidate bond in the dinucleoside monophosphate analogues is stable for several days at room temperature and pH 7. The mechanisms of their hydrolysis under acidic and alkaline conditions are described.Abbreviations A adenosine - C cytidine - G guanosine - U uridine - T thymidine - UN 3 2-azido-2-deoxyuridine - UNH 2 2-amino-2-deoxyuridine - ImpA adenosine 5-phosphorimidazolide - ImpU uridine 5-phosphorimidazolide - ImpUN 3 2-azido-2-deoxyuridine 5-phosphorimidazolide - ImpUNH 2 2-amino-2-deoxyuridine 5-phosphorimidazolide - pA adenosine 5-phosphate - pU uridine 5-phosphate - pUN 3 2-azido-2-deoxyuridine 5-phosphate - pUNH 2 2-amino-2-deoxyuridine 5-phosphate - UpA uridylyl-[35]-adenosine - UpU uridylyl-[35]-uridine - UNpA adenylyl-[52]-2-amino-2-deoxy-uridine - UNpU uridylyl-[52]-2-amino-2-deoxyuridine (pUN)n n=2,3,4 [25]-linked oligomers of pUNH 2 poly(A) polyadenylic acid - Im imidazole - MeIm l-methylimidazole  相似文献

Summary Rye -Amy1, -Amy2, and -Amy3 genes were studied in the cross between inbred lines using wheat -amylase cDNA probes. The -Amy1 and -Amy2 probes uncovered considerable restriction fragment length polymorphism, whereas the -Amy3 region was much more conserved. The numbers of restriction fragments found and the F2 segregation data suggest that there are three -Amy1 genes, two or three -Amy2 genes, and three -Amy3 genes in rye. These conclusions were supported by a simultaneous study of -amylase isozyme polymorphism. The F2 data showed the three individual -Amy1 genes to span a distance of 3cM at the locus on chromosome 6RL. The genes were mapped relative to other RFLP markers on 6RL. On chromosome 7RL two -Amy2 genes were shown to be separated by 5 cM. Linkage data within -Amy3 on 5RL were not obtained since RFLP could be detected at only one of the genes.  相似文献
