Leishmaniasis worldwide and global estimates of its incidence

As part of a World Health Organization-led effort to update the empirical evidence base for the leishmaniases, national experts provided leishmaniasis case data for the last 5 years and information regarding treatment and control in their respective countries and a comprehensive literature review was conducted covering publications on leishmaniasis in 98 countries and three territories (see 'Leishmaniasis Country Profiles Text S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S11, S12, S13, S14, S15, S16, S17, S18, S19, S20, S21, S22, S23, S24, S25, S26, S27, S28, S29, S30, S31, S32, S33, S34, S35, S36, S37, S38, S39, S40, S41, S42, S43, S44, S45, S46, S47, S48, S49, S50, S51, S52, S53, S54, S55, S56, S57, S58, S59, S60, S61, S62, S63, S64, S65, S66, S67, S68, S69, S70, S71, S72, S73, S74, S75, S76, S77, S78, S79, S80, S81, S82, S83, S84, S85, S86, S87, S88, S89, S90, S91, S92, S93, S94, S95, S96, S97, S98, S99, S100, S101'). Additional information was collated during meetings conducted at WHO regional level between 2007 and 2011. Two questionnaires regarding epidemiology and drug access were completed by experts and national program managers. Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis incidence ranges were estimated by country and epidemiological region based on reported incidence, underreporting rates if available, and the judgment of national and international experts. Based on these estimates, approximately 0.2 to 0.4 cases and 0.7 to 1.2 million VL and CL cases, respectively, occur each year. More than 90% of global VL cases occur in six countries: India, Bangladesh, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Brazil. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is more widely distributed, with about one-third of cases occurring in each of three epidemiological regions, the Americas, the Mediterranean basin, and western Asia from the Middle East to Central Asia. The ten countries with the highest estimated case counts, Afghanistan, Algeria, Colombia, Brazil, Iran, Syria, Ethiopia, North Sudan, Costa Rica and Peru, together account for 70 to 75% of global estimated CL incidence. Mortality data were extremely sparse and generally represent hospital-based deaths only. Using an overall case-fatality rate of 10%, we reach a tentative estimate of 20,000 to 40,000 leishmaniasis deaths per year. Although the information is very poor in a number of countries, this is the first in-depth exercise to better estimate the real impact of leishmaniasis. These data should help to define control strategies and reinforce leishmaniasis advocacy.     

Effects of aminoethylation of cysteine residues on the structural and functional activities of the Escherichia coli 30 S ribosomal proteins

The purified 30 S ribosomal proteins from Escherichia coli strain Q13 were chemically modified by reaction with ethyleneimine, specifically converting cysteine residues to S-2-aminoethylcysteine residues. Proteins S1, S2, S4, S8, S11, S12, S13, S14, S17, S18 and S21 were found to contain aminoethylcysteine residues after modification, whereas proteins S3, S5, S6, S7, S9, S10, S15, S16, S19 and S20 did not. Aminoethylated proteins S4, S13, S17 and S18 were active in the reconstitution of 30 S ribosomes and did not have altered functional activities in poly(U)-dependent polyphenylalanine synthesis, R17-dependent protein synthesis, fMet-tRNA binding and Phe-tRNA binding. Aminoethylated proteins S2, S11, S12, S14 and S21 were not active in the reconstitution of complete 30 S ribosomes, either because the aminoethylated protein did not bind stably to the ribosome (S2, S11, S12 and S21) or because the aminoethylated protein did not stabilize the binding of other ribosomal proteins (S14). The functional activities of 30 S ribosomes reconstituted from a mixture of proteins containing one sensitive aminoethylated protein (S2, S11, S12, S14 or S21) were similar to ribosomes reconstituted from mixtures lacking that protein. These results imply that the sulfhydryl groups of the proteins S4, S13, S17 and S18 are not necessary for the structural or functional activities of these proteins, and that aminoethylation of the sulfhydryl groups of S2, S11, S12, S14 and S21 forms either a kinetic or thermodynamic barrier to the assembly of active 30 S ribosomes in vitro.     

Contacts of ribosomal proteins with tRNAPhe and 16S RNA in analogs of the 30S initiation complex

Direct RNA-protein contacts have been studied by means of ultraviolet-induced (254 nm) cross-links inside complexes of NAcPhe-tRNAPhe, Phe-tRNAPhe and deacylated tRNAPhe with poly(U)-charged 30S subunit of Escherichia coli ribosome. In the first two complexes tRNA directly contacts with the similar sets of proteins (S4, S5, S7, S9/S11; S6 and S8 are found only in the second complex). These sets are similar to that in the fMet-tRNAfMet X 30S X mRNA complex, evidencing similar disposition of tRNAs in these three complexes. 16S RNA contacts in free 30S subunit mainly with proteins S4, S7 and S9/S11. In both complexes, containing NAcPhe-tRNAPhe and Phe-tRNAPhe, 16S RNA contacts with essentially the same proteins (S4, S5, S7, S8, S9/S11, S10, S15, S16 and S17) and in the same ratio, evidencing similar conformation of 30S subunit in these two complexes. In the third complex deacylated tRNAPhe contacts with proteins S4, S5, S6, S8, S9/S11 and S15, 16S RNA-protein interaction differs from those in the first two complexes by a remarkable decrease of cross-linked proteins S8, and S9/S11 and by the appearance of a large amount of cross-linked proteins(s) S13/S14. Hence, this complex differs from the first two by conformation of 30S subunit and, probably, by disposition and/or conformation of tRNA.     

Determination of S-genotypes of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) cultivars by S-RNase sequencing and PCR-RFLP analyses

The pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) has gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI). To elucidate the S-genotypes of Korean-bred pear cultivars, whose parents are heterozygotes, the PCR amplification using S-RNase primers that are specific for each S-genotype was carried out in 15 Korean-bred pear cultivars and 5 Japanese-bred pear cultivars. The difference of the fragment length was shown in the following order: S6 (355 bp) < S7 (360 bp) < S1 (375 bp) < S4 (376 bp) < S3 and S5 (384 bp) < S8 (442 bp) < S9 (1,323 bp) < S2 (1,355 bp). We analyzed the sequence of the S-RNase gene, which had introns of various sizes in the hypervariable (HV) region between the adjacent exons with a fairly high homology. The sizes of the introns were as follows: S1 = 167 bp, S2 = 1,153 bp, S3 = 179 bp, S4 = 168 bp, S5 = 179 bp, S6 = 147 bp, S7 = 152 bp, S8 = 234 bp, S9 = 1,115 bp. There were five conservative and five hypervariable regions in the introns of S1, S3, S4, S5, S6 and S-RNases. A pairwise comparison of these introns of S-RNases revealed homologies as follows: 93.7% between S1- and S4-RNases, 93.3% between S3- and S5-RNases and 78.9% between S6- and S7-RNases. PCR-RFLP and S-RNases sequencing determined the S-genotypes of the pear cultivars. The S-genotypes were S4S9 for Shinkou, S3S9 for Niitaka, S3S5 for Housui, S1S5 for Kimizukawase, S1S8 for Ichiharawase, S3S5 for Mansoo, S3S4 for Shinil, S3S4 for Whangkeumbae, S3S5 for Sunhwang, S3S5 for Whasan, S3S5 for Mihwang, S5S? for Chengsilri, S3S5 for Gamro, S3S4 for Yeongsanbae, S3S4 for Wonhwang, S3S5 for Gamcheonbae, S3S5 for Danbae, S3S4 for Manpoong, S3S4 for Soowhangbae and S4S6 for Chuwhangbae. The information on the S-genotypes of pear cultivars will be used for the pollinizer selection and breeding program.

A cladistic analysis of interspecific relationships ofSaguinus

The dental and cranial morphologies of all species ofSaguinus, S. oedipus, S. geoffroyi, S. leucopus, S. nigricollis, S. fuscicollis, S. labiatus, S. mystax, S. imperator, S. bicolor, andS. midas are examined. The following hypotheses are developed by cladistic methodology, using only synapomorphic characters to assess the interspecific relationships ofSaguinus.Saguinus are divided into two main groups; one consists ofS. oedipus, S. geoffroyi, andS. leucopus, and the other includesS. inustus, S. nigricollis, S. fuscicollis, S. labiatus, S. mystax, S. imperator, S. bicolor, andS. midas. In the former group,S. oedipus is more closely related toS. geoffroyi than either is toS. leucopus. In the latter group,S. labiatus, S. mystax, andS. imperator are classified into one group, andS. bicolor andS. midas form one monophyletic group.     

Assembly of the central domain of the 30S ribosomal subunit: roles for the primary binding ribosomal proteins S15 and S8

Assembly of the 30S ribosomal subunit occurs in a highly ordered and sequential manner. The ordered addition of ribosomal proteins to the growing ribonucleoprotein particle is initiated by the association of primary binding proteins. These proteins bind specifically and independently to 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Two primary binding proteins, S8 and S15, interact exclusively with the central domain of 16S rRNA. Binding of S15 to the central domain results in a conformational change in the RNA and is followed by the ordered assembly of the S6/S18 dimer, S11 and finally S21 to form the platform of the 30S subunit. In contrast, S8 is not part of this major platform assembly branch. Of the remaining central domain binding proteins, only S21 association is slightly dependent on S8. Thus, although S8 is a primary binding protein that extensively contacts the central domain, its role in assembly of this domain remains unclear. Here, we used directed hydroxyl radical probing from four unique positions on S15 to assess organization of the central domain of 16S rRNA as a consequence of S8 association. Hydroxyl radical probing of Fe(II)-S15/16S rRNA and Fe(II)-S15/S8/16S rRNA ribonucleoprotein particles reveal changes in the 16S rRNA environment of S15 upon addition of S8. These changes occur predominantly in helices 24 and 26 near previously identified S8 binding sites. These S8-dependent conformational changes are consistent with 16S rRNA folding in complete 30S subunits. Thus, while S8 binding is not absolutely required for assembly of the platform, it appears to affect significantly the 16S rRNA environment of S15 by influencing central domain organization.     

Host–pathogen relationship between Salix and Melampsora sheds light on the parentage of some biomass willows

The association between willow ( Salix ) and rust ( Melampsora ) is highly specific. Willows named Salix burjatica , S. dasyclados ( S. × dasyclados ) and S. × calodendron are important in renewable-energy plantations in the UK and western Europe. There has been much controversy over their origin, species status and nomenclature. It has been suggested that they have originated from hybridization between. S. caprea , S. viminalis and S. cinerea . In the present work, 59 willow clones were investigated through morphological examination and detached leaf inoculation using willow differentials, for their association, in southwest England, with M. capraearum and three pathotypes of Melampsora epitea (Me-A, B and C). M. capraearum was found on all clones of S. caprea and its hybrids with S. aurita ; Me-A on all S. viminalis clones; Me-B on wild S. cinerea , S. × calodendron , S. × dasyclados 'De Biardii 445' and S . 'Spaethii'; Me-C on all S. burjatica clones and most S. × dasyclados clones. Both M. caprearum and Me-A infected all S. × sericans ( S. caprea × viminalis ) clones and S. × dasyclados 'LA041/03'. We suggest that S. × dasyclados 'LA041/03' should be treated as S. × sericans ( S. caprea × S. viminalis ); S. burjatica , S. dasyclados and S. × dasyclados as synonyms; S. × dasyclados 'De Biardii 445' as S. × calodendron 'De Biardii 445'; and S . 'Spaethii' as S. × calodendron 'Spaethii'.     

24份甜樱桃材料自交不亲和S基因型鉴定

甜樱桃品种绝大部分自交不亲和,限制了甜樱桃的正确评价和合理利用,因此自交不亲和基因型的鉴定对于生产具有重要意义。以24个甜樱桃主栽品种为材料,用5对蔷薇科李属引物组合对24个甜樱桃品种进行了S等位基因的PCR扩增,克隆S基因的扩增片段,用核酸序列在Gen Bank上搜索,确定了5种S基因的核酸序列和大小。结果表明:Pru C2+Pru C4R引物组合扩增效果最好;在琼脂糖凝胶上位置相同的扩增带其核酸序列相同,是同一种S基因;5种S基因扩增片段的大小分别是S1为800 bp,S3为762 bp,S4为962bp,S5为300 bp,S6为456 bp,S9为650 bp;24个甜樱桃S基因型是红手球、早红宝石为S1S3,拉宾斯S1S4',红宝石S1S6,布鲁克斯S1S9,那翁S3S4,秦林、泰安大紫、先锋、早大果、丽珠、美早、5-106、左滕锦、桑提娜为S3S6,黑珍珠、红灯、萨米脱、秦樱为S3S9,胜利为S5S9,明珠、红蜜、雷尼、滨库为S6S9。
