Summary On exposure to high temperature of a temperature-sensitive RNA polymerase subunit (rpoC92) mutant of Escherichia coli, selective reduction was observed in the rate of synthesis of a group of proteins including RNA polymerase subunit. The finding that the synthesis of subunit but not subunit was specifically repressed in this mutant grown at non-permissive temperature indicates that the functionally intact RNA polymerase is required for the synthesis of subunits be coordinated. In addition, the assembly of newly synthesized RNA polymerase subunits was inefficient in this mutant at the steps where altered subunit was involved, and the unassembled enzyme subunits were rapidly and preferentially degraded. During recovery to non-restricted growth, the synthesis of both and subunits was transiently enhanced in parallel leading to recovery of the intracellular concentration of functional RNA polymerase. 相似文献

Kinetics of the reconstitution of hemoglobin from semihemoglobins and with hemin dicyanide have been investigated using three kinds of stopped-flow technique (Soret absorption, fluorescence quenching of tryptophan, and Soret CD). The semihemoglobins and are occupied by heme in the and chains, respectively, the other chain being heme-free. Based on the kinetic results, the following scheme for the reconstitution is proposed; First, hemin dicyanide enters the pocket-like site of the apo chains. Second, in semihemoglobin , the CN-ligand in the fifth coordination position of iron is replaced by the imidazole ring of the proximal His immediately after the heme insertion. In contrast, semihemoglobin changes its conformation after the heme insertion, and this is followed by the ligand replacement. Finally, the partial structure changes induced by the ligand replacement propagate onto the whole molecule and the final conformation is attained. The results indicate that semihemoglobin retains a more rigid and organized structure, and more closely approaches its final structure than does semihemoglobin .

Summary In a lactic acid fermentation by Streptococcus faecalis, the specific consumption rate of glucose (v) and the specific production rate of lactic acid () were represented by the following simple equations as functions of the specific growth rate (): 1/=(1/) + 1/ = (1/) + By use of data from a batch culture, these two equations were derived from enzyme kinetics of the product inhibition. These equations were successfully applied to the results of batch culture and chemostat culture. In addition, calculation of ATP yield by these equations agreed with the experimental results better than the conventional Leudeking-Piret type equation, which includes two terms associated with growth and not with growth.

Summary The activities of -naphthyl bytyrate esterase, non-specific esterase, indoxyl esterase and acid phosphatase were studied histochemically in macrophages in cultures and in tissue sections of primary tumours and metastases of Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL). All macrophages in culture were stained by the -naphthyl butyrate esterase procedure. In tissue sections, macrophages were intensely stained by the butyrate esterase procedure, while the tumour cells were not stained at all; macrophages were easily differentiated from 3LL cells. Non-specific esterase was evident in both tumour cells and macrophages. Indoxyl esterase and acid phosphatase were present in macrophages at the margin of the tumour only.The -naphthyl butyrate esterase-positive macrophages differed in shape and location from acid phosphatase and indoxyl esterase-positive macrophages. This may indicate a difference in characteristics between macrophages found inside a tumour and those found at the tumour margins. 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 When adenosine cyclic 2,3-phosphate is evaporated from solution in the presence of simple catalysts such as aliphatic diamines at alkaline pH, and maintained in a dry state at moderate temperatures (25-85°C), self-polymerization to give oligonucleotides of chainlength up to at least 6 is observed. The products contain an excess of [35]-linkages over [25]-linkages. The effects of different catalysts and reaction conditions on the efficiency of the reaction are described. The prebiological relevance of these reactions is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Data on chlorophyll mutation frequency after treatment with EMS, DES and gamma-rays and sequential administration of gamma-rays and the two alkylating agents in three varieties of rice have been used to work out quantitatively the effectiveness and efficiency of each mutagen and combination treatment. For effectiveness, the order is EMS > DES and for efficiency it is EMS > DES > gamma-rays. In some sequential treatments (Gamma-rays + DES in IR8 and Basmati; DES + gamma-rays in IR8 and Jhona; Gamma-rays + EMS in IR8 and Basmati; and EMS + gamma-rays in IR8, Jhona and Basmati) mutation frequency is more than additive (synergistic) but these treatments are decisively less efficient because of their relatively high injurious effects in the M1. generation. EMS induces more albinas than gamma-rays do. The mutational spectrum patterns induced by gamma-rays and DES are alike. In general, combination treatments tend to increase the frequency of albinas over other types of chlorophyll mutants. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung In einem Aufforstungsgebiet mit Japanlärche und Waldkiefer von 325 ha bei Lingen/Emsland mit 600 künstlichen Nisthöhlen konnten 1974–1993 jährlich 16–98 Brutpaare der Tannenmeise kontrolliert werden; rund zwei Drittel der Paare brüteten im Mittel aller Jahre zweimal pro Saison. Die Reproduktionsrate (Zahl flügger Nestlinge), die lokale Rekrutierungsrate (Zahl der sich fortpflanzenden geburtsortstreuen Jungvögel) und die Überlebensrate einjähriger Tannenmeisen-, die nur einmal brüteten (Gruppe 1), wird verglichen mit einjährigen mit zwei Bruten (Gruppe 2); einjährige mit mißglückter Erst- oder Zweitbrut blieben unberücksichtigt. Als Maß für die Überlebensrate gilt die lokale Wiederfangrate der . Gruppe 2 hatte eine gesichert höhere Reproduktions- und Rekrutierungsrate als Gruppe 1, und zwar nicht nur im 1. Brutjahr, sondern auch über alle Lebenszeit-Brutjahre (lifetime reproduction). Zwischen Brutenzahl und Wiederfangrate der im jeweils nächsten Jahr besteht eine gesichert positive Beziehung. Dies dürfte auf im Duchschnitt bessere Qualität der mit Zweitbruten zurückzuführen sein. Die Ergebnisse stimmen nicht mit der cost of reproduction hypothesis überein.
Costs and benefits of second broods in Coal Tits (Parus ater)
We compared the reproductive output, local recruitment rates and survival rates of 1 year old Coal Tit females breeding only once (group 1) with the corresponding values of 1 year old females breeding twice (group 2). One year old females which failed first or second broods were excluded. Survival was estimated by the local recovery rate of females during the next breeding season. Our data do not fit with the cost of reproduction hypothesis as females with significantly higher reproductive output and recruitment (group 2) did not show lower survival. We even found a significantly positive correlation between production of a second brood and recovery rate the next year.相似文献

An ultrastructural application of silver methenamine to the study of mucin changes in the colonic mucosa adjacent to and remote from carcinoma 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Synopsis A periodic acid-chromic acid-silver methenamine technique for visualizing glycoproteins at the electron microscope level was applied to colonic mucosa taken from areas adjacent to and remote from carcinoma. Normal control mucosa was obtained by biopsy of patients with no known gastrointestinal disease. Non-oxidized control sections were run in parallel. Quantitative and qualitative differences in glycoproteins were detected in the muscosa adjacent to carcinoma (transitional mucosa, as we call it) as compared with the normal. Furthermore, the vesicles in both the intermediate and absorptive cells elaborate a glycoprotein product and it seems that a direct relationship exists between the increased vesiculation and the markedly developed fuzzy coat in the transitional mucosa. It is suggested that these findings may represent one of the features of an early stage of carcinogenesis. Histochemical and ultrastructural techniques of the kind used in this study may thus be of value in identifying or predicting malignancy in the colonic epithelium. 相似文献

present in unfertilized Salmonidae fish eggs, and glycoproteins bearing oligo/polymers of deaminated neuraminic acids (KDN) found in the vitelline envelope of the eggs and ovarian fluid. We report the preparation and characterization of a monoclonal antibody specifically recognizing oligo/polymers of KDN sequences in glycoproteins and its application in immunohistochemistry. Fusion of spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with a KDN-rich glycoprotein (KDN-gp) containing (8KDN2)

6(KDN23Gal13GlNAc13) GalNAc1 residues, with mouse myeloma cells yielded a hybrid cell line producing a monoclonal antibody that bound to KDN-gp, but not to KDN-gp depleted of KDN residues. The specificity of the monoclonal antibody, designated mAb.kdn8kdn, was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using KDN-gp samples that varied in KDN content. These antigens were prepared by the selective removal of KDN residues from the native KDN-gp. The mAb.kdn8kdn reacted most strongly with the intact KDN-gp and less strongly with KDN-gp samples containing decreased numbers of KDN residues. The mAb.kdn8kdn was shown specifically to recognize the 28-linked oligo/polyKDN sequences, (8KDN2)

Summary A set of 167 mucromphs was evaluated in their F1 generation for seven plant, four plot and five ratio characters. Methods of characterizing the parents and the hybrids on the basis of combining ability effects described in the first part were found to be efficient in identifying desirable cross combinations for pedigree breeding or generating composite populations. Order effects of multiple-pollen combinations were found to be potent for a number of character components. High x Low cross-combinations were found to produce a high frequency of heterotic crosses followed by High x High. Selected biparental progenies, single crosses, three-way crosses and elite varieties were successful female parents and combinations of pollen from two varieties, one variety and three varieties were successful male parents, in that order, in producing significant heterosis in mucromphs. The relationship between general and specific combining ability on the one hand and realised heterosis on the other was discussed. 相似文献

Three cultivated varieties of Narcissus tazetta, Grand Soleil d'Or, Chinese Sacred Lily and Cypri, are triploid (2n = 3x+30) with the basic number 10. Grand Soleil d'Or has three homomorphic sets, each comprising 2 long submetacentrics, 4 long acrocentrics and 4 short acrocentrics. Karyotypes of the other two varieties are heteromorphic. Both possess one telocentric satellited chromosome. In addition, Cypri shows translocation between two chromosomes belonging to the seventh and eighth triplets. The number of secondary constrictions varies between 3 (Chinese Sacred Lily) and 4 (Grand Soleil d'Or and Cypri) which is also the number of nucleoli observed in the respective varieties. 相似文献

Summary. An immunocytochemical investigation of the expression of 1, 6, 2/3, 2 and subunits was performed on rat cerebellum granule cells in culture by the two photon microscopy technique.The first four subunits appear to be expressed abundantly in these cells, whereas the one seems to be expressed at a lower level. Another major difference in the distribution of these subunits is that whereas 6, 2/3 and 2 appear only on plasma membranes 1 and are present mainly in the cell bodies cytoplasm. Still another difference was found in that the presence of 2 on neurites is polarized, preferentially labelling neurites with the appearance of dendrites. The subunits 6 and 2/3 appear to label all types of neurites, with 2/3 being by far the most heavily expressed subunit type. A final distinct characteristic is that 6 and, even more, 2 appear to accumulate in the cytoplasmic domains immediately below the cone of emergence of neurites. This suggests a conspicuous transport of such subunits from the site of synthesis in the cell body to the site of final expression in the neurites (dendrites and axon terminals). 相似文献

Anti-Pr cold agglutinins (CAs) with the subspecificities anti-Pr1h,-Pr1d, -Pr2, -Pr3h, -Pr3d, -PrM and anti-Sa CAs recognize immunodominantN-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuN Ac) groups of tetra and/or trisaccharides (O-glycans) of glycophorin. These O-glycans are sialylated in 2,3- and/or 2,6-linkages. Sa and most Pr antigens have been inactivated by 2,3-specific sialidases. Antigenicity was reconstituted on desialylated glycophorin by 2,3-specific Gal1,3GalN Ac-sialyltransferase indicating that 2,3-linked NeuN Ac groups are the immunodominant components of Sa and most Pr antigens. Some Pr antigens were resistant to 2,3-specific sialidase and were not reconstituted by 2,3-specific Gal1,3GalN Ac-sialyltransferase, which indicates that 2,6-linked NeuN Ac group represents an immunodominant component of some Pr antigens. 相似文献

Summary The content of free amino acids was determined in erythrocytes of adult Leghorn (Lg, White Rock (WR) and Cornish (Cr) hens, bred under identical conditions. The concentration of total amino acids was twice as high in the erythrocytes as in plasma, amounting to 396 m/100 ml, 424 m/100 ml and 475m/100 ml in White Rock, Cornish and Leghorn hens, respectively.Significant differences were found in the ratio of basic amino acids to acidic amino acids. These values were 0.76, 1.75 and 3.19 in White Rick, Leghorn and Cornish hens, respectively; in the plasma of all 3 breeds the ratio was 1. Statistically significant interbreed differences were expressed more distinctly in erythrocyte than in plasma amino acid concentrations. For absolute concentrations the differences were significant in the case of 9 amino acids. 相似文献

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are regarded as a susceptible crop to suboptimal temperatures. In temperate regions, low temperatures reduce establishment of beans when planted early in the growing season. Seeds of 14 cultivars/lines or beans were germinated in petri dishes at a constant 8, 10, 12, or 18°C or at 12 h alternating temperatures of 10/8, 12/8 or 18/8°C. Differences in germination percentages and rates between cultivars/lines were significant, especially at low temperatures. Cultivars/lines that germinated best and quickly at constant 8°C were Volare, Great Northern (G.N.) Tara, G.N. Belneb # 1, G.N. Spinel, and San Cristobal. Germination percent and rate of Pinto-UI-111 and Canadian Wonder increased significantly when temperatures were increased by 2 to 4°C for 12 h per 24 h, compared with a constant 8°C. Whereas, germination of G.N. Belneb # 1 was reduced. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to study the effect of cold treatment on polypeptide patterns of seven cultivars/lines. Seeds were germinated at 18°C constant for 96 h or at 18°C for 48 h followed by 48 h at 2 or 8°C. During cold treatment the synthesis of some polypeptides increased. Volare, G.N. Tara Pinto-UI-111 and Canadian Wonder showed changes in polypeptide patterns, while Alubia-33-1, Michigan 84100 and BAT-1225 showed no changes in polypeptide patterns if compared to the control (96 h at 18°C in the dark). This suggests a likely essential role of these proteins in the development of chilling tolerance. 相似文献

Incubation of synthetic Man\1-4GlcNAc-OMe, GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, and GlcNAc1-4GlcNac-OMe with CMP-Neu5Ac and rat liver Gal1-4GlcNAc (2-6)-sialyltransferase resulted in the formation of Neu5Ac2-6Man1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe and Neu5Ac2-6GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, respectively. Under conditions which led to quantitative conversion of Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt into Neu5Ac2-6Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt, the aforementioned products were obtained in yields of 4%, 48%, 16% and 8%, respectively. HPLC on Partisil 10 SAX was used to isolate the various sialyltrisaccharides, and identification was carried out using 1- and 2-dimensional 500-MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy.Abbreviations 2D

A progeny consisting of 52 anther-derived doubled haploid barley lines from a F1 between the winter cultivars Igri (susceptible) and Triton (resistant) was tested for resistance to Rhynchosporium secalis. A dominant gene was detected and tagged by a series of cosegregating RFLP markers located in the proximal portion of the long arm of chromosome 3, close to the centromere. One of the cosegregating RFLP markers, cMWG680, was converted into a codominant sequence tagged site marker. Polymerase chain reaction analysis with this marker of a series of accessions carrying known resistance genes provided evidence that scald resistance in cv Triton is due to the presence of the Rh gene. 相似文献

The heart of what's the matter The semantics of illness in Iran 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Byron J. Good 《Culture, medicine and psychiatry》1977,1(1):25-58
Our understanding of the psychosocial and cultural dimensions of disease and illness is limited not merely by a lack of empirical knowledge but also by an inadequate medical semantics. The empiricist theories of medical language commonly employed both by comparative ethnosemantic studies and by medical theory are unable to account for the integration of illness and the language of high medical traditions into distinctive social and symbolic contexts. A semantic network analysis conceives the meaning of illness categories to be constituted not primarily as an ostensive relationship between signs and natural disease entities but as a syndrome of symbols and experiences which typically run together for the members of a society. Such analysis dirests our attention to the patterns of associations which provide meaning to elements of a medical lexicon and to the constitution of that meaning through the use of medical discourse to articulate distinctive configurations of social stress and to negotiate relief for the sufferer. This paper provides a critical discussion of medical semantics and develops a semantic network analysis of heart distress, a folk illness in Iran. 相似文献
