The specific growth rate, cell final yields and extracellar carbonic anhydrase activity of the red tide alga Skeletonema costatum increased with increasing concentrations of Zn2+ from 0 to 12 pM, but decreased when Zn2+ was over 24 pM. However, cells grown under high concentrations of Zn2+ had higher activities of intracellular carbonic anhydrase than those grown under low concentrations of Zn2+. Chlorophyll a-specific light-saturated photosynthetic rate (P(Chla)), dark respiration rate (R(chla)) and apparent photosynthetic efficiency (alpha(chla)) significantly increased with increasing concentrations of Zn2+ from 0 to 3 pM, but decreased when increasing concentrations of Zn2+ from 3 to 66 pM. Photorespiration is the lowest when cells cultured in 3 pM Zn2+. The results suggest physiological activity of Skeletonema costatum is very sensitive to the prevailing concentration of Zn2+. 相似文献

Zn availability in the ocean has been suggested to limit primary production by affecting CO2 acquisition processes for photosynthesis, therefore influencing the global carbon cycle. Also, UV radiation (UVR, 280–400 nm) is known to affect primary production in different ways. It remains to be ascertained whether Zn availability and UVR can act synergistically, antagonistically, or independently on oceanic primary production. We cultured the cosmopolitan diatom Skeletonema costatum (Grev.) Cleve under different radiation treatments with or without UVR (only photosynthetically active radiation), at 0, 3, and 10 pmol · L?1 Zn2+. Specific growth rate, photosynthetic carbon assimilation, external carbonic anhydrase (eCA) activity, and estimated cell abundance increased with increasing concentrations of Zn2+ from 0 to 3 and 10 pmol · L?1, irrespective of the radiation treatment. Higher eCA activity was observed in the cells grown at the high level of Zn2+ in the presence of UVR. An approximately linear relationship between μ and the daily dose of PAR was observed at 3 and 10 pmol · L?1 Zn2+ concentrations. However, the dependency of μ on the daily PAR dose disappeared when the cells were grown in the presence of UVR, which overall depressed both μ and photosynthetic carbon assimilation. The inhibitory effect of UVR was inversely related to Zn2+ concentrations. The ultraviolet‐B (UVB)‐related inhibition of growth and photosynthesis decreased with time, reflecting a faster acclimation of the cells to UVR at replete Zn2+ levels. Overall, growth in the presence of higher Zn2+ concentrations reduced the sensitivity to UV radiation in Skeletonema costatum. 相似文献

Phosphate homeostasis is controlled in part by absorption from the intestine, and reabsorption in the kidney. While the effect of Vitamin D metabolites on enterocytes is well documented, in the current study we assess selected responses in primary cultures of kidney cells. Time course studies revealed a rapid stimulation of phosphate uptake in cells treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), relative to controls. Dose-response studies indicated a biphasic curve with optimal stimulation at 300 pM 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and inhibition at 600 pM seco-steroid. Antibody 099--against the 1,25D(3)-MARRS receptor - abolished stimulation by the steroid hormone. Moreover, phosphate uptake was mediated by the protein kinase C pathway. The metabolite 24,25(OH)(2)D(3), which was found to inhibit the rapid stimulation of phosphate uptake in intestinal cells, had a parallel effect in cultured kidney cells. Finally, the 24,25(OH)(2)D(3) binding protein, catalase, was assessed for longer term down regulation. In both intestinal epithelial cells and kidney cells incubated with 24,25(OH)(2)D(3) for 5-24h, both the specific activity of the enzyme and protein levels were decreased relative to controls, while 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) increased both parameters over the same time periods. We conclude that the Vitamin D metabolites have similar effects in both kidney and intestine, and that 24,25(OH)(2)D(3) may have effects at the level of gene expression. 相似文献

为了认识海洋浮游藻类在碳充足和碳受限条件下对水体中溶解无机碳(DIC)的利用方式与可能机理,对13种海洋浮游藻类在不同pH和CO2浓度及不同DIC条件下细胞外碳酸酐酶(CA)的活性进行了分析测定.结果显示:13种藻中,只有Amphidinium carterae和Prorocentrum minimum在碳充足条件下具细胞外CA活性.Melosira sp.、Phaeodactylum tricornutum、Skeletonema costatum、Thalassiosira rotula、Emiliania huxleyi和Pleurochrysis carterae则在碳受限条件下才具细胞外CA活性.Chaetoceros compressus、Glenodinium foliaceum、Coccolithus pelagicus、 Gephrocapsa oceanica和Heterosigma akashiwo即使在碳受限条件下也未检测到细胞外CA活性.应用封闭系统中pH漂移技术和阴离子交换抑制剂4′4′-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DIDS)等的研究表明,Coc. pelagicus和G. oceanica可通过阴离子交换机制进行HCO-3的直接利用.H. akashiwo没有潜在的HCO-3直接利用或细胞外CA催化的HCO-3利用. 相似文献

In cells grown under 5% CO2 and in those bubbled with air, carboxysomes were present in low numbers (<2 · longitudinal section-1) and were distributed in an apparently random manner throughout the centroplasm. In contrast, cells grown in standing culture and those bubbled with 30 l CO2 · 1-1 possessed many carboxysomes (>8 · longitudinal section-1). Moreover, carboxysomes in these cells were usually positioned near the cell periphery, aligned along the interface between the centroplasm and the photosynthetic thylakoids.

transport system that is involved in concentrating inorganic carbon within the cells for subsequent use in photosynthesis. Immunolocalization studies indicate that the Calvin cycle enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase was predominantly carboxysome-localized, regardless of the inorganic carbon concentration of the growth medium, while phosphoribulokinase was confined to the thylakoid region. It is postulated that the peripheral arrangement of carboxysomes may provide for more efficient photosynthetic utilization of the internal inorganic carbon pool in cells from cultures where carbon resources are limiting.Abbreviations Chl

The phenotypic characteristics of the species Sulfobacillus thermotolerans Kr1T, as dependent on the cultivation conditions, are described in detail. High growth rates (0.22–0.30 h?1) and high oxidative activity were recorded under optimum mixotrophic conditions at 40 °C on medium with inorganic (Fe(II), S0, or pyrite-arsenopyrite concentrate) and organic (glucose and/or yeast extract) substrates. In cells grown under optimum conditions on medium with iron, hemes a, b, and, most probably, c were present, indicating the presence of the corresponding cytochromes. Peculiar extended structures in the form of cylindrical cords, never observed previously, were revealed; a mucous matrix, likely of polysaccharide nature, occurred around the cells. In the cells of sulfobacilli grown litho-, organo-, and mixotrophically at 40 °C, the enzymes of the three main pathways of carbon utilization and some enzymes of the TCA cycle were revealed. The enzyme activity was maximum under mixotrophic growth conditions. The growth rate in the regions of limiting temperatures (55 °C and 12–14 °C) decreased two-and tenfold, respectively; no activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, one of the key enzymes of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, could be revealed; and a decrease in the activity of almost all enzymes of glucose metabolism and of the TCA cycle was observed. The rate of 14CO2 fixation by cells under auto-, mixo-, and heterotrophic conditions constituted 31.8, 23.3, and 10.3 nmol/(h mg protein), respectively. The activities of RuBP carboxylase (it peaked during lithotrophic growth) and of carboxylases of heterotrophic carbon dioxide fixation were recorded. The physiological and biochemical peculiarities of the thermotolerant bacillus are compared versus moderately thermophilic sulfobacilli. 相似文献

Chloroplasts with high rates of photosynthetic O2 evolution (up to 120 mol O2· (mg Chl)-1·h-1 compared with 130 mol O2· (mg Chl)-1·h-1 of whole cells) were isolated from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells grown in high and low CO2 concentrations using autolysine-digitonin treatment. At 25° C and pH=7.8, no O2 uptake could be observed in the dark by high- and low-CO2 adapted chloroplasts. Light saturation of photosynthetic net oxygen evolution was reached at 800 mol photons·m-2·s-1 for high- and low-CO2 adapted chloroplasts, a value which was almost identical to that observed for whole cells. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) saturation of photosynthesis was reached between 200–300 M for low-CO2 adapted chloroplasts, whereas high-CO2 adapted chloroplasts were not saturated even at 700 M DIC. The concentrations of DIC required to reach half-saturated rates of net O2 evolution (Km(DIC)) was 31.1 and 156 M DIC for low- and high-CO2 adapted chloroplasts, respectively. These results demonstrate that the CO2 concentration provided during growth influenced the photosynthetic characteristics at the whole cell as well as at the chloroplast level.Abbreviations Chl

The effect of nantenine, an aporphine alkaloid, on ATPase K+-dependent dephosphorylation was evaluated using p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) as substrate. Basal K+-p-NPPase activity was significantly increased with 3 x 10(-4) M, remained unchanged with 3 x 10(-6) M, 3 x 10(-5) M but was reduced with 7.5 x 10(-4) M and 1 x 10(-3) M nantenine, whereas Mg2+-p-NPPase activity was not modified. Kinetic studies showed that K+-p-NPPase inhibition by nantenine is competitive to KCl but non-competitive to substrate p-NPP, whereas K+-p-NPPase stimulation by nantenine is non-competitive to KCl but competitive to p-NPP. These data suggest that there may be two acceptor sites for nantenine in p-NPPase, one eliciting stimulation and the other inhibition of K+-dependent p-NPP hydrolysis. Considering the biphasic action of nantenine on seizures and the correlation between decreased ATPase activity and seizure development, alkaloid anticonvulsant effect observed at low nantenine doses is attributable to the stimulation of phosphatase activity whereas the convulsant effect at high alkaloid doses seems related to Na+, K+-ATPase inhibition. 相似文献

Treatment of microsomes (preferentially enriched with endoplasmic reticulum) isolated from bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle tissue with H2O2 (1 mM) markedly stimulated matrix metalloproteinase activity and also inhibited Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake. Electron micrograph revealed that H2O2 (1 mM) does not cause any damage to the microsomes. MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were determined to be the ambient protease and corresponding antiprotease of the microsomes. Pretreatment with vitamin E (1 mM) and TIMP-2 (50 g/ml) reversed the effect produced by H2O2 (1 mM) on Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes. However, H2O2 (1 mM) caused changes in MMP-2 activity and Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake were not reversed upon pretreatment of the microsomes with a low concentration of 5 g/ml of TIMP-2 which otherwise reversed MMP-2 (1 g/ml) mediated increase in 14C-gelatin degradation and inhibition of Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake. Combined treatment of the microsomes with a low dose of MMP-2 (0.5 g/ml) and H2O2 (0.5 mM) inhibited Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes compared to the respective low dose of either of them. Direct treatment of TIMP-2 (5 g/ml) with H2O2 (1 mM) abolished the inhibitory effect of the inhibitor on 14C-gelatinolytic activity elicited by 1 g/ml of MMP-2. Thus, one of the mechanisms by which H2O2 activates MMP-2 could be due to inactivation of TIMP-2 by the oxidant. The resulting activation of MMP-2 subsequently inhibits Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes. (Mol Cell Biochem 270: 79–87, 2005) 相似文献

The influence of elevated CO2 concentrations on growth and photosynthesis ofGracilaria sp. andG. chilensis was investigated in order to procure information on the effective utilization of CO2. Growth of both was enhanced by CO2 enrichment (air + 650 ppm CO2, air + 1250 ppm CO2, the enhancement being greater inGracilaria sp. Both species increased uptake of NO3
– with CO2 enrichment. Photosynthetic inorganic carbon uptake was depressed inG. chilensis by pre-culture (15 days) with CO2 enrichment, but little affected inGracilaria sp. Mass spectrometric analysis showed that O2 uptake was higher in the light than in the dark for both species and in both cases was higher inGracilaria sp. The higher growth enhancement inGracilaria sp. was attributed to greater depression of photorespiration by the enrichment of CO2 in culture. 相似文献

Summary The effect of a deficiency of inorganic phosphate on the growth rate and on the invertase and phosphatase activities inSaccharomyces carlsbergensis was studied in a chemostat culture using a synthetic medium in which ethanol was the sole carbon source.The kinetic relationship between the growth rate and both the rates of phosphate uptake and the ethanol consumption agreed well with the threshold model but not the multicative model. The invertase activity of the yeast increased as the dilution rate decreased. As the phosphate concentration in the feed was reduced, the enzyme synthesis increased remarkably. Acid phosphatase activity was repressed completely above a critical molecular ratio, 0.015, of monopotassium phosphate to ethanol in the feed medium. As the phosphate concentration in the feed decreased, the maximum specific enzyme activity increased and the corresponding optimum dilution rate decreased. These experimental changes in enzyme synthesis were expressed mathematically using the modified operon models for enzyme regulation in terms of two fractions of limited inorganic phosphate; one which affects growth and the other which is incorporated in excess by the cells.Nomenclature A

We examined crosstalk between the insulin receptor and G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways in individual human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells. Treatment of cells with insulin (10 ng/ml) for 5 min markedly enhanced the proportion of cells that display an increase in intracellular [Ca2+] induced by picomolar concentrations of the GPCR agonist neurotensin. Interestingly, insulin increased the proportion of a subpopulation of cells that exhibit intracellular [Ca2+] oscillations in response to neurotensin at concentrations as low as 50-200 pM. Insulin enhanced GPCR-induced Ca2+ signaling in a time- and dose-dependent manner; a marked potentiation was obtained after an exposure to a concentration of 10 ng/ml for 5 min. Treatment with the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin abrogated the increase in GPCR-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations produced by insulin. Our results identify a novel aspect in the crosstalk between insulin receptor and GPCR signaling systems in pancreatic cancer cells, namely that insulin increases the number of [Ca2+]i oscillating cells induced by physiological concentrations of GPCR agonists through an mTORC1-dependent pathway. 相似文献

We reported here the role of amino nitrogen in the commercial production of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis media design. The insect pathogen B. thuringiensis var. israelensis was cultured in different media containing varying initial levels of amino nitrogen sources obtained from three different commercial venders. The biomass, mosquito larval toxicity and spore count produced were measured during the fermentation process. The results showed that the higher level of initial amino nitrogen concentrations in the medium led to higher yield of biomass (dry weight 4.78 g l(-1)), larvicidal activity (LC(50) 18.52 ng ml(-1)) and spore count (3.24 x 10(11) CFU ml(-1)). Similarly decreasing the initial amino nitrogen concentration in the medium led to a decreased biomass (dry weight 1.64 g l(-1)), larvicidal activity (LC(50) 27.01 ng ml(-1)) and spore count (3.7 x 10(10) CFUml(-1)). 相似文献

L-Myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase (INPS EC 5.5.1.4) catalyzes the conversion of D-glucose 6-phosphate to L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate. INPS is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of phytate which is a common form of stored phosphates in higher plants. The present study monitored the increase of INPS expression in Azolla filiculoides resulting from exposure to inorganic phosphates, metals and salt stress. The expression of INPS was significantly higher in Azolla plants that were grown in rich mineral growth medium than those maintained on nutritional growth medium. The expression of INPS protein and corresponding mRNA increased in plants cultured in minimal nutritional growth medium when phosphate or Zn2+, Cd2+ and NaCl were added to the growth medium. When employing rich mineral growth medium, INPS protein content increased with the addition of Zn2+, but decreased in the presence of Cd2+ and NaCl. These results indicated that accumulation of phytate in Azolla is a result of the intensified expression of INPS protein and mRNA, and its regulation may be primarily derived by the uptake of inorganic phosphate, and Zn2+, Cd2+ or NaCl. 相似文献
