Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase-mediated Endocytosis of Renal Na+,K+-ATPase α Subunit in Response to Dopamine 下载免费PDF全文

Dopamine (DA) inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase in proximal tubule cells is associated with increased endocytosis of its α and β subunits into early and late endosomes via a clathrin vesicle-dependent pathway. In this report we evaluated intracellular signals that could trigger this mechanism, specifically the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K), the activation of which initiates vesicular trafficking and targeting of proteins to specific cell compartments. DA stimulated PI 3-K activity in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and this effect was markedly blunted by wortmannin and LY 294002. Endocytosis of the Na+,K+-ATPase α subunit in response to DA was also inhibited in dose-dependent manner by wortmannin and LY 294002. Activation of PI 3-K generally occurs by association with tyrosine kinase receptors. However, in this study immunoprecipitation with a phosphotyrosine antibody did not reveal PI 3-K activity. DA-stimulated endocytosis of Na+,K+-ATPase α subunits required protein kinase C, and the ability of DA to stimulate PI 3-K was blocked by specific protein kinase C inhibitors. Activation of PI 3-K is mediated via the D1 receptor subtype and the sequential activation of phospholipase A2, arachidonic acid, and protein kinase C. The results indicate a key role for activation of PI 3-K in the endocytic sequence that leads to internalization of Na+,K+-ATPase α subunits in response to DA, and suggest a mechanism for the participation of protein kinase C in this process. 相似文献

The Na+-Responsive ntp Operon Is Indispensable for Homeostatis of K+ and Na+ in Enterococcus hirae at Limited Proton Potential 下载免费PDF全文
Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 grew well in Na+-deficient, low-K+ medium, but growth was inhibited by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Growth inhibition and decrease of cellular K+ levels in the presence of CCCP were relieved by the addition of Na+ and a high concentration of K+. In contrast, in the mutant defective in Na+-ATPase or the NtpJ component of the KtrII K+ uptake system, CCCP-induced growth inhibition was rescued by a high concentration of K+ but not of Na+. These transporters are thus indispensable for homeostatis of K+ and Na+ at low proton potential. 相似文献

The potassium conductance of the basolateral membrane (BLM) of proximal tubule cells is a critical regulator of transport since it is the major determinant of the negative cell membrane potential and is necessary for pump-leak coupling to the Na+,K+-ATPase pump. Despite this pivotal physiological role, the properties of this conductance have been incompletely characterized, in part due to difficulty gaining access to the BLM. We have investigated the properties of this BLM K+ conductance in dissociated, polarized Ambystoma proximal tubule cells. Nearly all seals made on Ambystoma cells contained inward rectifier K+ channels (γslope, in = 24.5 ± 0.6 pS, γchord, out = 3.7 ± 0.4 pS). The rectification is mediated in part by internal Mg2+. The open probability of the channel increases modestly with hyperpolarization. The inward conducting properties are described by a saturating binding–unbinding model. The channel conducts Tl+ and K+, but there is no significant conductance for Na+, Rb+, Cs+, Li+, NH4+, or Cl−. The channel is inhibited by barium and the sulfonylurea agent glibenclamide, but not by tetraethylammonium. Channel rundown typically occurs in the absence of ATP, but cytosolic addition of 0.2 mM ATP (or any hydrolyzable nucleoside triphosphate) sustains channel activity indefinitely. Phosphorylation processes alone fail to sustain channel activity. Higher doses of ATP (or other nucleoside triphosphates) reversibly inhibit the channel. The K+ channel opener diazoxide opens the channel in the presence of 0.2 mM ATP, but does not alleviate the inhibition of millimolar doses of ATP. We conclude that this K+ channel is the major ATP-sensitive basolateral K+ conductance in the proximal tubule. 相似文献

Differential Subcellular Localization of Protein Phosphatase-1 α, γ1, and δ Isoforms during Both Interphase and Mitosis in Mammalian Cells 下载免费PDF全文

Protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) is involved in the regulation of numerous metabolic processes in mammalian cells. The major isoforms of PP-1, α, γ1, and δ, have nearly identical catalytic domains, but they vary in sequence at their extreme NH2 and COOH termini. With specific antibodies raised against the unique COOH-terminal sequence of each isoform, we find that the three PP-1 isoforms are each expressed in all mammalian cells tested, but that they localize within these cells in a strikingly distinct and characteristic manner. Each isoform is present both within the cytoplasm and in the nucleus during interphase. Within the nucleus, PP-1 α associates with the nuclear matrix, PP-1 γ1 concentrates in nucleoli in association with RNA, and PP-1 δ localizes to nonnucleolar whole chromatin. During mitosis, PP-1 α is localized to the centrosome, PP-1 γ1 is associated with microtubules of the mitotic spindle, and PP-1 δ strongly associates with chromosomes. We conclude that PP-1 isoforms are targeted to strikingly distinct and independent sites in the cell, permitting unique and independent roles for each of the isoforms in regulating discrete cellular processes. 相似文献

Cell Cycle-Dependent Regulation of Human DNA Polymerase α-Primase Activity by Phosphorylation 下载免费PDF全文

DNA polymerase α-primase is known to be phosphorylated in human and yeast cells in a cell cycle-dependent manner on the p180 and p68 subunits. Here we show that phosphorylation of purified human DNA polymerase α-primase by purified cyclin A/cdk2 in vitro reduced its ability to initiate simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vitro, while phosphorylation by cyclin E/cdk2 stimulated its initiation activity. Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping revealed a family of p68 peptides that was modified well by cyclin A/cdk2 and poorly by cyclin E/cdk2. The p180 phosphopeptides were identical with both kinases. By mass spectrometry, the p68 peptide family was identified as residues 141 to 160. Cyclin A/cdk2- and cyclin A/cdc2-modified p68 also displayed a phosphorylation-dependent shift to slower electrophoretic mobility. Mutation of the four putative phosphorylation sites within p68 peptide residues 141 to 160 prevented its phosphorylation by cyclin A/cdk2 and the inhibition of replication activity. Phosphopeptide maps of the p68 subunit of DNA polymerase α-primase from human cells, synchronized and labeled in G1/S and in G2, revealed a cyclin E/cdk2-like pattern in G1/S and a cyclin A/cdk2-like pattern in G2. The slower-electrophoretic-mobility form of p68 was absent in human cells in G1/S and appeared as the cells entered G2/M. Consistent with this, the ability of DNA polymerase α-primase isolated from synchronized human cells to initiate SV40 replication was maximal in G1/S, decreased as the cells completed S phase, and reached a minimum in G2/M. These results suggest that the replication activity of DNA polymerase α-primase in human cells is regulated by phosphorylation in a cell cycle-dependent manner. 相似文献

The enzymatic synthesis of α,β-halohydrins from gaseous alkenes is described. The enzymatic reaction required an alkene, a halide ion, dilute hydrogen peroxide, and a haloperoxidase enzyme. A wide range of gaseous alkenes were suitable for this reaction, including those containing isolated, conjugated, and cumulative carbon-carbon double bonds. Chlorohydrins, bromohydrins, and iodohydrins could be formed. The combining of this enzymatic synthesis with a previously described enzymatic synthesis of epoxides from α,β-halohydrins provides an alternate pathway, other than the well-known enzymatic direct epoxidation pathway, from alkene to an epoxide. 相似文献

Integrin Cross Talk: Activation of Lymphocyte Function-associated Antigen-1 on Human T Cells Alters α4β1- and α5β1-mediated Function 下载免费PDF全文
A regulated order of adhesion events directs leukocytes from the vascular compartment into injured tissues in response to inflammatory stimuli. We show that on human T cells, the interaction of the β2 integrin leucocyte function–associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) with its ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) will decrease adhesion mediated by α4β1 and, to a lesser extent, α5β1. Similar inhibition is also seen when T cells are exposed to mAb 24, which stabilizes LFA-1 in an active state after triggering integrin function through divalent cation Mg2+, PdBu, or T cell receptor/ CD3 complex (TCR/CD3) cross-linking. Such cross talk decreases α4β1 integrin–mediated binding of T cells to fibronectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). In contrast, ligand occupancy or prolonged activation of β1 integrin has no effect on LFA-1 adhesion to ICAM-1. We also show that T cell migration across fibronectin, unlike adhesion, is mediated solely by α5β1, and is increased when the α4β1-mediated component of fibronectin adhesion is decreased either by cross talk or the use of α4-blocking mAb. The ability of mAb 24 Fab′ fragments to induce cross talk without cross-linking LFA-1 suggests signal transduction through the active integrin. These data provide the first direct evidence for cross talk between LFA-1 and β1 integrins on T cells. Together, these findings imply that activation of LFA-1 on the extravasating T cell will decrease the binding to VCAM-1 while enhancing the subsequent migration on fibronectin. This sequence of events provides a further level of complexity to the coordination of T cell integrins, whose sequential but overlapping roles are essential for transmigration. 相似文献

α5β1 Integrin Controls Cyclin D1 Expression by Sustaining Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Activity in Growth Factor-treated Cells 下载免费PDF全文

Cyclin D1 expression is jointly regulated by growth factors and cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix in many cell types. Growth factors are thought to regulate cyclin D1 expression because they stimulate sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity. However, we show here that growth factors induce transient ERK activity when added to suspended fibroblasts and sustained ERK activity only when added to adherent fibroblasts. Cell attachment to fibronectin or anti-alpha5beta1 integrin is sufficient to sustain the ERK signal and to induce cyclin D1 in growth factor-treated cells. Moreover, when we force the sustained activation of ERK, by conditional expression of a constitutively active MAP kinase/ERK kinase, we overcome the adhesion requirement for expression of cyclin D1. Thus, at least in part, fibroblasts are mitogen and anchorage dependent, because integrin action allows for a sustained ERK signal and the expression of cyclin D1 in growth factor-treated cells. 相似文献

Expression of the Mucosal Homing Receptor α4β7 Correlates with the Ability of CD8+ Memory T Cells To Clear Rotavirus Infection 下载免费PDF全文
Jason R. Ros Marna B. Williams Lusijah S. Rott Eugene C. Butcher Harry B. Greenberg 《Journal of virology》1998,72(1):726-730
The integrin α4β7 plays an important role in lymphocyte homing to mucosal lymphoid tissues and has been shown to define a subpopulation of memory T cells capable of homing to intestinal sites. Here we have used a well-characterized intestinal virus, murine rotavirus, to investigate whether memory/effector function for an intestinal pathogen is associated with α4β7 expression. α4β7hi memory phenotype (CD44hi), α4β7− memory phenotype, and presumptively naive (CD44lo) CD8+ T lymphocytes from rotavirus-infected mice were sorted and transferred into Rag-2 (T- and B-cell-deficient) recipients that were chronically infected with murine rotavirus. α4β7hi memory phenotype CD8+ cells were highly efficient at clearing rotavirus infection, α4β7− memory cells were inefficient or ineffective, depending on the cell numbers transferred, and CD44lo cells were completely unable to clear chronic rotavirus infection. These data demonstrate that functional memory for rotavirus resides primarily in memory phenotype cells that display the mucosal homing receptor α4β7. 相似文献

κ-Conotoxin PVIIA (κ-PVIIA), a 27-amino acid peptide identified from the venom of Conus purpurascens, inhibits the Shaker K+ channel by blocking its outer pore. The toxin appears as a gating modifier because its binding affinity decreases with relatively fast kinetics upon channel opening, but there is no indication that it interferes with the gating transitions of the wild-type channels (WT), including the structural changes of the outer pore that underlie its slow C-type inactivation. In this report we demonstrate that in two outer pore mutants of Shaker-IR (M448K and T449S), that have high toxin sensitivity and fast C-type inactivation, the latter process is instead antagonized by and incompatible with κ-PVIIA binding. Inactivation is slowed by the necessary preliminary unbinding of κ-PVIIA, whereas toxin rebinding must await recovery from inactivation causing a double-exponential relaxation of the second response to double-pulse stimulations. Compared with the lack of similar effects in WT, these results demonstrate the ability of peptide toxins like κ-PVIIA to reveal possibly subtle differences in structural changes of the outer pore of K+ channels; however, they also warn against a naive use of fast inactivating mutants as models for C-type inactivation. Unfolded from the antagonistic effect of inactivation, toxin binding to mutant noninactivated channels shows state- and voltage-dependencies similar to WT: slow and high affinity for closed channels; relatively fast dissociation from open channels at rate increasing with voltage. This supports the idea that these properties depend mainly on interactions with pore-permeation processes that are not affected by the mutations. In mutant channels the state-dependence also greatly enhances the protection of toxin binding against steady-state inactivation at low depolarizations while still allowing large responses to depolarizing pulses that relieve toxin block. Although not obviously applicable to any known combination of natural channel and outer-pore blocker, our biophysical characterization of such highly efficient mechanism of protection from steady-state outer-pore inactivation may be of general interest. 相似文献

Ca2+ Current and Charge Movements in Skeletal Myotubes Promoted by the β-Subunit of the Dihydropyridine Receptor in the Absence of Ryanodine Receptor Type 1 下载免费PDF全文

The β-subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) enhances the Ca2+ channel and voltage-sensing functions of the DHPR. In skeletal myotubes, there is additional modulation of DHPR functions imposed by the presence of ryanodine receptor type-1 (RyR1). Here, we examined the participation of the β-subunit in the expression of L-type Ca2+ current and charge movements in RyR1 knock-out (KO), β1 KO, and double β1/RyR1 KO myotubes generated by mating heterozygous β1 KO and RyR1 KO mice. Primary myotube cultures of each genotype were transfected with various β-isoforms and then whole-cell voltage-clamped for measurements of Ca2+ and gating currents. Overexpression of the endogenous skeletal β1a isoform resulted in a low-density Ca2+ current either in RyR1 KO (36 ± 9 pS/pF) or in β1/RyR1 KO (34 ± 7 pS/pF) myotubes. However, the heterologous β2a variant with a double cysteine motif in the N-terminus (C3, C4), recovered a Ca2+ current that was entirely wild-type in density in RyR1 KO (195 ± 16 pS/pF) and was significantly enhanced in double β1/RyR1 KO (115 ± 18 pS/pF) myotubes. Other variants tested from the four β gene families (β1a, β1b, β1c, β3, and β4) were unable to enhance Ca2+ current expression in RyR1 KO myotubes. In contrast, intramembrane charge movements in β2a-expressing β1a/RyR1 KO myotubes were significantly lower than in β1a-expressing β1a/RyR1 KO myotubes, and the same tendency was observed in the RyR1 KO myotube. Thus, β2a had a preferential ability to recover Ca2+ current, whereas β1a had a preferential ability to rescue charge movements. Elimination of the double cysteine motif (β2a C3,4S) eliminated the RyR1-independent Ca2+ current expression. Furthermore, Ca2+ current enhancement was observed with a β2a variant lacking the double cysteine motif and fused to the surface membrane glycoprotein CD8. Thus, tethering the β2a variant to the myotube surface activated the DHPR Ca2+ current and bypassed the requirement for RyR1. The data suggest that the Ca2+ current expressed by the native skeletal DHPR complex has an inherently low density due to inhibitory interactions within the DHPR and that the β1a-subunit is critically involved in process. 相似文献

Occludin is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues during the oxidative
stress-induced disruption of tight junction, and in vitro
phosphorylation of occludin by c-Src attenuates its binding to ZO-1. In the
present study mass spectrometric analyses of C-terminal domain of occludin
identified Tyr-379 and Tyr-383 in chicken occludin as the phosphorylation
sites, which are located in a highly conserved sequence of occludin, YETDYTT;
Tyr-398 and Tyr-402 are the corresponding residues in human occludin. Deletion
of YETDYTT motif abolished the c-Src-mediated phosphorylation of occludin and
the regulation of ZO-1 binding. Y398A and Y402A mutations in human occludin
also abolished the c-Src-mediated phosphorylation and regulation of ZO-1
binding. Y398D/Y402D mutation resulted in a dramatic reduction in ZO-1 binding
even in the absence of c-Src. Similar to wild type occludin, its Y398A/Y402A
mutant was localized at the plasma membrane and cell-cell contact sites in
Rat-1 cells. However, Y398D/Y402D mutants of occludin failed to localize at
the cell-cell contacts. Calcium-induced reassembly of Y398D/Y402D mutant
occludin in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells was significantly delayed compared
with that of wild type occludin or its T398A/T402A mutant. Furthermore,
expression of Y398D/Y402D mutant of occludin sensitized MDCK cells for
hydrogen peroxide-induced barrier disruption. This study reveals a unique
motif in the occludin sequence that is involved in the regulation of ZO-1
binding by reversible phosphorylation of specific Tyr residues.Epithelial tight junctions
(TJs)2 form a
selective barrier to the diffusion of toxins, allergens, and pathogens from
the external environment into the tissues in the gastrointestinal tract, lung,
liver, and kidney (1).
Disruption of TJs is associated with the gastrointestinal diseases such as
inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, infectious enterocolitis, and
colon cancer
(2–4)
as well as in diseases of lung and kidney
(5,
6). Numerous inflammatory
mediators such as tumor necrosis factor α, interferon γ, and
oxidative stress
(7–12)
are known to disrupt the epithelial TJs and the barrier function. Several
studies have indicated that hydrogen peroxide disrupts the TJs in intestinal
epithelium by a tyrosine kinase-dependent mechanism
(11,
12).Four types of integral proteins, occludin, claudins, junctional adhesion
molecules, and tricellulin are associated with TJs. Occludin, claudins, and
tricellulin are tetraspan proteins, and their extracellular domains interact
with homotypic domains of the adjacent cells
(1,
2,
13). The intracellular domains
of these proteins interact with a variety of soluble proteins such as ZO-1,
ZO-2, ZO-3, 7H6, cingulin, and symplekin
(14–23);
this protein complex interacts with the perijunctional actomyosin ring. The
interactions among TJ proteins are essential for the assembly and the
maintenance of TJs. Therefore, regulation of the interactions among TJ
proteins may regulate the TJ integrity. A significant body of evidence
indicates that numerous signaling molecules are associated with the TJs.
Protein kinases and protein phosphatases such as protein kinase Cζ
(PKCζ), PKCι/λ
(24), c-Src
(25), c-Yes
(26,
27), mitogen-activated protein
kinase (28), PP2A, and PP1
(29) interact with TJs,
indicating that TJs are dynamically regulated by intracellular signal
transduction involving protein phosphorylation. Additionally, other signaling
molecules such as calcium
(30), phosphatidylinositol
3-kinase (31), Rho
(32), and Rac
(33) are involved in the
regulation of TJs.Occludin, a ∼65-kDa protein, has been well characterized to be
assembled into the TJs. Although occludin knock-out mice showed the formation
of intact TJs in different epithelia
(34), numerous studies have
emphasized that it plays an important role in the regulation of TJ integrity.
Occludin spans the membrane four times to form two extracellular loops and one
intracellular loop, and the N-terminal and C-terminal domains hang into the
intracellular compartment
(35–37).
In epithelium with intact TJs, occludin is highly phosphorylated on Ser and
Thr residues (38), whereas Tyr
phosphorylation is undetectable. However, the disruption of TJs in Caco-2 cell
monolayers by oxidative stress and acetaldehyde leads to Tyr phosphorylation
of occludin; the tyrosine kinase inhibitors attenuate the disruption of TJs
(39,
40). Furthermore, a previous
in vitro study demonstrated that Tyr phosphorylation of the
C-terminal domain of occludin leads to the loss of its interaction with ZO-1
and ZO-3 (25).In the present study we identified the Tyr residues in occludin that are
phosphorylated by c-Src and determined their role in regulated interaction
between occludin and ZO-1 and its assembly into the TJs. Results show that 1)
Tyr-379 and Tyr-383 in chicken occludin and Tyr-398 and Tyr-402 in human
occludin are the exclusive sites of phosphorylation by c-Src, and these Tyr
residues are located in a highly conserved sequence of occludin, YET-DYTT, 2)
deletion of YEDTYTT or point mutation of Tyr-398 and Tyr-402 in human occludin
attenuates the phosphorylation-dependent regulation of ZO-1 binding, 3)
Y398D/Y402D mutation of human occludin leads to loss of ZO-1 binding and
prevents its translocation to the plasma membrane and cell-cell contact sites
in Rat-1 cells, 4) Y398D/Y402D mutation of occludin delays its assembly into
the intercellular junctions during the calcium-induced assembly of TJs, and 5)
expression of Y398D/Y402D mutant occludin sensitizes cell monolayers for
hydrogen peroxide-induced disruption of barrier function. 相似文献

Overexpression of the Heterotrimeric G-Protein α-Subunit Enhances Phytochrome-Mediated Inhibition of Hypocotyl Elongation in Arabidopsis 下载免费PDF全文
Plant heterotrimeric G-proteins have been implicated in a number of signaling processes. However, most of these studies are based on biochemical or pharmacological approaches. To examine the role of heterotrimeric G-proteins in plant development, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis expressing the Galpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein under the control of a glucocorticoid-inducible promoter. With the conditional overexpression of either the wild type or a constitutively active version of Arabidopsis Galpha, transgenic seedlings exhibited a hypersensitive response to light. This enhanced light sensitivity was more exaggerated in a relatively lower intensity of light and was observed in white light as well as far-red, red, and blue light conditions. The enhanced responses in far-red and red light required functional phytochrome A and phytochrome B, respectively. Furthermore, the response to far-red light depended on functional FHY1 but not on FIN219 and FHY3. This dependence on FHY1 indicates that the Arabidopsis Galpha protein may act only on a discrete branch of the phytochrome A signaling pathway. Thus, our results support the involvement of a heterotrimeric G-protein in the light regulation of Arabidopsis seedling development. 相似文献

CEACAM1-LF, a homotypic cell adhesion adhesion molecule, transduces intracellular signals via a 72 amino acid cytoplasmic domain that contains two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) and a binding site for β-catenin. Phosphorylation of Ser503 by PKC in rodent CEACAM1 was shown to affect bile acid transport or hepatosteatosis via the level of ITIM phosphorylation, but the phosphorylation of the equivalent residue in human CEACAM1 (Ser508) was unclear. Here we studied this analogous phosphorylation by NMR analysis of the 15N labeled cytoplasmic domain peptide. Incubation with a variety of Ser/Thr kinases revealed phosphorylation of Ser508 by GSK3bβ but not by PKC. The lack of phosphorylation by PKC is likely due to evolutionary sequence changes between the rodent and human genes. Phosphorylation site assignment by mass spectrometry and NMR revealed phosphorylation of Ser472, Ser461 and Ser512 by PKA, of which Ser512 is part of a conserved consensus site for GSK3β binding. We showed here that only after phosphorylation of Ser512 by PKA was GSK3β able to phosphorylate Ser508. Phosphorylation of Ser512 by PKA promoted a tight association with the armadillo repeat domain of β-catenin at an extended region spanning the ITIMs of CEACAM1. The kinetics of phosphorylation of the ITIMs by Src, as well dephosphorylation by SHP2, were affected by the presence of Ser508/512 phosphorylation, suggesting that PKA and GSK3β may regulate the signal transduction activity of human CEACAM1-LF. The interaction of CEACAM1-LF with β-catenin promoted by PKA is suggestive of a tight association between the two ITIMs of CEACAM1-LF. 相似文献

A Polypeptide with Similarity to Phycocyanin α-Subunit Phycocyanobilin Lyase Involved in Degradation of Phycobilisomes 下载免费PDF全文
To optimize the utilization of photosynthate and avoid damage that can result from the absorption of excess excitation energy, photosynthetic organisms must rapidly modify the synthesis and activities of components of the photosynthetic apparatus in response to environmental cues. During nutrient-limited growth, cyanobacteria degrade their light-harvesting complex, the phycobilisome, and dramatically reduce the rate of photosynthetic electron transport. In this report, we describe the isolation and characterization of a cyanobacterial mutant that does not degrade its phycobilisomes during either sulfur or nitrogen limitation and exhibits an increased ratio of phycocyanin to chlorophyll during nutrient-replete growth. The mutant phenotype was complemented by a gene encoding a polypeptide with similarities to polypeptides that catalyze covalent bond formation between linear tetrapyrrole chromophores and subunits of apophycobiliproteins. The complementing gene, designated nblB, is expressed at approximately the same level in cells grown in nutrient-replete medium and medium devoid of either sulfur or nitrogen. These results suggest that the NblB polypeptide may be a constitutive part of the machinery that coordinates phycobilisome degradation with environmental conditions. 相似文献
