Peroxisomal proteins in rat gametes

Peroxisomes are essential subcellular organelles, which appear to be derived from pre-existing organelles. This biogenetic mechanism assumes the presence of peroxisomes in either or both mammalian gametes (sperms and/or oocytes). In order to test the presence and subcellular localization of peroxisomal proteins in rat sperms and oocytes, the authors carried out fractionation and immunofluorescence experiments. The results showed that rat oocytes contain peroxisomelike structures, which were detected by indirect immunofluorescence, using an antisera against total peroxisomal proteins. In contrast, such structures were not detected in rat sperms, which appear to contain catalase localized in the cell cytosol. The results reported herein show evidence for the first time of the presence of peroxisome-like structures in mammalian oocytes, and provide evidence for the peroxisome biogenesis hypothesis, by division of pre-existing organelles.     

Enzymatic activities of coated vesicle fractions from bovine and rat cerebrums

The changes in the enzymatic properties of coated vesicle fractions obtained from bovine cerebrums and rat forebrains were investigated as the preparation procedures were modified. Because Mg²⁺-dependent ATPase activity in the coated vesicle fractions that were prepared by conventional centrifugation methods appeared to derive from contaminating particulates, the activity was examined after further purification by column chromatography and confirmed by histochemical technique. Both the coat proteins and the vesicles enclosed in the coat networks failed to show the activity. Since plain synaptic vesicles are known to have ATPase activities, the results may indicate that the membrane structure of synaptic vesicles is modified between the coated vesicle stage and the plain vesicle stage of vesicle recycling as Heuser and Reese proposed (J. Cell Biol.57, 315–344, 1973). The comparison of the specific activity change in ATPase with those of acetylcholinesterase and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase suggested that there were two types of microsomes contaminating coated vesicle fractions that were prepared conventionally.     

Structure-activity study of cytotoxicity and microtubule assembly in vitro by taxol and related taxanes

Fractionation of bovine brain cytosol by DEAE cellulose chromatography revealed the presence of a calcium-dependent protein kinase. This soluble neuronal protein kinase selectively phosphorylated several endogenous substrates. The most prominent substrate was a polypeptide with an apparent M_r of 45,000 which was stimulated 20-fold by addition of both calcium and calmodulin. Activation was dose-dependent, with half-maximal phosphorylation occurring at 0.9 μM free Ca²⁺ and 60nM calmodulin. The effect of calmodulin was competitively inhibited by a variety of calmodulin inhibitors, in a manner characteristic of most calmodulin-dependent enzymes. This calcium- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is distinct from any previously described protein kinase.     

Semipreparative electrophoresis with prestained proteins.

A simple method for prestaining proteins with Coomassie blue G prior to acrylamidegel electrophoresis is described. Many, although not all, undenatured proteins can be stained. This prestaining technique can be conveniently coupled with a second electrophoresis step, using Sephadex as a supporting medium, to yield isolated protein in about 4 h.     

Chlorpromazine inhibits the calcium-mediated effects of S-100 protein(s) on assembled brain microtubule proteins, but not those on microtubule protein assembly

We have examined the S-100-chlorpromazine interplay at the level of brain microtubule proteins in vitro. The results indicate that in the presence of 0.12 M KCl and 10 microM free Ca2+ the inhibitory effect of S-100 on microtubule assembly is additive to that of chlorpromazine, but S-100 fails to potentiate the disassembling effect of 0.1 mM Ca2+ if added to assembled microtubule proteins after chlorpromazine and Ca2+, probably because of inhibition of S-100 by the phenothiazine. Chlorpromazine does not compete with S-100 for binding to purified tubulin.     

Quantitation and characterization of the microtubule associated MAP2 in porcine tissues and its isolation from porcine (PK15) and human (HeLa) cell lines

A radioimmunoassay developed for the microtubule associated protein MAP₂ shows that this protein, or related polypeptides are present in all the porcine tissues studied. Nervous tissues (brain, 11 μg MAP₂/mg protein; cerebellum, 9.7 μg MAP₂/mg protein) contain much higher levels of MAP₂ than non-nervous tissues (kidney, 104 ng MAP₂/mg protein; lung 89 ng MAP₂/mg protein; spleen 66 ng MAP₂/mg protein; thyroid 21 ng MAP₂/mg protein; liver 9.7 ng MAP₂/mg protein). A heat resistant protein doublet of 300,000 with the ability to promote microtubule polymerization has been purified from pig kidney cells by affinity chromatography using MAP₂ antibodies. Using a similar purification method a protein of 200,000 daltons has been isolated from Hela cells.     

几种化学药物对柑桔裂皮病类病毒感染和复制的影响

经柑桔裂皮病类病毒(Citrus exocortis viroid,简称CEV)感染后的指示植物爪哇三七(Cynura aurantiaca),分别施用不同浓度的赤霉素(5ppm,10ppm,50ppm,100ppm,200ppm)、萘(100ppm,300ppm)、5-氟尿嘧啶(0.5mg/L,1mg/L,2mg/L)溶液,其相对感染指数(Relative infectivity index)均有程度不同的改变。抽提叶片核酸,经5％双向聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(PAGE)-银染色法结合凝胶扫描技术确定CEV浓度,辅以点杂交方法定性,观察到施用赤霉素组CEV浓度增高,施用萘组和5-氟尿嘧啶组CEV浓度均降低。用无性繁殖的柑桔苗作材料,CEV感染后分别施用50ppm赤霉素、300ppm萘、1mg/L 5-氟尿嘧啶溶液,用相同的分析方法,得到了与爪哇三七一致的结果。讨论了这三种药物影响CEV复制的意义。

Radioiodination of brain tubulin with Bolton-Hunter reagent

Radio-iodination of tubulin can be achieved by Bolton-Hunter reagent both in the absence and presence of microtubule associated proteins. Specific radioactivities as high as 400 C_i/mmole tubulin dimer can be obtained, i.e. an average of 0.2 molecule of reagent is bound per molecule of tubulin. About 80 % of the [¹²⁵I]- labelled tubulin keeps its ability to assemble in microtubules and polymerizes with the same critical concentration as the native tubulin, which makes the method adequate for preparing tracer tubulin useful for in vivo and in vitro studies. Both α and β subunits are labelled, 60 % of the radiolabel being bound to the β subunit.     

High-resolution two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of acidic,basic and surface proteins of mouse neutrophils

The proteins from murine neutrophils have been examined using isoelectric focusing and non-equilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis in the first dimension and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis as a second dimension. The major protein, actin, dominates the protein profiles and it appears to be one of the few proteins being synthesised rapidly. In the presence of protease inhibitors, neutrophil (a homogeneous, non-dividing cell population) lysates gave extremely reproducible two-dimensional electrophoretic patterns both with Coomassie blue staining (approx. 200 proteins detected) and with fluorography or autoradiography after [³⁵S]methionine biosynthetic labelling (approx. 450 proteins detected between pH 4 and 7). Biosynthetic labelling was more sensitive than protein staining for some components, although the mature neutrophils did not synthesis certain cellular proteins (e.g., granule proteins such as lactoferrin). Surface labelling of neutrophils (as indicated by the absence of ¹²⁵I associated with actin) yielded more than 20 major ¹²⁵I-labelled proteins on high-resolution electrophoretic maps. The major ¹²⁵I-labelled protein (M_r ≈ 90 kdalton) focused at the acidic end of the gels near pH 4.1. This protein could also be detected after [³⁵S]methionine biosynthetic labelling. All of the high molecular weight components focused over a broad pH range (0.2 pH units). At lease one of the surface components appeared to consist of several discrete charge entities.     

低压低氧延迟预适应小鼠海马差异表达蛋白的分离及鉴定研究

目的:探索低压低氧延迟预适应(HHDP)小鼠海马差异表达蛋白。方法:建立小鼠海马HHDP动物模型后,用含尿素的细胞裂解液提取海马总蛋白质。经等电聚焦、SDS-PAGE电泳、考马斯亮蓝R250染色,比较对照组及HHDP组双向电泳图谱上蛋白质点的差异。切取HHDP组表达增高的蛋白质点,经脱色、胰蛋白酶酶切、提取肽片段,进行MALDI-TOF-MS检测。结果:在正常对照组和HHDP组海马总蛋白双向电泳图谱上,分别检测到481±38和477±21个点,匹配点为169±6个。其中HHDP组比对照组增高大于2倍的有33±10个点,降低大于2倍的有21±12个点。电泳图谱平均相关系数为0.7748±0.0267。有12个点在HHDP组显著增高(P<0.05,n=4),对其进行了肽质量指纹图谱分析,其中8个蛋白点得到相应的肽质量指纹图谱。数据库检索显示其中一个为果糖二磷酸醛缩酶A。3个在蛋白质数据库中没有检索到与之相匹配的任何蛋白,可能为新蛋白。另外4个可找到与其有部分匹配的氨基酸序列,但分子量和等电点与对应蛋白相差悬殊,它们可能具有同源性。结论:小鼠海马HHDP时,果糖二磷酸醛缩酶A等多种蛋白表达发生改变,可能是产生HHDP的重要机制之一。     

A two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement (2D NOE) experiment for the elucidation of complete proton-proton cross-relaxation networks in biological macromolecules

The recently developed technique of two-dimensional (2D) cross-relaxation spectroscopy is utilized for systematic measurements of selective nuclear Overhauser enhancements (NOE) in the high resolution ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of biological macromolecules in solution. Compared to conventional one-dimensional NOE studies, the 2D NOE experiment has the principal advantage that it avoids detrimental effects arising from the limited selectivity of preirradiation in crowded spectral regions. Furthermore, it yields with a single instrument setting a complete network of NOE's between all the protons in the macromolecule. The resulting information on intramolecular proton-proton distances provides a new avenue for studies of the spatial structures of biopolymers.     

雌核发育草鱼同工酶分析

运用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,分析了雌核发育草鱼尾鳍中LDH、EST、SOD三种同工酶的酶谱。研究结果表明雌核发育草鱼各个体间及与普通草鱼与LDH、EST同工酶谱上表达是一致的。雌核发育草鱼中SOD酶谱与普通草鱼存在有明显差异。在雌核发育草鱼SOD酶谱区段1中检测到一条特殊的酶带(暂称之为SOD-G),SOD-G在所检测的6尾雌核发育草鱼中普遍存在,但在普通草中未检测到,初步认为SOD-G可以作为雌核发育草鱼群体的生化遗传标记。     

Rabbit plasma pretransferrin system: evidence for three new alleles

Three additional pretransferrin types have been identified by one-dimensional PAGE technique in New Zealand White and Californian rabbits. The six alleles are designated PrtA, PrtB, PrtC, PrtD, PrtE and PrtF. It is likely that three of these six alleles are identical to those reported previously.     

Detection of early pregnancy-specific proteins in Holstein milk

Bovine pregnancy is commonly diagnosed by rectal palpation or ultrasonography and changes in progesterone concentration. To determine a simpler and less expensive diagnostic method, we sought to identify early pregnancy-specific proteins in bovine milk by comparing samples collected from pregnant and non-pregnant Holstein cattle. Of the 600-700 protein spots visible on 2-DE gel images, 39 were differentially expressed in milk from pregnant and non-pregnant cattle. Antibodies generated against synthetic peptides of milk whey proteins expressed specifically during pregnancy were used to confirm protein expression patterns. Western blot analysis showed that the levels of expression of lactoferrin (lactotransferrin) and alpha1G T-type calcium channel subunit (alpha-1G) were higher in samples from pregnant than non-pregnant cattle. These findings suggest that assays for pregnancy-specific milk proteins may be used to diagnose pregnancy in cattle.     

Immunoproteomic assay of extracellular proteins in Streptococcus equi ssp. zooepidemicus

A proteomic approach combining two-dimensional electrophoresis, Western blot and matrix-assisted laser desorption tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry has been used to map the extracellular proteins of Streptococcus equi ssp. zooepidemicus ( S . zooepidemicus ) strain ATCC 35246. These bioinformatic technologies facilitated the identification of novel S . zooepidemicus vaccine candidate antigens and therapeutic agents. Despite the limitations posed by the unavailability of complete genome and proteome data for S . zooepidemicus , seven of 15 chosen immunogenic spots were successfully identified as streptococcal proteins (AE1 and AE4 c . 10) from homologous Streptococcus species. Among these, AE6 and AE7 were identified as S . zooepidemicus UDP- N -acetyl-glucosamine pyrophosphorylase and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase proteins. In addition, AE4 was determined to be glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from Enterococcus faecalis . Following signalip 3.0 ( http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/servicess/SignalIP ) prediction, data suggested that AE5, AE7 and AE9 contained signal peptides. blast ( http://www.sanger.ac.uk ) results found that nucleotide sequences of all identified proteins shared high homology (≥65%) with S. zooepidemicus . The majority of proteins identified in our study remain formally unreported in S. zooepidemicus . However, these proteins serve a vital role in the immune system and reproduction of host species. Therefore, we further evaluated the proteins as vaccine candidates in this study.
