The purpose of this study was to identify the seleno-l-methionine (l-SeMet) α,γ-elimination enzyme that catalyzes l-SeMet to generate methylselenol (CH3SeH), a notable intermediate for the metabolism of selenium compounds, in mammalian tissues. The enzyme purified from ICR
mouse liver was separated by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and the specific band was subjected to in-gel trypsin digestion
followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometric analysis. In the peptide mass fingerprinting
search, the mass numbers of 14 peptides produced by tryptic digestion of the enzyme were consistent with the theoretical mass
numbers calculated from the amino acid sequence of murine cystathionine γ-lyase (E.C. 4.4.1.1). The peptide sequence tags
search was also performed to obtain the amino acid sequence data of five tryptic peptides. These peptides were significantly
identical to the partial amino acid sequences of cystathionine γ-lyase. This enzyme was clearly shown to catalyze the α, γ-elimination
reaction of l-cystathionine by the enzymological research. The K
m
value for the catalysis of l-cystathionine was 0.81 mM and V
max was. 0.0013 unit/mg protein. These results suggested that cystathionine γ-lyase catalyzes l-SeMet to generate CH3SeH by its α,γ-elimination reaction. 相似文献

We have previously shown that the maize (Zea mays L.) storage prolamine γ-zein, accumulates in endoplasmic reticulum-derived protein bodies in transgenic plants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) ecotype R+P. The retention of γ-zein in the endoplasmic reticulum was found to be mediated by structural features contained
in the polypeptide, an N-terminal proline-rich and a C-terminal cysteine-rich domain which were necessary for the correct
retention and assembly of γ-zein within protein bodies (M.I. Geli et al., 1994, Plant Cell 6: 1911–1922). In the present work
we incorporated in the γ-zein gene lysine-rich coding sequences which were positioned after the N-terminal proline-rich domain
and at five amino-acid residues from the C-terminus. The targeting of lysine-rich γ-zeins was analyzed by expression of chimeric
genes regulated by the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. The lysine-rich γ-zeins were detected by immunoblotting and we found that these proteins were modified post-translationally
to reach their mature form. Subcellular fractionation and immunocytochemical studies demonstrated that glycosylated lysine-rich
γ-zeins were secreted to the cell wall of transgenic Arabidopsis leaf cells.

PA28 subunits of the mouse proteasome: primary structures and chromosomal localization of the genes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The 20S proteasome is a multi-subunit protease responsible for the production of peptides presented by major histocompatibility
complex (MHC) class I molecules. Recent evidence indicates that an interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-inducible PA28 activator complex enhances
the generation of class I binding peptides by altering the cleavage pattern of the proteasome. In the present study, we determined
the primary structures of the mouse PA28 α- and β-subunits. The deduced amino acid sequences of the α- and β-subunits were
49% identical. We also determined the primary structure of the mouse PA28 γ-subunit (Ki antigen), a protein of unknown function
structurally related to the α- and β-subunits. The amino acid sequence identity of the γ-subunit to the α- and β-subunits
was 40% and 32%, respectively. Interspecific backcross mapping showed that the mouse genes coding for the α- and β-subunits
(designated Psme1 and Psme2, respectively) are tightly linked and map close to the Atp5g1 locus on chromosome 14. Thus, unlike the LMP2 and LMP7 subunits, the IFN-γ-inducible subunits of PA28 are encoded outside
the MHC. The gene coding for the γ-subunit (designated Psme3) was mapped to the vicinity of the Brca1 locus on chromosome 11. A computer search of the DNA databases identified a γ-subunit-like protein in ticks and Caenorhabditis elegans, the organisms with no adaptive immune system. It appears that the IFN-γ-inducible α- and β-subunits emerged by gene duplication
from a γ-subunit-like precursor.

Invasive species trigger biodiversity losses and alter ecosystem functioning, with life history shaping invasiveness (Sakai
et al., Annu Rev Ecol Syst 32:305–332, 2001). However, pinpointing the relation of a specific life history to invasion success
is difficult. One approach may be comparing congeners. The two Palearctic pavement ants, Tetramorium sp.E (widely known as T. caespitum, Schlick-Steiner et al., Mol Phylogenet Evol 40:259–273, 2006) and T. tsushimae have invaded North America (Steiner et al., Biol Invasions 8:117–123, 2006). Their life histories differ in that T. sp.E has separate single-queened colonies but T. tsushimae multi-queened colonies scattered over large areas (Sanada-Morimura et al., Insect Soc 53:141–148, 2006; Schlick-Steiner et al.,
Mol Phylogenet Evol 40:259–273, 2006; Steiner et al., Biol Invasions 8:117–123, 2006). Comparison of the genetic diversity in the entire native and non-native ranges will elucidate the invasion histories. Here,
we present 13 and 11 microsatellites, developed for T. sp.E and T. tsushimae, respectively, and characterize all for both species.

Voltage-gated potassium channels of the ether-a-go-go related gene (ERG) family are implicated in many important cellular processes. Three such genes have been cloned (erg1, erg2 and erg3) and shown to be expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammalians. This communication describes the isolation
and characterization of two isoforms of scorpion toxin (CeErg4 and CeErg5, systematic nomenclature γ-KTx1.7 and γ-KTx1.8,
respectively) that can discriminate the various subtypes of ERG channels of human and rat. These peptides were purified from
the venom of the Mexican scorpion Centruroides elegans elegans. They contain 42 amino acid residues, tightly folded by four disulfide bridges. Both peptides block in a reversible manner
human and rat ERG1 channels, but have no effect on human ERG2. They also block completely and irreversibly the rat ERG2 and
the human ERG3 channels hence are excellent tools for the discrimination of the various sub-types of ion-channels studied.

Temperature controls a latitudinal gradient in the proportion of watershed nitrogen exported to coastal ecosystems 总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1
Increased export of biologically available nitrogen (N) to the coastal zone is strongly linked to eutrophication, which is
a major problem in coastal marine ecosystems (NRC (2000) Clean Coastal Waters: Understanding and Reducing the Effects of Nutrient Pollution. National Academy Press, Washington,
DC; Bricker et al. (1999) National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment. Effects of nutrient enrichment in the nation’s estuaries. NOAA-NOS Special
Projects Office, Silver Spring, MD). However, not all of the nitrogen input to a watershed is exported to the coast (Howarth
et al. (1996) Biogeochemistry 35:75–139; Jordan and Weller (1996) Bioscience 46:655–664). Global estimates of nitrogen export to coasts have been taken to be 25% of watershed input, based
largely on northeastern U.S. observations (Galloway et al. (2004) Biogeochemistry 70:153–226; Boyer et al. (2006) Global Biogeochem Cycle 20:Art. No. GB1S91). We applied the N budgeting methodology developed for the International SCOPE
Nitrogen project (Howarth et al. (1996) Biogeochemistry 35:75–139; Boyer et al. (2002) Biogeochemistry 57:137–169) to 12 watersheds in the southeastern U.S., and compared them with estimates of N export for
16 watersheds in the northeastern U.S. (Boyer et al. (2002) Biogeochemistry 57:137–169). In southeastern watersheds, average N export was only 9% of input, suggesting the need for
downward revision of global estimates. The difference between northern and southern watersheds is not a function of the absolute
value of N inputs, which spanned a comparable range and were positively related to export in both cases. Rather, the proportion
of N exported was significantly related to average watershed temperature (% N export = 58.41 e−0.11 * temperature; R
2 = 0.76), with lower proportionate nitrogen export in warmer watersheds. In addition, we identified a threshold in proportionate
N export at 38°N latitude that corresponds to a reported breakpoint in the rate of denitrification at 10–12°C. We hypothesize
that temperature, by regulating denitrification, results in increased proportionate N export at higher latitudes. Regardless
of the mechanism, these observations suggest that temperature increases associated with future climate change may well reduce
the amount of nitrogen that reaches estuaries, which will have implications for coastal eutrophication. 相似文献

Development of addiction to alcohol or other substances can be attributed in part to exposure-dependent modifications at synaptic
efficacy leading to an organism which functions at an altered homeostatic setpoint. Genetic factors may also influence setpoints
and the stability of the homeostatic system of an organism. Quantitative genetic analysis of voluntary alcohol drinking, and
mapping of the involved genes in the quasi-congenic Recombinant QTL Introgression strain system, identified Eac2 as a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) on mouse chromosome 6 which explained 18% of the variance with an effect size of 2.09 g/kg/day
alcohol consumption, and Grm7 as a quantitative trait gene underlying Eac2 [Vadasz et al. in Neurochem Res 32:1099–1112, 100, Genomics 90:690–702, 102]. In earlier studies, the product of Grm7 mGluR7, a G protein-coupled receptor, has been implicated in stress systems [Mitsukawa et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102:18712–18717,
63], anxiety-like behaviors [Cryan et al. in Eur J Neurosci 17:2409–2417, 14], memory [Holscher et al. in Learn Mem 12:450–455, 26], and psychiatric disorders (e.g., [Mick et al. in Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 147B:1412–1418, 61; Ohtsuki et al. in Schizophr Res 101:9–16, 72; Pergadia et al. in Paper presented at the 38th Annual Meeting of the Behavior Genetics Association, Louisville, Kentucky,
USA, 76]. Here, in experiments with mice, we show that (1) Grm7 knockout mice express increased alcohol consumption, (2) sub-congenic, and congenic mice carrying a Grm7 variant characterized by higher Grm7 mRNA drink less alcohol, and show a tendency for higher circadian dark phase motor activity in a wheel running paradigm,
respectively, and (3) there are significant genetic differences in Grm7 mRNA abundance in the mouse brain between congenic and background mice identifying brain areas whose function is implicated
in addiction related processes. We hypothesize that metabotropic glutamate receptors may function as regulators of homeostasis,
and Grm7 (mGluR7) is involved in multiple processes (including stress, circadian activity, reward control, memory, etc.) which interact
with substance use and the development of addiction. In conclusion, we suggest that mGluR7 is a significant new therapeutic
target in addiction and related neurobehavioral disorders. 相似文献

We have investigated the influence of dietary nucleotides on the intestinal immune system in ovalbumin (OVA)-specific T-cell
receptor (TCR) transgenic mice (OVA-TCR Tg mice). When mice were supplied with water supplemented with 2% OVA ad libitum, the faecal OVA-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) level significantly increased in those fed a nucleotide-supplemented diet
(NT(+) diet) compared with those fed a nucleotide-free control diet (NT(–) diet). In the NT(+) diet-fed mice, secretion of
transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), which is an isotype-specific switch factor for IgA, from intestinal epithelial cells
(IECs) was significantly increased. Furthermore, an increased proportion of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs)
bearing γδ TCR (TCRγδ+ IELs) and increased secretion from IECs of interleukin 7 (IL-7), which is essential for the development of TCRγδ+ IELs, were also observed in OVA-TCR-Tg mice fed the NT(+) diet, as we previously demonstrated using BALB/c mice (Nagafuchi
et al., Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 64: 1459-65 (2000)). Considering that TCRγδ+ T cells and TGF-β are important for an induction of the mucosal IgA response, our results suggest that dietary nucleotides
augment the mucosal OVA-specific IgA response by increasing the secretion of TGF-β from IECs and the proportion of TCRγδ+ IELs.

Polymorphic variability in immune response genes, such as IL12B, encoding the IL-12p40 subunit is associated with susceptibility to severe malaria in African populations. Since the role
of genetic variation in conditioning severe malaria in Thai adults is largely unexplored, the functional association between
IL12B polymorphisms [i.e. IL12Bpro (rs17860508) and IL12B 3′ UTR T/G (rs3212227)], severe malaria and cytokine production was examined in patients with Plasmodium falciparum infections (n = 355) recruited from malaria endemic areas along the Thai–Myanmar border in northwest Thailand. Circulating IL-12p40 (p = 0.049) and IFN-γ (p = 0.051) were elevated in patients with severe malaria, while only IL-12p40 was significantly higher in severe malaria patients
with hyperparasitaemia (p = 0.046). Carriage of the IL12Bpro1.1 genotype was associated with enhanced severity of malaria (OR, 2.34; 95% CI, 0.94–5.81; p = 0.066) and hyperparasitaemia (OR, 3.42; 95% CI, 1.17–9.87; p = 0.025) relative to the IL12Bpro2.2 genotype (wild type). Individuals with the IL12Bpro1.1 genotype also had the lowest IL-12p40 (p = 0.002) and the highest IFN-γ (p = 0.004) levels. Construction of haplotypes revealed that carriage of the IL12Bpro-2/3′ UTR-T haplotype was associated with protection against severe malaria (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.29–0.90; p = 0.020) and reduced circulating IFN-γ (p = 0.06). Thus, genotypic and haplotypic variation at IL12Bpro and IL12B 3′ UTR in this population influences susceptibility to severe malaria and functional changes in circulating IL-12p40 and
IFN-γ levels. Results presented here suggest that protection against severe malaria in Thai adults is associated with genotypic
variants that condition enhanced IL-12p40 and reduced IFN-γ levels. 相似文献

A remarkable diversity of venom peptides is expressed in the genus Conus (known as “conotoxins” or “conopeptides”). Between 50 and 200 different venom peptides can be found in a single Conus species, each having its own complement of peptides. Conopeptides are encoded by a few gene superfamilies; here we analyze
the evolution of the A-superfamily in a fish-hunting species clade, Pionoconus. More than 90 conopeptide sequences from 11 different Conus species were used to build a phylogenetic tree. Comparison with a species tree based on standard genes reveals multiple gene
duplication events, some of which took place before the Pionoconus radiation. By analysing several A-conopeptides from other Conus species recorded in GenBank, we date the major duplication events after the divergence between fish-hunting and non-fish-hunting
species. Furthermore, likelihood approaches revealed strong positive selection; the magnitude depends on which A-conopeptide
lineage and amino-acid locus is analyzed. The four major A-conopeptide clades defined are consistent with the current division
of the superfamily into families and subfamilies based on the Cys pattern. The function of three of these clades (the κA-family,
the α4/7-subfamily, and α3/5-subfamily) has previously been characterized. The function of the remaining clade, corresponding
to the α4/4-subfamily, has not been elucidated. This subfamily is also found in several other fish-hunting species clades
within Conus. The analysis revealed a surprisingly diverse origin of α4/4 conopeptides from a single species, Conus bullatus. This phylogenetic approach that defines different genetic lineages of Conus venom peptides provides a guidepost for identifying conopeptides with potentially novel functions. 相似文献

Recent crystal structures of cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) suggest the presence of two posttranslational modifications adjacent
to the catalytic iron center: a thioether cross-link between Cys93 and Tyr157 and extra electron density at Cys164 which was
variously explained as cystine or cysteine sulfinic acid. Purification of recombinant rat CDO yields “mature” and “immature”
forms with distinct electrophoretic mobilities. We have positively identified and characterized the two modifications in the
products of three sequential proteolytic digestions using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The
cross-link is unique to the mature form and was identified in an ion of m/z 3,225.403, consistent with a Tyr-Cys cross-link of peptides Gly80-Phe94 with His155-Phe167. The cross-link is liable to cleavage
by in-source decay and the resulting separate peptides were sequenced by collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry.
Mass-spectrometric analysis of these same and overlapping peptides in the presence or absence of reductants and alkylating
agents identified the second modification to be a cystine formed between Cys164 and exogenous cysteine as proposed earlier.
Both modifications have been shown to form in the presence of high levels of cysteine and iron. This and the presence of small
amounts of an apparently off-pathway cystine at position Cys93 suggest that although these conditions promote CDO maturation,
they may actually arise via nonenzymatic, nonphysiological processes.

Smad2 is a crucial component of transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling, and is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation,
death and differentiation. Phosphorylation, ubiquitylation and acetylation of Smad2 have been found to regulate its activity.
We used mass spectrometry to search for novel post-translational modifications (PTMs) of Smad2. Peptide mass fingerprinting
(PMF) indicated that Smad2 can be acetylated, methylated, citrullinated, phosphorylated and palmitoylated. Sequencing of selected
peptides validated methylation at Gly122 and hydroxylation at Trp18 of Smad2. We also observed a novel, so far unidentified
modification at Tyr128 and Tyr151. Our observations open for further exploration of biological importance of the detected
PTMs.

The Protein Kinase C family of enzymes is a group of serine/threonine kinases that play central roles in cell-cycle regulation,
development and cancer. A key step in the activation of PKC is translocation to membranes and binding of membrane-associated
activators including diacylglycerol (DAG). Interaction of novel and conventional isotypes of PKC with DAG and phorbol esters
occurs through the two C1 regulatory domains (C1A and C1B), which exhibit distinct ligand binding selectivity that likely
controls enzyme activation by different co-activators. PKC has also been implicated in physiological responses to alcohol
consumption and it has been proposed that PKCα (Slater et al. J Biol Chem 272(10):6167–6173, 1997; Slater et al. Biochemistry 43(23):7601–7609, 2004), PKCε (Das et al. Biochem J 421(3):405–413, 2009) and PKCδ (Das et al. J Biol Chem 279(36):37964–37972, 2004; Das et al. Protein Sci 15(9):2107–2119, 2006) contain specific alcohol-binding sites in their C1 domains. We are interested in understanding how ethanol affects signal
transduction processes through its affects on the structure and function of the C1 domains of PKC. Here we present the 1H, 15N and 13C NMR chemical shift assignments for the Rattus norvegicus PKCδ C1A and C1B proteins. 相似文献

Various post-translational modifications (PTMs) of pilin in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 have been proposed. In this study, we investigated previously unidentified PTMs of pilin by mass spectrometry (MS). MALDI-TOF MS and TOF/TOF MS showed that the molecular mass of the C-terminal lysine of pilin was increased by 42 Da, which could represent acetylation (ΔM = 42.0470) or trimethylation (ΔM = 42.0106). To discriminate between these isobaric modifications, the molecular mass of the C-terminal tryptic peptide was measured using 15T Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) MS. The high magnetic field FT-ICR provided sub-ppm mass accuracy, revealing that the C-terminal lysine was modified by trimethylation. We could also detect the existence of mono- and di-methylation of the C-terminal lysine. Cells expressing a pilin point mutant with glutamine replacing the C-terminal lysine showed dramatically reduced motility and short pili. These findings suggest that trimethylation of pilin at the C-terminal lysine may be essential for the biogenesis of functional pili. 相似文献

The oscillating drop surfactometer (ODS) measures surface tension (γ) and energy dissipation (damping constant b) of surfactant on a 1 μl sample. γ is obtained from the period of oscillation and b from its free decay or from the phase shift slope in resonance. After calibration with substances with different γ, corrections
were made for capillary fixation and loss of mass by evaporation. Surface active substances are delivered from liposomes in
the interior (subphase) or injected from outside, with microdrops (180 pl each) of solution. As an application example, we
have investigated surfactant extract and pure phospholipid. In minutes after formation of a drop containing a diluted Survanta
suspension, γ decreases by 20 mN/m, while b increases three-fold. This effect, assigned to spontaneous adsorption from liposomes to the surface, is not seen with pure
dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) under our conditions. However, microdrop injection of DPPC triggers a rapid decrease
of γ and a delayed strong increase in b. The effect is modulated by DPPC in the subphase and by cholesterol. Investigations with l-α-lysophosphatidylcholine show the high sensitivity of the ODS technique in the determination of the energy dissipation at
air-liquid boundary surfaces. Although the ODS is limited to applications with γ > 15 mN m−1, it offers the advantage to give, with small samples and within seconds, a simultaneous readout of both surface tension γ
and the parameter b, as a measure of surface viscosity.

γ-Decalactone is a peachy aroma compound resulting from the peroxisomal β-oxidation of ricinoleic acid by yeasts. The expression
levels of acyl-CoA oxidase (gene deletion) and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase activities (gene amplification on replicative plasmids)
were modified in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. The effects of these modifications on β-oxidation were measured. Overexpression of thiolase activity did not have any effect
on the overall β-oxidation activity. The disruption of one of the acyl-CoA oxidase genes resulted in an enhanced activity.
The enhancement led to an increase of overall β-oxidation activity but reduced the γ-decalactone production rates. This seemed
to indicate a non-rate-limiting role for β-oxidation in the biotransformation of ricinoleic acid to γ-decalactone by the yeast
Yarrowia lipolytica. All strains produced and then consumed γ-decalactone. We checked the ability of the different strains to consume γ-decalactone
in a medium containing the lactone as sole carbon source. The consumption of the strain overexpressing acyl-CoA oxidase activity
was higher than that of the wild-type strain. We␣concluded that peroxisomal β-oxidation is certainly involved in γ-decalactone
catabolism by the yeast Y.␣lipolytica. The observed production rates probably depend on an equilibrium between production and consumption of the lactone.

Introduction: Exploring post-translational modifications (PTMs) with the use of mass spectrometry (PTMomics) is a rapidly developing area, with methods for discovery/quantification being developed and advanced on a regular basis. PTMs are highly important for the regulation of protein function, interaction and activity, both in physiological and disease states. Changes in PTMs can either cause, or be the result of a disease, making them central for biomarker studies and studies of disease pathogenesis. Recently, it became possible to study multiple PTMs simultaneously from low amount of sample material, thereby increasing coverage of the PTMome obtainable from a single sample. Thus, quantitative PTMomics holds great potential to discover biomarkers from tissue and body fluids as well as elucidating disease mechanisms through characterization of signaling pathways.Areas covered: Recent mass spectrometry-based methods for assessment of the PTMome, with focus on the most studied PTMs, are highlighted. Furthermore, both data dependent and data independent acquisition methods are evaluated. Finally, current challenges in the field are discussed.Expert commentary: PTMomics holds great potential for clinical and biomedical research, especially with the generation of spectral libraries of peptides and PTMs from individual patients (permanent PTM maps) for use in personalized medicine. 相似文献
