The structure of a new nonasaccharide isolated from human milk has been investigated. By using methylation analysis, FAB-MS and1H-and13C-NMR spectroscopy as basic methods of structural investigation, this oligosaccharide was identified as VI2--Fuc,V4-Fuc,III3--Fuc-p-lacto-n-hexaose: Fuc1-2Gal1-3[Fuc1-4]GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4[Fuc1-3]GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4Glc.Abbreviations COSY

We analyzed the effects of nifedipine on a family of recombinant low-threshold Ca2+ channels functionally expressed in Xenopus oocytes and formed by three different subunits (1G, 1H, and 1I). The 1G and 1I channels demonstrated a low sensitivity to nifedipine even in high concentrations (IC50 = 98 and 243 M, maximum blocking intensity Amax = 25 and 47%, respectively). At the same time, the above agent effectively blocked channels formed by the 1H-subunit (IC50 = 5 M and Amax = 41%). The nifedipine-caused effects were voltage-dependent, and their changes depended on the initial state of the channel. In the case of 1G-subunits, the blockade was determined mostly by binding of nifedipine with closed channels, whereas in the cases of 1H- and 1I-subunits this resulted from binding of nifedipine with channels in the activated and inactivated states. The obtained data allow us to obtain estimates of the pharmacological properties of the above three subtypes of recombinant channels and, in the future, to compare these characteristics with the properties of low-threshold Ca2+ channels in native cells. 相似文献

Four glycosidases were analyzed in 10 mm apical segments prepared from growing roots (15 mm) of Zea mays L. The pH optima were found to be 5.8 for -glucosidase, 4.4 for -galactosidase, 6.4 for -glucosidase and 6.0 for -galactosidase. The -glucosidase showed 4-fold higher activity than the -galactosidase. The distribution of the -glucosidase activity was signifcantly different from that of the -galactosidase, -glucosidase and -galactosidase.Abbreviations -Glu

The tetrasaccharides GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4Glc and GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4GlcNAc were synthesised by enzymic transfer of GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to 3-sialyllactose (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4Glc) and 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4GlcNAc). The structures of the products were established by methylation and1H-500 MHz NMR spectroscopy. In Sda serological tests the product formed with 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine was highly active whereas that formed with 3-sialyllactose had only weak activity. 相似文献

The seeds of 19 sunflower species were compared on the basis of their protein contents and the relative proportions of their protein fractions. The globulin content varied from 50% to about 70% and the albumin content from 18% to 35% according to the species. The level of intermediateMr polypeptides showed a great variability (9.6 to 24.3%). Comparative studies onMr polymorphism were carried out by means of sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of non reduced and/or reduced samples using both mono- and bidimensional procedures. Polypeptide constituents of helianthinin were compared including both number and molecular size (cultivatedH. annuus was used as a standard). Studies focused on differences observed between the major two (Mr 38 000), (Mr 32 000) and (Mr 25 500), (21 000) polypeptides families constituting the main A, B, and C subunits. and polypeptides analyses permit to discriminate easilyH. petiolaris from the other species. Charge polymorphism was studied using isoelectric focusing (IEF) and IEF-PAGE in mono and bidimensional procedures in the presence or absence of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME). Only a specific 4 polypeptide enables an easy discrimination betweenH. petiolaris and all the other species. Detailed nomenclature of the , and , polypeptides constituting the different helianthinin globulin subunits is given via the results of pI andMr analyses. Monodimensional IEF patterns of the more basic albumins (pI > 8.0) appear to provide a more valuable approach to identifying specific protein markers. 相似文献

A novel syrup containing neofructo-oligosaccharides was produced from sucrose (Brix 70) by whole cells of Penicillium citrinum. The efficiency of fructo-oligosaccharides production was more than 55% and those of the main carbohydrate components, 1-kestose (Fruf 21Fruf 21 Glc), nystose (Fruf 21Fruf 21 Fruf 21 Glc) and neokestose (Fruf 26 Glc12 Fruf), were 22, 14 and 11%, respectively. 相似文献

Zeins from Zea mays L cv. Maya and coixins from Coix lacryma-jobi L. cv. Adlay were fractionated to obtain -, -, and -zein and -, -, and -coixin. The -coixins were composed of 4 polypeptide classes of 27 kDa (C1), 25 kDa (C2), 17 kDa (C4) and 15 kDa (C5) with solubility properties very similar to those of the 22 kDa and 19 kDa -zeins. Like the -zeins, the C1 and C2 -coixins corresponded to 80% of total Coix prolamins. The fraction corresponding to -coixin contained only one protein band of 22 kDa (C3). This coixin fraction has solubility properties similar to those of -zein and represents 15% of the total coixin. The -zein fraction was composed of a major 17 kDa protein band, while the -coixin fraction consisted of a mixture of - and -coixins.Polyclonal antibodies raised against C1 recognized C1 and C2 and cross-reacted strongly with the 22 kDa -zein, as did C4 and C5 antisera. The antiserum against -coixin showed strong cross-reaction with -zein. The homology between coixins and zeins was further investigated by using Southern hybridization analyses. The genomic DNA of maize and Coix were digested with several restriction enzymes and probed with cDNA clones representing 19 and 22 kDa -zeins as well as the 28 and 16 kDa -zeins. The Coix genome showed complex cross-hybridization sequences with the 22 kDa -zein cDNA, while no cross-hybridization was observed with the 19 kDa cDNA clone. The cDNA clone representing the 28 kDa -zein cross-hybridized with only one band of Coix genomic DNA, in contrast to the three bands observed in maize. This same Coix sequence also cross-hybridized with the cDNA clone representing the 16 kDa -zein. The relevance of these findings are discussed in the context of the origin of zein and coixin genes. 相似文献

The purified isopropylmalate synthase of Alcaligenes eutrophus H 16 reacted with the following -keto acids and acyl-coenzyme A derivatives (in the sequence of decreasing affinities): -ketoisovalerate, -keto-n-valerate, -ketobutyrate and pyruvate; acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, butyryl-CoA. malonyl-CoA, valeryl-CoA, and crotonyl-CoA. -Ketoisocaproate, however, is a strong inhibitor of the enzyme. All reactions catalyzed by isopropylmalate synthase were inhibited to the same extent by the endproduct l-leucine. the substrate saturation curves of -ketoisovalerate or other -keto acids and of acetyl-coenzyme A or other acyl-CoA derivatives had intermediary plateau regions; the Hill coefficient alternated between n

-values higher and lower than 1.0, indicating changes from positive to negative and from negative to positive cooperativity for the substrates. The products, isopropylmalate and free coenzyme A, showed competitive inhibition patterns against both substrates (-ketoisovalerate and acetyl-CoA). Free coenzyme A (1 M) inactivated the enzyme irreversibly. The 3-phosphate of coenzyme A and the free carboxyl group of -ketoisovalerate were involved in optimal binding of these substrates, but 3-dephospho-acetyl-coenzyme A and the methylester of -ketoisovalerate were also converted by this enzyme. A CH3–CH2-grouping of the -keto acids seemed to be necessary for binding this substrate.Abbreviations Used CoA

We have investigated the methylation status of the -tubulin genes, and the degree of accumulation of their mRNAs in endosperm, embryo and seedling tissues of Zea mays L. We have found that many of the -tubulin genes are differentially demethylated in the endosperm relative to the embryo and seedling. However, only for tub2 and tub4 could a correlation between DNA demethylation and increased RNA accumulation be detected. By analyzing the inbred lines W64A and A69Y and their reciprocal crosses, we have also identified in the endosperm two -tubulin genes, tub3 and tub4, that are differentially demethylated if transmitted by the maternal germline, but that remain hypermethylated when transmitted by the paternal germline. 相似文献

Summary -Thalassemia exists at a high prevalence in several regions of Saudi Arabia. The restriction endonucleases Bam HI and BglII were used to investigate the molecular basis of deletion type of -thalassemia in 226 subjects from the eastern and 61 subjects from the northwestern regions of the country. The arrangements-/ and-/- were common. BglII digestion revealed the existence of rightward deletion in a majority of the cases. Leftward deletions, both homozygous and heterozygous, were also identified. Triple -gene arrangements -/ and -/- were observed at a low frequency in both regions. 相似文献

Synthesis of threonine dehydratase in Streptomyces fradiae was positively influenced by valine and negatively by isoleucine. However, these two amino acids had no effect on the activity of this enzyme. Synthesis of threonine dehydratase in -aminobutyrate resistant mutants of S. fradiae was pronouncedly less sensitive to the positive effect of valine and this change in regulation led to valine overproduction. Synthesis of acetohydroxy acid synthase is regulated in a similar manner to that of threonine dehydratase, however a lower level of expression was detected in -aminobutyrate resistant mutants. And again, no effect of branched-chain amino acids on acetohydroxy acid synthase activity was observed. It follows that in S. fradiae synthesis of threonine dehydratase is the main regulatory mechanism governing production and the mutual ratio of synthesized valine and isoleucine.Abbreviations -AB

Summary The potential of-lactams as intermediates for the access to- and-amino acid-derived peptides is shortly reviewed, with major focus on the technologies developed in our group. The two general strategies lie, on one side, in the oxidative ring expansion of 3-hydroxy-lactams toN-carboxy-amino acid anhydrides or Leuch's anhydrides and subsequent coupling with-amino acid esters and, on the other side, in the nucleophilic ring opening ofN-Boc--lactams. Both approaches have been successfully applied to the synthesis of,-diamino acid,-amino--hydroxy acid, polyhydroxylated-amino acid,,-disubstituted-amino acid,-amino acid,-amino--hydroxy acid and,-disubstituted-amino acid derived peptides. Because of the mild reaction conditions needed for the above transformations and the highly stereoselective procedures employed for the construction of the starting-lactam ring, the whole process allows the production of optically pure final products. 相似文献

Summary Hemoglobin J Mexico, an chain mutant, was studied in eight unrelated Algerian families. The quantities of the abnormal hemoglobin in 116 subjects are trimodally distributed: 55% in homozygotes, 31% and 38% in heterozygotes. Both hematological data and the / chain biosynthetic ratio are normal in heterozygotes with 31% Hb J and in homozygotes. In contrast, the MCV and MCH as well as the / biosynthetic ratio are slightly reduced in heterozygotes with 38% Hb J and in their relatives carrying Hb A. The elevated expression of J chains in heterozygotes with 38% Hb J may be due to an thalassemia gene trans to the >J locus. 相似文献

The 207 LeuPro mutation in spectrin has recently been identified as a cause of I/50-46a hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) or pyropoikilocytosis among Black people. We have found this mutation in a Moroccan family in both the heterozygous and homozygous states. The mutated -spectrin allele carried, in cis, the V/41 polymorphism, a common polymorphism altering the peptide maps and associated with a low-expression level. This is the first report of the cis combination of an HE mutation and the V/41 polymorphism. Presumably, such a combination accounts for the very low expression of the abnormal allele in the heterozygous state. 相似文献

Estrogen is involved in regulating the development and hormone secretion of the anterior pituitary gland following its binding to estrogen receptors (ERs) expressed on pituitary cells. However, the pituitary is comprised of several cell types, and to date, there is no data about the specific cell types expressing ERs in embyonic chick pituitary. We therefore followed, by immunohistochemistry, the ontogeny of the pituitary ER alpha (ER), and the cell types expressing ER throughout chick embryo development. ER immunoreacitivity was restricted to the nuclei of pituitary cells. ER-immunopositive (ER+) cells were first detected at embryonic day 6.5 (E6.5), after which ER+ cells were consistently detected throughout the anterior pituitary gland, although the density of ER+ cells in the caudal lobe of the pars distalis was higher than that in the cephalic lobe. The proportion of ER+ cells in the pituitary was about 6% at E8.5; expression increased to 22% by E18.5 of gestation, with no additional change until hatching. Double-labeling of ER and pituitary hormones showed that the dominant cell types expressing ER were gonadotrophs immunopositive for luteinizing hormone (LH); the proportion of ER+ cells expressing LH increased throughout gestation and reached approximately 57% at hatching. About 2%–6% of thyroid-stimulating-hormone-immunopositive and 1%–2% prolactin-immunopositive cells expressed ER at later stages of embryonic development, but no growth-hormone-positive or adrenocorticotropic-hormone-positive cells expressed ER during the embryonic period. Thus, gonadotrophs are the main cell population expressing ER in the anterior pituitary gland of chick embryo, and ER is involved in regulating the development of the pituitary gland and the maturation of the hormone-secreting function.This work was supported by grants from the Natural Science Foundation for Outstanding Young Scientists of China (30325034) and the Natural Science Foundation of China (30170693, 30471264). 相似文献

The specificity ofMoluccella laevis lectin was investigated by analysing its binding to glycosphingolipids separated on thin-layer chromatograms or adsorbed on microtitre wells. The binding activity of the lectin was highest for glycosphingolipids with terminal -linkedN-acetylgalactosamine, both in linear structures, as the Forssman glycosphingolipid, GalNAc3GalNAc3Gal4Gal4Glc1Cer, and in branched structures, as glycosphingolipids with the blood group A determinant, GalNAc3(Fuc2)Gal. In addition, the lectin bound, though considerably more weakly, to linear glycosphingolipids with terminal -linked galactose. When considering the use of theM. laevis lectin for biochemical and medical purposes this cross-reactivity may be of importance.
Nomenclature: The glycosphingolipid nomenclature follows the recommendations by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (CBN for Lipids:Eur J Biochem (1977)79:11–21,J Biol Chem (1982)257:3347–51, andJ Biol Chem (1987)262:13–18). It is assumed that Gal, Glc, GlcNAc, GalNAc, and NeuAc are of thed-configuration, Fuc of thel-configuration, and all sugars present in the pyranose form. 相似文献

Primary structure analysis of the four river buffalo -globin chains showed that haplotypes A and B differ from each other by a substitution at codon 64 that may encode Ala or Asn. The A haplotype encodes two -globin chains, I1 and II3, which differ at positions 129 and 131: I1 has 64 Ala, 129 Phe, 131 Asn; II3 has 64 Ala, 129 Leu, 131 Ser. The B haplotype encodes two -globin chains, I2 and II4, which differ at positions 10 and 11: I2 has 10 Ile, 11 Gln, 64 Asn; II4 has 10 Val, 11 Lys, 64 Asn. Apart from the Ala/Asn polymorphism at position 64, amino acid substitutions in allelic and nonallelic -globin chains seem to have arisen by single point mutations. Detection of electrophoretically silent mutations due to neutral amino acid substitutions and their influence on the isoelectric point are discussed. Furthermore, primary structures of river buffalo -globin chains are compared to other species of the Bovidae family to suggest evolutionary events that have characterized the amino acid substitutions of river buffalo hemoglobin. 相似文献

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from an over-producer strain of Coleus blumei Benth. cell cultures accumulating high levels of rosmarinic acid (RA) has been shown to possess no special feed-back sensitivity to RA or its precursors. No tyrosine-3-hydroxylase activity could be detected in culture extracts and no specific inhibitors of tyrosine incorporation into RA were found. L--aminooxy--phenyl propionic acid, however, was effective in specifically blocking phenylalanine incorporation. This block also led to an accumulation of label from tyrosine in 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid rather than in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) or 3,4-dihydroxyphenyllactic acid. These observations require a re-evaluation of the possible role of DOPA as a major biogenic precursor to RA.Abbreviations AOPP

Summary Analysis of -thalassemia syndromes in several German families revealed DNA deletion as well as nondeletion forms as the molecular basis for the defects. Thus, the -thalassemia haplotype was identified as the (–)3.7 rightward deletion form, and the region of the putative recombination process generating such a deletion was further characterized. In addition three different ° haplotypes, (--)MED, (--)>26, and ()T, could be detected using -and -globin gene-specific probes. 相似文献
