The envelope proteins of White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) are very fragile and easy to be destroyed during purification. It was difficult to obtain a large quantity of intact virions by routine sucrose gradient centrifugation. After modifying the sucrose gradient by adding citrate sodium, we can obtain a large quantity of intact virions and nucleocapsids. This purified virions and nucleocapsids were subsequently used for analyzing viral structural proteins and DNA extraction. The result showed that this modified techniaue is very efficient for virus purification. 相似文献

A modified procedure for synthesis of sucrose was carried out by using purified crystalline 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-d-fructofuranose in place of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-d-fructofuranose; namely, reaction of 1,2-anhydro-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranose with tetrabenzoyl-d-fructose at 110~118°C for 3 hr followed by deacylation, and by chromatographic separation of the deacylated product afforded crude sucrose. Acetylation of the synthetic product gave octaacetate sucrose in the yield of 5.0%. 相似文献

Modified branched-chain amino acid pathways give rise to acyl acids of sucrose esters exuded from tobacco leaf trichomes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A major diversion of carbon from branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis/catabolism to form acyl moieties of sucrose esters (6-O-acetyl-2,3,4-tri-O-acyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-D- fructofuranosides) was observed to be associated with specialized trichome head cells which secrete large amounts of sucrose esters. Surface chemistry and acetyl and acyl substituent groups of tobacco (T.I. 1068) sucrose esters were identified and quantified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Sucrose esters were prominent surface constituents and 3-methylvaleric acid, 2- and 3-methylbutyric acid, and methylpropionic acid accounted for 60%, 25% and 9%, respectively, of total C3--C7 acyl substituents. Radiolabeled Thr, Ile, Val, Leu, pyruvate and Asp, metabolites of branched-chain amino acid pathways, were compared with radioactively labeled acetate and sucrose as donors of carbon to sucrose, acetyl and acyl components of sucrose esters using epidermal peels with undisturbed trichomes. Preparations of biosynthetically competent trichome heads (site of sucrose ester formation) were also examined. Results indicate that 3-methylvaleryl and 2-methylbutyryl groups are derived from the Thr pathway of branched-chain amino acid metabolism, 3-methylbutyryl and methylpropionyl groups are formed via the pyruvate pathway, and that acetyl groups are principally formed directly via acetyl-CoA. Arguments are presented which rule out participation of fatty acid synthase in the formation of prominent acyl acids. Results suggest that the shunting of carbon away from the biosynthesis of Val, Leu and Ile may be due to a low level of amino acid utilization in protein synthesis in specialized glandular head cells of trichomes. This would result in the availability of corresponding oxo acids for CoA activation and esterification to form sucrose esters. Preliminary evidence was found for the involvement of cycling reactions in oxo-acid-chain lengthening and for utilization of pyruvate-derived 2-oxobutyrate to form straight-chain acyl substituents. 相似文献

Metabolic acids produced by oral pathogens demineralize tooth surfaces, leading to dental caries. Glucosyltransferases are the key factor in this process. We synthesized various modified oligosaccharides and tested them for their inhibitory effects on glucosyltransferase activity. Oligosaccharides were produced using a mixed-culture fermentation of Lipomyces starkeyi and Leuconostoc mesenteroides and then further modified as iron- and sulfate-oligosaccharides. Iron- and sulfate-oligosaccharides reduced glucosyltransferase activity of Streptococci from 17% to 43% and prevented the formation of insoluble biomass on the surface of glass vials or stainless steel wires in the presence of sucrose. They also reduced the growth and acid productions of oral pathogens including S. mutans, S. sobrinus, Eikenella corrodens, Prevotella intermedia, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcmitans. 相似文献

Modified messenger ribonucleic acid release from isolated hepatic nuclei after inhibition of polyadenylate formation 总被引:11,自引:5,他引:6
Treatment of rats with Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine), an inhibitor of nuclear poly(A) synthesis, selectively decreased the energy and cytosol-dependent release of a portion of the mRNA species from the isolated hepatic nuclei in a cell-free system by approximately 40%. An analysis of the differential binding of the transported mRNA containing poly(A) tracts to nitrocellulose filters, and to cellulose or poly(U)-Sepharose columns suggested that the poly(A) tracts in the mRNA transported from the isolated hepatic nuclei of Cordycepin-treated rats, are decreased in size. This size decrease was confirmed through an analysis of the average size of the poly(A) tracts, released from the messengers by ribonuclease activity, on sucrose density gradients. 相似文献

Among soil-transmitted parasitic diseases, alveolar hydatidosis due to the ingestion of Echinococcus multilocularis eggs is becoming a serious problem in Hokkaido, the northern most island of Japan. Dissemination of the infection far from the endemic areas can occur if motor vehicles transmit soil contaminated with eggs. No appropriate and validated method for recovering the taeniid eggs from soil is available. A modified sugar centrifugal flotation technique, using a sucrose solution of specific gravity 1.27 and 0.05% Tween-80, was evaluated as a method to successfully recover eggs from soil. Contamination levels as low as 10 eggs per gram could be detected. This method may be useful to determine the prevalence of E. multilocularis, its transmission, and the potential for by monitoring soil contamination with eggs. 相似文献

The cultivation of Silene vulgaris (M.) G. callus culture on the nutrient mediums contained carbohydrates, phytohormones, nitrogen, and phosphate has led to
the modification of the arabinogalactan structure from the cell walls. It was noticed that a sucrose concentration increase
in the cultivation medium led to an increase of the arabinogalactan fragment yield with a molecular weight more than 300 kDa
and a decrease of the yield of fragments with molecular weight less than 300 kDa. The sucrose concentration increase in the
nutrient medium entailed the increase of arabinose and galactose content in the fragment with the molecular weight more than
300 kDa and a decrease in the fragment with a molecular weight of 100–300 kDa. On the nutrient medium containing a mix of
sucrose and arabinose, the yield of the fraction with a molecular weight more than 300 kDa and the amount of arabinose residues
increased, and the yield of minor fragments and the content of arabinose and galactose residues, included in these, decreased.
On the medium containing an increased concentration of 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid, the yield of high-molecular fragment
and the content of arabinose residues are two times increased. The decreasing of the amount of arabinose and galactose residues
in the fragment with a molecular weight more than 300 kDa was observed at a lack of nitrogen or phosphate in the nutrient
medium. 相似文献

Studies of sucrose utilization by Fusobacterium mortiferum ATCC 25557 have provided the first definitive evidence for phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar:phosphotransferase activity in the family Bacteroidaceae. The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sucrose:phosphotransferase system and the two enzymes required for the dissimilation of sucrose 6-phosphate are induced specifically by growth of F. mortiferum on the disaccharide. Monomeric sucrose 6-phosphate hydrolase (M(r), 52,000) and a dimeric ATP-dependent fructokinase (subunit M(r), 32,000) have been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The physicochemical and catalytic properties of these enzymes have been examined, and the N-terminal amino acid sequences for both proteins are reported. The characteristics of sucrose 6-phosphate hydrolase and fructokinase from F. mortiferum are compared with the same enzymes from both gram-positive and gram-negative species. Butyric, acetic, and D-lactic acids are the end products of sucrose fermentation by F. mortiferum. A pathway is proposed for the translocation, phosphorylation, and metabolism of sucrose by this anaerobic pathogen. 相似文献

A role for 'futile cycles' involving invertase and sucrose synthase in sucrose metabolism of tomato fruit. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Current concepts of the factors determining sink strength and the subsequent regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in tomato fruit are based upon an understanding of the relative roles of sucrose synthase, sucrose phosphate synthase and invertase, derived from studies in mutants and transformed plants. These enzymes participate in at least four futile cycles that involve sugar transport between the cytosol, vacuole and apoplast. Key reactions are (1) the continuous rapid degradation of sucrose in the cytosol by sucrose synthase (SuSy), (2) sucrose re-synthesis via either SuSy or sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), (3) sucrose hydrolysis in the vacuole or apoplast by acid invertase, (4) subsequent transport of hexoses to the cytosol where they are once more converted into sucrose, and (5) rapid synthesis and breakdown of starch in the amyloplast. In this way futile cycles of sucrose/hexose interchange govern fruit sugar content and composition. The major function of the high and constant invertase activity in red tomato fruit is, therefore, to maintain high cellular hexose concentrations, the hydrolysis of sucrose in the vacuole and in the intercellular space allowing more efficient storage of sugar in these compartments. Vacuolar sugar storage may be important in sustaining fruit cell growth at times when less sucrose is available for the sink organs because of exhaustion of the carbohydrate pools in source leaves. 相似文献

A one-step, enzymatic assay for sucrose using sucrose phosphorylase is described. Sucrose phosphorylase, which is now commercially available, was isolated from Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain B-1200 and partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation. Samples containing 5 to 80 nmol of sucrose are mixed with potassium phosphate, NAD, sucrose phosphorylase, and two commercial enzymes, phosphoglucomutase and NAD-accepting glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. After 30 min incubation at room temperature, absorbance at 340 nm is proportional to initial sucrose content. A 20-fold molar excess of glucose or a twofold excess of fructose have no effect on the assay, while a fourfold excess of fructose interferes with the assay by decreasing absorbance ca. 20%. This assay was designed to provide a rapid method for determining sucrose in studies of sugar transport by plants. To test the assay, corn pedicel extracts were assayed enzymatically and by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Estimates of sucrose content made by the two methods were equivalent, and exogenous addition of sucrose to these samples resulted in the expected increase in apparent sucrose content. 相似文献

Amylosucrase is a glucosyltransferase that synthesises an insoluble alpha-glucan from sucrose. The catalytic properties of the highly purified amylosucrase from Neisseria polysaccharea were characterised. Contrary to previously published results, it was demonstrated that in the presence of sucrose alone, several reactions are catalysed, in addition to polymer synthesis: sucrose hydrolysis, maltose and maltotriose synthesis by successive transfers of the glucosyl moiety of sucrose onto the released glucose, and finally turanose and trehalulose synthesis - these two sucrose isomers being obtained by glucosyl transfer onto fructose. The effect of initial sucrose concentration on initial activity demonstrated a non-Michaelian profile never previously described. 相似文献

The effects of dietary inositol with sucrose stimulation on chewing and swallowing motor patterns in the larvae of Bombyx mori L. are investigated. Feeding activities of the larvae are significantly enhanced by a test diet containing an inositol–sucrose mixture compared with a test diet of sucrose only. Motor patterns of the mandibular closer muscle are accelerated with shorter burst durations and shorter inter‐burst intervals with the test diet of inositol–sucrose compared with sucrose. In terms of swallowing behaviours, inositol–sucrose shortens the duration of drinking. Motor patterns of the cibarial compressor muscle are accelerated with shorter burst durations and shorter inter‐burst intervals with the inositol–sucrose mixture. Peripheral interactions between inositol‐ and sucrose‐sensitive cells in the maxilla are not detected. Thus, such interactions cannot explain the positive effects of inositol on chewing and swallowing. Responses of inositol‐sensitive cells in the epipharyngeal sensillum are not affected by sucrose. These results suggest that dietary inositol can modify chewing and swallowing motor patterns when coupled with sucrose stimuli. These modifications may occur in the central neural networks involved in chewing and swallowing motor patterns but not in peripheral sensory interactions. 相似文献

A model originally developed for transport of neutral substrates in bacterial systems was tested for its suitability for depicting sucrose transport across the plasmalemma of the maize scutellum cell. The model contains a sucrose—proton symporter, a negatively-charged free carrier and a neutral sucrose—proton—carrier complex. Sucrose transport is driven by the sucrose gradient and by a proton electrochemical gradient set up by a proton-translocating ATPase. The results of experiments on sucrose uptake in scutellum slices are in accord with predictions based on the model. Evidence was obtained for an electrogenic proton pump in the plasmalemma, for sucrose—proton symport and for a sucrose transport mechanism driven by both electrical potential and pH gradients. It was found that treatments (dinitrophenol, N-ethylmaleimide or HCl) causing a net proton influx into the slices also caused an efflux of sucrose. Interpretations of these results compatible with the model are given. 相似文献

Substrate recognition by a sucrose transporting protein 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Protoplasts derived from developing soybean cotyledons were used to study substrate recognition by a sucrose transporting protein in plant membranes. When used as alternate substrate inhibitors of [14C] sucrose influx, five different fructosyl-substituted sucrose derivatives, phenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, and phenyl-alpha-D-thioglucopyranoside proved to bind effectively to the sucrose carrier-active site. These results are interpreted to indicate that a large portion of substrate recognition by this carrier may arise from the interaction of a relatively hydrophobic portion of the sucrose molecule and a hydrophobic region of the carrier protein binding site. Binding of phenyl-alpha-D-thioglucopyranosides in which various substitutions were made for the glucosyl hydroxyls shows that the glucosyl hydroxyls at positions 3, 4, and 6 are involved in substrate recognition by the carrier protein. 相似文献

Sucrose is a molecule that is synthesized only by oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. In plants, sucrose is synthesized in source tissues and then can be transported to sink tissues, where it is utilized or stored. Interestingly, sucrose is both a metabolite and a signaling molecule. Manipulating the rate of the synthesis, transport or degradation of sucrose affects plant growth, development and physiology. Altered sucrose levels changes the quantity of sucrose derived metabolites and sucrose-specific signaling. In this paper, these changes are summarized. Better understanding of sucrose metabolism and sucrose sensing systems in plants will lead to opportunities to adapt plant metabolism and growth. 相似文献

During the storage phase, cotyledons of developing pea seeds are nourished by nutrients released to the seed apoplasm by their maternal seed coats. Sucrose is transported into pea cotyledons by sucrose/H+ symport mediated by PsSUT1 and possibly other sucrose symporters. PsSUT1 is principally localised to plasma membranes of cotyledon epidermal and subepidermal transfer cells abutting the seed coat. We tested the hypothesis that endogenous sucrose/H+ symporter(s) regulate sucrose import into developing pea cotyledons. This was done by supplementing their transport activity with a potato sucrose symporter (StSUT1), selectively expressed in cotyledon storage parenchyma cells under control of a vicilin promoter. In segregating transgenic lines, enhanced [(14)C]sucrose influx into cotyledons above wild-type levels was found to be dependent on StSUT1 expression. The transgene significantly increased (approximately 2-fold) transport activity of cotyledon storage parenchyma tissues where it was selectively expressed. In contrast, sucrose influx into whole cotyledons through the endogenous epidermal transfer cell pathway was increased by only 23% in cotyledons expressing the transgene. A similar response was found for rates of biomass gain by intact cotyledons and by excised cotyledons cultured on a sucrose medium. These observations demonstrate that transport activities of sucrose symporters influence cotyledon growth rates. The attenuated effect of StSUT1 overexpression on sucrose and dry matter fluxes by whole cotyledons is consistent with a large proportion of sucrose being taken up at the cotyledonary surface. This indicates that the cellular location of sucrose transporter activity plays a key role in determining rates of sucrose import into cotyledons. 相似文献
