Summary Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by different mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The frequency of the major mutation (F508) in the Hungarian population is 64%. To identify other common mutations in CF families from Hungary, 30 nonF508 CF chromosomes were analyzed for selected mutations in exon 11 (G551D, R553X, G542X), intron 4 (621+1GT), intron 10 (1717–1GA), exon 20 (W1282X), and in exon 21 (N1303K) of the CFTR gene. In 6 of the 30 non-F508 CF chromosomes the following mutations were detected: R553X, G542X, 1717–1GA, W1282X, and N1303K. After analysis of the above eight mutations, 30% of CF chromosomes are as yet undefined and further analysis is planned. 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

Summary We describe a male with the karyotype 46,XX/47, XX,+Y(q12qter), which may be interpreted as due to an insertion (Y;X)(Yq11Yq12;Xp22) or to mosaicism, 46,XX/47, XX,+Y(12qter). In any case, some of the H-Y determining genes may be located on the long arm of the Y chromosome. 相似文献

Point mutations in the upstream region of the α-galactosidase A gene exon 6 in an atypical variant of Fabry disease 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Summary Single point mutations in the upstream region of exon 6 of the -galactosidase A gene were found in two Japanese cases of the cardiac form of Fabry disease; 301ArgGln (902GA) in a case that has already been published and 279GlnGlu (835CG) in a new case. They both expressed markedly low, but significant, amounts of residual activity in COS-1 cells. In contrast, two unrelated cases with classic Fabry disease were found to have different point mutations, which showed a complete loss of enzyme activity in a transient expression assay; 328GlyArg (982GA) in the downstream region of exon 6 in one case and two combined mutations, 66GluGln (196GC)/112ArgCys (334CT), in exon 2 in the other. We conclude, on the basis of the results recorded in this study and those in previous reports, that the pathogenesis of atypical Fabry disease is closely associated with point mutations in the upstream region of exon 6 of the -galactosidase A gene. 相似文献

The regulation of the expression of enzyme activities catalyzing initial reactions in the anoxic metabolism of various aromatic compounds was studied at the whole cell level in the denitrifying Pseudomonas strain K 172. The specific enzyme activities were determined after growth on six different aromatic substrates (phenol, 4-hydroxybenzoate, benzoate, p-cresol, phenylacetate, 4-hydroxyphenylacetate) all being proposed to be metabolized anaerobically via benzoyl-CoA. As a control cells were grown on acetate, or aerobically on benzoate. The expression of the following enzyme activities was determined.Phenol carboxylase, as studied by the isotope exchange between 14CO2 and the carboxyl group of 4-hydroxybenzoate; 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA reductase (dehydroxylating); p-cresol methylhydroxylase; 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol dehydrogenase; 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde dehydrogenase; coenzymeA ligases for the aromatic acids benzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, phenylacetate, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetate; phenylglyoxylate: acceptor oxidoreductase and 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate: acceptor oxidoreductase; aromatic alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases.The formation of most active enzymes is strictly regulated; they were only induced when required, the basic activities being almost zero. The observed whole cell regulation pattern supports the postulate that the enzyme activities play a role in anoxic aromatic metabolism and that the compounds are degraded via the following intermediates: Phenol 4-hydroxybenzoate 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA benzoyl-CoA; 4-hydroxybenzoate 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA benzoyl-CoA; benzoate benzoyl-CoA; p-cresol 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde 4-hydroxybenzoate 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA benzoyl-CoA; phenylacetate phenylacetyl-CoA phenylglyoxylate benzoyl-CoA plus CO2; 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 4-hydroxyphenylacetyl-CoA 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA plus CO2 benzoyl-CoA. 相似文献

Summary These experiments studied the metabolic formation of a,-dodecanedioic acid using the mutant S 76 developed from the wild strain Candida tropicalis 1230 (capable of producing large amounts of a,-dodecanedioic acid).Our results show for the first time that 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid was excreted into the medium as a free acid.n-Dodecanol and n-dodecanoic acid were also detected in the n-dodecane medium. The mutant S 76 was able to produce a,-dodecanedioic acid using either n-dodecanol or dodecanoic acid as the sole carbon source. Quantitative cahnges in the concentrations of 12-hydroxy-dodecanoic acid and other intermediates were recorded during the formation of a,-dodecanedioic acid. S 76 was rapidly able to convert large amounts of 12-hydroxy-dodecanoic acid to a,-dodecanedioic acid.The formation of a,-dodecanedioic acid from n-dodecane via the sequence n-dodecanoln-dodecanoic acid 12-hydroxy-dodecanoic acid was confirmed. 相似文献

Summary DNA sequencing was used to determine the specific types of DNA base changes induced following in vivo exposure of Escherichia coli to the ethylating agent N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG) and the hydroxyethylating agent 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-nitrosourea (HENU) using the xanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (gpt) gene as the genetic target. We observed that 22/30 of the ENNG-induced mutations were GCAT transitions, 4/30 were ATGC transitions, 3/30 were ATTA transversions, and 1/30 was an ATCG transversion. We observed that 37/40 HENU-induced mutations were GCAT transitions and that the remaining 3/40 were ATGC transitions. A majority of the GCAT transitions induced by ENNG and HENU (68% and 73%, respectively) occurred at the second guanine of the sequence 5-GG(A or T)-3; this sequence specificity was similar to that previously seen with the alkylating agents N-methyl- and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU and ENU) and N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). A DNA strand preference for the GA changes (antisense strand), previously noted for MNU, ENU, and MNNG, was observed following exposure to HENU and ENNG. The ATGC transitions induced by ENNG, HENU, and ENU also exhibit a sequence specificity with 13/13 mutations occurring at the T of the sequence 5-NTC-3. A strand preference was not apparent for these mutations. 相似文献

Four new Proteus O-specific polysaccharides were isolated by mild acid degradation from the lipopolysaccharides of P. penneri 28 (1), P. vulgaris O44 (2), P. mirabilis G1 (O3) (3), and P. myxofaciens (4), and their structures were elucidated using NMR spectroscopy and chemical methods. They were found to contain non-carbohydrate organic acids, including ether-linked lactic acid and amide-linked amino acids, and the following structures of the repeating units were established: 3)--L-QuipNAc-(13)--D-GlcpNAc-(16)--D-GlcpNAc-(1 (S)-Lac-(2–3) (1) 4)--D-GlcpA-(13)--D-GalpNAc-(14)--D-Glcp-(13)--D-Galp-(14)--D-GalpNAc-(1 L-Ala-(2–6) (2) 3)--D-GalpNAc-(16)--D-GalpNAc-(14)--D-GlcpA-(1 L-Lys-(2–6)--D-GalpA-(14) (3) 4)--D-GlcpA-(16)--D-GalpNAc-(16)--D-GlcpNAc-(13)--D-GlcpNAc-(1 (R)-aLys-(2–6) (4) where (S)-Lac and (R)-aLys stand for (S)-1-carboxyethyl (residue of lactic acid) and N-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-L-lysine (alaninolysine), respectively. The data obtained in this work and earlier serve as the chemical basis for classification of the bacteria Proteus. 相似文献

As part of a program to explore the structural requirement of N-glycans in the carbohydrate-mediated biological interactions, N-linked pentasaccharide core structure was stereochemically modified in terms of glycosidic linkage. Three isomers, -D-Man-(13)-[-D-Man-(16)]--D-Man-(14)--D-GlcNAc-(14)--D-GlcNAc-L-Asn, -D-Man-(13)-[-D-Man-(16)]--D-Man-(14)--D-GlcNAc-(14)--D-GlcNAc-L-Asn, and -D-Man-(13)-[-D-man-(16)]--D-Man-(14)--D-GlcNAc-(14)--D-GlcNAc-L-Asn, were synthesized. Synthesis of the pentasaccharide with natural linkage is also described. 相似文献

Production of an extracellular polysaccharide byAgrobacterium sp DS3 NRRL B-14297 isolated from soil
Dr. C T Hou J A Ahlgren W Brown J J Nicholson 《Journal of industrial microbiology & biotechnology》1996,16(2):129-133
A bacterium isolated from soil and identified asAgrobacterium sp produced a water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide capable of producing highly viscous solutions. Gas chromatographic analysis revealed a sugar composition of glucose, galactose and mannose in the molar ratio of 7.52.41, together with 3.7% (w/w) pyruvic acid. Methylation analyses showed the presence of (13)-, (14)- and (16)-linked glucose, (13)- and (14, 16)-linked galactose and a small portion of (13)-linked mannose residues. Succinic acid was not present. The molecular weight of the polysaccharide was estimated by light scattering to be 2×106 Da. The viscosity of solutions containing the polysaccharide remained constant from pH 3 to 11, and decreased by 50% when heated from 5 to 55°C. Maximum yield of the polysaccharide, 20 g L–1, was reached in 48 h at 30°C incubation. 相似文献

Expression sites of genes encoding (13,14)--glucan 4-glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.73) have been mapped in germinated barley grains (Hordeum vulgare L.) by hybridization histochemistry. A32P-labelled cDNA (copy DNA) probe was hybridized to cryosections of intact barley grains to localize complementary mRNAs. No mRNA encoding (13,14)--glucanase is detected in ungerminated grain. Expression of (13,14)--glucanase genes is first detected in the scutellum after 1 d and is confined to the epithelial layer. At this stage, no expression is apparent in the aleurone. After 2 d, levels of (13,14)--glucanase mRNA decrease in the scutellar epithelium but increase in the aleurone. In the aleurone layer, induction of (13,14)--glucanase gene expression, as measured by mRNA accumulation, progresses from the proximal to distal end of the grain as a front moving away from, and parallel to, the face of the scutellum.Abbreviations cDNA

α-Galactosidase gene mutations in Fabry disease: heterogeneous expressions of mutant enzyme proteins
Toshika Okumiya Satoshi Ishii Ryoichi Kase Sachiko Kamei Hitoshi Sakuraba Yoshiyuki Suzuki 《Human genetics》1995,95(5):557-561
Five point mutations were identified in unrelated Japanese Fabry disease hemizygotes: three new missense mutations, C142Y (425 G A), A156V (467 C T), and L166V (496 C G) in exon 3; one new splice site mutation at the 3 end of the consensus sequence in exon 4; one previously reported nonsense mutation, W44X (131 G A). C142Y expressed 50% of the normal enzyme protein in COS-1 cells, but catalytic activity was not detected. Both A156V and L166V expressed significant amounts of residual enzyme activity (6.7% and 9.8%) and enzyme proteins (10% each), the latter were more thermolabile at neutral pH than at acid pH, in vitro. 相似文献

present in unfertilized Salmonidae fish eggs, and glycoproteins bearing oligo/polymers of deaminated neuraminic acids (KDN) found in the vitelline envelope of the eggs and ovarian fluid. We report the preparation and characterization of a monoclonal antibody specifically recognizing oligo/polymers of KDN sequences in glycoproteins and its application in immunohistochemistry. Fusion of spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with a KDN-rich glycoprotein (KDN-gp) containing (8KDN2)

6(KDN23Gal13GlNAc13) GalNAc1 residues, with mouse myeloma cells yielded a hybrid cell line producing a monoclonal antibody that bound to KDN-gp, but not to KDN-gp depleted of KDN residues. The specificity of the monoclonal antibody, designated mAb.kdn8kdn, was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using KDN-gp samples that varied in KDN content. These antigens were prepared by the selective removal of KDN residues from the native KDN-gp. The mAb.kdn8kdn reacted most strongly with the intact KDN-gp and less strongly with KDN-gp samples containing decreased numbers of KDN residues. The mAb.kdn8kdn was shown specifically to recognize the 28-linked oligo/polyKDN sequences, (8KDN2)

The structures of the N-linked sugar chains in the PAS-6 glycoprotein (PAS-6) from the bovine milk fat globule membrane were determined. The sugar chains were liberated from PAS-6 by hydrazinolysis, and the pyridylaminated sugar chains were separated into a neutral (6N) and two acidic chains (6M and 6D), the acidic sugar chains then being converted to neutral sugar chains (6MN and 6DN). 6N was separated into two neutral fractions (6N13 and 6N5.5), while 6MN and 6DN each gave a single fraction (6MN13 and 6DN13). The structure of 6N5.5, which was the major sugar chain in PAS-6, is proposed to be Man16 (Man13) Man14GlcNAc14GlcNAc-PA; 6N13, 6MN13 and 6DN13 are proposed to be Gal13Gal14GlcNAc12Man16 (Gal13Gal14GlcNAc12Man13) Man14GlcNAc14 (Fuc16)GlcNAc-PA;6M and 6D had 1 or 2 additional NeuAc residues at the non-reducing ends of 6MN13 and 6DN13, respectively. © 1998 Rapid Science Ltd 相似文献

The frequency of two common disease-associated mutations in the arylsulphatase A (ASA) gene, and of a mutation causing ASA pseudodeficiency, have been established in metachromatic leukodystrophy patients diagnosed in our laboratory. A total of 37 mutant genes have been analysed. The GA change destroying the splice donor site of exon 2 is generally associated with more severe disease and was found in 43.2% of mutant ASA genes. The CT transition causing a proline to leucine substitution at position 426 in exon 8 (P426L) is associated with later onset disease, and was found in 16.2% of mutant genes. The AG transition leading to loss of a polyadenylation signal associated with ASA pseudodeficiency was present at a frequency of 7.5% in the patients and heterozygotes studied. 相似文献

The major cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation, F508, is associated with one haplotype (B) determined by the two polymorphic markers, XV2C and KM19. This haplotype is rare (15%) among non-F chromosomes. Its frequency among non-F508 CF chromosomes is 50% with variation between populations. One hypothesis for the high frequency of CF haplotype B chromosomes suggests that there was a selective advantage for CF mutations on this specific background as a result of epistatic selection at other closely linked loci. Since the XV2C and KM19 markers are located 200kb 5 to the CF gene and span only 60 kb, an extended haplotype analysis was needed to test this hypothesis. Haplotypes were determined for 183 CF and 120 non-CF Israeli chromosomes at the XV2C and KM19 loci and at three intragenic polymorphic sites (GATT in intron 6A, TUB18 in intron 19, and 24M in exon 24). Among the studied chromosomes the frequency of non-F508 CF chromosomes associated with haplotype B was 70% (88% among Ashkenazi CF chromosomes). Nine mutations (F508, W1282X, G542X, N1303K, 3849+10 kb CT, Q359K/T360K, S549I, S549R, and 1717-1GA) were identified among the studied chromosomes. These mutations accounted for 96% of CF chromosomes of Ashkenazi origin. Haplotype B was associated with seven of these (F508, W1282X, G542X, N1303K, Q359K/ T360K, S549R, and 1717-1GA). The extended haplotype analysis revealed that in five of the seven mutations associated with the haplotype B, 97% of the chromosomes shared the same intragenic haplotype, 212. The variation found in 3% of the chromosomes was only in the GATT repeat. Two mutations, W1282X and 1717-1GA, were associated with a completely different intragenic haplotype, 121. The results of this study indicate that grouping of CF chromosome by haplotype analysis spanning a small extragenic region might not be sufficient. In addition, the results of the extended haplotype analysis indicate that all the studied CF chromosomes that carry the same mutation derived from the same origin. Furthermore, the results indicate that the majority of the CF mutations are associated with the same extended haplotype, supporting the selective advantage hypothesis. 相似文献

A novel lectin (morniga M) from mulberry (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Morus nigra</Emphasis>) bark recognizes oligomannosyl residues in N-Glycans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Morniga M is a jacalin-related and mannose-specific lectin isolated from the bark of the mulberry (Morus nigra). In order to understand the function and application of this novel lectin, the binding property of Morniga M was studied in detail using an enzyme-linked lectinosorbent assay and lectin-glycan inhibition assay with extended glycan/ligand collection. From the results, it was found that the di-, tri-, and oligomannosyl structural units of N-glycans such as those of the bovine
1-acid glycoprotein (gp) and lactoferrin were the most active gps, but not the O-glycans or polysaccharides including mannan from yeast. The binding affinity of Morniga M for ligands can be ranked in decreasing order as follows: gps carrying multiple N-glycans with oligomannosyl residues >> N-glycopeptide with a single trimannosyl core > Tri-Man oligomer [Man1 6(Man 1 3) Man], Penta-Man oligomer [Man1 6(Man1 3)Man1 6(Man1 3) Man] Man 1 2, 3 or 6 Man > Man > GlcNAc, Glc >>

Our recent studies have revealed the existence of two distinct Gal: 3-O-sulfotransferases capable of acting on the C-3 position of galactose in a Core 2 branched structure, e.g., Gal14GlcNAc16(Gal13)GalNac1OBenzyl as acceptor to give 3-O-sulfoGal14GlcNAc13(Gal13)GalNAc1OB 20 and Gal14GlcNAc16(3-O-sulfoGal13)GalNAc1OB 23. We herein report the synthesis of these two compounds and also that of other modified analogs that are highly specific acceptors for the two sulfotransferases. Appropriately protected 1-thio-glycosides 7, 8, and 10 were employed as glycosyl donors for the synthesis of our target compounds. 相似文献

The subcellular localization and topology of rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) (14)galactosyltransferase(s) ([14]GalTs) from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) were investigated. Using two-step discontinuous sucrose step gradients, galactosyltransferase (GalT) activity that synthesized 70%-methanol-insoluble products from UDP-[14C]Gal was detected in both the 0.5 M sucrose fraction and the 0.25/1.1 M sucrose interface. The former fraction contained mainly soluble proteins and the latter was enriched in Golgi vesicles that contained most of the UDPase activity, a Golgi marker. By gel-filtration analysis, products of 180–2,000 Da were found in the soluble fraction, whereas in the Golgi-enriched fraction the products were larger than 80 kDa and could be digested with rhamnogalacturonan lyase and (1,4)endogalactanase to yield smaller rhamnogalacturonan oligomers, galactobiose and galactose. The endogalactanase requires (14)galactans with at least three galactosyl residues for cleavage, indicating that the enzyme(s) present in the 0.25/1.1 M Suc interface transferred one or more galactosyl residues to pre-existing (14)galactans producing RG-I side chains in total longer than a trimer. Thus, the (14)GalT activity that elongates (14)-linked galactan on RG-I was located in the Golgi apparatus. This (14)GalT activity was not reduced after treatment of the Golgi vesicles with proteinase, but approximately 75% of the activity was lost after treatment with proteinase in the presence of Triton X-100. In addition, the (14)GalT activity was recovered in the detergent phase after treatment of Golgi vesicles with Triton X-114. Taken together, these observations supported the view that the RG-I (14)GalT that elongates (14)galactan was mainly located in the Golgi apparatus and integrated into the membrane with its catalytic site facing the lumen.Abbreviations

Structures of acidic N-glycans released from porcine zona pellucida glycoproteins by hydrazinolysis were studied. The results indicated that the acidic glycans are of mono- to tetraantennary complex-type with and without N-acetyllactosamine repeating units. Sulfated residues are not only located at the C-6 position of GlcNAc included in the N-acetyllactosamine repeating units, but also at the C-6 position of GlcNAc in the non-repeated antennae and at the C-3 position of reducing terminal GlcNAc residue. Analysis of the oligosaccharide fragments released by endo--galactosidase digestion and by hydrazine/nitrous acid treatment also revealed that various sulfated and non-sulfated forms of fucosylated structures such as Fuc12Gal14(±SO–36)GlcNAc (type 2H), Gal14(Fuc13)(±SO–36)GlcNAc(Lex) and Fuc13 or 4(±SO–36)GlcNAc, are expressed in the repeated outer chain moieties. 相似文献
