The variations in the concentrations of intra- and extracellular cyclic AMP and in he specific activities of adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) have been monitored in synchronized cultures of Nocardia restricta, a prokaryote belonging to the group of Actinomycetes. At the beginning of the cell cycle, during a first period of RNA and protein synthesis, there is an increasing synthesis of adenylate cyclase which can be suppressed in the presence of chloramphenicol or rifampicin. Simultaneously, the specific activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase decreases and the concentrations of intra- and extracellular cyclic AMP rise. After the end of DNA replication, during a second period of RNA and protein synthesis, the specific activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase increases; during the same time, the specific activity of adenylate cyclase and the level of intracellular cyclic AMP drop. It appears that the overall metabolism of cyclic AMP is coordinated so that the cyclic AMP level will be high at the beginning of DNA replication and will fall thereafter. The results are discussed in comparison with known data about the variations of cyclic AMP during the cell cycle of mammalian cells in cultures. 相似文献

The effect of intracellular iontophoretic injection of cyclic AMP on electrical activity of neurons RPa1, RPa3, LPa2, LPa3, and LPl1 in the corresponding ganglia ofHelix pomatia was investigated. Injection of cyclic AMP into neuron LPl1 was found to cause the appearance of rhythmic activity (if the neuron was originally "silent"), an increase in the frequency of spike generation (if the neuron had rhythmic activity), and a decrease in amplitude of waves of membrane potential, in the duration of the interval between bursts, and in the number of action potentials in the burst (if the neuron demonstrated bursting activity). In the remaining "silent" neurons injection of cyclic AMP led to membrane depolarization. Injection of cyclic AMP into neurons whose membrane potential was clamped at the resting potential level evoked the development of an inward transmembrane current (cyclic AMP current), the rate of rise and duration of which increased proportionally to the size and duration of the injection. Theophylline in a concentration of 1 mM led to an increase in the amplitude and duration of the cyclic AMP current by about 50%. It is concluded that a change in the cyclic AMP concentration within the nerve cell may modify the ionic permeability of its membrane and, correspondingly, its electrical activity.A. A.

A cyclic shop is a production system that repeatedly produces identical sets of parts of multiple types, called minimal part sets (MPSs), in the same loading and processing sequence. A different part type may have a different machine visit sequence. We consider a version of cyclic job shop where some operations of an MPS instance are processed prior to some operations of the previous MPS instances. We call such a shop an overtaking cyclic job shop (OCJS). The overtaking degree can be specified by how many MPS instances the operations of an MPS instance can overtake. More overtaking results in more work-in-progress, but reduces the cycle time, in general. We prove that for a given processing sequence of the operations at each machine, under some conditions, an OCJS has a stable earliest starting schedule such that each operation starts as soon as its preceding operations are completed, the schedule repeats an identical timing pattern for each MPS instance, and the cycle time is kept to be minimal. To do these, we propose a specialized approach to analyzing steady states for an event graph model of an OCJS that has a cyclic structure, which can keep the MPS-based scheduling concept. Based on the steady-state results, we develop a mixed integer programming model for finding a processing sequence of the operations at each machine and the overtaking degrees, if necessary, that minimize the cycle time. 相似文献

An adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase II (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was partially purified from the cytosol fraction of an exponentially growing culture of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Protein kinase II represented approximately 90% of the cytosolic protein kinase activity. The enzyme had a high degree of substrate specificity for calf thymus and Tetrahymena histones as compared to casein, protamine and phosvitin. The enzyme incorporated the terminal phosphate of ATP into serine and threonine residues of all the histone fractions. The apparent Km of the enzyme for adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) was 1-10-minus 8 M. Protein kinase II was also activated by other cyclic nucleotides with apparent Km values in the range 2.k-10-minus 6 M. Ther specific activity of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase of Tetrahymena decreases markedly from initial high values during the transition from the lag to early log phase of growth. This is followed by a shrp increase in the activity of the enzyme as the log phase of growth progresses. The specific activity of the enzyme increases rapidly during the heat-induced synchronization of Tetrahymena cells. The capacity for rapid phosphorylation of multiple classed of organelle-specific phosphoproteins and the level of cyclic AMP were maximal in Tetrahymena during the earliest phase of growth. These results demonstrate that the cell cycle of Tetrahymena may be coordinated by marked variations in the level of cyclic AMP which in turn regulate the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

Main peculiarities and possible mechanisms of the rhythms of proliferative activity and other characteristics of the tissue with near-weekly period are discussed. It is suggested that these variations may be explained by means of a simplest model which involves only processes of cell division and death with a delay of division stimulus about 24 hours, which corresponds to the duration of the mitotic cycle. In such a model there are periodic variations of the cell number with the period 4-7 times greater than the delay time. 相似文献

Motility assessment before birth can be used to evaluate the integrity of the nervous system. Sideways bending (SB) of head and/or rump, the earliest embryonic motility in both humans and guinea pigs, can be visualized sonographically. We know from other species that early embryonic motility is cyclic. This study explores the distribution of SB-to-SB intervals in human and guinea pig embryos before the appearance of more complex movements such as general movements. We hypothesized that the activity in both species is cyclic. We made 15-min sonographic recordings of SBs between 5 weeks and 0 days (5wk0d) and 7wk0d conceptional age (CA) in 18 human embryos of uncomplicated IVF pregnancies (term 38 weeks) and in 20 guinea pig embryos between 3wk4d and 4wk0d CA (term 9 weeks). SB-to-SB interval durations were categorized as long (≥10 s) or short (<10 s) intervals. For human embryos, the median values for long and short intervals were 61 s (range, 10-165 s) and 3 s (range, 1-9 s) respectively; for guinea pigs 38 s (range, 10-288 s) and 5 s (range, 1-9 s), respectively. During development, the duration of long intervals decreased while the number of short intervals increased for both species. The earliest embryonic motility in the human and guinea pig is performed cyclically with distinct developmental milestones. The resemblance of their interval development offers promising possibilities to use the guinea pig as a noninvasive animal model of external influences on motor and neural development. 相似文献

Unfertilized eggs of sea urchins. Anthocidaris crassispina and Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, were separated by centrifugation into two fractions (nucleated light and enucleated heavy fragments). The enucleated egg-fragments were activated by treatment with 1 M urea and then put into sea water solutions of the following three reagents; colcemid, cytochalasin B and Monogen at a concentration by which cleavage was suppressed. It was then examined whether the egg-fragments can exhibit cyclic changes of cytoplasm and cortex in correlation with the cleavage cycle in normally fertilized eggs without any influence of nuclear activity. The results obtained clearly showed that colcemid can suppress the cyclic appearance of cytoplasmic changes, but not that of cortical changes; on the contrary, in cytochalasin B- and Monogen-treated fragments, the periodicity in cortical activities is suppressed, while the periodic changes in the cytoplasm appear according to a timeschedule of the cleavage cycle. Therefore, it may be said that: 1) cyclic changes can occur in both the cytoplasm and the cortex independently, without the direct influence of nuclear activity; 2) if either of them is arrested, the cleavage does not take place; 3) the normal cleavage requires the simultaneous occurrence of periodic activities both in the cortex and in the cytoplasm after fertilization. 相似文献

Right-handed human subjects of 4 different ages (5-6, 8-9, 11-12 yo. and adult subjects) performed simple graphical movements in a cyclic manner with maximal possible tempo. The movements differed with respect to their coordination and serial complexity and were performed by each hand while holding the stylus either by the fingers or the fist. It was found that cycle duration considerably decreased with age from the age of 5 to adulthood and the amount of the age-related gain in the performance rate depended on which hand (right vs. left) and/or grip (fingers vs. fist) was used to perform a movement. The rate of successive submovements neither changed substantially with age nor showed any lateral asymmetry however it did depend on the movement being performed and the grip being used. The results show that the age-related trend in the cyclic movements can almost entirely be accounted for by a reduction in the number of submovements in a cycle. The results are discussed in the view of the hypothesis that considers submovements to be the building blocks of a graphical movement. 相似文献

This study is an attempt to develop a simple search method for lead peptide candidates, which include constrained structures in a recognized sequence, using the design of a competitive inhibitor for HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR). A structure-functional analysis of previously synthesized peptides proposes that a competitive inhibitory peptide can be designed by maintaining bioactive conformation in a recognized sequence. A conformational aspect of the structure-based approach was applied to the peptide design. By analysis of the projections obtained through a principle component analysis (PCA) for short linear and cyclic peptides, a head-to-tail peptide cycle is considered as a model for its linear analogy. It is proposed that activities of the linear peptides based on an identical amino acid sequence, which are obtained from a less flexible peptide cycle, would be relatively higher than those obtained from more flexible cyclic peptides. The design criterion was formulated in terms of a 'V' parameter, reflecting a relative deviation of an individual peptide cycle from an average statistical peptide cycle based on all optimized structures of the cyclic peptides in set. Twelve peptide cycles were selected for the peptide library. Comparing the calculated 'V' parameters, two cyclic peptides (GLPTGG and GFPTGG) were selected as lead cycles from the library. Based on these sequences, six linear peptides obtained by breaking the cycle at different positions were selected as lead peptide candidates. The linear GFPTGG peptide, showing the highest inhibitory activity against HMGR, increases the inhibitory potency nearly tenfold. Kinetic analysis reveals that the GFPTGG peptide is a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA with an equilibrium constant of inhibitor binding (K(i)) of 6.4 +/- 0.3 microM. Conformational data support a conformation of the designed peptides close to the bioactive conformation of the previously synthesized active peptides. 相似文献

Summary Oscillation of cyclic AMP and in the activity ratio of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and of glycogen phosphorylase with the cardiac cycle were demonstrated in the canine heart in situ. For tissue sampling an ECG (R-wave)-triggered, automatically working push-freeze-drill apparatus was developed which allows intraventricular cryobiopsies from the left ventricular muscle of anaesthetized open-chest dogs. The nucleotide cyclic AMP oscillated with the cardiac cycle during normal working condition, the higher cyclic AMP level occuring during systole. Cyclic GMP was assayed to be without oscillatory changes during the contraction-relaxation cycle. The rise in the activity ratio of protein kinase was found to coincide with the maximum in the level of cyclic AMP. Propranolol pretreatment prevents the transient in the level of the nucleotide as well as in the activity ratio of the kinase indicating i) a causal relationship between these changes and ii) a neurohumoral, beat-to-beat regulation by catecholamines released from the sympathetic nerve endings within the heart. Contrary the activity ratio of phosphorylase retains its transient changes during the cardiac cycle in the presence of propranolol, indicating a Ca-mediated activation of phosphorlase kinase during the contraction process. 相似文献

The daily mitotic activity (MA) in Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek. has been studied using local cultivar for Vietnam No I 176. It has been shown that the curve of mitotic activity has five peaks. Maximum mitotic index (MI) was observed at 04:00 (5.93 %) and the other peaks were at 02:00 (5.58 %), 08:00 (4.70 %), 12:00 (4.60 %) and at 22:00 (4.60 %). If we took into account that duration of the mitotic cycle in Vigna radiata makes up ten hours, we can propose that there are two peaks of MA within each cycle. It may be due to the presence of two meristematic cell subpopulations which enter mitosis at different time and have nearly equal duration of the cell cycle. 相似文献

Particulate cell fractions of mycelium of Mucor rouxii contain adenylate cyclase activity which can be partially solubilized by 2% Lubrol PX. The enzyme requires Mn2+ and its activity is not modified by NaF or guanosine nucleotides. Mycelial extracts also contain cyclic adenosine 3′:5′-monophosphate phosphodiesterase activity, 60% of which is soluble. This activity shows characteristic low Km (1 μm) for cyclic AMP and does not hydrolyze cyclic guanosine 3′:5′-monophosphate. It requires Mn2+ ions for maximal activity and is not inhibited by methylxanthines or activated by imidazole. Both enzymatic activities vary during the aerobic life cycle of the fungus. The spores have the highest levels of adenylate cyclase and cAMP phosphodiesterase, which decrease during the aerobic development. At the round cell stage, phosphodiesterase activity reaches 40% of the activity of the spores and varies only slightly thereafter. At this stage the specific activity of adenylate cyclase is 25% of the activity of ungerminated spores, and from this stage on, the activity increases up to the end of the logarithmic phase. Intracellular levels of cyclic AMP have been measured during aerobic germination. The variations of the intracellular level are tentatively explained by unequal variations in the activities of adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. A continuous increase of the extracellular cyclic AMP level during aerobic development has also been found, which cannot be accounted for solely by variations in the cyclase and diesterase activities. 相似文献

A 24-hour reduced cycle duration was observed in 5-day cyclic female rats exposed to the odor of urine from male or female castrated rats. A decrease in the duration of the period of vaginal closure, ranging from 2 to 5 days, was observed in female guinea pigs exposed to the odor of urine from male or female castrated guinea pigs. The pheromonal activity of urine in both species was concluded to be no dependent upon the gonadal function. 相似文献

During contractures of the turtle ventricle rapid changes in length induce sinusoidal oscillations under isotonic conditions. They are due to delayed responses to stretching and release, which can be demonstrated also under isometric conditions. Oscillations of two distinct frequencies are produced under different conditions and are distinguished as high- and low-frequency oscillations. In depolarized muscles the frequency is such that the duration of one cycle is about the same as that of a normal twitch, while in high-Ca solutions the duration can be the same as in high-K solutions or about six times lower. As reported previously, twitches are followed by weak mechanical and electrical oscillations. Their frequency agrees with the high-frequency oscillations. The same effects can also be induced by stretching and release. It is suggested that the phenomena observed are due to feedback mechanisms which originate in the contractile mechanism. The high-frequency oscillations are similar to those observed previously in other muscles, particularly insect fibrillar muscle, and are not due to changes in Ca concentration. The other mechanisms involve the membrane and possibly the intracellular Ca stores. 相似文献

The Influence of Hypoxia on the Concentrations of Cyclic Nucleotides in the Rat Brain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract: In order to study the influence of hypoxia on cyclic nucleotides in the brain, we reduced arterial Po, for 15–30 min in lightly anaesthetised and artificially ventilated rats to obtain values ranging from about 45 to about 10 mm Hg. In an additional group (arterial Po2 18–22 mm Hg), the tissue hypoxia was aggravated by moderate arterial hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure about 80 mm Hg). In all animals, electrocortical activity was recorded. Cyclic GMP concentrations in cerebral cortex were unchanged in all groups but one. In that group, in which tissue hypoxia was severe enough to induce a suppression-burst EEG pattern and a measurable reduction in the adenylate energy charge, cyclic GMP concentrations were slightly increased ( p < 0.05). Cyclic AMP concentrations remained unaltered at all degrees of hypoxia studied. It is concluded that changes in cyclic nucleotides in brain tissue occur first at such severe degrees of hypoxia of the duration studied that function and metabolism are profoundly altered. 相似文献
