A physical map of the bacteriophage T5 genome was constructed by ordering the fragments produced by cleavage of T5 DNA with the restriction endonucleases SalI (4 fragments), SmaI (4 fragments), BamI (5 fragments), and HpaI (28 fragments). The following techniques were used to order the fragments. (i) Digestion of DNA from T5 heat-stable deletion mutants was used to identify fragments located in the deletable region. (ii) Fragments near the ends of the T5 DNA molecule were located by treating T5 DNA with lambda exonuclease before restriction endonuclease cleavage. (iii) Fragments spanning other restriction endonuclease cleavage sites were identified by combined digestion of T5 DNA with two restriction endonucleases. (iv) The general location of some fragments was determined by isolating individual restriction fragments from agarose gels and redigesting the isolated fragments with a second restriction enzyme. (v) Treatment of restriction digests with lambda exonuclease before digestion with a second restriction enzyme was used to identify fragments near, but not spanning, restriction cleavage sites. (vi) Exonucleases III treatment of T5 DNA before restriction endonuclease cleavage was used to locate fragments spanning or near the natural T5 single-chain interruptions. (vii) Analysis of the products of incomplete restriction endonuclease cleavage was used to identify adjacent fragments. 相似文献

The DNA fragments generated by restriction endonuclease BamI which contain the araCBAD genes from E.coli B/r have been cloned. The DNA fragments containing ara genes were idenified by a compairson of the BamI fragments of lambdah80dara phages containing different ara deletion mutations. The ara genes were cloned into the plasmid pBR317, a derivative of ColE1. The cloned DNA fragments were analyzed by digestion with pairs of restriction endonucleases to determine the molecular weight of the chimeras and to identify the cloned ara DNA fragments. The cloned ara fragments were also identified by genetic complementation and recombination tests. 相似文献

A common protease-resistant fragment (Mr = 27,000) was generated from purified rat hepatic actinogelin, and rat skeletal muscle and chicken gizzard alpha-actinins by limited proteolysis using thermolysin. A monoclonal antibody (A-1) which was raised against the rat hepatic actinogelin and has a cross-reactivity with rat skeletal muscle and chicken gizzard alpha-actinins was found to bind to all of the 27-kDa fragments selectively. Furthermore, one-dimensional peptide maps of the 27-kDa fragments showed a close similarity indicating the presence of some conservation in primary structure of the fragments. The 27-kDa fragments were purified to homogeneity by the same procedure using ammonium sulfate fractionation and hydrophobic chromatography. As the fragments were easily separated from other peptides during purification, they might be present as an independent structural domain. Purified 27-kDa fragments were found to bind to F-actin in a Ca2+-insensitive manner. The fragments failed to affect the low-shear viscosity of F-actin up to a molar ratio to actin monomer of 1:3.2, indicating that gelation activity of the parental molecules was lost and the fragments have only a single binding site on F-actin. Binding of the fragments to F-actin was almost completely inhibited by respective parental molecules, while binding of the whole molecules was blocked partly by their 27-kDa fragments. Thus, the interaction of the fragments with F-actin seemed to be specific, although apparent affinity was lower than the parental molecules. Considering these results, we concluded that the 27-kDa fragments are a conserved, monovalent, and Ca2+-insensitive actin-binding domain of the actinogelin and muscle alpha-actinins. 相似文献

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) allows separation of large restriction fragments from bacterial genome. Restriction fragments obtained by digestion of Staphylococcus aureus DNA with rare cutting enzymes (Sma I, and Csp I) were separated by PFGE. To arrange the physical order of the fragments generated by digestion with one enzyme, probes were prepared by nonspecific priming and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using individual fragments of the other enzymatic digest as a template. Probes were then used for Southern hybridization to the PFGE separated fragment distribution of the two infrequent cleaving enzymes (Sma I and Csp I). Using probes generated from four Sma I fragments and five Csp I fragments as individual templates, a partial physical order of Csp I fragments of the genome of S. aureus ISP8 has been determined in relation to a previously published Sma I map of S. aureus genome. 相似文献

Fragment-based learning of visual object categories 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
When we perceive a visual object, we implicitly or explicitly associate it with a category we know. It is known that the visual system can use local, informative image fragments of a given object, rather than the whole object, to classify it into a familiar category. How we acquire informative fragments has remained unclear. Here, we show that human observers acquire informative fragments during the initial learning of categories. We created new, but naturalistic, classes of visual objects by using a novel "virtual phylogenesis" (VP) algorithm that simulates key aspects of how biological categories evolve. Subjects were trained to distinguish two of these classes by using whole exemplar objects, not fragments. We hypothesized that if the visual system learns informative object fragments during category learning, then subjects must be able to perform the newly learned categorization by using only the fragments as opposed to whole objects. We found that subjects were able to successfully perform the classification task by using each of the informative fragments by itself, but not by using any of the comparable, but uninformative, fragments. Our results not only reveal that novel categories can be learned by discovering informative fragments but also introduce and illustrate the use of VP as a versatile tool for category-learning research. 相似文献

A physical map of the genome of temperate phage phi 3T. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A physical map of the genome of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage phi 3T was constructed by ordering the fragments produced by cleavage of phi 3T DNA with restriction endonucleases AvaII (2 fragments), BglI (2 fragments), SmaI (3 fragments), BamHI (6 fragments), SalI (7 fragments), AvaI (7 fragments), SacI (12 fragments), PstI (14 fragments), and BglII (26 fragments). Two techniques were used to order the fragments: (1) Sets of previously ordered restriction fragments were isolated and redigested with the endonuclease whose cleavage sites were to be mapped. (2) Fragments located near the ends of the genome or near the ends of other restriction fragments were ordered by treating the DNA with lambda exonuclease prior to restriction endonuclease cleavage. The susceptibility of phi 3T DNA to 15 other restriction endonucleases is also reported. 相似文献

Cell death (apoptosis) in hair follicles and consequent changes in the width of hairs after irradiation of growing follicles 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Irradiation of anagen (growing) hair follicles results in a dose-dependent increase in the number of histologically identifiable fragments of dead cells (apoptotic fragments). The incidence of apoptotic fragments is linearly related to dose, increasing at a rate of 2.92 fragments per follicle section per Gy. The effects of doses of 0.2 Gy can be easily detected. Subjective attempts to associate clusters of fragments with dead or dying cells suggests that the number of fragments per cell increases with dose (about 1.7 fragments per cell after 1 Gy to about 2.7 fragments per cell after 5 Gy). There is a natural incidence of cell death in controls (0.13 +/- 0.06 fragments per follicle section with about 1.4 fragments per dead or dying cell). Damage to the follicle cells is expressed in the differentiated product of the follicle, the hair, by a reduction in width. This is probably the cellular basis for the production of dysplastic hairs. The hair width has been measured and is reduced by about 7 per cent for every gray of radiation. The value of the hair and hair follicles as potential biological dosimeters is discussed. 相似文献

We examined the primary structure of α-amylase produced by Bacillus subtilis var. amylosacchariticus by isolation and characterization of CNBr fragments of the enzyme. By solubilization and precipitation in a buffer, the fragments were first fractionated into two. The soluble fraction was fractionated by Bio-Gel P-30, and three fragments were obtained. The insoluble fraction was fractionated by SP-Sephadex C-25 and further purified by Bio-Gels, and five fragments were isolated. Amino acid sequences near the N- and C-terminus were determined with the eight CNBr fragments. By matching the sequences with those of methionine-containing tryptic peptides, alignment of the eight CNBr fragments was determined. 相似文献

A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described. The AFLP technique is based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of genomic DNA. The technique involves three steps: (i) restriction of the DNA and ligation of oligonucleotide adapters, (ii) selective amplification of sets of restriction fragments, and (iii) gel analysis of the amplified fragments. PCR amplification of restriction fragments is achieved by using the adapter and restriction site sequence as target sites for primer annealing. The selective amplification is achieved by the use of primers that extend into the restriction fragments, amplifying only those fragments in which the primer extensions match the nucleotides flanking the restriction sites. Using this method, sets of restriction fragments may be visualized by PCR without knowledge of nucleotide sequence. The method allows the specific co-amplification of high numbers of restriction fragments. The number of fragments that can be analyzed simultaneously, however, is dependent on the resolution of the detection system. Typically 50-100 restriction fragments are amplified and detected on denaturing polyacrylamide gels. The AFLP technique provides a novel and very powerful DNA fingerprinting technique for DNAs of any origin or complexity. 相似文献

Sizing of DNA fragments is a routine analysis traditionally performed on agarose or polyacrylamide gels. Electrophoretic analysis is labor-intensive with only limited potential for automation. Recovery of DNA fragments from gels is cumbersome. We present data on automated, size-based separation of DNA fragments by ion-pair reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (IP RP HPLC) - DNA chromatography - on the WAVE DNA Fragment Analysis System with the DNASep cartridge. This system is suitable for accurate and rapid sizing of double-stranded (ds) DNA fragments from 50 to ca. 2000 base pairs (bp). Fluorescently labeled DNA fragments are compatible with the technology. Length-dependent separation of dsDNA fragments is sequence independent and retention times are highly reproducible. The resolving capabilities of DNA chromatography are illustrated by the analysis of multiple DNA size markers. Resolved dsDNA fragments are easily collected and are suitable for downstream applications such as sequencing and cloning. DNA chromatography under denaturing conditions with fluorescently labeled DNA fragments offers a means for the separation and purification of individual strands of dsDNA. Analysis of DNA fragments on the WAVE System is highly automated and requires minimal manual intervention. DNA chromatography offers a reliable and automated alternative to gel electrophoresis for the analysis of DNA fragments. 相似文献

Fragment-based lead discovery is a new approach for lead generation that has emerged in the past decade. Because the initial fragments identified in the fragment screening typically show weak binding affinity, an intensive medicinal chemistry effort would be required to grow initial fragments into a potential lead compound. Here we demonstrate a kinase focused evolved fragment (KFEF) library, constructed by click chemistry-based fragment assembly, that is a valuable source of kinase inhibitors. This combinatorial assembly of two fragments, kinase-privileged alkyne fragments and diversified azide fragments, by two cycloaddition reactions shows a unique potential for the one-step synthesis of structurally diverse evolved fragments. The screening of this triazole-based KFEF library allowed the rapid identification of potent lead candidates for FLT3 and GSK3β kinase. 相似文献

Model of fibronectin tertiary structure based on studies of interactions between fragments 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Human plasma fibronectin aggregates in solution and is thought to form fibrils on cell surfaces, perhaps by self-associating and by interacting with other components such as proteoglycans. We have localized the self-association domains by testing the ability of various fragments of fibronectin to interact with each other. Complexation between fluorescamine-labeled fragments and unlabeled fragments or whole molecules was assessed by gel filtration high-performance liquid chromatography. The fragments studied included nonoverlapping fragments that are situated on the fibronectin polypeptide chain in the following order, beginning from the amino terminus: the 29-, 50-, 120-, 35-, and 25-kDa fragments, as well as multiple-domain fragments of 72 kDa containing the 29- and 50-kDa segments, a fragment of 150 kDa containing the 120- and 35-kDa segment, a fragment of 190 kDa containing the 120- and 35-kDa segments, a fragment of 190 kDa containing the 50-, 150-, and 25-kDa segments, and a 45-kDa fragment containing the 35-kDa segment. The amino-terminal 29-kDa fragment bound to the carboxyl-terminal heparin-binding (Hep II) 35-kDa fragment as well as the 150- and 190-kDa fragments that contain the 35-kDa segment. On the other hand, carboxyl-terminal 35- and 45-kDa Hep II containing fragments bound to each other as well as to amino-terminal 29- and 72-kDa fragments and to the 190-kDa fragment. Further, the 25-kDa carboxyl-terminal fibrin-binding fragment bound the 190-kDa fragment, the only fragment containing the 25-kDa segment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A cathepsin D (CD) inhibitor was searched using mouse embryonic fibroblasts deficient for CD. Synthetic DNA fragments specifically inhibited CD activity in a dose-dependent manner, but not the activities of other serine or cysteine proteinases. Cathepsin E activity was also inhibited by DNA fragments when hemoglobin was used as a substrate. CD inhibition by DNA fragments appeared to be electrostatic in nature and dependent on Tm values. Moreover, CD activity was partly inhibited by exogenously ingested DNA fragments, suggesting that DNA fragments with high Tm values are potent inhibitors of CD in vitro and partly in vivo. 相似文献

This paper describes the minimum length of the turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) RNA necessary to fulfill the tRNA-like properties of the viral RNA: 50 to 75 nucleotides and 86 nucleotides from the 3' end of TYMV RNA are sufficient for adenylation and valylation respectively by the Escherichia coli system. The size of the tRNA-like fragments obtained in vitro in the presence of an E. coli, a reticulocyte or a chinese cabbage leaf extract has also been determined. Among the major fragments liberated from the 3' end of TYMV RNA by the three systems are fragments of 117 and 112 nucleotides. In addition, the E. coli extract liberates fragments of 139 and 61 nucleotides, and the reticulocyte lysate fragments of 109, 94, 84, 73 and 46 nucleotides. The cleavage of the viral RNA by several systems in vitro to yield RNA fragments encompassing the tRNA-like sequence suggests that such fragments might also be liberated in vivo. 相似文献

The ascidian egg contains muscle and endoderm determinants that play critical roles in the specification of muscle and endoderm cells, respectively. Endoderm cells of the ascidian embryo express alkaline phosphatase (AP) as a tissue-specific enzyme. We obtained egg fragments from the unfertilized eggs of Ciona savignyi by means of centrifugal force. The largest fragment (red fragments) contained the egg nucleus while other small fragments (black, clear and brown fragments) were anucleate. When inseminated, only red fragments developed into partial embryos, which showed only epidermis cell differentiation and, very rarely, AP activity. When red fragments were fused with other fragments, only black fragments promoted AP expression, suggesting that endoderm determinants were concentrated in the black fragments. A lower dose (1500 J/m2 ) of ultraviolet (UV) light did not eliminate the AP-promoting ability of black fragments, while this dose significantly repressed the ability to promote the expression of the muscle-marker. A higher dose (4500 J/m2 ) of UV light markedly reduced the AP-promoting activity of black fragments. These results suggest that factors for endodermal AP development are inactivated by UV irradiation, but are more resistant than muscle determinants. 相似文献

The fragmented Atlantic rain forest of Brazil: size, shape and distribution of forest fragments 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
PERTTI RANTA TOM BLOM JARI NIEMELA¨ ELINA JOENSUU MIKKO SIITONEN 《Biodiversity and Conservation》1998,7(3):385-403
The geographical characteristics of a total of 1839 forest fragments surrounded by sugar cane fields were studied in the Brazilian Atlantic rain forest region of the northeastern state of Pernambuco. The size and shape of the fragments as well as inter-fragment distances and the effects of varying edge width were examined using a geographical information system. The analyses show that the fragments are relatively small and close to each other. Approximately 48% of the rain forest fragments are <10 hectares, while only about 7% are >100 hectares. Forest fragments are close to each other, as fragments located 50m or less apart formed groups that included ca. 50% of the total forest area. At 350m inter-fragment distance, 98% of the rain forest area was included in groups of fragments. Due to the small size and irregular shape of the fragments, the total area of edge zone exceeds that of the interior habitat when the edge width is ca. 60m. At an edge width of 300m ca. 94% of the total fragment area is edge zone. For conservation purposes, ways of establishing networks of forest fragments connected by corridors and stepping stone fragments are demonstrated using GIS. Simulations using these techniques show that reforestation of sugar cane fields between the forest fragments would considerably increase the area of interior forest habitat and connectivity between fragments. 相似文献

The genomes of Bacillus subtilis phages phie, SPO1, and SP82 were compared by DNA-DNA hybridization, analysis of DNA fragments produced by digestion with restriction endonucleases, comparison of the arrays of peptides synthesized during infection, and phage neutralization. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments indicated that about 78% of the SP82 DNA was homologous with SPO1 DNA, whereas 40% of the phie DNA was homologous to either SPO1 or SP82 DNA. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to compare the molecular weights of DNA fragments produced by cleavage of SP82, SPO1, and phie DNAs with the restriction endonucleases Hae III, Sal I, Hpa II, and Hha I. Digestion of the DNAs with Hae III and Sal I produced only a few fragments, whereas digestion with Hpa II and Hha I yielded 29 to 40 fragments, depending on the DNA and the enzyme. Comparing the Hpa II fragments, 51% of the SP82 fragments had mobilities which matched those of SPO1 fragments, 32% of the SP82 fragments matched the phie fragments, and 34% of the SPO1 fragments matched the phie fragments. Comparing the Hha I digestion products, 62% of the SP82 fragments had mobilities matching the SPO1 fragments, 24% of the SP82 fragments matched the phie fragments, and 22% of the SPO1 fragments matched the phie fragments. Analysis of peptides by electrophoresis on one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gels showed that approximately 70 phage-specific peptides were synthesized in the first 24 min of each infection. With mobility and the intervals of synthesis as criteria, 66% of the different SP82 peptides matched the SPO1 peptides, 34% of the SP82 peptides matched the phie peptides, and 37% of the SPO1 peptides matched the phie peptides. Phage neutralization assays using antiserum to SP82 yielded K values of 510 for SP82, 240 for SPO1, and 120 for phie. 相似文献

The arrangement of disulfide bonds joining secretory component (SC) to the alpha chains in secretory IgA was studied by determining the molecular size of the principal fragments resulting from CNBr digestion of secretory dimeric Fc fragments from IgA (Fc)2alpha fragments). In vitro complexes formed by incubating 125I-free SC and myeloma 131I-(Fc)2alpha fragments were isolated by gel filtration and subsequently digested with cyanogen bromide. The CNBr digests of SC-(Fc)2alpha fragments were analyzed by gel filtration in 5 M guanidine. Two principal fragments were obtained, one containing a monomeric Fc fragment from IgA (Fcalpha) associated with SC (m.w. congruent to 110,000) and a second containing the second Fcalpha monomer (m.w. congruent to 50,000) from the dimeric SC-(Fc)2alpha. Similar results were obtained when secretory (Fc)2alpha fragments isolated from native secretory IgA dimer were subjected to CNBr digestion. The data indicate that SC is disulfide bonded to a single monomer subunit in secretory IgA dimer. 相似文献

Hydrozoan eggs are normally fertilized at the site of polar body formation. The female pronucleus is just under the cell membrane at this site. Sperm are attracted to the eggs and aggregate at this site. This paper demonstrates that this site is the only region on the egg surface where the sperm can fuse with the egg. This has been done by cutting unfertilized eggs into fragments containing the site of polar body formation and fragments without this region. Sperm were added to the fragments and their ability to be fertilized was assayed by noting whether or not they cleaved. Only fragments containing the site of polar body formation cleaved. The absence of cleavage in fragments lacking the site of polar body formation cannot be attributed to the inability of these fragments to attract sperm. Such fragments attract sperm for several hours while fragments which contain the site of polar body formation stop attracting sperm a few minutes after fertilization. Cytological studies of egg fragments which do not contain the site of polar body formation show that they do not contain sperm nuclei. The lack of cleavage in these fragments cannot be attributed to the lack of a female pronucleus. By using centrifugation it is possible to move the female pronucleus away from the site of polar body formation. By cutting these centrifuged eggs in an appropriate way it is possible to create egg fragments with the site of polar body formation that lack the female pronucleus and egg fragments that lack the site of polar body formation but contain a female pronucleus. Only fragments which contain the site of polar body formation can be fertilized. 相似文献
