Summary Short oligocytidylates can act as templates for the self-condensation of guanosine 5-phosphorimidazolide. In the absence of a catalytic metal ion or in the presence of Pb2+ a noticeable template effect is already observed with the dimer and the yield of long oligomers reaches a plateau with a hexamer template. Short templates give oligomers longers than the template length. The products are predominantly 2-5 linked for the Pb2+-catalyzed reaction while mixed linkages are observed in the uncatalyzed reaction.In the presence of Zn2+, a template effect is first observed with the pentamer and is maximal by the heptamer. The products are predominantly 3-5 linked. Oligomers shorter than or as long as the template are obtained in substantial yield, and longer products in much lower yields.Abbreviations G

Calcium transport has been studied using purified endomembrane vesicles from dark-grown roots of Pisum sativum L. Membranes from a mixed microsomal (non-mitochondrial) fraction showed ATP-dependent calcium uptake which was released by the ionophore A 23187, had a pH optimum of 7.2 and required Mg2+ for uptake. Membranes were further purified using a rapid sucrosedensity-gradient technique yielding vesicles suitable for transport studies, and were identified using marker enzymes. Uptake by plasma membrane, tonoplast, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus was indicated. Uptake by membranes of low density (predominantly tonoplast) had a pH optimum of 7.2–7.4 and nucleotide specificity ATP> guanosine 5-triphosphate>inosine 5-triphosphate>ADP>, while that by high-density membranes had a pH optimum of 7.5–7.9 and less specificity for ATP. The importance of regulating sucrose concentrations in calcium transport studies was demonstrated.Abbreviations ER

Photoaffinity labeling and partial purification of the putative plant receptor for the fungal wilt-inducing toxin,fusicoccin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The high-affinity fusicoccin-binding protein (FCBP) was solubilized from plasma-membrane vesicles prepared from leaves of Vicia faba L. by aqueous two-phase partitioning. Conditions for the solubilization of intact FCBP-radioligand complexes were worked out. About 60–70% of the complexes can be solubilized with 50–60 mM nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide in the presence of 1 mg· ml-1 soybean phosphatidylcholine, type IV S, and 20% (v/v) glycerol at pH 5.5. The slow dissociation of the radioligand, 9-nor-fusicoccin-8-alcohol-[3H] from the FCBP at low temperatures permits the purification of FCBP-radioligand complexes at 4–10° C by fast protein liquid chromatography on anion-exchange and gel permeation columns. The FCBP, extracted from plasma membranes with cholate and chromatographed in the presence of this detergent, gave an apparent molecular mass (Mr) of 80±20 kDa on gel permeation columns under the conditions used. By comparison of the elution profiles of the fraction most enriched in FCBP-radioligand complexes with polypeptide patterns obtained on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, a polypeptide with an Mr of approx. 34kDa co-separated with the radioactivity profile. A second, faint band of approx. 31 kDa was sometimes also observed co-electrophoresing. Photoaffinity labeling of plasma-membrane vesicles with the new compound 9-nor-8[(3,5-[3H]-4-azidobenzoy)ethylenediamine]-fusicoccin ([3H]ABE-FC) and subsequent separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis labeled a single band with an Mr of 35±1 kDa. Labeling in this band was strongly reduced when the membranes were incubated with [3H]ABE-FC in the presence of 0.1–1 M fusicoccin. From our data, we conclude (i) that the 34-35-kDa polypeptide represents the FCBP and (ii) that in detergent extracts of plasma membranes this polypeptide is probably present as a di- or trimeric structure.Abbreviations ABE-FC

Summary Two-dimensional crystalline arrays of Ca2+-ATPase molecules develop after treatment of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with Na3VO4 in a Ca2+-free medium. The influence of membrane potential upon the rate of crystallization was studied by ion substitution using oxonol VI and 3,3-diethyl-2,2-thiadicarbocyanine (Di–S–C2(5)) to monitor inside positive or inside negative membrane, potentials, respectively. Positive transmembrane potential accelerates the rate of crystallization of Ca2+-ATPase, while negative potential disrupts preformed Ca2+-ATPase crystals, suggesting an influence of transmembrane potential upon the conformation of Ca2+-ATPase. 相似文献

The transmembrane proton gradient of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain CSN has been determined by in vivo31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in the absence of dioxygen. At pH 7.0 in the medium (pHex) the intracellular pH (pHin) was 7.5. By lowering pHex to 5.9 pHin decreased to 7.1. At pHex greater than 7.7 the transmembrane proton gradient (pH) was zero. The uncouplers 3,3,4,5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS) and carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), or the permeant anion thiocyanate caused complete dissipation of pH.Abbreviations

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

Isolated thylakoid membranes of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Y-1 with the 32-kDa polypeptide either radioactively labelled or unlabelled were incubated in vitro under various conditions in order to gain information about the degradation of the 32-kDa polypeptide. The degradation was higher at pH 6 compared with pH 7 and pH 8 and exhibited a temperature maximum between 20° C and 25° C (pH 6, pH 8). A light-dependent part of the total degradation was linearly dependent on white light of energy fluence rate between 1 and 20 mW·cm-2 at 25° C and leveled out at higher fluence rates. The degradation in light was only slightly stimulated by ATP but was reduced by 3-(3-4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea. Adenosine-5-diphosphate and heparin (2.7 mM and 200 g per 100 l, respectively) known to inhibit kinases, caused a 50% decrease in degradation indicating that a phosphorylation step is involved in degradating the 32-kDa polypeptide. Out of various inhibitors specific for different types of proteases, only those for thiol- and endoproteases showed intense effects. These results point to a proteolytic degradation of the 32-kDa polypetide by a thylakoid-membrane-bound thiol-endoprotease. Its activity yields soluble breakdown products with relative molecular masses (Mrs) of 23, 16.5, 11.3 and 10.7 kDa, and these are accumulated in the in-vitro system. Partial proteolytic digestion of thylakoids with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease results in at least two labelled breakdown products (Mrs 23, and 16.5 kDa). It is assumed that cleaving at identical amino-acid residues of the 32-kDa polypeptide by the thylakoid-membrane-bound thiolendoprotease and the V8 protease results in these two breakdown products. They are derived from subsequent cleavage at amino-acid residues 60–242 and 60–189 according to the deduced protein sequence (Erickson et al. 1984, EMBO J. 3, 2753–2762).Abbreviations DCMU

The rate of CO2- and p-benzoquione-dependent photosynthetic O2 evolution by Anabaena variabilis cells remained unaltered and the rate of O2 uptake observed after switching off the light (endogenous respiration) was enhanced by a factor of 6–8 when the O2 concentration was increased from 200 to 400 M. Photosystem-I-linked O2 uptake and respiration of the cells incubated with ascorbate and N,N,NN-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine was not appreciable influenced by the O2 concentration. 2-Iodo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-2,4,4-trinitrodiphenyl ether, blocking electron transfer at the plastoquinone level, suppressed O2 evolution and had no influence on endogenous respiration. 2-n-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, an inhibitor of electron transfer between photosystems II and I, as well as the cytochrome-oxidase inhibitors N

, CN- and NH2OH, caused a 35–50% retardation of endogenous respiration and blocked photosynthetic O2 evolution. The molar ratio of cytochromes b6, f, c-553, aa3 and photosystem-I reaction centers in the isolated membranes equalled approx. 2:1:2:0.7:2. It is inferred that endogenous respiration of A. variabilis cells is inhibited by the light-induced electron flow through both photosystems at the level of the plastoquinone-plastocyanin-oxidoreductase complex.Abbreviations DCMU

The enzymatic conversion of formaldehyde to CH3S-CoM in crude extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was used as a means to investigate the methyl-tetrahydromethanopterin: HS-CoM methyltransferase reaction. All components necessary for formaldehyde conversion were shown to be present in a soluble protein fraction. This soluble cell fraction still contained a major amount of corrinoids. Apart from tetrahydromethanopterin no other soluble cofactors were required for formaldehyde conversion. The dependence of the system on catalytic amounts of ATP was shown to be specific. Several nucleoside triphosphates or ADP were unable to substitute for ATP. Remarkably, various strong reducing systems, especially titanium(III)citrate could replace ATP to a large extent. The ATP-dependent formaldehyde conversion to CH3S-CoM was inhibited in the presence of nitrous oxide, detergents or 2,3-dialdehyde-ATP. The results support a role for a corrinoid protein in the methyl-tetrahydromethanopterin: HS-CoM methyltransferase reaction at which ATP is involved in the activation of this protein, probably in the conversion of inactive B12a or B12r to active B12s.Abbreviations HS-CoM

Summary In order to study some internal dynamic processes of the lac operator sequence, the 13C-labeled duplex 5d(C0G1C2T3C4A5C6A7A8T9T10) · d(A10A9T8T7G6T5G4A3G2C1G0)3 was used. The spreading of both the H1 and C1 resonances brought about an excellent dispersion of the 1H1-13C1 correlations. The spinlattice relaxation parameters R(Cz), R(Cx,y) and R(HzCz) were measured for each residue of the two complementary strands, except for the 3-terminal residues which were not labeled. Variation of the relaxation rates was found along the sequence. These data were analyzed in the context of the model-free formalism proposed by Lipari and Szabo [(1982) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 104, 4546–4570] and extended to three parameters by Clore et al. [(1990) Biochemistry, 29, 7387–7401; and (1990) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112, 4989–4991]. A careful analysis using a least-squares program showed that our data must be interpreted in terms of a three-parameter spectral density function. With this approach, the global correlation time was found to be the same for each residue. All the C1-H1 fragments exhibited both slow (s = 1.5) and fast (f = 20 ps) restricted libration motions (S

=0.74 to 1.0 and S

=0.52 to 0.96). Relaxation processes were described as governed by the motion of the sugar relative to the base and in terms of bending of the whole duplex. The possible role played by the special structure of the AATT sequence is discussed. No evident correlation was found between the amplitude motions of the complementary residues. The 5-terminal residues showed large internal motions (S2=0.5), which describe the fraying of the double helix. Global examination of the microdynamical parameters S

along the nucleotide sequence showed that the adenine residues exhibit more restricted fast internal motions (S
inf2
supf
=0.88 to 0.96) than the others, whereas the measured relaxation rates of the four nucleosides in solution were mainly of dipolar origin. Moreover, the fit of both R(Cz) and R(HzCz) experimental relaxation rates using an only global correlation time for all the residues, gave evidence of a supplementary relaxation pathway affecting R(Cx,y) for the purine residues in the (53) G4A3 and A10A9T8T7 sequences. This relaxation process was analyzed in terms of exchange stemming from motions of the sugar around the glycosidic bond on the millisecond time scale. It should be pointed out that these residues gave evidence of close contacts with the protein in the complex with the lac operator [Boelens et al. (1987) J. Mol. Biol., 193, 213–216] and that these motions could be implied in the lac-operator-lac-repressor recognition process. 相似文献

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

Summary A systematic study was made of the action of 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (SITS) and 4,4-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DIDS) on active Ca2+ transport of human erythrocytes. Pumping activity was estimated in inside-out vesicles (IOV's) by means of Ca2+-selective electrodes or use of tracer45Ca2+. The stilbenes exhibited an approximately equal inhibitory potency and their action could be overcome by carbonyl cyanidep-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) at low but not at high stilbene concentrations. In the absence of DIDS. Ca2+ transport was not affected upon addition of valinomycin, but it was appreciably reduced when vesicles were preincubated with low DIDS concentrations. Such an effect was strictly dependent on the external K+ concentration and it was abolished when valinomycin was added together with FCCP. Similar results were obtained using IOV's prepared from intact cells which had been previously exposed to the stilbene. The findings clearly demonstrate the presence in human red cells of a partially electrogenic Ca2+ pump, exchanging one Ca2+ ion for one proton. 相似文献

Summary [13C5]-2-Deoxy-d-ribose, synthesized from [13C6]-d-glucose (98% 13C), was coupled with thymine to give [1,2,3,4,5-13C5]-thymidine (T) in an 18% overall yield. The thymidine was converted to the 3-phosphoramidite derivative and was then incorporated into a dodecamer 5-d(CGCGAATTCGCG)-3 by solid-phase DNA synthesis. Preparation of 0.24 mole of the labeled dodecamer, which is sufficient for a single NMR sample, consumed only 25 mg of glucose. By virtue of the 13C labels, all of the 1H-1H vicinal coupling constants in the sugar moieties were accurately determined by HCCH-E.COSY. 相似文献

We investigated the ability of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to cause apoptotic cell death in cultured rat forebrain neurons and the potential mechanisms by which oxidative stress triggers delayed neuronal death. H2O2 (25 M for 5 min) reduced cell viability to 34.5 ± 8.3% of untreated controls 20 h after exposure, and resulted in a significant proportion of neurons which exhibited apoptotic nuclear morphology. Using single cell fluorescence assays, we measured H2O2-induced changes in DNA strand breaks, 27 dichlorofluorescin fluorescence, reduced glutathione, intracellular free Ca2+, and mitochondrial membrane potential. DNA strand breaks in response to H2O2 were not evident immediately following exposure, but were increased 12h and 20h after exposure. Millimolar concentrations of H2O2 caused increases in the fluorescence of the oxidant-sensitive fluorescent dye, 27-dichlorofluorescin. H2O2 treatment decreased reduced glutathione following 30 minutes of exposure using the fluorescent indicator, 5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate, and increased intra-neuronal free Ca2+ levels in a subpopulation of neurons. Mitochondrial membrane potential, measured by rhodamine 123 localization was unaffected by 25 H2O2, while higher concentrations of H2O2 (10 or 30 mM) depolarized mitochondria. These studies demonstrate that H2O2 is a potent and effective neurotoxin that produces oxidative stress, as well as apoptotic neuronal death 相似文献

The uptake of uridine-5-diphosphate (UDP) glucose into vacuoles isolated fromSaccharum sp. cells was fully inhibited by pretreatment with 50 Mp-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS) and was not affected by N-ethylmaleimide up to a concentration of 5 mM. The addition of 10 mM UDP-glucose during the pretreatment partially protected the uptake mechanism from PCMBS inhibition, while the presence of adenosine-5-diphosphate (ADP) glucose or of various hexose-phosphates had no protective effect. Parallel experiments on the binding of [203Hg]PCMBS to the vacuoles showed that UDP-glucose and UDP added at 10 mM concentrations caused a 40% decrease in the binding of PCMBS while ADP-glucose did not inhibit the binding. The results indicate the presence in a previously proposed group translocator of at least one site that can bind UDP-glucose. This site, which is blocked by PCMBS, interacts with the nucleotide moiety of UDP-glucose.Abbreviations ADP-glucose

Strain B51 capable of degrading polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was isolated from soil contaminated with wastes from the chemical industry. Based on its morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, the strain was identified as a Microbacterium sp. Experiments with washed cells showed that strain B51 is able to degrade ortho- and para-substituted mono-, di-, and trichlorinated biphenyls (MCB, DCB, and TCB, respectively). Unlike the known PCB degraders, Microbacterium sp. B51 is able to oxidize the ortho-chlorinated ring of 2,2-DCB and 2,4-DCB and the para-chlorinated ring of 4.4-DCB. The degradation of 2,4-DCB and 4,4-DCB was associated with the accumulation of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4-CBA) in the medium in amounts comprising 80–90% of the theoretical yield. The strain was able to utilize 2-MCB, 2,2-DCB, and their intermediate 2-CBA and to oxidize the mono(ortho)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,2-TCB and the di(ortho-para)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,4-TCB. A mixed culture of Microbacterium sp. B51 and the 4-CBA-degrading bacterium Arthrobacter sp. H5 was found to grow well on 1 g/l 2,4-DCB as the sole source of carbon and energy. 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

2D NMR spectroscopy and J coupling constant analysis are applied to resolve the structure of two photoproducts of thymidylyl-(35)-thymidine. These products are cyclobutane type thymine dimers possessing the cis-syn (the predominant one) and trans-syn geometry. The cis-syn is formed in an ANTI-ANTI conformation about the N-glycosyl linkages and resembles the normal base-stacked configuration. The glycosidic conformation in solution of the 5 terminal fragment differs from the crystal in which the less common SYN conformation is observed. In this isomer only the sugar pucker of the 3 terminal fragment is changed substantially with respect to the dinucleotide. The trans-syn isomer is formed in a SYN-ANTI glycosidic conformation. In this isomer the sugar puckers of both deoxyribose rings are affected and a preference for a pure 2-endo conformation is observed.Abbreviations dTpdT

Mid-log-phase cell suspensions of Corydalis sempervirens Pers., when incubated in micromolar or submicromolar concentrations of fusicoccin, strongly acidified the culture medium. High-affinity fusicoccin-binding sites were found in microsomes prepared from these cells using the radioligand [3H]-9-norfusicoccin-8-alcohol. Binding was saturable with an apparent dissociation constant (K
d) of 2.8 nM, a pH optimum of 6.0, a temperature optimum of 35° C and was rapid (t1/2 = 8 min). The site abundance was 0.76±0.17 pmol · (mg of protein)–1. In the same membrane preparations, the K+, Mg2+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) was characterized. The enzyme was highly vanadate-sensitive (IC50=6.5 M) and nucleotide-specific (ATPNTP), had a pH optimum of 6.2, an apparent K
m for ATP of 0.23±0.12 mM, and V
max of 10.6±1.8 nkat (mg of protein)–1. Fusicoccin doubled V
max and lowered, by a factor of 2, the apparent K
m for ATP of the enzyme when the cells were incubated with the toxin for 30 min prior to homogenization of the cells. The stimulation of the enzyme was also pronounced when fusicoccin was added to the homogenization medium just prior to homogenization of the cells, but was slight to zero when the toxin was added at the microsomal stage. The pronounced stimulatory effect of fusicoccin on the ATPase was seen at pH 7.1, i.e. at a pH typical for the cytoplasmic compartment, but was not detectable at pH 6.2, the pH optimum of the enzyme. The implications of these findings for an understanding of fusicoccin action are discussed.Abbreviations [3H]ABE-FC

A -carotene oxygenase is described which occurs in the Cyanobacterium Microcystis. It cleaves -carotene and zeaxanthin specifically at the positions 7,8 and 7,8, while echinenone and myxoxanthophyll are not affected. The oxidative cleavage of -carotene leads to the formation of -cyclocitral and crocetindial and that of zeaxanthin to hydroxy--cyclocitral and crocetindial in nearly stoichiometric amounts. Oxidant is dioxygen as has been demonstrated by high incroporation (86%) of 18O2 into -cyclocitral. -Carotene oxygenase is membrane bound, sensitive to sulfhydryl reagents, antioxidants and chelating agents. Iron seems to be an essential part of the enzyme activity. Cofactors necessary for the reaction could not be detected.Abbreviations TLC
