Arabis stelleri var.japonica evidenced stronger osmotic stress tolerance than Arabidopsis thaliana.Using an A.thaliana microarray chip,we determined changes in the expression of approximately 2 800genes between A.stelleri plants treated with 0.2 M mannitol versus mock-treated plants.The most significant changes in the gene expression patterns were in genes defining cellular components or in genes associated with the endomembrane system,stimulus response,stress response,chemical stimulus response,and defense response.The expression patterns of three de novo proline biosynthesis enzymes were evaluated in A.stelleri var.japonica seedlings treated with 0.2 M mannitol,0.2 M sorbitol,and 0.2 M NaCl.The expression of Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase was not affected by NaCl stress but was similarly induced by mannitol and sorbitol.The proline dehydrogenase gene,which is known to be repressed by dehydration stress and induced by free L-proline,was induced at an early stage by mannitol treatment,but the level of proline dehydrogenase was increased later by treatment with both mannitol and NaCl.The level of free L-proline accumulation increased progressively in response to treatments with mannitol,sorbitol,and NaCl.Mannitol induced L-proline accumulation more rapidly than NaCl or sorbitol.These findings demonstrate that the osmotic tolerance of the novel halophyte,Arabis stelleri,is associated with the accumulation of L-proline. 相似文献

Post-Pleistocene avian colonization of deglaciated North America occurred from multiple refugia, including a coastal refugium in the northwest. The location of a Pacific Coastal refugium is controversial; however, multiple lines of evidence suggest that it was located near the Queen Charlotte Islands (also known as Haida Gwaii). The Queen Charlotte Islands contain a disproportionately large number of endemic plants and animals including the Steller's jay Cyanocitta stelleri carlottae. Using five highly variable microsatellite markers, we studied population structure among eight populations of Steller's jay (N = 150) from geographical areas representing three subspecies in western North America: C. s. carlottae, C. s. stelleri and C. s. annectens. Microsatellite analyses revealed genetic differentiation between each of the three subspecies, although more extensive sampling of additional C. s. annectens populations is needed to clarify the level of subspecies differentiation. High levels of population structure were found among C. s. stelleri populations with significant differences in all but two pairwise comparisons. A significant isolation by distance pattern was observed amongst populations in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. In the C. s. carlottae population, there was evidence of reduced genetic variation, higher number of private alleles than northern C. s. stelleri populations and higher levels of divergence between Queen Charlotte Island and other populations. We were unable to reject the hypothesis that the Queen Charlotte Islands served as a refugium during the Pleistocene. Steller's jay may have colonized the Queen Charlotte Islands near the end of the last glaciation or persisted throughout the Pleistocene, and this subspecies may thus represent a glacial relic. The larger number of private alleles, despite reduced genetic variation, morphological distinctiveness and high divergence from other populations suggests that the Queen Charlotte Island colonization pre-dates that of the mainland. Furthermore, our results show rapid divergence in Steller's jay populations on the mainland following the retreat of the ice sheets. 相似文献

Accessory cells were studied in early spermatogenesis of flatfishes Glyptocephalus stelleri and Pleuronectes pinnifasciatus using transmission electron microscopy. The morphological organization of accessory cells in G. stelleri was similar to that of Sertoli cells. In P. pinnifasciatus, these cells had morphological organization, which had not been previously described.Translated from Ontogenez, Vol. 36, No. 1, 2005, pp. 61–63.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Neznanova, Ivankov, Reunov. 相似文献

The biomineralized radular teeth of chitons are known to consist of iron-based magnetic crystals, associated with the maximum hardness and stiffness of any biomineral. Based on our transmission electron microscopy analysis of partially mineralized teeth, we suggest that the organic matrix within the teeth controls the iron oxide nucleation. Thus, we used Nano-LC-MS to perform a proteomic analysis of the organic matrix in radular teeth of the chiton Cryptochiton stelleri in order to identify the proteins involved in the biomineralization process. Since the genome sequence of C. stelleri is not available, cross-species similarity searching and de novo peptide sequencing were used to screen the proteins. Our results indicate that several proteins were dominant in the mineralized part of the radular teeth, amongst which, myoglobin and a highly acidic peptide were identified as possibly involved in the biomineralization process. 相似文献

The genetic structure of three snowbed-herb species (Peucedanum multivittatum, Veronica stelleri, and Gentiana nipponica) was analyzed using allozymes across nine populations arranged as a matrix of three snowmelt gradients x three geographic locations within 3 km in the Taisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. Phenologically asynchronous populations are packed within a local area in alpine snowbeds, because flowering season of alpine plants depends strongly on the timing of snowmelt. Moderate genetic differentiation was detected among local populations in every species (FST=0.03-0.07). There was a significant correlation between the geographic distance and genetic distance in the P. multivittatum populations, but not in the V. stelleri and G. nipponica populations. On the other hand, a significant correlation between the phenological distance caused by snowmelt timing and genetic distance was detected in the V. stelleri and G. nipponica populations, but not in the P. multivittatum populations. The snowmelt gradient or geographic separation influenced hierarchical genetic structure of these species moderately (FRT <0.04). Restriction of gene flow due to phenological separation and possible differential selection along the snowmelt gradient may produce genetic clines at microgeographic scale in these species. 相似文献

Differentiation of rat lens epithelial cells in tissue culture. II. Effects of cytochalasins B and D on actin organization and differentiation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Cytochalasins B and D were used to investigate the involvement of microfilaments in the differentiation of rat lens epithelial cells in tissue culture. Two questions were asked: (1) Does the organization of microfilaments change upon morphological differentiation of the lens epithelial cell? (2) Is the change in the organization of microfilaments required for the production of the differentiation-specific protein, γ-crystallin? Cytochalasin B arborized differentiating lens epithelial cells and had no effect on the undifferentiated cells. Immunofluorescent staining of these two types of cells revealed significant differences in the organization of actin. Actin appeared as longitudinal filaments in the differentiating cells, while it appeared in a diffuse nonfibrillar form in the undifferentiated cells. This indicated changes in the organization of actin during differentiation. Cytochalasin B caused a decline in cell number at 10?6–10?5M. However, only that concentration which caused arborization of cells and disruption of microfilaments (10?5M) inhibited morphological differentiation and production of γ-crystallin. Cytochalasin D (10?7–10?5M) did not cause a dramatic decrease in cell number; nevertheless, it induced the arborization of cells and disruption of microfilaments at lower concentrations (10?7–10?6M) and inhibited morphological differentiation and production of γ-crystallin at lower concentrations (10?7–10?6M) than did cytochalasin B. Thus, only those concentrations of cytochalasins which disrupt microfilaments and prevent their organization into filamentous form seem to inhibit differentiation. This suggests that the organization of actin is required for the program of differentiation of the lens epithelial cells. 相似文献

A potent and specific small molecule inhibitor of farnesyl-protein transferase, L-739,749, caused rapid morphological reversion and growth inhibition of ras-transformed fibroblasts (Rat1/ras cells). Morphological reversion occurred within 18 h of L-739,749 addition. The reverted phenotype was stable for several days in the absence of inhibitor before the transformed phenotype reappeared. Cell enlargement and actin stress fiber formation accompanied treatment of both Rat1/ras and normal Rat1 cells. Significantly, inhibition of Ras processing did not correlate with the initiation or maintenance of the reverted phenotype. While a single treatment with L-739,749 was sufficient to morphologically revert Rat1/ras cells, repetitive inhibitor treatment was required to significantly reduce cell growth rate. Thus, the effects of L-739,749 on transformed cell morphology and cytoskeletal actin organization could be separated from effects on cell growth, depending on whether exposure to a farnesyl-protein transferase inhibitor was transient or repetitive. In contrast, L-739,749 had no effect on the growth, morphology, or actin organization of v-raf-transformed cells. Taken together, the results suggest that the mechanism of morphological reversion is complex and may involve farnesylated proteins that control the organization of cytoskeletal actin. 相似文献

Dissociation-reorganization experiments were done with gonadal cells of newborn rats. Rotation cultures consisted of mixtures of somatic and germ cells of opposite sex. Somatic cells, ovarian or testicular, determined a female or male type respectively, of gonadal histomorphic organization. Germ cells did not affect the type of organization of somatic cells. Accordingly, suspensions containing somatic cells of one sex together with germ cells of both sexes, reorganized in rotation culture, into either a) follicles containing XX or XY germ cells, or b) tubules containing XX or XY or both types of germ cells. These results give morphological evidence for heterosexual germ-somatic cells interactions. Based on morphological and H-Y antigen studies, failure of germ cells to bind and express H-Y antigen is considered as a possible factor for this failure of germ cells to affect gonadal sex. 相似文献

The morpho-functional principles of intra-Golgi transport are, surprisingly, still not clear, which is in marked contrast to our advanced knowledge of the underlying molecular machineries. Recently, the conceptual and technological hindrances that had delayed progress in this area have been disappearing, and a cluster of powerful morphological techniques has been revealing new glimpses of the organization of traffic in intact cells. Here, we discuss the new concepts around the present models of intra-Golgi transport. 相似文献

The electron-microscopic analysis of the morphological status of 3LL (Lewis) carcinoma tumour cells in the process of cisplatin resistant phenotype formation has been performed. It was shown that selection of tumour cells forming cell clones characterized by more complicated nuclear and cytoplasm organization took place. The tumour cells had the diffused nuclear chromatin; nuclear envelope had the numerous pores with expanded diaphragms. The prominent nucleoli consisted of the active centres surrounded by considerable areas of the condensed nucleolar chromatin. Cell cytoplasm contained the well-developed Goldgi complex and the numerous well-structured myelinoid formations in the form of dense-wrapped concentric membrane structures. The obtained data can morphologically confirm the hypothesis of Gately D.P. and Howel S.B., 1993, thain the process of resistant phenotype formation the tumour cells can create the cellular mechanisms to remove the drug from the cell and to correct the damages of the cellular nucleus and cytoplasm. 相似文献

Advances in single-cell biotechnology have increasingly revealed interactions of cells with their surroundings, suggesting a cellular society at the microscale. Similarities between cells and humans across multiple hierarchical levels have quantitative inference potential for reaching insights about phenotypic interactions that lead to morphological forms across multiple scales of cellular organization, namely cells, tissues and organs. Here, the functional and structural comparisons between how cells and individuals fundamentally socialize to give rise to the spatial organization are investigated. Integrative experimental cell interaction assays and computational predictive methods shape the understanding of societal perspective in the determination of the cellular interactions that create spatially coordinated forms in biological systems. Emerging quantifiable models from a simpler biological microworld such as bacterial interactions and single-cell organisms are explored, providing a route to model spatio-temporal patterning of morphological structures in humans. This analogical reasoning framework sheds light on structural patterning principles as a result of biological interactions across the cellular scale and up. 相似文献

Erbstatin and methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate, related tyrosine kinase inhibitors, induced a morphological change in temperature-sensitive Rous sarcoma virus-transformed rat kidney (RSVts-NRK) that brought the cells close to the morphology of their normal counterpart. Erbstatin did not change the morphology of normal or Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed rat kidney cells. Erbstatin also inhibited morphological transformation of RSVts-NRK cells induced by a shifting in temperature. Actin stress fibres were observed only in normal cells and not in transformed cells. Erbstatin induced stress fibre organization in transformed cells. Erbstatin and methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate increased fibronectin gene expression in RSV-transformed cells. Thus, tyrosine kinase inhibitors induced normal phenotypes specifically in v-src-expressing cells. 相似文献

Recent biochemical and morphological studies using the MDCK cell line have provided insights into the organization of the endocytic pathways in an epithelial cell. The cytoskeletal organization of these cells has been described and evidence for the involvement of microtubules in facilitating endocytic traffic has been obtained. The findings with this model system are compared to results from in vivo studies of the endocytic pathways from the surface domains of specialized epithelial cells and to studies of endocytosis in neurons. 相似文献

The structural organization of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is briefly revised taking into consideration the organization of proteins and lipids and the concept of microdomains, lipid rafts and detergent resistant membranes. The biochemical data available concerning the presence of microdomains in parasitic protozoa is reviewed and emphasis is given on the identification of special domains recognized by morphological approaches, especially with the use of the freeze-fracture technique. 相似文献

Scanning electron microscopy shows the form of the cupulae of free neuromasts in two species of teleost fish, and gives information about the organization of the free neuromasts in teleosts and lampreys. In lampreys some neuromasts were found to lack the surrounding moat and the flanking hillocks characteristic of the lateral line organs previously described in these fish. In all cases, the sensory cells had the kinocilium aligned with respect to the stereocilia on the longer axis of the neuromast surface, thus enabling the direction of effective stimulation of the free neuromasts to be deduced from their morphological arrangement. 相似文献

Ultrastructural organization of neurons in the myenteric plexus of the cat small intestine has been studied in norm and after the blood stream had been switched off for 4 hours and 1, 3, 7, 30 days after recirculation. Ultrastructural uniformity of perikaryons is noted, therefore it is impossible to reveal electron microscopically neurons with different functional qualities. Four morphological types of preterminal dilatations of axons are revealed. Some neurons demonstrate certain resistance to the four hours' ischemia of the intestine, predominance of reactive processes in most of the cells. Dynamics of destructive and reparative processes are followed in neurons and their processes after recirculation. 相似文献

The 5S rRNA gene family organization among 87 species and varieties of Pythium was investigated to assess evolutionary stability of the two patterns detected and to determine which pattern is likely the ancestral state in the genus. Species with filamentous sporangia (Groups A-C according to the ITS phylogenetic tree for Pythium) had 5S genes linked to the rDNA repeat that were predominantly coded for on the DNA strand opposite to the one with the other rRNA genes (‘inverted’ orientation). A small group of species with contiguous sporangia (Group D) is related to Groups A-C but had unlinked 5S genes. The main group of species with spherical zoosporangia (Groups E-J) generally had unlinked 5S genes in tandem arrays. The six species in Group K, although they also have spherical sporangia, had linked genes on the same strand as the other rRNA genes ‘non-inverted’ and most of them had pairs of tandem 5S genes. The evolutionary stability of 5S sequence organization was compared with the stability of morphological characters as interpreted from a phylogeny based on ITS sequence analysis. Features of 5S sequence organization were found to be just as consistent within groups as were the morphological characters. To determine the ancestral type of 5S family organization, a survey of Phytophthora strains was conducted to supply an outgroup reference. The most parsimonious interpretation of the data in this survey yielded the tentative conclusion that the linked condition of the 5S sequences was ancestral. 相似文献
