Urine of a fucosidosis patient contained a large amount of fucosyl oligosaccharides and fucose-rich glycopeptides. Six major oligosaccharides were purified by a combination of Bio-Gel P-2 and P-4 column chromatographies and paper chromatography. Structural studies by sequential exoglycosidase digestion and by methylation analysis revealed that their structures were as follows: Fucalpha1 leads to 6GlcNAc, Fucalpha1 leads to 2Galbeta1 leads to 4(Fucalpha1 leads to 3)GlcNAcbeta1 leads to 2Manalpha1 leads to 3Manbeta1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Galbeta1 leads to 4(Fucalpha1 leads to 3)GlcNAcbeta1 leads to 4Manalpha1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Galbeta1 leads to 4(Fucalpha1 leads to3)GlcNAcbeta1 leads to 2Manalpha1 leads to 6Manbeta1 leads to 4GlcNAc, and Galbeta1 leads to 4(Fucalpha1 leads to 3)GlcNAcbeta1 leads to 4Manalpha1 leads to 6Manalpha1 leads to 6Manbeta1 leads to 4GlcNAc. In additon, the structure of a minor decasaccharide was found to be Galbeta1 leads to (Fucalpha1 leads to)GlcNAcbeta1 leads to Manalpha1 leads to [Galbeta1 leads to (Fucalpha1 leads to)GlcNAcbeta1 leads to Manalpha1 leads to]Manbeta1 leads to 4GlcNAc. 相似文献

Structural study of the sugar chains of alpha-amylases produced ectopically in tumors 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
About thirty percent of two alpha-amylases produced from a serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the ovarium (case 1) and a bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma of the lung (case 2) was glycoproteins containing 1 mol of asparagine-linked sugar chain, respectively. The structures of the sugar moieties were found by sequential enzymatic degradation and methylation analysis to be as follows: [(Gal beta 1 leads to 4)0 or 1GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6(3)][GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3(6)]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 6)GlcNAc and [(Gal beta 1 leads to 4)0 or 1GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6][NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 6Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Fuc alpha 1 leads to 6)GlcNAc. Structures of asparagine-linked sugar chains were the same in the tumors of cases 1 and 2 and were incomplete in comparison with those of the parotid amylase. 相似文献

Abstract: Glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP)-positive astrocytes isolated from the cerebral cortices of 3–10-day-old rats frequently showed increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration responses to l -glutamate and glutamate analogues. However, few of the acutely isolated cells responded to ATP, and no such cells responded to serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)]. The same cell that failed to respond to ATP or 5-HT often responded to glutamate. Culturing acutely isolated cells in media containing horse serum decreased Ca2+ responses to glutamate but increased the responses to ATP and induced responses to 5-HT. In primary cultures prepared from the cerebral cortices of 1-day-old rats and cultured in horse serum, fewer of the cells responded to glutamate, but almost all cells responded to ATP and 5-HT. The lack of, or limited response to, 5-HT or ATP in the acutely isolated cells seems unlikely to be due to selective damage to the respective receptors because acutely isolated GFAP-negative cells showed responses to ATP, several different proteases and mechanical dissociation yielded cells that also responded to glutamate but not to ATP, and exposure of primary cultures to papain did not abolish Ca2+ responses to several transmitters. The responses of the acutely isolated cells to glutamate but limited or lack of responses to ATP and 5-HT also correspond to what has been seen so far for astrocytes in situ. Thus, the present studies provide direct evidence that some of the receptors seen in primary astrocyte cultures may reflect a response to culture conditions and that, in the context of the relevant information so far available, acutely isolated astrocytes seem to reflect better the in vivo state. 相似文献

The use of plants and bacterial to clean up environmental pollutants has gained momentum in past years. A limitation to phytoremediation of solvents has been toxicity of the compounds to plants, and the uncertainty as to the fate of many of the compounds. In a recent study, engineered endophytes have been shown to increase plant tolerance to toluene, and to decrease the transpiration of toluene to the atmosphere. This type of work has the potential to increase the use of phytoremediation by decreasing toxicity and increasing degradation of toxins. 相似文献

Trifluoperazine inhibits the activation of phosphodiesterase by binding to the calcium-dependent activator. To determine further the specificity by which trifluoperazine binds to activator, we compared the binding of trifluoperazine to activator prepared from several species and tissues and to a number of other calcium-binding proteins devoid of activator activity.Trifluoperazine binds to activator prepared from human, bovine, rat and rabbit brain and from chick embryo fibroblasts. In each case, the binding of trifluoperazine to activator was qualitatively similar and related quantitatively to the ability of the preparation to activate phosphodiesterase.Of the other calcium-binding proteins examined, namely, troponin-C, S-100 protein, phospholipase A, phospholipase B and myosin light chain, only troponin-C displayed any significant calcium-specific binding of trifluoperazine. The binding to troponin-C, however, appeared to be different from the binding to activator; whereas the binding of trifluoperazine to actovator showed no cooperativity, the binding to troponin-C showed positive cooperatively.These results and earlier data showing that trifluoperazine fails to bind to a variety of other proteins, indicate that the binding of trifluoperazine to the calcium-dependent activator of phosphodiesterase is selective and suggest that this binding may explain some of the biochemical and pharmacological actions of this antipsychotic agent. 相似文献

Binding of dexamethasone · receptors with isolated nuclei, DNA-cellulose and cellulose has been compared with respect to dependence on salt concentration and resistance to KCl extraction and DNAase I digestion. A solution of cytoplasmic dexamethasone-receptor complexes was prepared by the incubation of rat thymus cells with steroid at 3°C and breaking the cells by hypotonic lysis. Activation of the complexes was accomplished by warming the solution at 25°C for 15 min. Activation significantly increased the ability of dexamethasone · receptors to bind to nuclei and DNA-cellulose but not to cellulose. Dexamethasone-receptor complexes bound to nuclei at 3°C are completely resistant to extraction with 0.1 M KCl, 76% resistant to 0.2 M KCl and 20% resistant to 0.4 M KCl. Dexamethasone · receptors bound to DNA-cellulose are 45% resistant to extraction with 0.1 M and 0.2 M KCl and 29% resistant to 0.4 M KCl extraction. Cellulose-bound dexamethasone · receptors are not resistant to any of these extractions. DNAase I treatment releases 60% of the dexamethasone · receptors bound to DNA-cellulose but only 13% of those bound to nuclei, though at least 60% of the nuclear DNA is solubilized. The presence of 0.15 M KCl decreases binding of activated dexamethasone · receptors to nuclei by 73% but to DNA-cellulose by only 17%. Pretreatment of nuclei with 0.1–0.4 M KCl reduces their capacity to bind activated dexamethasone · receptors by 90% whereas similar treatment reduces the capacity of DNA-cellulose to bind dexamethasone · receptors by only 29%. Nuclei extracted with 0.1 M KCl appear to have a limited capacity to accept dexamethasone · receptors. These studies demonstrate that binding of dexamethasone · receptors to nuclei and DNA-cellulose differs by (a) the higher resistance of nuclear complexes to KCl and DNAase I treatment; (b) the much greater sensitivity of nuclei to KCl treatment. 相似文献

The alpha(2) integrin subunit cytoplasmic domain is necessary for epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated chemotactic migration and insulin-dependent entry into S-phase of mammary epithelial cells adherent to type I collagen. Truncation mutants revealed that the seven amino acids, KYEKMTK, in addition to the GFFKR motif were sufficient for these functions. Mutation of tyrosine 1134 to alanine inhibited the ability of the cells to phosphorylate p38 MAPK and to migrate in response to EGF but had only a modest effect on the ability of the cells to induce sustained phosphorylation of the ERK MAPK, to up-regulate cyclin E and cdk2 expression, and to enter S-phase when adherent to type I collagen. Conversely, mutation of the lysine 1136 inhibited the ability of the cells to increase cyclin E and cdk2 expression, to maintain long term phosphorylation of the ERK MAPK, and to enter S-phase but had no effect on the ability of the cells to phosphorylate the p38 MAPK or to migrate on type I collagen in response to EGF. Methionine 1137 was essential for both migration and entry into S-phase. Thus, distinctly different structural elements of the alpha(2) integrin cytoplasmic domain are required to engage the signaling pathways leading to cell migration or cell cycle progression. 相似文献

Although a variety of behaviors expose animals to some risk of predation, there is no accepted way to compare their relative risk. For animals that retreat to refugia when alarmed by predators, the proportion of time devoted to each out-of-refuge behavior multiplied by the total time required to return to a refuge can be used to compare a behavior's relative predation risk. Total time to return to a refuge is a function of both response time - the time required to respond to an increased risk of predation — and travel time — the time required to flee to a refuge once alarmed. Quantifying these components can illustrate how animals minimize exposure to predators. Golden marmots (Marmota caudata aurea) were a refuging prey species used to examine the utility of this measure and to understand how marmots minimized their risk of exposure to predation. Golden marmots devoted different amounts of time to looking, foraging, self-grooming, and playing. To estimate the behavior-specific time required to return to refugia, the location of different activities was noted and a behavior-specific travel time was calculated. Alarm calls were played back to marmots engaged in different behaviors to determine, in a standardized manner, if there were behavior-specific response times. Marmots appeared to minimize their predation risk by performing most behaviors close to refugia. Results suggest that foraging was the riskiest behavior, largely because marmots foraged far from refugia and spent about 30% of their time foraging. While sample sizes were small, results also suggested that play, a rare adult behavior, exposed animals to predation because of a relatively long response time. 相似文献

The latest applications of physiologic principles to the solution of agricultural and horticultural problems involve the use of synthetic hormones to stimulate rooting of cuttings, to effect blossom thinning in fruit production, to prevent pre-harvest fruit drop, to produce seedless fruit, to achieve control of weeds, to break as well as to prolong dormancy, and to bring about other economically important controls of plant growth. 相似文献

Oligosaccharide patterns obtained by gel filtration of the urine of GM1-gangliosidosis Type 1 patients are quite different from those of GM1-gangliosidosis Type 2. By studies of oligosaccharides in the four major peaks obtained from the Type 1 subgroup using sequential exoglycosidase digestion, methylation analysis, and periodate oxidation, the structures of 15 oligosaccharides: Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Man alpha 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc NAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 6(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 6[Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 4(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2)Man alpha 1 leads to 3]Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 6, and 3(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 2Man alpha 1 leads to 3 and 6)Man beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc, (formula see text) were elucidated. The amounts of total oligosaccharides excreted in the urine of the Type 2 subgroup were approximately one-tenth of those of Type 1. Moreover, the last eight oligosaccharides shown above, which have a Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to outer chain, were completely missing in the urine of Type 2. 相似文献

Forty-six local and imported wood were tested for resistance to feeding damage by the termite Anacanthotermes ochraceus (Burmeister), the most dominant species in the United Arab Emirates and the Arab Gulf region. Wood was used for construction, wall paneling, and furniture. Wood was evaluated in a 4-wk forced feeding bioassay. Each wood block was graded by the amount of termite damage by using a damage rating index (DRI) of 0 to 5 and wood rating index from very resistant to very susceptible wood. Local wood was mostly susceptible to feeding of termites; imported wood varied in resistance to feeding damage. Wood was placed in groups according to the percentages of weight loss (WL), termite survival (TS), and DRI. Wood was classified as very resistant (%WL from 0.0 to 0.3, %TS from 0.01 to 0.5, and DRI of 0.01), resistant (%WL from 1.1 to 4.9, %TS from 0.8 to 4.8, and DRI of 1.0), moderately resistant (%WL from 6.6 to 9.3, %TS from 6.3 to 8.3, and DRI of 2.0-2.3), slightly resistant (%WL from 10.1 to 19.9, %TS from 9.5 to 28.0, and DRI of 2.5-3.5), susceptible (%WL from 21.5 to 48.6, %TS from 37.3 to 64.8, and DRI of 4.0-4.3) and very susceptible (%WL from 50.0 to 59.8, %TS from 72.8 to 79.0, and DRI of 4.5-5.0). The characterization of the extracts of resistant wood may prove of economic value and lead to the development of new chemicals (repellents or antifeedants) for termite control. 相似文献

Complexes between Escherichia coli RNA polymerase and bacteriophage S13 and phage phiX174 replicative form III DNAs have been shown to form at specific locations on the phage genomes. The major locations on S13 have been mapped at 8 to 10 and 92 to 96% of the genome length, starting from the unique Pst I cleavage site. The locations correspond to the beginnings of genes D and B, respectively. Four minor locations map at 18 to 22, 28 to 32, 50 to 56, and 70 to 74% of the genome. The 70 to 74% site corresponds to the beginning of the A gene. The major locations on phiX174 are at 8 to 10, 50 to 54, and 92 to 94% of the genome. The 50 to 54% site is at the start of the H gene and has an equivalent minor site on S13, but it is not a promoter site. Three minor sites on phiX174, at 20 to 24, 26 to 32, and 68 to 74% of the genome, correspond to sites on S13. The data confirm the locations of sites identified by restriction fragment binding experiments (E. Rassart and J. H. Spencer, J. Virol. 27:677--687, 1978) and the assignment of putative promoters at the start of genes A, B and D. 相似文献

Myotoxin a, a small basic polypeptide isolated from the venom of prairie rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis viridis), has been shown to bind to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase. The attachment of myotoxin a to Ca(2+)-ATPase is believed to cause uncoupling of the calcium pump. In order to further elucidate which portion of myotoxin a is important for the uncoupling action, five peptides were synthesized and two peptide fragments were obtained by chemical cleavage. These peptides correspond to discrete portions of the primary sequence of myotoxin a. The peptides are equivalent to the primary sequence of myotoxin a from 1 to 16 residues, 7 to 22 residues, 13 to 28 residues, 19 to 34 residues, and 25 to 42 residues. Chemically produced fragments are equivalent to 1 to 28 residues and 29 to 42 residues of myotoxin a. Peptides of the sequences "YKQCHKKGGHCFPKEK" and "LGKMDCRWKWKCCKKGSG" of myotoxin a inhibited 45Ca uptake into isolated SR and bound to Ca(2+)-ATPase. The same peptides caused weak skeletal muscle vacuolization similar to that caused by native myotoxin a and increased serum creatine kinase activity. The active peptides correspond to the N-terminal and C-terminal portions of myotoxin a. The inactive or less active peptides have sequences which correspond to the middle sequence of myotoxin a. From this study, both the N-terminal and the C-terminal regions of primary sequence of myotoxin a are required to express myotoxin a's biological activity. 相似文献

Due to its claim of contemporary exceptionalism, the notion of superdiversity raises suspicion among historians. However, historians would do well to not dismiss the entire superdiversity debate as more hype that does not concern them. As a multidimensional perspective on diversity, encouraging researchers to examine the interplay of many different factors that condition people's lives and to move beyond an ethno-focal perspective, superdiversity could be of interest to historians as well. This article shows how the notion can help historians debunk some of the homogenizing categories that tend to characterize the representation of past immigrant populations. The paper uses a superdiversity lens to examine migration to the city of Ghent from 1960 to 1980. It is an open invitation to historians to accept the challenges that superdiversity poses and to provide a proper historicization of the concept, thus furthering its theoretical development. 相似文献
