was the predominant inorganic carbon form taken up. The inhibition by phenylglyoxal was irreversible at 32°C and high pH values, while that of butanedione became irreversible in the presence of borate. These interactions, as well as the protection of the irreversible phenylglyoxal-inhibition by inorganic carbon and by the membrane-impermeant agents 4,4-diisothiocyanostilbene 2,2-disulfonate and 4,4-dinitrostilbene-2,2-disulfonate indicate that arginine (and possibly also lysine) are involved in the HCO

uptake process, probably at the plasmalemma level. The photosynthetic affinity ofUlva to external inorganic carbon gradually decreased with increasing pH from 8.2 to 10.5, and this decrease parallels the decline in protonation of amino acids with a pK of around 10. Based on this information, as well as the inhibition studies, it is suggested that arginine and lysine residues are essential proteinaceous constituents involved in anionic inorganic carbon (HCO

The cleavage of adenosine-5-monophosphate (5-AMP) and guanosine-5-monophosphate (5-GMP) by Ce4+ and lanthanide complex of 2-carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge-132) in acidic and near neutral conditions was investigated by NMR , HPLC and measuring the liberated inorganic phosphate at 37°C and 50°C. The results showed that 5-GMP and 5-AMP was converted to guanine (G), 5-monophosphate (depurination of 5-GMP), ribose (depurination and dephosphorylation of 5-GMP), phosphate and adenine (A), 5-monophosphate (depurination of 5-AMP), ribose (depurination and dephosphorylation of 5-AMP), phosphate respectively by Ce4+. In presence of lanthanide complexes, 5-GMP and 5-AMP were converted to guanosine (Guo) and phosphate and adenosine (Ado) and phosphate respectively. The mechanism of cleaving 5-GMP and 5-AMP is hydrolytic scission 相似文献

Crude extracts of Rhodospirillum rubrum catalyzed the formation of acid-volatile radioactivity from (35S) sulfate, (35S) adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, and (35S) 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate. An enzyme fraction similar to APS-sulfotransferases from plant sources was purified 228-fold from Rhodospirillum rubrum. It is suggested here that this enzyme is specific for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, because the purified enzyme fraction metabolized adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, however, only at a rate of 1/10 of that with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. Further, the reaction with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate was inhibited with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphate whereas this nucleotide had no effect on the reaction with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. For this activity with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate the name APS-sulfotransferase is suggested. This APS-sulfotransferase needs thiols for activity; good rates were obtained with either dithioerythritol or reduced glutathione; other thiols like cysteine, 2-3-dimercaptopropanol or mercaptoethanol are less effective. The electron donor methylviologen did not catalyze this reaction. The pH-optimum was about 9.0; the apparent K
m for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate was determined to be 0.05 mM with this so far purified enzyme fraction. Enzyme activity was increased with K2SO4 and Na2SO4 and was inhibited by 5-AMP. These properties are similar to assimilatory APS-sulfotransferases from spinach and Chlorella.Abbreviations APS

Summary Human erythrocytes were treated with various hydrophobic arylisothiocyanates under conditions which favor modification of distinct proteinaceous nucleophiles. The morphological appearance of phenylisothiocyanate-treated cells was discoid and membrane-bound hydrolases (human acetylcholinesterase, sheep phospholipase A2) were fully active following membrane modification. Noncharged hydrophobic arylisothiocyanates, including phenylisothiocyanate, -naphthylisothiocyanate and heterobifunctional azidoarylisothiocyanates inhibited [35S]-sulfate efflux irreversibly. Protection against modification-induced inhibition of sulfate transport was attained by the simultaneous presence of the specific reversible anion transport inhibitor 4,4-dinitrostilbene-2,2-disulfonate. Selective protection of a functionally relevant domain of band 3 is concluded to occur based on the above-derived information. 相似文献

Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA.

Purified cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) RNA was reacted with NaIO4 and then [3H]KBH4 to label ends containing exposed 2,3-hydroxyls. The four major RNA species were then fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Analysis of digests of these RNAs by ribonucleases T1 plus T2, alkaline phosphatease, snake venom diesterase and nucleotide pyrophosphatase by means of paper electrophoresis and ion-exchange chromatography indicated that the sequence m7G(5)ppp(5)N was present at the 5-end of 75–92% of all RNA molecules. In addition, about 90% of the 3-ends terminated in either adenosine or cytidine. 相似文献

Crude extracts or supernatants of broken cells of Clostridium formicoaceticum reduce unbranched, branched, saturated and unsaturated carboxylates at the expense of carbon monoxide to the corresponding alcohols. The presence of viologens with redox potentials varying from E
0=-295 to-650 mV decreased the rate of propionate reduction. The more the propionate reduction was diminished the more formate was formed from carbon monoxide. The lowest propionate reduction and highest formate formation was observed with methylviologen. The carbon-carbon double bond of E-2-methyl-butenoate was only hydrogenated when a viologen was present. Formate as electron donor led only in the presence of viologens to the formation of propanol from propionate. The reduction of propionate at the expense of a reduced viologen can be followed in cuvettes. With respect to propionate Michaelis Menten behavior was observed. Experiments are described which lead to the assumption that the carboxylates are reduced in a non-activated form. That would be new type of biological reduction.Non-standard abbreviations glc

Summary The self-condensation of 2(3)-O-glycyl esters of adenosine, adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate in 6.2 mM solutions at pH 8.0 and -5°C in the presence of 12.5 mM poly(U) yields approximately 3 times as much diketopiperazine as reactions without poly(U). As the concentration of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate is decreased from 6.2 mM to 1.5 mM the yield of diketopiperazine in the presence of poly(U) decreases slightly from 6.6% to 5.2%, whereas, in the absence of poly(U) the yield of diketopiperazine decreases substantially from 2.4% to 0.75%. The enhanced yield of diketopiperazine that is attributed to the template action of poly(U) is temperature dependent and is observed only at temperatures below 10°C (5°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and below 23°C (15°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate. The absence of a template effect at high temperatures is attributed to the melting of the organized helices. The hydrolysis half-lives at pH 8.0 and -5°C of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine, 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate), 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate, and 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) are substantially larger than their half-lives in the absence of poly(U). The condensation of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine yields 5% of 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) compared to 0.7% in the absence of poly(U).Abbreviations DKP

Structural analogues of the NADP+ were studied as potential coenzymes and inhibitors for NADP+ dependent malic enzyme from Zea mays L. leaves. Results showed that 1, N6-etheno-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( NADP+), 3-acetylpyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (APADP+), nicotinamide-hypoxanthine dinucleotide phosphate (NHDP+) and -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2: 3-cyclic monophosphate (23NADPc+) act as alternate coenzymes for the enzyme and that there is little variation in the values of the Michaelis constants and only a threefold variation in Vmax for the five nucleotides. On the other hand, thionicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (SNADP+), 3-aminopyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (AADP+), adenosine 2-monophosphate (2AMP) and adenosine 2: 3-cyclic monophosphate (23AMPc) were competitive inhibitors with respect to NADP+, while -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 3-phosphate (3NADP+), NAD+, adenosine 3-monophosphate (3AMP), adenosine 2: 5-cyclic monophosphate (25AMPc), 5AMP, 5ADP, 5ATP and adenosine act as non-competitive inhibitors. These results, together with results of semiempirical self-consistent field-molecular orbitals calculations, suggest that the 2-phosphate group is crucial for the nucleotide binding to the enzyme, whereas the charge density on the C4 atom of the pyridine ring is the major factor that governs the coenzyme activity.Abbreviations NADP+

as a carbon source for photosynthesis, and Lomentaria articulata, which is dependent on diffusive uptake of dissolved CO2, were grown under constant light and light with sunflecks designed to model wave-induced fluctuations of near-shore underwater light. Both species exhibited significantly increased stable carbon isotope discrimination (more negative values of 13C relative to PDB) when grown with sunflecks. More negative 13C values were associated with decreased growth rate of P. palmata but not of L. articulata. The contrasting effects of sunflecks on the carbon-use characteristics of the two species are discussed in terms of the energetic cost of HCO

The signal-transduction system that mediates the melanosome-aggregating response in melanophores of the black-moor goldfish, Carassius auratus, was investigated by examining the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity mediated by -adrenoceptors in cultured cells. When the melanophores were incubated with 1 mmol·l-1 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine for 5 min, the intracellular level of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate increased two- to three-fold. Norepinephrine at 100 nmol·l-1 and naphazoline at 1 mol·l-1 inhibited the 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine-induced accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate in the cells in both the presence and the absence of isoproterenol, a -adrenergic agonist. Methoxamine and phenylephrine also reduced the extent of accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate, but only when they were present at relatively high concentrations (above 100 mol·l-1). The range of concentrations at which norepinephrine inhibited the accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate was consistent with the range at which it induced the aggregation of melanosomes. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (1 g·ml-1) for 15 h or treatment with 100 nmol·l-1 yohimbine (an 2-adrenergic antagonist) inhibited the effects of the -adrenergic agonists on both the aggregation of melanosomes and the 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine-induced accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate, but prazosin (an 1adrenergic antagonist) at 100 nmol·l-1 was not inhibitory. These results indicate that the melanosome-aggregating response of the goldfish melanophore is induced mainly via inhibition of the activity of adenylate cyclase, which occurs as result of stimulation of a pathway that involves 1adrenergic and a inhibitory GTP-binding protein.Abbreviations A-kinase

Females of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata, prefer sucrose solutions containing ribonucleotides to sucrose solutions without them. The order of preference for the nucleotides was: 5GMP>GTP>5CMP>5IMP >dGMP>5UMP>5AMP>5XMP=ATP=2 & 3GMP=RP>3AMP.2AMP, guanosine, inosine, adenine and 5TMP produced no significant stimulation. Females sterilized by irradiation showed reduced attraction to 5GMP as compared to non-irradiated females.Optimal molecular configuration for phagostimulation includes: phosphorylation at the 5 position of the ribose, free hydroxyl groups at 2 and 3 on the ribose, and an NH2 group at the 2 position of the aromatic ring of purine.It is proposed that the 5GMP in yeast hydrolyzate can be used as a measure of the suitability of the hydrolyzate as a bait.

The fluorescent calcium-sensitive dye 1-[2-amino-5-(6-carboxyindol-2-yl)-phenoxy]-2-(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (indo-1) was loaded by a transplasmalemma pH gradient into filamentous cells and protoplasts of Mougeotia scalaris, such that most of the indo-1 fluorescence originated from the cytoplasm. Incubation of M. scalaris filaments in ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA)-buffered media (-log [Ca2+] (=pCa) 8 versus pCa 3) caused a consistent and significant decrease in the cytoplasmic free [Ca2+]. Pulses of the fluorescence excitation light (UV-A 365 nm, 0.7 s) caused an increase in cytoplasmic free [Ca2+] in M. scalaris that was nearly independent of the external [Ca2+] and of chloroplast dislocation by centrifugation. This calcium flux, highest in UV-A light, compared with blue or red light, probably resulted from a release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Increased cytoplasmic [Ca2+] may affect the velocity of chloroplast rotation since UV-A-light-mediated chloroplast movement was faster than in blue or red light. Consistently, the calcium ionophore A23187 and the calcium-channel agonist Bay-K8644 both increased the velocity of the red-light-mediated chloroplast rotation. Based on these and other observations, a Ca2+-induced decrease in cytoplasmic viscosity in Mougeotia is presumed to occur.Abbreviations EGTA

Particulate membrane preparations isolated from cambial cells and differentiating and differentiated xylem cells of pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees synthesised [14C]glucans using either guanosine 5-diphosphate (GDP)-D-[U-14C]glucose or uridine 5-diphosphate (UDP)-D-[U-14C]glucose as glycosyl donors. Although these glucans had -(13) and -(14) linkages in an approximate ratio 1:1, the distribution of the linkages in the glucan synthesised from GDP-D-glucose was different from that synthesised from UDP-D-glucose. The synthesis of the mixed -(13) and -(14) glucan from GDP-D-[U-14C]glucose was changed to that of -(14) glucomannan in the presence of increasing concentrations of GDP-D-mannose. The glucan formed from UDP-D-[U-14C]glucose was not affected by any concentration of GDP-D-mannose. The membrane preparations epimerized GDP-D-glucose to GDP-D-mannose; however, the low amount of GDP-D-mannose formed was not incorporated into the polymer becaus the affinity of the synthase for GDP-D-glucose was much greater than that for GDP-D-mannose. The glucan formed from GDP-D-glucose and the glucomannan formed from GDP-D-glucose together with GDP-D-mannose were characterized. The apparent K
m and V
max of the glucan synthase for GDP-D-glucose were 6.38 M and 5.08 M·min-1, respectively. No lipid intermediates were detected during the synthesis of either glucan or glucomannan. The results indicated that an enzyme complex for the formation of the glucomannan was bound to the membrane.Abbreviations GDP

A triple-resonance NMR technique suitable for the determination ofcarbonyl-related couplings in polypeptide systems is introduced. Theapplication of three novel pulse sequences to uniformly13C/15N-enriched proteins yields E.COSY-likemultiplet patterns exhibiting either one of the3J(Ci–1,Hi
), 3J(Ci–1,Ci
) and3J(Ci–1,Ci)coupling constants in the indirectly detected 13Cdimension, depending on the passive spin selected. The experiments aredemonstrated with oxidized flavodoxin from Desulfovibrio vulgaris. On thebasis of the J-values measured and the backbone -angles derived from ahigh-resolution X-ray structure of the protein, the three associated Karplusequations were reparametrized. The root-mean-square differences between theexperimental coupling constants and those predicted by the optimized Karpluscurves are 0.41, 0.33 and 0.32 Hz for3J(Ci–1,Hi
),3J(Ci–1,Ci
) and3J(Ci–1,Ci),respectively. The results are compared with the Karplus parameters previouslypublished for the same couplings. 相似文献

The gene encoding 5 3 exonuclease domain-deleted Tfi DNA polymerase, named 5 3 Exo–
Tfi fragment, from Thermus filiformis was expressed in Escherichia coli under the control of the tac promoter on a high-copy plasmid, pJR. The expressed enzyme was purified 27-fold with a 19% yield and a specific activity of 2621 U mg–1 protein. The 5 3 exonuclease domain of Tfi DNA polymerase was removed without significant effect on enzyme activity and stability. PCR conditions for the 5 3 Exo–
Tfi fragment were more tolerant to the buffer composition as compared to the full-length enzyme. 相似文献

The reaction of the 5-AMP with water soluble carbodiimide (EDAC) in the presence of Na+-montmorillonite 22A results in the formation of 2,5-(pA)2 (18.9%), 3,5-(pA)2 (11%), and AppA (4.8%). When poly(U) is used in place of the clay the product yields are 2,5-(pA)2 (15.5%), 3,5-(pA)2 (3.7%) and AppA (14.9%). The 3,5-cyclic dinucleotide, 3,5-c(pA)2, is also formed when poly(U) is used. AppA is the principal reaction product when neither clay nor poly(U) is present in the reaction mixture. Products which contain the phophodiester bond are formed at different ionic strengths, pH and temperatures using Na+-montmorillonite. Phosphodiester bond formation was not observed when Cu2+-montmorillonite was used or when DISN was used in the place of EDAC. The extent catalysis of phophodiester bond formation varied with the particular clay mineral used. Those Na+-clays which bind 5-AMP more strongly are better catalysts. Cu2+-montmorillonite, which binds 5-AMP strongly, exhibits no catalytic activity. 相似文献

Accumulation of formate to millimolar levels was observed during the growth of Methanobacterium formicicum species on H2–CO2. Hydrogen was also produced during formate metabolism by M. formicicum. The amount of formate accumulated in the medium or the amount H2 released in gas phase was influenced by the bicarbonate concentration. The formate hydrogenlyase system was constitutive but regulated by formate. When methanogenesis was inhibited by addition of 2-bromoethane sulfonate, M. formicicum synthesized formate from H2 plus HCO

or produced H2 from formate to a steady-state level at which point the Gibbs free energy (G) available for formate synthesis or H2 production was approximately -2 to -3 kJ/reaction. Formate conversion to methane was inhibited in the presence of high H2 pressure. The relative rates of conversion of formate and H2 were apparently controlled by the G available for formate synthesis, hydrogen production, methane production from formate and methane production from H2. Results from 14C-tracer tests indicated that a rapid isotopic exchange between HCOO- and HCO

Internal pH (pHi) was determined inEmiliania huxleyi (Lohmann) using the probe 2,7-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5(and-6)carboxyfluoresceinacetoxymethylester (BCEF-AM) and digital imaging microscopy. The probe BCECF-AM was taken up and hydrolysed to the free acid by the cells. A linear relationship was established between pHi and the 490/450 fluorescence ratio of BCECF-AM over the pH range 6.0 to 8.0 using the ionophore nigericin. Two distinct pH domains were identified within the cell, the cytoplasmic domain (approx. pH 7.0) and the chloroplast domain (approx. pH 8.0). The average pHi was 7.29 (±0.11) for cells in the presence of 2 mM HCO

Zn2+ can induce a conformational change of Band 3 with concomitant inhibition of its anion transport activity of human erythrocyte membrane vesicles only from the cytoplasmic side. The Zn2+ inhibition exhibits a dose-dependent manner with an apparent half maximal concentration of 50 M ZnCl2 and can be reversed by 0.5 mM EDTA, but not by 1 mM dithiothreitol. The Zn2+ effect is specific and no similar inhibitory action could be observed by other divalent cations (Cu2+, Mn2+, Mg2+ or Sr2+).Abbreviations DPA
