Deletions in the argD, crp, cysG genes (73-74 min of the Escherichia coli genetic map) were obtained by heat induction of the phage lambda c1857 b221 rex::Tn5 integrated previously into the cysG gene by homologous recombination in the cysG::Tn5 mutant. Properties of the deletions obtained suggest the gene order: argD-crp-cysG. 相似文献

Two sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) mutants with high concentrations of saturated fatty acids in their seed oil have been identified and studied extensively.
The mutant line CAS-5 has high concentrations of palmitic acid (C16:0) (>25% compared with 7% in standard sunflower seed oil)
and low-C18:0 values (3%). CAS-3 is characterized by its high levels of stearic acid (C18:0) (>22% compared with 4% in standard
sunflower seed oil) and a low-C16:0 content (5%). CAS-5 also possesses elevated levels of palmitoleic acid (C16:1) (>5%),
which is absent in standard sunflower seed oil. The objective of this study was to determine the relationships between the
loci controlling the high-C16:0 and the high-C18:0 traits in these mutants. Plants of both mutants were reciprocally crossed.
Gas chromatographic analyses of fatty acids from the seed oil of F 1, F 2, F 3 and the BC 1F 1 to CAS-5 generations indicated that the loci controlling the high-C16:0 trait exerted an epistatic effect over the loci responsible
for the high-C18:0 character. As a result, the phenotypic combination containing both the high-C16:0 levels of CAS-5 and the
high-C18:0 levels of CAS-3 was not possible. However, phenotypes with a saturated fatty acid content of 44% (34.5% C16:0+9.5%
C18:0) were identified in the F 3 generation. These are the highest saturated (C16:0 and C18:0) levels reported so far in sunflower seed oil. When F 3 C16:0 segregating generations in both a high- and a low-C18:0 background were compared, the high-C16:1 levels were not expressed
as expected in the high-C18:0 background (CAS-3 background). In this case, the C16:1 content decreased to values below 1.5%,
compared with >5% in a low-C18:0 background. As the stearoyl-ACP desaturase has been reported to catalyze the desaturation
from C16:0-ACP to C16:1-ACP, these results suggested that a decrease in its activity was involved in the accumulation of C18:0
in the high-C18:0 mutant CAS-3.

Paraglucocorticoid- and paramineralocorticoid-binding cytosolic receptors (pGR, pMR) were demonstrated in the intestine and kidney of the frog, Rana catesbeiana and in the intestine of the turtle, Chrysemys picta, in the presence of sodium molybdate. These receptors were of high affinity and low capacity with the following binding parameters: pGR:Kd:frog intestine (FI), triamcinolone acetonide (TA): 3.3 nM, corticosterone (B): 3.4 nM; frog kidney (FK), TA:4.3 nM, B: 9.3 nM; turtle intestine (TI), TA: 4.8 nM; Nmax: FI, TA: 357, B: 371; FK, TA: 301, B: 157; TI, TA: 350 fmol/mg protein. pMR:Kd: FI, aldosterone: 0.9 and 90 nM (biphasic curves); FK, aldosterone: 0.6 and 36 nM (biphasic curves); Nmax: FI, 13 and 147 fmol/mg protein; FK, 78 and 109 fmol/mg protein. The receptor had the following ligand affinities: pGR: FI and FK: triamcinolone acetonide greater than DOC greater than 11 beta-hydroxyprogesterone greater than progesterone greater than corticosterone greater than cortisol greater than aldosterone greater than 11-dehydrocorticosterone greater than 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone greater than cortisone; TI: triamcinolone acetonide greater than corticosterone greater than progesterone greater than DOC greater than cortisol greater than aldosterone; pMR: FI and FK: corticosterone greater than 11 beta-hydroxyprogesterone greater than aldosterone greater than triamcinoline acetonide = cortisol greater than DOC greater than 11-dehydrocorticosterone greater than progesterone greater than 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone greater than cortisone. Androgens, estrogens or 18-hydroxycorticosterone did not compete for binding in either tissue. The heat activated frog receptors did not bind to naked DNA, though the turtle receptor did. It was possible to show that cytosol receptor-ligand complexes from all tissues were bound by nuclear acceptor sites. On linear sucrose gradients, the FI TA-receptor complex sediments with a single peak (7.5S), the FK TA-receptor complex gave two peaks (8.0 and 4.4S) and the TI TA-receptor complex showed a single peak (9.0S). The hydrodynamic parameters of the pGR's were determined by gel exclusion on Sephacel S-300. The following results were obtained: Mr: FI, 265, 80, 40 kDa (multiple proteins); FK, 280, 60, 20 kDa (multiple proteins); TI, 366 kDa; Rs: FI, 6.9, 3.9 nm; FK, 6.9, 2.9 nm; TI, 7.6 nm; f/f0: FI, 1.6; FK, 1.6; TI, 1.6. It is suggested on the basis of the binding and hydrodynamic parameters that non-mammalian epithelia corticosterone receptors have undergone biochemical evolution from one class of vertebrates to another. 相似文献

The four major sulfolipids in the non-photosynthetic marine diatom, Nitzschia alba, were isolated in pure form and their structures were established spectrometrically and by identification of their hydrolysis products as (a) 24-methylene cholesterol sulfate, (b) 1-deoxyceramide-1-sulfonate, (c) phosphatidyl sulfocholine (a sulfonium analogue of phosphatidylcholine) and (d) sulfoquinovosyl diglyceride. The major characteristic fatty acids of the sulfolipids were: for the deoxyceramide sulfonate, 16 : 0 (26%) and 16 : 1-delta3-trans (64%); for the sulfonium analogue, 14 : 0 (30%), 18 : 1 (12%), 18 : 2 (8%), 20 : 5 (27%) and 22 : 6 (4%); and for the sulfoquinovosyl diglyceride (two species, respectively), 14 : 0 (9%, 22%), 16 : 0 (16%, 28%), 18 : 1 (8%, 22%), 20 : 5 (42%, 23%) and 22 : 6 (14%, 2%). Traces of lyso-derivatives of sulfoquinovosyl diglyceride and phosphatidyl sulfocholine were also detected. The deoxyceramide sulfonate and the phosphatidyl sulfocholine represent novel membrane lipid components not previously detected in other organisms. They may however have a widespread distribution in marine diatoms and perhaps in marine organisms generally. 相似文献

KB cells were grown in suspension culture and synchronized with a double thymidine block. Cells were removed at various times during the cell cycle and analyzed for sialic acid, fucose, mannose and galactose. The mannose, galactose, and fucose contents of the cells all showed a decrease during the mitotic phase. The content of sialic acid decreased, but later in the cycle. When the cell was not dividing the molar rations of sialic acid to fucose: mannose: galactose were approximately 2:5:3 when sialic acid was expressed as 1; the ratios dropped to approximately 1:3:1.5 throughout division. These results indicate that the glycoprotein and/or glycolipid contents of KB cells probably change throughout the cell cycle. 相似文献

A method for the analysis of spatial pattern using quadrats of different sizes is developed on the basis of the relationship of mean crowding () to mean density ( m). The -on- m regression obtained by successive changes in quadrat size in a single population (unit-size relation) shows a characteristic pattern according to the type of distribution. By aid of the ρ-index proposed here, we can distinguish the random, aggregated and uniform distributions of the basic components (individual or group of individuals). The ρ serves as an index of spatial correlation between neighbouring quadrats, and it also provides information on the approximate area occupied by clump (colony), distribution pattern of individuals within clumps, and possibly the distribution pattern of clumps themselves. Even in a specified type of distribution, the unit-size relation is not necessarily identical with the relation for a series of populations at a particular quadrat size (series relation). The changes in the series relationship with successive changes of quadrat sizes are also considered for some basic patterns of distributions. The combined use of the unit-size and the series relations for a set of populations of the species under study may provide a satisfactory picture of the spatial pattern characteristic of the species. Application of the method is illustrated by using distribution data of several species of animals and plants. The advantage of the present method over other methods are discussed, and the formulae for determining the optimum quadrat unit in sampling surveys are given. 相似文献

Capsule: Playback is effective at improving detectability of Little Owls. Aims: To trial a playback survey methodology for Little Owls in the UK to determine detectability and practicalities which could inform potential future national monitoring efforts. Methods: Nocturnal playback surveys were carried out in an open landscape in the east of England in spring 2015. Twelve 2?×?2?km survey squares were each visited four times. Little Owl calls were broadcast from three locations within each square along a linear transect and spaced 500 m apart. The responses of owls of any species were recorded. Little Owl occupancy was later confirmed through existing nest monitoring efforts. Results: Little Owls were detected responding to playback in all survey squares and were confirmed to be breeding in 8 of the 12. Detection and response rates were greater when combining data from multiple broadcast locations. The likelihood of Little Owls responding decreased with greater distance of broadcast location to known nest site, but no relationships were identified with time of evening or the presence of other owl species. Conclusion: Playback methodology proved to be effective at increasing detectability of Little Owls and this study provides an estimated response rate to inform future efforts. 相似文献

The chloroplast signal recognition particle (cpSRP) and its receptor, cpFtsY, posttranslationally target the nuclear-encoded light-harvesting chlorophyll-binding proteins (LHCPs) to the translocase Alb3 in the thylakoid membrane. In this study, we analyzed the interplay between the cpSRP pathway components, the substrate protein LHCP and the translocase Alb3 by using in vivo and in vitro techniques. We propose that cpSRP43 is crucial for the binding of LHCP-loaded cpSRP and cpFtsY to Alb3. In addition, our data suggest that a direct interaction between Alb3 and LHCP contributes to the formation of this complex.

1. Although single cones and double cones in the chicken retina had been documented for more than 30 years, the exact morphology of these cells had never been studied by the scanning electronmicroscopy. In this brief report, we present the evidence for the first time the existence of two types of single cones and three types of double cones (termed as types A, B, and C), each with distinct morphology.2. The proportion of type A:type B:type C double cones, as estimated from the midperipheral and central regions of our scanning specimens, was about 30%:50%:20%.3. Based on the literature data that red oil droplets reside in single cones and yellow oil droplets in chief cones of the double cones, the proportion of single to double cones was deciphered and the relative proportion was estimated to be 1:0.91 in the central region, 1:0.92 in the midperiphery, and 1:0.84 in the periphery. 相似文献

The green sulfur photosynthetic bacterium Chlorobaculum (Cba.) tepidum (previously known as Chlorobium tepidum), which grows at an optimal temperature of around 45 °C, biosynthesized unique disaccharide rhamnosylgalactosyldiacylglyceride (RGDG) having a methylene-bridged palmitoleyl (17:Cyc) and a palmitoyl group (16:0) as the two acyl chains in a molecule [RGDG(17:Cyc,16:0)], together with the corresponding monosaccharide monogalactosyldiacylglyceride (MGDG). Here, we report changes in the structure and composition of the glycolipids that are dependent upon the temperature and period of cultivation. With a decrease in temperature to 25 °C, the two major glycolipids were almost completely eliminated, and MGDG with a palmitoleyl (16:1) and a (16:0) group concomitantly became the major glycolipid. MGDG(16:1,16:0) corresponded to the removal of an α-rhamnosyl and a cyclopropyl methylene group from RGDG(17:Cyc,16:0) and the lack of the CH(2) group in MGDG(17:Cyc,16:0). The structural conversion was almost reversible when the Cba. tepidum adapted to low and high temperatures was cultured again at 45 and 25 °C, respectively. Moreover, during this cultivation, the structure and composition of glycolipids were sequentially changed: MGDG(16:1,16:0), MGDG(17:Cyc,16:0), and RGDG(17:Cyc,16:0) predominated in the exponential, stationary and late phases of the cultivation, respectively. On the basis of these time-dependent changes, the unique disaccharide RGDG(17:Cyc,16:0) was thought to be created by the site-specific transfer of an α-rhamnosyl group to MGDG(17:Cyc,16:0) after insertion of a methylene group into the precursor MGDG(16:1,16:0). These culturing temperature- and time-dependent changes in glycolipids at the molecular level allow us to discuss their biosynthesis as well as physiological function in green photosynthetic bacteria. 相似文献

The rates of 3H-norepinephrine ( 3H-NE) uptake into isolated nuclei-free homogenates from diencephalon were examined in freely cycling female rats of all phases of the estrous cycle. Four time points were investigated in each phase: 12:00, 14:00, 16:00 and 18:00 h. The proestrus and estrus animals displayed no change in uptake rates across the four time points. However, the metestrus and diestrus groups were found to undergo hour to hour variations in uptake rates. In the diestrus group, a significant rise in uptake of 22% was observed from 12:00 to 16:00 h. This increase was followed by a decrease of 21% by 18:00 h as compared to 16:00 h levels. Similarly, a slight increase in uptake was observed in the metustrus animals from 12:00 to 16:00 h. At 18:00 h a 40% decrease from the 16:00 h value was observed. An average of the mean levels of uptake of all phases was calculated for each time point. At 16:00 h an increase in the mean uptake of about 20% was observed when compared to either the 12:00 or the 18:00 h values. Since transmitter reuotake is the major means of terminating receptor activation or inhibition, it is suggested that the above variations in NE uptake may modulate synaptic activity and play a role in the regulation of behavioral and physiological aspects of the estrous cycle. 相似文献

The cloning and nucleotide sequence of the genes (idi, crtE, crtYB, crtl and crtS) controlling the astaxanthin biosynthesis pathway of the wild-type ATCC 24230 strain of Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous in their genomic and cDNA version were obtained. The idi, crtE, crtYB, crtl and crtS genes were cloned, as fragments of 10.9, 11.5, 15.8, 5.9 and 4 kb respectively. The nucleotide sequence data analysis indicates that the idi, crtE, crtYB, crtl and crtS genes have 4, 8,4, 11, and 17 introns and 5, 9, 5, 12 and 18 exons respectively. In addition, a highly efficient site-directed mutagenesis system was developed by transformation by integration, followed by mitotic recombination (the double recombinant method). Heterozygote idi (idi+/idi-::hph), crtE (crtE+/crtE-::hph), crtYB (crtYB+/crtYB-::hph), crtI (crtI+/crtI-::hph) and crtS (crtS+/crtS-::hph) and homozygote mutants crtYB (crtYB-::hph/crtYB-::hph), crtI (crtI-::hph/crtI-::hph) and crtS (crtS-::hph/crtS-::hph) were constructed. All the heterozygote mutants have a pale phenotype and produce less carotenoids than the wild-type strain. The genetic analysis of the crtYB, crtl and crtS loci in the wild-type, heterozygote, and homozygote give evidence of the diploid constitution of ATCC 24230 strains. In addition, the cloning of a truncated form of the crtYB that lacks 153 amino acids of the N-terminal region derived from alternatively spliced mRNA was obtained. Their heterologous expression in Escherichia coli carrying the carotenogenic cluster of Erwinia uredovora result in trans-complementation and give evidence of its functionality in this bacterium, maintaining its phytoene synthase activity but not the lycopene cyclase activity. 相似文献

Capsule: There were up to 6348 Ring Ouzel territories in the UK in 2012. Aims: To produce estimates of the size of the Ring Ouzel breeding population in the UK and its constituent countries. Methods: A stratified random selection of tetrads was surveyed within the known breeding range, except for the remaining breeding areas on Dartmoor and historical sites elsewhere, which were surveyed in their entirety. The methods followed those devised for the first UK-wide survey in 1999, using playback of song at specific points along tetrad transect lines. Results: The UK population estimate in 2012 was 5332 (95% confidence limits (CL), 4096–6875) territories, a non-significant decline of 29% since 1999. There were no significant differences in the population changes in England, Scotland and Wales between the two surveys. An estimation of survey efficiency found that 84% of territories were located by the national survey methods, suggesting that the UK population in 2012 could have been as many as 6348 (95% CL, 4825–8198) territories. Conclusion: The results suggest that the UK Ring Ouzel population has continued to decline since 1999. Ongoing and future research should determine where the main threats to the population are: on the breeding or wintering grounds, or during migration. 相似文献
