Summary Linkage data, using the polymorphic markers 52A (DXS51), F9, 4D-8(DXS98), and St14(DXS52), are presented from 14 fragile X pedigrees and from 7 normal pedigrees derived from the collection of the Centre d'Étude du Polymorphisme Humaine. A multipoint linkage analysis indicates that the most probable order of these four loci in normal families is DXS51-F9-DXS98-DXS52. Recombination frequencies ( ) corresponding to maximum LOD scores ( ) were obtained by two-point linkage analysis for a nuber of linkage groups, including: DXS51-F9 ( =5.94, =0.03), F9-DXS98 ( =0.51, =0.26), F9-DXS52 ( =0.84, =0.27), and DXS98-DXS52 ( =0.32, =0.20). A multipoint linkage analysis of these loci, including the fragile X locus, was also performed for the fragile X population and the data support the relative order (DSX51, F9, DXS98)-FRAXA-DXS52. Recombination frequencies and maximum LOD scores, which again were derived from two-point linkage analyses, were obtained for the linkage groups DXS51-F9 ( =9.96, =0) and F9-DXS52 ( =0.07, =0.45), as well as for the groups DXS51-FRAXA ( =2.42, =0.15), F9-FRAXA ( =1.30, =0.18), DXS98-FRAXA ( =0.05 =0.36), and DXS52-FRAXA ( =2.42 =0.15). The linkage data was further tested for the presence of genetic heterogeneity both within and between the fragile X and normal families for the intervals DXS51-F9, F9-DXS52, F9-FRAXA, and DXS52-FRAXA using a modification of the A test. Except for the interval F9-FRAXA (P<0.10) there was no evidence of genetic heterogeneity for each of the various linkage groups examined. The heterogeneity detected for the interval F9-FRAXA, however, was most likely due to one family (Fx-28) that displayed very tight linkage between these two loci.  相似文献

Summary Resting rates of O2 consumption against , exercise endurance times and during recovery from vigorous exercise were measured inSceloporus occidentalis captured near sea level and inS. graciosus captured above 2850 m. Oxygen consumption against was also measured inS. occidentalis captured above 2850 m. When was recorded continuously, as ambient was slowly reduced from 155 Torr, it became directly dependent upon ambient between 110 and 120 Torr. The critical for the high altitude lizards was lower than that for the lowland lizards, which enabled the former to maintain relatively higher 's when ambient was reduced below 120 Torr. The high altitude lizards also had significantly greater endurance when stimulated to exercise at 1600 m ( 130 Torr). Both the higher under hypoxia and the greater endurance roughly parallel a significantly greater maximum in the high altitude lizards. At a simulated altitude of 3600 m ( 100 Torr), maximum and rate of recovery of the O2 debt calculated from post active were significantly reduced in the lowland but not the high altitude lizards. The effects of simulated altitude conditions on the lowland but not the mountaine animals indicate adaptations to altitude in these sceloporine lizards. We did not find any consistent relationship between organ/body weight ratios or hematocrit and our measures of endurance or the altitude at which the lizards were captured.  相似文献

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder of unknown pathogenesis, characterized by recurrent, selflimited attacks of fever with synovitis, peritonitis, or pleurisy. Using DNAs from affected Israeli families, we have recently mapped the gene causing FMF (designated MEF) to the short arm of chromosome 16, with two-point lod scores in excess of 20. In this report we consider the possibility of a second FMF susceptibility locus. Before discovering linkage to markers on chromosome 16, we had found suggestive evidence for linkage to chromosome 17q, with the following maximal two-point lod scores: D17S74 (pCMM86), = 2.47, ( = 0.20); D17S40 (pLEW101), = 2.15( = 0.15); D17S35 (CRI-pP3-1), = 1.78 ( = 0.15); D17S46 (pLEW108), = 1.69 ( = 0.18), D17S254, = 2.30 ( = 0.20). Moreover, multipoint linkage analysis using D17S74 and D17S40 as fixed loci gave = 3.27 approximately 10 centimorgans (cM) telomeric to D17S40. Data with the chromosome 17 markers alone in our families suggested locus heterogeneity. Nevertheless, our families were not separable into complementary subsets showing linkage either to chromosome 16 or to chromosome 17. We also examined the possibility that the positive lod scores for chromosome 17 might reflect a secondary, modifying locus. By several measures of disease severity, families with positive lod scores for chromosome 17 loci had no worse disease than those with negative lod scores for these loci. We conclude that chromosome 17 does not encode a major FMF susceptibility gene for some of the families, nor does it encode a disease-modifying gene. Rather, it would appear that linkage to chromosome 17 is a false positive (type I) error. These results reemphasize the fact that a lod score of 3.0 corresponds to a posterior probability of linkage of 95%, with an attendant 1 in 20 chance of observing a false positive.  相似文献

Comparison with existing sequence information fromEscherichia coli andPhotobacterium phosphoreum clarifies the amount of diversity among the bioluminescent bacteria and provides further insight into their phylogenetic position. Sequence heterogeneities were encountered and the importance of these in interpreting 5S rRNA data is discussed.  相似文献

Quasi-elastic laser light scattering has been used to investigate the size and dispersity of synaptosomes and synaptic vesicles isolated from optic lobes of the squid Loligo pealei. Synaptosomal fractions were highly polydisperse ( ) and the mean diameter ( ) ranged from 0.5–2.0 m. Size distribution histograms yielded two major components — smaller particles ( ) and a larger group of particles ( ). The heterogeneity of the synaptosomal particles detected in solution is in agreement with published data obtained using electron microscopy. Purified synaptic vesicle fractions also yielded complex particle size distribution data. A component with a mean diameter in the range 150–250 nm was detected, though a smaller particle ( ) dominated the scattering signal. This smaller particle closely resembles in size the electron lucent vesicles seen in the majority of squid optic lobe nerve terminals when examined by electron microscopy. Osmotically-induced shirnkage and swelling of the synptosomes was detected. Depolarization by veratridine (1.0×10–4 M) did not result in a detectable change in the size of synaptosomal particles.  相似文献

Summary The resting oxygen consumption and breathing pattern of nine newborn and adult species (ranging in body size from mouse to human) have been compared on the basis of data collected from the literature. Minute ventilation is similarly linked to at both ages, the percent of extracted as O2 about 2.2. Tidal volume/kg is an interspecies constant in newborns and adults, approximately 8 ml/kg. Breathing frequency decreases with the increase in size in a different way at the two ages: large species have newborns breathing at rates 2–3 times above the corresponding adults' values, while in the small species newborns and adults breathe at almost the same rate. Therefore the newborns of the smallest species have both and below the expected values, implying a greater inability to cope with the external demands than newborns of larger species. Several considerations indicate that in the smallest newborns the mechanical properties of the respiratory system could be a constraint to resting ventilations larger than observed. It is therefore possible that their low is the cause, and not the effect, of the relatively small .  相似文献

Summary The rate of oxygen consumption ( ) by skeletal muscle was investigated in isolated perfused hindlimbs of laboratory rats and lemmings (Lemmus). In both species, increased in proportion to blood flow rate, even at flow rates 4–5 times above resting level. The slope of the line relating to skeletal muscle blood flow was significantly greater in the lemming than in the rat. This may be related to the inverse relationship between body weight and metabolic rate. These data support the hypothesis that in small animals a dependent relationship exists between blood flow and skeletal muscle .  相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship between the rapidity of increased gas exchange (i.e. oxygen uptake ) and increased cardiac output ( ) during the transient phase following the onset of exercise. Five healthy male subjects performed multiple rest-exercise or light exercise (25 W)-exercise transitions on an electrically braked ergometer at exercise intensities of 50, 75, or 100 W for 6 min, respectively. Each transition was performed at least eight times for each load in random order. The was obtained by a breath-by-breath method, and was measured by an impedance method during normal breathing, using an ensemble average. On transitions from rest to exercise, rapidly increased during phase I with time constants of 6.8–7.3 s. The also showed a similar rapid increment with time constants of 6.0–6.8 s with an apparent increase in stroke volume (SV). In this phase I, increased to about 29.7%–34.1% of the steady-state value and increased to about 58.3%–87.0%. Thereafter, some 20 s after the onset of exercise a mono-exponential increase to steady-state occurred both in and with time constants of 26.7–32.3 and 23.7–34.4 s, respectively. The insignificant difference between and time constants in phase I and the abrupt increase in both and SV at the onset of exercise from rest provided further evidence for a cardiodynamic contribution to following the onset of exercise from rest.  相似文献

The position of the body and use of the respiratory muscles in the act of rowing may limit ventilation and thereby reduce maximal aerobic power relative to that achieved in cycling or running, in spite of the greater muscle mass involved in rowing. This hypothesis was investigated for three groups of male subjects: nine elite senior oarsmen, eight former senior oarsmen and eight highly trained athletes unskilled in rowing. The subjects performed graded exercise to maximal effort on a rowing ergometer, cycle ergometer and treadmill while respiratory minute volume and oxygen consumption were monitored continuously. The VE at a given during intense submaximal exercise (greater than 75% of maximal ) was not significantly lower in rowing compared with that in cycling and treadmill running for any group, which would suggest that submaximal rowing does not restrict ventilation. At maximal effort, and for rowing were less than those for the other types of exercise in all the groups, although the differences were not statistically significant in the elite oarsmen. These data are consistent with a ventilatory limitation to maximal performance in rowing that may have been partly overcome by training in the elite oarsmen. Alternatively, a lower maximal VE in rowing might have been an effect rather than a cause of a lower maximal if maximal was limited by the lower rate of muscle activation in rowing.  相似文献

A small catchment on the Swedish West Coast has been studied over four years to determine S dynamics by using S isotope ratios. A Norway spruce dominated forest covers the catchment, and small peat areas occur in the lower parts of the catchment. The runoff values varied both during the year, and from year to year. Over the period from February 1990 to December 1993, the values ranged from — 1%. to +11%. Over the same period, the throughfall values ranged from +1%. to +15%. There was no correlation (r 2= 0.01; Pr(F)=0.57) between values in throughfall and runoff. Since the only input of S to the catchment is atmospheric deposition, the long-term runoff S mass flux is controlled by the deposition. Therefore, processes in the catchment are responsible for the variation in the runoff values. During periods with enriched runoff, bacterial dissimilatory SO 4 2– reduction occurs in the catchment. After very dry periods, oxidation of this reduced S, which is32S-enriched, can be traced in runoff. Previous studies of the catchment have not been able to distinguish between: 1) oxidation of reduced S and dry deposition, and 2) reduction and adsorption. From the current study, it can be concluded that adsorption and dry deposition cannot cause the observed variation in runoff .  相似文献

Summary Six Standardbred horses were used to evaluate the time course of pulmonary gas exchange, ventilation, heart rate (HR) and acid base balance during different intensities of constant-load treadmill exercise. Horses were exercised at approximately 50%, 75% and 100% maximum oxygen uptake ( max) for 5 min and measurements taken every 30 s throughout exercise. At all work rates, the minute ventilation, respiratory frequency and tidal volume reached steady state values by 60 s of exercise. At 100% max, the oxygen consumption ( ) increased to mean values of approximately 130 ml/kg·min, which represents a 40-fold increase above resting . At the low and moderate work rates, showed no significant change from 30 s to 300 s of exercise. At the high work rate, the mean at 30 s was 80% of the value at 300 s. The HR showed no significant change over time at the moderate work rate but differing responses at the low and high work rates. At the low work rate, the mean HR decreased from 188 beats/min at 30 s to 172 beats/min at 300 s exercise, whereas at the high work rate the mean HR increased from 204 beats/min at 30 s to 221 beats/min at 300 s exercise. No changes in acid base status occurred during exercise at the low work rate. At the moderate work rate, a mild metabolic acidosis occurred which was nonprogressive with time, whereas the high work rate resulted in a progressive metabolic acidosis with a base deficit of 16 mmol/l by 300 s exercise. It is concluded that the kinetics of gas exchange during exercise are more rapid in the horse than in man, despite the relatively greater change in in the horse when going from rest to high intensity exercise.Symbols and abbreviations E minute ventilation - V T tidal volume - oxygen uptake - carbon dioxide output - oxygen pulse - ventilatory equivalent for oxygen - ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide - R respiratory exchange ratio - HR heart rate - SBC standard bicarbonate - STPD standard temperature and pressure dry - BTPS body temperature and pressure saturated - arterial oxygen content - arteriovenous oxygen content difference - Rf respiratory frequency  相似文献

Summary The resting membrane potential data existing in the literature for the giant axon of the squid, frog muscle and barnacle muscle have been analyzed from the standpoint of the theory of membrane potential due to Kobatake and co-workers. The average values derived for the effective charge density (where is a constant, , and represents the fraction of counterions that are free, and is the stoichiometric charge density in the membrane) present on the different biomembranes existing in their normal ionic environment are 0.3, 0.325 and 0.17 M for the squid axon, frog and barnacle muscles, respectively. On the assumption that the values of are 0.4 and 0.2 for nerve and muscle membranes, respectively, values of 0.75, 1.62 and 0.85 M have been derived for the stoichiometric charge density present in the respective biological membranes. These correspond to 1 negative charge per 222, 103 and 195 Å of the membrane area of the squid axon, frog and barnacle muscles, respectively.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to measure running times to exhaustion (Tlim) on a treadmill at 100% of the minimum velocity which elicits max max in 38 elite male long - distance runners max = 71.4 ± 5.5 ml.kg–1.min–1 and max = 21.8 ± 1.2 km.h–1). The lactate threshold (LT) was defined as a starting point of accelerated lactate accumulation around 4 mM and was expressed in max. Tlim value was negatively correlated with max (r = -0.362, p< 0.05) and max (r = –0.347, p< 0.05) but positively with LT (%v max) (r = 0.378, p < 0.05). These data demonstrate that running time to exhaustion at max in a homogeneous group of elite male long-distance runners was inversely related to max and experimentally illustrates the model of Monod and Scherrer regarding the time limit-velocity relationship adapted from local exercise for running by Hughson et al. (1984) .  相似文献

Summary A simple heteronuclear relayed E.COSY pulse sequence with a minimum number of pulses is proposed for the quantitative determination of heteronuclear three-bond J-coupling constants in uniformly 13C-enriched polypeptide samples. Numerous heteronuclear three-bond coupling constants, including , , , and , can be determined for each residue from a single heteronuclear relayed E.COSY spectrum. Couplings relevant for stereospecific assignments as well as for the determination of dihedral angles in the amino acid backbone and in side chains are obtained. The method is demonstrated on the uniformly 13C-enriched decapeptide antamanide (-Val1-Pro2-Pro3-Ala4-Phe5-Phe6-Pro7-Pro8-Phe9-Phe10-).  相似文献

Summary Two data sets are analyzed for linkage between the PTC and Kell blood group loci. The original report of close linkage for these loci was that of Conneally et al. (1976), where the maximum likelihood estimate of was 0.05. These two new data sets give a combined maximum likelihood estimate of m=f =0.28. Estimating the recombination frequency for the sexes separately gave m =0.29, f =0.23. The combined maximum likelihood estimate over all published data sets including this report is m=f =0.14, max=8.94. There is statistically significant evidence of heterogeneity among the published studies.  相似文献

Altitudinal and seasonal effects on aerobic metabolism of deer mice   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
Summary I compared the maximal aerobic metabolic rates ( ), field metabolic rates (FMR), aerobic reserves ( -FMR), and basal metabolic rates (BMR) of wild and recently captured deer mice from low (440 m) and high (3800 m) altitudes. To separate the effects of the thermal environment from other altitudinal effects, I examined mice from different altitudes, but similar thermal environments (i.e., summer mice from high altitude and winter mice from low altitude). When the thermal environment was similar, , FMR, and aerobic reserve of low and high altitude mice did not differ, but BMR was significantly higher at high altitude. Thus, in the absence of thermal differences, altitude had only minor effects on the aerobic metabolism of wild or recently captured deer mice.At low altitude, there was significant seasonal variation in , FMR, and aerobic reserve, but not BMR. BMR was correlated with , but not with FMR. The significant positive correlation of BMR with indicates a cost of high , because higher BMR increases food requirements and energy use during periods of thermoneutral conditions.Abbreviations BMR basal metabolic rate - FMR field metabolic rate - partial pressure of oxygen - T a ambient temperature - T b body temperature - T e operative temperature - maximal aerobic metabolic rate  相似文献

Summary Outcrossing rate estimates for eight accessions of Clarkia tembloriensis indicate that this annual plant species has a wide interpopulational range of outcrossing rate ( ). Populations' t estimates were significantly correlated with observed heterozygosity and mean number of alleles per locus. Estimated fixation indices, , for most populations were very close to their expected values, Feq, for a given Nei's gene diversity statistics showed that the group of outcrossing populations have more total genetic variation and less differentiation among populations than does the group of selfing populations. These results indicate that the breeding system of C. tembloriensis has had a strong influence on the amount and distribution of genetic variation within and among its populations.  相似文献

An analytical model is developed to describe the performance of a packed-bed immobilized enzyme reactor in which parallel processes take place. In particular, two-substrate reaction, inhibition of the enzyme by one of the reaction products, and binding of one substrate and/or one product to an added ligand are taken into account. In addition, substrates and product diffusion into the porous catalyst are also considered. Using this model, numerical simulations were performed. The results point to the fact that, when all the above processes occur concomitantly, a variety of performance characteristics can be obtained, depending on the particular values of the related parameters. Moreover, under certain conditions, the reactor performance can be improved by controlled addition of ligand.List of Symbols A total concentration of ligand - C 1,i concentration of Substrate-1 in the pores of stage i - C 2,i concentration of Substrate-2 in its free form in the pores of stage i - 2,i concentration of the Substrate-2-Ligand Complex in the pores of stage i - total concentration of Substrate-2 in the pores of stage i - i concentration of the Product-Ligand Complex in the pores of stage i - concentration of the free Product in the pores of stage i - total concentration of the Product in the pores of stage i - internal (pore) diffusion coefficient for the Substrate-Ligand Complex - D 1 internal (pore) diffusion coefficient of Substrate-1 - D 2 internal (pore) diffusion coefficient of Substrate-2 - effective (pore) diffusion coefficient for Substrate-2 - internal (pore) diffusion coefficient for the Product - internal (pore) diffusion coefficient for the Product-Ligand Complex - effective (pore) diffusion coefficient for the Product - K thermodynamic equilibrium constant for binding Substrate-2 to Ligand - K m,1,K m,2 Michaelis constants for Substrates-1 and 2, respectively - effective Michaelis constant for Substrate-2 - K p thermodynamic equilibrium constant for binding the reaction Product to Ligand - effective equilibrium constant for binding Substrate-2 to Ligand - effective equilibrium constant for binding the reaction Product to Ligand. - K b inhibition constant - K q inhibition constant - effective inhibition constant - effective inhibition constant - k a, k d association and dissociation rate constants for Substrate-2 — Ligand complex - association and dissociation constants for Product —Ligand complex - n total number of elementary stages in the reactor - Q volumetric flow rate throughout the reactor - R j,i reaction rate of Substrate-j in stage i, in terms of volumetric units - S 1,0 concentration of Substrate-1 in the reactor feed - total concentration of Substrate-2 in the reactor feed - S 1,i–1,S 1,i concentration of Substrate-1 in the bulk phase leaving stages i–1 and i, respectively - S 2,i concentration of Substrate-2 in its free form, in the bulk phase leaving stage i - 2,i–1, 2,i concentration of Substrate-2 in the bulk phase leaving stage i–1 and i, respectively - total concentration of Substrate-2 in the bulk phase leaving stages i–1 and i, respectively - i concentration of the Product-Ligand Complex in the bulk phase of stage i - concentration of free Product in the bulk phase of stage i - total concentration of Product in the bulk phase of stage i - V total volume of the reactor - V m maximal reaction rate in terms of volumetric units - y axial coordinate of the pores - y 0 depth of the pores Greek Symbols 1 dimensionless parameter - dimensionless parameter - dimensionless parameter - 1 dimensionless parameter - dimensionless parameter - 1,i dimensionless concentration of Substrate-1 in pores of stage i - dimensionless total concentration of Substrate-2 (in both free and bound form) in pores of stage i - dimensionless total concentration of the reaction product in the pores of stage i - 1 dimensionless parameter - dimensionless parameter - dimensionless parameter - dimensionless parameter - dimensionless parameter - dimensionless position along the pore - volumetric packing density of catalytic particles (dimensionless) - porosity of the catalytic particles (dimensionless) - 1,i dimensionless concentration of Substrate-1 in the bulk phase of stage i - dimensionless total concentration of Substrate-2 (in both free and bound form) in the bulk phase of stage i  相似文献

The electrophoretic variability of nine enzymatic loci was studied in 31 populations of eleven species of the genus Orchis (fam. Orchidaceae). This orchid group shows a higher degree of genetic variability ( ) than reported by Gottlieb (Progr. Phytochem. 7:1–46, 1981) for other outbreeding plant species ( ).Furthermore, the Nei coefficients of genetic identity show a higher biochemical-genetic similarity between species pairs of which we found the hybrids ( ) than between other species pairs ( ). These results seem to indicate a correlation between hybridizing aptitude and degree of genetic similarity. High values could be partially attributed to the presence of a gene flow between two species which, by hybridizing, would join their genetic pools. But they could also indicate that hybridizing species are not well differentiated: the isozyme similarity would reflect a more general similarity of the gene pool that could lead to hybrid formation.  相似文献
