The influence of the gene Pr on flavonoid 3-hydroxylase activity in maize is described. Specific activities are presented for the hydroxylase in seedlings and aleurone tissue homozygous dominant and recessive and heterozygous for Pr. Specific activity levels in both tissues increased in a nearly direct proportion with the increase in Pr dosage, which is consistent with Pr being the structural gene for the hydroxylase. Regression analysis of the gene dosage:enzyme activity comparison yielded correlation coefficients of 0.979 and 0.959 for the seedlings and aleurone, respectively. Quantitative identification of the cyanidin and pelargonidin in the aleurone indicated that cyanidin increased with an increase in dominant Pr, while pelargonidin decreased, although the increases and decreases observed were not directly proportional to the gene dosage. Comparison of the cyanidin/pelargonidin ratio to the gene dosage ratio in the different tissues showed a strong correlation (0.998), which demonstrates that the dosage of Pr controls the ratio of cyanidin to pelargonidin. Cyanidin was found at a low concentration in aleurone homozygous for pr. Hydroxylase activity in maturing field plants reaches its peak concentration near anthesis and is present at an appreciable concentration in mature plant tissue homozygous for pr, as well as in seedlings homozygous for pr. Suggestion is made that pr could be a hypomorphic allele or that a duplicate gene for Pr could exist to account for the hydroxylase activity in homozygous pr tissue. Evidence for the hydroxylase in the aleurone and the seedlings and the pigment ratio data from the aleurone suggest that Pr is indeed a structural gene for NADPH:flavonoid 3-hydroxylase.Cooperative Investigations, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, and Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, Columbia, Missouri 65211.

Synthetic activity and existence of ppGpp and pppApp in an anthracycline-producing strain Streptomyces galilaeus were determined by radioimmunoassay and 32P-labeling method during cultivation under both the antibiotic productive and non-productive conditions. The cellular ppGpp(pppGpp)-synthesizing activity was highest at the end of exponential growth, and 3-fold higher in the antibiotic-productive cultivation than in non-productive cultivation. The intracellular level of ppGpp determined by radioimmunoassay was high at the end of exponential growth, and afterwards its level decreased by one fifth. The low level of cellular ppGpp during the period of intense antibiotic production suggests that ppGpp consumption may play an important role in antibiotic production of S. galilaeus. The concentration of pppApp was not determined intracellularly by radioimmunoassay. 相似文献

2′,3′-Cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase (nucleoside-2′:3′-cyclic-phosphate 2′-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.37) activity has been demonstrated in rat liver mitochondria. The enzyme was localized in both the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes but was absent from the intermembrane space and matrix. The mitochondrial (cyclic nucleotide) phosphohydrolase was activated by freezing and thawing and by treatment with digitonin or detergents. It is suggested that (cyclic nucleotide) phosphohydrolase is an integral membrane protein which is buried to a significant degree within the membrane. Atractyloside was found to be a noncompetitive inhibitor of the enzyme both in intact mitochondria and in preparations of the mitochondrial membranes. The enzyme substrate, 2′,3′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate, had no effect on the oxidation of exogenous β-hydroxybutyrate or succinate by intact mitochondria. These findings suggest that 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′phosphohydrolase is more widely distributed than was previously thought and that the enzyme may play a fundamental role in membranes, independent of their specialized structure or functions. 相似文献

Abstract 3′-Amino-3′deoxythymidine is a very effective drug in vivo against L 1210 leukemia. It mives 1441 increase in lifespan with very little drug-induced toricitylil. Therefore, it was attractive to synthesize a large series of cuialogues, but unfortunately, such compounds are only achievable through a 1inear synthesis via the corresponding nucleoside which typically is transformed into the 3′-azido derivative and finally reduced. 相似文献

Abstract Several 3′ splice signals are known todate. At the 3′ splice site an AG doublet is frequently found. Just upstream of the splice site there is a string of 6–11 pyrimidines. More recently it has been found that one of the stages in the splicing process involves formation of a lariat, in which the 5′ end of the intron forms a 2′-5′ branch with an A residue located 18–37 nucleotides upstream of the 3′ splice site. The branching-point consensus is weakly defined and consists of the sequence YNYTRAY, where Y is a pyrimidine, R a purine and N any base. The A in the sixth position is the one with which branching occurs. Here we present the results of extensive searches for additional putative signals around the branching-point consensus and the 3′ splice site in rodent nuclear precursor mRNAs. The signals obtained for the over 370 rodent introns are compared with those found in a larger eukaryotic sample containing over 900 nuclear pre-mRNA introns. Of particular interest are GGGA and CCCA In both analyses GGGA occurs about 60 nucleotides upstream and CCCA is found 3–40 nucleotides downstream from the 3′ splice site. A model explaining some of the putative signals discussed here is also proposed. This model involves formation of alternate stem-loop structures around the branching point and 3′ splice site. Such signals and structures can possibly aid in protein or nucleoprotein branching point and splice site recognition. 相似文献

Abstract A series of 3′-N-substituted 3′-amino-3′-deoxythymidine derivatives with alkyl, alkenyl and alkylaryl substituents was synthesized by two methods. The first method involved the reaction of 1-(2,3-dideoxy-3-0-mesyl-5-0-trityl-β-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)thymine with an appropriate amine. In the second method, 3′-amino-5′-0-trityl-3′-deoxy-thymidine served as a synthetic precursor which was reacted with an appropiate aldehyde or ketone followed by sodium borohydride reduction. An improved synthesis of 3′-amino-3′-deoxythymidine from 3′ -azido-5′-0-trityl-3′-deoxythymidine using sodium borohydride was also described. 相似文献

Summary Sieve tube sap of the secondary phloem of Robinia pesudoacacia L. and exudate from the trumpet hyphae of the cauloids of Laminaria saccharina (L.) Lamour. were analyzed for the occurrence of cyclic adenosine-3:5-monophosphate with the help of the radio isotope dilution test (Boehringer, Mannheim). The concentration was about 0,1 M in the Laminaria exudate and 9,0 nM in the Robinia sap. Pretreatment of the saps with phosphodiesterase removes the activity of the A-3:5-MP. It therefore seems probable that A-3:5-MP occurs in the translocation tissues of plants. 相似文献

CATECHOLAMINES probably influence cell proliferation by delaying cells in the premitotic phase1,2. Bullough and Laurence found that crude skin extracts contained a tissue-specific protein (chalone) which inhibited epidermal cell proliferation and that the action of this extract was augmented by adrenaline3. They later found that adrenaline alone (0.00025 µg/ml.) reduced epidermal mitotic activity in mouse ears by about 50% in vitro4. 相似文献

The rôle of cyclic AMP in hormone-induced lipid mobilization in Locusta migratoria was investigated. Injection of a corpus cardiacum extract into adult female locusts resulted in an increased level of cyclic AMP in the fat body. The cAMP concentration is maximal at about 5 min of incubation and returns to the resting level after about 10 min. The dose-response curve is linear up to about 0.01 corpus cardiacum pair equivalents.Dibutyryl-cyclic AMP mimics the lipid mobilizing effect of corpus cardiacum extract. After flight the cyclic AMP concentration in fat body increased. Injection of corpus cardiacum extract had no effect on flight muscle cyclic AMP concentration. 相似文献

Abstract Phosphorylation of 2′-0-acetyl-3′-trifluoroacetamido-3′-deoxy-N2-palmitoylguanosine with N-morpholino-O, O-bis(1-benzotriazolyl)phos-phate gives a 5′-phosphotriester. Removal of the benzotriazolyl group and addition of pyrophosphoric acid gave, after deblocking all protecting groups, GTP(3′NH2). 相似文献

Guanosine 3′:5′-monophosphate has a slight hydroosmotic effect on toad urinary bladder. Furthermore, this nucleotide strongly inhibits the responses to 3′:5′-adenosine monophosphate and oxytocin. The response to an increase in medium tonicity is not modified by the guanosine nucleotide. A role for guanosine 3′:5′-monophosphate in the regulation of water permeability in toad urinary bladder is proposed. 相似文献

Oligonucleotide probes enzymatically labelled at the 3-end with biotin have been used successfully to detect target RNA and DNA in combination with in situ hybridisation. Addition of multiple biotin residues to the 3-end increases the hybridisation signals, but it is not known whether the same principle is applicable to the 5-end. We have labelled a 35-base oligonucleotide during synthesis with 1, 5 and 12 biotin molecules at the 5-end and compared it to conventional 3-labelling. In additional experiments the probes were labelled at both ends. Probes were applied to histological sections obtained from paraffin-embedded cell-clot-complexes that contain uninfected and Rhinoviral-infected cells, using a standard in situ hybridisation protocol with appropriate controls. Hybridisation signals were compared for intensity of cytoplasmic signal and sensitivity as number of positive cells. Both parameters increased in parallel with higher numbers of biotin residues attached to the 5-end and 12 biotin residues were almost as effective as 3-enzymatic tailing. The sensitivity could be increased above that of either 3- or 5-labelling by the addition of residues at both ends of the probe. The 5-attachment of biotin residues can extend the value of oligonucleotide probes employed for in situ hybridisation and yield increased sensitivity when combined with 3-enzymatic labelling. 相似文献

1. Both permanent and transient catabolite repression of beta-galactosidase synthesis in Escherichia coli are abolished by 5mm-3':5'-cyclic-AMP when elicited by glucose, but not when caused by a mixture of glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, gluconate and casein hydrolysate (casamino acids). 2. Glucose uptake is slightly increased by 3':5'-cyclic-AMP. 3. No significant effects of the nucleotide were found on the synthesis of protein and RNA, either in exponential growth on one substrate, or during a growth shift from glycerol to glycerol plus glucose. 4. Marked changes in the soluble-protein profiles of cells growing in glycerol and glucose were caused by the presence of 3':5'-cyclic-AMP. 5. Measurements of (14)CO(2) release from specifically-labelled glucose showed that 3':5'-cyclic-AMP greatly stimulated glycolytic activity while having a minor depressing effect on the metabolic flow through the pentose phosphate cycle. 6. The concentrations of several metabolic intermediates, particularly fructose 1,6-diphosphate, were greatly affected by the presence of 3':5'-cyclic-AMP. 7. Several metabolites partially relieved glucose repression of beta-galactosidase synthesis in EDTA-treated cells; three out of five of these metabolites reversed the effect more effectively than did 3':5'-cyclic-AMP. 8. The evidence for and against a direct role for 3':5'-cyclic-AMP is discussed. It is concluded that the evidence for indirect action is at least as strong as that for direct action. 相似文献

The relative levels of the central nervous system myelin marker enzyme 2:3-cyclic nucleotide 3-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.37, CNPase) were determined in neuroblastoma, astrocyte, oligodendrocyte and Schwann cell cultures and in freshly isolated human lymphocytes and platelets. The highest specific activities were associated with the cells that elaborate myelin membrane in the central and peripheral nervous system, oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, respectively. Antiserum to bovine CNPase recognized both CNP1 and CNP2 in CNS myelin and human oligodendroglioma. In addition, a 53,000 dalton protein was evident on autoradiographs of immunoblotted PNS myelin and human oligodendroglioma proteins. Cultured rat oligodendrocyte, C6 and mouse NA neuroblastoma CNPase appear to share common determinants with the corresponding normal rat CNS enzyme. 相似文献

A three-step reaction strategy has been developed to examine the mechanism of extension of a mismatched primer in an oligoduplex substrate by rat neuronal extracts and DNA polymerase beta. The results revealed that in the case of duplexes with a mismatch at 3'-end of primer, significant extension by DNA polymerase beta has taken place only after the removal of the mismatched base, thus indicating the presence of a proof reading 3'-5' exonuclease activity in neuronal extracts of all ages. A closer examination of the neuronal exonuclease activity revealed that bases are excised from the 3' end in a sequential and nonspecific manner, although initial excision of a mismatched base was slightly faster. Further, the excision efficiency is seen to decrease with the age of the animal but apparently does not go below a critical level so as to become a rate-limiting factor for the DNA-repair activity. 相似文献

Freshly isolated rat hepatocytes maintained as monolayers in a serum-free medium synthesize sulphated glycosaminoglycans, most of which behave as heparan sulphate and are mainly distributed into intracellular compartments. Cyclic AMP, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, glucagon, noradrenaline, prostaglandin E(1), and theophylline, all drugs and hormones known to increase intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations, decreased the incorporation of (35)SO(4) (2-) into heparan sulphate of intra-, extra- and peri-cellular pools. The inhibition mediated by dibutyryl cyclic AMP was dose-dependent and observed as early as 2h after exposure to the drug. In the presence of 1mm-dibutyryl cyclic AMP, incorporation of (35)SO(4) (2-) or [(14)C]glucosamine into heparan sulphate was decreased to 40-50%, suggesting that dibutyryl cyclic AMP interfered with the synthesis of heparan sulphate. This was further supported by pulse-chase experiments, where dibutyryl cyclic AMP had no effect on the degradation of sulphated glycosaminoglycans. Heparan sulphates synthesized and secreted into the extracellular pool in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP were smaller in size, whereas the degree of sulphation and molecular size of the heparan sulphate chains released by beta-elimination from these proteoglycans were not different from control values. In the presence of 1mm-cycloheximide, (35)SO(4) (2-) incorporation was decreased to 5%. Addition of p-nitrophenyl beta-d-xyloside, an artificial acceptor of glycosaminoglycan chain synthesis, enhanced this incorporation to 18%. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not have any inhibitory effect on the synthesis of chains initiated on p-nitrophenyl beta-d-xylosides. Incorporation of [(3)H]serine into heparan sulphate was not affected by dibutyryl cyclic AMP, whereas the degree of substitution of serine residues with heparan sulphate chains was less in heparan sulphate synthesized in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP, suggesting that cyclic AMP exerts its effect on the metabolism of sulphated glycosaminoglycans by affecting the transfer of xylose on to the protein core. 相似文献

We have previously shown that 2,3-cyclic nucleotide 3-phosphodiesterase (CNP; EC 3.1.4.37) in rat central nervous tissues can be immunohistochemically stained with anti-bovine CNP serum. However, the anti-bovine CNP serum prepared in our laboratory has only weak cross-reactivity with rat CNP. Sections of bovine nervous tissues were found to be stained effectively with the serum, and the localization of CNP has been revealed in greater detail. We describe here the immunohistochemical localization of CNP in adult bovine cerebrum and cerebellum. CNP stained was localized in myelin sheaths, oligodendrocytes, and the processes of oligodendrocytes; astrocytes and neurons were negative. All myelinated nerve fibers appeared to be stained with the anti-CNP serum. Perineuronal and perivascular oligodendrocytes, and oligodendrocytes extending their processes to isolated myelin fibers were stained. Interfascicular oligodendrocytes, however, did not react or reacted faintly to the anti-CNP serum; only their processes were reactive. Comparison with the stain for S-100 protein was helpful to distinguish oligodendrocytes from astrocytes particularly when both glial cells were situated together at the perineuronal and perivascular positions.Dedicated to Professor Yasuzo Tsukada. 相似文献
