Summary The splitting of 6-Br-2-naphthyl-, -naphthyl-, and 4-Cl-5-Br-3-indolyl-glycosides which proved useful for the assessment of cytological localization of intestinal enzymes in previous studies was investigated using isolated human and rat intestinal disaccharidases as a source of enzyme activities.Previous findings based on histochemical studies were confirmed and extended. 6-Br-2naphthyl-D-glucoside is cleaved by glucoamylase and sucrase-isomaltase. The participatio of trehalase in splitting of this substrate is very low and can be neglected. The mentioned -glucosidases are responsible for the brush border staining of enterocytes with this substrate when unfixed cold microtome sections are used. Even when a differential heat inactivation of sucrase-isomaltase and of glucoamylase occurs during paraffin embedding (so that the staining in paraffin sections is due mostly to glucoamylase) the use of natural substrates is desirable for a more precise assessment of sucrase-isomaltase activity (but without the possibility of a correct localization).4-Cl-5-Br-3-indolyl--D-fucoside is the substrate of choice for the demonstration of lactase. Even when this substrate is split also by hetero--galactosidase and by acid (lysosomal) -galactosidase these activities do not disturb the histochemical demonstration of lactase. If however some doubts arise, the inhibition with p-Cl-mercuribenzoate (2 · 10–4 M) is to be emloyed (lactase activity is not inhibited). Due to a low Km and a high Vmax of indolyl-fucoside and due to its extreme stability in solution (which enables to use the substrate solution repeatidly) this substrate is suitable in routine practice even though it is expensive.
-naphthyl- and 4-Cl-5-Br-3-indolyl--D-glucosides are split by lactase and -glucosidase. Due to the fact that the mutual delineation of these activities is not easy and that Km an Vmax for lactase are not so favourable as in the case of fucoside these substrates are not recommended for the assessment of lactase.6-Br-2-naphthyl--D-glucoside is the substrate of choice for the histochemical studies concerned with hetero--galactosidase and 4-Cl-5-Br-3-indolyl--D-galactoside for acid -galactosidase. 相似文献

Summary The distribution of acid phosphatase, -n-acetylglucosaminidase, -glucuronidase, and acid -galactosidase was studied in mm. extensor digitorum longus, soleus, and diaphragm of rats. Using the technic of semipermeable membranes activities of these enzymes were demonstrated beside cells of the interstitial tissue in muscle fibers themselves as well. Acid phosphatase displayed the highest activity which appeared in many small dots dispersed in the fiber. The activity of acid phosphatase was about 1.2 x higher in the m. soleus than in the m. extensor digitorum longus. In the latter muscle a somewhat higher activity was often found in muscle fibers displaying a higher staining for NADH tetrazolium reductase. The activity of -n-acetylglucosaminidase was slightly lower, that of -glucuronidase very weak but still discernible. The activity of acid -galactosidase was not ascertained in the majority of fibers. The ratio of activities measured in an area of the same size in cells of the interstitial tissue and in muscle fibers amounted in average to 2.6: 1 in the case of acid phosphatase, 2.5:1 in the case of -n-acetylglucosaminidase, 5.7: 1 in the case of -glucuronidase, and 44.3:1 in the case of acid -galactosidase. The importance of the histochemical technic in studies concerned with acid hydrolases in striated muscle fibers in normal and pathological conditions is pointed out. 相似文献

Summary The indigogenic method for -D-galactosidase of Pearson et al. (1963) with 4-Cl-5-Br-3-indolyl--D-galactoside was tested and evaluated.The acid -D-galactosidase is not firmly associated with structures and escapes from cryostat sections prepared in the usual manner into incubation solutions. This leakage cannot be prevented by a short postfixation of these sections in cold acetone or Baker's formol-calcium chloride. The leakage is negligible from frozen sections prepared from tissue blocks fixed 12–24 h in cold Baker's solution or in 3% buffered glutaraldehyde (the latter fixation is preferred). Even if this fixation causes about 70–80% inactivation of acid -D-galactosidase it is a prerequisite for studies concerned with its localization. The brush border -D-galactosidase of enterocytes is more firmly structurally bound. Since its activity against 4-Cl-5-Br-3-indolyl--D-galactoside cannot be proved after overnight fixation in cold aldehyde fixatives its demonstration is to be performed in sections prepared from specimens fixed in cold Baker's solution for 2 h at the most, or in cold microtome sections.The localization obtained with the original method is not correct. The addition of horseradish peroxidase did not result in any improvement of the localization because the employed samples of this peroxidase contained a concomitant -D-galactosidase activity.A striking improvement of the localization was achieved by a mixture of ferri- and ferrocyanide which causes a 40–75% inhibition of acid -D-galactosidase when used in concentrations of 1 · 10–3 M to 1 · 10–2 M.A new medium was devised consisting of 0,1 M citrate phosphate buffer pH 3,5–5,5, 8 · 10–4M 4-Cl-5-Br-3-indolyL--D-galactoside, and 3,1 · 10–3M potassium ferri- and ferrocyanide. This medium enabled to achieve a very good correlation with biochemical studies and to localize acid and neutral -D-galactosidases in situ.The acid enzyme was demonstrated first of all in lysosomes of many cells. Its activity is inhibited by galactonolactone, lactose and p-chloromercuribenzoate. The nature of the diffuse extralysosomal staining cannot be decided at present. The distribution pattern of this enzyme in many animal organs is given.The neutral -D-galactosidase (lactase) was localized by the improved method in the brush border of differentiated rat, human and monkey enterocytes and is inhibited by galactonolactone, lactose, gluconolactone, and cellobiose. In patients with celiac sprue this activity is very much reduced or absent. It is restituted after a gluten-free diet.Our revised method proved also very useful in processing zymograms and immunoprecipitation lines of -D-galactosidase(s) with homologous antisera obtained by Ouchterlony's technic and by immunoelectrophoresis. 相似文献

Early development of the self-fertilizing mangrove killifish <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rivulus marmoratus</Emphasis> reared in the laboratory 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The mangrove killifish Rivulus marmoratus was reared at 25°±1°C and 17ppt salinity from 0 to 100 days after hatching (DAH), and its early development was described by examining growth and morphometric parameters, meristic characters (vertebral and fin-ray counts), bone-cartilage development, and pigmentation. Growth was isometric for preanal length, head length, snout length, body depth, pectoral-fin length, dorsal-fin length, anal-fin length, and caudal-peduncle depth. Negative allometric growth was observed in eye diameter and gape size. Meristic counts (mean±SD) for vertebrae (34.2±0.4) and dorsal- (8.6±0.5), anal- (11.4±0.5), and caudal-fin rays (30.2±0.8) were complete at 0 DAH (n=5), whereas pectoral-fin rays and pelvic-fin rays were complete by 30 DAH (14.5±0.4, n=5) and 60 DAH (4.2±0.8, n=5). Full ossification of meristic elements proceeded in the following sequence: vertebrae (by 30 DAH), caudal-, dorsal-, and anal-fin rays (by 60 DAH), pectoral-fin rays (between 60 DAH and 100 DAH), and pelvic-fin rays (by 100 DAH). Both morphological characters and meristic counts indicate that this species can be considered to be a juvenile after 9.8mm in standard length (20 DAH). 相似文献

Summary A sensitive photometric method is described by which the dichroism of lipid bilayer membranes in aqueous phase can be measured. The method is applied to black films with incorporated chlorophylla andb. With chlorophylla a relatively large dichroism is found in the Soret band and a much weaker dichroism in the red band. From the experimental data, the angles
B
and
R
between the blue and red transition moments and the membrane can be obtained.
B
and
R
are then used to calculate the angle of the porphyrin ring with respect to the membrane surface. For chlorophylla and three different lipids, values of between 44 and 49° are found. 相似文献

Summary In these experiments, a considerable range of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases were demonstrated in vertebrate hepatic tissue; 3, 3, 6, 11, 16, 16, 17 and 20 were consistently present.3 hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was fairly active in mammalian liver, but consistently greater activity was seen with the 3 dehydrogenases which are probably concerned with steroid detoxication and excretion. 6 and 11 hydroxysteroids were only moderately well used, and both these were noticeably better used in male tissue, as were also 3, 3, 16 and 16 hydroxysteroids. All mammalian liver utilised 16, 16 and 17 compounds fairly well, and 20 was consistently but poorly used.This histochemical evidence agrees with biochemical and clinical evidence for the significance and nature of steroid metabolism in the liver. Many of the enzymes showing activity in the liver have known function in the detoxication and elimination of steroids; and 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is concerned in cholesterol biosynthesis as well as the biosynthesis of progesterane. To have shown contrasting patterns of activity between liver and steroid producing endocrine tissues is further evidence for the specificity of these techniques in the study of dehydrogenase distribution. 相似文献

Résumé Nous avons fait élever des larves d'Anergates atratulus par des ouvrières deMyrmica laevinodis à 22°C. Pour y parvenir, il n'est pas utile de faire hivernerensemble les larves d'Anergates et les ouvrières deMyrmica. La présence de larves autochtones n'empêche pas lesMyrmica d'élever des larves d'Anergates. Dans toutes les expériences lesMyrmica ont été soumises au fridavant de recevoir des larves d'Anergates. Aucune reine deMyrmica n'a été utilisée dans ces expériences.Sur les 64 larves d'Anergates que nous avons utilisées, 38 se sont transformées en imagos. C'est au début de l'adoption et au moment des métamorphoses que périrent la plupart des 26Anergates perdus. Les femelles vécurent en général 2 ou 3 jours et cherchèrent très tôt à quitter le nid natal. Les mâles vécurent 2 à 3 semaines.
Summary Larvae ofAnergates atratulus were experimentally reared by workers ofMyrmica laevinodis, at 22°C. An overwintering of both larvae ofAnergates and workers ofMyrmica is not necessary for the success of that experiment. The presence of larvae ofMyrmica does not keep theMyrmica from rearing larvae ofAnergates. The workers ofMyrmica have been cooled, in all the experiments, before receiving larvae ofAnergates. No queen ofMyrmica have been used in that experiments.38 of the 64 larvae ofAnergates used became imagos. Most of the 26 lostAnergates died at the beginning of the adoption and during the metamorphosis. The females lived generally 2 or 3 days and tried, very early, to leave their native nest. The males lived 2 or 3 weeks.

A population has been examined in which an overall parity between the sexes hides considerable between-family variation in sex ratio. A proportion of families show highly distorted sex ratios, with either an excess of females or an excess of males. Distorted sex ratios are invariably associated with mortality in the immature stages at a level appropriate to the action of recessive lethal genes. It has been shown that 26% of M-bearing (Y) chromosomes and at least 24% of m-bearing (X) chromosomes carry a recessive lethal gene.Two such genes have been investigated. l kills males and, in a cross between two heterozygotes, gives rise to a sex ratio close to 2:1 (excess families). k kills females and, in a cross between two heterozygotes, gives rise to a sex ratio close to 1:2 (excess families). Selection for excess or excess did not increase the level of sex ratio distortion.No crossing over occurs between k and the M/m locus whereas l shows 5–10% recombination with M/m. A test for allelism confirmed that l and k are not allelic. The penetrance of k is complete whereas l shows somewhat less than full penetrance. The penetrance of l has been improved by selection.The high frequency of lethals remained in the population during the two year period of study. There was evidence for heterosis preserving this frequency, the heterozygotes living longer and producing more progeny. However lethals were no longer to be found after four further years of laboratory culture. 相似文献

Summary Structural gene loci encoding the monomeric isozymes nicotin adenin dinucleotide dehydrogenase (NADH dehydrogenase or NDH) have been located on the 4AL, 4B, and 4DS chromosome arms of Triticum aestivum cv Chinese Spring, on the 4RS chromosome arm of Secale cereale cultivars Imperial, King II, Dakold, and Ailes, on the 4S1 S/7S1 chromosome of Aegilops longissima, the 4E of Elytrigia elongata, and the CSU-A of Aegilops umbellulata. All the results support the homoeologous relationships among these chromosomes in the five species studied. In addition, a map of the 4RS chromosome arm in cv Ailes has been realized, linking loci Pgm-1 (located on the 4RS chromosome arm) and Ndh-1 (17.91 cM), with an estimated distance between both loci and the centromere of 20.00 cM and 32.12 cM, respectively. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung In der Einleitung ist das Ziel der Arbeit in den wesentlichsten Punkten herausgestellt.Die Bursastrukturen (Bursavelum und Rippen bzw. Papillen) der parasitischen Strongylina lassen sich von den entsprechenden Bildungen der freilebenden Rhabditina, vor allem der Gattung Rhabditis, ableiten und in ihren Einzelgliedern homologisieren.Die im Laufe der Phylogenie bei den Strongylina auftretenden strukturellen Transformationen lassen sich auf einige wenige, relativ einfache morphogenetische Grundvorgänge zurückführen, die da sind: Wachstumsallometrien, Materialkompensationen, Organverschmelzungen und Spaltungen (Fissationen), Rudimentationen und ähnliche Vorgänge.Innerhalb der Strongylina Bursa ist ein Gefälle der Wachstumsgradienten feststellbar, das sich vom Zentrum der Bursa sowohl nach distal als auch proximalwärts abschwdcht. Zunehmende Förderung der zentral gelegenen Organe (Rippen) führt zu entsprechender Reduktion der peripheren Bursastrukturen, was vor allem im terminalen Schwanzabschnitt auffällt und zur Ausbildung des oft nur noch als Rudiment vorhandenen Dorsalrippenkomplexes führt. Letzterer entspricht in seiner Gesamtheit der Schwanzspitze der peloderen Rhabditiden mit den Papillen 9 und 10.Die bei Rhabditis moist getrennten Papillen 7 und 8 sind bei allen Strongylina zu einer Rippe (Externodorsal-Rippe) verschmolzen, die jedoch in manchen Aberrationen durch Abspaltung eines akzessorischen Astes ihre wahre Natur (als Verschmelzungsprodukt) zu erkennen gibt (Atavismus).Da dieselben Transformationsvorgänge innerhalb der Strongylina mehrfach unabhängig voneinander wirksam geworden sind, treten bestimmte Strukturformen als Parallelbildungen in verschiedenen phylogenetischen Union auf (polytope Entstehung).Zahlreich untersuchte Bildungsabweichungen (Aberrationen), deren Bedeutung für die Morphologie kurz umrissen wird, erschöpfen sich in den gleichen strukturellen Transformationstypen, die auch bei der Evolution der verschiedenen Union der Strongylina nachweisbar sind. Die Aberrationen führen daher häufig zu Atavismen oder zu Parallelvariationen (homologe Variationen").Die Zahl der Umwandlungsmbglichkeiten (Potenzen) der Bursastrukturen innerhalb der Strongylina ist beschränkt (Paripotenz im Sinne Haeckers). Bestimmte Arten (und Entwicklungshnien) haben jeweils nur bestimmte Potenzen realisiert. Andere können jedoch latent (virtuell) im Kryptotypus vorhanden sein, ohne normalerweise in Erscheinung. zu treten. In bestimmten Aberrationen können sie jedoch plötzlich realisiert werden, so ihr latentes Vorhandensein demonstrierend (Pluripotenz).Wie lange bestimmte Potenzen in einer Gruppe erhalten bleiben konnen, verdeutlichen auch die Schwanzhocker weiblicher Nematoden, als zum Bauplan der Nematoden gehbrende Bildungen. Die Potenz zur Ausbildung dieser Strukturen kommt offensichtlich sehr vielen Nematoden-Arten zu, wird jedoch nur in relativ wenigen Fällen, aber innerhalb der verschiedenen Gruppen bald hier, bald dort (disjunkte Verbreitung), realisiert. Es handelt sich bei den Schwanzhöckern um rudimentäre Organe, die bei keiner Nematoden-Art mehr voll ausgebildet erhalten sind. Ihre Rudimentation beruht zum Teil auf Materialentzug, als Folge von Unkonstruktionen der Schwanzregion, wobei die Adultstadien zuerst betroffen werden (Aphanisie nach Sewertzoff).Bei den in Chiropteren parasitierenden Strongylacanthinae haben sich Schwanzhöcker noch bei allen Arten erhalten, was ein offensichtlich archaisches Merkmal darstellt. Bei anderen Nematoden, denen sie nur im Larvalstadium zukommen, treten sie wohl durch Fötalisation in seltenen Fällen auch bei den adulten Stadien wieder auf.Alle speziellen Bursaformen der Strongylina lassen sich durch relativ wenige und einfache Transformationsvorgänge aus einem durch Abstraktion gewonnenen diagrammatischen Typus ableiten (Prinzip der variablen Proportionen" nach Troll).Die typisierten Umwandlungsvorgänge decken sich weitgehend mit den von Remane allgemein gefaßten strukturellen Typen der Realmutationen. Da sie bei den beobachteten Aberrationen, deren Entstehung auf dem Wege über Realmutationen sehr wahrscheinlich ist, in homologer Weise auftreten, kann das innerhalb der Strongylina zu beobachtende Evolutionsphänomen auf Realmutationen zurückgeführt warden.Obwohl sich die untersuchten strukturellen Transformationen in dem systematisch relativ wait gefaßten Rahmen einer Unterordnung abspielen (transspezifische Evolution nach Rensch), handelt es sich bei der von uns bevorzugten Terminologie (nach Woltereck und Remane), unter Berücksichtigung des Charakters der Umwandlungen, doch nur um Vorgänge, die in den Bereich der Mikroevolution fallen. 相似文献

Problems in estimating growth rates of marine phytoplankton from short-term14C assays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Growth rate estimates () of phytoplankton populations that were sampled from nitrogen-limited continuous cultures and then incubated for short durations in batch culture with added14C-HCO3
– were significantly different than steady-state growth rates () for 3 of 5 marine phytoplankton species. Two diatoms,Thalassiosira weissflogii andChaetoceros simplex, displayed virtually identical growth rates (=) over a wide range of, whereas for a third diatom,Phaeodactylum tricornutum, was overestimated by an average of 40% compared to. In contrast, was underestimated by the14C technique for the two remaining species: up to 40% at a steady-state of 1.0 day–1 for the chlorophyteDunaliella tertiolecta and up to 100% at of 1.4 day–1 for the haptophytePavlova lutheri. For the latter two species the divergence between and appeared to increase with increasing steady-state. A simple model of labeled and total carbon flow between the aqueous phase and cellular biomass was constructed to demonstrate that respiration was negligible when=, but was significant when>. In the cases in which<, a rapid physiological alteration presumably took place once the steady state was disturbed and cells were placed in the incubation chambers, which perhaps was related to the nutritional state of the cultures at the time of sampling. Questions thus are raised regarding our ability to measure accurately primary productivity from shipboard experiments with confined samples of phytoplankton from nutrient-impoverished waters that probably are less hardy than the laboratory cultures used in these studies. 相似文献

The - and -subunit gene-coding regionscontain 489 bp and 519 bp, respectively. The -subunit gene is upstreamfrom the -subunit gene, with a 111-bp segment separating them.Similarities between the -subunits of S. maxima and nine othercyanobacteria were between 58% and 99%, as were those between the -subunits. The maximum similarity between the - and -subunits from S. maxima was 27%. 相似文献

The mammalian placenta is a unique organ for the study of developmental changes. Placentas of laboratory animals such as the mouse allow for the determination of the exact stage of pregnancy, which cannot be achieved with human placenta. In this study, neutral glycosphingolipids were isolated from mouse (inbred strain C57BL/6) placentas, from day 10 to day 18 of gestation, and were separated by high performance thin layer chromatography. Densitometric measurements after orcinol staining showed, at day 10 of gestation, the presence of mono-, tetra-, tri- and dihexosylceramide in decreasing quantities, as well as four unidentified spots. On day 12, the glycosphingolipid composition changed with the disappearance of the unidentified spots and the appearance of an orcinol positive spot migrating similarly to the Forssman antigen; no further changes occurred between days 12 and 18 of gestation. The identity of the Forssman-like glycosphingolipid with the Forssman antigen was established by binding of125I labelledHelix pomatia agglutinin (-GalNAc specific) to glycosphingolipids separated on high performance thin layer chromatography plates, and by the reaction of the isolated glycosphingolipid with a monoclonal anti-Forssman antibody. The appearance of the Forssman antigen at day 12 of gestation coincided with the day of final maturation of the mouse placenta and subsequent cessation of growth, suggesting a possible role of the glycosphingolipid during embryonic development.Abbreviations asialo-GM1

The dynamics of coupled biological oscillators can be modeled by averaging the effects of coupling over each oscillatory cycle so that the coupling depends on the phase difference between the two oscillators and not on their specific states. Average phase difference theory claims that mode locking phenomena can be predicted by the average effects of the coupling influences. As a starting point for both empirical and theoretical investigations, Rand et al. (1988) have proposed d/dt= — K sin ), with phase-locked solutions =arcsin( /K), where is the difference between the uncoupled frequencies and K is the coupling strength. Phase-locking was evaluated in three experiments using an interlimb coordination paradigm in which a person oscillates hand-held pendulums. was controlled through length differences in the left and right pendulums. The coupled frequency c was varied by a metronome, and scaled to the eigenfrequency v of the coupled system K was assumed to vary inversely with c. The results indicate that: (1) and K contribute multiplicatively to (2) =0 or = regardless of K when =0; (3) 0 or regardless of when K is large (relative to ); (4) results (1) to (3) hold identically for both in phase and antiphase coordination. The results also indicate that the relevant frequency is c/v rather than c. Discussion high-lighted the significance of confirming =arcsin(/K) for more general treatments of phase-locking, such as circle map dynamics, and for the 11 phase-entrainment which characterizes biological movement systems. 相似文献

Summary Theoretical studies on the optimal numbers of components in mixtures (for example multiclonal varieties or mixtures of lines) have been performed according to phenotypic yield stability (measured by the parameter variance). For each component i, i = 1, 2,..., n, a parameter ui with 0 ui 1 has been introduced reflecting the different survival and yielding ability of the components. For the stochastic analysis the mean of each ui is denoted by u
1 and its variance by
i

For the character total yield the phenotypic variance V can be explicitly expressed dependent on 1) the number n of components in the mixture, 2) the mean
of the
i

3) the variance of the
i

4) the ratio
and 5) the ratio
i

/2 where denotes the mean of the u
i and
u
2
is the variance of the u
j. According to the dependence of the phenotypic stability on these factors some conclusions can be easily derived from this V-formula. Furthermore, two different approaches for a calculation of necessary or optimal numbers of components using the phenotypic variance V are discussed: A. Determination of optimal numbers in the sense that a continued increase of the number of components brings about no further significant effect according to stability. B. A reduction of b % of the number of components but nevertheless an unchanged stability can be realized by an increase of the mean of the u
i by 1% (with
and
u
2
assumed to be unchanged). Numerical results on n (from A) and 1 (from B) are given. Computing the coefficient of variation v for the character total yield and solving for the number n of components one obtains an explicit expression for n dependent on v and the factors 2.-5. mentioned above. In the special case of equal variances,
i

for each i, the number n depends on v, x = (0/)2 and y = (u/)2. Detailed numerical results for n = n (v, x, y) are given. For x 1 and y 1 one obtains n = 9, 20 and 79 for v = 0.30, 0.20 and 0.10, respectively while for x 1 and arbitrary y-values the results are n = 11, 24 and 95.This publication is an extended version of a lecture given at the 1984-EUCARPIA meeting (Section Biometrics in Plant Breeding) in Stuttgart-Hohenheim (Federal Republic of Germany) 相似文献

Four new Proteus O-specific polysaccharides were isolated by mild acid degradation from the lipopolysaccharides of P. penneri 28 (1), P. vulgaris O44 (2), P. mirabilis G1 (O3) (3), and P. myxofaciens (4), and their structures were elucidated using NMR spectroscopy and chemical methods. They were found to contain non-carbohydrate organic acids, including ether-linked lactic acid and amide-linked amino acids, and the following structures of the repeating units were established: 3)--L-QuipNAc-(13)--D-GlcpNAc-(16)--D-GlcpNAc-(1 (S)-Lac-(2–3) (1) 4)--D-GlcpA-(13)--D-GalpNAc-(14)--D-Glcp-(13)--D-Galp-(14)--D-GalpNAc-(1 L-Ala-(2–6) (2) 3)--D-GalpNAc-(16)--D-GalpNAc-(14)--D-GlcpA-(1 L-Lys-(2–6)--D-GalpA-(14) (3) 4)--D-GlcpA-(16)--D-GalpNAc-(16)--D-GlcpNAc-(13)--D-GlcpNAc-(1 (R)-aLys-(2–6) (4) where (S)-Lac and (R)-aLys stand for (S)-1-carboxyethyl (residue of lactic acid) and N-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-L-lysine (alaninolysine), respectively. The data obtained in this work and earlier serve as the chemical basis for classification of the bacteria Proteus. 相似文献

Cell viability and microscopic and ultrastructural alterations noted in L6 myoblasts cultured in the presence of moniliformin (0.0–0.3 g/l) were compared to those observed in parallel cultures also containing one of the following compounds: selenium (0–0.004 ng/l), thiamine (0–0.3 g/l), or pyruvate (0–0.46 g/l). Marked dilation of the RER, membranous whorls, glycogen deposition, membrane-bound cytoplasmic inclusions and necrosis were observed in myoblasts exposed to 0.03/2-0.30 g moniliformin/l medium. Supplementation of medium with thiamine and pyruvate, or selenium, provided significant protection to cells exposed to 0.0–0.3 g/l or 0.0–0.15 g moniliformin/l, respectively. Dose-dependent differences in protein and ATP production were not detected. Myoblasts grown in medium containing 0–0.15 g moniliformin/l and 7.5–50.0 M A23187, beauvericin or monensin had degrees of cytotoxicity similar to parallel cultures receiving only an ionophore. L6 myoblasts were a useful model of moniliformin toxicosis. The findings of this study suggest cytotoxicity due to moniliformin in L6 myoblasts may be due in part to oxidative damage and altered pyruvate metabolism, and that moniliformin does not predispose myoblasts to ionophore toxicosis. This study supports the results of in vivo investigations in poultry that moniliformin and monensin do not act synergistically to induce knockdown or monensin toxicosis. 相似文献

Immunoflorescence microscopy of sections of the voodoo lily Sauromatum guttatum appendix stained with monoclonal antibodies against -smooth muscle actin and cytoplasmic actin revealed different staining intensity of different parts of the cell. The anti-cytoplasmic-actin recognized antigens present mainly in the cytoplasm, and the anti--smooth muscle-actin recognized more intensively antigens present in the nuclei. A positive staining of the nucleus was also obtained with FITC–phalloidin confirming the presence of actin in its filamenous form in the nucleus. The presence of a nuclear -smooth muscle-actin-like protein was further confirmed by confocal laser microscopy. On Western blots, the two anti-actins labelled a protein band that comigrated with standard actin at the approximate molecular weight of 43kDa. Several other proteins interacted with the two antibodies to a different degree. The monoclonal antibodies against -tubulin subunit stained only the periphery of the cytoplasm and anti-pan cytoplasmic myosin stained the cytoplasm weakly. On a Western blot, anti--tubulin subunit primarily recognized a protein band at the appropriate molecular weight of 50kDa. This is the first cytochemical evidence for the presence of -smooth muscle-actin-like protein in the plant nucleus. 相似文献

Summary In this paper, the results of the preceding electrophysiological study of sodium-alanine cotransport in pancreatic acinar cells are compared with kinetic models. Two different types of transport mechanisms are considered. In the simultaneous mechanism the cotransporterC forms a ternary complexNCS with Na+ and the substrateS; coupled transport of Na+ andS involves a conformational transition between statesNCS andNCS with inward- and outward-facing binding sites. In the consecutive (or ping-pong) mechanism, formation of a ternary complex is not required; coupled transport occurs by an alternating sequence of association-dissociation steps and conformational transitions. It is shown that the experimentally observed alanine- and sodium-concentration dependence of transport rates is consistent with the predictions of the simultaneous model, but incompatible with the consecutive mechanism. Assuming that the association-dissociation reactions are not rate-limiting, a number of kinetic parameters of the simultaneous model can be estimated from the experimental results. The equilibrium dissociation constants of Na+ and alanine at the extracellular side are determined to beK

of the dissociation constants of Na+ from the binary (NC) and the ternary complex (NCS) at the extracellular side is estimated to be <-6. This indicates that the binding sequence of Na+ andS to the transporter is not ordered. The current-voltage behavior of the transporter is analyzed in terms of charge translocations associated with the single-reaction steps. The observed voltage-dependence of the half-saturation concentration of sodium is consistent with the assumption that a Na+ ion that migrates from the extracellular medium to the binding site has to traverse part of the transmembrane voltage. 相似文献
