Sialic acids and the majorO-glycosidic oligosaccharide of glycophorin MK from monkey (Japanese monkey,Macaca fuscata) erythrocyte membranes were characterized.N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (neu5Gc) was found as the major sialic acid, which was confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry as the trimethylsilyl methyl ester. ThreeO-glycosidic oligosaccharide units were obtained from a tryptic glycopeptide that contained all of the carbohydrate units in glycophorin MK by mild alkaline borohydride/borotritide treatment. Carbohydrate analyses of the oligosaccharides revealed that they were composed of Neu5Gc, galactose andN-acetylgalactosaminitol in the molar ratios of 111 (trisaccharide), 211 (tetrasaccharide) and 111 (pentasaccharide). The content of oligosaccharide units was estimated to be 1125 for penta-, tetra- and trisaccharide, respectively, based on the yields, the molecular weight, and the number of oligosaccharide attachment sites in the amino-acid sequence. The tetrasaccharide was the major oligosaccharide and its structure was proposed to be Neu5Gc2-3Gal1-3[Neu5Gc2-6]GalNAcol.  相似文献

Summary The relationships of Agropyron intermedium chromosomes in two wheat-Agropyron addition series were determined. Chromosome pairing behaviour revealed that the alien chromosome in lines TAF-2 and L7 of Vilmorin-A. intermedium set are homologous to the alien chromosomes in lines P and C of the Caribo-A. intermedium set respectively. Localization of alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme genes in Vilmorin-Agropyron addition line L4 and in Caribo-Agropyron line O indicated relationships with wheat chromosomes of homoeologous group 4.  相似文献

The reaction of methanol dehydrogenase with cytochrome c L from Methylophaga marina and the reactions of the non-physiological substrates, Wurster's blue and ascorbic acid, with both proteins were studied as a function of temperature (4–32 °C), pressure (1–2000 bar) and ionic strength using the optical high pressure stopped-flow method. The thermodynamic parameters H, S and V were determined for all reactions where electron transfers are involved. These data allowed the determination of the Maxwell relationships which proved the internal thermodynamic consistency of the system under study. A conformational change on the cytochrome c L level was deduced from both breaks in the Arrhenius plots and the variation of the V with temperature.Abbreviations MOPS 4-morpholinepropanesulfonic acid - CHES 2-(cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid - MDH methanol dehydrogenase - EDTA ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid disodium salt - BTB bromothymol blue (3,3-dibromothymolsulfoneph-thalein) - PQQ 2,7,9-tricarboxy-lH-pyrrolo-[2,3f]quinoline-4,5-dione - cytochrome c HH mammalian horse heart cytochrome c  相似文献

Ca,phospholipid-dependent (PKC) andcAMP-dependent (PKA) protein kinases phosphorylate the -subunit of the Na,K-ATPase from duck salt gland with the incorporation of 0.3 and 0.5 mol32P/mol of -subunit, respectively. PKA (in contrast to PKC) phosphorylates the -subunit only in the presence of detergents. Limited tryptic digestion of the Na,K-ATPase phosphorylated by PKC demonstrates that32P is incorporated into the N-terminal 41-kDa fragment of the -subunit. Selective chymotrypsin cleavage of phosphorylated enzyme yields a 35-kDa radioactive fragment derived from the central region of the -subunit molecule. These findings suggest that PKC phosphorylates the -subunit of the Na,K-ATPase within the region restricted by C3 and T1 cleavage sites.  相似文献

4-O-Glycosylation of 2-azidoethyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,3-di-O-benzyl-6-O-benzoyl--D-galactopyranosyl)--D-glucopyranoside with a disaccharide donor, 4-trichloroacetamidophenyl 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl--D-galactopyranosyl)-1-thio-2-trichloroacetamido--D-galactopyranoside, in dichloromethane in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid resulted in a tetrasaccharide, 2-azidoethyl (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl--D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 3)-(4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-trichloroacetamido--D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 4)-(2,3-di-O-benzyl-6-O-benzoyl--D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl--D-glucopyranoside, in 69% yield. The complete removal of O-protecting groups in the tetrasaccharide, the replacement of N-trichloroacetyl by N-acetyl group, and the reduction of the aglycone azide group to amine led to the target aminoethyl glycoside of -D-Gal-(1 3)--D-GalNAc-(1 4)--D-Gal-(1 4)--D-Glc-OCH2CH2NH2 containing the oligosaccharide chain of asialo-GM1 ganglioside in 72% overall yield. Selective 3-O-glycosylation of 2-azidoethyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,6-di-O-benzyl--D-galactopyranosyl)--D-glucopyranoside with thioglycoside methyl (ethyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero--D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosyl)oate in acetonitrile in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid afforded 2-azidoethyl [methyl (5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero--D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosyl)oate]-(2 3)-(2,6-di-O-benzyl--D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl--D-glucopyranoside, the selectively protected derivative of the oligosaccharide chain of GM3 ganglioside, in 79% yield. Its 4-O-glycosylation with a disaccharide glycosyl donor, (4-trichloroacetophenyl-4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl--D-galactopyranosyl) 1-thio-2-trichloroacetamido--D-galactopyranoside in dichloromethane in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid gave 2-azidoethyl (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl--D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 3)-(4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-trichloroacetamido--D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 4)-{[methyl (5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero--D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosyl)onate]-(2 3)}-(2,6-di-O-benzyl--D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl--D-glucopyranoside in 85% yield. The resulting pentasaccharide was O-deprotected, its N-trichloroacetyl group was replaced by N-acetyl group, and the aglycone azide group was reduced to afford in 85% overall yield aminoethyl glycoside of -D-Gal-(1 3)--D-GalNAc-(1 4)-[-D-Neu5Ac-(2 3)]--D-Gal-(1 4)--D-Glc-OCH2CH2NH2 containing the oligosaccharide chain of GM1 ganglioside.  相似文献

The purified isopropylmalate synthase of Alcaligenes eutrophus H 16 reacted with the following -keto acids and acyl-coenzyme A derivatives (in the sequence of decreasing affinities): -ketoisovalerate, -keto-n-valerate, -ketobutyrate and pyruvate; acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, butyryl-CoA. malonyl-CoA, valeryl-CoA, and crotonyl-CoA. -Ketoisocaproate, however, is a strong inhibitor of the enzyme. All reactions catalyzed by isopropylmalate synthase were inhibited to the same extent by the endproduct l-leucine. the substrate saturation curves of -ketoisovalerate or other -keto acids and of acetyl-coenzyme A or other acyl-CoA derivatives had intermediary plateau regions; the Hill coefficient alternated between n H -values higher and lower than 1.0, indicating changes from positive to negative and from negative to positive cooperativity for the substrates. The products, isopropylmalate and free coenzyme A, showed competitive inhibition patterns against both substrates (-ketoisovalerate and acetyl-CoA). Free coenzyme A (1 M) inactivated the enzyme irreversibly. The 3-phosphate of coenzyme A and the free carboxyl group of -ketoisovalerate were involved in optimal binding of these substrates, but 3-dephospho-acetyl-coenzyme A and the methylester of -ketoisovalerate were also converted by this enzyme. A CH3–CH2-grouping of the -keto acids seemed to be necessary for binding this substrate.Abbreviations Used CoA Coenzyme A - Tris Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride - DTNB 5,5-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) - IPM -Isopropylmalate - KIV -Ketoisovalerate Prepared from doctoral thesis of the University of Göttingen 1973  相似文献

Summary A single injection of -interferon (-IFN) (30 000 units/mouse), a major biological modifier of natural killer (NK) cytolytic activity, strongly stimulated NK activity in normal mice, as expected, while the same treatment did not statistically alter the NK response in cyclophosphamide (CY)-suppressed animals.We investigated the possibility of thymosin 1 cooperating with -IFN in boosting NK activity in CY-suppressed animals.The results show that treatment with thymosin 1 (200 g/kg) for 4 days, followed by a single injection of -IFN 24 h before testing, strongly restored NK activity in CY-suppressed mice. Thymosin 1 was, moreover, able to accelerate the recovery rate of NK activity in bone marrow reconstituted murine chimeras.Taken together the data support the concept that the synergic effect between thymosin 1 and -IFN could be the result of effects on differentiation of the NK lineage at different levels.  相似文献

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) contain many carbohydrate epitopes or crypto-glycotopes for Gal and GalNAc reactive lectins. Many of them are in the nervous system and function as important receptors in various life processes. During the past two decades, 11 mammalian structural units have been used to express the binding domain of applied lectins. They are: F, GalNAc1 3GalNAc; A, GalNAc1 3Gal; T, Gal1 3GalNAc; I, Gal1 3GlcNAc; II, Gal1 4GlcNAc; B, Gal1 3Gal; E, Gal1 4Gal; L, Gal1 4Glc; P, GalNAc1 3Gal; S, GalNAc1 4Gal, and Tn, GalNAc1 Ser(Thr). Although 10 of them occur in GSLs, only 3 (L , S , and T ) are found in human brain, and 2 (L and II ) are present in the inner structures of human blood group active GSLs. In the families of gangliosides, L and II represent 55% of the total structural units, while the other three units (T , P , and S ) constitute the rest. To facilitate the selection of lectins that could serve as structural probes, the carbohydrate binding specificities of Gal/GalNAc reactive lectins have been classified according to their highest affinity for the structural units and their binding properties expressed by decreasing order of reactivity. Hence, the binding relation between GSLs and Gal/GalNAc specific lectins can be established.  相似文献

The activity of -amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) in mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) cotyledons increased markedly in response to wounding. The changes in enzyme activity were in parallel with those in enzyme content. The level of -amylase mRNA also notably increased in wounded cotyledons and attained its maximum level during the period between 1 and 2 d after wounding. The level of mRNA for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, which is one of the well-characterized stress-inducible proteins, also increased after wounding, but the increase in mRNA level was faster than that of -amylase mRNA. On the other hand, the content of mRNA for actin, a housekeeping protein, was almost the same in wounded and unwounded cotyledons. The increase in -amylase mRNA level in wounded cotyledons was severely inhibited by -amanitin and cordycepin. -Amylase expression in the first leaves of mung-bean seedlings was also induced by wounding.Abbreviations PAL phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - SSC standard saline citrate We greatly acknowledge Prof. Richard Meagher, Department of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, USA for the gift of soybean actin gene clone.

Doubled haploid (DH) progeny from a cross between the scald susceptible barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar Ingrid and the resistant accession CI 11549 (Nigrinudum) was evaluated for resistance in the pathogen Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem) J.J. Davis. Two linked and incompletely dominant loci confer resistance CI 11549 against isolate 4004. One is an allele at the complex Rrs1 locus on chromosome 3H close to the centromere; the other is located 22 cM distally on the long arm. The latter locus is designated Rrs4. In BC3-lines into Ingrid from CI 2222 (another Nigrinudum) resistance seems governed by one locus close to the telomeric region of chromosome 7H, probably allelic to Rrs2. In neither case did we find any trace of the recessive gene rh8 reported to be present in Nigrinudum. Various resistance donors of Ethiopian origin designated as Nigrinudum, Jet or Abyssinian were identical to a great extent with respect to markers, but differed in resistance to different isolates of scald or in barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) resistance. The implications for their use as differentials in scald tests and screening of germplasm collections are discussed.  相似文献

A study on the effects of eight years application of artificial acid rain on the vegetation and soil in an old Scots pine forest is described. Artificial rain of pH 2.5 and 3.0 caused severe damage to mosses, especially Pleurozium schreberi and Dicranum polysetum. The presence of Melampyrum pratense decreased drastically in plots treated with rain of pH 2.5 and 3.0. In Vaccinium myrtillus reduced leaf production was found in plots treated with rain of pH 2.5. A considerable decrease in base saturation had taken place in plots treated with pH 2.5 and pH 3.0 rain. Exchangeable calcium and magnesium in particular had been reduced, and the content of mangnesium in tissue of Vaccinium myrtillus appeared also to be reduced in plots treated with water of pH 2.5. The study demonstrates the need for better methods in evaluating vegetation responses in field studies. The use of visual cover recording should be supplemented by frequency analysis and harvesting methods to get better estimates of changes in vegetation structure.  相似文献

A method, based on linewidth measurements, is described which permits the rapid and facile determination of JHNH coupling constants from 15N labeled proteins. Using appropriately processed HMQC-J data, we have found that a simple linear relationship exists between the half-height linewidth (1/2) of 15N–1H cross peaks and their corresponding JHNH coupling constants. Tests indicate that this technique permits the accurate measurement of up to 100 JHNH coupling constants in less than 30 min. Furthermore, the JHNH measurements can be done manually – without the need of any computer-based curve-fitting or minimization. Comparisons between JHNH values predicted from high resolution X-ray structures and those determined using this technique indicate that the method is both accurate and precise (correlation coefficient = 0.90, rmsd = 0.75 Hz).  相似文献

The specific features of the topology of spectral powers and coherent interregional interrelationships in the narrow, individually determined -, -, 1-, 2-, and 3-frequency bands were studied by means of high-resolution EEG (62 channels) in novice and experienced meditators (NMs and EMs) at rest and under the conditions of generation of an altered state of consciousness characterized by inactivation of cognitive activity and the occurrence of a positive emotional experience of happiness. EMs in the meditation-free state were found to be characterized by a shift in the values of the individual frequency to a lower-frequency region of the spectrum, along with higher, compared to NMs, -, 1-, 2-, and 3-band power values, which probably reflects the cumulative character of the influence of long-term meditative practice. The effective achievement of altered states of consciousness in EMs was associated with an increase in the local - and 1 powers in the anterior cortical areas, as well as long-distance coherence between the prefrontal and posterior associative cortex with the formation of a center of gravity in the left prefrontal region (lead AF 3). According to the data of the correlation analysis of the EEG power values and the data of subjective scaling of the meditation state, the -power values were positively associated with positive emotional experiences and negatively associated with the level of mental activity. The results of this study are consistent with current concepts that the and activities in narrow frequency bands reflect the activity of multifunctional neuronal networks selectively associated with processes of cognitive and affective activity.  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.

Summary The relationship between the arrangement of cell events occurring in cambium in a definite configuration and the grain pattern of wood was investigated. Taking into consideration the growth activity of fusiform cell ends, a model of a migrating morphogenetic wave determining an event configuration was made. Waves of length =1 m for the periods T=2 years and T=3 years and waves of lengths =l m and =0.04 m for the period T=10 years were considered. On the model, events from successive annual rings, conventionally comprising 10 cell layers each, were summed. In this way, event maps were obtained. For wave =4 mm, the domain pattern on the modelled map was compatible with the grain pattern. The domain pattern for the wave =1 m was impossible to recreate because the wave migrated too fast. In this case, the pattern of event configuration, incompatible with the grain pattern, formed microareas, which were not domains.  相似文献

The kinetics of the partial digestion of bovine -lactalbumin (-LA) by trypsin, -chymotrypsin, and pepsin was monitored by lactose synthase activity, HPLC, and difference spectrophotometry. The relative stabilities of the various metal-bound states of -LA to trypsin and chymotrypsin at 37 and 5°C decrease in the following order: Ca(II)--LA>Zn(II), Ca(II)--LA>apo--LA. The HPLC digestion patterns of Ca(II)--LA and Zn(II), Ca(II)--LA at 5 and 37°C were similar, while the corresponding digestion patterns for apo--LA were quite different, reflecting the existence of the thermally induced denaturation states of apo--LA within this temperature region. Occupation of the first Zn(II)-binding site in Ca(II)-loaded -LA slightly alters the HPLC digestion patterns at both temperatures and accelerates the digestion at 37°C due to Zn(II)-induced shift of the thermal transition of -LA, exposing some portion of thermally denatured protein. The results suggest that the binding of Zn(II) to the first Zn(II)- (or Cu(II))-specific site does not cause any drastic changes in the overall structure of -LA. The acidic form of -LA (atpH 2.2 and 37°C) was digested by pepsin at rates similar to that for the apo- or Cu(II), Ca(II)-loaded forms by trypsin or -chymotrypsin at neutralpH. Complexation of -LA with bis-ANS affords protection against pepsin cleavage. It is suggested that the protective effects of similar small lipophilic compounds to -LA may have physiological significance (e.g., for nutritional transport).On leave from the Institute of Biological Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences, Pushchino, Moscow Region, 142292, USSR.  相似文献

Genic variation was examined with starch and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 14 loci in 12 populations of Peromyscus maniculatus nubiterrae from a small part of the Appalachians in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Polymorphism was observed at eight loci with no significant correlations between frequency of common genotypes or alleles and altitude. Average individual heterozygosity (\-H) values were low for P. maniculatus whether using only slow evolving loci (mean = 3.0%) or both slow and fast evolving loci (mean = 4.9%). No significant correlation was present between altitude and \-H. Interlocality variation of \-H was as great in this study as previously reported for P. maniculatus over larger geographic areas. Rogers' coefficients of genetic similarity of paired combinations of populations based on slow evolving loci (range of 0.941 to 0.997) or based on slow and fast evolving loci (range of 0.858 to 0.974) showed all populations to be highly similar. Ranges of similarity values observed in the present study were as great as those previously reported for P. maniculatus over a larger geographic area.  相似文献

Summary Homology maps between bacteriophages 81, 80 and were constructed on the basis of electron microscope observation of DNA heteroduplexes. In 81/80 heteroduplex, the left half and the right terminal region of 13% the total molecular length were highly homologous, while the remaining region covering the early gene cluster was entirely nonhomologous. In 81/ heteroduplex, high-degree homologies were detected at the left 14% terminal region covering the head gene cluster, the central 3.8% region covering the att-int-xis region and the 1.3% Q homology region. Low-degree homologies of shorter length were scattered at the tail gene cluster, b2 region, cIII region, PQ region and SR region. Comparing our results with the homology maps of other lambdoid phages reported by Simon et al. (1971) and Fiandt et al. (1971), a phylogenic relation of 81 to other lambdoid phages and the role of recombination in the course of divergence of lambdoid phages are discussed.  相似文献

Summary Electrogenic ionophores have been found to induce membrane permeabilization in Swiss mouse 3T3 cells that had undergone spontaneous transformation (3T6 cells). Cells attached to plastic dishes were loaded with [3H] uridine, and then the medium was replaced by buffered salt solution at pH 7.8. The enhancement of membrane permeability was assayed by following the efflux of uridine nucleotides, normally impermeant substances. Titration with electrogenic ionophores, such as carbonylcyanidem-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), SF-6847 and gramicidin D, markedly increased the membrane permeability within a very narrow range of ionophore concentration. Nonelectrogenic ionophores, such as monensin and nigericin, did not affect membrane permeability. Measurements of the distribution of the lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) between the cells and their environment implied that the remarkable increase in permeability took place within a narrow range of membrane potential (). The data could be explaine by a threshold value, under which aqueous channels are opened in the plasma membrane. The effects exerted by electrogenic ionophores on the plasma membrane were found to be similar to those induced by exogenous ATP. In both cases rapid efflux of K+, influx of Na+ and reduction of preceded membrane permeabilization to low molecular weight, charged molecules, such as nucleotides. It is suggested that dissipation of induces conformational alterations in membranal components, and/or topological changes, such as aggregation of protein molecules, to form membranal aqueous channels. Electrogenic ionophores permeabilize both normal (3T3) and transformed (3T6) mouse fibroblasts, whereas ATP effects are specific for transformed cells. Thus, it is postulated that ATP actsvia specific sites on the surface of transformed cells.  相似文献
