2012年度诺贝尔化学奖授予了美国科学家罗伯特.莱夫科维茨(Robert J.Lefkowitz)和布莱恩.克比尔卡(Brian K.Kobilka),以表彰他们在G蛋白偶联受体研究中的贡献。从Robert J.Lefkowitz最初研究β-肾上腺素受体(β-adrenergic receptor,β-AR)减敏机制时发现β-arrestin1至今已有20多年,随着对β-arrestin在细胞信号转导中作用研究的逐渐深入,发现β-arrestin参与β-AR的减敏、内化和降解;近年来又发现,依赖β-arrestin的β-AR信号转导通路具有"偏向激活"现象,并提示这种依赖β-arrestin的"偏向激活"信号转导通路具有心脏保护作用。β-肾上腺素受体阻滞剂的发现和临床应用被视为20世纪药物治疗学上里程碑式的进展,是药物防治心脏疾病的最伟大突破,很多心血管药物都以β-AR为靶点。但是,由于目前受体药物均是针对受体本身的调控,这样在阻断了受体介导的病理性信号通路和功能的同时,也阻断了受体介导的正常生理性信号通路和功能,造成了严重的毒副作用。所以,研发能选择性阻滞β-AR过度激活介导的病理性信号通路和功能的同时,保留受体介导的正常生理性信号通路和功能(如β-arrestin信号通路)的药物,对治疗心血管疾病有重要意义,受体功能选择性的配体药物将成为未来药物的研究方向。该文将回顾β-arrestin的发现过程,综述其与β-AR的相互作用,期望能为心脏疾病的药物治疗提供参考。 相似文献

5, 7-Cholestadien-3β-ol was transformed into 14β-cholesta-5, 7-dien- 3β-ol in six steps. The inversion of the stereochemistry at C-14 was obtained by a selective protection of the Δ5 and the elaboration of the Δ7 double bond. 相似文献

Incubation of synthetic Man\1-4GlcNAc-OMe, GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, and GlcNAc1-4GlcNac-OMe with CMP-Neu5Ac and rat liver Gal1-4GlcNAc (2-6)-sialyltransferase resulted in the formation of Neu5Ac2-6Man1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe and Neu5Ac2-6GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, respectively. Under conditions which led to quantitative conversion of Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt into Neu5Ac2-6Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt, the aforementioned products were obtained in yields of 4%, 48%, 16% and 8%, respectively. HPLC on Partisil 10 SAX was used to isolate the various sialyltrisaccharides, and identification was carried out using 1- and 2-dimensional 500-MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy.Abbreviations 2D

The activity of β-D-galactosidase was studied in 13 strains of lactobacilli (groupsStreptobacterium, Thermobacterium andBetabacterium). Using 2-nitrophenyl galactopyranoside as substrate, the enzyme activity varied with the strain. The values found in theThermobacterium group were superior to those in theStreptobacterium group. The optimum pH for the species belonging to theThermobacterium group was uniform, in contrast to the ph for those from theStreptobacterium which varied according to the species. The optimum temperature was quite uniform within each group and higher in theStreptobacterium. Lactose acted as a competitive inhibitor. MgCl2 protected the enzyme from thermal denaturation. The calcium ions inhibited the activity in all cases. The behaviour of the
protectors of the SH groups varied according to the strain. 6-Phospho-β-D-galactosidase activity was also determined, levels lower than β-D-galactosidase were found, except inLactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 and 14917. 相似文献

Bacillus megaterium strain B6 producing extracellular β-amylase was isolated and grown in a medium supplemented with waste potato starch. It showed highest
enzyme synthesis in the early stationary phase. The partially purified β-amylase had a temperature optimum at 60°C and a pH
optimum at 6.9 and was not affected by Schardinger dextrins. These properties would allow its application in sugar industry. 相似文献

作为开发新型实用性人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)疫苗的一种尝试, 我们已构建若干组合靶抗原三个线性B- 细胞表位和外源强T- 细胞表位的基因工程hCG嵌合肽。为了检测用这些嵌合肽免疫的动物血清中是否能产生抗各表位的三种抗体,本研究选用能在大肠杆菌中高表达和与生物素亲和性强且特异(方便通过亲和层析纯化)的链霉亲和素为载体,分别构建了三种含β-hCG不同单一线性B_细胞表位(β5,β9和β8)的融合蛋白。在链霉亲和素基因下游多克隆区EcoRⅠ和Hind Ⅲ位点插入各表位编码基因片段(带TAA终止密码子)的pTSA-18重组质粒, 转化BL21(DE3)pLysS宿主菌后, 它们在IPTG诱导下均能以较高水平表达各自目的融合蛋白,而且它们的表达产物在Western blot鉴定中都能被抗各表位特异的多抗或单抗或抗报告表位单抗识别。用改良的制备性PAGE方法可以一步纯化电泳均一性高于95%的三个融合蛋白, 它们的收得率相对1L培养物约为5 mg。作为化学合成表位肽的替代物, β-hCG三个单一B- 细胞表位融合蛋白的可获得性将有助于所构建hCG基因工程嵌合肽以及其他hCG疫苗,也包括它的DNA疫苗的免疫原性分析。 相似文献

1978年,Delarco和Todar首先发现病毒转化的细胞能分泌一种具有使正常大鼠肾成纤维细胞表型发生转化能力的因子,它在表皮生长因子(EGF)存在的情况下使贴壁生长的细胞特性发生改变,获得在软琼脂培养基上生长形成克隆的能力,并失去生长密度依赖的抑制作用。因此,这种细胞因子被命名为转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)。在过去的10年中,发现TGF-β实际上是一种具有多种生物学功能的细胞因 相似文献

High levels of glucocorticoids result in muscle wasting and weakness. β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) attenuates the loss of muscle mass in various catabolic conditions but the influence of HMB on glucocorticoid-induced muscle atrophy is not known. We tested the hypothesis that HMB prevents dexamethasone-induced atrophy in cultured myotubes. Treatment of cultured L6 myotubes with dexamethasone resulted in increased protein degradation and expression of atrogin-1 and MuRF1, decreased protein synthesis and reduced myotube size. All of these effects of dexamethasone were attenuated by HMB. Additional experiments provided evidence that the inhibitory effects of HMB on dexamethasone-induced increase in protein degradation and decrease in protein synthesis were regulated by p38/MAPK- and PI3K/Akt-dependent cell signaling, respectively. The present results suggest that glucocorticoid-induced muscle wasting can be prevented by HMB. 相似文献

雌激素β受体研究进展 总被引:25,自引:1,他引:24
雌激素是由芳香化酶催化雄激素转化而来的。脑组织局部产生的雌激素不仅作用于生殖系统,也深刻影响着脑发育、学习记忆和认知等功能。雌激素的信号是由雌激素受体介导的,以前只发现了一种雌激素受体,这面临着许多无法解释的现象,新克隆的雌激素受体即β受体加深了人们对雌激素信号途径的认识,为全面阐明雌激素在不同组织中的作用机制提供了新的线索。 相似文献

Summary Studies on -galactosidase -complementation are reviewed. The isolation and structure of two -galactosidase fragments that form an enzymically active complex are described. One of these is a cyanogen bromide peptide from whole -galactosidase; the other is a dimeric-protein from a lacZ deletion mutant of Escherichia coli. The mechanism most likely involves an initial binding of two cyanogen bromide peptides to the dimer, followed by formation of a tetramer, and finally a slow conformational change of the complex to a native-like enzyme. The overall reaction is essentially irreversible. A region of the polypeptide chain involved in dimer-dimer contact must be supplied by the cyanogen bromide peptide. -Complemented enzyme contains overlapping sequences. Proteolytic experiments were carried out to determine the origin of the funtionally important segment. The effect on a-complementation of amino acid substitutions at four positions in the polypeptide chain was investigated. The implications of these results for -galactosidase structure and for proteins in general are discussed. 相似文献
