Summary The regulation patterns of gastric acid secretion in rats were investigated. Pentagastrin and histamine stimulate gastric acid secretion, but the inhibitors of DNA-dependent synthesis of RNA and of proteins prevent only the pentagastrin action. It has been found that pentagastrin induces histidine decarboxylase in gastric mucosa, ensuring local accumulation of histamine. The latter activates adenylate cyclase and results in 3,5-AMP accumulation in gastric tissues. The administration of pentagastrin, histamine or 3,5-AMP enhances the activity of gastric carbonic anhydrase, the enzyme which takes part in HCI formation. The data suggest that these three compounds act sequentially (pentagastrin histamine 3,5-AMP) and the effect of the last one could be mediated through 3,5-AMP dependent protein kinase. The experiments in vitro demonstrated that gastric carbonic anhydrase can be separated into two isoenzymes and the phosphorylation of one of them by the 3,5-AMP dependent protein kinase sharply increases its activity. The findings raise the possibility that histamine and 3,5-AMP, mediating gastrin action, form together with enzymes (histidine decarboxylase, adenylate cyclase, protein kinase, carbonic anhydrase) a cascade of amplifiers.Autoradiographic studies have shown that [3H]-pentagastrin is not bound by oxyntic cells but adheres preferentially to histamine-producing-like endocrine cells and to the chief cells, while3H-histamine adheres preferentially to oxyntic and to chief cells. Electron microscopy indicates that only pentagastrin (but not histamine) initiates in-like endocrine cells ultrastructural changes characteristic for induction. Pentagastrin, histamine and 3,5-AMP administration produces in oxyntic cells ultrastructural changes typical for the secretion processes.These results lead to assumption that pentagastrin (gastrin) induces histidine decarboxylase in-like endocrine cells of gastric glands. Histamine which is secreted enhances adenylate cyclase activity in the neighbouring oxyntic cells where 3,5-AMP dependent protein kinase activates carbonic anhydrase by means of phosphorylation. These different cells form, probably, a multicellular functional unit for gastric acid secretion.An invited article.  相似文献

Crude extracts or supernatants of broken cells of Clostridium formicoaceticum reduce unbranched, branched, saturated and unsaturated carboxylates at the expense of carbon monoxide to the corresponding alcohols. The presence of viologens with redox potentials varying from E 0=-295 to-650 mV decreased the rate of propionate reduction. The more the propionate reduction was diminished the more formate was formed from carbon monoxide. The lowest propionate reduction and highest formate formation was observed with methylviologen. The carbon-carbon double bond of E-2-methyl-butenoate was only hydrogenated when a viologen was present. Formate as electron donor led only in the presence of viologens to the formation of propanol from propionate. The reduction of propionate at the expense of a reduced viologen can be followed in cuvettes. With respect to propionate Michaelis Menten behavior was observed. Experiments are described which lead to the assumption that the carboxylates are reduced in a non-activated form. That would be new type of biological reduction.Non-standard abbreviations glc Gas liquid chromatography - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - RP reverse phase; Mediators (the figures in parenthesis of the mediators are redox potentials E 0 in mV) - CAV2+ carbamoylmethylviologen, 1,1-carbamoyl-4,4-dipyridinium dication (E 0=-296 mV) - BV2+ benzylviologen, 1,1-dibenzyl-4,4-dipyridinium dication (E 0=-360 mV) - MV methylviologen, 1,1-dimethyl-4,4-dipyridinium-dication (E 0=-444 mV) - DMDQ2+ dimethyldiquat, 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyridino-1,1-ethylendication (E 0=-514 mV) - TMV2+ tetramethylviologen, 1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-4,4-dipyridinium dication (E 0=-550 mV) - PDQ2+ propyldiquat, 2,2-dipyridino-1,1-propenyl dication (E 0=-550 mV) - DMPDQ2+ dimethylpropyldiquat, 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyridino-1,1-propenyl dication (E 0=-656 mV) - PN productivity number=mmol product (obtained by the uptake of one pair of electrons) x (biocatalyst (dry weight) kg)-1×h-1  相似文献

2D NMR spectroscopy and J coupling constant analysis are applied to resolve the structure of two photoproducts of thymidylyl-(35)-thymidine. These products are cyclobutane type thymine dimers possessing the cis-syn (the predominant one) and trans-syn geometry. The cis-syn is formed in an ANTI-ANTI conformation about the N-glycosyl linkages and resembles the normal base-stacked configuration. The glycosidic conformation in solution of the 5 terminal fragment differs from the crystal in which the less common SYN conformation is observed. In this isomer only the sugar pucker of the 3 terminal fragment is changed substantially with respect to the dinucleotide. The trans-syn isomer is formed in a SYN-ANTI glycosidic conformation. In this isomer the sugar puckers of both deoxyribose rings are affected and a preference for a pure 2-endo conformation is observed.Abbreviations dTpdT 2-deoxythymidylyl-(35)-2-deoxythymidine - dTp[]dT cyclobutane type photodimers of dTpdT - dTp- and dTp[]- their 5' terminal fragments (fragment A) - -pdT and-[]pdT their 3 terminal fragments (fragment B) - RP-HPLC reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography - COSY two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy - 2D NOE two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser spectroscopy  相似文献

Summary We have synthesized 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphos-phate), an analogue of the 3-terminus of aminoacylated tRNA. A 0.4M solution of this compound maintained at pH 8.2, yields 5.5% of diglycine and 11.5% of diketopiperazine, in addition to the hydrolysis products glycine and adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate). Under the same conditions, glycine ethyl ester reacts much more slowly, but ultimately gives similar yields of diglycine and diketopiperazine.The aminolysis of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) by free glycine is relatively inefficient, but serine reacts 20 times more rapidly and yields up to 50% of N-glycylserine. The prebiotic significance of these reactions is discussed.Abbreviations MepA adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) - MepA-gly 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) - MepA-bis-gly 2,3-O-(bis-glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) - DKP diketopiperazine - gly Et glycine ethyl ester - gly-ser N-glycylserine - O-gly-ser O-glycylserine - O-(gly)-gly-ser O-(glycyl)-glycylserine - Boc-gly N-tert-butyloxycarbonylglycine - MepA-Boc-gly 2(3)-O-(Boc-glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) - MepA-bis-Boc-gly 2,3-O-(bis-Boc-glycyl)-adenosine-5(O-methylphosphate) - (gly)2 diglycine - (gly)3 triglycine  相似文献

Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA.

Females of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata, prefer sucrose solutions containing ribonucleotides to sucrose solutions without them. The order of preference for the nucleotides was: 5GMP>GTP>5CMP>5IMP >dGMP>5UMP>5AMP>5XMP=ATP=2 & 3GMP=RP>3AMP.2AMP, guanosine, inosine, adenine and 5TMP produced no significant stimulation. Females sterilized by irradiation showed reduced attraction to 5GMP as compared to non-irradiated females.Optimal molecular configuration for phagostimulation includes: phosphorylation at the 5 position of the ribose, free hydroxyl groups at 2 and 3 on the ribose, and an NH2 group at the 2 position of the aromatic ring of purine.It is proposed that the 5GMP in yeast hydrolyzate can be used as a measure of the suitability of the hydrolyzate as a bait.
Résumé La femelle de la mouche méditerranéenne des fruits, Ceratitis capitata, préfère les solutions de sucrose contenant des ribonucléotides aux simples solutions de sucrose.

Summary Evaporation of a solution of thymidine plus either theexo or theendo diastereomer of uridine cyclic 2,3-O, O-phosphorothioate (U > p(S) in 1,2-diaminoethane hydrochloride buffer gave the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers of (P-thio) uridylylthymidine (Up(S)dT) in a ratio of 1:2 with a combined yield of about 20%. These isomers were re-converted to U > p(S) and dT by a reaction that is known to proceed by an in-line mechanism. Both the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers gave as product the same diastereomer of U > p(S) that had been used originally in their formation. These dry-state prebiotic reactions (Verlander, Lohrmann, and Orgel 1973) are thus shown to be stereospecific, and both the 2,5 and 3,5 internucleotide bonds are formed by an in-line mechanism.Abbreviations DAE 1,2-diaminoethane - HPLC high pressure liquid chromatography - RNase bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A, EC 3.1.4.22 - TEAB triethylammonium bicarbonate - tris tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane - UMP(S) uridine monophosphorothioate - U > p uridine cyclic 2,3-phosphate - U > p(S) uridine cyclic 2,3-O, O-phosphorothioate - Up(S)dT (P-thio)uridylylthymidine - U2p(Rp-S)5dT (P-thio)uridylylthymidine with theR configuration at phosphorous, and a 2,5 internucleotide linkage  相似文献

Strain B51 capable of degrading polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was isolated from soil contaminated with wastes from the chemical industry. Based on its morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, the strain was identified as a Microbacterium sp. Experiments with washed cells showed that strain B51 is able to degrade ortho- and para-substituted mono-, di-, and trichlorinated biphenyls (MCB, DCB, and TCB, respectively). Unlike the known PCB degraders, Microbacterium sp. B51 is able to oxidize the ortho-chlorinated ring of 2,2-DCB and 2,4-DCB and the para-chlorinated ring of 4.4-DCB. The degradation of 2,4-DCB and 4,4-DCB was associated with the accumulation of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4-CBA) in the medium in amounts comprising 80–90% of the theoretical yield. The strain was able to utilize 2-MCB, 2,2-DCB, and their intermediate 2-CBA and to oxidize the mono(ortho)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,2-TCB and the di(ortho-para)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,4-TCB. A mixed culture of Microbacterium sp. B51 and the 4-CBA-degrading bacterium Arthrobacter sp. H5 was found to grow well on 1 g/l 2,4-DCB as the sole source of carbon and energy.  相似文献

Summary Three independent isolates ofChlamydomonas, selected for caffeine resistance, were found to arrest in G1 phase, as determined by quantitative fluorescence measurements of DNA, when grown at a non-permissive temperature. This cell cycle arrest correlated with lowered levels of cAMP and of adenylate cyclase activity. The arrested cells could be rescued by added cAMP but not AMP, hence the defect was not one of general purine metabolism. Back-crosses to wild type revealed that the phenotypes observed result from a combination of three separable mutations. It is clear that the mutations define functions that are more stringently required for cell division than for growth since the mutant strains are able to grow up to fifteen times normal size while blocked at the non-permissive temperature. The possible interaction of cAMP dependent events with division is discussed.Abbreviations AMP adenosine 5-monophosphate - ATP adenosine 5-triphosphate - BSA bovine serum albumin - cAMP adenosine 3,5-cyclicmonophosphate - db-cAMP dibutyryl-cAMP - DNA deoxyribonucleic acid - DTT dithiothreitol - -cAMP 1,N6-etheno-cAMP - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - EGTA ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethylether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - LSA low sulphur-high salt-acetate medium - LYP LSA media containing yeast extract and proteose peptone - M1, 2, 3 mutants 1, 2, 3 - PDE phosphodiesterase - TAP trisacetate-phosphate medium - TLC thin layer chromatography - TYP TAP medium containing yeast extract and proteose peptone  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

The six binary montmorillonite clay-catalyzed reactions of the5-phosphorimidazolides of adenosine, cytidine, guanosine anduridine were performed and the eight dimers from each reactionwere separated and analyzed by HPLC. A 16–51-fold higher yieldof the 5-purine-pyrimidine dimers over that of the5-pyrimidine-purines was observed. The total yield of the5-purine-pyrimidine dimers was in the 50–70% range while thatof the 5-pyrimidine-purine dimers was 1.3–7.0%. Less sequenceselectivity was observed in the homodimers formed.Regioselectivity for the formation of 3, 5-phosphodiesterbonds over that found in the absence of clay was observed. The5-purine-pyrimidine, 5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine and5-purine-purine dimers had 3, 5-links in about half of theirphosphodiester bonds. The percent phosphodiester links in the5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine dimers was 18%, a value close to thatobserved in the absence of the montmorillonite catalyst. Themontmorillonite-catalyzed reaction of all four activatednucleotides was performed and the 24 products were separated andanalyzed. The trends observed in the binary reactions wereconfirmed and the results also showed that the relativereactivity of the activated monomers was A>G>C>U in theratio 8.2: 4.8: 1.3: 1 respectively. No 5-pyrimidine-purineswith a 5-U and pG3pU, pC3pAand pC3pG weredetected. These studies suggest that a limited population ofRNAs would have formed in catalyzed prebiotic reactions.  相似文献

Mg ions catalyze these reactions. We have studied systems containing ammonia, imidazole, glycine, ethylenediamine and histamine. The yields of adenosine 5-phosphoramidates range from 10–50 % based on the nucleotide.

The occurrence of adenosine 5-triphosphate-3-diphosphate-synthesizing activity was detected in five strains of actinomycetes; Streptomyces morookaensis, Streptomyces aspergilloides, Streptomyces hachijoensis, Actinomyces violascens and Streptoverticillium septatum, out of 825 strains of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and imperfecti.

Studies on the molecular basis of H+ translocation by cytochromec oxidase   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
We report here studies which characterize further the interaction ofN,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide with cytochromec oxidase leading to inhibition of H+ translocation by the enzyme. Further evidence is presented to show that the inhibition results from a real interaction of DCCD with the enzyme and cannot be accounted for by uncoupling and, contrary to recent criticisms, this interaction occurs specifically with subunit III of the enzyme even at relatively high inhibitor-to-enzyme stoichiometries. Use of a spin-label analogue of DCCD has enabled us to demonstrate that the carbodiimide-binding site is highly apolar and may not lie on the pathway of electron transfer.Abbreviations DCCD N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide - NCCD N-(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidyl-1-oxyl)-N-(cyclohexyl)carbodiimide - Hepes 2-(N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazin-N-yl) ethane sulfonate - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethylphenylenediamine  相似文献

The preparation of benzyl 2,3,6,2,6-penta-O-benzyl--d-lactoside, which is a key intermediate for chemical synthesis of oligosaccharide components of glycosphingolipids, was achieved by an improved method. The 3-O-p-methoxybenzyl and 3-O-methyl derivatives were prepared from benzyl 2,3,6,2,6-penta-O-benzyl--d-lactoside through stannylation. By using benzyl -d-lactoside as starting material, benzyl 3-O-methyl-, 3-O-benzyl- and 3-O-p-methoxybenzyl--d-lactoside were regioselectively synthesized using the same procedure.  相似文献

Arabidopsis consensus intron sequences   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
We have analysed 998 Arabidopsis intron sequences in the EMBL database. All Arabidopsis introns to adhere to the :GU...AG: rule with the exception of 1% of introns with :GC at their 5 ends. Virtually all of the introns contained a putative branchpoint sequence (YUNAN) 18 to 60 nt upstream of the 3 splice site. Although a polypyrimidine tract was much less apparent than in vertebrate introns, the most common nucleotide in the region upstream of the 3 splice site was uridine. Consensus sequences for 5 and 3 splice sites and branchpoint sequences for Arabidopsis introns are presented.  相似文献

The sugar conformation of a DNA decamer was studied with proton-proton 3J coupling constants. Two samples, one comprising stereospecifically labeled 2-R-2H for all residues and the other 2-S-2H, were prepared by the method of Kawashima et al. [J. Org. Chem. (1995) 60, 6980–6986; Nucleosides Nucleotides (1995) 14, 333–336], the deuterium labeling being highly stereospecific 99% for all 2-2H, 98% for 2-2H of A, C, and T, and 93% for 2-2H of G). The 3J values of all H1-H2 and H1-H2 pairs, and several H2-H3 and H2-H3 pairs were determined by line fitting of 1D spectra with 0.1–0.2 Hz precision. The observed J coupling constants were explained by the rigid sugar conformation model, and the sugar conformations were found to be between C3-exo and C2-endo with m values of 26° to 44°, except for the second and 3 terminal residues C2 and C10. For the C2 and C10 residues, the lower fraction of S-type conformation was estimated from JH1H2 and JH1H2 values. For C10, the N–S two-site jump model or Gaussian distribution of the torsion angle model could explain the observed J values, and 68% S-type conformation or C1-exo conformation with 27° distribution was obtained, respectively. The differences between these two motional models are discussed based on a simple simulation of J-coupling constants.  相似文献

The white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium metabolized 4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl-glycerol--guaiacyl ether (V) in low nitrogen, stationary cultures under which conditions the ligninolytic enzyme system is expressed. 4-Ethoxy-3-methoxyphenylglycerol XIII, guaicol and 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (II) were isolated as metabolic products. Exogenously added XIII was rapidly converted to 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol indicating that it is an intermediate in the metabolism of V. P. chrysosporium also metabolized 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-3-hydroxypropane VI. The degradation pathway for this dimer also included initial -ether cleavage and -hydroxylation of the diol product 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl) 2,3 dihydroxypropane (XI) to yield the triol XIII which was cleaved at the , bond to yield 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol. Finally P. chrysosporium also cleaved the dimer 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-hydroxypropane (VIII) at the -ether linkage yielding 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl) 1,2 dihydroxypropane (IX) which was subsequently cleaved at the , bond to yield II. All of the results indicate that oxidative -ether cleavage is an important initial reaction in the metabolism of -aryl ether lignin substructure dimeric compounds. Metabolities were identified after comparison with chemically synthesized standards by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.Abbreviations GLC Gas liquid chromatography - TMSi trimethylsilyl - TLC thin layer chromatography  相似文献
