Summary This work deals with the ability of phage 80 to provide defective mutants of with their missing functions.
Functions Involved in Recombination. As shown by others, the Int mechanism of 80 cannot excise prophage . However, 80 efficiently excises recombinants from tandem dilysogens, using its Ter mechanism. Likewise, the nonspecific mechanism Red is interchangeable between 80 and .
Maturation of DNA by 80. The Ter recombinants excised by 80 from tandem dilysogens are packaged into a 80 protein coat. This contrasts with the fact, already mentionned by Dove, that 80 is extremely inefficient for packaging phage superinfecting a -lysogen. The latter result is also found when the helper phage is a hybrid with the left arm of (80hy4 or 80hy41 — see Fig. 1). However, the maturation of the superinfecting is much more efficient if the 80hy used as a helper has the att-N region of (like 80hy1). Conversely a with the att-N region of 80 (hy6 — see Fig. 1) is packaged more efficiently by 80 or 80hy4 than by 80hy1. It is suggested that the maturation of chromosome superinfecting an immune cell requires a recombination with the helper phage.
Vegetative Functions. Among the replicative functoons O and P, the latter only can be supplied by 80. That N mutants are efficiently helped by 80 does not tell that 80 provides the defective with an active N product; the chromosomes are simply packaged into a 80 coat. This shows that 80 is unable to switch on the late genes of . That neither 80 nor any of the 80hy tested can provide an active N product is shown in a more direct way by their complete failure to help N
-r14; this phage carries a polar mutation which makes the expression of genes O and P entirely N-dependant. The maturation of a N
- by 80 contrasts with the fact that mutants affected in late genes (A, F or H) are not efficiently helped by 80. This suggests that the products coded by these genes are not interchangeable between 80 and , and that packaging of DNA into 80 coats is possible but inhibited when late proteins are present in the cell.
Activation of the Late Genes. Among the im

hybrids tested, only 80hy41 is able to switch on the late genes of a N defective mutant. This hybrid differs from the other hybrids studied here, by the fact that it has the Q-S-R region of (see Fig. 1). The results are consistant with the view that the product of Q gene is sufficient for activating the late genes of a DNA. N would thus control the expression of late genes only indirectly by controlling the expression of gene Q (Couturier & Dambly have independantly reached the same conclusion, 1970). Furthermore the failure of 80 and of the 80hy1 and 80hy4 to activate the late genes of would imply that these phages are unable to provide an Q product active on the chromosome Reciprocally, switches on the late genes of prophage 80hy41, but not of prophages 80hy1 and 80hy4. This suggests that the initiation of late genes expression takes place at a main specific site located in the Q-S-R region of the chromosome. The expression of the late genes would thus be sequential, and proceed through the left arm only when steaky ends cohere. Similar conclusions were reached independantly by Toussaint (1969) and by Herskowitz and Signer (1970).

An improved method is introduced for the determination of the quantum yield of photosystem I. The new method employs saturating light pulses with steep rise characteristics to distinguish, in a given physiological state, centers with an open acceptor side from centers with a reduced acceptor side. The latter do not contribute to PSI quantum yield (I). Oxidation of P700 is measured by a rapid modulation technique using the absorbance change around 830 nm. The quantum yield I is calculated from the amplitude of the rapid phase of absorbance change (A; 830 nm) upon application of a saturation pulse in a given state, divided by the maximal A (830 nm) which is induced by a saturation pulse with far-red background illumination. Using this technique, I can be determined even under conditions of acceptor-side limitation, as for example in the course of a dark-light induction period or after elimination of CO2 from the gas stream. Thus determined I values display a close-to-linear relationship with those for the quantum yield of PSII (II) calculated from chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. It is concluded that the proposed method may provide new information on the activity of the PSI acceptor side and thus help to separate the effects of acceptorside limitation from those of cyclic PSI, whenever a non-linear relationship between II and the P700-reduction level is observed.Abbreviations and Symbols A

The relationship between the plastic-extensibility values (PEx) obtained in the Instron technique and the growth parameter, wall extensibility () has been evaluated for Avena sativa L. coleoptile cell walls. The possibility that PEx is proportional to the growth rate rather than to has been eliminated by showing that turgor-driven changes in the growth rate do not cause comparable changes in PEx. For Avena coleoptiles, PEx appears to be a measure of the average over the previous 60–90 min rather than a measure of the instantaneous of the growth equation. This is indicated by the fact that while PEx and the growth rate start to change simultaneously after addition of indole-3-acetic acid or KCN, the growth rate reaches a new, constant value 60–90 min before a new plateau value of PEx is obtained. Similar results are obrained with soybean (Glycine max L.) hypocotyl walls, indicating that the relationship between PEx and the parameter is a general one, although the period over which is averaged differs from tissue to tissue. In addition, it is shown that PEx can be measured more than once on the same section; a new potential for plastic extension is regenerated whenever the force vectors are changed even slightly. It is concluded that PEx is a measure of those domains in the wall where a wall-loosening event has occurred which has not been eliminated by further wall synthesis or other biochemical events.Abbreviations and symbols DP

Two new dimensionless parameters ( and ) are proposed for calculating the proportional, integral, and derivative constants of a dissolved oxygen proportional integral-derivative (PID) feed-back control algorithm from knowledge of the growth rate, bioreactor design and operation variables. The values of and were determined for a broad range of Reynolds numbers (between 1000 to 40 000) during the exponential growth phase of two highly different processes: fermentations of recombinant Escherichia coli and cultures of human hematopoietic cells. The utility of and for use in dissolved oxygen self-tunning adaptive control algorithms is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Replication of XtB, a capsid mutant of bacteriophage X174, depends on the host functions directed by the E. coli genes dnaE, dnaF, dnaG, dnaZ, lig and rep. The cellular products of dnaA, dnaB, dnaC(D), dnaI, dnaP, polA, polB and xth genes are, however, dispensable for the viral growth. In these host factor requirements, XtB resembles phages K and St-1, rather than X174. Host ranges of XtB, St-1 and K overlap considerably, and growth temperature of the three phages is somewhat higher than that of X174. Furthermore, XtB is, like K, inactivated by antiserum against St-1. XtB may thus fill an evolutionary gap between the X174 group and the St-1 group. 相似文献

Summary If X174-infected cells are UV irradiated about 3 min after the onset of phage development, host cell reactivation (HCR) of the intracellular phage can be demonstrated. HCR of X174 can be observed only in host bacteria able to reactivate phages T1 and . Like with these two phages, HCR in X174 can be inhibited by caffeine.Since no HCR can be observed if X174 is irradiated extracellularly or immediately after infection, it seems likely that only UV damage to the double stranded replicative form of X174 can be repaired by HCR.With 4 Figures in the Text 相似文献

The relation between the quantum yield of oxygen evolution of open photosystem II reactions centers (p), calculated according to Weis and Berry (1987), and non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence of plants grown at 19°C and 7°C was measured at 19°C and 7°C. The relation was linear when measured at 19°C, but when measured at 7°C a deviation from linearity was observed at high values of non-photochemical quenching. In plants grown at 7°C this deviation occurred at higher values of non-photochemical quenching than in plants grown at 19°C. The deviations at high light intensity and low temperature are ascribed to an increase in an inhibition-related, non-photochemical quenching component (qI).The relation between the quantum yield of excitation capture of open photosystem II reaction centers (exe), calculated according to Genty et al. (1989), and non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence was found to be non-linear and was neither influenced by growth temperature nor by measuring temperature.At high PFD the efficiency of overall steady state electron transport measured by oxygen-evolution, correlated well with the product of q

and the efficiency of excitation capture (exe) but it deviated at low PFD. The deviations at low light intensity are attributed to the different populations of chloroplasts measured by gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence and to the light gradient within the leaf.Abbreviations F0

Summary A new bacteriophage from Halobacterium halobium has been isolated and partially characterized. It is not homologous to the phage H (Schnabel, et al. 1982) which infects the same bacterium, though it appeared spontaneously in a culture of H adapted to H. halobium NRL/JW. The size and morphology of N are comparable to that of other known halophages. The genome of N consists of linear double-stranded DNA, 56 kb in size, whose dCMP is totally replaced by 5-methyl-dCMP. This is the second case of a fully cytosine-methylated genome, the bacteriophage XP12 from Xanthomonas oryzae, being so far the only one reported. Like H, the N, genome seems to have terminal redundancy and circular permutation. N is the first halobacterial phage which survives prolonged exposure to low ionic strength environments. After 48 h incubation in distilled water a loss in infectivity of less than 50% is observed. 相似文献

Summary The plasmid pHL, which arose by circularization of the invertible L segment of phage H, integrates into phage DNA during growth of phage HL1 on the Halobacterium halobium strain R1-L. More than 1% of all phage DNA isolated from such a lysate contains integrated pHL. Recombination between the plasmid and the homologous L segment in the phage genome occurs with equally high frequency on both sides of a 1 kb insertion present in HL1 DNA but absent from pHL. Thus, homologous recombination is an important factor in the generation of DNA rearrangements in H. halobium. 相似文献

The oxygen flash yield (YO2) and photochemical yield of PS II (PS II) were simultaneously detected in intact Chlorella cells on a bare platinum oxygen rate electrode. The two yields were measured as a function of background irradiance in the steady-state and following a transition from light to darkness. During steady-state illumination at moderate irradiance levels, YO2 and PS II followed each other, suggesting a close coupling between the oxidation of water and QA reduction (Falkowski et al. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 933: 432–443). Following a light-to-dark transition, however, the relationship between QA reduction and the fraction of PS II reaction centers capable of evolving O2 became temporarily uncoupled. PS II recovered to the preillumination levels within 5–10 s, while the YO2 required up to 60 s to recover under aerobic conditions. The recovery of YO2 was independent of the redox state of QA, but was accompanied by a 30% increase in the functional absorption cross-section of PS II (PS II). The hysteresis between YO2 and the reduction of QA during the light-to-dark transition was dependent upon the reduction level of the plastoquinone pool and does not appear to be due to a direct radiative charge back-reaction, but rather is a consequence of a transient cyclic electron flow around PS II. The cycle is engaged in vivo only when the plastoquinone pool is reduced. Hence, the plastoquinone pool can act as a clutch that disconnects the oxygen evolution from photochemical charge separation in PS II.Abbreviations ADRY

Quantification of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence is a versatile tool for analysing the photosynthetic performance of plants in a non-intrusive manner. A pulse-amplitude modulated fluorometer was combined with a CNC router for the automated measurement of the effective quantum yield of photosystem 2 (2) of Arabidopsis thaliana plants. About 90 000 individual plants representing 7 500 lines derived from En-transposon and T-DNA mutagenised Arabidopsis populations were screened for mutants with altered 2. Forty-eight recessive 2 mutations were identified of which most exhibit also altered pigmentation and increased photosensitivity. For three 2 mutants the corresponding mutated genes were identified that code all for chloroplast-located proteins. Comparison of the 2 mutant screen with other screening methods based on the measurement of Chl fluorescence shows that the 2 mutants identified are different to mutants identified by high Chl fluorescence. Some 2 mutants, on the contrary, are common to mutants identified by screens based on non-photochemical quenching. 相似文献

Summary In field experiments conducted in 1981 on deep loess soils a significant correlation was obtained between EUF-N content in the topsoil and N in sugar beet roots as well as in whole plants. A very close correlation was found to exist between EUF-N values in June 1981 and -amino N in sugar beet roots at harvest. Also other quality criteria such as the contents of sugar, K and Na in roots and yield parameters correlated with EUF-N contents in topsoils.The inorganic and organic EUF-N fractions changed during the vegetation period due to both N uptake by the crop and mineralization. Therefore it appears to be expedient to use both fractions when calculating N fertilizer requirements.The correlation between EUF-N (topsoil samples drawn in the year preceding sugar beet) and sugar yield increases obtained by N fertilization that was found in Austria12 was confirmed in our experiments with soils from Southern Lower Saxony. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Methode zur UV-Bestrahlung von Enzymsuspensionen in Alkohol angegeben. Durch Eintauchen der UV-Lampe in die homogene Suspension läßt sich auf einfache Weise die vom Enzym absorbierte Energie bestimmen. Die Inaktivierung wird in Abhängigkeit von der Bestrahlungsdauer gemessen und mittels der ESR-Spektroskopie die Radikalbildung untersucht. Die ESR-Spektren zeigen, daß eine sauerstoff- und wasserfreie Äthanolsuspension vakuumähnliche Bestrahlungsbedingungen liefert. Man erhält ein Radikal am-Kohlenstoff und ein Schwefelradikal vom Typ RS ·. Es wurden die Quantenausbeuten für die Inaktivierung
i und für die Radikalbildung
r ermittelt. Für Trypsin finden wir nach Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht der Wellenlänge 254 nm
i=2,4·10–2 und
r =1,7·10–3. Daraus ergibt sich für die Anzahl der Radikale pro inaktiviertem Molekül ein Wert von 0,07, der nahelegt, daß zwischen der gemessenen Inaktivierung und den noch vorhandenen Radikalen kein direkter Zusammenhang besteht. Untersuchungen mit einem kontinuierlichen UV-Spektrum ergaben dieselbe Radikalzahl pro inaktiviertem Molekül, wobei jedoch die Schwefelradikalausbeute geringer ist als nach Bestrahlung mit der Linie 254 nm. Bestrahlung mit Wellenlängen > 300 nm bewirkte eine teilweise Löschung der durch die Linie 254 nm erzeugten Radikale.

Studies on inactivation and radical formation after UV-irradiation of trypsin in suspension
Summary A method for UV irradiation of suspensions of enzymes in alcohol has been described. The UV lamp was dipped into the suspension which was stirred during irradiation in order to provide a homogeneous exposure of the enzymes and to facilitate the determination of the energy absorbed in the enzymes. The inactivation has been studied as a function of exposure time, radical formations being analysed by way of EPR-spectroscopy. The EPR spectra indicated that oxygen- and waterfree suspensions in ethanol provide vacuumlike conditions for UV irradiation. A radical at the C position and a sulfur radical of the RS · type were observed. Quantum yields for the inactivation ( i) and for radical formation ( r) were obtained. UV irradiation of trypsin at 254 nm yielded i=2,4·10–2 and r=1,7·10–3. As a result the value of 0.07 free radicals per inactivated molecule leads to the suggestion that there is no direct relation between the inactivation and the observed radical formation. The same number of free radicals per inactivated molecule was obtained after irradiation with a continuous UV spectrum, the yield of sulfur radicals however was lower than in the 254 nm investigation. Irradiation with > 300 nm partially quenches the radicals produced at 254 nm.

The yield of photosynthetic O2 evolution was measured in cultures of Dunaliella C9AA over a range of light intensities, and a range of low temperatures at constant light intensity. Changes in the rate of charge separation at Photosystem I (PS I) and Photosystem II (PS II) were estimated by the parameters PS I and PS II . PS I is calculated on the basis of the proportion of centres in the correct redox state for charge separation to occur, as measured spectrophotometrically. PS II is calculated using chlorophyll fluorescence to estimate the proportion of centres in the correct redox state, and also to estimate limitations in excitation delivery to reaction centres. With both increasing light intensity and decreasing temperature it was found that O2 evolution decreased more than predicted by either PS I or PS II. The results are interpreted as evidence of non-assimilatory electron flow; either linear whole chain, or cyclic around each photosystem.Abbreviations F0

Summary Addition of noradrenaline (4×10–5
m) to the inner bathing fluid in the skin of the frogRana esculenta results in increased unidirectional fluxes of urea, thiourea, N-methyl-thiourea, N-N-dimethylthiourea and mannitol. Fluxes towards the external medium (
0) undergo a much greater increase than those moving in the opposite direction (
i
). The effect of noradrenaline on (
0) is higher for urea and thiourea than mannitol, while its effect on (
0) thiourea derivatives is related to lipid solubility. This phenomenon does not occur for (
i
) of the same molecules.FCCP (10–6
m) pretreatment strongly inhibits the noradrenaline effect on (
0). In skin pretreated whith colchicine (2×10–5
m) both urea fluxes are increased to the same extent by noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is concluded to exert two separate effects: (1) a change in permeability in both directions; (2) a secretion of nonelectrolytes towards the external fluid. Such secretion is most probably associated with the hormone-induced secretion of fluid and electrolytes, perhaps mediated by an exocytotic mechanism. 相似文献

Deuterium isotope effects and fractionation factors of N1...H3–N3 hydrogen bonded Watson–Crick A:T base pairs of two DNA dodecamers are presented here. Specifically, two-bond deuterium isotope effects on the chemical shifts of 13C2 and 13C4, 213C2 and 213C4, and equilibrium deuterium/protium fractionation factors of H3, , were measured and seen to correlate with the chemical shift of the corresponding imino proton, H3. Downfield-shifted imino protons associated with larger values of 213C2 and 213C4 and smaller values, which together suggested that the effective H3–N3 vibrational potentials were more anharmonic in the stronger hydrogen bonds of these DNA molecules. We anticipate that 213C2, 213C4 and values can be useful gauges of hydrogen bond strength of A:T base pairs. 相似文献

The light dependence of quantum yields of Photosystem II (II) and of CO2 fixation were determined in C3 and C4 plants under atmospheric conditions where photorespiration was minimal. Calculations were made of the apparent quantum yield for CO2 fixation by dividing the measured rate of photosynthesis by the absorbed light [A/I=CO2 and of the true quantum yield by dividing the estimated true rate of photosynthesis by absorbed light [(A+Rl)/Ia=CO2·], where RL is the rate of respiration in the light. The dependence of the II/CO2 and II/CO2
* ratios on light intensity was then evaluated. In both C3 and C4 plants there was little change in the ratio of II/CO2 at light intensities equivalent to 10–100% of full sunlight, whereas there was a dramatic increase in the ratio at lower light intensities. Changes in the ratio of II/CO2 can occur because respiratory losses are not accounted for, due to changes in the partitioning of energy between photosystems or changes in the relationship between PS II activity and CO2 fixation. The apparent decrease in efficiency of utilization of energy derived from PS II for CO2 fixation under low light intensity may be due to respiratory loss of CO2. Using dark respiration as an estimate of RL, the calculated II/CO2
* ratio was nearly constant from full sunlight down to approx 5% of full sunlight, which suggests a strong linkage between the true rate of CO2 fixation and PS II activity under varying light intensity. Measurements of photosynthesis rates and II were made by illuminating upper versus lower leaf surfaces of representative C3 and C4 monocots and dicots. With the monocots, the rate of photosynthesis and the ratio of II/CO2 exhibited a very similar patterns with leaves illuminated from the adaxial versus the abaxial surface, which may be due to uniformity in anatomy and lack of differences in light acclimation between the two surfaces. With dicots, the abaxial surface had both lower rates of photosynthesis and lower II values than the adaxial surface which may be due to differences in anatomy (spongy versus palisade mesophyll cells) and/or light acclimation between the two surfaces. However, in each species the response of II/CO2 to varying light intensity was similar between the two surfaces, indicating a comparable linkage between PS II activity and CO2 fixation.Abbreviations A

Factors Limiting Photosynthetic Recovery in Sweet Pepper Leaves After Short-Term Chilling Stress Under Low Irradiance 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of chilling treatment (4 °C) under low irradiance, LI (100 mol m–2 s–1) and in the dark on subsequent recovery of photosynthesis in chilling-sensitive sweet pepper leaves were investigated by comparing the ratio of quantum yields of photosystem (PS) 2 and CO2 assimilation, PS2/CO2, measured in normal air (21 % O2, NA) and low O2-air (2% O2, LOA), and by analyzing chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence parameters. Chilling treatment in the dark had little effect on Fv/Fm and PS2/CO2, but it caused the decrease of net photosynthetic rate (P
N) under saturating irradiance after 6-h chilling treatment, indicating that short-term chilling alone did not induce PS2 photoinhibition. Furthermore, photorespiration and Mehler reaction also did not obviously change during subsequent recovery after chilling stress in the dark. During chilling treatment under LI, there were obvious changes in Fv/Fm and PS2/CO2, determined in NA or LOA. Fv/Fm could recover fully in 4 h at 25 °C, and PS2/CO2 increased at the end of the treatment, as determined in both NA and LOA. During subsequent recovery, PS2/CO2 in LOA decreased faster than in NA. Thus the Mehler reaction might play an important role during chilling treatment under LI, and photorespiration was an important process during the subsequent recovery. The recovery of PN under saturating irradiance determined in NA and LOA took about 50 h, implying that there were some factors besides CO2 assimilation limiting the recovery of photosynthesis. From the progress of reduced P700 and the increase of the Mehler reaction during chilling under LI we propose that active oxygen species were the factors inducing PS1 photoinhibition, which prevented the recovery of photosynthesis in optimal conditions because of the slow recovery of the oxidizable P700. 相似文献

Dry, sandy scrub habitats of the Floridapeninsula represent naturally fragmentedremnants of xeric ecosystems that werewidespread during the Pliocene and earlyPleistocene. This habitat is characterized byhigh endemism, and distribution of genetic andevolutionary diversity among scrub ``islands' isof compelling interest because Florida scrub israpidly disappearing under human development. We compare range-wide diversity inmitochondrial cytochrome b sequences forthree scrub-associated lizards with contrastinglevels of habitat specificity. All speciesshow strong geographic partitioning of geneticdiversity, supporting the hypothesis that scrubfauna is highly restricted by vicariantseparations. The mole skink (Eumecesegregius), the least habitat specific, has thelowest phylogeographic structure among thelizards (st = 0.631). The mtDNAgeneology for E. egregius is not entirelyconcordant with the five recognized subspeciesand supports a link between populations incentral Florida (E. e. lividus) and theFlorida Keys (E.e. egregius) rather thana previously proposed affiliation betweennorthern and southern populations. The Floridascrub lizard (Sceloporus woodi) is themost habitat specific of the lizards and hasthe strongest phylogeographic structure (st = 0.876). The sand skink (Neosepsreynoldsi) falls between the moleskink and scrub lizard in terms of habitatspecificity and phylogeographic structure (st = 0.667). For all three species,networks of mtDNA haplotypes coalesce on twocentral ridges that contain the oldest scrub. The geographic structure and deep evolutionarylineages observed in these species have strongimplications for conservation, includingstrategies for translocation, reserve design,and management of landscape connectivity. 相似文献
