The positions of the outer boundaries of the 5'- and 3'-conserved segment sequences of integrons found at several different locations have been determined. The position of the 5' end of the 5'-conserved segment is the same for six independently located integrons, In1 (R46), In2 (Tn21), In3 (R388), In4 (Tn1696), In5 (pSCH884), and In0 (pVS1). However, the extent of the 3'-conserved segment differs in each integron. The sequences of In2 and In0 diverge first from the conserved sequence, and their divergence point corresponds to the 3'-conserved segment endpoint defined previously (H.W. Stokes and R.M. Hall, Mol. Microbiol. 3:1669-1683, 1989), which now represents the endpoint of a 359-base deletion in In0 and In2. The sequence identity in In3, In1, In4, and In5 extends beyond this point, but each sequence diverges from the conserved sequence at a different point within a short region. Insertions of IS6100 were identified adjacent to the end of the conserved region in In1 and 123 bases beyond the divergence point of In4. These 123 bases are identical to the sequence found at the mer end of the 11.2-kb insertion in Tn21 but are inverted. In5 and In0 are bounded by the same 25-base inverted repeat that bounds the 11.2-kb insert in Tn21, and this insert now corresponds to In2. However, while In0, In2, and In5 have features characteristic of transposable elements, differences in the structures of these three integrons and the absence of evidence of mobility currently preclude the identification of all of the sequences associated with a functional transposon of this type. 相似文献

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a secondary metabolite produced by many antagonistic Pseudomonas species. In the present study, the gene cluster encoding HCN synthesis in a newly isolated Pseudomonas fluorescens strain, In5, from South Greenland was investigated. Sequence analysis showed that the Greenlandic hcn gene cluster comprises a novel hcn cluster. Transposon mutagenesis of strain In5 resulted in mutants In5-2E1 and In5-1H7 with no production of HCN, and mutant In5-6B9 with reduced HCN synthesis. In mutant In5-2E1, the transposon was inserted into the hcnC gene; in mutant In5-1H7, the Tn5 insertion was found in a region upstream of a putative malate:quinone oxidoreductase gene (mqo); and in mutant In5-6B9, the transposon disrupted a probable enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase gene. In vitro inhibition experiments with In5 (wild type) and In5-2E1 (mutant) showed that in nitrogen-rich Luria-Bertani medium, strain In5 but not the hcn mutant In5-2E1 produced HCN and inhibited the growth of hyphae of Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium aphanidermatum . In contrast, when cultivating the strains in the carbohydrate-rich potato dextrose medium, neither of the strains produced any HCN, and thus, they were unable to inhibit hyphal growth of fungi. These experiments strongly indicate that the synthesis of HCN is highly dependent on the growth medium used. 相似文献

Hybrid rice has contributed greatly to the self-sufficiency of food supply In China. To meet the future demand for rice production, a national program on super rice breeding was established In China In 1996. The corresponding targets, breeding strategies and most significant advances are reviewed In this paper. New plant type models have been modified to adjust to various rice growing regions. In recognition of the Importance of applying parents with Intermediate subspecies differentiation In Increasing F1 yield, medium type parental lines were selected from populations derived from Inter-subspecies crosses with the assistance of DNA markers for subspecies differentiation. Results also indicate that a substantial increase of blomass Is the basis for further enhancement of the grain yield potential, and amelioration of leaf characteristics Is helpful In Increasing the photosynthetic rate. Thirty-four super hybrid rice varieties have been released commercially, growing In a total area of 13.5 million hm2 and producing 6.7 thousand million kg more rice In 1998-2005. Although remarkable progress has been made In super hybrid rice breeding In China, selections on the root system and Integration of more blotechnologlcal tools remain a great challenge. 相似文献

Summary In dark-grown Raphanus seedlings, most of the PAL activity is found in roots where it increases sigmoidally during organ development. In hypocotyls, the dark increase of enzyme activity is linear with time. In cotyledons and hooks, dark activity is very low and remains constant. After onset of continuous far-red irradiation, an activity increase is observed in all parts of the seedling. In cotyledons and hooks, the increase is followed by a decrease. This is comparable to light-induced PAL activity described in other materials. In roots and hypocotyls, the initial increase is not followed by a decrease. In dark-grown roots and hypocotyls PAL activity is correlated to fresh weight augmentation. In no part of the seedling could a correlation be found between light-induced PAL activity and anthocyanin formation. 相似文献

A pachytene analysis of two male-fertile paracentric inversions in chromosome 1 of the mouse and in the male-sterile double heterozygote 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Meiotic studies have been made at pachytene on two paracentric inversions in chromosome 1 of the mouse. Surface-spread preparations of primary spermatocytes have been analysed at the light microscope level in males heterozygous for the inversions In(1)1Rk and In(1)12Rk and in the double heterozygote In(1)1RK/In(1)12Rk. In singly heterozygous form, neither inversion produces any serious effect on male fertility. In the double heterozygote, spermatogenesis is arrested in the majority of cells at the spermatocyte stage and males are rendered totally sterile by azoospermia. In the double heterozygote, a complex loop, indicating the inversion bivalent, is found in 90% of pachytene cells analysed. In the In(1)1Rk/+ heterozygote, a looped bivalent was seen in 47 per cent of pachytene cells but in In(1)12Rk/+ no cells containing loops could be found. -80% of pachytene spermatocytes from the In(1)1Rk/In (1)12Rk double heterozygote showed apposition of the inversion bivalent to the sex bivalent. Such an association was rarely seen in pachytene cells of either of the fertile single heterozygotes. Spermatogenic failure in the double heterozygote may be related to interference, by the inversion bivalent, with X chromosome inactivation at meiotic prophase. 相似文献

Peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of o-phenylene diamine (OPD) was competitively inhibited by trimethylhydroquinone (TMHQ), 4-tert-butylpyrocatechol (In5), and 4,6-di-tert-butyl-3-sulfanyl-1,2-dihydroxybenzene (In6). In6 was the most efficient inhibitor (Ki = 11 microM at 20 degrees C in 0.015 M phosphate-citrate buffer, pH 6.0). The effects of In5 and In6 were not preceded by periods of induction of OPD oxidation products (contrary to TMHQ). Peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was non-competitively inhibited by In6 and 3-(2-hydroxyethylthio)-4,6-di-tert-butylpyrocatechol (In4), whereas o-aminophenol (OAP) acted as a mixed-type inhibitor. The effects of all three inhibitors were preceded by an induction period, during which TMB oxidation products were formed. Again, In6 was the most efficient inhibitor (Ki = 16 microM at 20 degrees C in 0.015 M phosphate-citrate buffer supplemented with 5% ethanol, pH 6.0). Judging by the characteristics of the inhibitors, taken in aggregate, it is advisable to use the pairs OPD-In5 and OPD-In6 in systems for testing the total antioxidant activity of biological fluids of humans. 相似文献

When 41 populations from Africa (south of the Sahara) and Indian Ocean islands were analysed for their chromosomal inversion polymorphism, 34 rearrangements were found, including the four common cosmopolitans (In(2L)t, In(2R)NS, In(3L)P and In(3R)P), four rare cosmopolitans (In(2L)NS, In(3R)C, In(3R)Mo and In(3R)K) and six African polymorphic ('recurrent') endemics. Mean inversion frequencies per major autosome arm were positively and, generally, highly correlated to each other. There was no altitudinal nor latitudinal cline of inversion frequency, except for one African polymorphic endemic. Significant longitudinal clines were detected for In(2L)t, In(3L)P and In(3R)K; in all cases, inversion frequencies decreased eastward. Principal components analysis and ANOVA made it possible to distinguish three groups of populations. A high level of polymorphism was found in populations from west tropical Africa. The other low altitude populations from the mainland were moderately polymorphic, whereas the lowest levels of polymorphism were those of high altitude populations and of Indian Ocean islands. Moreover, some regional and local differentiation was also found. The frequency of unique autosomal inversions was not different from those found in Asia, Australia and America, but was significantly higher than that in Europe and North Africa. A West-East differentiation was also observed for the African polymorphic endemics. The present geographic pattern suggests a long, patchy evolution with restricted gene flow, followed by the modern period with numerous recent migrations linked to human transportation. 相似文献

The enzyme type 8 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD) selectively catalyzes the conversion of estradiol (E2) to estrone (E1). To obtain detailed information on the sites of action of type 8 17beta-HSD, we have studied the cellular localization of type 8 17beta-HSD mRNA in mouse tissues using in situ hybridization. In the ovary, hybridization signal was detected in granulosa cells of growing follicles and luteal cells. In the uterus, type 8 17beta-HSD mRNA was found in the epithelial (luminal and glandular) and stromal cells. In the female mammary gland, the enzyme mRNA was seen in ductal epithelial cells and stromal cells. In the testis, hybridization signal was observed in the seminiferous tubule. In the prostate, type 8 17beta-HSD was detected in the epithelial cells of the acini and stromal cells. In the clitoral and preputial glands, labeling was detected in the epithelial cells of acini and small ducts. The three lobes of the pituitary gland were labeled. In the adrenal gland, hybridization signal was observed in the three zones of the cortex, the medulla being unlabeled. In the kidney, the enzyme mRNA was found to be expressed in the epithelial cells of proximal convoluted tubules. In the liver, all the hepatocytes exhibited a positive signal. In the lung, type 8 17beta-HSD mRNA was detected in bronchial epithelial cells and walls of pulmonary arteries. The present data suggest that type 8 17beta-HSD can exert its action to downregulate E2 levels in a large variety of tissues. 相似文献

The expression of Ia-associated human Invariant (In) chain glycoproteins was studied in the Raji B cells as well as in their RJ 2.2.5 Ia-negative derived variant cells by using a specific rabbit anti-human In chain antiserum. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates from either biosynthetically labeled or surface labeled cells were analyzed. In addition, flow microfluorometric analysis of stained cells was performed. The results indicate that the In chain is constitutively produced in the Ia-negative B cell variant. Moreover, it appears that several forms of In chain-related molecules, with different charges and distinct m.w. are equally expressed in Ia-positive and Ia-negative B cells. Finally, no evidence could be obtained that the In molecular family was expressed on the cell surface of Ia-positive Raji and Ia-negative RJ 2.2.5 cells. 相似文献

The ability of indium to target fibrin in vitro was evaluated. The radionuclide 114mIndium (114mIn) was prepared as a soluble and colloidal (In:In) form, as well as, a mixed indium:calcium phosphate (In:CaP) colloid. Soluble 114mIn was prepared by maintaining acid pH (50 mM HCl). Colloidal 114mIn (In:In) was prepared under slightly basic conditions (50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.6). The mixed In:CaP colloid was prepared by incubation of 114mIn with calcium (10 mM) and phosphate (250 M) under slightly basic conditions (50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.6). To assess fibrin binding, the three 114mIn preparations were mixed with diluted human plasma (source of fibrinogen). Fibrin polymerization was initiated by addition of calcium (5 mM) and thrombin (0.5 U/ml). Following incubation (15 min, 37 °C), the fibrin matrix was condensed, removed from the reaction mixture, and washed briefly. Fibrin uptake of 114mIn (soluble, colloidal, or In:CaP) was determined by gamma counting. Results demonstrated that soluble 114mIn exclusively bound a plasma protein electrophoretically and immunologically identified as transferrin. Although both colloidal 114mIn and 114mIn:CaP bound fibrin, the mixed 114mIn:CaP colloid demonstrated substantially higher fibrin binding activity (about 2-fold). The target of indium binding was confirmed as fibrin due to the presence of characteristic cross-linked – dimers (100 kDa) and -monomers (58 kDa) by SDS-PAGE. 114mIn colloid and the mixed 114mIn:CaP colloid demonstrated no ability to bind fibrins precursor, fibrinogen. 114mIn:CaP fibrin binding was associated with formation of CaP, as evidenced by its dependence on phosphate concentration. The biocompatibility of CaP including its ability to bind 114mIn and specifically target fibrin may be of potential value for diagnostic imaging studies to identify regions of occult vascular stenosis (i.e., atherosclerotic plaques, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus).In memoriam. 相似文献

This report describes the synthesis and characterization of two (111)In-labeled DTPA-peptide conjugates (DTPA-MA and DTPA-BA). It is surprising to find that (111)In(DTPA-MA) and (111)In(DTPA-BA) are more hydrophilic than their corresponding (90)Y analogues, suggesting a different coordination sphere in (111)In and(90)Y complexes of the same DTPA-peptide conjugate. By a reversed phase HPLC method, both (111)In(DTPA-MA) and (111)In(DTPA-BA) showed only one radiometric peak in their respective HPLC chromatogram due to a rapid interconversion of different isomers (particularly cis and trans isomers for (111)In(DTPA-MA); cis-cis, cis-trans, trans-cis, and trans-trans isomers for (111)In(DTPA-BA)). The interconversion of different isomers involves the "wagging" of the diethylenetriamine backbone, "shuffling" of the NO or NO(2) donor sets, and a rapid inversion at the terminal amine-nitrogen atoms. 相似文献

An important level at which the expression of programmed cell death (PCD) genes is regulated is alternative splicing. Our previous work identified an intronic splicing regulatory element in caspase-2 (casp-2) gene. This 100-nucleotide intronic element, In100, consists of an upstream region containing a decoy 3' splice site and a downstream region containing binding sites for splicing repressor PTB. Based on the signal of In100 element in casp-2, we have detected the In100-like sequences as a family of sequence elements associated with alternative splicing in the human genome by using computational and experimental approaches. A survey of human genome reveals the presence of more than four thousand In100-like elements in 2757 genes. These In100-like elements tend to locate more frequent in intronic regions than exonic regions. EST analyses indicate that the presence of In100-like elements correlates with the skipping of their immediate upstream exons, with 526 genes showing exon skipping in such a manner. In addition, In100-like elements are found in several human caspase genes near exons encoding the caspase active domain. RT-PCR experiments show that these caspase genes indeed undergo alternative splicing in a pattern predicted to affect their functional activity. Together, these results suggest that the In100-like elements represent a family of intronic signals for alternative splicing in the human genome. 相似文献

There is now evidence that estrogens and androgens are exerting their effects in different tissues throughout the body. In order to determine the sites of action of these steroids, studies have been performed to identify at the cellular level the localization of androgen receptor (AR) and the two estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes, ERalpha and ERbeta, specially in the rat, monkey and human. In the prostate, AR was observed in the secretory and stromal cells. In the testis, Sertoli, Leydig and myoid cells were labelled. In the epididymis and seminal vesicles, both epithelial and stromal cells contained AR. In the ovary, AR was detected in granulosa and interstitial cells. In the uterus, epithelial, stromal and muscle cells were all immunopositive for AR. In the central nervous system, AR-containing neurons were found to be widely distributed throughout the brain. In the mammary gland, epithelial cells in acini and ducts and stromal cells were demonstrated to express AR. In the skin, AR was detected in keratinocytes, sebaceous and sweat glands, and hair follicles. In addition, AR was also found in anterior pituitary, thyroid, adrenal cortex, liver, kidney tubules, urinary bladder, cardiac and striated muscle, and bone. The ER subtypes are in general differentially expressed. While ERalpha has been predominantly found in anterior pituitary, uterus, vagina, testis, liver and kidney, ERbeta is predominant in thyroid, ovary, prostate, skin, bladder, lungs, gastro-intestinal tract, cartilage and bone. In tissues which contain both receptor subtypes, such as ovary, testis and various regions of the brain, a cell-specific localization for each ER subtype has been generally observed. Altogether, the recent results on the cellular localization of sex steroid receptors will certainly contribute to a better understanding of the specific role of these steroids in different target organs. 相似文献

In The Bud Of The Great Ash (Fraxinus Excelsior L.) The Reserves Of Starch Stocked During Dormancy — The Presence Of Which Was Demonstrated By Use Of The Schiff-Periodic Acid Method — Were Used Differently In The Shoot Apex And In The Stem Tip Underneath The Meristem. In The Shoot Apex The Starch Was Mobilized Before The Resumption Of Growth Activity. During The Last Days Of Dormancy The Water Content In The Buds Remained Low, Inferior To The Threshold Which Characterized Them During Active Growth; But In The Shoot Apex The Water Potential, Measured In Terms Of The Degree Of Plasmolysis, Rose By Almost 15 - 105 Pa: some water which had been bound was liberated in the cells of the shoot apex, it could contribute to the hydrolysis of the starch into soluble sugars, which modified the requirement of water. This constituted, therefore, a decisive step in the passage from dormancy to active growth, and the interruption of dormancy was thus linked to an adequate increase of the water content in the bud. In contrast, in the stem tip underneath the meristem the progressive hydrolysis of the starch reserves constituted the response to the hydration of the bud which occurred after the resumption of growth, when the energy requirements resulting from the development of the annual branch were manifest. 相似文献

In the epithelial cells of mouse embryo renal channels, centrioles are located near the plasma membrane of the apical part of the cell. In most of the cells an active centriole carries a cilium, which comes out into the channel lumen. In the epithelial cells, suspended after trypsinisation and in single cells adhering to the substrate, the centrioles are located near the nucleus, and the outcoming cilia are not observed. In the spread cells of epithelial islets, the centrioles are also found near the nucleus, and in most cases an active centriole carries a cilium, which comes out of the cytoplasm at the upper side of the cell. In the peripheral cells of the islet, centrioles are positioned between the nucleus and the active edge of the cell. In the epithelial cells in situ, a relatively small number of microtubules radiate from the active centrioles. In the suspended cells, the activation of microtubule formation is observed in the cell center. In the spread cells of the epithelial islets there occurs a further increase in the number of microtubules radiating from the active centrioles. In the peripheral cells which cause translocation of the epithelial islet in the culture, the number of microtubules, radiating from the centrioles does not differ significantly from that of the inner cells of the islet. The cell center of the epithelial cells does not seem to be actively involved in the locomotion of the epithelial cells in the culture. 相似文献

In this short review, the impact of molecular biology on microbiology in general is described. Specifically, molecular biology is increasingly enlarging the available choice of methods for the diagnosis of microbial disease. In situ hybridization seems to be a particularly promising procedure. In epidemiology, an interesting facet is the high mutation rate of RNA viruses. In pathogenesis, molecular biology will help to elucidate pathways of infection and the targeting of pathogenic macromolecules within the cell and within an organism. 相似文献

In Mytilus and Leucophaea the high-affinity binding site density is significantly lower in old animals than in young animals, whereas the low-affinity site density remains unchanged. In Mytilus the estimated met-enkephalin and met-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 levels are significantly higher in old than in young animals. In Leucophaea only the met-enkephalin level can be determined, and it is also higher in old animals. The decrease in the high-affinity binding site density and the corresponding increase in endogenous enkephalin levels suggest the existence of an opioid compensatory mechanism associated with the aging process. In Mytilus there is a demonstrated decrease with age in intraganglionic dopamine levels in response to applied opiates. In addition, the inhibition of dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by opiates also decreases in older animals. In Leucophaea the sex difference in opioid binding densities diminishes with age. 相似文献
