The techniques and biological functions of avian flight are briefly presented. The reasons for rendering zoo birds flightless are explained taking into account the tasks and obligations of modern zoos, and the various deflighting procedures are described. The legal situation regarding deflighting as it currently exists in Germany and other countries is clarified. It is discussed in detail under which circumstances it would be justifiable to render a bird flightless, to what extent keeping the birds in aviaries would be an alternative and whether reversible or irreversible methods should be preferred. A legal opinion has been sought which came to the conclusion that even under the restrictive Animal Welfare Law of Germany interventions to render a bird flightless were admissible if based on veterinary indication on a case-by-case basis. Such indication may be justified by the anticipation that a bird may be injured or die from an accident in future if not deflighted. Contrary to the views of some legal experts commenting on the German Animal Welfare Law the authors consider feather clipping not to be an intervention prohibited under the law. In the interest of the good functioning of european and international breeding programmes the authors suggest that the German legislation should be modified with a view of containing a general derogation for rendering flightless at least certain species of zoo birds. 相似文献

The article aims to illuminate the recent debate in Germany about the legitimacy of circumcision for religious reasons. The aim is both to evaluate the new German law allowing religious circumcision, and to outline the resulting conflict between the surrounding ethical and legal issues. We first elucidate the diversity of legal and medical views on religious circumcision in Germany. Next we examine to what extent invasive and irreversible physical interventions on infant boys unable to given their consent should be carried out for non‐medical reasons. To this end, the potential benefits and harms of circumcision for non‐medical reasons are compared. We argue that circumcision does not provide any benefits for the ‘child as a child’ and poses only risks to boys. We then set out to clarify and analyse political (rather than ethical) justifications of the new circumcision law. We demonstrate through this analysis how the circumcision debate in Germany has been transformed from a legal and ethical problem into a political issue, due at least in part to Germany's unique historical context. Although such a particular political sensibility is entirely comprehensible, it raises particular problems when it comes to framing and responding to medical ethical issues – as in the case of religious circumcision. 相似文献

In this report we describe the rescue of a transfectant influenza A virus which stably expresses a heterologous protein, bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT). The foreign sequences encoding CAT are expressed as part of an essential influenza virus segment, that coding for the neuraminidase (NA) protein. The novel way by which this was achieved involved inserting in frame the 16-amino-acid self-cleaving 2A protease of foot-and-mouth disease virus between the CAT and the NA coding sequences. The resultant gene produces a polyprotein which is proteolytically cleaved to release both CAT and NA. The intramolecular cleavage occurs at the C terminus of the 2A sequence between a glycine-proline dipeptide motif such that the released NA protein has an additional N-terminal proline residue. The transfectant virus is stable upon passage in tissue culture. CAT activity is expressed at high levels in cell culture supernatants and in the allantoic fluid of infected eggs. Since the chimeric segment must maintain the heterologous reading frame to retain viability, the virus stability is dependent upon concomitant synthesis of the heterologous protein. This design may be particularly appropriate for utilization of influenza virus as a mammalian expression vector. 相似文献

We propose a concept that neuraminidase (NA) promotes virus entry into target cells during the initial stage of viral infection, in addition to the generally accepted concept that influenza virus NA promotes the release of progeny virus from a host cell at the final stage of viral replication. When NA activity was inhibited with specific inhibitors such as zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate, infection efficiency of the virus to MDCK and A549 cells was reduced to approximately 1/4 and 1/8, respectively. NA inhibitors did not significantly affect virus binding and envelope fusion activities, when assessed using an erythrocyte and virus system. Since the initial stage of viral infection involves binding of the virus to the target cell, virus entry into an endosome and envelope fusion with the endosomal membrane, our results indicated that NA inhibitors interfered with the virus entry step. Thus, NA is thought to promote virus entry, and thereby enhances infection efficiency. 相似文献

An α-neoagarobiose hydrolase (α-NABH) from Cellulophaga sp. W5C, designated as AhgI, was identified, purified, and characterized. Its 1227 base pairs of coded sequence translate into a 408-amino acid protein that belongs to the GH117 family. Multiple sequence alignment of AhgI with other known α-NABHs showed 83% homology with AhgA from Zobellia galactanivorans. AhgI had an apparent molecular weight of 45 kDa and was highly active at pH 7.0 and 20 °C. The Km and Vmax values for neoagarobiose (NA2) were 1.03 mM and 10.22 U/mg, respectively. Apart from NA2, the enzyme showed activity against other neoagaro-oligosaccharides such as neoagarotetraose (NA4) and neoagarohexaose (NA6). AhgI was then employed in a prototype process to produce D-galactonate from Gelidium amansii. Agar from G. amansii was hydrothermally extracted and then enzymatically hydrolyzed by sequential addition of β-agarases and AhgI. The final hydrolysate containing D-galactose was then utilized for the microbial production of D-galactonate. This is believed to be the first report on the identification and characterization of an α-NABH derived from Cellulophaga species and its subsequent application in the synthesis of a value-added chemical directly from marine macroalgae. 相似文献

Summary The basis of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-screening for neural tube defects is discussed. A report is given of a large scale screening study in the Federal Republic of Germany combining the experiences in Giessen and Hannover on over 50,000 pregnant women, about evently distributed among both centers. Published and known forthcoming data from other low incidence populations, particularly of European countries, are reviewed briefly. The conclusion is reached that general screening could effectively be instituted and in the final result should also be cost-beneficial. 相似文献

47 Polish isolates of the blackleg fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Phoma lingam) were compared with eight well-defined reference strains from Germany, France, Denmark, Australia and one Polish isolate of Phoma nigrificans. The isolates were tested (i) for growth characteristics, (ii) for their ability to form sirodesmins, (iii) for cellulolytic enzymes, and (iv) for pathotype-differentiating molecular markers generated by RAPD-PCR, PCR analysis with pathotype-specific primer pairs and PFGE. With two exceptions all Polish isolates do not form sirodesmins. grow rapidly without penetrating into the substrate and form in most cases yellow or brown pigments in Czapek-Dox liquid cultures. With respect to cellulase secretion and molecular fingerprinting Polish A strains (aggressive) fit into the general picture of the aggressive pathotype group, whereas the NA isolates (non-aggressive) display a higher degree of heterogeneity. This matches with inoculation tests on rape seedlings, which revealed a considerable number of isolates ranging in aggressivity between the conventional A and NA pathotype group. Molecular fingerprinting techniques unequivocally sorted intermediately aggressive isolates into the NA pathotype group. Isolate Ph Bial, which produces sirodesmin but groups within NA isolates according to molecular and physiological markers, may represent a novel third group besides A and NA strains with intermediate aggressivity (IA). We hybridized Southern blots of electrophoretically separated chromosomes with radioactively labelled PCR fragments used for differentiation between A and NA isolates. The specificity of diagnostic PCR amplicons is reflected at the genomic level. The A probe reveals a single hybridizing chromosome exclusively in A strains. The NA probe reveals several chromosomes and is specific for the NA pathotype group. Chromosomes from intermediately aggressive strains are equally well recognized by the NA probe as are Polish isolates with low aggressivity and give no signal with the A probe. Both diagnostic DNA sequences are highly specific for the pathotype group they were derived from. The lack of correspondence of both genetic elements between A and NA strains strongly supports the idea of ascribing the pathotype groups to different species. Whereas the A pathotype group is genetically homogeneous and congruent with the species Leptosphaeria maculans, the NA group needs to be revised taxonomically. NA isolates will presumably have to be split into several independent species. 相似文献

DNA trinucleotide repeats, particularly CXG, are common within the human genome. However, expansion of trinucleotide repeats is associated with a number of disorders, including Huntington disease, spinobulbar muscular atrophy and spinocerebellar ataxia. In these cases, the repeat length is known to correlate with decreased age of onset and disease severity. Repeat expansion of (CAG)n, (CTG)n and (CGG)n trinucleotides may be related to the increased stability of alternative DNA hairpin structures consisting of CXG-CXG triads with X-X mismatches. Small-molecule ligands that selectively bound to CAG repeats could provide an important probe for determining repeat length and an important tool for investigating the in vivo repeat extension mechanism. Here we report that napthyridine-azaquinolone (NA, 1) is a ligand for CAG repeats and can be used as a diagnostic tool for determining repeat length. We show by NMR spectroscopy that binding of NA to CAG repeats induces the extrusion of a cytidine nucleotide from the DNA helix. 相似文献

The viral surface glycoprotein neuraminidase (NA) allows the influenza virus penetration and the egress of virions. NAs are classified as A, B, and C. Type-A NAs from influenza virus are subdivided into two phylogenetically distinct families, group-1 and group-2. NA inhibition by oseltamivir represents a therapeutic approach against the avian influenza virus H5N1. Here, structural bases for oseltamivir recognition by group-1 NA1, NA8 and group-2 NA9 are highlighted by the ScrewFit algorithm for quantitative structure comparison. Oseltamivir binding to NA1 and NA8 affects the geometry of Glu119 and of regions Arg130-Ser160, Val240-Gly260, and Asp330-Glu382, leading to multiple NA conformations. Additionally, although NA1 and NA9 share almost the same oseltamivir-bound final conformation, they show some relevant differences as suggested by the ScrewFit algorithm. These results indicate that the design of new NA inhibitors should take into account these family-specific effects induced on the whole structure of NAs. 相似文献

In the vast majority of influenza A viruses characterized to date, hemagglutinin (HA) is the receptor-binding and fusion protein, whereas neuraminidase (NA) is a receptor-cleaving protein that facilitates viral release but is expendable for entry. However, the NAs of some recent human H3N2 isolates have acquired receptor-binding activity via the mutation D151G, although these isolates also appear to retain the ability to bind receptors via HA. We report here the laboratory generation of a mutation (G147R) that enables an N1 NA to completely co-opt the receptor-binding function normally performed by HA. Viruses with this mutant NA grow to high titers even in the presence of extensive mutations to conserved residues in HA''s receptor-binding pocket. When the receptor-binding NA is paired with this binding-deficient HA, viral infectivity and red blood cell agglutination are blocked by NA inhibitors. Furthermore, virus-like particles expressing only the receptor-binding NA agglutinate red blood cells in an NA-dependent manner. Although the G147R NA receptor-binding mutant virus that we characterize is a laboratory creation, this same mutation is found in several natural clusters of H1N1 and H5N1 viruses. Our results demonstrate that, at least in tissue culture, influenza virus receptor-binding activity can be entirely shifted from HA to NA. 相似文献

Insects as a sustainable food of the future In Germany insects are still relatively unknown as foodstuff. However, in many countries of the world insects have been valued as foodstuff for a long time. This article examines the sustainability potential of entomophagy. Based on legal and psychological barriers it tries to explain why insects are not on the menu in Germany. Research in the fields of nutritional psychology and biodidactics is essential for the successful introduction of insects as foodstuff in Germany. 相似文献

Neuraminidase protein (NA) of influenza A virus (IAV) is popularly known for its sialidase function to assist in the release of progeny virus. However, involvement of NA in other stages of the IAV life cycle also indicates its multifunctional nature and necessity to interact with other host proteins. Here, we report a host protein—heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), as a novel interacting partner of IAV NA. A classical yeast two-hybrid screen was conducted to identify a new host interacting partner for NA and the interaction was further validated by coimmunoprecipitation from cells, transiently expressing both proteins and also from IAV-infected cells. Confocal imaging showed that both proteins colocalized in the cytoplasm in transfected host cells. Interestingly, increased levels of NA in the presence of Hsp90 was observed, which tends to decrease if adenosine triphosphatase activity of Hsp90 is inhibited using 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG). This establishes viral NA as a client protein of host chaperone Hsp90 contributing toward NA's stability via the NA-Hsp90 interaction. This is the first report showing the interaction of NA with Hsp90 and its role in stabilizing viral NA thus preventing it from degradation. Enhanced cell survival in the presence of this interaction was also observed, thus suggesting the requirement of stable viral NA, post-IAV infection, for efficient virus production in infected mammalian cells. 相似文献

We herein report the simultaneous determination of the levels of noradrenaline (NA), and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), a major metabolite of NA. The sample was subjected to a Sep Pak C18 cartridge prior to the NA and MHPG assay by high-performance liquid chromatography with an electrochemical detector. The results correlated well with the established methods. The average percentage of recovery was 91.2 and 98.7% for NA and MHPG, respectively. The intraassay coefficients of variation were 3.7 and 4.6% for NA and MHPG. The interassay coefficients of variation were 3.5 and 7.5% for NA and MHPG, respectively. 相似文献

From the 1980s to the late 1990s, Germany was among the forerunners for the critical debate on biotechnology and genetic engineering. In 1995, co-ordinated by the Centre of Technology in Baden-Württemberg, a joint venture research project was established. The project followed an interdisciplinary perspective and included research on attitudes, the social and cognitive embedding of attitudes, and argumentation patterns as well as studies on the communication of genetic engineering in the media. The structure and rationale of this joint research project is described in the first article. 相似文献

Recent results from studies on animals suggest that functional germ cells may be generated from human pluripotent stem cells, giving rise to three possibilities: research with these so‐called artificial gametes, including fertilization experiments in vitro; their use in vivo for therapy for the treatment of human infertility; and their use in assisted reproductive technologies in vitro. While the legal, philosophical, and ethical questions associated with these possibilities have been already discussed intensively in other countries, the debate in Germany is still at its beginning. A systematic and detailed analysis of the legal framework in Germany is provided with regard to the three possibilities, including the applicable statutory laws as well as the constitutional law. The question emerges as to whether the statutory laws as well as the constitution justify a distinction to be made between embryos of artificial and natural origin. This question is subject to philosophical analysis, discussing the distinction between person and thing, dignity and price, personality and property, and nature and technique. As a result, the criterion of naturalness alone may not be sufficient to differentiate between embryos of natural and artificial origin, and other criteria need to be identified. 相似文献

Viviparity in goodeid teleosts is characterized by the elaboration of trophotaeniae, extraembryonic proctodaeal appendages facilitating maternal-embryonic nutrient transfer. The trophotaenial absorptive cells (TACs) express aminopeptidases (APs) such as APA, APN, gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT), dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DAP) IV, and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) as inferred from the results of cleavage experiments with, respectively, Glu-alpha-(4M beta NA), Ala-(4M beta NA), Glu-gamma-(4M beta NA), Gly-Pro-(4M beta NA), and Gl-(Ala)(3)-(4M beta NA). Enzyme reaction product was localized to the apical and basolateral plasma membrane as well as to some intracellular compartments. In the accompanying report (Schindler, 2003) evidence is presented that the trophotaeniae of Ameca splendens embryos randomly, yet specifically, bind and ingest proteins as well as certain copolymers of amino acids. Present results demonstrate that endocytosis is significantly inhibitable by unspecific proteinase inhibitors, such as diisopropylphosphorofluoride, phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride, antipain, 1.10-phenanthroline, and dithiothreitol. The specific microbial AP inhibitors amastatin, bestatin, and phosphoramidon suppressed protein binding to TACs more effectively when added in combination than did either agent alone. Moreover, in the presence of 4M beta NA assay substrates of APs the capability of TACs to bind proteins was significantly reduced. Conversely, the rate at which 4M beta NA substrates were cleaved by trophotaenial APs was modified in the presence of proteins. Depending on protein concentrations the AP-catalyzed reactions either decreased or increased in velocity. Analysis of the enzyme kinetics by methods of linear transformation suggests that proteins bind to APs competitively, thereby adopting the role of enzyme inhibitors. On the other hand, protein binding to APs appears to be a signal to translocate enzymes from an internal pool to the surface membrane. In the presence of primaquine, the rate of AP-catalyzed cleavage of 4M beta NA substrates was significantly reduced. That can be put down to the fact that weak bases disrupt the recycling of endocytosed membrane constituents. In conclusion, there is evidence that APs in the trophotaenial placenta of A. splendens function as scavenger receptors mediating in the delivery of embryotrophic proteins for lysosomal degradation. 相似文献
