A 17-membered peptide corresponding to the amino acid sequence of (143-159) site of protein VP1 of A12 foot-and-mouth disease virus has been obtained by mixed anhydride method condensations of the earlier synthesized fragments. A norleucine residue has been attached, as a label, to the ends of peptides obtained. The complete deprotection was performed by hydrogenation peptides' hydrochlorides and the products were purified by HPLC. The antigenic properties of the synthesized peptides are discussed. 相似文献

Fragments (1-9), (10-14), (15-20), (21-26), (29-33) and (34-40) of a tetracontapeptide hypothetical ancestor of calcium-binding proteins were synthesised with the use of pentafluorophenyl esters. Formation of a succinimide derivative was detected during synthesis of fragment (15-20) containing Asp(OBzl)-Gly sequence. To avoid this side process, tert-butylprotecting group was used instead of benzyl group. alpha-Carboxyls of C-terminal amino acids were protected by phenacyl group. 相似文献

Misonidazole (MISO), a selective radiosensitizer of hypoxic cells, forms adducts with cellular biomolecules with rates which are 30-50 X higher under hypoxic as compared to aerobic conditions of incubation. This technique of sensitizer adduct formation was proposed as a possible means of measuring the hypoxic fraction of solid tumors by noninvasive procedures. Iodoazomycin riboside (5'-IAZR) and 5'-[125I]AZR were synthesized and chemically characterized. Measurements of in vitro cytotoxicity and radiosensitizing ability with EMT-6 tumor cells in vitro indicated that 5'-IAZR is approximately 3 X more toxic and effective than is azomycin riboside (AZR) and approximately 10 X more toxic and effective than is MISO. 5'-[125I]AZR was shown to selectively bind to hypoxic EMT-6 cells at rates which were 2.5-3 X faster than those of MISO. The absolute rates of binding of 5'-IAZR to hypoxic cells at concentrations of 10-100 microM are the highest observed in this laboratory for any hypoxic cell radiosensitizer tested to date. These data suggest that 5'-IAZR, when labeled with an appropriate radioisotope (e.g., 131I), might be a useful marker for hypoxic cells in solid tumors amenable to noninvasive detection. Additional studies with animal tumor models appear to be warranted. 相似文献

(R)-(-)-Muscone (3-methylcyclopentadecanone, 1) the key perfumery component isolated from the male musk deer, Moschus moschiferus,* was synthesized from the easily available chiral building block, (R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-methylpropanoic acid (2), by employing ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM). Antipode (+)-1 was also synthesized in a similar manner from tert-butyl (S)-3-methoxycarbonylbutanoate (10). *(a) Walbaum, H. J. J. Prakt.

Cryo-electron tomography of vitreous sections is currently the most promising technique for visualizing arbitrary regions of eukaryotic cells or tissue at molecular resolution. Despite significant progress in the sample preparation techniques over the past few years, the three dimensional reconstruction using electron tomography is not as simple as in plunge frozen samples for various reasons, but mainly due to the effects of irradiation on the sections and the resulting poor alignment. Here, we present a new algorithm, which can provide a useful three-dimensional marker model after investigation of hundreds to thousands of observations calculated using local cross-correlation throughout the tilt series. The observations are chosen according to their coherence to a particular model and assigned to virtual markers. Through this type of measurement a merit figure can be calculated, precisely estimating the quality of the reconstruction. The merit figures of this alignment method are comparable to those obtained with plunge frozen samples using fiducial gold markers. An additional advantage of the algorithm is the implicit detection of areas in the sections that behave as rigid bodies and can thus be properly reconstructed. 相似文献

A series of new ternary lanthanide complexes Ln(TFNB)3L (where Ln = Eu, Sm, Nd, Er, Yb, TFNB = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-naphthyl)-1,3-butanedionate, L = 1-(4-carbazolylphenyl)-2-pyridinyl benzimidazole) have been synthesised. The photoluminescence properties and TGA of them are described in detail. The trifluorinated ligand TFNB displays excellent antenna effect to sensitize the Ln(III) ions to emit characteristic spectra. The carbazole-containing ligand L is testified to be an outstanding synergistic ligand. The luminescence properties investigated and the quantum efficiency measured in dichloromethane solution of Eu(TFNB)3L and Sm(TFNB)3L show that the carbazole moiety is good at absorbing energy to sensitize the metal-centered emitting states and can make the complexes more rigid, provide efficient shielding of the Ln(III) core towards external quenching compared with the reference complexes of Eu(TFNB)3(Pybm) and Sm(TFNB)3(Pybm) (Pybm = 2-(2-pyridine)-benzimidazole) which have no carbazole unit. The quantum efficiency of Eu(TFNB)3L in air-equilibrated CH2Cl2 solution is calculated to be 14.8% by using air-equilibrated aqueous [Ru(bpy)3]2+·2Cl− solution as reference sample (Φstd = 2.8%). 相似文献

A linear beta(1-3),beta(1-6) glucan was detected in the periplasm of Azospirillum brasilense cells growing in a medium of low osmotic strength. This glucan was produced in vitro by purified bacterial inner membranes with UDP-glucose as the sugar donor in the presence of Mg2+. Growth in a high-osmotic-strength medium strongly reduced the amount of this glucan accumulated in the periplasmic space, and the inhibition was associated with a reduction in the enzymatic activity of the beta(1-3),beta(1-6) glucosyltransferase(s). 相似文献

The careers of William Ophuls (1871-1933), Myrnie Gifford (1892-1966), Charles Edward Smith (1904-1967) and William A. Winn (1903-1967) are briefly reviewed, with emphasis on their contributions to knowledge of Coccidioides and coccidioidomycosis. All were students with broad interests, and all were quite willing to suggest new concepts and classifications to replace those of their predecessors. 相似文献

High glycolysis, well known as "Warburg effect," is frequently observed in a variety of cancers. Whether the deregulation of miRNAs contributes to the Warburg effect remains largely unknown. Because miRNA regulates gene expression at both mRNA and protein levels, we constructed a gene functional association network, which allows us to detect the gene activity instead of gene expression, to integratively analyze the microarray data for gene expression and miRNA expression profiling and identify glycolysis-related gene-miRNA pairs deregulated in cancer. Hexokinase 2 (HK2), coding for the first rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, is among the top list of genes predicted and potentially regulated by multiple miRNAs including miR-143. Interestingly, miR-143 expression was inversely associated with HK2 protein level but not mRNA level in human lung cancer samples. miR-143, down-regulated by mammalian target of rapamycin activation, reduces glucose metabolism and inhibits cancer cell proliferation and tumor formation through targeting HK2. Collectively, we have not only established a novel methodology for gene-miRNA pair prediction but also identified miR-143 as an essential regulator of cancer glycolysis via targeting HK2. 相似文献

A region of the alpha-subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) of the Torpedo electric organ, containing residues 161-166, has been proposed to be a major antigenic site in the native AChR protein. We report the synthesis of a peptide corresponding to residues 159-169, which contains the proposed antigenic region. In quantitative radiometric titrations, radiolabelled anti-(native AChR) antibodies from three different species, rabbit, rat and dog, exhibited considerable binding (approx. 15% relative to native AChR) to Sepharose-immobilized peptide 159-169, but did not bind significantly to Sepharose-immobilized unrelated proteins or peptides. Specificity was further confirmed by the finding that no rabbit anti-AChR antibodies bound to the peptide after absorption with native AChR. These data indicate that the region 159-169 contains an antigenic site that is readily accessible in solubilized native Torpedo AChR. 相似文献

CV-159, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic++ + acid methyl 6-(5-phenyl-3-pyrazolyloxy)hexyl ester, is a dihydropyridine derivative that blocks the L-type Ca2+ channel and inhibits the calmodulin (CaM)-dependent pathway. In this study, we examined the effects of CV-159 on rat ischemic brain injury. CV-159 (5 and 10 mg/kg, p.o.) gave significant protection against delayed neuronal death in the hippocampal CA1 region after 15-min transient forebrain ischemia. In contrast, the Ca2+ antagonists nicardipine (1 and 10 mg/kg, p.o.) and nifedipine (1 mg/kg, i.p.) and the CaM antagonist N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7, 500 ng, i.c.v.) had no effect on this hippocampal neuronal death. CV-159 also diminished the size of the brain infarct after permanent middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, although physiological variables, including regional cerebral blood flow, were not affected. The increase in the water content of the infarcted cortex induced by MCA occlusion was significantly reduced by CV-159. On the other hand, neither nicardipine nor nifedipine affected the brain infarct size, volume or increased water content induced by MCA occlusion, as previously reported (A. Sauter and M. Rudin, Am. J. Hypertens. 4 121S-127S, 1991). These findings indicate that Ca2+ antagonists, such as nicardipine and nifedipine, and W-7 have no effect on rat ischemic brain injury. The results suggest that CV-159 protects against ischemic brain injury. This might be mediated by both blocking the L-type Ca2+ channel and inhibiting CaM-dependent function via Ca2+/CaM binding at a different binding site from that of W-7 to CaM (H. Umekawa, K. Yamakawa, K. Nunoki, N. Taira, T. Tanaka, and H. Hidaka, Biochem. Pharmacol. 37 3377-3381, 1988). 相似文献
