The regional difference in the carbohydrate components of the ductus epididymis epithelium of a lizard was delineated by means of 13 lectins. Basal cells expressed only N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Throughout the ductus, the secretory cells showed oligosaccharides with terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac)(2,6)galactose (Gal)/N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and internal mannose (Man) and/or glucose (Glc) in the whole cytoplasm, oligosaccharides terminating in Neu5Ac(2,6)Gal(1,3)GalNAc, Neu5Ac(2,6)Gal (1,4)GlcNAc, GalNAc, GlcNAc, and fucose (Fuc) in the supra-nuclear zone, and also glycans terminating in Neu5Ac(2,3)Gal (1,4)GlcNAc, Neu5Ac(2,6)Gal(1,3)GalNAc, Gal (1,4)GlcNAc on the luminal surface. In the caput and corpus regions, the supra-nuclear cytoplasm was characterized by terminal Gal(1,4)GlcNAc and GalNAc, the luminal surface by GalNAc and Gal. The Golgi zone, showing oligosaccharides with terminal Neu5Ac(2,3)Gal (1,4)GlcNAc, Neu5Ac(2,6)Gal (1,3)GalNAc, Neu5Ac(2,6)Gal (1,4)GlcNAc, and internal GlcNAc, expressed terminal Gal (1,4)GlcNAc and GalNAc in the caput, and terminal GalNAc in the corpus. The granules showed all the investigated carbohydrates in their peripheral zone except terminal GalNAc and Fuc, whereas internal Man/Glc and terminal Gal were expressed in the central core, and Fuc throughout the ductus, terminal GlcNAc in the caput and corpus, and terminal GalNAc only in the corpus. 相似文献

In this paper we analyse a stochastic model for invertebrate predation taking account of the predator's satiation. This model approximates Holling's hungry mantid model when handling time is negligible (see Part I). For this model we derive equations from which we can calculate the functional response and the variance of the total catch. Moreover we study a number of approximations which can be used to calculate these quantities in practical cases in a relatively simple manner.List of Notation

Methods are described for the observation, enrichment and isolation (from various freshwater samples) of bacteria of the generaPlanctomyces andPirella. Because immature buds were easily dislodged by shearing forces, slide culture techniques and direct microscopy of the budding process are recommended. An auxanographic technique to detect possible stimulation by soluble substrates was based on the diffusion of these substrates from peripherally placed crystals into the agar of a slide culture. Nearly every water sample investigated contained representatives of the generaPlanctomyces, Pirella, andBlastobacter, as well as budding cocci. Six enrichment techniques were tried; some enrichment experiments lasted several months. Allowing samples without added substrate to stand for a long time or generally employing nutrient-poor media were most successful. The petri dish method, taking advantage of attachment of many budding bacteria to glass surfaces, was especially useful for increasing the numbers ofPlanctomyces spp. Pure cultures obtained from freshwater samples were tentatively placed in the generaPlanctomyces, Pirella, andBlastobacter. One strain appeared to represent a new genus of gram-positive, budding, and nonprosthecate bacteria. 相似文献

We examined the effects of fertilizer application, especially the effects of fertigation and types of fertilizer (inorganic and organic) on yields and 15N and 13C values of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Saturn). Fertigation is a method in which an appropriate diluted liquid fertilizer is applied to the plants each time they are drip-irrigated. We developed a method of organic fertigation using corn steep liquor (CSL) as the liquid fertilizer, because it is an industrial byproduct of cornstarch manufacture and can be used very effectively. We compared fruit yield, mineral content, 15N value, and 13C value of tomatoes grown under three different fertilizer treatments, basal dressing: basal dressing with granular chemical fertilizer; inorganic fertigation: fertigation with liquid chemical fertilizer; and organic fertigation: fertigaion with CSL. Mineral contents of tomatoes grown with basal dressing were generally lower than those grown under either fertigation treatment. These results indicated that yields and mineral contents were influenced more by the method of fertilizer application than by whether the fertilizers were inorganic or organic. There were, however, significant differences in the 15N values of tomato fruits grown under different types of fertilizer applications, especially between inorganic and organic fertilizers. The 15N value of the chemical fertilizer used for basal dressing was 0.81 ± 0.45{}, that of the chemical fertilizer for fertigation was 0.00 ± 0.04{}, and that of CSL was 8.50 ± 0.71{}. The 15N values of the soils reflected the 15N values of the fertilizers. Moreover, the 15N values of the fruits corresponded to the 15N values of the applied fertilizers. The 15N values were 3.18 ± 1.34{} in the fruits grown with a basal dressing of chemical fertilizer, 0.30 ± 0.61 in those grown under inorganic fertigation, and 7.09 ± 0.68 in those grown under organic fertigation. On the other hand, although the 13C values in the soil also reflected the 13C values of the applied fertilizers, there was no significant difference in the 13C values of fruits among the different treatments. In conclusion, because the 15N values of fertilizers correlated well with those of the fruits, it may be possible to use 15N values as an indicator of organic products. 相似文献

A linear model for the genotypic covariance between relatives under assortative mating comprising the classical linear model and the model of selective assortative mating is proposed. The general conditions on the genetical and developmental mechanisms of quantitative characters, as well as on selection and the mating system, on which the model is based, are explicitly stated and discussed. A classification of different relationships is presented and it is shown that these conditions are sufficient to obtain the genotypic covariance between relatives only if the relationship is a combination of descendant-ancestor, full sib, Type 1 and Nth uncle-niece relationships. All the traditional relationships, i.e., those for which the covariances of the relatives have been obtained in the literature, fall into this category. These conditions also ensure that the regression of the individual's genotypic value on the genotypic value or phenotype of any of its ancestors is always linear.Paper No. 6619 of the Journal Series of the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, Raleigh, North Carolina.

The different subunits of the AP complexes have apparent molecular weights of Mr 18500 *AP, 18200 APB, 18000 AP, 17000 AP and 16500 *AP. This hitherto unrecognized microheterogeneity within the AP subunits of complexes B. and C. of Mastigocladus laminosus phycobilisomes could also be demonstrated and confirmed with the two phycocyanin complexes PC 642 and PC 646.

Summary The time course of binding of the fluorescent stilbene anion exchange inhibitor, DBDS (4,4-dibenzamido-2,2-stilbene disulfonate), to band 3 can be measured by the stopped-flow method. We have previously used the reaction time constant, DBDS, to obtain the kinetic constants for binding and, thus, to report on the conformational state of the band 3 binding site. To validate the method, we have now shown that the ID50 (0.3±0.1 m) for H2-DIDS (4,4-diisothiocyano-2,2-dihydrostilbene disulfonate) inhibition of DBDS is virtually the same as the ID50 (0.47±0.04 m) for H2-DIDS inhibition of red cell Cl– flux, thus relating DBDS directly to band 3 anion exchange. The specific glucose transport inhibitor, cytochalasin B, causes significant changes in DBDS, which can be reversed with intracellular, but not extracellular,d-glucose. ID50 for cytochalasin B modulation of DBDS is 0.1±0.2 m in good agreement withK
D
=0.06±0.005 m for cytochalasin B binding to the glucose transport protein. These experiments suggest that the glucose transport protein is either adjacent to band 3, or linked to it through a mechanism, which can transmit conformational information. Ouabain (0.1 m), the specific inhibitor of red cell Na+,K+-ATPase, increases red cell Cl– exchange flux in red cells by a factor of about two. This interaction indicates that the Na+,K+-ATPase, like the glucose transport protein, is either in contact with, or closely linked to, band 3. These results would be consistent with a transport proteincomplex, centered on band 3, and responsible for the entire transport process, not only the provision of metabolic energy, but also the actual carriage of the cations and anions themselves. 相似文献

The dose dependence of the rate of -induced transpositions and consequent dynamics of the MGE 412pattern after -irradiation were investigated in isogenic line 49 in generations F1, F12, F140, and F170. It was shown that the results on dose dependence of transpositions was very similar with the corresponding results of the classic works by Timofeeff-Ressovsky et al.(1935). It is suggested that the transcribed copies of retrotransposon 412cure -radiation-induced double-strand DNA breaks. The phenomenon of prolongation of MGE transposition induction during early generations after treatment was shown. In this period (F1–F12), the maximum transposition rate ( 2 × 10–2events per MGE copy, per haploid genome, per generation) and the maximum number of heterozygous MGE copies were achieved. In the late generations (F140–F170), the reduced induction level ( 10–3) was established. In the population of effective size N
e= 2000 individuals, this corresponds to the state when 1/4N
e, i.e., when the transposition flow prevails over the MGE copy loss by genetic drift. These data together with some indirect evidence argue for the hypothesis that the spontaneous transposition rate is proportional to the average number of heterozygous MGE copies per diploid genome. 相似文献

Structural studies of the glycopeptides of B-chain of cinnamomin – a type II ribosome-inactivating protein by nuclear magnetic resonance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Cinnamomin is a plant type II ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) isolated from the seeds of Cinnamomum camphora. It consists of two nonidentical polypeptide chains (A- and B-chain) held together through one disulfide linkage. Its A- and B-chain contain 0.3% and 3.9% sugars respectively. The B-chain of cinnamomin was digested by pronase E and then the liberated glycopeptides were separated from non-glycopeptides by gel filtration chromatography on a Bio-Gel P-4 column. Three crude glycopeptides were obtained by continuing chromatography over anion-exchange resin (AG1-X2) in the buffer of 2% pyridine-acetic acid (pH 8.3) with a polygradient elution system. Through further purification by the gel filtration chromatography and HPLC, three major glycopeptides, GP1, GP2 and GP3 were obtained. Mainly by two-dimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) including TOCSY, DQF-COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC, their primary structures were analyzed as: Man1,3Man1,6(Man1,3)(Xyl1,2)Man1,4GlcNAc1,4GlcNAc1-(Gly-)Asn-Asn-Thr(GP1), Man1,6(Man1,3)(Xyl1,2)Man1,4GlcNAc1,4(Fuc1,3)GlcNAc1-Asn-Ala-Thr(GP2),Man1,6(Man1,3)Man1,6(Man1,2 Man1,3)Man1,4GlcNAc1,4GlcNAc1-(Ala-)Asn-Gly-Thr(GP3). 相似文献

Effects of aquatic macrophytes on water quality and phytoplankton communities in shallow lakes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We investigated aquatic macrophytes, water quality, and phytoplankton biomass and species composition in three shallow lakes with different levels of vegetation cover and nutrient concentration in Kushiro Moor, during August 2000. Trapa japonica can live in a wide range of nutrient levels. This species forms an environment with a steeper extinction of light, higher concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), lower concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) near the bottom, and lower concentrations of nitrate+nitrite and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) than other vegetation types. The pH was much higher in a Polygonum amphibium community, and the DO near the bottom did not decrease compared to a T.japonica community in the summer. The relationship between chlorophyll a and the limiting nutrient (total phosphorus (TP) when total nitrogen (TN):TPis 10 and TN/10 when TN:TP is <10) significantly differed between lakes with and without submerged vegetation. The chlorophyll a concentrations at a given nutrient level were significantly lower in water with submerged macrophytes than in water without them. Correspondence analysis showed that the difference in phytoplankton community structure across sites was largely due to the presence or absence of submerged macrophytes, and the ordination of phytoplankton species in the lakes with submerged macrophytes is best explained by environmental gradients of TN, chlorophyll, pH and SRP. 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

Exchange-out of amide tritium from labeled -subunit of 33 complex of F0F1-ATP synthase was not accelerated by ATP, suggesting that hemagglutinin-type transition of coiled-coil structure did not occur in -subunit. Local topology of nucleotide binding site and switch II region of G-protein resemble those of F1- subunit and other proteins which catalyze ATP-triggered reactions. Probably, binding of nucleotide to F0F1-ATP synthase induces conformational change of the switch II-like region with transforming subunit structure from open to closed form and this transformation results in loss of hydrogen bonds with the subunit, thus enabling the subunit to move. 相似文献

An increase in the “inhibitor-β” content of detached wheat leaves following a period of wilting 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
S. T. C. Wright 《Planta》1969,86(1):10-20
Summary Wheat seedlings were grown under a 14-hour photoperiod and the first leaves excised at the end of the eighth dark period. The effect of treatments causing wilting on the inhibitor- content of such leaves was studied.When leaves were rapidly wilted (i.e. to a 6% fresh weight loss) and extracted immediately, the amount of inhibitor- per leaf was found to be the same as in fresh turgid leaves. However, when the leaves were maintained in a wilted condition in darkness for a period of 110 minutes, there was a marked increase in inhibitor- content.The greater the degree of wilting (i.e. up to about a 9% loss in fresh weight) the greater the eventual inhibitor- content. Moreover, the increment in inhibitor- was shown to be temperature dependent.The time lapse requirement and the temperature dependency of the inhibitor- formation suggest an enzymic conversion from a precursor.If a similar phenomenon occurs during the wilting of intact plants then the increase in this growth inhibitor might play a role in some of the physiological changes which accompany water stress. 相似文献

Summary
Phytophthora infestans has three kinds of somatic nuclei: an oval shaped nucleus (approx. 3.1×2.7 ) which stains diffusely except for a crescent shaped Feulgen positive cap which stains intensely; a granular nucleus whose contents are organized into a fairly constant number of stained bodies, and, a deeply staining condensed nucleus. The capped nucleus is thought to be metabolic or resting and the granular nucleus is thought to be dividing as it is most commonly found in hyphal tips. Attenuated forms of all three kinds of nuclei are found.Nuclear division is mitotic and intranuclear. Eight—ten chromosomes are seen at metaphase.Sporangia have a mean of 6.3 nuclei which is constant for age and strain of culture. Sporangia become multinucleate as a result of nuclear migration and not by division in the developing sporangium. Zoospores are usually uninucleate.The nuclear cap is persistent throughout nuclear division when it also divides. It is associated with flagella production and nuclear migration and has some of the properties of a blepharoplast. 相似文献

Growth and oxygen uptake of potato callus is faster in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere (70% oxygen, v/v; oxygen-callus) than in air (20% oxygen, v/v; air-callus). Especially the non-mitochondrial, so-called residual respiration is increased in oxygen-callus. The capacities of the mitochondrial respiratory pathways (cytochrome pathway, Vcyt and alternative pathway, Valt) are also higher in this callus. In both callus types only a small part of the alternative pathway capacity is used in uninhibited respiration. The lower oxygen uptake of air-callus at normal air oxygen pressures is partially due to diffusional impedance. Measurement of the respiratory parameters of air-callus in oxygen-saturated medium leads to higher values than measurement in air-saturated medium, although these values are still lower than those of oxygen-callus.ATP-production was calculated from the oxygen-uptake data and compared with the dry weight production of the callus to give values of 10.0 and 10.8 g dry weight produced.-mol ATP-1, for air-callus and oxygen-callus respectively. As no harmful side-effects are observed, cultivation of callus under elevated oxygen pressures may be useful, when rapid callus-growth is necessary.Abbreviations AA

Zusammenfassung Es wird das Vorkommen der sauren Phosphatase (sP) und der -Glucu-ronidase (-Glu) in den Lysosomen von Rattennieren vom 16. Embryonaltag (ET) bis 33. Lebenstag (LT) sowie von erwachsenen unbehandelten, kastrierten und nach der Kastration mit gleich- bzw. gegengeschlechtlichen Hormonen behandelten Tieren untersucht. Bis zur Geburt entwickelt sich die lysosomale sP und -Glu in den einzelnen Nephronabschnitten und Sammelrohren annähernd parallel. Am 1. LT nimmt in den S1-Segmenten der iuxtamedullären Nephrone Zahl, Durchmesser und Aktivität der sP positiven Lysosomen sprunghaft zu, um zwischen 5. und 9. LT wieder schnell abzunehmen. Die Aktivität der -Glu steigt dagegen kontinuierlich an. Zwischen 24. und 25. LT nimmt die Aktivität der -Glu in den Lysosomen der S1- und S3-Segmente ab, die der sP deutlich zu. Geschlechtsunterschiede treten bei der sP zum ersten Mal am 18. LT in den S3-Segmenten, bei der -Glu am 25. LT in den S1-Segmenten auf. Das ausdifferenzierte Enzymmuster für sP und -Glu kann erst bei erwachsenen Tieren nachgewiesen werden. Dann fallen bei beiden Geschlechtern unter den Lysosomen der S1-Segmente zwei Größenklassen besonders auf: a. große Lysosomen (beim Weibchen 7 m, beim Männchen 5 m) und b. kleinere Lysosomen (bei beiden Geschlechtern 2–3 m). Die großen Lysosomen sind bei Weibchen zahlreicher und sP aktiver als bei Männchen. In den S2-Segmenten (Durchmesser der Lysosomen 1,5–2,5 m) ist die -Glu in den Lysosomen der Männchen aktiver als bei den Weibchen; jedoch sind die Geschlechtsunterschiede in S2 geringer als in S1 In den S3-Segmenten sind sP und -Glu in den Lysosomen weiblicher Nieren aktiver als in denen männlicher Tiere. — In den übrigen Abschnitten des Nephrons und in den Sammelrohren bestehen keine Geschlechtsunterschiede. — Die Lysosomen der Sammelrohre haben eine höhere Aktivität für -Glu als für sP.Durch Kastration werden die Geschlechtsunterschiede geringer, bleiben aber grundsätzlich erhalten; in den S1-Segmenten können jedoch Lysosomen über 2,5 m nicht mehr nachgewiesen werden. Nach Testosteronbehandlung männlicher Kastrate nimmt die Aktivität der sP und -Glu gegenüber unbehandelten Kastraten ab. Bei kastrierten weiblichen Tieren treten nach Testosteronbehandlung wieder große Lysosomen auf, das Enzymmuster unbehandelter Tiere wird jedoch nicht erreicht. Östradiolbehandlung kastrierter Tiere führt bei beiden Geschlechtern in etwa zu einer Restitution der normalen Enzymverteilung, insbesondere bei den Männchen. Bei den Weibchen sind die Lysosomen größer und reagieren intensiver als bei Normaltieren, die Anzahl der Lysosomen scheint aber geringer zu sein.Insgesamt ergibt sich, daß die Lysosomen und die lysosomalen Enzyme unter dem Einfluß der Geschlechtshormone stehen.
On the cytochemistry of lysosomes in the rat kidney under normal and experimental conditions
Summary Acid phosphatase (ap) and -glucuronidase (-glu) have been investigated in the lysosomes of the rat kidney between the 16th embryonic and 33th postnatal day. Furthermore these enzymes were demonstrated in the kidney of adult normal as well as of orchiectomized or ovarectomized rats following treatment with homosexual and heterosexual hormones. — Up till birth, the development of ap and -glu runs nearly parallel to one another in the nephron and in the collecting tubules. At the first day of life an irregular increase with respect to number, diameter, and activity of lysosomes containing ap can be observed in the S1 segments of the iuxtamedullary nephrons; a decrease occurs between the 5th and 9th postnatal day. On the contrary the -glu activity increases continously. Between the 24th and 25th day of life its activity decreases in the lysosomes of the S1 and S2 segments; the ap activity, however, increases. For the first time sex-specific differences concerning the distribution pattern of ap can be revealed around the 18th day of life in the S3 segments; in the case of -glu ca one week later in the S1 segments. The final ap and -glu pattern only exists in the kidney of adult animals. Here, in the male and female kidney two classes of lysosomes exhibit striking peculiarities in the S1 segments: a. big lysosomes (in male 5 m, in female 7 m in diameter) b. small lysosomes (in both sexes 2–3 m in diameter). The big lysosomes are more numerous. Moreover their ap activity is higher in female rats in comparison with the male kidney. In the S2 segments (lysosomal diameter 1.5–2.5 m) the -glu activity of male rats surpasses that of females. However sex differences in the S2 are as obvious as in the S1 segments. In S3 the strongest ap and -glu reaction appear in female kidneys. — In the other parts of the nephron and in the collecting tubules sexspecific differences have never been observed. — In the lysosomes of the collecting tubules more -glu than ap activity can be detected.Castration induces only a decrease of sex differences, but they do not disappear completely; in the S1 segments lysosomes being bigger than 2.5 m are absent. In male castrates treated with testosterone the activity of ap and -glu is lowered in comparison with unsubstituted animals. Following application of testosterone the big lysosomes reappear in overectomized rats; but the enzyme pattern of untreated animals will never be obtained. In both sexes treatment of castrated animals with estradiol is accompanied by restitution of the normal ap and -glu pattern especially in males. In the female kidney lysosomes are bigger and more active in comparison with the controls; the number of lysosomes seems to be reduced. Summarizing strong evidence occurs that in the rat kidney lysosomes and lysosomal enzymes are controlled by sex hormones.相似文献

As part of a program to explore the structural requirement of N-glycans in the carbohydrate-mediated biological interactions, N-linked pentasaccharide core structure was stereochemically modified in terms of glycosidic linkage. Three isomers, -D-Man-(13)-[-D-Man-(16)]--D-Man-(14)--D-GlcNAc-(14)--D-GlcNAc-L-Asn, -D-Man-(13)-[-D-Man-(16)]--D-Man-(14)--D-GlcNAc-(14)--D-GlcNAc-L-Asn, and -D-Man-(13)-[-D-man-(16)]--D-Man-(14)--D-GlcNAc-(14)--D-GlcNAc-L-Asn, were synthesized. Synthesis of the pentasaccharide with natural linkage is also described. 相似文献
