Intraspecific diversity and molecular relations among regional populations were studied for 16 moss species in three European regions, Central Europe, Southern Scandinavia, and Northern Scandinavia, based on internal transcribed spacer and rpl16 G2 intron. The range of nuclear diversity values found is mainly similar to that of other organisms, and to that found in bryophytes from other regions, but higher diversity was found in Isothecium alopecuroides (Dubois) Isov. No correlations were found between diversity values or number of haplotypes unique to a region and morphological diversity, geographical distribution range, or regional frequency, possibly since this study did not include sufficiently rare species to reflect the factors affecting such species. Finally, no general differences in diversity levels were found among the three studied regions. When haplotype composition is considered, differences were found among the regions for some species, but again no general inter-regional pattern of intraspecific relationships exists. While it is clear that intraspecific variation is crucial to consider in biodiversity conservation contexts since a high proportion of the total diversity is found below the species level, it is also evident that it is necessary to investigate each individual species rather than to rely on what has been found for other taxa. 相似文献

We have identified a new bacterial protein domain that we hypothesise binds to peptidoglycan. This domain is called the YARHG domain after the most highly conserved sequence-segment. The domain is found in the extracellular space and is likely to be composed of four alpha-helices. The domain is found associated with protein kinase domains, suggesting it is associated with signalling in some bacteria. The domain is also found associated with three different families of peptidases. The large number of different domains that are found associated with YARHG suggests that it is a useful functional module that nature has recombined multiple times. 相似文献

Several peptides have been found in the haemolymph which are antigenically similar to peptides found in the terminal oöcyte during vitellogenesis. There appear to be two major peptides. labeled A and D, in the oöcyte with a stoichiometry of A2D1. These two proteins are also found in the haemolymph. Several other prominent proteins found in the haemolymph during the six day cycle are not found to be immunochemically similar to yolk antisera.The possibility of a precursor protein found in both the haemolymph and terminal oöcyte with a molecular weight of 189,000 is discussed. 相似文献

Although many SINE families have been identified in the animal kingdom, only a few SINE families have been identified in plants, and their distribution is somewhat limited. The Au SINE (Au) has been found discontinuously in basal angiosperms, monocots, and eudicots. In this study, we examined the presence of the Au in gymnosperms and ferns by PCR using internal primers for Au. As a result, we found Au in a gymnosperm species, Ephedra ciliata. Therefore, Au was supposed to be present in the common ancestor of angiosperms and gymnosperms. The Au in E. ciliate was 15 bp shorter than the consensus sequence, which is similar to the Au SINE found in Glycine. However, the 3'end of the Au found in E. ciliate was more similar to the 3'end of the Medicago-type Au than that of the Glycine-type Au. A phylogenetic tree indicated that the Au sequence from E. ciliate is more closely related to the sequence found in Glycine than that found in Medicago/Lotus. These results indicated that Au were present in both angiosperms and gymnosperms. 相似文献

Component C of the methylcoenzyme M methylreductase system contains bound 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate (HS-HTP) 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The structure of component B of the methylcoenzyme M methylreductase system of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was recently found to be 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate (HS-HTP). The work described here demonstrates that this compound is found in two forms: enzyme-free and enzyme-bound. HS-HTP was found to be bound to component C of the methylcoenzyme M methylreductase system. The cofactor extracted from the protein by heat denaturation was found to comigrate with the mixed disulfide of HS-HTP and 2-mercaptoethanol by high-performance liquid chromatography, suggesting HS-HTP is not modified in the bound state. 相似文献

Electrocompression has been measured in lipid bilayers made by apposition of two monolayers. The capacitance C(V), as a function of membrane potential, V, was found to be well described by C(V) = C(O) [1 + alpha(V + delta psi)2] where C(O) is the capacitance at V = O, alpha is the fractional increase in capacitance per square volt, and delta psi is the surface potential difference. In lipid bilayers made from monolayers alpha has a value of 0.02 V-2, which is ca. 500-fold smaller than the value found in solvent containing membranes. In asymmetric bilayers made of one neutral and one negatively charged monolayer, delta psi values were found to be those expected from independent measurements of surface charge density. If the fractional increase in capacitance found here is a good approximation to that of biological membranes, nonlinear capacitative charge displacement derived from electrostriction is expected to be less than 1% of the total gating charge displacement found in squid axons. 相似文献

Positron lifetimes have been determined in phospholipid dispersions. In fluid phosphatidylcholines, a lifetime of 3.3 ns is found, and a lifetime of 2.8 ns is found for frozen phosphatidylcholines. In dispersions where fluid and frozen phases coexist due to lateral phase separation, an intermediate lifetime is found. 相似文献

Previous work with tetanized and relaxed muscle has shown a correlation between active tension and the structure of the Z-band. This suggests that there is a correlation between the cross-bridge binding in the A-band and the structure of the Z-band. Using electron microscopy and optical diffraction we have examined this correlation in glycerinated muscle in rigor and in unstimulated intact muscle. We have found that the Z-bands of muscles in rigor always show the basketweave form, while those of the unstimulated muscles always show the small square form. The basketweave form found in rigor muscles is similar in form and dimension to that found in tetanized muscle. Thus it appears that the small square form of the Z-band is found in physiological states with little cross-bridge binding and the basketweave form is found in states with a high degree of cross-bridge binding. 相似文献

The effect of competition between species is considered in terms of a mathematical model. It is found that, except for special
relations among the parameters, only one species should remain, as is found experimentally. It is also found that unless new
factors arise in the competition, one can calculate an index to predict which of the two species is most likely to become
extinct. The index involves quantities measured from isolated populations. A preliminary extimate yields satisfactory values
when compared with the experimental results of competition. 相似文献

The research describe the big amount of ticks of the Amblyomma genus, found on bovines through monthly samplings carried out in ten farms in eight ecological zones (EZ) of Costa Rica. Ticks larger than 4 mm were picked up from the right side of the animals during the visit. The study compiled meteorological information for some farms located in the experiment, showing that the most fluctuant variable is rainfall. The most important Amblyomma species found was A. cajennense. Amblyomma nymphs were found only from January to May, which coincides with the lower humidity season in the rain seasonality area; as for it is expected only one generation per year. In the lab work Amblyomma nymphs are kept to measure the moulting season and the surviving time under controlled conditions, but no major differences were found between both sexes. The surviving periods show that it is not possible to do a grazing land handling, in order to control this genus species. Adults of the genus Amblyomma are present through all the year, not showing any specific preference for a season. The research divided the investigation areas in rain seasonability and not-seasonality systems. The highest amount of Amblyomma is found given in the rain seasonality system or of pacific influence. A. maculatum is present only in the EZ of Tropical Humid Forest transition to pre-mountainous. Likewise, Ixodes boliviensis is found in the EZ of low mountainous Very Humid Forest. 相似文献

Thermoplasma acidophilum is a thermoacidophilic archaeon that grows optimally at pH1.8 and 56°C and has no cell wall. Plasmid pTA1 was found in some strains of the species. We sequenced plasmid pTA1 and analyzed the open reading frames (ORFs). pTA1 was found to be a circular DNA molecule of 15,723 bp. Eighteen ORFs were found; none of the gene products except ORF1 had sequence similarity to known proteins. ORF1 showed similarity to Cdc6, which is involved in genome-replication initiation in Eukarya and Archaea. T. acidophilum has two Cdc6 homologues in the genome. The homologue found in pTA1 is most similar to Tvo3, one of the three Cdc6 homologues found in the genome of Thermoplasma volcanium, among all of the Cdc6 family proteins. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that plasmid pTA1 is possibly originated from the chromosomal DNA of Thermoplasma. 相似文献

The authors of models concerning cooperation found an interesting application point in mutualism and symbiosis. Phenomena which are to be found in symbiosis are integrated by the various models in relation to the 'Prisoner's Dilemma': 'cost-benefit' ratio components, signals, neighbourhood interaction or reciprocity. Reciprocal altruism is found in symbiosis, but others strategies seem more to reflect human societies, where choice is unrestricted. It is very difficult to give a value to cost and benefit equilibriums. The biological environment interferes and a model based on a dominant strategy is often limited or insufficient to report on the living system's evolution. 相似文献

Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are found in many species of Fabaceae. The aim of this work is to describe the internal morphology of the EFNs from species of Fabaceae found in areas of dry‐seasonal forest in north‐eastern Brazil. All species of Fabaceae with EFNs found were collected and samples were submitted to conventional techniques for anatomical and scanning electronic microscopy analysis. EFNs were found in 35 species, of which 32 were examined anatomically. All types have epidermal cells, secretory tissues and vascular bundles in the EFNs. Sclerenchymatous cells were found between the secretory tissues and the vascular tissues, with a few exceptions. The function of these cells is not clear; however, a role in the transportation of the sap in the nectary or with the support of the secretory tissue is possible. The nectar is released through glandular trichomes, secretory pores or even by breaking the epidermal cells and cuticle. The internal patterns found in the EFNs from different species and genera can provide important information for taxonomic and evolutionary studies in the family. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 163 , 87–98. 相似文献

Selective interaction of cytoskeletal proteins with liposomes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A protein kinase activity analogous to that found in interferon-treated HeLa cells is detectable in human plasma rich in platelets. This kinase activity is manifested by the phosphorylation of an endogenous Mr 72000 protein which could be conveniently assayed after partial purification on poly(G)-Sepharose. Here, we show that the protein kinase system in the plasma consists of at least 2 components. The protein kinase is found to be localised in the platelets whereas most of the substrate (the Mr 72000 protein) is found free in the plasma and a fraction of it associated with the surface of platelets. 相似文献

The design and operation of a clinical information system called HOIS (House Officer Information System) is described. Information about the management of 78 common acute medical problems is available to the user from this system. An analysis is presented of the medical problems found in 631 medical in-patients. It is reported that 98% of patients had at least one of the 78 problems found in HOIS's data base, and that 82% of all problems in these patients were found in this database. 相似文献

Although the centrosome has an essential role in mitosis, its molecular components have not been fully elucidated. Here, we describe the molecular cloning and characterization of the human gene NTKL, which encodes an evolutionarily conserved kinase-like protein. NTKL mRNA is found ubiquitously in human tissues. NTKL is located on 11q13 and is mapped around chromosomal breakpoints found in several carcinomas, suggesting that NTKL dysfunction may be involved in carcinogenesis. Alternative splicing generates two variant forms of NTKL mRNA that encode protein isoforms with internal deletions. When fused to green fluorescent protein, the full-length product and one of the variant proteins are found in cytoplasm. The other variant product also exists in the cytoplasm during interphase, but is found in the centrosomes during mitosis. Endogenous NTKL protein is also localized to the centrosomes during mitosis. This cell-cycle-dependent centrosomal localization suggests that NTKL is involved in centrosome-related cellular functions. 相似文献

The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent inhibitors of the TrkA kinase is presented. A homology model is created to aid in the enhancement of potency and selectivity of isothiazole inhibitors found during a high-throughput screen. Three different syntheses are utilized to make diverse analogs within this series. Aminoheterocycles are found to be good urea surrogates, whereas bicyclic substituents on the C3 thio group were found to be extremely potent TrkA inhibitors in kinase and cell assays. 相似文献

The distribution of 18 species of Calanoida Copepoda found in the estuaries of the Brazilian coast is analyzed. A slight tendency of a latitudinal decrease in diversity, from North to South is found. Salinity ranges from the different species are discussed and in some cases interspecific vicariance patterns are found. Two basic types of estuaries of the Brazilian coast are characterized on the basis of environmental parameters and population dynamics. 相似文献
