A novel syrup containing neofructo-oligosaccharides was produced from sucrose (Brix 70) by whole cells of Penicillium citrinum. The efficiency of fructo-oligosaccharides production was more than 55% and those of the main carbohydrate components, 1-kestose (Fruf 21Fruf 21 Glc), nystose (Fruf 21Fruf 21 Fruf 21 Glc) and neokestose (Fruf 26 Glc12 Fruf), were 22, 14 and 11%, respectively.  相似文献

Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA. Reactions involving ImpU gave smaller yields.Abbreviations A adenosine - U uridine - Im imidazole - MeIm 1-methyl-imidazole - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - pA adenosine 5-phosphate - pU uridine 5-phosphate - Ap adenosine cyclic 2:3-phosphate - ATP adenosine 5-triphosphate - AppA P1,P2-diadenosine 5-diphosphate - pNp (N = A,U) nucleotide 2(3), 5-diphosphate - ImpA adenosine 5-phosphoreimidazolide - ImpU uridine 5-phosphorimidazolide - A 2pA adenylyl-[25]-adenosine - A 3pA adenylyl-[35]-adenosine - pA 2pA 5-phospho-adenylyl-[25]-adenosine - pA 3pA 5-phospho-adenylyl-[35]-adenosine - pUpU 5-phospho-uridylyl-uridine - pApU 5-phospho-adenylyl-uridine - pUpA 5-phospho-uridylyladenine - (pA)n (n, 2,3,4,) oligoadenylates with 5 terminal phosphate - ImpApA 5-phosphorimidazolide of adenylyl adenosine - (pA) 5+ pentamer and higher oligoadenylates with 5 terminal phosphate - (Ap)nA (n = 2,3,4) oligoadenylates without terminal phosphates In the following we do not specify the nature of the internucleotide linkageIn the following we do not specify the nature of the internucleotide linkage  相似文献

TNF alpha is required for hypoxia-mediated right ventricular hypertrophy   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Hypoxia has been shown to activate the pleiotropic cytokine TNF in the lung. TNF in turn, is known to induce pulmonary vasoconstriction. Additional effects of this cytokine in hypoxia mediated cardiopulmonary remodeling are poorly understood. To further evaluate the role of TNF in chronic hypoxia we exposed TNF null (TNF–/–) and wild-type mice to three weeks of hypobaric hypoxia (10% O2). Equivalent erythocytosis (Hematocrit increased by 40%) developed in both genetic backgrounds. In contrast, right ventricular systolic pressure increased in response to three weeks of hypoxia in the wild-type mice ( 75%), yet was unaltered in the TNF–/– mice. Concomitantly right ventricular hypertrophy was attenuated in the TNF–/– mice (35 ± 5% increase) when compared to wild-type mice (124 ± 6% increase p < 0.001, n 20). Interestingly in both strains the lung wet weights increased to a similar degree in response to hypoxia. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that TNF is an integral autocoid in chronic hypoxia mediated right ventricular hypertrophy. Moreover, additional components of cardiopulmonary remodeling may be regulated by TNF signaling as suggested by the negligible right ventricular systolic pressure response to hypoxia in the absence of TNF.  相似文献

The relative roles of the two structural aspects of nonenzymic glycation sites of hemoglobin A, namely the ease with which the amino groups could form the aldimine adducts and the propensity of the microenvironments of the respective aldimines to facilitate the Amadori rearrangement, in dictating the site selectivity of nonenzymic glycation with aldotriose has been investigated. The chemical reactivity of the amino groups of hemoglobin A forin vitro reductive glycation with aldotriose is distinct from that in the nonreductive mode. The reactivity of amino groups of hemoglobin A toward reductive glycation (i.e., propensity for aldimine formation) decreases in the order Val-1(), Val-1(), Lys-66(), Lys-61(), and Lys-16(). The overall reactivity of hemoglobin A toward nonreductive glycation decreased in the order Lys-16(), Val-1(), Lys-66(), Lys-82(), Lys-61(), and Val-1(). Since the aldimine is the common intermediate for both the reductive and nonreductive modification, the differential selectivity of protein for the two modes of glycation is clearly a reflection of the propensity of the microenvironments of nonenzymic glycation sites to facilitate the isomerization reaction (i.e., Amadori rearrangement). A semiquantitative estimate of this propensity of the microenvironment of the nonenzymic glycation sites has been obtained by comparing the nonreductive (nonenzymic) and reductive modification at individual glycation sites. The microenvironment of Lys-16() is very efficient in facilitating the rearrangement and the relative efficiency decreases in the order Lys-16(), Lys-82(), Lys-66(), Lys-61(), Val-1(), and Val-1(). The propensity of the microenvironment of Lys-16() to facilitate the Amadori rearrangement of the aldimine is about three orders of magnitude higher than that of Val-1() and is about 50 times higher than that of Val-1(). The extent of nonenzymic glycation at the individual sites is modulated by various factors, such as thepH, concentration of aldotriose, and the concentration of the protein. The nucleophiles—such as tris, glycine ethyl ester, and amino guanidine—inhibit the glycation by trapping the aldotriose. The nonenzymic glycation inhibitory power of nucleophile is directly related to its propensity to form aldimine. Thus, the extent of inhibition of nonenzymic glycation at a given site by a nucleophile directly reflects the relative role ofpK a of the site in dictating the glycation at that site. The nonenzymic glycation of an amino group of a protein is an additive/synergestic consequence of the propensity of the site to form aldimine adducts on one hand, and the propensity of its microenvironment to facilitate the isomerization of the aldimines to ketoamines on the other. The isomerization potential of microenvironment plays the dominant role in dictating the site specificity of the nonenzymic glycation of proteins.  相似文献

Growth rings (GR) in vertebral centra of 15 whale sharks, Rhincodon typus, four female (418–750cm precaudal length), 10 male (422–770cm), and one of unknown sex (688cm), were examined using x-radiography. GR counts were made from scanned images and count precision was determined using the average percentage error index (4.19%) and the index of precision D (3.31%). In females, counts ranged from 19 GR (418cm) to 27 GR (750cm); in males from 20 GR (670cm) to 31 GR (770cm). Three mature males had 20 GR (670cm), 24 GR (744cm) and 27 GR (755cm). A female with 22 GR (445cm) was adolescent. There was a linear relationship between centrum dorsal diameter and body length, and back-calculated body lengths at number of GR are presented. A linear relationship between body length and number of GR prevented the calculation of von Bertalanffy parameters from either observed or back-calculated values.  相似文献

Summary Suspensions of endocrine pancreas cells were prepared by shaking collagenase-isolated rat islets of Langerhans in calcium-free buffer. When incubated with 1.0 mM substrate at pH 7.4, the cells split,P i from 5-AMP at a rate of 87 nmol/h per g DNA, and from-glycerophosphate at a rate of 25 nmol/h per g DNAK m for 5 AMP was about 54 M. Adenosine or theophylline inhibited the 5-AMP hydrolysis. Homogenization of the cells increased the activity toward 5-AMP by 23% and that toward-glycerophosphate by 115%. Injecting rats with cortisone had no effect on the 5-AMP hydrolysis by whole cells but significantly increased the activity in cell homogenates; the intracellular activity toward 5-AMP was more than doubled by the cortisone treatment. Staining whole islet cells for 5-AMP-splitting activity resulted in a demarcation of the cell periphery in control rats. Cells from cortisone-treated rats showed heavier deposits of reaction product, and their cell periphery did not stand out as clearly. It is suggested that 5-nucleotidase is largely an ectoenzyme in normal rat islet cells. The cells also contain an as yet unidentified intracellular phosphatase that seems to be solely responsible for the increased hydrolysis of 5-AMP in cortisone-treated rats.  相似文献

Negative-ion fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry has been used in the characterization of non-, mono-, di- and trisulfated disaccharides from heparin and heparan sulfate. The positional isomers of the sulfate group of monosulfated disaccharides were distinguished from each other by negative-ion fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectra, which provide an easy way of identifying the positional isomers. This fast atom bombardment collision induced dissociation mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry technique was also applied successfully to the characterization of di- and trisulfated disaccharides.Abbreviations FABMS fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry - CID collision induced dissociation - MIKE mass analysed ion kinetic energy - MS/MS mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - UA d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid - CS chondroitin sulfate - DS dermatan sulfate - HA hyaluronan - Hep heparin - HS heparan sulfate - UA(14) GlcNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcN6S 2-amino-2-deoxy-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcN 2-amino-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcN6S 2-amino-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcNS 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA(14)GlcNS6S 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNS 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose - UA2S(14)GlcNS6S 2-deoxy-2-sulfamino-4-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-glucose - UA(13)GalNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-Gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-galatose - UA(13)GalNAc4S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-4-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA(13)GalNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA2S(13)GalNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-galactose - UA2S(13)GalNAc4S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-4-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA2S(13)GalNAc6S 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(2-O-sulfo--d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA(13)GalNAcDiS 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-4,6-di-O-sulfo-d-galactose - UA(13)GlcNAc 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-d-glucose.  相似文献

Unravelling the factors that contribute to the formation and the stability of -sheet structure in peptides is a subject of great current interest. A -hairpin, the smallest -sheet motif, consists of two antiparallel hydrogen-bonded -strands linked by a loop region. We have performed a statistical analysis on protein -hairpins showing that the most abundant types of -hairpins, 2:2, 3:5 and 4:4, have characteristic patterns of 13C and 13C conformational shifts, as expected on the basis of their and angles. This fact strongly supports the potential value of 13C and 13C conformational shifts as a means to identify -hairpin motifs in peptides. Their usefulness was confirmed by analysing the patterns of 13C and 13C conformational shifts in 13 short peptides, 10–15 residues long, that adopt -hairpin structures in aqueous solution. Furthermore, we have investigated their potential as a method to quantify -hairpin populations in peptides.  相似文献

UDP-GlcNAc: Man3R 2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-T I; EC 2.4.1.101) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of complex and hybrid N-glycans. Rat liver GlcNAc-T I has been purified more than 25,000-fold (M r 42,000). TheV max for the pure enzyme with [Man6(Man3)Man6](Man3)Man4GlcNAc4GlcNAc-Asn as substrate was 4.6 µmol min–1 mg–1. Structural analysis of the enzyme product by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy proved that the enzyme adds anN-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue in 1–2 linkage to the Man3Man-terminus of the substrate. Several derivatives of Man6(Man3)Man-R, a substrate for the enzyme, were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors. An unsubstituted equatorial 4-hydroxyl and an axial 2-hydroxyl on the -linked mannose of Man6(Man3)Man-R are essential for GlcNAc-T I activity. Elimination of the 4-hydroxyl of the 3-linked mannose (Man) of the substrate increases theK M 20-fold. Modifications on the 6-linked mannose or on the core structure affect mainly theK M and to a lesser degree theV max, e.g., substitutions of the Man6 residue at the 2-position by GlcNAc or at the 3- and 6-positions by mannose lower theK M, whereas various other substitutions at the 3-position increase theK M slightly. Man6(Man3)4-O-methyl-Man4GlcNAc was found to be a weak inhibitor of GlcNAc-T I.Abbreviations BSA Bovine serum albumin - Bn benzyl - Fuc, F l-fucose - Gal, G d-galactose - GalNAc, GA N-acetyl-d-galactosamine - Glc d-glucose - GlcNAc, Gn N-acetyl-d-glucosamine - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - Man, M d-mannose - mco 8-methoxycarbonyl-octyl, (CH2)8 COOOCH3 - Me methyl - MES 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonate - NMR nuclear magnetic resonance - PMSF phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride - pnp p-nitrophenyl - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate - T transferase - Tal d-talose - Xyl d-xylose; - {0, 2 + F} Man6 (GlcNAc2Man3) Man4GlcNAc4 (Fuc6) GlcNAc - {2, 2} GlcNAc2Man6 (GlcNAc2Man3) Man4GlcNAc4GlcNAc; M5-glycopeptide, Man6 (Man3) Man6 (Man3) Man4 GlcNAc4GlcNAc-Asn Enzymes: GlcNAc-transferase I, EC 2.4.1.101; GlcNAc-transferase II, EC 2.4.1.143; GlcNAc-transferase III, EC 2.4.1.144; GlcNAc-transferase IV, EC 2.4.1.145; GlcNAc-transferase V, UDP-GlcNAc: GlcNAc2 Man6-R (GlcNAc to Man) 6-GlcNAc-transferase; GlcNAc-transferase VI, UDP-GlcNAc: GlcNAc6(GlcNAc2) Man6-R (GlcNAc to Man) 4-GlcNAc-transferase; Core 1 3-Gal-transferase, EC 2.4.1.122; 4-Gal-transferase, EC 2.4.1.38; 3-Gal-transferase, UDP-Gal: GlcNAc-R 3-Gal-transferase; blood group i 3-GlcNAc-transferase, EC 2.4.1.149; blood group I 6-GlcNAc-transferase, UDP-GlcNAc: GlcNAc3Gal-R (GlcNAc to Gal) 6-GlcNAc-transferase.  相似文献

Clostridium perfringens possesses two sialidase isoenzymes of different molecular weight. Almost 90% of the gene encoding the large form was found on a 3.1 kb chromosomal fragment (Sau3AI) of strain A99 by hybridization with probes developed from the N-terminal protein sequence and from commonly conserved sialidase motifs (Asp-boxes), whereas the remaining 3-terminal part was detected on a 2.1 kb fragment (Hind III) of chromosomal DNA. After combination of both fragments, the resultingE. coli clones expressed sialidase activity, the properties of the recombinant sialidase corresponding with those of the wild type enzyme. The entire chromosomal fragment of 3665 bp encompasses the complete sialidase gene of 2082 bp corresponding to 694 amino aids, from which a molecular weight of 72956 for the mature protein can be deduced. The first 41 amino acids are mostly hydrophobic and probably represent a signal peptide. The sialidase structural gene follows a non-coding region with an inverted repeat and a ribosome-binding site. Upstream from the regulatory region, another open reading frame (ORF) was detected. The 3-terminus of the sialidase structural gene is directly followed by a further ORF of unknown function, which possibly encodes a putative permease or the acylneuraminate pyruvate-lyase involved in sialic acid catabolism. The primary structure of the large isoenzyme is very similar to the sialidase ofClostridium septicum (55% identical amino acids), whereas the homology with the small form of the same species is comparatively low (26%).  相似文献

The occurrence of adenosine 5-triphosphate-3-diphosphate-synthesizing activity was detected in five strains of actinomycetes; Streptomyces morookaensis, Streptomyces aspergilloides, Streptomyces hachijoensis, Actinomyces violascens and Streptoverticillium septatum, out of 825 strains of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and imperfecti. Purine nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase were extracellularly excreted associating with the cell growth, and were purified partially or to apparent homogeniety from the culture filtrate. The enzymes are a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 18000–26000 and synthesize adenosine, guanosine and inosine 5-phosphate (mono, di or tri)-3-diphosphate such as pApp, ppApp, pppApp, pGpp, ppGpp, pppGpp and pppIpp by transferring a pyrophosphoryl group from the 5-position of ATP, dATP and pppApp to the 3-position of purine nucleotides in the presence of a divalent cation and in alkaline state.Abbreviations pppApp adenosine 5-triphosphate 3-diphosphate - ppApp adenosine 5-diphosphate 3-diphosphate - pApp adenosine 5-monophosphate 3-diphosphate - pppGpp guanosine 5-triphosphate 3-diphosphate  相似文献

Summary Cellulase genes of the ruminant micro-organism Ruminococcus flavefaciens strain 186 have been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli using the bacteriophage vector NM1149. Twenty-six clones showed expression of endo--1,4-d-glucanases and were divided into four groups according to their insert sizes of approximately 2, 3, 4 or 9 kilobases (kb). Two of the clones with 4 kb inserts also showed exo--1,4-d glucanase activity while two clones with 9 kb inserts showed -glucosidase activity. One of the clones with 9 kb inserts (M903) showed the activities of all three cellulase activities. In addition, two of the 4 kb-insert clones and one 9 kb-insert clone degraded Avicel (PH101).  相似文献

Some components of natural foods may enhance or inhibit prostaglandin formation and potentially affect the inflammation condition. A macrophage cell line, RAW264.7, was employed to examine the effects of foods traditionally regarded as heating or cooling on the production of PGE2, a well-known proinflammatory mediator. Foods traditionally regarded as heating (litchi, longan, and dried longan) or cooling (chrysanthemum flower, bitter gourd, and lotus seed plumule) were extracted sequentially with water and ethyl acetate. The water extracts (WE) and ethyl acetate extracts (EAE) were applied to RAW264.7 macrophages in the presence or absence of LPS (lipopolysaccharide). In the absence of LPS, the WEs from the heating foods, litchi, longan, or dried longan had a dose-dependent enhancing effect on PGE2 production, with respective EC50s of 8.4, 16, and 11 mg/ml. This effect was accompanied by significant induction of COX-2 protein expression, as shown by Western blot analysis. In contrast, LPS-induced PGE2 production was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the WEs of the cooling foods, chrysanthemum flower, bitter gourd, and lotus seed plumule, with respective IC50s of 0.6, 0.13, and 0.08 mg/ml. At the concentrations tested, none of the EAEs had any effect on basal PGE2 production, while LPS-induced PGE2 production was inhibited or increased by the EAE from bitter gourd and longan, respectively. Water-soluble extracts of foods traditionally regarded as heating enhanced basal PGE2 production, while those from cooling foods significantly inhibited LPS-induced PGE2 production by the macrophage cell line. This subject merits further study to determine whether appropriate food selection may help patients suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions.  相似文献

Summary Meiotic pairing in Triticum turgidum cv. Ma (4x) with a mean chiasmata frequency of 27.16 per cell was compared with chiasmata frequencies in its hybrids with several triticale strains, Chinese Spring wheat and its addition lines for Imperial rye chromosomes 4R and 6R. In hybrids between Ma and x Triticosecale cv. Rosner the chiasmata frequency was marginally reduced by an average of 1.25%, by 8.8% in hybrids with x Triticosecale cv. DRIRA HH and by 6.7% with DRIRA EE (lacking 90% telomeric heterochromatin from chromosome arm 7RL). In pentaploid hybrids between Ma and T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring the reduction was an average of 10.30%, while addition lines with rye chromosome 6R reduced chiasmata frequencies by an average of 7.4% and rye addition line for 4R showed the greatest depression in chiasmata frequency in hybrids by a 25.04% reduction. An interchange difference involving long chromosome segments was observed between Ma and Rosner.Contribution No. 819 Ottawa Research Station  相似文献

Summary Replication of XtB, a capsid mutant of bacteriophage X174, depends on the host functions directed by the E. coli genes dnaE, dnaF, dnaG, dnaZ, lig and rep. The cellular products of dnaA, dnaB, dnaC(D), dnaI, dnaP, polA, polB and xth genes are, however, dispensable for the viral growth. In these host factor requirements, XtB resembles phages K and St-1, rather than X174. Host ranges of XtB, St-1 and K overlap considerably, and growth temperature of the three phages is somewhat higher than that of X174. Furthermore, XtB is, like K, inactivated by antiserum against St-1. XtB may thus fill an evolutionary gap between the X174 group and the St-1 group.  相似文献

Summary Circadian rhythmicity was found in the flight activity ofCuliseta incidens recorded in constant darkness for up to 14 weeks. The first nonhuman circa-bi-dian (about-two-day) rhythms were also found (Figs. 6–7). Circadian periods were either stable, remaining <24h (Fig. 1), or labile, with a change from <24h to >24 h (Fig. 2). Inactivity phenomena (day-skipping) were common in the latter group only (Fig. 5). The period at activity onset was much more labile than the period at offset (Fig. 4). The activity patterns of some period-lengthened animals suggested control by two oscillators which could temporarily or permanently uncouple (Figs. 8–9).A pacemaker model consisting of a labile evening (E) oscillator mutually coupled to a stable morning (M) oscillator is the most economical proposal which can account for these results. The view that E and M uncouple and run with different periods can account for many records in which the period was labile. Circa-bi-dian rhythms can be explained by the period of E lengthening to where it synchronizes with M in a 21 mode. Thus, E and M are proposed to behave similarly to the human activity and temperature oscillators. It is speculated that day-skipping might indicate that E oscillates between circadian and circa-bi-dian ranges without overt activity being expressed.Abbreviations LD1212 alternating 12h light, 12h dark - DD constant dark - LL constant light - period of rhythm - on period at activity onset - off period at activity offset - activity time - mean activity time  相似文献

A 40 S multienzyme complex containing mtDNA polymerase was isolated from mitochondria ofS. cerevisiae by density gradient centrifugation and by gel filtration chromatography. Besides DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, primase, 35 exonuclease and an ATPase activities were found to be associated with it. The presence of some of these enzymes were confirmed by Western blot. This high molecular weight multienzyme complex containing DNA has most of the attributes of a putative replisome.Abbreviations BCIP 5 bromo 4 chloro 3 indolyl phosphate - mtDNA mitochondrial DNA - NBT Nitroblue tetrazolium - PBS phosphate buffered saline  相似文献

We have investigated the activity of CMP-Neu5Ac:Gal\1-3GalNAc -2,3-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.4) in FR3T3 cells transformed by the Ha-ras oncogene in which we have previously demonstrated the higher expression of the -galactosidase -2,6-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.1) [21]. We demonstrate that the presence of the activatedras gene decreases the activity of this specific -2,3-sialyltransferase fourfold. According to the kinetic parameters and to mixing experiments, we can assume that this decreased enzymatic activity reflects a decrease in the number of activeO-glycan -2,3-sialyltransferase polypeptides inras-transformed cells. However, no change in the binding of Peanut agglutinin was observed on the cell surface ofras-transformed FR3T3 suggesting that no change in the sialylation ofO-glycan core 1 appeared in these cells, although the activity of the -2,3-sialyltransferase was decreased.Abbreviations -2,3-ST(O) CMP-Neu5Ac:Gal1-3GalNAc-R -2,3-sialyltransferase - -2,3-ST(N/O) CMP-Neu5Ac:Gal1-3/4GlcNAc-R -2,3-sialyltransferase - -2,6-ST(N) CMP-Neu5Ac:Gal1-4GlcNAc-R -2,6-sialyltransferase - -2,6-ST(O)I CMP-Neu5Ac:R-GalNAc(1-O)Ser -2,6-sialyltransferase - -2,6-ST(O)II CMP-Neu5Ac:Neu5Ac2-3Gal1-3GalNAc-R -2,6-sialyltransferase - ASFet asialofetuin - FR3T3 Fisher rat fibroblast - FRras Ha-ras-transfected FR3T3 fibroblasts - NaCl/Pi sodium phosphate 10mm, NaCl 0.15m, pH 7.4, buffer - pNp p-nitrophenol  相似文献

Summary Serratia marcescens HY was cured of two native prophages, and y. Curing occurred after infection with temperate phage , but the cured strains did not become -lysogenic. One of them has been simultaneously cured of both and y. Recognition of cured colonies was based on their loss of immunity towards the respective phage. Whereas plates on the singly cured strains, it does not plate on the doubly cured strain. However, infection of it with leads to a limited phage multiplication, the average burst size being low and only part of the infected cells producing phage at all. The ability of the strain to serve as indicator for can be restored by relysogenization with either or y. In addition, some further relations between , , and y are reported in this paper.Abbreviations moi multiplicity of infection - A absorbance (optical density) - NB nutrient broth - BS buffered saline - EMB eosine methylene blue - thy thymine - leu leucine This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
