Among Neotropical microhylids, the genus Chiasmocleis is exceptionally diverse. Most species of Chiasmocleis were described in recent years based on external morphology, but recent studies using molecular data did not support the monophyly of the species groups clustered based on feet webbing. Furthermore, a phylogeographic study of C. lacrimae estimated high genetic divergence and low gene flow among populations across small geographic ranges. Increasing the molecular and geographic sampling, and incorporating morphological data, we identified new cryptic species. Herein, we used novel genetic and morphological data to describe a new species of Chiasmocleis. 相似文献

Isolation of a factor, from the capsule of a granulosis virus, synergistic for a nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of the armyworm 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
When the capsules of a granulosis virus are fed together with the polyhedra of a nuclear-polyhedrosis virus to larvae of the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta, the former enhances the infectivity of the latter virus, a synergistic interaction. The enhancement of infectivity depends upon the concentration of the polyhedra and the capsules. The factor responsible for the synergistic activity in the capsule can be dissolved in alkaline solution, separated from the virus particles by centrifugation, and further purified by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration with 4 m urea. The fraction obtained from Sephadex filtration and containing the synergistic factor can be separated into two components by disc-electrophoresis with 8 m urea. Both components possess synergistic activity. The ID50 of the synergistic factor corresponds to 0.0015 OD280. Its optimum pH is 8.5. Synergism is most evident when the factor is fed to larvae together with the polyhedra or is fed 24 hr prior to the ingestion of the polyhedra. The factor appears to be a simple or a conjugated protein of the capsule. 相似文献

CHIF, a member of the FXYD protein family, is a regulator of Na,K-ATPase distinct from the gamma-subunit 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Béguin P Crambert G Guennoun S Garty H Horisberger JD Geering K 《The EMBO journal》2001,20(15):3993-4002
The biological role of small membrane proteins of the new FXYD family is largely unknown. The best characterized FXYD protein is the gamma-subunit of the Na,K-ATPase (NKA) that modulates the Na,K-pump function in the kidney. Here, we report that, similarly to gamma(a) and gamma(b) splice variants, the FXYD protein CHIF (corticosteroid-induced factor) is a type I membrane protein which is associated with NKA in renal tissue, and modulates the Na,K-pump transport when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. In contrast to gamma(a) and gamma(b), which both decrease the apparent Na+ affinity of the Na,K-pump, CHIF significantly increases the Na+ affinity and decreases the apparent K+ affinity due to an increased Na+ competition at external binding sites. The extracytoplasmic FXYD motif is required for stable gamma-subunit and CHIF interaction with NKA, while cytoplasmic, positively charged residues are necessary for the gamma-subunit's association efficiency and for CHIF's functional effects. These data document that CHIF is a new tissue-specific regulator of NKA which probably plays a crucial role in aldosterone-responsive tissues responsible for the maintenance of body Na+ and K+ homeostasis. 相似文献

An allotypic specificity presumably of the a series in rabbit immunoglobulins, different from a1, a2, and a3 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
P A Cazenave C Brezin J Roland 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1974,61(2):664-670
From the serum of a wild rabbit lacking all the known allotypic specificities of the a series, IgG showing an allotypic specificity named. A100 has been isolated and antisera against it prepared in domestic rabbits. The determinants responsible for the A100 allotypic specificity are present both on IgG and IgM. They are located on the heavy chain and the Fab fragment of IgG.Evidence for the genetic determinism of A100 suggests that it is the product of a new allele at the locus. 相似文献

This paper deals with a taxonomic study of two diatoms collected in Xizang (Tibet)
and, based upon the peculiarities of their rapheal system, a new taxonomic system of the Class Pennatae is proposed.
One of the diatoms was found in fifteen specimens collected in various localities (alt. 4100--5300 m) in eight counties in southern, western and northern Xizang, and has been identified as Amphiraphia xizangensis Chen et Zhu, a new genus and a new species, including a variety, major Chen et Zhu. This species is epiphytic in habit (sometimes becomes freefloating) and characterized by its two valves of a frustule dissimilar in structure: the epitheca has a dotted-line shaped shaphe with a more or less reduced central nodule and without the polar nodules, whereas the hypotheca has a typical raphe with both the well developed central nodule and polar nodules. These most striking structures have not been discovered in all the known species. Thus, based upon the pecularities of this genus, the authors have established not only a new family, Amphiraphiaceae Chen et Zhu, but also a new order, Amphiraphidales Chen et Zhu.
The other is a well known and widely distributed species, Rhoicosphenia curvata (Kütz.) Grun. This genus has always been placed in the Achnanthaceae. As We know that the alga does not have frustules with a pseudoraphe on one valve and a true raphe on the other as stated by Boyer (1927) and Smith (1950). In fact, it has only a rudimentary short raphe near each pole on the epitheca and a fully developed raphe on the hypotheca as mentioned by Cleve-Euler (1958), Hustedt (1962), and Patrick and Reimer (1966) and obse rved by the authors in the Xizang specimens. The alga is really similar to Amphiraphia xizangensis Chen et Zhu in having two valves dissimilar in rapheal type. Thus, based upon its generic characteristics the authors have established another new family, Rhoicospheniaceae Chen et Zhu, and placed it in the order Amphiraphidales Chen et Zhu too.
Regarding the systematic position of the Amphiraphidales, the following principles are considered:
1. It is evident that the free-floating or motile diatoms existing in the geological periods are really older than the epiphytic ones. This has been proved by some discoveries of the fossil diatoms.
2. Both epitheca and hypotheca of frustule of all the free-living diatoms, induding both centric and pennate species, are symmetrical in both valves and girdle-views, but, the epiphytic forms are usually asymmetrical, especially in a girdle-view.
3. The characteristics of rapheal system are often used by former algologists as a main taxonomic basis for considering category of pennate diatoms and affinity among them. The authors agree with this consideration.
4. In this paper Hustedt's classification of pennate diatoms is used as a basis for considering the phylogenetic problems of these diatoms, but the authors cite Schütt's Class Pennatae, instead of Hustedt's order Pennales; Sieminska's orders, Araphidales, Raphidioidales, Monoraphidales, and Biraphidales, instead of Hustedt's Suborders, Araphidineae, Raphidioidineae, Monoraphidineae, and Biraphidineae.
5. The rapheal system on the epitheca of the Amphiraphidales is really a reduced
structure derived from a typical form represented by the Biraphidales, and may be regarded as a transitional type from that of the Biraphidales to that of Monoraphidales.
6. Owing to the epitheca of the type genus Rhoicosphenia Grun. of the family Rhoicospheniaceae lacking the central nodule and a great part of its axial area becoming a pseudoraphe, the authors consider that the family is more close to Monoraphidales than Amphiraphiaceae is in phylogeny.
According to the principles set forth above, a taxonomic system of the Pennatae is proposed as follows:

Order II. Raphidioidales Siem.
Order III. Biraphidales Siem.

Treatment of normal rats with the thymothyroid hormone leucogenenol accelerates the rate at which the 'functional' cells, neutrophils, red blood cells and lymphocytes, develop in the bone marrow from their corresponding committed precursor cells. Following the initial treatment of normal rats with leucogenenol, there is a temporary elevation in the bone marrow of the relative concentrations of myeloblasts, rubriblasts and lymphoblasts. It has now been found that bilaterally adrenalectomized rats have a different response from normal rats to treatment with leucogenenol. Although treatment of bilaterally adrenalectomized rats with leucogenenol accelerates the rate of development of their functional cells, the initial injection of leucogenenol is followed by a temporary decrease in the relative concentrations of myeloblasts, rubriblasts and lymphoblasts in their bone marrow. Additionally, adrenalectomized rats treated concurrently with tritiated thymidine and leucogenenol show a significant lower percentage of labeled cells in their bone marrow than do correspondingly treated normal rats. These results indicate that adrenalectomized rats have a lower than normal concentration of stem cells in their bone marrow that can be committed to become functional cells. Treatment with adroxazine, a new recently isolated heterocyclic hormone of the adrenals, causes adrenalectomized rats to respond as normal rats to the injection of leucogenenol. There is a temporary elevation of myeloblasts, rubriblasts and lymphoblasts in their bone marrow as well as a normal increase in the percentage of cells that are labeled following concurrent treatment with tritiated thymidine and leucogenenol. It may be concluded that treatment with adroxazine increases the rate of replication of uncommitted bone marrow stem cells while treatment with leucogenenol increases the rate at which committed cells develop into their respective functional cells. A scheme is presented to show the suggested roles that leucogenenol and adroxazine play in regulating the formation of blood cells. 相似文献

Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are believed to originate from the intestinal pacemaker cells (interstitial cells of Cajal) or their progenitor cells. Spontaneous tumors have been reported in dogs, horses, rhesus, and a chimpanzee and they have been produced experimentally in mice and rats. GISTs represent a diagnostic challenge because they cannot be differentiated from non-lymphoid mesenchymal tumors without using human c-kit (CD117) immunohistochemistry.
Methods Three neoplasms were incidental findings at necropsy in the stomachs of a baboon and a spider monkey and in the rectum of a chimpanzee.
Results The GISTs were initially diagnosed grossly and histologically with hematoxylin and eosin as leiomyomas. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that all three were c-kit (CD117) positive.
Conclusions These are the first reports of GISTs in the baboon and spider monkey and the second in a chimpanzee. The occurrence of GISTs in non-human primates may provide a unique opportunity to study these tumors. 相似文献

Numerous human disorders are associated with the formation of protein fibrils. The fibril-forming capacity of a protein has been found in recent studies to be determined by a short segment of residues that forms a dual beta-sheet, called a steric zipper, in the spine of the fibril. The question arises as to whether a fibril-forming segment, when inserted within the sequence of a globular protein, will invariably cause the protein to form fibrils. Here we investigate this question by inserting the known fibril-forming segment NNQQNY into the globular enzyme, T7 endonuclease I. From earlier studies, we know that in its fibril form, NNQQNY is in an extended conformation. We first found that the inserted NNQQNY stimulates fibril formation of T7 endonuclease I in solution. Thus NNQQNY within T7 endonuclease I can exist in an extended conformation, capable of forming the steric zipper in the core of a fibril. We also found that T7 endonuclease I folds into a decamer that does not form fibrils. We determined the structure of the decamer by X-ray crystallography, finding an unusual oligomer without point group symmetry, and finding that the NNQQNY segments within the decamer adopt two twisted conformations, neither is apparently able to fibrillize. We conclude that twisting of fibril forming sequences from the fully extended conformation, imposed by the context of their placement in proteins, can interfere with fibril formation. 相似文献

Merlin (or schwannomin) is a tumor suppressor encoded by the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene. Many studies have suggested that merlin is involved in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation through interactions with various cellular proteins. To better understand the function of merlin, we tried to identify the proteins that bind to merlin using the yeast two-hybrid screening. Characterization of the positive clones revealed a protein of 749 amino acids named merlin-associated protein (MAP), which showed wide tissue distribution in Northern blot analysis. Sequence analysis revealed that MAP is a potential homologue of a yeast check-point protein, BUB2, and contains TBC, SH3, and RUN domains, thereby implicating its role in the Ras-like GTPase signal pathways. MAP and merlin were directly associated in vitro and in vivo, and colocalized in NIH3T3 cells. The RUN domain of MAP and the C-terminus of merlin appeared to be responsible for their interaction. MAP decreased the AP-1-dependent promoter activity additively with merlin in NIH3T3 cells. In addition, merlin and MAP synergistically reduced the colony formation of NIH3T3 cells. These results suggest that MAP may play a cooperative role in the merlin-mediated growth suppression of cells. 相似文献

Rootletin,a novel coiled-coil protein,is a structural component of the ciliary rootlet 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The ciliary rootlet, first recognized over a century ago, is a prominent structure originating from the basal body at the proximal end of a cilium. Despite being the largest cytoskeleton, its structural composition has remained unknown. Here, we report a novel 220-kD protein, designated rootletin, found in the rootlets of ciliated cells. Recombinant rootletin forms detergent-insoluble filaments radiating from the centrioles and resembling rootlets found in vivo. An mAb widely used as a marker for vertebrate rootlets recognizes an epitope in rootletin. Rootletin has a globular head domain and a tail domain consisting of extended coiled-coil structures. Rootletin forms parallel in register homodimers and elongated higher order polymers mediated by the tail domain alone. The head domain may be required for targeting to the basal body and binding to a kinesin light chain. In retinal photoreceptors where rootlets appear particularly robust, rootlets extend from the basal bodies to the synaptic terminals and anchor ER membranes along their length. Our data indicate that rootlets are composed of homopolymeric rootletin protofilaments bundled into variably shaped thick filaments. Thus, rootletin is the long-sought structural component of the ciliary rootlet. 相似文献
