植物线粒体中的肌动蛋白

我们曾报道过在玉米线粒体中分离到肌动蛋白。本文进一步证明在玉米幼苗、绿豆幼苗以及花椰菜线粒体中存在肌动蛋白。SDS聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳表明线粒体肌动蛋白分子量为42,000～45,000道尔频,与兔肌肉肌动蛋白分子量一致。植物线粒体肌动蛋白单体可以聚合成F-肌动蛋白,在232nm附近的吸收蜂可能是聚合成F-肌动蛋白所发生的构象变化引起的。兔肌肉HMM中ATP酶活性被部份纯化的植物线粒体F-肌动蛋白显著激活。线粒体F-肌动蛋白负染后在电子显微镜下呈现出直径为5～7nm,双螺旋结构的微丝。这些微丝用HMM修饰后出现箭头状装饰。箭头之间的距离为34～38nm。这些结果证明肌动蛋白确实存在于植物线粒体中。

Molecular mass and chain conformation of carboxymethylated derivatives of beta-glucan from sclerotia of Pleurotus tuber-regium

Seven water-insoluble (1 --> 3)-beta-D-glucan fractions TM8-1 to TM8-7 with weight-average molecular mass M(w) ranged from 2.22 to 77.4 x 10(4) obtained from the sclerotia of Pleurotus tuber-regium were carboxymethylated to produce the water-soluble fractions CTM8-1 to CTM8-7 with M(w) ranged from 3.87 to 87.8 x 10(4). The degree of substitution (DS) of CTM8 fractions was analyzed by ir and elemental analysis (EA) to be 0.3-0.68. The M(w) and the intrinsic viscosity [eta] of the CTM8 fractions were measured by size-exclusion chromatography combined with multiangle laser light scattering (SEC-MALLS), MALLS, and viscometry in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at 37 degrees C. The dependencies of [eta] and radius of gyration (z) (1/2) on M(w) for the CTM8 samples were found to be [eta] = (8.82 +/- 0.03) x 10(-3) M(w)(0.78 +/- 0.04) (cm(3) g(-1)) and (z) (1/2) = (3.09 +/- 0.05) x 10(-3) M(w)(0.75 +/- 0.06) (nm) in the M(w) range from 3.87 x 10(4) to 53.2 x 10(4). Based on current theories for wormlike chain model, the conformational parameters of the CTM8 were obtained to be 790 (nm(-1)) for M(L), 9.6 (nm) for q, which were higher than those of the native TM8 fractions, suggesting a more extended flexible chain of CTM8 in PBS. On the whole, the CTM8 fractions showed higher antitumor activity than their corresponding TM8 fractions. In view of data from molecular parameters and bioactivity, the antitumor activity of the CTM8 fractions may be correlated to its water solubility and relatively extended chain.     

Chiral aspects of the metabolism of ethosuximide

Ethosuximide is a chiral drug substance primarily indicated for the treatment of absence seizures. This drug is used clinically as the racemate. The urinary metabolites of ethosuximide (following i.p. administration of the racemate or individual enantiomers to rats) have been studied using chiral gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GCMS). The metabolites identified were unchanged ethosuximide enantiomers, all four stereoisomers of 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylsuccinimide, and a single stereoisomer of 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-2-methylsuccinimide [derived from (R)-ethosuximide]. Preliminary quantitative studies indicate a degree of stereoselectivity in the fate of ethosuximide since the ratio of (R)- to (S)-ethosuximide in the urine was found to be 0.77:1 (0–24 h sample), 0.64:1 (24–48 h sample), and 0.83:1 (48–72 h sample). This would suggest that the (R)-isomer is preferentially metabolised. Results obtained following the administration of individual enantiomers of ethosuximide indicate that the 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylsuccinimide diastereoisomers derived from (R)-ethosuximide are produced in approximately equal proportions [ratio 1.05:1 (0–24 h sample), 1.10:1 (24–48 h sample)], whilst those from (S)-ethosuximide are produced in unequal proportions [ratio 1.65:1 (0–24 h sample), 1.74:1 (24–48 h sample)]. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Mechanisms of adrenergic control of sino-atrial node discharge

Among the mechanisms proposed for the increase in discharge of sino-atrial node (SAN) by norepinephrine (NE) are an increase in the hyperpolarization-activated current I(f) and in the slow inward current I(Ca,L). If I(f) is the primary mechanism, cesium (a blocker of I(f)) should eliminate the positive chronotropic effect of NE. If I(Ca,L), is involved, [Ca(2+)](o) should condition NE effects. We studied the electrophysiological changes induced by NE in isolated guinea pig SAN superfused in vitro with Tyrode solution (both SAN dominant and subsidiary pacemaker mechanisms are present) as well as with high [K(+)](o), higher Cs(+) or Ba(2+) (only the dominant pacemaker mechanism is present). In Tyrode solution, NE (0.5-1microM) increased the SAN rate and adding Cs(+) (approximately 12 mM) caused a decaying voltage tail during diastole in subsidiary pacemakers. NE enhanced the Cs(+)-induced tail, and increased the rate but less than in Tyrode solution. In higher [Cs(+)](o) (15- 18 mM), Ba(2+) (1 mM) or Ba(2+) plus Cs(+) (10 mM) dominant action potentials (not followed by a tail) were present and NE accelerated them as in Tyrode solution. In high [K(+)](o), NE increased the rate in the absence and presence of Cs(+), Ba(2+) or Ba(2+) plus Cs(+). In these solutions, NE increased the overshoot and maximum diastolic potential of dominant action potentials (APs) and increased the rate by steepening diastolic depolarization and shifting the threshold for upstroke to more negative values. High [Ca(2+)](o) alone increased the rate and NE enhanced this action, whereas low [Ca(2+)](o) reduced or abolished the increase in rate by NE. In SAN quiescent in high [K(+)](o) plus indapamide, NE induced spontaneous discharge by decreasing the resting potential and initiating progressively larger voltage oscillations. Thus, NE increases the SAN rate by acting primarily on dominant APs in a manner consistent with an increase of I(Ca,L) and I(K) and under conditions where I(f) is either blocked or not activated. NE INITIATES spontaneous discharge by inducing voltage oscillations unrelated to I(f).     

Re-evaluation of the allometry of wet thermal conductance for birds

Wet thermal conductance is an important thermoregulatory parameter for birds and mammals. It is generally calculated as C(wet) (ml O2 g(-1) h(-1) degrees C(-1)) = VO2/(T(b)-T(a)), where VO2 is metabolic rate measured in ml O2 g(-1) h(-1), T(b) is body and T(a) is ambient temperature measured in degrees C. Minimum C(wet) is measured at T(a) at or below the lower critical temperature (T(lc)) of the thermoneutral zone, and is strongly influenced by time of day (rest or activity phase) and body mass [J. Aschoff, Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 69A (1981) 611]. Allometric analyses indicate differences in C(wet) for passerine and non-passerine birds, in their rest and active phases (Aschoff, 1981). The allometric slope for non-passerine rest-phase (-0.583) is lower than that for non-passerine active-phase (-0.484), and passerine rest-phase (-0.461) and active-phase (-0.463), although none of these slopes are significantly different. This different-sloped relationship for non-passerine rest-phase C(wet) extrapolates to lower-than-expected values at high body mass, and so this allometric relationship may be inappropriate for predictive purposes. Consequently, we have reanalysed Aschoff's (1981) data, as well as more recent compilations, to determine a more useful allometric relationship for C(wet) of non-passerine rest-phase birds. Re-analyses of minimum thermal conductance data from Drent and Stonehouse [Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 40A (1971) 689], Aschoff (1981) and Gavrilov and Dolnik [Acta XVIII Congressus Internationalis Ornithologici Moscow (1982) 421] indicate that the most appropriate regressions for predicting C(wet) (ml O2 g(-1) h(-1) degrees C(-1)) of birds from body mass (M; g) are the pooled regressions for non-passerine and passerine birds, in the active (alpha) and resting (rho) phases, using data tabulated by Aschoff (1981): alpha, C(wet)=0.994M(-0.509); rho, C(wet)=0.702M(-0.519). C(wet) is approximately 40% higher in the active phase than the rest phase. Regressions of various data sets for C(wet) of birds and mammals indicate a similar slope of approximately -0.5 for the allometric relationship, but significantly higher elevations for mammals compared to birds. The approximately 50% higher C(wet) for mammals than birds indicates a better physical insulation for birds than mammals of the same body mass. The general scaling of C(wet) with M(-0.5) indicates that (T(b)-T(lc)) should scale with M(0.22), if mass-specific metabolic rate scales with M(-0.28) [Reynolds and Lee, Am. Nat. 147 (1996) 735]. The observed scaling for (T(b)-T(lc)) of M(0.183) (calculated from Gavrilov and Dolnik, 1985) is consistent with this expectation.     

Flora of planktonic microalgae of Amursky Bay, Sea of Japan

Long-term studies of the species composition of phytoplankton in Amursky Bay (Sea of Japan) carried out during the period from 1991 to 2006 revealed a total of 357 species of planktonic microalgae from eight divisions: Cyanophyta (8 species), Chrysophyta (8), Bacillariophyta (157), Cryptophyta (5), Dinophyta (143), Raphidophyta (3), Euglenophyta (11), and Chlorophyta (22 species). An annotated checklist of species is presented. In comparison with the late 1960s and early 1970s, the species richness of phytoplankton increased markedly; a greater number of bloom-forming species was recorded.

The point of maximum cell water volume excursion in case of presence of an impermeable solute

A relativistic permeability model of cell osmotic response (Cryobiology 40:64-83; 41:366-367) is applied to a two-solute system with one impermeable solute. The use of the normalized water volume (w), and the amount of intracellular permeable solute (x), which is the product of the water volume and intracellular osmolality (y), as the main variables allowed us to obtain a homogeneous differential equation dx(Delta)/dw(Delta)=f(x(Delta)/w(Delta)), where w(Delta)=w-w(f), x(Delta)=x-x(f), and f refers to the final (equilibrium) values. The solution of this equation is an explicit function, w(Delta)=g(x(Delta)), which is given in the text. This approach allows us to obtain an analytical (exact) expression of the water volume at the moment of the maximum excursion (water extremum w(m)). Results are compared with numeration of basic osmotic equations and with approximation given in (Cryobiology 40:64-83). Assumption that, dw/dt approximately 0 gives good approximations of the kinetics of water and permeable CPA after the point of maximum volume excursion (the slow phase of osmotic response). Practical aspects of the relativistic permeability approach are also discussed.
