Background
The Eight-Twenty-One (ETO) nuclear co-repressor gene belongs to the ETO homologue family also containing Myeloid Translocation Gene on chromosome 16 (MTG16) and myeloid translocation Gene-Related protein 1 (MTGR1). By chromosomal translocations ETO and MTG16 become parts of fusion proteins characteristic of morphological variants of acute myeloid leukemia. Normal functions of ETO homologues have as yet not been examined. The goal of this work was to identify structural and functional promoter elements upstream of the coding sequence of the ETO gene in order to explore lineage-specific hematopoietic expression and get hints to function. 相似文献3.
Background
In Arabidopsis, ETO1 (ETHYLENE-OVERPRODUCER1) is a negative regulator of ethylene evolution by interacting with AtACS5, an isoform of the rate-limiting enzyme, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthases (ACC synthase or ACS), in ethylene biosynthetic pathway. ETO1 directly inhibits the enzymatic activity of AtACS5. In addition, a specific interaction between ETO1 and AtCUL3, a constituent of a new type of E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, suggests the molecular mechanism in promoting AtACS5 degradation by the proteasome-dependent pathway. Because orthologous sequences to ETO1 are found in many plant species including tomato, we transformed tomato with Arabidopsis ETO1 to evaluate its ability to suppress ethylene production in tomato fruits. 相似文献4.

Energetic failure which occurs in both ischemia/reperfusion and acute drug-induced hepatotoxicity is frequently associated
with oxidative stress. This study displays the setting of a new cell culture model for hepatic energetic failure, i.e., HepG2
models modified by etomoxir [ETO] addition [0.1 mM to 1 mM] and compares the cell impact versus tert-butylhydroperoxide [TBOOH; 0.2 mM], an oxidative stress inducer. As it was observed with Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) without
any interfering agent, decreasing temperature drastically lowered adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl
tetrazolium bromide (MTT) viability test, and protein content, compared to 37°C (p = 0.02, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively), but to a larger extent in the presence of ETO or TBOOH. The alteration was generally highly dependent
on the ETO concentration, time, and temperature. At 37°C 24 h after (T24h), regarding ETO concentration, R2 correlation ratio was 0.65 (p < 0.001), 0.70 (p < 0.001), and 0.89 (p < 0.001) for ATP levels, protein content, and viability, respectively. The lowest ETO concentration producing a significant
effect was 0.25 mM. Concerning time dependency (i.e., T24h versus after 5 h (T5h)), at 37°C with ETO, ATP level continued
to significantly decrease between T5h and T24h. In a similar way, at 37°C, the MTT viability test decrease was accelerated
only between T5h and T24h for ETO concentrations higher than 0.5 mM (p = 0.016 and p = 0.0001 for 0.75 and 1 mM, respectively). On the contrary, with TBOOH, comparing T24h versus T5h, cellular indicators were
improved but generally remained lower than MEM without any interfering agent at T24h, suggesting that TBOOH action was time
limited probably in relation with its oxidation in cell medium. This study confirms the interest of altered ETO cell model
to screen agents (or formulation) prone to prevent or treat energetic depletion in relation with oxidative stress. 相似文献

Evaluation of DNA extraction methods for Bacillus anthracis spores isolated from spiked food samples
M.C. Thomas M.J. Shields K.R. Hahn T.W. Janzen N. Goji K.K. Amoako 《Journal of applied microbiology》2013,115(1):156-162
Aims
Nine commercial DNA extraction kits were evaluated for the isolation of DNA from 10‐fold serial dilutions of Bacillus anthracis spores using quantitative real‐time PCR (qPCR). The three kits determined by qPCR to yield the most sensitive and consistent detection (Epicenter MasterPure Gram Positive; MoBio PowerFood; ABI PrepSeq) were subsequently tested for their ability to isolate DNA from trace amounts of B. anthracis spores (approx. 6·5 × 101 and 1·3 × 102 CFU in 25 ml or 50 g of food sample) spiked into complex food samples including apple juice, ham, whole milk and bagged salad and recovered with immunomagnetic separation (IMS).Methods and Results
The MasterPure kit effectively and consistently isolated DNA from low amounts of B. anthracis spores captured from food samples. Detection was achieved from apple juice, ham, whole milk and bagged salad from as few as 65 ± 14, 68 ± 8, 66 ± 4 and 52 ± 16 CFU, respectively, and IMS samples were demonstrated to be free of PCR inhibitors.Conclusions
Detection of B. anthracis spores isolated from food by IMS differs substantially between commercial DNA extraction kits; however, sensitive results can be obtained with the MasterPure Gram Positive kit.Significance and Impact of the Study
The extraction protocol identified herein combined with IMS is novel for B. anthracis and allows detection of low levels of B. anthracis spores from contaminated food samples. 相似文献9.

Aim
Characterization of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) accumulated by halophilic bacteria isolated from solar salterns.Methods and Results
Twenty‐six halophilic isolates were obtained from solar salterns of Goa, India. They were screened for accumulation of PHA by Sudan black B, Nile blue A and Nile red stains. Strains H15, H16 and H26 were selected based on their intensity of Nile blue A/Nile red fluorescence. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characterization, the three isolates were identified as Bacillus megaterium. Growth kinetics and polymer accumulating capacity of strain H16 were studied in E2 mineral media with 2% glucose with/without NaCl. In the absence of NaCl, strain H16 accumulated PHA to 40·0% (w/w) of cell dry weight (CDW) at 42 h of growth, whereas in presence of 5% w/v NaCl, the culture showed longer lag phase of up to 24 h and accumulated a maximum PHA of 39% (w/w) CDW at 54 h of growth. The infrared spectra of both the polymers exhibited peaks at 1733·9 cm?1 characteristic of C=O. Scans of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) showed a doublet at 2·5 ppm corresponding to methylene group (‐CH2), the signal at 5·3 ppm corresponded to methine group (‐CH‐), and another signal at 1·3 ppm corresponded to the methyl group (‐CH3). Scans of 13C NMR showed prominent peaks at 20, 40, 67–68 and 170 ppm, indicating the polymer to be homopolymer of 3‐hydroxybutyrates. The polymer is stable up to a temperature of 160°C.Conclusion
Three moderately halophilic isolates (strain H15, H16 and H26) capable of accumulating PHA were isolated from solar salterns of Ribandar Goa, India, and identified as B. megaterium based on phenotypic and genotypic characterization. Strain H16 accumulated polyhydroxybutyrate in the presence and absence of NaCl up to 40% of its CDW.Significance and Impact of the Study
This strain would be better suited for production of PHA at industrial level due to its tolerance to high concentration of NaCl. 相似文献11.

Background
Bacillus mycoides Flügge, a Gram-positive, non-motile soil bacterium assigned to Bacillus cereus group, grows on agar as chains of cells linked end to end, forming radial filaments curving clock- or counter-clockwise (SIN or DX morphotypes). The molecular mechanism causing asymmetric curving is not known: our working hypothesis considers regulation of filamentous growth as the prerequisite for these morphotypes. 相似文献12.
Background
The Trypanosoma brucei cell cycle is regulated by combinations of cyclin/CRKs (cdc2 related kinases). Recently, two additional cyclins (CYC10, CYC11) and six new CRK (CRK7-12) homologues were identified in the T. brucei genome database [1,2]. 相似文献13.

Background
The secretin family is a pleotropic group of brain-gut peptides with affinity for class 2 G-protein coupled receptors (secretin family GPCRs) proposed to have emerged early in the metazoan radiation via gene or genome duplications. In human, 10 members exist and sequence and functional homologues and ligand-receptor pairs have been characterised in representatives of most vertebrate classes. Secretin-like family GPCR homologues have also been isolated in non-vertebrate genomes however their corresponding ligands have not been convincingly identified and their evolution remains enigmatic. 相似文献14.

Background
Mutations in human bestrophin 1 are associated with at least three autosomal-dominant macular dystrophies including Best disease, adult onset vitelliform macular dystrophy and autosomal dominant vitreo-retinochoroidopathy. The protein is integral to the membrane and is likely involved in Ca2+-dependent transport of chloride ions across cellular membranes. Bestrophin 1 together with its three homologues forms a phylogenetically highly conserved family of proteins. 相似文献16.

Background
The tomato kinase Pto confers resistance to bacterial speck disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato in a gene for gene manner. Upon recognition of specific avirulence factors the Pto kinase activates multiple signal transduction pathways culminating in induction of pathogen defense. The soluble cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase Pti1 is one target of Pto phosphorylation and is involved in the hypersensitive response (HR) reaction. However, a clear role of Pti1 in plant pathogen resistance is uncertain. So far, no Pti1 homologues from monocotyledonous species have been studied. 相似文献18.

Background
Manually finding subtle yet statistically significant links to distantly related homologues becomes practically impossible for very populated protein families due to the sheer number of similarity searches to be invoked and analyzed. The unclear evolutionary relationship between classical mammalian lipases and the recently discovered human adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL; a patatin family member) is an exemplary case for such a problem. 相似文献20.
