Exposure of amebocytes to bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides, LPS) results in the activation of the coagulation system, which consists of several protein components. During the separation of these components, a potent anticoagulant, named tentatively anti-LPS factor, which inhibits the endotoxin-mediated coagulation reaction, was found in both amebocytes from the hemolymphs of and . The principle purified partially from amebocyte lysate had a molecular weight less than 10,000, as judged with the ordinary gelfiltration experiment. It inhibited specifically the activation of factor B, which has recently been characterized to be a coagulation factor highly sensitive to LPS, but it did not inhibit the activities of the active factor B and the active clotting enzyme separated from the lysate. The inhibitory activity of anti-LPS factor disappeared almost completely by the treatments with pronase-P and subtilisin, suggesting its polypeptide-like substance, but it resisted to a boiling treatment. A possible site of the anticoagulant action on the coagulation system was discussed. 相似文献

A partially purified preparation of pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase (E.C. 1.6.1.1.) (energy-independent) has been obtained from membranes of by means of deoxycholate extraction and DEAE-cellulose chromatography in the presence of Triton X-100. The enzyme was lipid-depleted by treating with cholate and ammonium sulfate. The preparation was reactivated by various phospholipids, in particular, bacterial cardiolipin and phosphatidyl glycerol. Phosphatidyl ethanolamine, the major phospholipid in the outer membrane of , was relatively ineffective in stimulating activity. The membrane-bound pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase is slowly inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide. Protection against inhibition was achieved with NAD+ and NADP+, but NADPH served to accelerate the rate of inhibition. 相似文献

The small intestines of 31 mature crossbred gilts were infused with endotoxin through permanent jejunostomies. A total of 86 infusions were done. The endotoxin was absorbed after 4 infusions. Evidence of absorption included variations in body temperatures, decline in white blood cell counts, detection of the endotoxin in circulating blood plasma samples by a limulus amebocyte lysate gelation test, and abnormal clinical signs. endotoxin placed in the small intestines of normal, healthy, mature gilts does not readily cause illness. 相似文献

A method has been devised for measuring the abundance of sulfur-34 in the hydrogen sulfide released upon the acidification of cells. Evidence is presented, based on the rate at which the hydrogen sulfide is released from the cells as well as the total amount released, that this hydrogen sulfide originates from the iron-sulfur proteins present in the cells. The sulfur-34 abundance in this hydrogen sulfide which was isolated from cells grown with [sulfane-34S]thiocystine, a compound which can differentially label the sulfur-34 abundance of cysteine and hydrogen sulfide, shows cysteine sulfur and not hydrogen sulfide to be the origin of the sulfide sulfur of iron-sulfur proteins in aerobically grown 相似文献

A temperature sensitive kanamycin (Km) resistant R plasmid, Rtsl, was found to confer cupric ion (Cu2+) resistance on its hosts in . At conjugal transfer, two kinds of segregants were obtained from Rtsl, i.e. Cu2+ resistant, Km sensitive and Km resistant, Cu2+ sensitive plasmids. Protein T existed in cells harboring Rtsl or the CurKms-plasmid. The inhibitory effect on the host cell growth at 43°C was observed with Rtsl+ or the KmrCus-plasmid+ cells. A relationship between these Rtsl derivatives and Rtsl in which has been studied was discussed. 相似文献

Outer membrane of allows a rapid diffusion of saccharides of molecular weights less than 550. This permeability property could be restored in vesicle membranes reconstituted from isolated phospholipids, lipopolysaccharide, and an outer membrane protein. The active protein aggregates were isolated from the insoluble material left after solubilization of cell envelope of B with sodium dodecyl sulfate at 35°. Analysis by acrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and amino terminal amino acid determination revealed that only a single species of protein, with a molecular weight of 36,500 forms the oligoprotein aggregates which produces diffusion channels. 相似文献

Methylated amino acids from ribosomal protein L33 of various strains (Q13, B and MRE600) were analyzed. It was found that while protein L33 from Q13 contains two methylated neutral amino acids (peaks I and II), only one methylated neutral amino acid (peak I) was found in protein L33 derived from both strains B and MRE600. The methylated amino acid present in peak I was identified as N-monomethylalanine by ion-exchange column chromatography, high-voltage paper electrophoresis and descending paper chromatography using different solvent systems. This marks the first time that N-monomethylalanine was found in any ribosomal protein. 相似文献

The lethal action of streptonigrin on strains of is greatly enhanced by citrate (10?2 M). Desferrioxamine (2×10?4 M), when added with streptonigrin and citrate, eliminates the citrate enhancement. These observations point to a role for iron in the bactericidal mechanism of streptonigrin. Extracellular citrate is known to promote the acquisition of iron by by delivering it as a ferric citrate complex to a specific transport apparatus on the cell envelope. Therefore, it may promote action of streptonigrin by increasing the intracellular concentration of available iron. Desferrioxamine, which forms a much stronger complex with ferric ion than does citrate, would be expected to suppress the ferric citrate effect, and this was observed. 相似文献

A heat-stable factor with properties similar to those of calmodulin was found in the fraction containing Ca2+-dependent cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase of . The factor activated such enzymes as cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase of bovine brain, (Ca2+,Mg2+)ATPase of human erythrocyte menbrane and myosin light chain kinase of rabbit myometrium in a Ca2+-dependent fashion with an apparent Ka of 5 × 10?5. The factor and brain calmodulin had no effect on the phosphodiesterase of . It may be concluded that calmodulin or a calmodulin-like protein occurs in prokaryotes. 相似文献

The addition of local anesthetics procaine and 2-phenylethanol during cell growth and membrane isolation lowered the phase transition temperature of purified outer membranes of . Furthermore, when added to growth media, these anesthetics lowered to an equal extent the maximum temperature of growth without affecting growth at low temperatures. The phase transition of the cytoplasmic membrane was not affected by the presence of the drugs. These data substantiate the hypothesis that the temperature range over which the cell can maintain the outer membrane in a mixed (gel + liquid crystalline) lipid state determines the temperature range over which growth can occur. 相似文献

6-Methyl[8-3H]deoxyguanosine in a synthetic DNA polymer, poly(dC, dG, m6dG), is demethylated by cell-free extracts of adapted by exposure to -methyl-′-nitro--nitrosoguanidine, as shown by the appearance of 3H-labeled deoxyguanosine in hydrolysates of the recovered DNA. The demethylating activity could not be detected in extracts of nonadapted . These results provide direct evidence that a previously described inducible repair activity in acts by demethylating 6-methylguanine at the DNA level. 相似文献

The ligand displacement reactions of oxyhemocyanin have been compared over a series of arthropods and molluscs. The arthropods (with the exception of ) are found to be more reactive than the molluscs, (kcancer = .04 hr?1, kbusycon = .002 hr?1, klimulus ? 10?4hr?1 N3? reactions). Correlation of the spectral properties of the oxy sites require these to be extremely similar with small differences being associated with shifts in the dd transition energies. The met produced by ligand displacement contains variable amounts of EPR detectable, group 2 exogenous ligand damaged sites (arthropods 25–35%, molluscs 3–9%, <1%). A parallel (arthropod > mollusc ~ ~ 0) group 2 ligand damaged site is also reported for the half met derivatives. 相似文献

Interaction of CDP-diglyceride with B membrane was studied by ESR spectroscopy. The results showed that the micelles of CDP-diglyceride molecules associate with membrane surface in the presence of Mg2+, whereas, when Mg2+ was omitted from the system, CDP-diglyceride molecules diffuse rapidly into membrane bilayer. The latter condition was shown to be more preferable for phosphatidylglycerol biosynthesis. 相似文献

Synthesis of T4 tRNAGln depends on normal levels of ribonuclease III. Infection of cell strains carrying a mutation in the gene for this enzyme resulted in severe depression in tRNAGln production, as revealed by chemical and suppressor tRNA analyses. The remaining seven T4 tRNAs were synthesized in the mutant cells. The requirement of ribonuclease III for synthesis of tRNAGln points to an essential cleavage by the enzyme of a precursor RNA containing tRNAGln. 相似文献

The regulation of the synthesis of operon enzymes was studied in streptomycin-resistant mutants temperature-sensitive for UGA suppression by normal tRNATrp. Our mutants carry a allele that when transferred to a different genetic background causes repression of trp operon enzyme synthesis at both low (35°C) and high (42°C) temperatures; however, in our mutants with an excess of tryptophan and at increased temperatures enzyme synthesis is derepressed. Based on our results and the sequence data of the R gene [Singleton et al. (1980) Nucleic Acids Res., 8, 1551–1560], we offer a model for the involvement of the limited misreading of UGA codons by normal charged tRNATrp in the autogenous regulation of the R gene expression. The UGA readthrough process may be a regulatory amplifier of the effect of tryptophan starvation. 相似文献
