,-Dehydroamino acids are useful peptide modifiers. However, their stereoelectronic properties still remain insufficiently recognized. Based on FTIR experiments in the range of s(N-H), AI, AII and s(C=C) and ab initio calculations with B3LYP/6-31G*, we studied the solution conformational preferences and the amide electron density perturbation of Ac-Xaa-NHMe, where Xaa = Ala, (E)-Abu, (Z)-Abu, (Z)-Leu, (Z)-Phe and Val. Each of these dehydroamides adopts a C5 structure, which in Ac-Ala-NHMe is fully extended and accompanied by the strong C5 hydrogen bond. Interaction with bond C=C lessens the amidic resonance within the flanking amide groups. The N-terminal C=O bond is noticeably shorter, both amide bonds are longer than the corresponding bonds in the saturated entities and the N-terminal amide system is distorted. Ac-Ala-NHMe constitutes an exception. Its C-terminal amide bond is shorter than the standard one and both amide systems are ideally planar. Ac-(E)-Abu-NHMe shares stereoelectronic features with both Ac-Ala-NHMe and (Z)-dehydroamides. 相似文献

EDTA-assisted heavy-metal uptake by poplar and sunflower grown at a long-term sewage-sludge farm 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Little information is available concerning the efficacy of chelates applied to biosolids (sewage-sludge)-treated soil for heavy-metal removal. The purpose of the experiment was to determine the availability to sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides Marsh. × P. nigra L.) seedlings, of non-essential (Cd, Ni, Pb) and essential heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) in field soil injected with biosolids since 1976 and treated with ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in 2001. Sunflower was grown at two densities, 20000 and 60000 plants/ha, and poplar at 10000 plants/ha. The tetrasodium salt of EDTA was applied at rates of 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g EDTA salt per kg surface (25-cm depth) soil. The EDTA did not affect uptake by poplar of the three non-essential (Cd, Ni, Pb) and four essential (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) heavy metals. For sunflower, the 1.0 g/kg rate of chelate addition resulted in maximal removal of the three non-essential heavy metals (Cd, Ni, Pb). Uptake of the essential heavy metals by sunflower was little affected by the EDTA. At the 20000 plants/ha density, leaves of sunflower grown with 1.0 g EDTA Na42H2O per kg soil accumulated more Cd, Ni, and Pb than leaves of sunflower grown without the EDTA salt. At this density, concentrations of Cd in leaves of sunflower without EDTA and with 1.0 g/kg EDTA salt were 2.2 and 6.5 g/g, respectively; for Ni, they were 6.7 and 19.2 g/g, respectively; and for Pb, they were 15.6 and 46.9 g/g, respectively. At the 60000 plants/ha density, stems of sunflower grown with 1.0 g EDTA Na42H2O per kg soil accumulated more Cd, Ni, and Pb than stems of sunflower grown without the EDTA salt. At this density, concentrations of Cd in stems of sunflower without EDTA and with 1.0 g/kg EDTA salt were 0.6 and 4.6 g/g, respectively; for Ni, they were 1.7 and 17.6 g/g, respectively; and for Pb, they were 5.2 and 42.8 g/g, respectively. Removal of the non-essential heavy metals by sunflower was greater at the higher plant density (60000 plants/ha) compared to the lower one (20000 plants/ha). 相似文献

Summary The osmotic potentials of needles were compared from numerous trees that had been classified according to needle loss along an altitude profile. With the increasing degree of damage of the trees, the maximum and minimum values deviated more strongly above and below the common mean of all samples. The level of water content of the needles unequivocally reflected the vitality of the trees. Experiments covering a whole vegetation period were performed on a tree pair selected from a natural stand. They were designed to demonstrate differences in water balance between the healthy and damaged state of the trees. For the damaged tree, measurements of the water potentials of single needles showed a greater reduction of potential during the course of the day compared to the healthy tree. Recovery in the evenings was slower and often incomplete. The osmotic potentials of damaged and healthy shoots measured in individual needles also differed both predawn and especially after transpiration stress. Depending on weather and soil desiccation, the differences were more or less pronounced. In the damaged tree, the rises in potential after saturation of the twigs fell far short of the healthy tree. Reduction of water potential, osmotic potential and relative water content under comparable stress conditions suggest a reduced tolerance of drought by damaged trees. In the context of earlier experiments this result was ascribed to a lack of stomatal control, and long-term pollution effects were thus explained as a specific disturbance of hydroregulation. 相似文献

The seed storage globulins from sixHelianthus and four hybrids were studied using mono and bidimensional gel SDS electrophoresis (+ 2 mercaptoethanol). The polypeptide composition of each subunit was determined. Different pairs are specifically expressed according to the species studied. Three typical patterns were discriminated. All the studied species exhibit five subunits: two of them are expressed in all the species (11 and 22). The subunit corresponding to the 11 pair is present inH. petiolaris and in the three populations ofH. annuus studied. The 2b2 pair is common toH. annuus andH. argophyllus. H. petiolaris presents two specific 2a2 and 44 pairs andH. annuus a specific 33 pair. InH. argophyllus 11 33 or 44 are never observed but are replaced by 13 and 31 pairs. Some globulins, poorly represented, are of forms but present chains of higher molecular weights (in the range 54–56 kDa). Expressing variations in the banding patterns between these species by the use of a similarity index reveals complete identity between the three populations ofH. annuus. Identity between the twoH. petiolaris studied is also observed.H. annuus andH. argophyllus appear to be closer to each other thanH. petiolaris concerning the seed storage globulins. 相似文献

The -isopropylmalate synthase (EC 4.1.3.12) from Alcaligenes eutrophus H 16 was inhibited by l-leucine and -ketoisocaproate. The extent of inhibition was influenced by substrate- and inhibitor concentrations as well as by the pH. Intermediary plateaus, which always appeared in the inhibition curves, suggested cooperative effects. The maximal Hill coefficient was found to be two. At low concentrations of leucine the inhibition mechanism was of the competitive type with respect to substrate acetyl coenzyme A and of the noncompetitive type with respect to substrate -ketoisovalerate. The inhibition was specifically relieved by the addition of valine or isoleucine. The anomalous effect of temperature on enzyme activity was diminished by leucine. The Arrhenius energy of the reaction increased from about 11 kcal/mole in the absence of leucine to about 18 kcal/mole in the presence of leucine. The further addition of valine reversed this effect. The physiological relevance of the -ketoisocaproate-mediated inhibition is discussed.Abbreviations IPM

Summary On exposure to high temperature of a temperature-sensitive RNA polymerase subunit (rpoC92) mutant of Escherichia coli, selective reduction was observed in the rate of synthesis of a group of proteins including RNA polymerase subunit. The finding that the synthesis of subunit but not subunit was specifically repressed in this mutant grown at non-permissive temperature indicates that the functionally intact RNA polymerase is required for the synthesis of subunits be coordinated. In addition, the assembly of newly synthesized RNA polymerase subunits was inefficient in this mutant at the steps where altered subunit was involved, and the unassembled enzyme subunits were rapidly and preferentially degraded. During recovery to non-restricted growth, the synthesis of both and subunits was transiently enhanced in parallel leading to recovery of the intracellular concentration of functional RNA polymerase. 相似文献

The thiazolyl-peptide antibiotic GE2270A, an inhibitor of the elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli (EcEF-Tu), was used to study the effects produced in the biochemical properties of the archaeal functional analogue elongation factor 1 from Sulfolobus solfataricus (SsEF-1). GE2270A did not substantially affect the poly(U)-directed-poly(Phe) incorporation catalyzed by SsEF-1 and the formation of the ternary complex SsEF-1·GTP·Phe-tRNAPhe. On the other hand, the antibiotic was able to increase the GDP/GTP exchange rate of SsEF-1; nevertheless, this improvement was not associated with an increase in the catalytic activity of the enzyme. In fact, GE2270A inhibited both the intrinsic GTPase of SsEF-1 (GTPaseNa) and that stimulated by ribosomes. Interestingly, GTPaseNa of both intact and C-terminal-deleted SsEF-1 resulted in a greater sensitivity to the antibiotic with respect to SsEF-1 lacking both the M- and C-terminal domains. This result suggested that, similar to what is found for EcEF-Tu, the M domain of SsEF-1 is the region of the enzyme most responsible for the interaction with GE2270A. The different behavior observed in the inhibition of protein synthesis with respect to EcEF-Tu can be ascribed to the different adaptive structural changes that have occurred in SsEF-1 during evolution. 相似文献

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

The Ca2+ channel 1B subunit is a pore-forming component capable of generating N-type Ca2+ channel activity. Although N-type Ca2+ channel plays a role in a variety of neuronal functions, 1B-deficient mice exhibit normal life span without apparent abnormalities of behavior, histology or plasma norepinephrine level, presumably owing to compensation by some other Ca2+ channel 1 or subunit. In this study, we studied the levels of 1A, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mRNAs in adrenal gland of 1B-deficient mice. The 1A mRNA in homozygous mice was expressed at higher level than in wild or heterozygous mice, but no difference in the expression levels of 1C, 1D, 1E, 1, 2, 3 and 4 was found among wild, heterozygous and homozygous mice. The protein level of 1A in homozygous mice was also expressed at higher level than in wild or heterozygous mice. To examine whether increased expression is induced by cis-regulatory element within 5-upstream region of 1A gene, we examined lacZ expression in 1B-deficient × 1A6.3-lacZ mice (carrying a 6.3-kb 5-upstream fragment of 1A gene fused to E. coli lacZ reporter gene), which express lacZ in medullar chromaffin cells, but not in cortex. The levels of lacZ expression in homozygous 1B-deficient × 1A6.3-lacZ mice were higher than in wild or heterozygous mice. Therefore, a possible explanation of the normal behavior and plasma norepinephrine level of 1B-deficient mice is that compensation by 1A subunit occurs and that 6.3-kb 5-upstream region of 1A gene contains enhancer cis-element(s) for compensation in adrenal medulla chromaffin cells.

Thirteen species of methanogenic bacteria were analyzed for corrinoids. Pseudo vitamin B12 (Co-[-(7-adenyl)]-cobamide) was the predominant cobamide of methanococcales and Methanoplanus. All other methanogens contained factor III (Co-[-(5-hydroxybenzimidazolyl)]-cobamide). Vitamin B12 (Co-[-(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl)]-cobamide) was not detected in any of these archaebacteria. Their cobamide content was 100 to 1400 nmol per gram cell dry weight, indicating that abundant cobamides are essential for methanogens. 相似文献

Functionally active preparations of Na+,K+-ATPase isozymes from calf brain that contain catalytic subunits of three types (1, 2, and 3) were obtained using two approaches: a selective removal of contaminating proteins by the Jorgensen method and a selective solubilization of the enzyme with subsequent reconstitution of their membrane structure by the Esmann method. The ouabain inhibition constants were determined for the isozymes. The real isozyme composition of the Na+ pump from the grey matter containing glial cells and the brain stem containing neurons was determined. The plasma membranes of glial cells were shown to contain mainly Na+,K+-ATPase of the 11 type and minor amounts of isozymes of the 22(1) and the 31(2) type. The axolemma contains 21 and 31 isozymes. A carbohydrate analysis indicated that 11 enzyme preparations from the brain grey matter substantially differ from the renal enzymes of the same composition in the glycosylation of the 1 isoform. An enhanced sensitivity of the 3 catalytic subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase from neurons to endogenous proteolysis was found. A point of specific proteolysis in the amino acid sequence PNDNR492 Y493 was localized (residue numbering is that of the human 3 subunit). This sequence corresponds to one of the regions of the greatest variability in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-subunits, but at the same time, it is characteristic of the 3 isoforms of various species. The presence of the 3 isoform of tubulin (cytoskeletal protein) was found for the first time in the high-molecular-mass Na+,K+-ATPase 31 isozyme complex isolated from the axolemma of brain stem neurons, and its binding to the 3 catalytic subunit was shown. 相似文献

The interaction of125I-labeledErythrina cristagalli agglutinin (ECA) with neutral glycosphingolipids on thin layer chromatograms was examined by the overlay technique followed by radioautography. The lectin bound topara-globoside with a sensitivity about 10 times higher than to lactosylceramide or globoside, in agreement with the specificity of the lectin forN-acetyllactosamine. The lower limit of detection ofpara-globoside was about 0.66 nmol. The specific binding of ECA to this glycolipid was confirmed by a highly sensitive enzyme-linked lectin assay (ELLA), utilizing the horseradish peroxidase-avidin-biotin system for detection of bound lectin. Overlays of neutral glycosphingolipid extracts from human erythrocyte membranes and from human granulocytes with ECA demonstrated that the lectin can be employed for the detection of small amounts ofpara-globoside in biological materials also in the presence of excess globoside. No staining was obtained when thin layer chromatograms of neutral glycosphingolipid extracts from rabbit erythrocyte membranes were overlayed with125I-ECA. Afterin situ treatment of the chromatograms with -galactosidase, the lectin bound to several components, one of which had a mobility corresponding to that of the pentahexosylceramide Gal3Gal4GlcNAc3Gal4Glc1Cer, the major neutral glycosphingolipid of rabbit erythrocytes, thus providing further evidence for the specificity of ECA forpara-globoside.Abbreviations GSL

Summary Using disomic chromosome substitution lines based on the susceptible wheat cultivar Chinese Spring, loose smut resistance of wheat cultivars Hope and Thatcher was shown to be conferred in each case by a single dominant major gene carried on chromosome 7 A (Hope) or 7 B (Thatcher). Partial resistance was determined by genes on an additional eight Hope or seven Thatcher chromosomes, and similarities were evident between the partial resistance genotypes ofHope and Thatcher. Chinese Spring exhibited a mean infection value of approximately 50%, indicating a significant level of partial resistance, which was found to be due, in part, to genes on the homoeologous chromosome arms 1 As, 1 Es and 1 Ds, and to cytoplasmic genes. Substitution of the Chinese Spring nucleus into the cytoplasm of Aegilops squarrosa, Ae. variabilis or Ae. mutica resulted in increased susceptibility to Ustilago tritici. Several alloplasmic lines of the resistant wheat cultivars Selkirk and Chris exhibited race-specific susceptibility to U. tritici. 相似文献

GABAA-receptors, the major synaptic targets for the neutotransmitter GABA, are gated chloride channels. By their allosteric drug-induced modulation they serve as molecular control elements through which the levels of anxiety, vigilance, muscle tension and epileptiform activity can be regulated. Despite their functional prominence, the structural requirements of fully functional GABAA-receptors are still elusive. Expression of cDNAs coding for the 1- and 1-subunits of rat brain yielded GABA-gated chloride channels which were modulated by barbiturates but displayed only agonistic responses to ligands of the benzodiazepine receptor. GABAA-receptors with fully functional benzodiazepine receptor sites were formed when the 1- and 1-subunits were coexpressed with the 2-subunit of rat brain. These receptors, however, failed to show cooperativity of GABA in gating the channel. In order to determine the subunit repertoire available for receptor assembly in different neuronal populations in vivo, the sites of subunit gene expression were (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 2) mapped by in situ hybridization histochemistry in brain sections. The mRNAs of the 1-, 1- and 2-subunits were co-localized e.g. in mitral cells of olfactory bulb, pyramidal cells of hippocampus as well as granule cells of dentate gyrus and cerebellum. The lack of colocalization in various other brain areas points to an extensive receptor heterogeneity. The presence of multiple GABAA-receptors in brain may contribute to synaptic plasticity, differential responsiveness of neurons to GABA and to variations in drug profiles.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Erminio Costa 相似文献

Exchange-out of amide tritium from labeled -subunit of 33 complex of F0F1-ATP synthase was not accelerated by ATP, suggesting that hemagglutinin-type transition of coiled-coil structure did not occur in -subunit. Local topology of nucleotide binding site and switch II region of G-protein resemble those of F1- subunit and other proteins which catalyze ATP-triggered reactions. Probably, binding of nucleotide to F0F1-ATP synthase induces conformational change of the switch II-like region with transforming subunit structure from open to closed form and this transformation results in loss of hydrogen bonds with the subunit, thus enabling the subunit to move. 相似文献

Chloroplast DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms have been used to reconstruct the maternal phylogeny of all the known taxa in the small neotropical legume genusLeucaena. Three major plastome clades were recognized, but these did not conform with relationships between the taxa proposed on other characters from morphology, cytology or hybridization. The maternal parentage of tetraploids within the genus has been proposed. Evidence for introgression was found between diploidL. diversifolia and tetraploidL. diversifolia. The implications of these results for the origin of the cultivated taxa are discussed. 相似文献
