To assess the role interleukins and mitogens play in regulating immunoglobulin (Ig) gene expression via the Ig enhancer and promoter, transgenic mice carrying two different Ig gene regulatory regions were generated. One, EkCAT, contains the Ig heavy chain enhancer (E) and the light chain promoter driving the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene. In the other, EkCAT, CAT is under the control of the promoter alone. E and relative activity were assessed by CAT assay. In EkCAT mice, low CAT expression was consistently found in spleen, bone marrow, mesenteric lymph node, and thymus but not in brain, lung, or kidney. In EkCAT mice, CAT expression was detectable just above background in lymphoid tissues, suggesting a basic level of tissue specificity in the absence of the enhancer. Whole spleen cell cultures prepared from the mice were treated with lymphokines and mitogens. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), concanavilin A (Con A), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interferon- (IFN-) increased CAT expression to varying extents in cells derived from EkCAT mice but not in spleen cells prepared from EkCAT mice. Thus, the presence of E, in addition to the promoter, is essential for the stimulation of CAT expression mediated by these factors. B cells from EkCAT mice were separated by density into populations of small and large cells. In untreated small B cells, no CAT expression was detected and only addition of LPS resulted in an increase in CAT expression. In large B cells, CAT was expressed at a low level without addition of exogenous factors. Incubation with LPS, IL-6, Con A and IFN- caused CAT expression to increase several-fold. This transgenic system provides a means to identify exogenous factors that activate Ig enhancers and promoters.This work has been submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree from the George Washington University. 相似文献

On the basis of symposium contributions onChlorella, Hibbertia, Eucalyptus, Ambrosia and on numerical approaches some fundamental problems of (bio)systematics, evolution, and taxonomic categories are discussed: Methods available for analysing affinities; conflicting evidence from phenetic, biochemical, cytogenetic and other analyses; further classification problems in cases of intermediacy, etc. While sibs of various levels and their natural hierarchy often can be objectively defined, this appears impossible for particular taxonomic levels itself (e. g. species). A single objective taxonomic system of organisms is unrealistic. Certain guiding lines for relative and practicable concepts of species and genus are proposed.Presented at the symposium Speciation and the Species Concept during the XIIth International Botanical Congress, Leningrad, July 8, 1975. 相似文献

Conservation status of parrot populations in an Atlantic rainforest area of southeastern Brazil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A census of four species of syntopic parrots was carried out using distance sampling methods on São Sebastião island, SE Brazil. Most of the 33593 ha island is covered by mature and secondary Atlantic rainforest. Almost 80% of these forests are within the Ilhabela Park. Although the species counted have marked differences in size and weight, density (individuals/km2) and estimated population size in 23500 ha of well-preserved forests were similar: Amazona farinosa (13.82±5.94; 3247±1395), Pionus maximiliani (15.79±7.04; 3712±1654), Brotogeris tirica (15.05±4.87; 3537±1143) and Pyrrhura frontalis (13.06±5.53; 3068±1298). Encounter rates of Forpus crassirostris and Pionopsitta pileata were very low, which suggests that there is only a small population of these species on the island. The São Sebastião forests still support healthy populations of parrots. Although woodpecker population estimates on the island are large enough to provide nesting sites for parrots, competition for holes with other secondary cavity nesters such as toucans, flycatchers and tytiras, and the selective cutting of dead trees for canoe construction, which is a common practice on the island, may limit hole availability for parrots. 相似文献

Summary Two specific -N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases involved in the branching and elongation of mucin oligosaccharide chains, namely, a 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminylsaminyltransferase that transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to Gal3GalNAc-Mucin to yield Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc-Mucin and a 3-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase that transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to Gal3(GlcNAC6)GalNAc-mucin to yield GlcNAc3Gal3 (GlcNAc6)GalNAc-Mucin were purified from the microsomal fraction of swine trachea epithelium. The 1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase was purified about 21,800-fold by procedures which included affinity chromatography on DEAE columns containing bound asialo Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein with Gal1,3GalNAc side chains. The apparent molecular weight estimated by gel filtration was found to be about 60 Kd. The purified enzyme showed a high specificity for Gal1,3GalNAc chains and the most active substrates were mucin glycoproteins containing these chains. The apparent Km of the 6-glucosaminyltrans-ferase for Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein containing Gal1,3GalNAc chains was 0.53 µM; for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, 12 µM; and for Gal 1,3GalNAc NO2ø, 4 mM. The activity of the 6-glucosaminyltransferase was dependent on the extent of glycosylation of the Gal3GalNAc chains in Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein.The best substrate for the partially purified 3-Glucosaminyltransferase was Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein containing Gal1,3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc side chains. This enzyme showed little or no activity with intact sialylated Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein or derivatives of this glycoprotein containing GalNAc or Gal1,3GalNAc side chains.The radioactive oligosaccharides formed by these enzymes in large scale reaction mixtures were released from the mucin glycoproteins by treatment with alkaline borohydride, isolated by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-6 and characterized by methylation analysis and sequential digestion with exoglycosidases. The oligosaccharide products formed by the 6- and 3-glucosaminyltransferases were shown to be Gal3(GlcNAC6) GalNAc and GlcNAc3 Gal3(GlcNAC6)GalNAc respectively.Taken collectively, these results demonstrate that swine trachea epithelium contains two specific N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases which catalyze the initial branching and elongation reactions involved in the synthesis of O-linked oligosaccharide chains in respiratory mucin glycoproteins. The first enzyme a 6-glucosaminyltransferase converts Gal3GalNAc chains in mucin glycoproteins to Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains. This product is the substrate for a second 3-glucosaminyltransferase which converts the Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains to GlcNAc3Gal(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains in the glycoprotein. The 3-glucosaminyltransferase did not utilize Gal3GalNAc chains as a substrate and this results in an ordered sequence of addition of N-acetylglucosamine residues to growing oligosaccharide chains in tracheal mucin glycoproteins.Abbreviations NeuNAc

Summary The occurrence of the AT chain (i.e. A75 Ile Thr) in different populations was evaluated through a study of 4250 cord blood samples and blood samples from more than 350 SS1 patients. High frequencies were observed in Italy, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Holland, but also in Japan, Vietnam, and India. The chain is (nearly) absent in the Black population of Ghana and Kenya, and low frequencies were observed in China and Australian aborigines. Only a few adult SS patients (18 out of 357) were AT heterozygotes. The chromosomes with the AT globin gene were mapped through an evaluation of the presence of 10 different restriction sites. The AT chromosomes from different populations were closely related and had the same subhaplotypes of [--++-+] (Hinc II 5 to ; Xmn I 5 to G; Hind III in G and A; Hinc II in and 3 to ), quite different from the subhaplotypes seen for AT negative chromosomes.2 This suggests a common ancestor which may have originated in Southern Europe. An evaluation of the chain production by both chromosomes in SS patients and -thalassemia heterozygotes was possible for subjects with an AT heterozygosity. It was concluded that in -thalassemia trait, the chain synthesis is directed for about two-thirds by the thalassemic chromosome and for about onethird by the normal chromosome; the contribution by the normal chromosome decreases with a decrease in total chain production.This is contribution #0890 of the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GA 30912, USA 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Die Feinstruktur von Mesospor und Endospor reifer Zygoten vonMicrasterias papillifera wurde untersucht. Das für die Resistenz der Zygoten gegenüber ungünstigen Umweltbedingungen wichtige Mesospor besteht aus vier Schichten von unterschiedlicher Elektronendichte. Es ist insgesamt 460–500 nm dick. Die Schichten Mes a und Mes c bestehen aus akkrustierten, dicht gepackten globulären Elementen eines Stoffes, der dem Sporopollenin ähnlich ist. Die Schicht Mes b zeigt ein fibrilläres Grundgerüst, wahrscheinlich aus Zellulose, in das Stoffe inkrustiert sind, die nicht mit denen der Schichten Mes a und Mes c identisch, aber gegen Abbauversuche ähnlich résistent sind.Die Schicht Mes d ist eine Übergangsschicht zum Endospor. Zwischen die Zellulose-Mikrofibrillen in Streutextur sind isolierte Partikel des Materials der Schicht Mes c eingestreut. Das etwa 650 nm dicke Endospor ist eine Zelluloseschicht mit Streutextur. Es wird als Wand der sogenannten Keimblase bei der Zygotenkeimung nach Sprengung von Exospor und Mesospor stark gedehnt.

Electron microscopical investigations on the structure and formation of the zygote wall inMicrasterias papillifera (Desmidiaceae) II. The structure of the mesospore and the endospore
Summary The mesospore (460–500 nm thick) which is responsible for the resistance of the zygote against desiccation during its resting period, consists of four layers of different electron density. The layers Mes a and Mes c are composed of densely packed amorphous globular elements of a substance resembling sporopollenine. The layer Mes b has a fibrillar, probably cellulosic frame. It is incrusted by a substance which is not identical with that of Mes a or Mes c but which shows a comparable resistance against degradation.The layer Mes d contains isolated particles such as in Mes c and cellulose microfibrils of the endospore. The endospore (650 nm thick) has foliate texture. This layer surrounds the protoplast after it has escaped from the ruptured exospore and mesospore during zygospore germination.

The properties of the -2-l-fucosyltransferases in submaxillary gland preparations from blood group ABH secrefors and non-secretors were compared. The level of activity in the non-secretor gland homogenates amounted to about 5% only of that found in the secretor gland preparations. The enzymes from the two sources differed in solubility properties, charge and affinities for donor and acceptor substrates. The enzyme from secretor glands showed a preference for acceptors with Type 1 [d-galactosyl(1–3)-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine] structures whereas the enzyme from non-secretor glands had a preference for Type 2 [d-galactosyl(1–4)-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine] structures.These results demonstrate that expression of the secretor gene (Se) is associated with a molecular form of the -2-l-fucosyltransferase that is different from the species present in the same tissue when theSe gene is not expressed. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Harzkonservierte Fossilien ermöglichen bei Anwendung adäquater Methoden die morphologische Analyse der Feinmerkmale bis zur Auflösungsgrenze des Lichtmikroskops, Beobachtung in verschiedenen Ebenen und Richtungen, und somit konkrete Rückschlüsse auf die Wirkung und Bedeutung der Einzelelemente und des Gesamtgefüges.Eine so eingehende funktionsmorphologische Analyse mit Berücksichtigung der Positionsvariation (graduell verschiedene Gestaltung in gesetzmäßiger Abhängigkeit von der Lage innerhalb der Gesamtfeder) der Einzelelemente wie Abzweigungs-, Knick-, Neigungswinkel, Krümmung, Länge, Dicke, Querschnitt, Dichte, Differenzierungsgrad der verschiedenen Abschnitte von Rhachis, Rami, Radii inklusive Häkchen und Cirren wird erstmals für fossile Vogelfedern geliefert (hier als Abriß zu einer dokumentarisch und thematisch ausführlicheren Darstellung in Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde).Diese Federn entstammen der untersten Unterkreide und sind damit nur relativ wenig jünger alsArchaeopteryx. Sie weisen extrem differenzierten Aufbau auf, der auf hohe flugtechnische und wärmeisolierende Leistungsfähigkeit schließen läßt.Die hier vorgelegten funktionsmorphologischen Ermittlungen an fossilen Körperkonturfedern mögen auch zu einer intensiveren Analyse der bis jetzt stark vernachlässigten Untersuchung ganz normaler Körperfedern rezenter Vögel anregen. Erst dann, nach umfassender Kenntnis ihrer Ausgestaltung innerhalb der verschiedensten rezenten Vogelgruppen, läßt sich überzeugend begründen, ob und wieweit die hier vorgelegten Federn dieses Unterkreide-Vogels noch ursprüngliche Elemente (Plesiomorphien) oder ihnen eigene Sonderbildungen (Autapomorphien) aufweisen; das gilt sowohl für morphologische wie für funktionelle Elemente der Gesamtstruktur.

Resin-preserved fossil bird's feathers from the Lowermost Cretaceous
Summary Parts of some feathers, originating from a single bird, were discovered in our collections of Lower Cretaceous amber from the Lebanon mountains — which, in general, contains the oldest terrestrial microfossils preserved with all morphological details.These contour feathers of the trunk, which are nearly as old as Archaeopteryx (Lowermost Cretaceous: Neocomian/Uppermost Jurassic: Kimmeridigian) were studied with magnifications of 500–900 in several levels by a special technique. (In normal fossils, i.e., impressions, the granulation of the sediment and the fossil's bulky carbon remainders cause a blurred image even at a magnification of merely 100).Special emphasis was laid on the study of the individual elements' gradual variation, depending on the respective position within the total feather (position variation). Where appropriate, an analysis of lengths, quantity, degree of differentiation, angle of inclination, break, and branching, cross-sectional view, curvature, etc. of the rhachis, rami, distal and proximal radii, barbicles, hooklets, etc. were undertaken. [Through measurements of the depth of details the effects caused by a sloping position (apparent variation) may be precisely separated from the real variation.]On the basis of such a detailed knowledge of structure and relative position a thorough functional analysis of the single elements as well as the total system is given.Principal features: The production of plain stability in the feather's center, and of flexibility in its apical and lateral rims; dispersion of forces in case of pressure or a pulling load; function of the hooklets (which donot serve as an interlocking mechanism while the feather is in the normal resting position, but function with increasing braking action only when a neighboring ramus diverges to a precisely defined extent from its resting position) including the mechanism of their unhooking; devices for the avoidance of harmful hooking into contacted parts of other feathers; production of maximal stability by minimal air resistance, and of minute chambers (<0,00001 mm3) with still air for optimal heat isolation.Apart from this abstract, further information, accompanied by numerous figures, will be given in a later paper in Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde.

The genetic organization and protein structure of T-cell receptors (TCR) and immunoglobulins (Ig) are remarkably similar. Through recombinant, physical, and peptide-based immunological studies we demonstrated that rabbit antisera generated against a recombinant single-chain TCR (scTCR) react with defined peptide epitopes of their constituent TCR and chains. These antisera cross-react with the light-chain Mcg as well as with peptides duplicating its covalent structure. Conversely, rabbit antisera generated to human light chains cross-reacted with the recombinant scTCR. Rabbit anti- antibodies purified on an scTCR affinity column bound to T-cell lines and to T and B lymphocytes from peripheral blood. Circular dichroism analysis demonstrated plots characteristic of -sheets for both Mcg and recombinant scTCR. Antisera directed against TCR -chain synthetic peptides reacted with scTCR, Mcg light-chain protein, synthetic peptides from regions of sequence homology in -chains, and Mcg. Based upon this homology and the serological cross-reactions which reflect conformational determinants, we suggest that the V/V antigen-binding domain of this particular monoclonal scTCR construct is substantially similar to the conformational structure of light chains. 相似文献

Unravelling the factors that contribute to the formation and the stability of -sheet structure in peptides is a subject of great current interest. A -hairpin, the smallest -sheet motif, consists of two antiparallel hydrogen-bonded -strands linked by a loop region. We have performed a statistical analysis on protein -hairpins showing that the most abundant types of -hairpins, 2:2, 3:5 and 4:4, have characteristic patterns of 13C and 13C conformational shifts, as expected on the basis of their and angles. This fact strongly supports the potential value of 13C and 13C conformational shifts as a means to identify -hairpin motifs in peptides. Their usefulness was confirmed by analysing the patterns of 13C and 13C conformational shifts in 13 short peptides, 10–15 residues long, that adopt -hairpin structures in aqueous solution. Furthermore, we have investigated their potential as a method to quantify -hairpin populations in peptides. 相似文献

The mammalian placenta is a unique organ for the study of developmental changes. Placentas of laboratory animals such as the mouse allow for the determination of the exact stage of pregnancy, which cannot be achieved with human placenta. In this study, neutral glycosphingolipids were isolated from mouse (inbred strain C57BL/6) placentas, from day 10 to day 18 of gestation, and were separated by high performance thin layer chromatography. Densitometric measurements after orcinol staining showed, at day 10 of gestation, the presence of mono-, tetra-, tri- and dihexosylceramide in decreasing quantities, as well as four unidentified spots. On day 12, the glycosphingolipid composition changed with the disappearance of the unidentified spots and the appearance of an orcinol positive spot migrating similarly to the Forssman antigen; no further changes occurred between days 12 and 18 of gestation. The identity of the Forssman-like glycosphingolipid with the Forssman antigen was established by binding of125I labelledHelix pomatia agglutinin (-GalNAc specific) to glycosphingolipids separated on high performance thin layer chromatography plates, and by the reaction of the isolated glycosphingolipid with a monoclonal anti-Forssman antibody. The appearance of the Forssman antigen at day 12 of gestation coincided with the day of final maturation of the mouse placenta and subsequent cessation of growth, suggesting a possible role of the glycosphingolipid during embryonic development.Abbreviations asialo-GM1

Résumé Nos méthodes expérimentales permettent l'isolement d'une larve de sexe déterminé par hôte de l'ectoparasite grégaire Dinarmus vagabundus et du solaitire, D. basalis. Des hôtes porteurs de 3 à 8 larves par hôte de D. vagabundus sont aussi isolés. Dans ces conditions la quantité de nourriture disponible est la même pour toutes les densités larvaires étudiées.Les larves élevées en solitaire des deux espèces assimilent une quantité de nourriture significativement supérieure à celle assimilée par les . Ceci conduit à des adultes de poids moyen supérieur à celui des . Le poids moyen des et des de D. vagabundus diminue significativement aux fortes densités larvaires. L'intensité de la liaison entre la quantité de nourriture assimilée et la biomasse produite s'affaiblit au fur et à mesure que la densité larvaire par hôte augmente.Les de D. vagabundus de poids moyen (0,42 mg) engendrent deux fois et demi plus de descendants que les lilliputiennes (0,20 mg) émergées d'hôtes à forte densité larvaire. Celles de D. basalis (0,65 g) sont moins prolifiques que les de D. vagabundus. 相似文献

Heterochromatin variation in Cryptobothrus chrysophorus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Northern and southern races of the Australian grasshopper Cryptobothrus chrysophorus share the same diploid chromosome number (2n=23, 24). The northern race is differentiated from the southern by fixed extra blocks of heterochromatin located distally on five of the six medium pairs of autosomes (M4, 5, 6, 8 and 9). The megameric M7 pair, which is completely heterochromatic in both races, is also frequently larger in the northern race. Additionally, while there is considerable polymorphism for the presence of supernumerary heterochromatic segments on the two smallest autosome pairs (S10, 11) in both races, the precise character of this polymorphism is strikingly different between them. That found in the north is both more extensive and more variable. An analysis of the patterns of C-banding obtained in neuroblast c-mitoses indicates even more variation within and between races than was anticipated from the patterns of heteropycnosis seen at first prophase of male meiosis. Thus, while the distal blocks on the M4, 6, 8 and 9 elements in the northern race invariably C-band those of the M5 never do. On the other hand polymorphisms for C-bands on the M5, 6, 8 and 9 are seen in some populations of the southern race but in regions which are not visibly heteropycnotic at meiosis. Polymorphisms for the pattern of C-banding also occur in the northern race populations in the M4, 6, 8 and 9 elements and some of these are associated with clear length differences in the chromosomes concerned. Others involve differences in the expression of the distal C-bands in M8 and 9 which vary from dark to intermediate. The supernumerary segments on the S10 and 11 pairs are especially variable in respect of their C-banding properties. Some are entirely C-banded, some show no C-banding whatsoever and some are composed of both banded and unhanded regions. Banding is again most pronounced, however, in the northern race. Finally the character of the megameric M7 is strikingly different in the two races not only in respect of its size, which is sometimes larger than that of the south, but also in respect of the extent of C-banding which is always more complex in the northern form irrespective of its size. 相似文献

Résumé Nous avons fait élever des larves d'Anergates atratulus par des ouvrières deMyrmica laevinodis à 22°C. Pour y parvenir, il n'est pas utile de faire hivernerensemble les larves d'Anergates et les ouvrières deMyrmica. La présence de larves autochtones n'empêche pas lesMyrmica d'élever des larves d'Anergates. Dans toutes les expériences lesMyrmica ont été soumises au fridavant de recevoir des larves d'Anergates. Aucune reine deMyrmica n'a été utilisée dans ces expériences.Sur les 64 larves d'Anergates que nous avons utilisées, 38 se sont transformées en imagos. C'est au début de l'adoption et au moment des métamorphoses que périrent la plupart des 26Anergates perdus. Les femelles vécurent en général 2 ou 3 jours et cherchèrent très tôt à quitter le nid natal. Les mâles vécurent 2 à 3 semaines.
Summary Larvae ofAnergates atratulus were experimentally reared by workers ofMyrmica laevinodis, at 22°C. An overwintering of both larvae ofAnergates and workers ofMyrmica is not necessary for the success of that experiment. The presence of larvae ofMyrmica does not keep theMyrmica from rearing larvae ofAnergates. The workers ofMyrmica have been cooled, in all the experiments, before receiving larvae ofAnergates. No queen ofMyrmica have been used in that experiments.38 of the 64 larvae ofAnergates used became imagos. Most of the 26 lostAnergates died at the beginning of the adoption and during the metamorphosis. The females lived generally 2 or 3 days and tried, very early, to leave their native nest. The males lived 2 or 3 weeks.

Myelin from adult rat brains was separated on a discontinuous sucrose gradient into three subfractions. Analysis of light, heavy and membrane fraction lipid classes was performed by HPTLC and densitometry while fatty acid composition was determinated by GLC. The more interesting results observed are: i) the membrane fraction resembles in its lipid and fatty acid composition other cell membranes (particulary oligodentrocytes); ii) light and heavy myelin are quite similar between them but the former has a higher content of sphingomyelin, a lower hydroxy/nohhydroxy cerebrosides ratio and a lower content of monoenoic fatty acids than the heavy subfraction. The results obtained could explain the different structures observed in each myelin subfraction since fatty acid composition, hydroxy fatty acids, sphingomyelin and cholesterol play a key role in the stability and structure of membranes. 相似文献

Treatment of 18-glycyrrhizic acid with a methanolic solution of HCl resulted in 1 : 1 mixture of methyl esters of 18- and 18-glycyrrhetinic acids. Benzoylation of the mixture led to methyl esters of 3-benzoyl-18-glycyrrhetinic acid and 3-benzoyl-18-glycyrrhetinic acid, which were separated by chromatography on silica gel. 18-Glycyrrhetinic acid was prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of methyl 3-benzoyl-18-glycyrrhetinate and was further used for the syntheses of 3-keto-18-glycyrrhetinic acid and methyl esters of 18-glycyrrhetinic acid and 3-keto-18-glycyrrhetinic acid. 相似文献

Human C8 is one of five complement components (C5b, C6, C7, C8, C9) that interact to form the cytolytic C5b-9 complex on target membranes. It is composed of three nonidentical subunits (C8, C8, C8) encoded by separate genes. C8 and C8 are linked on chromosome 1p32, whereas C8 is located on 9q22.3-q32. In this study, overlapping genomic clones were isolated and used to decipher the organization of the human C8 gene. The gene contains at least 11 exons spanning 70kb of DNA. When compared to C6, C8 and C9, there is a remarkable similarity in genomic organization, consistent with amino acid sequence comparisons that suggest these proteins are ancestrally related. Regions of each protein that are structurally similar are encoded in exons of correspondingly similar lengths with highly conserved boundaries and phases. Availability of genomic sequence also facilitated a more detailed analysis of C8 and C8 linkage. Based on analysis of genomic digests with cDNA probes, the loci were previously reported to be physically linked (< 2.5kb) and in a 5- 3 orientation. In the present study, results obtained using exon-specific probes indicate the loci are not as closely linked as initially believed. Furthermore, they suggest that cDNA probes used earlier yielded misleading information because they encode exons that are distributed across large segments of genomic DNA. 相似文献

Summary In these experiments, a considerable range of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases were demonstrated in vertebrate hepatic tissue; 3, 3, 6, 11, 16, 16, 17 and 20 were consistently present.3 hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was fairly active in mammalian liver, but consistently greater activity was seen with the 3 dehydrogenases which are probably concerned with steroid detoxication and excretion. 6 and 11 hydroxysteroids were only moderately well used, and both these were noticeably better used in male tissue, as were also 3, 3, 16 and 16 hydroxysteroids. All mammalian liver utilised 16, 16 and 17 compounds fairly well, and 20 was consistently but poorly used.This histochemical evidence agrees with biochemical and clinical evidence for the significance and nature of steroid metabolism in the liver. Many of the enzymes showing activity in the liver have known function in the detoxication and elimination of steroids; and 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is concerned in cholesterol biosynthesis as well as the biosynthesis of progesterane. To have shown contrasting patterns of activity between liver and steroid producing endocrine tissues is further evidence for the specificity of these techniques in the study of dehydrogenase distribution. 相似文献
