On the basis of analysis of published data, direct (using 13C) and indirect methods of estimating the amino acid transfer into mammary secretory cells in vivo were compared and the modified indirect method was used to determine quantitatively the shifts in transport activity in lactating cows and goats in trials with amino acid deficit or excess and in investigations that used a hyperinsulemic-euglycemic clamp. The analysis suggests that inadequacy of traditional use of extraction efficiency as a measure of tissue affinity to substrate is associated with two shortcomings: 1) if the changes in mammary blood flow are more expressed compared to transport activity, the arteriovenous difference and extraction efficiency may change in opposite direction to the shifts in transport activity; 2) due to the effect of nonlinearity, in situations characterized by small ratio of blood flow: the transport activity extraction efficiency is insensitive to shifts on activity of transport. The re-analysis of published data using the modified inbdirect method indicated that the deficit of individual amino acid caused a rise in activity of their transport and the excess decreased a net transfer into cell. The insulineuglycemic clamp treatments increased the activity of amino acid transport into the mammary cell and milk protein yield. The results obtained suggest that net transmembrane transfer of amino acid into mammary secretory cell can be controlled by the cell itself according to metabolic demand.  相似文献

In the present study, a new online monitoring method for the determination of the CO? sensitivity of micro-organisms, based on the values of the respiration factors [OTR (oxygen transfer rate) and CTR (carbon dioxide transfer rate)], obtained by using the RAMOS (respiratory activity monitoring system) device considering a variety of aeration rates in the measuring flask, is investigated. Based on the data of the OTR, obtained by RAMOS under a variety of specific aeration rates, the proposed new method was developed as an online monitoring method for CO? sensitivity of micro-organisms in shaken bioreactors. A maximum accumulated CO? concentration of 12% was derived in applied methods, provided that the cultivation system is carried out under optimal conditions. Additionally, to predict these conditions, an unsteady-state gas transfer model in shaken bioreactors would be very advantageous. The data of OTR obtained using the RAMOS device were analysed and recalculated by a programme considering the calibration factor (Cf). The major advantage of the new method is the possibility to determine the metabolic activity, regardless of manual sampling.  相似文献

A temperature sensor array chip was developed to monitor the thermal cycling profiles of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA amplification efficiency of each cycle was estimated through temperature data to fit the stochastic model. A fluorescence detector system was constructed to detect the PCR amplifications of latter cycles, at which the fluorescence intensity passed the optical detection threshold. Through monitoring of both temperature and fluorescence, DNA amplification efficiency curve was completed for quantification. The F?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) was employed to detect the measurements of the PCR product amount at the reaction endpoint. The chip-based, real-time PCR machine was constructed to perform the amplification efficiency curve-based quantification method. This novel method achieved the absolute quantification of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA using a single sample without the construction of the standard curve. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the 15 replicates inter assay experiments was less than 5.87%. Compared with the CV values obtained from the commercial machine in the range of 4.33-14.56%, it is noted that CV values of the prototype with respect to the samples of different initial concentration ranging from 10(7) to 10(3)copies/ml are almost equable.  相似文献

This paper methodologically compares the electro-fusion (EF) and intracytoplasmic injection (ICI) methods, as well as simultaneous fusion/activation (SA) and delayed activation (DA), in somatic nuclear transfer in pigs using fetal fibroblast cells. Comparison of the remodeling pattern of donor nuclei after nuclear transfer by ICI or EF showed that a high rate (80-100%) of premature chromosome condensation occurred in both cases whether or not Ca2+ was present in the fusion medium. Formation of pseudo-pronuclei tended to be lower for nuclear transfer performed by the ICI method (65% vs. 85-97%, p < 0.05). In vitro developmental potential of nuclear transfer embryos reconstructed with IVM oocytes using the EF method was higher than that of those produced by the ICI method (blastocyst formation: 19 vs. 5%, p < 0.05), and it was not improved using in vivo-matured oocytes as recipient cytoplasts. Embryos produced using SA protocol developed to blastocysts with the same degree of efficiency as those produced under the DA protocol (11 vs. 12%). Use of the EF method in conjunction with SA was shown to be an efficient method for producing cloned pigs based on producing a cloned normal pig fetus. However, subtle differences in nuclear remodeling patterns between the SA and DA protocols may imply variations in their nuclear reprogramming efficiency.  相似文献

Background: The current study presents a fully planar wireless power transfer (WPT) scheme with the aim of providing enough power for capsule endoscopy performance. The method’s implementation on patients is more convenient than that of the previous conventional WPT plans in which a cylindrical wire coil is placed around the patient’s body. In addition to this, while using the present printed power receiver structure, the capsule’s internal space of opens up for other components such as the image sensors and data transmitting components. To improve the efficiency, a two-layer printed coil has been used as the transmitter, a two-layer printed coil as the receiver and a power coil on the transmitter side excited at 13.56 MHz.Results: Applying this method, the efficiency has increased to more than 2% for the proposed structure. Moreover, the effect of the body tissue on power efficiency has been simulated and measured and the maximum specific absorption rate (SAR) value considered for the desired system. Conclusions: The obtained results indicate that the proposed system meets the medical standards requirements.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine the production efficiency of Japanese Black beef calves after transfer of bovine embryos derived from an in vitro procedure. In vitro-produced (IVP) embryos were obtained from in vitro maturation and fertilization and in vitro development by co-culture with cumulus cells until 7 or 8 days after insemination. In vivo-developed (IVD) embryos from superovulated Japanese Black heifers and cows 7 days after artificial insemination were used as a control group. Bovine embryos were transferred nonsurgically to recipient cows on Day 7 +/- 1 of the estrous cycle. Pregnancy was diagnosed by palpation per rectum at Day 60 to 70 after estrus. Pregnancy, abortion, perinatal accident and birth rates were examined according to the origin of embryos (IVP or IVD), the number of transferred embryos (single or twin) and the storage status (fresh or frozen-thawed). In Experiment 1, production efficiency by twin transfer of fresh IVP embryos was examined. Higher pregnancy rates (52 1% vs 42 9%, P < 0.05) and birth rates (47.0% vs. 33.0%, P < 0.05) were obtained by twin transfer than by single transfer of fresh IVP embryos. Thus, the twin transfer of fresh IVP embryos was effective for production of calves, although the birth rates for single and twin transfers of fresh IVD embryos were still higher (55.5% and 76.1%, P < 0.05). But the abortion and perinatal accident rates for twin transfer of fresh IVP embryos were also significantly greater than those for single and twin transfer of fresh IVD embryos (P < 0.05). In Experiment 2, production efficiency by twin transfer of frozen-thawed IVP embryos was examined. Either single or twin transfer of frozen-thawed IVP embryos resulted in a similar pregnancy rate (41.3% vs. 46.7%, P > 0.05) and birth rate (34.1% vs. 41.1%, P>0.05). Thus, in combination with frozen-thawed IVP embryos, the twin transfer did not enhance production efficiency. In conclusion, Japanese Black beef calves could effectively produce calves by twin transfer to Holstein recipients when using fresh IVP embryos, and by single transfer when using frozen-thawed IVP embryos.  相似文献

The developmental potential of bovine fetal fibroblasts was evaluated using nuclear transfer. Fibroblasts from a 37-day-old fetus were fused to enucleated oocytes before activation. Nuclei of starved (cultured for 8 days in medium containing 0.5% serum) fibroblasts supported the development of reconstructed embryos to the blastocyst stage significantly better than those of non-starved fibroblasts (39% versus 20%; P < 0.05). When nuclear transfer morulae derived from starved or non-starved fibroblasts were used for re-cloning, the proportion of blastocysts (52 and 55%, respectively) obtained with these embryonic nuclei was significantly higher than it was with fibroblast nuclei used in the first round of nuclear transfer (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). After transfer of blastocysts derived from non-starved and starved fibroblasts, respectively, 33% (1/3) and 78% (7/9) of recipients were pregnant on day 30 as assessed by ultrasonography. On day 90, the corresponding pregnancy rates were 33% (1/3) and 63% (5/8). Two live male twin calves, derived from non-starved fibroblasts, were delivered by Caesarean section at day 281 of gestation. This study demonstrates a positive effect of serum starvation on the efficiency of nuclear transfer using bovine fetal fibroblasts. The efficiency of nuclear transfer could be further increased by recloning.  相似文献

We report investigations of resonance energy transfer in the green fluorescent protein and calmodulin-based fluorescent indicator constructs for Ca(2+) called cameleons using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy of the full construct and of the component green fluorescent protein mutants, namely ECFP (donor) and EYFP (acceptor). EYFP displays a complicated photophysical behavior including protonated and deprotonated species involved in an excited-state proton transfer. When EYFP is excited in the absorption band of the protonated species, a fast nonradiative deactivation occurs involving almost 97% of the excited protonated population and leading to a low efficiency of excited-state proton transfer to the deprotonated species. ECFP displays a multiexponential fluorescence decay with a major contributing component of 3.2 ns. The time-resolved fluorescence data obtained upon excitation at 420 nm of Ca(2+)-free and Ca(2+)-bound YC3.1 cameleon constructs point to the existence of different conformations of calmodulin dependent on Ca(2+) binding. Whereas steady-state data show only an increase in the efficiency of energy transfer upon Ca(2+) binding, the time-resolved data demonstrate the existence of three distinct conformations/populations within the investigated sample. Although the mechanism of the interconversion between the different conformations and the extent of interconversion are still unclear, the time-resolved fluorescence data offer an estimation of the rate constants, of the efficiency of the energy transfer, and of the donor-acceptor distances in the Ca(2+)-free and Ca(2+)-bound YC3.1 samples.  相似文献

To assess the developmental potential of nuclear transfer embryos in cattle using mammary gland epithelial (MGE) cells derived from the colostrum, we compared the effectiveness of cloning using those cells and fibroblast cells derived from the ear. The fusion rate of the enucleated oocytes with fibroblast cells (75 +/- 4%) was significantly higher than that with MGE cells (56 +/- 7%, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the cleavage rate (85 +/- 3% vs. 91+/- 2%) or in the developmental rate to the blastocyst stage (35 +/- 6% vs. 35 +/- 5%) using MGE cells vs. fibroblast cells as donor nuclei (P>0.05). After transfer of blastocysts derived from nuclear transfer embryos produced using MGE cells and fibroblast cells, 13% (4/31) and 16% (6/37) of recipient heifers were pregnant on Day 42 as assessed by ultrasonography, respectively. Two of the 4 and 4 of the 6 recipients of embryos with MGE cell- and fibroblast cell-derived nuclei, respectively, aborted within 150 days of pregnancy. Four live female calves were obtained from MGE cells or fibroblast cells. However, one died from internal hemorrhage of the arteria umbilicalis. The other three calves were normal and healthy. There were no differences in the pregnancy rate or calving rate when using MGE cells vs. fibroblast cells. Microsatellite DNA analyses confirmed that the cloned calves were genetically identical to the donor cows and different from the recipient heifers. We conclude that colostrum-derived MGE cells have the developmental potential to term by nuclear transfer, and the efficiency of development of those cloned embryos was the same as that of embryos obtained using fibroblast cells as donor nuclei, although there was a significant difference in the fusion rate. This method using MGE cells derived from colostrum, which is obtained easily and safely from live adult cows, is more advantageous for cloning with somatic cells.  相似文献

The Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO)-protein and the FMO-reaction center (RC) core complex from the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum were examined at 6 K by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The absorption spectrum of the RC core complex was obtained by a subtraction method and found to have fiye peaks in the QY region, at 797, 808, 818, 834 and 837 nm. The efficiency of energy transfer from carotenoid to bacteriochlorophyll a in the RC core complex was 23% at 6 K, and from the FMO-protein to the core it was 35%. Energy transfer from the FMO-protein to the core complex was also measured in isolated membranes of Prosthecochloris aestuarii from the action spectra of charge separation. Again, a low efficiency of energy transfer was obtained, both at 6 K and at room temperature.Abbreviations BChl- bacteriochlorophyll - P840- primary electron donor - RC- reaction center - FMO-protein- Fenna-Matthews-Olson-protein  相似文献

Detailed studies of the mechanisms of macromolecular conformational transitions such as protein folding are enhanced by analysis of changes of distributions for intramolecular distances during the transitions. Time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements yield such data, but the more readily available kinetics of mean FRET efficiency changes cannot be analyzed in terms of changes in distances because of the sixth-power dependence on the mean distance. To enhance the information obtained from mean FRET efficiency kinetics, we combined the analyses of FRET efficiency kinetics and equilibrium trFRET experiments. The joint analysis enabled determination of transient distance distributions along the folding reaction both in cases where a two-state transition is valid and in some cases consisting of a three-state scenario. The procedure and its limits were tested by simulations. Experimental data obtained from stopped-flow measurements of the refolding of Escherichia coli adenylate kinase were analyzed. The distance distributions between three double-labeled mutants, in the collapsed transient state, were determined and compared to those obtained experimentally using the double-kinetics technique. The proposed method effectively provides information on distance distributions of kinetically accessed intermediates of fast conformational transitions induced by common relaxation methods.  相似文献

The donor cells from different individuals and with different foreign genes introduced were investigated to determine their effects on the efficiency of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). The bovine ear fibroblast from different individuals was isolated, cultured, and then transfected with foreign genes to establish the stable cell lines, which were used as donor cells for nuclear transfer. The ooeytes were obtained through ovum pick up operation. After in vitro maturation, the M II phase oocytes were selected as receptors for nuclear transfer.The reconstructed embryos were cultured in vitro and observed at 2 h, 48 h, and 7 days after transfer to assess the rate of fusion using cleaved and blastoeyst as the parameters of SCNT efficiency. The donor cells from different individuals (04036, 06081, 06088, and 06129)had no obvious effect on the fusion and cleaved rate, whereas there was significant difference in the blastocyst rate (P<0.05), and the rate was 62.3%, 37.0%, 35.1%, and 15.6%, respectively. There was no significant difference among the rate of fusion, cleaved and blastocyst in donor cells with different foreign genes (P>0.05). It was concluded that the genetic background of the donor cells could affect the effi-ciency of SCNT, while the introduction of foreign genes into the donor cells had no obvious effect on the efficiency. This study provides useful information for the SCNT and would benefit in promoting the efficiency.  相似文献

Phase transfer studies were conducted to evaluate the solubilization of soy hull peroxidase (SHP) in reverse micelles formed in isooctane/butanol/hexanol using the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The effect of various parameters such as pH, ionic strength, surfactant concentration of the initial aqueous phase for forward extraction and buffer pH, type and concentration of salt, concentration of isopropyl alcohol and volume ratio for back extraction was studied to improve the efficiency of reverse micellar extraction. The active SHP was recovered after a complete cycle of forward and back extraction. A forward extraction efficiency of 100%, back extraction efficiency of 36%, overall activity recovery of 90% and purification fold of 4.72 were obtained under optimised conditions. Anionic surfactant sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) did not yield good results under the conditions studied. The phase transfer of soy hull peroxidase was found to be controlled by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions during forward and back extraction respectively.  相似文献

Native DNA photolyase from Escherichia coli contains 1,5-dihydroFAD (FADH2) plus 5,10-methenyltetrahydropteroylpolyglutamate. Quantum yield and action spectral data for thymine dimer repair were obtained by using a novel multiple turnover approach under aerobic conditions. This method assumes that catalysis proceeds via a (rapid-equilibrium) ordered mechanism with light as the second substrate, as verified in steady state kinetic studies. The action spectrum observed with native enzyme matched its absorption spectrum and an action spectrum simulated based on an energy transfer mechanism where dimer repair is initiated either by direct excitation of FADH2 or by pterin excitation followed by singlet-singlet energy transfer to FADH2. The quantum yield observed for dimer repair with native enzyme (phi Native = 0.722 +/- 0.0414) is similar to that observed with enzyme containing only FADH2 (phi EFADH2 = 0.655 +/- 0.0256), as expected owing to the high efficiency of energy transfer from the natural pterin to FADH2 [EET = 0.92]. The quantum yield observed for dimer repair decreased (2.1-fold) when the natural pterin was partially (68.8%) replaced with 5,10-CH(+)-H4folate (phi obs = 0.342 +/- 0.0149). This is consistent with the energy transfer mechanism (phi calc = 0.411 +/- 0.0118) since a 2-fold lower energy transfer efficiency is observed when the natural pterin is replaced with 5,10-CH(+)-H4folate (EET = 0.46) (Lipman & Jorns, 1992). The action spectrum observed for 5,10-CH(+)-H4folate-supplemented enzyme matched a simulated action spectrum which exhibited a small (5 nm) hypsochromic shift as compared with the absorption spectrum (lambda max = 385 nm).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Summary A cell-free transfer system was used to measure capacity of brain membranes to support membrane renewal. To study transfer in brain, radiolabeled donor microsome fractions were prepared using brain slices from rats or frozen human brain autopsy specimens. Acceptor fractions, prepared from fresh or frozen rat brain or frozen human brain autopsy specimens, were immobilized on nitrocellulose. The complete reconstituted transfer system contained ATP plus ATP-regenerating system (or NADH) as a source of energy and brain cytosol. Slices of frozen brain incorporated acetate into membrane lipids with approximately the same efficiency as fresh brains. This efficiency declined with storage at 4 °C but only slowly. Donor fractions labeled with acetate from frozen slices exhibited specific transfer (37 °C minus 4 °C) of labeled membrane lipids with efficiencies comparable to fresh. The acceptor fraction could be prepared either from fresh or frozen material. Transfer was on the average two-fold stimulated by ATP at 37 °C compared to no ATP. Transfer also was stimulated by NADH. Analysis of linear transfer rates between 0 and 30 min revealed no significant effect of delay time or of time of prolonged storage on transfer efficiency beyond an initial decline of ca. 25% observed within the first two weeks after freezing. A decline of transfer was obtained with brains as the animals aged.  相似文献
