A mixed gas of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen was discharged over 100 ml of 0.2 M NaHCO3 solution in a 5 liter discharge apparatus which simulates the primitive Earth. The formation of cyanate, which is one of the possible primitive condensing agents, was demonstrated by the detection of [Cu(Py)2] (NCO)2 that was formed by the addition of copper sulfate-pyridine reagent to the solution. In a series of experiments the partial pressures of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the starting gas were fixed at 10 cm Hg and 20 cm Hg, respectively, whereas that of hydrogen was varied between 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 cm Hg. The discharges were continued for one week. The rate of appearance of cyanate was strongly dependent upon the partial pressure of hydrogen. The maximum rate of the production of cyanate at the initial stage of the discharge was in the case of 10 cm Hg of hydrogen, in which condition the starting gas is in a predominantly oxidized state. In this case the concentration of cyanate reached about 0.012 M after one day. Another discharge experiment was carried out with 0.2 M phosphate solution, and the production of carbamyl phosphate was demonstrated through the formation of ATP by the incubation of the discharged solution with ADP and carbamyl phosphokinase. 相似文献

An electric discharge was made through a gas mixture of N2 (7 cm Hg), H2 (14 cm Hg) and CO2 (14 cm Hg) over an aqueous solution (100 ml, pH 7.6) of adenosine (0.02 M) and phosphate (0.2 M) in a 5 liter vessel simulating primitive earth conditions. AMP was produced at a constant rate in the solution, and the yield reached about 2% in two months. 相似文献

A simple and efficient system for continuous ATP regeneration is described. The procedure is based on the enzyme-catalyzed reaction between carbamyl phosphate and ADP. The carbamyl phosphate was generated in situ by reaction between potassium cyanate and potassium phosphate. The enzyme, carbamyl phosphokinase, was isolated from extracts of Streptococcus faccalis and partially purified. Immobilization of the enzyme was achieved using glutaraldehyde-treated alkylamine glass giving 200–250 units of activity per gram of glass. A column of carbamyl phosphokinase on glass was used to form ATP continuously from ADP, phosphate, and cyanate and lost approximately 16% of the initial activity after 14 days operation at room temperature. 相似文献

The hydrolysis of cyanate to give ammonia and CO2 catalyzed by extracts of liver and kidney from rats or guinea pigs is not due to the presence of cyanase as previously reported. Instead, the hydrolysis apparently results from the chemical reaction of cyanate with phosphate at pH 6.0 to give carbamyl phosphate which is subject to hydrolysis catalyzed by a phosphatase in the extracts. 相似文献

Electric discharges between a pair of carbon electrodes were continued for 50 days in a vessel of 5 liters in volume which initially contained nitrogen at a pressure of 15 cm Hg and 200 ml of water. The pressure in the vessel was gradually increased to 60 cm Hg at the end of the run. Gas chromatographic analysis showed that the increase of the pressure mainly results from the production of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The concentration of ammonia in the aqueous sample was increased to 0.05M in 50 days of the discharge. After hydrolysis, glycine and serine were detected at the concentrations of 3.4×10–3
M and 0.057×10–3
M in the final solution, respectively, though glycine was found only at the concentration of 6×10–6
M before hydrolysis. TLC analysis indicated the presence of hydantoic acid, N-formylglycine, diketopiperazine, and polymers of glycine. 相似文献

The reaction mechanism of aspartate transcarbamylase from mouse spleen has been determined, using steady-state kinetics, isotope-exchange experiments, inhibition studies with a transition-state analog, and product-inhibition studies. Intersecting reciprocal plots obtained when one substrate was varied against different concentrations of the second substrate indicate that the mechanism is sequential. The transition-state analog, N-(phosphonacetyl)-l-aspartate, was a powerful inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamylase, with an inhibition constant (Ki) of 2.6 × 10?8m at 37 °C and pH 7.4 in 0.05 m Na HEPES buffer. PALA gave competitive inhibition with carbamyl phosphate and noncompetitive inhibition with l-aspartate, indicating that carbamyl phosphate must bind before aspartate for catalysis to occur. A ping-pong mechanism in which carbamyl phosphate binds first was excluded by isotope-exchange experiments, since [32P]inorganic phosphate was not incorporated into carbamyl phosphate in the absence of aspartate. Product-inhibition studies showed that only inorganic phosphate and carbamyl phosphate gave a competitive pattern; all other combinations of substrate and product gave noncompetitive inhibition patterns when incubations were carried out at subsaturating concentrations of the second substrate. These inhibition patterns showed that carbamyl phosphate binds first, aspartate binds second, carbamyl aspartate dissociates first, and phosphate dissociates second. 相似文献

Importance of transient storage zones for ammonium and phosphate retention in a sandy-bottom Mediterranean stream 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
1. The ability of hyporheic sediments to exchange water and retain ammonium and phosphate in the Riera Major stream ,North-East Spain, under different discharge conditions was measured by conducting short-term nutrient and chloride additions. 2. The mean exchange coefficients from free-flowing water to the storage zone (k1) and vice versa (k2) were 0.82 × 10–4 s??1 and 7 × 10??3 s??1, respectively. The ratio of storage zone cross-sectional area to stream cross-sectional area (AS/A) averaged 2.8 × 10–2 and was negatively correlated with discharge (r = –0.85, d.f. = 13, P < 0.001). 3. The percentage of hyporheic zone water which came from surface water varied as a function of discharge and hyporheic depth, ranging between 33% and 95% at 25 cm depth, and between 78% and 100% at 10 cm depth. 4. The nutrient retention efficiency in the hyporheic zone at 10 cm depth measured as uptake length (Swh) was less than 3.3 cm for ammonium and 37 cm for phosphate. Higher nutrient retentions were measured in the sediments at 10 cm depth than at 25 cm, indicating that near-surface sediments were involved more actively in phosphate retention than the deeper hyporheic sediments. The lack of ammonium at any depth of the hyporheic zone showed that ammonium was very rapidly taken up in the surfacial sediments. 相似文献

A model primitive gas containing a mixture of N2, CO and water vapor over a water pool (300 mL, 37 °C) was subjected to electric discharges. The discharge vessel (7 L in volume) was equipped with a CO2 absorber (The CO2 being formed during the discharge), thus simulating possible absorption of CO2 in the primitive ocean. The vessel also has a cold trap ( –15 °C), which protects the primary products against the further decomposition in the discharge phase by enabling these products to adhere to the trap. Since the partial pressures of CO and N2 decreased at rates of 1.5–1.7 cmHg day–1 and 0.1–0.2 cmHg day–1, respectively, the gases were added at regular intervals. The solution was analyzed at regular intervals for HCN, HCHO and urea, and maximum concentrations of about 50, 2, and 140 mM were observed. The discharge phase was continued for 6 months. In the solution, glycine (5.6% yield based on the carbon), glycylglycine (0.64%), orotic acid (0.004%) and small amounts of the other amino acids were found. 相似文献

Di-and tri-glycine were synthesized in 1M aqueous solution of glycine by bubbling for 90 hr with oxygen discharged in the path from an oxygen cylinder. The peptides were also produced by an incubation at 37°C of 2M glycine solution prepared with 75% hydrogen peroxide, and the yields were traced for 200 days. The final yields were about 0.25% and 0.01% for di-and tri-glycine, respectively. The solution at 166 days of incubation was applied to a Sephadex G 10 column, and the fractions around the top of the chromatogram were found to increase the intensity of ninhydrin color about 45 times after hydrolysis, indicating an existence of oligo-glycine. The solutions of 1M glycine and 0.5M diglycine prepared with 30% hydrogen peroxide were incubated at 37°C for 38 days, and di-and tetra-glycine were detected in the yields of 0.12% and 0.33%, respectively. 相似文献

It has been demonstrated previously that field pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Express) grown in hydroponic culture on a complete nutrient solution with low NH4+ concentrations (<0.5 mM) will produce a larger than normal proliferation of nodules. Peas grown in the absence of mineral N in hydroponic culture have been shown to rapidly autoregulate nodulation, forming a static nodule number by 14 to 21 days after planting. The present study further characterizes the effect of NH4+ concentration in hydroponic culture on nodulation and nodule growth. Peas were grown continually for 4 weeks at NH4+ concentrations that were autoregulatory (0.0 mM), stimulatory (0.2 mM) or inhibitory (1.0 mM), or peas were transferred between autoregulatory or NH4+ inhibited and stimulatory solutions after 2 weeks. The peas nodulated as expected when grown under constant autoregulatory, stimulatory or inhibitory concentrations of NH4+. When peas were transferred from the inhibitory (1.0 mM) to the stimulatory solution (0.2 mM) a massive proliferation of nodule primordia over the entire root system was observed within 3 days of the transfer. When they were transferred from the autoregulatory (0.0 mM) to the stimulatory (0.2 mM) solution a 10-day delay occurred before a proliferation in nodule primordia occurred at distal regions of the root system. These findings support our hypothesis that low concentrations (<1.0 mM) of NH4+ in hydroponic culture cause a suppression of autoregulation in pea. In addition, the temporal and spatial differences in nodule proliferation between transfer treatments demonstrate at a whole plant level that autoregulation and NH4+ inhibition suppress early nodule development via different mechanisms. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the routine determination of elevated urinary levels of the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxytryptophol (5-HTOL) is described. Urine samples were treated with β-glucuronidase, and 5-HTOL was isolated by solid-phase extraction on a small Sephadex G-10 column prior to injection onto an isocratically eluted C18 reversed-phase column. Detection of 5-HTOL was performed electrochemically at +0.60 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The limit of detection was ca. 0.05 μM, and the intra-assay coefficients of variation were below 6% with urine samples containing 0.2 and 2.1 μM 5-HTOL and a standard solution of 2.0 μM (n = 5). The recovery of 5-HTOL after the sample clean-up procedure was close to 100%. A good correlation (r2 = 0.97; n = 12) was obtained between the present method and a sensitive and specific gas chromatographic—mass spectrometric method. The total (free plus conjugated) 5-HTOL levels in urine were normally below 0.2 μM, but after an acute dose of alcohol they increased to 0.5–15 μM. 相似文献

Aspartate transcarbamylase (EC 2·1·3·2) purified from mung bean seedlings was used as a model to understand the mechanism of allosteric regulation. The enzyme exhibited homotropic interactions with carbamyl phosphate. Preincubation of the enzyme with aspartate abolished the sigmoidicity of the carbamyl phosphate saturation curve. UMP was the most potent inhibitor of the reaction and was noncompetitive with respect to aspartate. The sigmoidicity of carbamyl phosphate saturation curves increased with increase in UMP concentration. These results were analysed by an iterative least squares procedure. There was no change inV max values with increase in the UMP concentration, although theK 0·5 values (concentration of carbamyl phosphate required to reach half maximal velocity) increased. This implied that the effect of UMP was on the binding of carbamyl phosphate only and not on the catalytic function of the enzyme. The allosteric properties of the enzyme could be explained in terms ofK system of the symmetry model. The values of the allosteric constantsn, L andc calculated for mung bean enzyme, making use of the Monod equation accounted for all the observed properties. The enzyme appeared to be a tetramer (n=4) and in the absence of ligands was predominantly in theT form (L o= 2·25). Carbamyl phosphate bound preferentially to theR form (c= 10?3), while UMP bound preferentially to theT form and hence these two ligands exhibited the typical heterotropic interactions as expected of antagonistic ligands. 相似文献

Summary Lung cell culture may be useful as anin vitro alternative to study the susceptibility of the lung to various toxic agents. Lungs from female Wistar rats were enzymatically
digested by recirculating perfusion through the pulmonary artery with a sequence of solutions containing deoxyribonuclease,
chymopapain, pronase, collagenase, and elastase. Lung tissue was microdissected and resuspended and the cells obtained were
washed by centrifugation. By this isolation method, 2×108 cells per rat lung were obtained with an average viability of 97%. Lung cells cultured in medium containing antibiotics and
serum maintained a viability of >70% for 5 d. Rat primary lung cells were exposed to various toxic agents and their viability
was assessed by formazan production capacity after 18 h of incubation. Compared to rat and mouse hepatocyte cultures (EC50=5.8 mM), rat primary lung cells were much more susceptible to hydrogen peroxide (EC50=0.6 mM). All cell types were equally sensitive to the more potent toxicanttert-butylhydroperoxide (EC50=0.1 mM). Paraquat was more toxic to lung cells (EC50=0.03 mM) than to rat (EC50=2.8 mM) and mouse (EC50=0.2 mM) hepatocytes. In contrast, rat lung cells were less sensitive to sodium nitroprusside (EC50=2.6 mM) compared to rat (EC50=0.2 mM) and mouse (EC50=0.03 mM) hepatocytes. Nitrofurantoin and menadione (at EC50=0.04 mM and 0.006 mM, respectively) were more toxic to rat lung and liver cells than to murine hepatocytes (EC50=0.2 mM and 0.04 mM, respectively). Our findings demonstrate the applicability of this rat primary lung cell culture for studying the effects
of lung toxicants.

An ethanol hyper-producing clostridial strain, I-1-B, was isolated from Shibi hot spring, Kagoshima prefecture and identified as Clostridium thermocellum based on morphological and physiological proper ties. The carbohydrates used as energy sources were glucose, fructose, cellobiose, cellulose and esculin. Fermentation products were ethanol, lactate, acetate, formate, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. The optimum, maximum, and minimum temperature for growth are about 60, 70, and 47°C, respectively. Optimum pH for growth is about 7.5, and growth occurs at starting pH between 6.0 and 9.0. I-1-B strain has strong tolerance for ethanol and hyper ethanol-productivity. Ethanol concentrations causing 50%. decrease of growth yield are 27 and 16g/liter for I-1-B and ATCC27405 of C. thermocellum, respectively. The organism was cultured on a medium containing 80 g/liter cellulose at 60°C for 156 h. The culture was fed with a vitamin mixture containing vitamin B12 and mineral salts solution at intervals. In this culture the organism produced 23.6 g/liter (512mM) ethanol, 8.5 g/liter (94mM) lactate, 2.9 g/liter (48mM) acetate, and 0.9 g/liter (20mM) formate. The molar ratio of ethanol to total acidic products was 3.2. The ethanol productivity of the strain I-1-B is superior to any of the wild and mutant strains of C. thermocellum so far reported. 相似文献

Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus KY 8835 grew in the acetate medium and accumulated 28mM Corynecins which was the highest production yield among the processes using various carbon sources. Selective production of Corynecin I (over 90% of all Corynecins), which had been desired for increase of the product yield, was achieved in this acetate medium. To keep the concentration of acetate, ammonium, and phosphate ions in the optimum range throughout the fermentation, a solution containing CH3COOH (50%), CH3COONH4 (9%), and KH2PO4(0.2%) was fed continuously to the culture medium as the pH controlling agent. The addition of KCl (1%) and NaCl (1%) to the medium at 12 hr after inoculation stimulated the production of Corynecins. 相似文献

Under glasshouse conditions Cajanus cajan plants grown in a dark red latosol were fertilized with soluble simple superphosphate and hardly soluble rock phosphate and inoculated with three VA mycorrhizal fungi (M1, Gigaspora margarita; M2, Scutellospora verrucosa; M3, Acaulospora rehmii) from the Cerrado ecosystem, Brazil. Only with rock phosphate plant growth was significantly increased by all fungi. Enhanced P uptake corresponded with higher yields and proved to be a characteristic of the VA myccorhizae. A definite relationship between infection intensity and efficiency of VA mycorrhizae was not detected. Spore production was generally more pronounced in the treatment with rock phosphate, especially with M1 and M2. Nodulation of Cajanus cajan was greatly improved by all fungi in the treatment with rock phosphate. It is suggested that the increased plant development and nodulation was due to improved uptake of P by mycorrhiza. 相似文献

Immobilized chloroplasts and Clostridium butyricum were employed for a photochemical energy conversion system. Spinach chloroplasts were immobilized in 2% agar gel. The optimum temperature of immobilized chloroplasts was 30°C. The maximum activity was obtained in the phosphate buffer solution (pH 8.0) containing 8μM of ferredoxin under an N2 bubbling condition. Hydrogen was evolved under illumination by immobilized chloroplasts and C. butyricum. Hydrogen produced by this system was applied to a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell. Photoinduced current was obtained from this photochemical energy conversion system. A photocurrent of 0.4?1.5 mA was continuously obtained for 4 h. The conversion ratio from hydrogen to current was 80?100%. 相似文献

Mitochondria were stained in liver, kidney, pancreas, adrenal and intestinal mucosa of rat and mouse. Tissues 1 mm thick, were fixed in a mixture of saturated aqueous HgCl2, 90 ml; formalin (37-38% HCHO), 10 ml, at room temperature (25°C) for 1 hr. Deparaffinized sections 3-4μ thick were treated with Lugol's iodine (U.S.P.) followed by Na2S2O3 (5%), rinsed in water and the ribonucleic acid removed by any of the following procedures: 0.2 M McIlavaine's buffer, pH 7.0, 2 hr, or 0.2 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, 2 hr at 37°C; 0.1% aqueous ribonuclease, 2 hr at 37°C; 5% aqueous trichloracetic acid overnight at 37°C; or 1% KOH at room temperature for 1 hr. After washing in water, sections were treated with a saturated solution of ferric ammonium alum at 37°C for 8-12 hr and colored by Regaud's ripened hematoxylin for 18 hr. They were then differentiated in 1% ferric ammonium alum solution while under microscopic observation. 相似文献

Carbamyl phosphate synthase-I and glutamate dehydrogenase both form a complex with mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase. Instead of these two enzymes competing for the aminotransferase, carbamyl phosphate synthase-I enhances glutamate dehydrogenase-aminotransferase interaction. This suggests that a complex can be formed between all three enzymes. Since this complex is stable in the presence of substrates and modifiers of the three enzymes, it could conceivably convert NH4+ produced from aspartate into carbamyl phosphate. Furthermore, since carbamyl phosphate synthase-I is the predominant protein in liver mitochondria, it could play a major role in placing the aminotransferase and glutamate dehydrogenase in close proximity. Malate removes glutamate dehydrogenase from the tri-enzyme complex and thus could play a role in determining whether glutamate dehydrogenase interacts with carbamyl phosphate synthase-I or is available to participate in reactions with the Krebs cycle. Palmitoyl-CoA has a high affinity for both carbamyl phosphate synthase-I and glutamate dehydrogenase. ATP and malate which, respectively, decrease and enhance binding of palmitoyl-CoA to glutamate dehydrogenase, respectively decrease and enhance the ability of this enzyme to compete with carbamyl phosphate synthase-I for palmitoyl-CoA. Since carbamyl phosphate synthase-I is present in high levels in liver mitochondria and has a high affinity for palmitoyl-CoA, it could play a major role as a reservoir for palmitoyl-CoA. 相似文献

The specific activities of enzymes catalyzing the ammonium-dependent carbamyl phosphate synthesis (NH3-CPS) and the glutamine-dependent carbamyl phosphate synthesis (GLN-CPS) were increased during germination by approximately 5-and 1.7-fold respectively in the presence of 35 mm urea. The increase of NH3-CPS and GLN-CPS levels occurred immediately after the onset of germination and prior to the appearance of germ tube. Ammonium also stimulated the NH3-CPS activity, but the induction caused by urea was about three times higher than that by ammonium. 相似文献
