The effect of cycloheximide and puromycin on 20-hydroxyecdysone-induced protein synthesis in wing discs of Drosophila melanogaster has been studied by one-dimensional and two-dimensional SDS polyacrylamide electrophoresis. It is found that puromycin, but not cycloheximide, when applied simultaneously with the hormone enhanced the hormone-induced synthesis of the early and late proteins. However, when puromycin was applied after hormone treatment, only the late proteins were induced. The possible implication of these observations is discussed. 相似文献

Summary The inheritance of resistance to whitebacked planthopper Sogatella furcifera (Horvath) was studied in 21 rice varieties. Reactions of F1; F2 and F3 progenies of the crosses of 21 resistant varieties with the susceptible variety TN 1 revealed that a single dominant gene governs resistance in Mushkan 41, Santhi, Siahnakidar 195, SM2-34, Tirisurkh 251, Zirijowaian 245, 18, 24A, 39, 76 S, 78, 180, 213 B, 267, 293, CI 6037-4, NP97, S39 JKW and Bansphul. In varieties 65 and 274 A, resistance is governed by one dominant and one recessive gene which segregate independently of each other. Tests for allelism with the Wbph 1 gene originally identified in N 22 revealed that the dominant gene present in all the test varieties is the same as Wbph 1. Further studies are required to determine the allelic relationships of the recessive gene found in varieties 65 and 274 A. 相似文献

Summary Human and rabbit masticatory muscles were analyzed immuno-and enzyme-histochemically using antibodies specific to cardiac , slow and fast myosin heavy chain isoforms. In human masseter, temporalis, and lateral pterygoid muscle cardiac myosin heavy chain is found in fibres that contain either fast, or fast and slow myosin heavy chain. In rabbit masseter, temporalis and digastric muscles, fibres are present that express cardiac myosin heavy chain either exclusively, or concomitantly with slow myosin heavy chain or fast myosin heavy chain. Our results demonstrate a much broader distribution of cardiac myosin heavy chain than hitherto recognized and these might explain in part the specific characteristics of masticatory muscles. The cardiac myosin heavy chain is only found in skeletal muscles originating from the cranial part of the embryo (including the heart muscle) suggesting that its expression might be determined by the developmental history of these muscles. 相似文献

The cytotoxic ribonuclease -sarcin is a 150-residue protein that inactivates ribosomes by selectively cleaving a single phosphodiester bond in a strictly conserved rRNA loop. In order to gain insights on the molecular basis of its highly specific activity, we have previously determined its solution structure and studied its electrostatics properties. Here, we complement those studies by analysing the backbone dynamics of -sarcin through measurement of longitudinal relaxation rates R1, off resonance rotating frame relaxation rates R1, and the 15N1HNOE of the backbone amide 15N nuclei at two different magnetic field strengths (11.7 and 17.6 T). The two sets of relaxation parameters have been analysed in terms of the reduced spectral density mapping formalism, as well as by the model-free approach. -Sarcin behaves as an axial symmetric rotor of the prolate type (D/D=1.16 ± 0.02) which tumbles with a correlation time m of 7.54 ± 0.02 ns. The rotational diffusion properties have been also independently evaluated by hydrodynamic calculations and are in good agreement with the experimental results. The analysis of the internal dynamics reveals that -sarcin is composed of a rigid hydrophobic core and some exposed segments which undergo fast (ps to ns) internal motions. Slower motions in the s to ms time scale are less abundant and in some cases can be assigned to specific motional processes. All dynamic data are discussed in relation to the role of some particular residues of -sarcin in the process of recognition of its ribosomal target. 相似文献

The subject RNA models the binding site for the coat protein of the R17 virus, as well as the ribosome recognition sequence for the R17 replicase gene. With an RNA of this size, overlaps among the sugar protons complicate assignments of the 1H NMR spectrum. The cross peaks that overlap significantly in 2D-NOE spectra can frequently be resolved by introducing a third, in our approach the double-quantum, frequency axis. In particular the planes in a 3D-NOE/2QC spectrum perpendicular to the 2Q axis are extremely useful, showing a highly informative repeating NOE-2Q pattern. In this experiment substantial J-coupling confers special advantages. This always occurs for geminal pairs (H5/H5 for RNA plus H2/H2 for DNA), as well as for H5/H6, for H3/H4 in sugars with substantial populations of the N-pucker, for H1/H2 for S-puckered sugars, and usually for H2/H3. For the 24-mer RNA hairpin the additional information from the 3D-NOE/2QC spectrum allowed assignment of all of the non-exchangeable protons, eliminating the need for stable-isotope labeling. 相似文献

Functional specialization of CK2 isoforms and characterization of isoform-specific binding partners 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In mammals, protein kinase CK2 has two isozymic forms of its catalytic subunit, designated CK2gr; and CK2. CK2 and CK2 exhibit extensive similarity within their catalytic domains but have completely unrelated C-terminal sequences. To systematically examine the cellular functions of each CK2 isoform in mammalian cells, we have generated human osteosarcoma U2-OS cell lines with the expression of active or inactive versions of each CK2 isoform under the control of an inducible promoter [22]. Examination of these cell lines provides evidence for functional specialization of CK2 isoforms at the cellular level in mammals with indications that CK2 is involved in the control of proliferation and/or cell survival. To understand the molecular basis for functional differences between CK2 and CK2, we have undertaken studies to identify proteins that interact specifically with each isoform of CK2 and could contribute to the regulation of their independent functions. A novel pleckstrin-homology domain containing protein, designated CK2-interacting protein 1 (i.e. CKIP-1) was isolated using the yeast two hybrid system as a protein that interacts with CK2 but not CK2 [23]. When expressed in cells as a fusion with green fluorescent protein, CKIP-1 localizes to the cell membrane and to the nucleus. In this study, we present evidence from deletion analysis of CKIP-1 suggesting that a C-terminal region containing a putative leucine zipper has a role in regulating its nuclear localization. Collectively, our data supports a model whereby CKIP-1 is a non-enzymatic regulator of CK2 that regulates the cellular functions of CK2 by targeting or anchoring CK2 to specific cellular localization or by functioning as an adapter to integrate CK2-mediated signaling events with components of other signal transduction pathways. 相似文献

EF-1a binds aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome with the hydrolysis of GTP; the complex facilitates the exchange of GDP for GTP to initiate another round of elongation. To examine the subunit structure of EF-1 and phosphorylation by protein kinase CKII, recombinant , , and subunits from rabbit were expressed in E. coli and the subunits were reconstituted into partial and complete complexes and analyzed by gel filtration. To determine the availability of the and subunits for phosphorylation by CKII, the subunits and the reconstituted complexes were examined as substrates for CKII. Formation of the nucleotide exchange complex increased the rate of phosphorylation of the subunit and reduced the Km, while addition of to or the complex inhibited phosphorylation by CKII. However, a had little effect on phosphorylation of . Thus, the and subunits in EF-1 were differentially phosphorylated by CKII, in that phosphorylation of was altered by association with other subunits, while the site on was always available for phosphorylation by CKII. From the availability of the subunits for phosphorylation by CKII and the composition of the reconstituted partial and complete complexes, a model for the subunit structure of EF-1 consisting of (22)2 is proposed and discussed. 相似文献

Summary The ratio of deuterium to hydrogen (expressed as D) in hydrogen released as water during the combustion of dried plant material was examined. The D value (metabolic hydrogen) determined on plant materials grown under controlled conditions is correlated with pathways of photosynthetic carbon metabolism. C3 plants show mean D values of-132 for shoots and -117 for roots; C4 plants show mean D values of -91 for shoots and-77 for roots and CAM plants a D value of-75 for roots and shoots. The difference between the D value of shoot material from C3 and C4 plants was confirmed in species growing under a range of glasshouse conditions. This difference in D value between C3 and C4 species does not appear to be due to differences in the D value (tissue water) in the plants as a result of physical fractionation of hydrogen isotopes during transpiration. In C3 and C4 plants the hydrogen isotope discrimination is in the same direction as the carbon isotope discrimination and factors contributing to the difference in D values are discussed. In CAM plants grown in the laboratory or collected from the field D values range from-75 to +50 and are correlated with 13C values. When deprived of water, the D value (metabolic hydrogen) in both soluble and insoluble material in leaves of Kalanchoe daigremontiana Hamet et Perr., becomes less negative. These changes may reflect the deuterium enrichment of tissue water during transpiration, or in field conditions, may reflect the different D value of available water in areas of increasing aridity. Whatever the origin of the variable D value in CAM plants, this parameter may be a useful index of the water relations of these plants under natural conditions. 相似文献

A defined set of oligosaccharides and glycopeptides containing -linked fucose were used to examine the specificity of the immobilized fucose-binding lectin Lotus tetragonolobus agglutinin (LTA1), also known as lotus lectin. Glycans containing the Lewis x determinant (Lex) Gal1-4[Fuc1-3]GlcNAc1-3-R were significantly retarded in elution from high density LTA-Emphaze columns. The lectin also bound the fucosylated lacdiNAc trisaccharide GalNAc1-4[Fuc1-3]GlcNAc. The lectin did not bind glycans containing either sialylLex or VIM-2 determinants, nor did it bind the isomeric Lea, Gal1-3[Fuc1-4]GlcNAc-R. Although 2-fucosyllactose Fuc1-2Gal1-4Glc) was retarded in elution from the columns, larger glycans containing the H-antigen Fuc1-2Gal1-3(4)GlcNAc-R interacted poorly with immobilized LTA. Our results demonstrate that immobilized LTA is effective in isolating glycans containing the Lex antigen and is useful in analyzing specific fucosylation of glycoconjugates.

The content of abscisic acid (ABA) in bulbs of two Allium wakegi Araki cultivars, Kiharabansei No. 1 (dormant type) and Ginoza (nondormant type), was similar and changed similarly during the development and storage of the bulbs. It increased during bulb development, reached a maximum shortly after bulb harvesting, and gradually decreased during bulb storage. The bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 showed dormancy correlated with the change in ABA content, but those of Ginoza did not show significant dormancy throughout the experimental period. The ABA content in the buds of dormant bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 did not change after planting of bulbs, but that of nondormant bulbs of Ginoza planted on the same day rapidly decreased after planting. Application of ABA to bulbs delayed sprouting of both cultivars, but dormant bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 had higher sensitivity to ABA than the bulbs of Ginoza or the bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 partly released from dormancy. These results suggest that the decrease in the ABA content after planting (watering) and low sensitivity to ABA are correlated with the nondormancy of Ginoza. 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.

Summary -Tocopherol was identified in lipid extracts of bovine retinal outer segment (ROS) preparations. Positive identification was obtained by the thin layer chromatographic characteristics of the tocopherol form and its oxidation product -tocopherylquinone, and by the ultraviolet spectrum of the oxidized and KBH4-reduced form of the tocopherylquinone. In the ROS preparations used, -tocopherol chromanol was the predominant species, the quinone form accounting for 25% or less of the total. The concentration of -tocopherol in the ROS preparations was about 0.1 mole -tocopherol per mole rhodopsin, or about 1 nmole/mg, protein. Mitochondria from bovine retina contained about 0.4 nmole -tocopherol per mg protein. 相似文献

Summary Crude protein extracts from single seeds of nondomesticated Mexican bean accessions were analysed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for variability in phaseolin protein. Six new phaseolin types; M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, which contained polypeptides within the same range of molecular weights (51,000 to 45,000 daltons) as occur in the S, T and C phaseolin types of cultivated beans were identified. No T and C types were found among the non-domesticated Mexican accessions, and the S type occurred in less than 7% of the seeds screened. Genetic analyses of F2 progenies from crosses between Sanilac (S), and five of the M types showed that each M phaseolin phenotype was allelic to the S type and expressed codominantly. 相似文献

ATP synthase (F0F1) is driven by an electrochemical potential of H+ (H+). F0F1 is composed of an ion-conducting portion (F0) and a catalytic portion (F1). The subunit composition of F1 is 33. The active 33 oligomer, characterized by X-ray crystallography, has been obtained only from thermnophilic F1 (TF1). We proposed in 1984 that ATP is released from the catalytic site (C site) by a conformational change induced by the DELSEED sequence via -F0. In fact, cross-linking of DELSEED to stopped the ATP-driven rotation of in the center of 33. The torque of the rotation is estimated to be 420 pN·å from the H+ and H+-current through F0F1. The angular velocity () of is the rate-limiting step, because H+ increased theV

(ATP). The rotational unit of F0 (=ab2c10) is /5, while that in 33 is 2/3. This difference is overcome by an analog-digital conversion via elasticity around DELSEED with a threshold to release ATP. The distance at the C site is about 9.6 å (2,8-diN3-ATP), and tight Mg-ATP binding in 33 was shown by ESR. The rotational relaxation of TF1 is too rapid (=100 nsec), but the rate of AT(D)P-induced conformational change of 33 measured with a synchrotron is close to . The ATP bound between the P-loop and E188 is released by the shift of DELSEED from RGL. Considering the viscosity resistance and inertia of the free rotor (-c), there may be a stator containing OSCP (= of TF1) and F0-d to hold free rotation of 33. 相似文献

Male sterility conferred by ogu cytoplasm of Raphanus sativus has been transferred to Brassica juncea cv RLM 198 from male-sterile B. napus through repeated backcrossing and selection. The male-sterile B. juncea is, however, highly chlorotic and late. It has low female (seed) fertility and small contorted pods. To rectify these defects, protoplasts of the male sterile were fused with normal RLM 198 (green, self fertile). Four dark green, completely male-sterile plants were obtained and identified as putative cybrids. All the plants were backcrossed three times with RLM 198. Mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA analysis of backcross progeny confirmed hybridity of the cytoplasm. The restriction pattern of the chloroplast DNA of progeny plants of three cybrids (Og 1, Og 2, Og 3) was similar to that of the green self-fertile RLM 198 and indicated that the correction of chlorosis resulted from chloroplast substitution. The chloroplast DNA of the lone progeny plant of the fourth cybrid (Og 10) could not be analyzed because the plant was stunted and had only a few leaves. When total cellular DNA was probed with mitochondrial probes coxI and atpA it was found that the cybrids had recombinant mitochondria. The chlorosis-corrected plants were early flowering and had vastly improved seed fertility. 相似文献

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

Sialylation represents one of the most frequently occurring terminations of the oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Sialic acid is commonly found ,3- or ,6-linked to galactose (Gal), ,6-linked to N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) or ,8-linked to another sialic acid. The biosynthesis of the various linkages is mediated by the different members of the sialyltransferase family. The addition of sialic acid in ,6-linkage to the galactose residue of lactosamine (type 2 chains) is catalyzed by -galactoside ,6-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal.I). Although expressed by a single gene, this enzyme shows a complex pattern of regulation which allows its tissue- and stage-specific modulation. The cognate oligosaccharide structure, NeuAc,6Gal1,4GIcNAc, is widely distributed among tissues and is involved in biological processes such as the regulation of the immune response and the progression of colon cancer. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the biochemistry of ST6Gal.I and on the functional role of the sialyl-,6-lactosaminyl structure. 相似文献

Summary Few clinical responses have occurred in preliminary studies using the cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or interferon (IFN) in cancer patients. This may be related to the observation that many malignant cell lines are resistant to lysis by these cytokinesin vitro. Resistance to lysis by TNF or IFN in many cells is controlled by a protein-synthesis-dependent mechanism, such that when protein synthesis is inhibited cells become sensitive to lysis by these cytokines. Because there is some evidence that TNF and IFN act through different lytic mechanisms and are opposed by different resistance mechanisms, we treated a panel of eight cell lines, five derived from human cervical carcinomas (ME-180, MS751, SiHa, HT-3, and C-33A) and three derived from ovarian carcinomas (Caov-3, SK-OV-3, and NIH: OVCAR-3) with both TNF and IFN to determine whether such combination treatment might maximizein vitro cell lysis. Our results showed that pretreatment with IFN followed by exposure to TNF in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors increased lysis of seven of the eight cell lines above that seen with either TNF or IFN and inhibitors of protein synthesis. Only the cell line C-33A was resistant to lysis by TNF and IFN, when exposed to these agents both alone and in combination with protein synthesis inhibitors. Clinically, combining the cytokines TNF and IFN with protein synthesis inhibitors may maximize thein vivo lytic effects of these cytokines.Supported by American Cancer Society Career Development Award 90-221 相似文献

Virus-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-B) is required for Type 3 (T3) reovirus-induced apoptosis. We now show that NF-B is also activated by the prototypic Type 1 reovirus strain Lang (T1L), which induces significantly less apoptosis than T3 viruses, indicating that NF-B activation alone is not sufficient for apoptosis in reovirus-infected cells. A second phase of virus-induced NF-B regulation, where NF-B activation is inhibited at later times following infection with T3 Abney (T3A), is absent in T1L-infected cells. This suggests that inhibition of NF-B activation at later times post infection also contributes to reovirus-induced apoptosis. Reovirus-induced inhibition of stimulus-induced activation of NF-B is significantly associated with apoptosis following infection of HEK293 cells with reassortant reoviruses and is determined by the T3 S1 gene segment, which is also the primary determinant of reovirus-induced apoptosis. Inhibition of stimulus-induced activation of NF-B also occurs following infection of primary cardiac myocytes with apoptotic (8B) but not non-apoptotic (T1L) reoviruses. Expression levels of the NF-B-regulated cellular FLICE inhibitory protein (cFLIP) reflect NF-B activation in reovirus-infected cells. Further, inhibition of NF-B activity and cFLIP expression promote T1L-induced apoptosis. These results demonstrate that inhibition of stimulus-induced activation of NF-B and the resulting decrease in cFLIP expression promote reovirus-induced apoptosis. 相似文献
