The technique of extracellular space tracing with horseradish peroxidase is adapted for labeling the transverse tubular system (T system) in rat heart. In rat ventricular muscle the T system shows extensive branching and remarkable tortuosity. The T system can only be defined operationally, since it does not display specific morphological features throughout its entire structure. Owing to branching of the T system, a sizable proportion of the apposition between the T system and L system (or closed system) occurs at the level of longitudinal branches of the T system and is not restricted to the Z line region. The regions of apposition between the T system and L system are analyzed in rat ventricular muscle and skeletal muscle (diaphragm) and compared with the intercellular tight junctions (nexuses) of heart muscle by the use of a photometric method. The over-all thickness of the nexus is significantly smaller than that of T-L junctions in both cardiac and skeletal muscles. The thickness of the membranes of the T and L systems are not significantly different in the two muscles, but the gap between both membranes is larger in the heart. In atrial muscle the following two types of cells are found: (a) those cells with a well-developed T system in which the tubular diameter is quite uniform and the orientation predominantly longitudinal and, (b) cells with no T system, but with a well-developed L system. Atrial cells possessing a T system are richly provided with specific granules and show little micropinocytotic activity, whereas cells devoid of T system show intense micropinocytotic activity and few specific granules. The possible functional implications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献

Assays of sphingolipid hydrolases in vitro generally require bile salts or other detergents. A few 'activator proteins' have been reported that can partially replace the detergents in the assay mixture. We report here that phosphatidylserine from bovine brain is a relatively specific activator of human brain galactosylceramidase in the absence of sodium taurocholate (phosphatidylserine system). Activity similar to that obtained with the conventional assay system containing taurocholate and oleic acid (taurocholate system) could be obtained. Other lipids tested generally gave less than 10% of the taurocholate system activity, but sulfatide could activate human brain galactosylceramidase to 20--30% of the taurocholate system. The properties of the reaction in the phosphatidylserine system were examined with human brain whole homogenate, crude soluble post-concanavalin A preparations, and partially purified preparations as the enzyme source and compared with those obtained with the taurocholate system. The pH optimum shifted from 4.2 in the taurocholate system to 4.7 in the phosphatidylserine system. The phosphatidylserine system was superior in the linearity of the reaction with respect to the enzyme protein. Reasonably linear Lineweaver-Burk plots could be obtained. The Km values for the phosphatidylserine system were greater than those for the taurocholate system. The effect of phosphatidylserine was not additive to that of taurocholate. Additional phosphatidylserine to the taurocholate system was either without effect at lower concentrations or inhibitory at higher concentrations. The assays of galactosylceramidase with phosphatidylserine and without taurocholate do not necessarily provide pragmatic advantages but offer a potentially useful system with which to study the mechanism of in vivo degradation of the membrane-bound glycosphingolipid. 相似文献

By analogy with the immune defence system, the existence is suggested of a chemo-defence system protecting living organisms against toxic substances, whether natural or man-made, that are present in the environment. This paper deals first with the various facets of such a system: mechanisms involving, among others, lipophilic compounds, hydrophilic compounds, oxidants, acidosis, genotoxics and metals; second, with the biological characteristics of the system and a comparison with the immune defence system: partial immaturity of the young, inducibility, non-specificity and specificity, and saturability; we will show that the two systems share many common features; third, with the evolution of the system, which demonstrates that the system is very old and suggesting that it came into existence before the immune defence system; and fourth, with some of its consequences: estimation of the 'toxic effects' of low doses, hormesis, impact of a vegetable diet on health. Finally, it could be emphasised that life is well protected against chemicals by its chemo-defence system, which appeared very early with the first living organisms on the earth. 相似文献

An automated radiometric system (BACTEC, Johnston Laboratories) for detection of bacteremia was evaluated in parallel with a standard blood culture system in use in our laboratory. Of 1,445 blood cultures from 484 patients with possible bacteremia, 106 sets of cultures (excluding 39 presumed contaminated), representing 56 patients, were positive by both methods. The conventional system yielded 85 positive cultures from 48 patients, whereas the BACTEC system yielded 84 positive cultures from 43 patients. The BACTEC system failed to detect 22 cultures that were positive in the conventional system, and the conventional system failed to detect 21 cultures that were positive in the BACTEC system. The detection efficiency was generally equivalent in the two systems except for the lower detection rates of anaerobes and Enterobacter aerogenes by the BACTEC system and the lower detection rates of Torulopsis glabrata and, possibly, Pseudomonas sp. (group IVD) in the conventional system. The BACTEC system had a slight advantage over the conventional system in the time interval to detection of positivity. Approximately 20% of the positive cultures detected by the BACTEC system were detected on the first day of incubation compared with 7% by the conventional system. The recovery rates and detection times of anaerobes were less efficient by the BACTEC system than by the conventional system. It does not appear that the radiometric method has much advantage over available conventional methods. 相似文献

This research documents the multiplicity of L-aspartate transport in thin wastewater biofilms. A Line-weaver-Burk analysis of incorporation produced a curvilinear plot (concave down) that suggested active transport by two distinct systems (1 and 2). The inactivation of system 2 with AsO4 or osmotic shock resolved system 1, which was a high-affinity, low-capacity system with an apparent Kt (Michaelis-Menten constant) of 4.3 microM (AsO4) or 4.6 microM (osmotic shock). The inactivation of system 1 with dinitrophenol resolved system 2, which was a low-affinity, high-capacity system with an apparent Kt of 116.7 microM. System 1 was more specific for aspartate than system 2 in the presence of aspartate analogs. Sodium had no discernible effect on the incorporation velocities by either system. These results indicate that system 1 is a membrane-bound proton symport coupled to the proton gradient component of the proton motive force and that system 2 is a binding protein-mediated system coupled to phosphate bond energy. Analyses of diffusional limitations on the derived transport constants indicated that internal resistances were present but that the apparent constants were close to the intrinsic values, especially for system 1. Metabolic inactivation of the biofilm with dinitrophenol and AsO4 did not completely inactivate aspartate incorporation, which indicated that some simple adsorption of the aspartate anion by the biofilm had occurred. These results show that aspartate is transported by wastewater biofilm bacteria via systems with different affinities, specificities, and mechanisms of energy coupling. 相似文献

We have developed a AuNP-CTG based probing system that is applicable to the detection of many units of CAG repeat sequences which was synthesized by a rolling circle amplification (RCA) system with changes in fluorescence. We also demonstrate that our AuNP-CTG based probing system could transfect without using transfection reagent and detect target CAG repeat sequences in HeLa cells with dramatic changes in fluorescence. This AuNP-CTG based probing system could also be used, in conjunction with the CAG repeat RCA system, to detect target DNA. This system was so sensitive to the target DNA that it could detect even picomolar amounts with amplification of the fluorescence signal. Furthermore, we have used our gold-based CAG probing system for the detection of RNA CAG repeat sequences. 相似文献

Escherichia coli grown anaerobically with fumarate as electron acceptor is able to take up C4-dicarboxylates by a specific transport system. The system differs in all tested parameters from the known aerobic C4-dicarboxylate transporter. The anaerobic transport system shows higher transport rates (95 mumol/g [dry weight] per min versus 30 mumol/g/min) and higher Kms (400 versus 30 microM) for fumarate than for the aerobic system. Mutants lacking the aerobic dicarboxylate uptake system are able to grow anaerobically at the expense of fumarate respiration and transport dicarboxylates with wild-type rates after anaerobic but not after aerobic growth. Transport by the anaerobic system is stimulated by preloading the bacteria with dicarboxylates. The anaerobic transport system catalyzes homologous and heterologous antiport of dicarboxylates, whereas the aerobic system operates only in the unidirectional mode. The anaerobic antiport is measurable only in anaerobically grown bacteria with fnr+ backgrounds. Additionally, the system is inhibited by incubation of resting bacteria with physiological electron acceptors such as O2, nitrate, dimethyl sulfoxide, and fumarate. The inhibition is reversed by the presence of reducing agents. It is suggested that the physiological role of the system is a fumarate/succinate antiport under conditions of fumarate respiration. 相似文献

Phosphate starvation derepresses a high-affinity phosphate uptake system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain A294, while in the same time the low-affinity phosphate uptake system disappears. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide prevents the derepression, but has no effect as soon as the high-affinity system is fully derepressed. Two other protein synthesis inhibitors, lomofungin and 8-hydroxyquinoline, were found to interfere also with the low-affinity system and with Rb+ uptake. After incubation of the yeast cells in the presence of phosphate the high-affinity system is not derepressed, but the Vmax of the low-affinity system has decreased from about 35%. Phosphate supplement after derepression causes the high-affinity system to disappear to a certain extent while in the meantime the low-affinity system reappears. The results are compared with those found in the yeast Candida tropicalis for phosphate uptake. 相似文献

Female ICR:JCL mice were reared in wire-mesh cages with nozzles for automatic water supply on a battery with an automatic washing system, and the evaluation of this system was made in comparison with the conventional feeding system with water bottles, alumite cages and changes of the bedding. In weight gains, feed intakes, water consumption, leucocyte and erythrocyte counts, hematocrit values or vaious organ weights during the period from 3 to 14 weeks of age, animals maintained by the automatic rearing system showed no significant difference as compared with those maintained by the conventional system, providing evidence for a conspicuous labor saving with the automatic control system. 相似文献

On the role of phospholipids in the reconstituted cytochrome P-450 system. A model study using dilauroyl and distearoyl glycerophosphocholine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The difference in pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylating activity observed in a reconstituted system containing dilauroylglycerophosphocholine (Lau2GroPCho) or distearoylglycerophosphocholine (Ste2GroPCho) was used as a model to study the role of phospholipids in the reconstituted cytochrome P-450b (IIB1) system. The hypotheses proposed in the literature for the role of phospholipids in the reconstituted cytochrome P-450 system, mainly based on the comparison of systems without phospholipid and with Lau2GroPCho, were either validated or shown to be unlikely when tested by comparing reconstituted systems with different phosphatidylcholines. The higher activity in the Lau2GroPCho system as compared to the Ste2GroPCho system cannot be ascribed to (a) an increased affinity of cytochrome P-450 for the NADPH-cytochrome reductase in the Lau2GroPCho system, also not to (b) a Lau2GroPCho-dependent dissociation of protein multimers, nor to (c) a change in the spin state of the heme. We found a different apparent Km for pentoxyresorufin in the Lau2GroPCho system compared with the Ste2GroPCho system. Furthermore, we found a difference between the cytochrome P-450b tryptophan fluorescence polarization of the Lau2GroPCho system and the Ste2GroPCho system as well as with a system without phosphatidylcholine. From these observations it is concluded that the higher activity of the Lau2GroPCho system compared with the Ste2GroPCho system or with a system without additional phosphatidylcholine may at least in part be caused by a difference in the conformation of the cytochrome P-450 molecules in these systems. Furthermore, the different effects of both phosphatidylcholines on the Km and V for pentoxyresorufin not only suggest a role of phospholipids in the binding of the substrate to the active site of the cytochrome P-450 molecule, but also on the efficiency of electron transfer from NADPH-cytochrome reductase to cytochrome P-450. 相似文献

Characterization of a transport system for anionic amino acids in human fibroblast lysosomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
L-Aspartate and L-glutamate are transported into human fibroblast lysosomes by a single, low Km, Na(+)-independent transport system, which has been provisionally named lysosomal system d. This system resembles the Na(+)-dependent plasma membrane system chi-AG, although these differences have been observed: (1) lysosomal system d recognizes the D- as well as the L-isomers of both aspartate and glutamate, whereas only for aspartate is the D-isomer recognized by system chi-AG; (2) the anion L-homocysteate is not accepted by system chi-AG, but is an effective inhibitor of lysosomal system d; (3) N-methyl, alpha-methyl, and omega-hydroxamate derivatives of both aspartate and glutamate inhibit lysosomal system d, but only the aspartate derivatives are accepted by system chi-AG; (4) lysosomal system d shows a preference for the substrate amino group in the alpha-position, a preference not seen for system chi-AG. These points imply differences at the two recognition sites with respect to substrate length, size, and rotation, with the lysosomal site generally being the less restrictive. 相似文献

This work represents our continued effort toward fulfilling the need to discover a model system for experimental investigations of temporal oscillations in an enzyme-membrane system. In this paper, the regions in the parameter space where self-sustained pH oscillations can be induced for a compartmentalized enzyme reactor system, which consists of a well-stirred reactor, a reservoir and a membrane containing no enzyme, were determined via numerical simulation with two proteolytic enzymes: papain (EC 3.4.22.2) and alpha-chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1). The sizes of the regions were qualitatively compared with those associated with enzymic membrane system. As a result, we found that the possibility of experimentally observing self-sustained oscillations in the compartmentalized papain reactor system, as well as in the papain-membrane system, is high. However, self-sustained pH oscillations are less likely in the compartmentalized alpha-chymotrypsin reactor system than in the alpha-chymotrypsin-membrane system. 相似文献

For a laboratory stirred-tank fermentor (STF) with foaming system of 0.5M sulfite solution containing an anionic soft detergent, the performing of a foam-breaking apparatus with a rotating disk (FARD)fitted to the STF was evaluated. The gas holdup in a mechanical foam-control system (MFS), i.e., the stirred-tank fermentor with the rotating disk foambreaker, was confirmed to be larger than that in a nonfoaming system (NS), i.e., the STF with an antifoam agent added. The agitation power in the mechanical foam control system was found to be smaller compared with the agitation power in the nonfoaming system, due to the increased gas holdup. Comparison of the oxygen absorption coefficient between the mechanical foam control system and the nonfoaming system in terms of the specific power input also demonstrated the superiority of the mechanical foam control system, not only in oxygen transfer performance but also in power input economy. 相似文献
