During the course of our study on the innovative ligand for nicotinic acetylcholinergic receptors, LNAChR, and in order to assess activity and toxicity profiles of the drug’s metabolites, synthesis of the main metabolites was undertaken. This synthesis work was done in parallel by organic chemistry and by biotransformation of LNAChR. Filamentous fungus Aspergillus alliaceus (NRRL 315) neatly afforded three of the main metabolites, one of which arose from a very unexpected and very uncommon rearrangement. 相似文献

Bacterial glycerol ether lipids (alkylglycerols) have received increasing attention during the last decades, notably due to their potential role in cell resistance or adaptation to adverse environmental conditions. Major uncertainties remain, however, regarding the origin, biosynthesis, and modes of formation of these uncommon bacterial lipids. We report here the preponderance of monoalkyl- and dialkylglycerols (1-O-alkyl-, 2-O-alkyl-, and 1,2-O-dialkylglycerols) among the hydrolyzed lipids of the marine mesophilic sulfate-reducing proteobacterium Desulfatibacillum alkenivorans PF2803T grown on n-alkenes (pentadec-1-ene or hexadec-1-ene) as the sole carbon and energy source. Alkylglycerols account for one-third to two-thirds of the total cellular lipids (alkylglycerols plus acylglycerols), depending on the growth substrate, with dialkylglycerols contributing to one-fifth to two-fifths of the total ether lipids. The carbon chain distribution of the lipids of D. alkenivorans also depends on that of the substrate, but the chain length and methyl-branching patterns of fatty acids and monoalkyl- and dialkylglycerols are systematically congruent, supporting the idea of a biosynthetic link between the three classes of compounds. Vinyl ethers (1-alken-1′-yl-glycerols, known as plasmalogens) are not detected among the lipids of strain PF2803T. Cultures grown on different (per)deuterated n-alkene, n-alkanol, and n-fatty acid substrates further demonstrate that saturated alkylglycerols are not formed via the reduction of hypothetic alken-1′-yl intermediates. Our results support an unprecedented biosynthetic pathway to monoalkyl/monoacyl- and dialkylglycerols in anaerobic bacteria and suggest that n-alkyl compounds present in the environment can serve as the substrates for supplying the building blocks of ether phospholipids of heterotrophic bacteria. 相似文献

Prostate cancer is the first cancer in incidence and the second in mortality for men in France. In 2000, the estimated number of newly diagnosed cases was 40,309. Crude and standardised on world population yearly incidence rates were 141.4/100,000 and 75.3/100,000, respectively. The French Society of Urology recommends individual screening for prostate cancer. Information and consent is required before screening. The Haute Autorité de Santé has published an information for men seeking for screening. Mass screening is not recommended. Screening tests consist of prostate specific antigen (PSA) dosage, rectal examination, yearly for men aged 50 to 75 or starting from 45 in case of risk factors. Currently, large studies are ongoing to estimate the benefit of mass screening on morbidity and mortality. France participates to a European study (ERSPC). Results will be available in years 2008–2010. 相似文献

The thymic medulla is dedicated for purging the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of self-reactive specificities. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) play a pivotal role in this process because they express numerous peripheral tissue-restricted self-antigens. Although it is well known that medulla formation depends on the development of single-positive (SP) thymocytes, the mechanisms underlying this requirement are incompletely understood. We demonstrate here that conventional SP CD4+ thymocytes bearing autoreactive TCRs drive a homeostatic process that fine-tunes medullary plasticity in adult mice by governing the expansion and patterning of the medulla. This process exhibits strict dependence on TCR-reactivity with self-antigens expressed by mTECs, as well as engagement of the CD28-CD80/CD86 costimulatory axis. These interactions induce the expression of lymphotoxin α in autoreactive CD4+ thymocytes and RANK in mTECs. Lymphotoxin in turn drives mTEC development in synergy with RANKL and CD40L. Our results show that Ag-dependent interactions between autoreactive CD4+ thymocytes and mTECs fine-tune homeostasis of the medulla by completing the signaling axes implicated in mTEC expansion and medullary organization. 相似文献

Genome size varies considerably among organisms, largely as the result of differences in the content of non‐coding and/or repetitive DNA, such as introns, pseudogenes, or transposable elements, as well as whole‐genome duplications. Genome size is known to correlate with metabolic rates. Because polyphagy also affects the metabolism, a correlation between diet specialization and genome size can be expected. To test this hypothesis, a study was undertaken with five closely related species of stem borers which are easy to rear under artificial conditions, namely Busseola fusca (Fuller), Busseola segeta (Bowden), Busseola nairobica Le Ru, Sesamia calamistis Hampson, and Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvre (all Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). However, as the number of species was too low for correlating diet with genome size in Lepidoptera in general, literature data from 16 Lepidoptera species were used in addition. The results pointed to a relationship between genome size and the insect's host plant range in Lepidoptera, but below the family level only, with larger genomes in polyphagous compared to specialist species. In addition, the genome size appeared to be influenced not only by host plant range but also by environmental/climatic conditions. Studies to test this hypothesis should be done strictly below the family level. 相似文献

A non-radiochemical assay procedure for CTP synthetase was developed in which CTP is detected at 280 nm after separation with anion-exchange HPLC. A complete separation of all nucleoside triphosphates was achieved within 11 min and the minimum amount of CTP which could be accurately determined proved to be 5 pmol. Therefore, our assay procedure is ten-fold more sensitive compared to the frequently used radiochemical assays. The assay was linear with time and protein concentration, although at low protein concentration a lag phase was observed. An amount of 2×106 cells was already sufficient to determine the specific activity of CTP synthetase in HL-60 cells, lymphocytes and in lymphoblasts obtained from pediatric patients suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 相似文献

Excess sugar consumption has been shown to contribute directly to weight gain, thus contributing to the growing worldwide obesity epidemic. Interestingly, increased sugar consumption has been shown to repeatedly elevate dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), in the mesolimbic reward pathway of the brain similar to many drugs of abuse. We report that varenicline, an FDA-approved nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist that modulates dopamine in the mesolimbic reward pathway of the brain, significantly reduces sucrose consumption, especially in a long-term consumption paradigm. Similar results were observed with other nAChR drugs, namely mecamylamine and cytisine. Furthermore, we show that long-term sucrose consumption increases α4β2 * and decreases α6β2* nAChRs in the nucleus accumbens, a key brain region associated with reward. Taken together, our results suggest that nAChR drugs such as varenicline may represent a novel treatment strategy for reducing sugar consumption. 相似文献

An obligately anaerobic spirochete designated strain SEBR 4228T (T = type strain) was isolated from an oil field of Congo, Central Africa. The strain grew optimally with a sodium chloride concentration of 5% (sodium chloride concentration growth range 1.0–10%) at 37°C (growth temperature range 20–40°C) and pH of 7.0–7.2 (pH growth range pH 5.5–8.0). Strain SEBR 4228T grew on carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, ribose, d -xylose, galactose, mannitol and mannose), glycerol, fumarate, peptides and yeast extract. Yeast extract was required for growth and could not be replaced by vitamins. It reduced thiosulfate and sulfur, to H2 S. Glucose was oxidised to lactate, acetate, CO2 and H2 S in the presence of thiosulfate but in its absence lactate, ethanol, CO2 and H2 were produced. Fumarate was fermented to acetate and succinate. The G+C content of strain SEBR 4228T was 50%. Strain SEBR 4228T was spiral shaped measuring 5–30 by 0.3–0.5 μm and was motile with a corkscrew-like motion. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of periplasmic flagella in a 1-2-1 arrangement. Strain SEBR 4228T possessed features typical of the members of the genus Spirochaeta . 16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed that it was closely related to Spirochaeta bajacaliforniensis (similarity 98.6%). The lack of DNA homology with S. bajacaliforniensis (38%), together with other phenotypic differences, indicated that strain SEBR 4228T is a new species, which we have designated Spirochaeta smaragdinae . The type strain is SEBR 4228T (= DSM 11293). 相似文献
