1. (14)C from [1-(14)C]glucose injected intraperitoneally into mice is incorporated into glutamate, aspartate and glutamine in the brain to a much greater extent than (14)C from [2-(14)C]glucose. This difference for [1-(14)C]glucose and [2-(14)C]glucose increases with time. The amount of (14)C in C-1 of glutamate increases steadily with time with both precursors. It is suggested that a large part of the glutamate and aspartate pools in brain are in close contact with intermediates of a fast-turning tricarboxylic acid cycle. 2. (14)C from [1-(14)C]acetate and [2-(14)C]acetate is incorporated to a much larger extent into glutamine than into glutamate. An examination of the time-course of (14)C incorporated into glutamine and glutamate reveals that glutamine is not formed from the glutamate pool, labelled extensively by glucose, but from a small glutamate pool. This small glutamate pool is not derived from an intermediate of a fast-turning tricarboxylic acid cycle. 3. It is proposed that two different tricarboxylic acid cycles exist in brain. 相似文献

As pathogenic bacteria become increasingly resistant to antibiotics, antimicrobials with mechanisms of action distinct from current clinical antibiotics are needed. Gram-negative bacteria pose a particular problem because they defend themselves against chemicals with a minimally permeable outer membrane and with efflux pumps. During infection, innate immune defense molecules increase bacterial vulnerability to chemicals by permeabilizing the outer membrane and occupying efflux pumps. Therefore, screens for compounds that reduce bacterial colonization of mammalian cells have the potential to reveal unexplored therapeutic avenues. Here we describe a new small molecule, D66, that prevents the survival of a human Gram-negative pathogen in macrophages. D66 inhibits bacterial growth under conditions wherein the bacterial outer membrane or efflux pumps are compromised, but not in standard microbiological media. The compound disrupts voltage across the bacterial inner membrane at concentrations that do not permeabilize the inner membrane or lyse cells. Selection for bacterial clones resistant to D66 activity suggested that outer membrane integrity and efflux are the two major bacterial defense mechanisms against this compound. Treatment of mammalian cells with D66 does not permeabilize the mammalian cell membrane but does cause stress, as revealed by hyperpolarization of mitochondrial membranes. Nevertheless, the compound is tolerated in mice and reduces bacterial tissue load. These data suggest that the inner membrane could be a viable target for anti-Gram-negative antimicrobials, and that disruption of bacterial membrane voltage without lysis is sufficient to enable clearance from the host. 相似文献

苎麻疫霉(PhytophthoraboehmeriaeSaw.)可分泌具有诱抗作用的激发蛋白(α-elicihn),根据α-elicitin第24~30和56~63位保守区氨基酸推导的寡核苷酸引物序列,对苎麻疫霉基因组DNA进行特异PCR扩增反应,发现其扩增的DNA片段大于预计的片段。回收纯化的特异扩增DNA,并进行克隆和测序分析,结果表明特异扩增的elicihn基因亚克隆DNA为570hp,大于预计的117bp。在特异片段中,存在3个内含子将基因断裂成4个阅读框架,即ORF1、ORF2、ORF3和ORF4,其中ORF1和ORF4含有与引物相同的序列,但与其它序列与已克隆的elicihn基因无同源性。因此,芒麻疫霉基因组中的elicitin基因可能存在断裂现象。 相似文献

Background
Elucidation of the communal behavior of microbes in mixed species biofilms may have a major impact on understanding infectious diseases and for the therapeutics. Although, the structure and the properties of monospecies biofilms and their role in disease have been extensively studied during the last decade, the interactions within mixed biofilms consisting of bacteria and fungi such as Candida spp. have not been illustrated in depth. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the interspecies interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and six different species of Candida comprising C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. dubliniensis in dual species biofilm development. 相似文献8.
