A simple and versatile method of in vitro site-specific mutagenesis based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described.
The complete method required the use of three oligonucleotide primers and two PCRs. The product of the first PCR was used
as one of the primers (megaprimer) in the second PCR. Essentially 100% of the final product incorporated the desired mutation.
The various aspects of the procedure and its application is described in detail. 相似文献

Summary Acetolactate decarboxylase activity has been detected among three genera, nine species and 263 strains of lactic acid bacteria tested in the course of a screening for acetolactate decarboxylases amenable for use in brewing as maturation aid. Streptococcus diacetylactis strain FD-64-D was found to generate a decarboxylase exhibiting a satisfactory activity and an excellent stability at the pH prevailing in beer and wort. This decarboxylase could not be solubilized but enzymatically active, freeze-dried cells were effective for satisfactory flavour maturation of beer although difficulties were encountered during attempts to remove the applied cell material by filtration of the beer. Lactobacillus casei DSM 2547 was likewise found to produce a decarboxylase exhibiting a satisfactory activity and stability at the low pH of beer and which, in addition, was readily solubilized. A method has been developed for pilot scale production of preparations of this decarboxylase suitable for use in brewing.Abbreviations DSM

Androgenetic alopecia, known in men as male pattern baldness (MPB), is a very conspicuous condition that is particularly frequent among European men and thus contributes markedly to variation in physical appearance traits amongst Europeans. Recent studies have revealed multiple genes and polymorphisms to be associated with susceptibility to MPB. In this study, 50 candidate SNPs for androgenetic alopecia were analyzed in order to verify their potential to predict MPB. Significant associations were confirmed for 29 SNPs from chromosomes X, 1, 5, 7, 18 and 20. A simple 5-SNP prediction model and an extended 20-SNP model were developed based on a discovery panel of 305 males from various European populations fitting one of two distinct phenotype categories. The first category consisted of men below 50 years of age with significant baldness and the second; men aged 50 years or older lacking baldness. The simple model comprised the five best predictors: rs5919324 near AR, rs1998076 in the 20p11 region, rs929626 in EBF1, rs12565727 in TARDBP and rs756853 in HDAC9. The extended prediction model added 15 SNPs from five genomic regions that improved overall prevalence-adjusted predictive accuracy measured by area under the receiver characteristic operating curve (AUC). Both models were evaluated for predictive accuracy using a test set of 300 males reflecting the general European population. Applying a 65% probability threshold, high prediction sensitivity of 87.1% but low specificity of 42.4% was obtained in men aged <50 years. In men aged ≥50, prediction sensitivity was slightly lower at 67.7% while specificity reached 90%. Overall, the AUC=0.761 calculated for men at or above 50 years of age indicates these SNPs offer considerable potential for the application of genetic tests to predict MPB patterns, adding a highly informative predictive system to the emerging field of forensic analysis of externally visible characteristics. 相似文献

A seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) was introduced in the Danish childhood immunization program (2+1 schedule) in October 2007, followed by PCV13 starting from April 2010. The nationwide incidence of IPD among children younger than 5 years nearly halved after the introduction of PCV7 in the program, mainly due to a decline in IPD caused by PCV7-serotypes. We report the results from a nationwide population-based cohort study of laboratory confirmed IPD cases in children younger than 5 years during October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2010 and describe the characteristics of children suspected to present with a vaccine failure. The period between April 19 and December 31, 2010 was considered a PCV7/PCV13 transitional period, where both vaccines were offered. We identified 45 episodes of IPD caused by a PCV7 serotype (23% of the total number) and 105 (55%) caused by one of the 6 additional serotypes in PCV13. Ten children had received at least one PCV7 dose before the onset of IPD caused by a PCV7 serotype. Seven children were considered to be incompletely vaccinated before IPD, but only three cases fulfilled the criteria of vaccine failure (caused by serotypes 14, 19F and 23F). One case of vaccine failure was observed in a severely immunosuppressed child following three PCV7 doses, and two cases were observed in immunocompetent children following two infant doses before they were eligible for their booster. None of the IPD cases caused by the additional PCV13 serotypes had been vaccinated by PCV13 and there were therefore no PCV13-vaccine failures in the first 8-months after PCV13 introduction in Denmark. 相似文献

Components of the plasminogen activation system including urokinase (uPA), its inhibitor (PAI‐1) and its cell surface receptor (uPAR) have been implicated in a wide variety of biological processes related to tissue homoeostasis. Firstly, the binding of uPA to uPAR favours extracellular proteolysis by enhancing cell surface plasminogen activation. Secondly, it promotes cell adhesion and signalling through binding of the provisional matrix protein vitronectin. We now report that uPA and plasmin induces a potent negative feedback on cell adhesion through specific cleavage of the RGD motif in vitronectin. Cleavage of vitronectin by uPA displays a remarkable receptor dependence and requires concomitant binding of both uPA and vitronectin to uPAR. Moreover, we show that PAI‐1 counteracts the negative feedback and behaves as a proteolysis‐triggered stabilizer of uPAR‐mediated cell adhesion to vitronectin. These findings identify a novel and highly specific function for the plasminogen activation system in the regulation of cell adhesion to vitronectin. The cleavage of vitronectin by uPA and plasmin results in the release of N‐terminal vitronectin fragments that can be detected in vivo, underscoring the potential physiological relevance of the process. 相似文献

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are associated with an impaired ability of the beta-cell to sense and respond to small changes in plasma glucose. The aim of this study was to establish whether acute hyperglycemia per se plays a role in inducing this defect in beta-cell response. Seven healthy volunteers with no family history of NIDDM were studied on two occasions during a 12-h oscillatory glucose infusion with a periodicity of 144 min. Once, low-dose glucose was infused at a mean rate of 6 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) and amplitude 33% above and below the mean rate, and, once, high-dose glucose was infused at 12 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) and amplitude 16% above and below the mean rate. Mean glucose levels were significantly higher during the high-dose compared with the low-dose glucose infusion [9.5 +/- 0.8 vs. 6.8 +/- 0.2 mM (P < 0.01)], resulting in increased mean insulin secretion rates [ISRs; 469.1 +/- 43.8 vs. 268.4 +/- 29 pmol/min (P < 0.001)] and mean insulin levels [213.6 +/- 46 vs. 67.9 +/- 10.9 pmol/l (P < 0.008)]. Spectral analysis evaluates the regularity of oscillations in glucose, insulin secretion, and insulin at a predetermined frequency. Spectral power for glucose, ISR, and insulin was reduced during the high-dose glucose infusion [11.8 +/- 1.4 to 7.0 +/- 1.6 (P < 0.02), 7.6 +/- 1.5 to 3.2 +/- 0.5 (P < 0.04), and 10.5 +/- 1.6 to 4.6 +/- 0.7 (P < 0.01), respectively]. In conclusion, short-term infusion of high-dose glucose to obtain glucose levels similar to those previously seen in IGT subjects results in reduced spectral power for glucose, ISR, and insulin. The reduction in spectral power previously observed for ISR in IGT or NIDDM subjects may be due partly to hyperglycemia. 相似文献

Background
Forage quality of maize is influenced by both the content and structure of lignins in the cell wall. Biosynthesis of monolignols, constituting the complex structure of lignins, is catalyzed by enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway. 相似文献10.

Although adult muscle tissue possesses an exceptional capacity for regeneration, in the case of large defects, the restoration to original state is not possible. A well-known source for the de novo regeneration is the adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), which can be readily isolated and have been shown to have a broad differentiation and regenerative potential. In this work, we employed uniaxial cyclic tensile strain (CTS), to mechanically stimulate human ASCs to participate in the formation skeletal myotubes in an in vitro model of myogenesis. The application of CTS for 48 h resulted in the formation of a highly ordered array of parallel ASCs, but failed to support skeletal muscle terminal differentiation. When the same stimulation paradigm was applied to cocultures with mouse skeletal muscle myoblasts, the percentage of ASCs contributing to the formation of myotubes significantly exceeded the levels reported in the literature hitherto. In perspective, the mechanical strain may be used to increase the efficiency of incorporation of ASCs in the skeletal muscles, which could be found useful in diverse traumatic or pathologic scenarios. 相似文献
