Many cell types contain metal-ion unsaturated metallothionein (MT). Considering the Zn(2+) binding affinity of metallothionein, the existence of this species in the intracellular environment constitutes a substantial "thermodynamic sink". Indeed, the mM concentration of glutathione may be thought of in the same way. In order to understand how apo-MT and the rest of the Zn-proteome manage to co-exist, experiments examined the in vitro reactivity of Zn-proteome with apo-MT, glutathione (GSH), and a series of common Zn(2+) chelating agents including N,N,N',N'-(2-pyridylethyl)ethylenediammine (TPEN), EDTA, and [(2,2'-oxyproplylene-dinitrilo]tetraacetic acid (EGTA). Less than 10% of Zn-proteome from U87mg cells reacted with apo-MT or GSH. In contrast, each of the synthetic chelators was 2-3 times more reactive. TPEN, a cell permeant reagent, also reacted rapidly with both Zn-proteome and Zn-MT in LLC-PK(1) cells. Taking a specific zinc finger protein for further study, apo-MT, GSH, and TPEN inhibited the binding of Zn(3)-Sp1 with its cognate DNA site (GC-1) in the sodium-glucose co-transporter promoter of mouse kidney. In contrast, preformation of Zn(3)-Sp1-(GC-1) prevented reaction with apo-MT and GSH; TPEN remained active but at a higher concentration. Whereas, Zn(3)-Sp1 is active in cells containing apo-MT and GSH, exposure of LLC-PK(1) cells to TPEN for 24h largely inactivated its DNA binding activity. The results help to rationalize the steady state presence of cellular apo-MT in the midst of the many, diverse members of the Zn-proteome. They also show that TPEN is a robust intracellular chelator of proteomic Zn(2+). 相似文献

A simple and expedient method for the synthesis of a series of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a.j]xanthenes is described through a one-pot condensation of β-naphthol with aryl aldehydes catalysed by TaCl5 under solvent-free conventional heating. The major advantages of the present method are: high yields, less reaction time, solvent-free condition and easy purification of the products. The synthesized 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a.j]xanthenes were evaluated against a panel of six human cancer lines of different tissues. Synthesized compound 3o showed IC50 of 37.9 and 41.3 μM against Colo-205 and 502713, respectively, whereas 3g showed IC50 of 41.9 μM against Colo-205. 相似文献

Phosphate solubilization and growth promotion by Pseudomonas fragi CS11RH1 (MTCC 8984), a psychrotolerant bacterium isolated from a high altitude garlic rhizosphere from the Indian Himalayas,
are reported here. The identity of the isolate was arrived on the basis of its biochemical features and sequencing of the
16S rRNA gene. The isolate grew and solubilized phosphate at temperatures ranging from 4 to 30°C. Besides solubilizing P it
produced indole acetic acid (IAA) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Seed bacterization with the isolate significantly increased
the percent germination, rate of germination, plant biomass and nutrient uptake of wheat seedlings. While Pseudomonas fragi is normally associated with the spoilage of dairy products stored at cold temperatures, this is an early report on the plant
growth promoting ability of the bacterium. 相似文献

Alpha-1-syntrophin (SNTA1) and Rac1 are part of a signaling pathway via the dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC). Both SNTA1 and Rac1 proteins are over-expressed in various carcinomas. It is through the DGC signaling pathway that SNTA1 has been shown to act as a link between the extra cellular matrix, the internal cell signaling apparatus and the actin cytoskeleton. SNTA1 is involved in the modulation of the actin cytoskeleton and actin reorganization. Rac1 also controls actin cytoskeletal organization in the cell. In this study, we present the interplay between f-actin, SNTA1 and Rac1. We analyzed the effect of actin depolymerization on SNTA1 tyrosine phosphorylation and Rac1 activity using actin depolymerizing drugs, cytochalasin D and latrunculin A. Our results indicate a marked decrease in the tyrosine phosphorylation of SNTA1 upon actin depolymerization. Results suggest that actin depolymerization mediated loss of SNTA1 phosphorylation leads to loss of interaction between SNTA1 and Rac1, with a concomitant loss of Rac1 activation. The loss of SNTA1tyrosine phosphorylation and Rac1 activity by actin depolymerization results in increased apoptosis, decreased cell migration and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in breast carcinoma cells. Collectively, our results present a possible role of f-actin in the SNTA1-Rac1 signaling pathway and implications of actin depolymerization on cell migration, ROS production and apoptosis. 相似文献

Exiguobacterium acetylicum strain 1P (MTCC 8707) is a rhizospheric, Gram positive, rod shaped, yellow pigmented bacterium isolated from an apple orchard
rhizospheric soil, on nutrient agar plates incubated at 4°C. The species level identification was arrived on the basis of
16S rRNA gene sequencing. The sequence showed 98% similarity with sequences of E. acetylicum available in the public domain. The strain was positive for siderophore and HCN production. In separate invitro assays it
was found to inhibit the growth and development of Rhizoctonia
solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, Pythium and Fusarium oxysporum. The volatile compound produced by the bacterium was found to be the most potent in inhibiting the hyphal development of
R. solani, S. rolfsii, Pythium and F. oxysporum by 45.55, 41.38, 28.92 and 39.74% respectively. Commonly observed deformities caused by the diffusible and volatile compounds
produced by the bacterium included hyphal inhibition, constriction and deformation. Under pot culture conditions the bacterium
improved the germination and early growth parameters of pea (Pisum sativum) in the presence of R. solani and S. rolfsii. 相似文献

Medical bioremediation is a unique strategy of targeting pathogenic compounds with an exogenous enzyme of microbial origin. The objective of this study was to isolate and screen the microorganisms from diverse environmental samples for their ability to catabolize 7-ketocholesterol. Isolation of bacterial strains was performed and molecular identification was carried out by amplification and sequencing of 16S rDNA for 4 the best degrader isolates. Degradation was confirmed on the basis of UV spectrophotometric and HPLC analysis. Four bacterial isolates, showing high catabolic activity towards 7-ketocholesterol were isolated: Alcanivorax jadensis IP4 (accession number KP309836; sea water sediment), Streptomyces auratus IP2 (accession number KP309837; soil), Serratia marcescens IP3 (accession number KP309838; soil) and Thermobifida fusca IP1 (accession number KM677184; manure piles). All the isolates were capable of utilizing 7-ketocholesterol as the sole organic substrate, resulting in its mineralisation. The most rapid degradation was observed with A. jadensis IP4 followed by T. fusca IP1. The degradation was followed and analyzed by HPLC. A. jadensis IP4 removed 7-ketocholesterol below detection levels within 8 days. 相似文献

Objective
Plasma apolipoprotein (apo)D, a ubiquitously expressed protein that binds small hydrophobic ligands, is found mainly on HDL particles. According to studies of human genetics and lipid disorders, plasma apoD levels positively correlate with HDL-cholesterol and apoAI levels. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that apoD was a regulator of HDL metabolism.Methods & Results
We compared the plasma lipid and lipoprotein profiles of wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice with apoD−/− mice on a C57BL/6 background after receiving a high fat-high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks. ApoD−/− mice had higher HDL-cholesterol levels (61±13-apoD−/− vs. 52±10-WT-males; 37±11-apoD−/− vs. 22±2 WT-female) than WT mice with sex-specific changes in total plasma levels of cholesterol and other lipids. Compared to WT, the HDL of apoD−/− mice showed an increase in large, lipid-rich HDL particles and according to size various quantities and sizes of LDL particles. Plasma levels of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase in the control and apoD−/− mice were not different, however, plasma phospholipid transfer protein activity was modestly elevated (+10%) only in male apoD−/− mice. An in vivo HDL metabolism experiment with isolated Western-fed apoD−/− HDL particles showed that female apoD−/− mice had a 36% decrease in the fractional catabolic rate of HDL cholesteryl ester. Hepatic SR-BI and LDLR protein levels were significantly decreased; accordingly, LDL-cholesterol and apoB levels were increased in female mice.Conclusion
In the context of a high fat-high cholesterol diet, apoD deficiency in female mice is associated with increases in both plasma HDL and LDL-cholesterol levels, reflecting changes in expression of SR-BI and LDL receptors, which may impact diet-induced atherosclerosis. 相似文献10.

Pantoea dispersa strain 1A is a Gram-negative rod-shaped, yellow-pigmented bacterium isolated on nutrient agar plates incubated at 4°C. The
identity of the bacterium was confirmed by sequencing of the 16 S rRNA gene. It was capable of growing at temperatures ranging
from 4 to 42°C, but maximum growth was observed at 30°C. It is endowed with multiple plant growth promotion attributes such
as phosphate solubilization, IAA production, siderophore production and HCN production, which are expressed differentially
at sub-optimal temperatures (15 and 4°C). It was able to solubilize phosphate (17.6 μg of P2O5 ml−1 day−1), and produce IAA (3.7 μg ml−1 day−1), at 15°C. Qualitative detection of siderophore production and HCN were also observed at 15°C. At 4°C it was found to express
all the plant growth promotion attributes. This bacterial isolate was able to positively influence and promote the growth
and nutrient uptake parameters of wheat (cv. VL.802) under glasshouse conditions. Hence in the context, of cold wheat-growing
environments, it is proposed that Pantoea dispersa 1A (MTCC 8706), could be deployed as an inoculant to attain the desired results of bacterization. 相似文献
