We have constructed a library of recombinant phage containing DNA from salivary gland chromosomes of Rhynchosciara americana. We have isolated phage from this library that carry sequences homologous to cDNA clones that hybridize in situ to the DNA puffs at the polytene chromosome regions C3 and C8. This has enabled us to demonstrate a 16-fold amplification of the genomic DNA sequences at these regions during DNA-puffing. At the C8 site there is a sequence element that has characteristics of 'scrambled' moderately repetitive DNA. This is located within 3 kb from the gene encoding a 1.95-kb mRNA. We have assayed restriction fragments from the two DNA puffs for Ars activity in yeast. The only strong Ars activity is associated with a part of the moderately repetitive DNA element from the C8 puff which is not present at this site in all animals. 相似文献

Dryas iulia appears to have undergone a mode of evolution different from that of other members of its subfamily (Heliconiinae). While other species constitute highly subdivided and inbred populations, those ofD. iulia are thought to be large and uniform. Analyzing six samples from Southern Brazil (state of Rio Grande do Sul) in relation to three enzyme systems (EST, LAP, and PGM) and their mtDNA RFLP patterns, we found that they are very similar at the molecular level. TheF statistics for enzyme polymorphism data revealed that inbreeding makes a great contribution to the population homozygosity, sinceF IS equals 0.1322 andF ST equals 0.0023. Since the chi-square test showed thatF ST is not significant, we conclude that all localities belong to the same population. The mtDNA differentiation was about 12 times greater than for nuclear genes;F ST was equivalent to 0.0265. We suggest that this difference is due to a higher dispersal of males, in relation to females. 相似文献

The phylogenetic distribution of transposable families, P, gypsy, hobo, I, and mariner has been analyzed in 33 species of
11 groups of neotropical Drosophila and a Drosophilidae species Zygotrica vittimaculosa, using squash blot and dot blot. Genomic
DNA of almost all neotropical species tested hybridized with gypsy probe and some species showed a particularly strong hybridization
signal, as D. gaucha, D. virilis, and species of flavopilosa group. The hobo element was restricted to melanogaster group
and some strains of D. willistoni. Only D. simulans DNA showed hybridization to mariner probe in all species tested and D.
simulans and D. melanogaster showed hybridization with I element probe. P element homologous sequence was present in D. melanogaster
and all species and strains of the willistoni and saltans groups tested. The presence of at least one P-homologous sequence
was detected in Drosophila mediopunctata. This one was the only P-bearing species of all six tested from the tripunctata group.
Four different pairs of primers homologous to segments of the canonical sequence of D. melanogaster's P were used to amplify
specific sequences from D. mediopunctata DNA, showing the occurrence of seemingly well-conserved P-homologous sequences.

Insulin improves contractile function after ischemia, but does not increase glucose uptake in the isolated working rat heart. We tested the hypothesis that the positive inotropic effect of insulin is independent of the signaling pathway responsible for insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. We inhibited this pathway at the level of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K) with wortmannin. Hearts were perfused for 70 min at physiological workload with Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing [2-3H] glucose (5 mM, 0.05 Ci/ml) and oleate (0.4 mM, 1% BSA) in the presence (WM, n = 5) or absence (control, n = 7) of wortmannin (WM, 3 mol/L). After 20 min, hearts were subjected to 15 min of total global ischemia followed by 35 min of reperfusion. Insulin (1 mU/ml) was added at the beginning of reperfusion (WM + insulin n = 8, insulin n = 8). Cardiac power before ischemia was 8.1 ± 0.7 mW. Recovery of contractile function after ischemia was significantly increased in the presence of insulin (73.5 ± 8.9% vs. 38.5 ± 6.7%, p < 0.01). The addition of wortmannin completely abolished the effect of insulin on recovery (32.6 ± 6.4%). Glucose uptake was 1.84 ± 0.32 mol/min/g dry before ischemia and was slightly elevated during reperfusion (2.68 ± 0.35 mol/min/g dry, n.s.). Insulin did not affect postischemic glucose uptake. In the presence of wortmannin, glucose uptake was lowest during reperfusion (n.s.). The results suggest that PI3K is involved in the insulin-induced improvement in postischemic recovery of contractile function. This effect of insulin is independent of its effect on glucose uptake. 相似文献

The influence of protein synthesis inhibitors on rat lipoprotein content and composition under oxidative stress caused by cobalt chloride injection has been investigated in the present work. It has been concluded that apoprotein synthesis is very important process influencing on adaptive reactions under free-radical oxidation activation conditions. Co-administration of cobalt chloride and actinomycin D or cycloheximide (the inhibitors of the protein synthesis) has realy prevented hyperlipoproteinemia in many cases but hasn't influenced on lipoprotein oxidation. Pre-beta- and beta-lipoproteins were discussed to have mRNA pool in hepatocytes. 相似文献

Objective: Low-flow ischemia results in glucose transporter translocation and in increased glucose uptake. After total ischemia in
rat heart, we found no increase in glucose uptake. Here we test the hypothesis that total ischemia is associated with decreased
activation of GLUT4 despite translocation. Methods: Isolated working hearts (n=70, Sprague–Dawley rats) were perfused for 70 min at physiological workload with Krebs–Henseleit buffer containing [2-3H]glucose (5 mmol/l, 0.05 μCi/ml) with either oleate (0.4 mmol/l, 1%BSA) or pyruvate (5 mmol/l, 1%BSA). After 20 min, hearts
were subjected to 15 min of total ischemia followed by 35 min of reperfusion. We measured glucose uptake and intracellular
free glucose (IFG) using [2-3H]glucose and [14C]sucrose, and determined the distribution of GLUT4 by colocalization immunofluorescence with Na–K ATP-ase. Results: Cardiac power was 10.1 ± 0.90 mW before ischemia and did not differ between groups. Recovery was the same in both groups
(55.7 ± 24.8$%). Glucose uptake did not differ between groups before ischemia, and did not increase during reperfusion. Despite
evidence of GLUT4 translocation after reperfusion in both groups, IFG did not increase compared with before ischemia. Conclusion: We conclude that there is a discrepancy between glucose transporter availability and glucose uptake after ischemia, which
may be due to inhibition of GLUT4 in the plasma membrane. (Mol Cell Biochem 278: 129–137, 2005) 相似文献

Antigen B (AgB), an immunodominant component of the cestode parasite Echinococcus granulosus, presents homology to and shares apparent structural similarities with helix-rich hydrophobic ligand binding proteins (HLBPs) from other cestodes. In order to investigate the fatty acid binding properties of AgB, two of its subunit components (rAgB8/1 and rAgB8/2) were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified, and the native antigen was purified from the hydatid cyst fluid by affinity chromatography using a monoclonal antibody raised against rAgB8/1. The interaction of the purified native and recombinant proteins with the fluorescent ligands DAUDA, ANS, DACA and 16-AP was investigated. The palmitic acid derived fluorescent ligand, 16-AP, showed the greatest enhancement in fluorescence when bound to native AgB or to its recombinant subunits, and the dissociation constants for 16-AP binding were determined. Surprisingly, in contrast to HLBPs from other cestodes, interactions with other fatty acids, including palmitic acid, caused an increase in fluorescence instead of competing with 16-AP. Our results suggest that AgB might have evolved different functions in the binding of hydrophobic compounds, dependent on cestode environment. 相似文献

Parasitic flatworms present several steps of body architecture rearrangement during their fast transition from one developmental stage to another, which are, at least in part, responsible for their evasion from host immune response. Besides, different developmental stages present different degrees of susceptibility to drug action, and the identification of more susceptible stages is of importance for the definition of therapeutical approaches. Mesocestoides corti (syn. Mesocestoides vogae) is considered a good model to study cestode biology because it can be easily manipulated both in vivo and in vitro and due to its relatively close relationship to cestodes of medical relevance, such as those from genera Echinococcus or Taenia. We have analyzed the damaging action of two broad spectrum anthelmintic drugs (praziquantel and albendazole) throughout the in vitro strobilization process of M. corti in order to identify developmental stages or body structures more susceptible to these drugs. Tetrathyridia (larval stage) and segmented-induced worms were cultivated and treated with praziquantel and albendazole. Whole mounted samples, taken from different developmental stages, were fixed and stained with fluorophore-labeled WGA lectin and phalloidin for the analysis of tegument and muscles, respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to identify anatomical changes and lesions caused by each anthelmintic drug in a 3D view. We demonstrated that both praziquantel and albendazole cause extensive tissue damage, especially on tegument, and that adult forms were the most susceptible to drug exposure. 相似文献
