EFFECTIVENESS OF BETA-CYPERMETHRIN ON GLUTAMIC- PYRUVIC TRANSAMINASE (GPT) AND GLUTAMIC-OXALOACETIC TRANSAMINASE (GOT) ACTIVITIES FROM CRUCIAN CARP (CARASSIUS AURATUS) SERUM

Synthetic pyrethroids are considered as possible sub-stitutesfor some organophosphate carbamates or organochlo-rine insecticides,and have been used extensivelyfor morethantwo decades[1].Pyrethroids are preferred over otherinsecticides because of their easy degradation into non-toxic or less toxic metabolites under natural conditions.Consequently,there has recently beena dramatic increaseinthe use of pyrethroid pesticides to control insect pests.However,synthetic pyrethroids were also reported …     

THE TOXICITY OF TWO NEWLY-SYNTHESIZED COMPOUNDS ON SCENEDESMUS OBLIQUUS KǖTZ

With the development of modern agriculture,envi-ronmental contamination by a variety of organic toxicagents has been detected in many freshwater systems.These include herbicides,insecticides,surfactants andother organic compounds,which have,been reported byStratton[1]and many other authors to affect boththeir tar-get and non-target organisms whenever dischargedintotheenvironment,thus impairing heavily on the structure andfunction of ecosystems.Therefore,it is necessary to de-velop pesticides w…     

Mining of a streptothricin gene cluster from Streptomyces sp. TP-A0356 genome via heterologous expression

Streptothricins (STs) are used commercially to treat bacterial and fungal diseases in agriculture. Mining of the sequenced microbial genomes uncovered two cryptic ST clusters from Streptomyces sp. C and Streptomyces sp. TP-A0356. The ST cluster from S. sp. TP-A0356 was verified by successful heterologous expression in Streptomyces coelicolor M145. Two new ST analogs were produced together with streptothricin F and streptothricin D in the heterologous host. The ST cluster was further confirmed by inactivation of gene stnO, which was proposed encoding an aminomutase supplying -lysines for the poly-β-Lys chain formation. A putative biosynthetic pathway for STs is proposed based on bioinformatics analyses of the ST genes and experimental evidence.

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Infection Alters the mRNA Translation Processing in L-02 Cells

HSV-1 infection-mediated regulation of mRNA translation in host cells is a systematic and complicated process. Investigation of the details of this mechanism will facilitate understanding of biological variations in the viral replication process and host cells. In this study, a comparative proteomics technology platform was applied by two-dimension electrophoresis of HSV-1 infected normal human L-02 cell and control cell lysates. The observed protein spots were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by the PDQuest software package. A number of the different observed protein spots closely associated with cellular protein synthesis were identified by matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS）. The expression levels of the RPLP1 protein, which is required for mRNA translation, and KHSRP protein, which is involved in rapid decay of mRNA, were up-regulated, whereas the expression level of RNP H2, which is involved in positive regulation on the mRNA splicing process, was down-regulated. All of these results suggest that HSV-1 infection can influence cellular protein synthesis via modulation of cellular regulatory proteins involved in RNA splicing, translation and decay, resulting in optimisation of viral protein synthesis when cellular protein synthesis is shut off Although there is need for further investigations regarding the detailed mechanisms of cellular protein control, our studies provide new insight into the targeting of varied virus signaling pathways involved in host cellular protein synthesis.     

Developmental changes in functional expression andβ-adrenergic regulation of I_f in the heart of mouse embryo

The hyperpolarization-activated current (If) plays an important role in determining the spontaneous rate of cardiac pacemaker cells. The automatic rhythmicity also exists in working cells of embryonic heart, therefore we studied developmental changes in functional expression and β-adrenergic regulation of Iy in embryonic mouse heart. The expression of If is high in early developmental stage (EDS) (10.5 d after coitus) ventricular myocytes, low in intermediate developmental stage (IDS) (13.5 d) atrial or ventricular myocytes and even lower in late developmental stage (LDS) (16.5 d) atrial or ventricular myocytes, indicating that these cells of the EDS embryonic heart have some properties of pacemaker cells.β-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol (ISO) stimulates If in LDS but not in EDS cardiomyocytes, indicating that the β-adrenergic regulation of If is not mature in EDS embryonic heart. But forskolin (a direct activator of adenylate cyclase) and 8-Br-cAMP (a membrane-permeable analogue of cAMP) increase t     

Establishment of trophic continuum in the food web of the Yellow Sea and East China Sea ecosystem: Insight from carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes

The determination of trophic level for the biology in a marine ecosystem is very important as alteration of its structure and function may be reflected in the tro-phic level of component species. A change in trophic level indicates variation in an organism’s feeding bi-ology or in the pathway of energy flow from primary producers to the consumer. The gut content analysis is a traditional method for studying trophodynamics of food web in marine ecosystems. Species composition and amounts in al…
