Spike density in barley is under the control of several major genes, as documented previously by genetic analysis of a number
of morphological mutants. One such class of mutants affects the rachis internode length leading to dense or compact spikes
and the underlying genes were designated dense spike (dsp). We previously delimited two introgressed genomic segments on chromosome 3H (21 SNP loci, 35.5 cM) and 7H (17 SNP loci,
20.34 cM) in BW265, a BC7F3 nearly isogenic line (NIL) of cv. Bowman as potentially containing the dense spike mutant locus dsp.ar, by genotyping 1,536 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in both BW265 and its recurrent parent. Here, the gene
was allocated by high-resolution bi-parental mapping to a 0.37 cM interval between markers SC57808 (Hv_SPL14)–CAPSK06413 residing on the short and long arm at the genetic centromere of chromosome 7H, respectively. This region putatively
contains more than 800 genes as deduced by comparison with the collinear regions of barley, rice, sorghum and Brachypodium, Classical map-based isolation of the gene dsp.ar thus will be complicated due to the infavorable relationship of genetic to physical distances at the target locus. 相似文献

We have previously reported preferential release of polyunsaturated FAs during hydrolysis of lipoprotein phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) by group X secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) and preferential release of oligounsaturated FAs during hydrolysis of lipoprotein PtdCho by group V sPLA(2), but the mechanism of this selectivity has remained unknown. We now show that the rate and specificity of hydrolysis are affected by relative increases in endogenous SM and free cholesterol (FC) during the lipase digestion. The highest preference for arachidonate release from LDL and HDL by group X sPLA(2) was observed for residual SM/PtdCho molar ratio of 1.2 and 0.4, compared with the respective starting ratios of 0.4 and 0.2, as measured by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Group V sPLA(2) showed preferential release of linoleate from LDL and HDL at SM/PtdCho ratio 1.5 and 0.6, respectively. We have attributed the change in FA specificity to segregation of molecular species of PtdCho and of sPLA(2)s between disordered and ordered SM/FC/PtdCho lipid phases. The increases in SM and FC during digestion with group IIA sPLA(2) were more limited, and a preferential hydrolysis of any FAs was not observed. The significance of SM and FC SM and FC accumulation during sPLA(2) hydrolysis of lipoprotein PtdCho has been previously overlooked. 相似文献

We developed a rapid step-gradient HPLC method for determination of glutamate, glycine and taurine, and a separate method for determination of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in striatal microdialysates. The amino acids were pre-column derivatized with o-phthalaldehyde–2-mercaptoethanol by using an automated refrigerated autoinjector. Separation of the amino acids was established with a non-porous ODS-II HPLC column, late-eluting substances were washed out with a one-step low-pressure gradient. Concentrations of the amino acids were determined with a fixed-wavelength fluorescence detector. The detection limit for GABA was 80 fmol in a 15 μl sample, detection limits for glutamate, glycine and taurine were not determined because their concentrations in striatal perfusates were far above their detection limits. Total analysis time was less than 12 min, including the wash-out step. The methods described are relatively simple, sensitive, inexpensive, and fast enough to keep up with the microdialysis sampling. 相似文献

Mu DNA, isolated from infected cells or minicells, has been shown to be held by proteins in twisted and open circular forms. Circularization does not require protein synthesis in the infected cells. A 64,000-dalton polypeptide is injected into the infected cell with Mu DNA and co-sediments with Mu DNA through sucrose gradients. Circularization of the infecting Mu DNA does not require removal of the Escherichia coli DNA sequences which are attached to both ends of the Mu genome in the viral particle. 相似文献

Polystyrene coverslips have been utilized in preparing tissue cultures for transmission electron microscopy. A method is described for processing the coverslips, including the marking of selected groups of cells with epoxy-carbon mixture. The epoxy-carbon markings aid in locating the cells during sectioning and the method can be used for small or large numbers of cells. In addition, the methodology allows high power phase contrast photography before and after fixation. 相似文献

Plaque disruption with superimposed thrombosis is considered to be responsible for precipitating acute coronary syndrome. We identified sn-1-alkyl- and sn-1-acyl-type glycerophosphocholine (GroPCho) core aldehydes from human atheromas and demonstrated their activities on platelets and arteries. The naturally occurring core aldehydes were identified and quantified in relation to synthetic standards by high performance liquid chromatography with on-line electrospray mass spectrometry. 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-GroPCho (C(5) alkyl GroPCho core aldehyde), occurring in atheroma at less than 0.1% of total phosphatide, induced aggregation of washed rabbit platelets (50% effective dose was approximately 50 nM). Aggregations induced by C(5) alkyl GroPCho core aldehydes were completely inhibited by two different platelet-activating factor receptor antagonists. 1-Palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-GroPCho (C(5) acyl GroPCho core aldehyde) induced platelet shape change, but not aggregation. By contrast, 10 microM C(5) alkyl and C(5) acyl GroPCho core aldehydes both inhibited endothelium-dependent relaxation of rabbit artery by 50% (endothelium-independent relaxation was not affected). The present demonstration of platelet aggregation by physiologically relevant concentrations of alkyl GroPCho core aldehydes suggests that alkyl GroPCho core aldehyde generated in atheroma could be involved in precipitating acute coronary events, in which thrombus formation following lipid-rich plaque disruption plays an important role. 相似文献

DNA replication studies with coliphage 186. III. A single phage gene is required for phage 186 replication 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
We have shown that the BglII to BamHI (79.6% to 95.8%) region of the coliphage 186 chromosome can direct 186-specific replication. DNA sequencing of the region revealed five presumptive genes, CP80, CP81, CP83, CP84 and CP87. Surprisingly, alleles of the previously defined replication gene, A, were localized in both CP84 and CP87. We have successfully constructed a 186 minichromosome using the single gene CP87, and determined that CP84 was not concerned with replication, neither of a minichromosome nor of the phage. Rather, the replication defect seen with amber mutants of CP84 reflects a polarity effect on the downstream expression of CP87. We have concluded that CP87 is the only phage gene necessary for 186 replication, and have called it gene A. 相似文献

Triacylglycerols secreted by liver and carried by very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) are hydrolysed in circulation by lipoprotein and hepatic lipases. These enzymes have been shown to have positional and fatty acid specificity in vitro. If there were specificity in basal lipolysis in vivo, triacylglycerol compositions of circulating and newly secreted VLDL would be different. To study this we compared the composition of normal fasting VLDL triacylglycerol of Wistar rats to that obtained after blocking lipolysis by Triton WR1339, which increased plasma VLDL triacylglycerol concentration about 4.7-fold in 2 h. Analyses of molecular species of sn-1,2- and sn-2,3-diacylglycerol moieties and stereospecific triacylglycerol analysis revealed major differences between the groups in the VLDL triacylglycerol composition. In nontreated rats, the proportion of 16:0 was higher and that of 18:2n-6 lower in the sn-1 position. The proportion of 14:0 was lower in all positions and that of 18:0 was lower in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions in nontreated rats whereas the proportions of 20:4n-6, 20:5n-3, 22:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 were higher in the sn-1 and lower in the sn-2 position. These results suggest that the fatty acid of the sn-1 position is the most decisive factor in determining the sensitivity for hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol. In addition, triacylglycerol species with highly unsaturated fatty acids in the sn-2 position also favoured hydrolysis. The in vivo substrate specificity followed only partly that obtained in in vitro studies indicating that the nature of molecular association of fatty acids in natural triacylglycerol affects its susceptibility to lipolysis. To conclude, our results indicate that preferential basal lipolysis leads to major structural differences between circulating and newly secreted VLDL triacylglycerol. These differences extend beyond those anticipated from analysis of total fatty acids and constitute a previously unrecognized feature of VLDL triacylglycerol metabolism. 相似文献

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography (GC), and liquid chromatography (LC) in combination with mass spectrometry
(MS) have been adopted for the isolation and identification of oxolipids and for determining their functionality. TLC provides
a rapid separation and access to most oxolipids as intact molecules and has recently been effectively interfaced with time-of-flight
(TOF) MS (TOF-MS). GC with flame ionization (FI) (GC/FI) and electron impact (EI) MS (GC/EI-MS) has been extensively utilized
in the analysis of isoprostanes and other low-molecular-weight oxolipids, although these methods require derivatization of
the analytes. In contrast, LC with ultraviolet (UV) absorption (LC/UV) or evaporate light scattering detection (ELSD) (LC/ELSD)
as well as electrospray ionization (ESI) or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) MS (LC/ESI-MS) or LC/APCI-MS has
proven to be well suited for the analysis of intact oxolipids and their conjugates without or with minimal derivatization.
Nevertheless, kit-based colorimetric and fluorescent procedures continue to serve as sensitive indicators of the presence
of hydroperoxides and aldehydes.
