Summary Catalase in yeast cells is rendered thermolabile on permeabilization using organic solvents or any process of immobilization that eventually permeabilizes the cells. A stable immobilized catalase preparation can be obtained only if yeast cells are immobilized in an intact or viable form. 相似文献

The present study describes evaluation of epigenetic regulation by a small molecule as the therapeutic potential for treatment of Huntington’s disease (HD). We identified 5-allyloxy-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinoline (APQ) as a novel SETDB1/ESET inhibitor using a combined in silico and in vitro cell based screening system. APQ reduced SETDB1 activity and H3K9me3 levels in a HD cell line model. In particular, not only APQ reduced H3K9me3 levels in the striatum but it also improved motor function and neuropathological symptoms such as neuronal size and activity in HD transgenic (YAC128) mice with minimal toxicity. Using H3K9me3-ChIP and genome-wide sequencing, we also confirmed that APQ modulates H3K9me3-landscaped epigenomes in YAC128 mice. These data provide that APQ, a novel small molecule SETDB1 inhibitor, coordinates H3K9me-dependent heterochromatin remodelling and can be an epigenetic drug for treating HD, leading with hope in clinical trials of HD. 相似文献

Most bacteria are able to generate sufficient amounts of ATP from substrate level phosphorylation, thus rendering the respiratory oxidative phosphorylation non-critical. In mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation is an essential process. Of the two types of NADH dehydrogenases (type I and type II), the type II NADH dehydrogenase (Ndh) which is inhibited by phenothiazines has been thought to be essential. In M. tuberculosis there are two Ndh isozymes (Ndh and NdhA) coded by ndh and ndhA genes respectively. Ndh and NdhA share a high degree of amino acid similarity. Both the enzymes have been shown to be enzymatically active and are inhibited by phenothiazines, suggesting a functional similarity between the two. We attempted gene knockout of ndh and ndhA genes in wild type and merodiploid backgrounds. It was found that ndh gene cannot be inactivated in a wild type background, though it was possible to do so when an additional copy of ndh was provided. This showed that in spite of its apparent functional equivalence, NdhA cannot complement the loss of Ndh in M. tuberculosis. We also showed that NdhA is not essential in M. tuberculosis as the ndhA gene could be deleted in a wild type strain of M. tuberculosis without causing any adverse effects in vitro. RT-PCR analysis of in vitro grown M. tuberculosis showed that ndhA gene is actively transcribed. This study suggests that despite being biochemically similar, Ndh and NdhA play different roles in the physiology of M. tuberculosis. 相似文献

In all eukaryotic organisms, Rab GTPases function as critical regulators of membrane traffic, organelle biogenesis and maturation, and related cellular processes. The numerous Rab proteins have distinctive yet overlapping subcellular distributions throughout the endomembrane system. Intensive investigation has clarified the underlying molecular and structural mechanisms for several ubiquitous Rab proteins that control membrane traffic between tubular-vesicular organelles in the exocytic, endocytic and recycling pathways. In this review, we focus on structural insights that inform our current understanding of the organization of the Rab family as well as the mechanisms for membrane targeting and activation, interaction with effectors, deactivation and specificity determination. 相似文献
