Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a rapidly emerging high biomass feedstock for bioethanol and lignocellulosic biomass production. The robust varietal germplasm of sorghum and its completed genome sequence provide the necessary genetic and molecular tools to study and engineer the biotic/abiotic stress tolerance. Traditional proteomics approaches for outlining the sorghum proteome have many limitations like, demand for high protein amounts, reproducibility and identification of only few differential proteins. In this study, we report a gel-free, quantitative proteomic method for in-depth coverage of the sorghum proteome. This novel method combining phenol extraction and methanol chloroform precipitation gives high total protein yields for both mature sorghum root and leaf tissues. We demonstrate successful application of this method in comparing proteomes of contrasting cultivars of sorghum, at two different phenological stages. Protein identification and relative quantification analyses were performed by a label-free liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS) analyses. Several unique proteins were identified respectively from sorghum tissues, specifically 271 from leaf and 774 from root tissues, with 193 proteins common in both tissues. Using gene ontology analysis, the differential proteins identified were finely corroborated with their leaf/root tissue specific functions. This method of protein extraction and analysis would contribute substantially to generate in-depth differential protein data in sorghum as well as related species. It would also increase the repertoire of methods uniquely suited for gel-free plant proteomics that are increasingly being developed for studying abiotic and biotic stress responses. 相似文献

Active specific immunotherapy of neoplastic diseases is an elusive goal. Using a murine B lymphoma 2C3, we showed that vaccination
with the killed tumor cells effectively induces protective immunity and a cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response. Similar protection,
however, is rarely observed in mice bearing live tumor cells. These animals usually succumb to the progressively growing tumor.
In this study, we inquired whether the splenic CTL induced during tumor progression in mice differ from those evoked by the
killed tumor cells. Here we demonstrate that the CTL generated following vaccination are significantly different from those
induced in the tumor-bearing hosts. Adding to the complexity, the CTL from the early tumor bearers also differ significantly
from those induced at the late stages. These differences are based on their cytotoxic activity, MHC allele specificity, mitogen
responsiveness, cytokine secretion profile and T cell receptor Vβ gene expression. The results clearly indicate that passive
immunization with killed tumor is most effective, possibly because the CTL induced are not subject to the same regulatory
pressure as those induced during active tumor growth. This decreasing effectiveness of CTL could be due to greater variability
in antigenic stimulus, less involvement of innate immunity, changes in cytokine milieu and/or costimulatory factors.

Fluoroquinolines are broad spectrum fourth generation antibiotics. Some of the Fluoroquinolines exhibit antifungal activity. We are reporting the potential mechanism of action of a fluoroquinoline antibiotic, moxifloxacin on the growth, morphogenesis and biofilm formation of the human pathogen Candida albicans. Moxifloxacin was found to be Candidacidal in nature. Moxifloxacin seems to inhibit the yeast to Hyphal morphogenesis by affecting signaling pathways. It arrested the cell cycle of C. albicans at S phase. Docking of moxifloxacin with predicted structure of C. albicans DNA Topoisomerase II suggests that moxifloxacin may bind and inhibit the activity of DNA Topoisomerase II in C. albicans. Moxifloxacin could be used as a dual purpose antibiotic for treating mixed infections caused by bacteria as well as C. albicans. In addition chances of developing moxifloxacin resistance in C. albicans are less considering the fact that moxifloxacin may target multiple steps in yeast to hyphal transition in C. albicans. 相似文献

Complex biological systems exhibit a property of robustness at all levels of organization. Through different mechanisms, the
system tries to sustain stress such as due to starvation or drug exposure. To explore whether reconfiguration of the metabolic
networks is used as a means to achieve robustness, we have studied possible metabolic adjustments in Mtb upon exposure to
isoniazid (INH), a front-line clinical drug. The redundancy in the genome of M. tuberculosis (Mtb) makes it an attractive system to explore if alternate routes of metabolism exist in the bacterium. While the mechanism
of action of INH is well studied, its effect on the overall metabolism is not well characterized. Using flux balance analysis,
inhibiting the fluxes flowing through the reactions catalyzed by Rv1484, the target of INH, significantly changes the overall
flux profiles. At the pathway level, activation or inactivation of certain pathways distant from the target pathway, are seen.
Metabolites such as NADPH are shown to reduce drastically, while fatty acids tend to accumulate. The overall biomass also
decreases with increasing inhibition levels. Inhibition studies, pathway level clustering and comparison of the flux profiles
with the gene expression data indicate the activation of folate metabolism, ubiquinone metabolism, and metabolism of certain
amino acids. This analysis provides insights useful for target identification and designing strategies for combination therapy.
Insights gained about the role of individual components of a system and their interactions will also provide a basis for reconstruction
of whole systems through synthetic biology approaches. 相似文献

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus is one among the major zoonosis viral diseases that use the Hyalomma ticks as their transmission vector to cause viral infection to the human and mammalian community. The fatality of infectious is high across the world especially in Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Europe. This study regarding codon usage bias of S, M, and L segments of the CCHF virus pertaining to the host Homo sapiens, reveals in-depth information about the evolutionary characteristics of CCHFV. Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU), Effective number of codons (ENC) were calculated, to determine the codon usage pattern in each segment. Correlation analysis between Codon adaptation index (CAI), GRAVY (Hydrophobicity), AROMO (Aromaticity), and nucleotide composition revealed bias in the codon usage pattern. There was no strong codon bias found among any segments of the CCHF virus, indicating both the factors i.e., natural selection and mutational pressure shapes the codon usage bias. 相似文献

Interhomolog recombination plays a critical role in promoting proper meiotic chromosome segregation but a mechanistic understanding of this process is far from complete. In vegetative cells, Rad51 is a highly conserved recombinase that exhibits a preference for repairing double strand breaks (DSBs) using sister chromatids, in contrast to the conserved, meiosis-specific recombinase, Dmc1, which preferentially repairs programmed DSBs using homologs. Despite the different preferences for repair templates, both Rad51 and Dmc1 are required for interhomolog recombination during meiosis. This paradox has recently been explained by the finding that Rad51 protein, but not its strand exchange activity, promotes Dmc1 function in budding yeast. Rad51 activity is inhibited in dmc1Δ mutants, where the failure to repair meiotic DSBs triggers the meiotic recombination checkpoint, resulting in prophase arrest. The question remains whether inhibition of Rad51 activity is important during wild-type meiosis, or whether inactivation of Rad51 occurs only as a result of the absence of DMC1 or checkpoint activation. This work shows that strains in which mechanisms that down-regulate Rad51 activity are removed exhibit reduced numbers of interhomolog crossovers and noncrossovers. A hypomorphic mutant, dmc1-T159A, makes less stable presynaptic filaments but is still able to mediate strand exchange and interact with accessory factors. Combining dmc1-T159A with up-regulated Rad51 activity reduces interhomolog recombination and spore viability, while increasing intersister joint molecule formation. These results support the idea that down-regulation of Rad51 activity is important during meiosis to prevent Rad51 from competing with Dmc1 for repair of meiotic DSBs. 相似文献
