BackgroundChilo partellus is an important insect pest infesting sorghum and maize. The larvae internalize in the stem, rendering difficulties in pest management. We investigated the effects of Capsicum annuum proteinase inhibitors (CanPIs) on C. partellus larvae by in-vitro and in-vivo experiments.MethodsRecombinant CanPI-7 (with four-Inhibitory Repeat Domains, IRDs), -22 (two-IRDs) and insect proteinase activities were estimated by proteinase assays, dot blot assays and in gel activity assays. Feeding bioassays of lab reared C. partellus with CanPI-7 and -22 were performed. C. partellus proteinase gene expression was done by RT-PCR. In-silico structure prediction of proteinases and CanPI IRDs was carried out, their validation and molecular docking was done for estimating the interaction strength.ResultsLarval proteinases of C. partellus showed higher activity at alkaline pH and expressed few proteinase isoforms. Both CanPIs showed strong inhibition of C. partellus larval proteinases. Feeding bioassays of C. partellus with CanPIs revealed a dose dependent retardation of larval growth, reduction of pupal mass and fecundity, while larval and pupal periods increased significantly. Ingestion of CanPIs resulted in differential up-regulation of C. partellus proteinase isoforms, which were sensitive to CanPI-7 but were insensitive to CanPI-22. In-silico interaction studies indicated the strong interaction of IRD-9 (of CanPI-22) with Chilo proteinases tested.ConclusionsOf the two PIs tested, CanPI-7 prevents induction of inhibitor insensitive proteinases in C. partellus so it can be explored for developing C. partellus tolerance in sorghum.General significanceIngestion of CanPIs, effectively retards C. partellus growth; while differentially regulating the proteinases. 相似文献

Background
Root and bulb vegetables (RBV) include carrots, celeriac (root celery), parsnips (Apiaceae), onions, garlic, and leek (Alliaceae)—food crops grown globally and consumed worldwide. Few data analysis platforms are currently available where data collection, annotation and integration initiatives are focused on RBV plant groups. Scientists working on RBV include breeders, geneticists, taxonomists, plant pathologists, and plant physiologists who use genomic data for a wide range of activities including the development of molecular genetic maps, delineation of taxonomic relationships, and investigation of molecular aspects of gene expression in biochemical pathways and disease responses. With genomic data coming from such diverse areas of plant science, availability of a community resource focused on these RBV data types would be of great interest to this scientific community. 相似文献93.

The aim of the present research work was to develop release modulated beads of losartan potassium complexed with anion exchange
resin, Duolite AP143 (cholestyramine). Chitosan was selected as a hydrophilic polymer for the formation of beads which could
sustain the release of the drug up to 12 h, along with drug resin complex (DRC). Chitosan beads were prepared using an in-liquid
curing method by ionotropic cross-linking or interpolymer linkage with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). The formulation of the
beads was optimized for entrapment efficiency and drug release using 32 full factorial design. The independent variables selected were DRC/chitosan and percent of TPP. The optimization model was
validated for its performance characteristics. Studies revealed that as the concentration of chitosan and TPP was increased,
entrapment efficiency and the drug release were found to increase and decrease, respectively. The swelling capacity of chitosan–TPP
beads decreased with increasing concentration of TPP. The effect of chitosan concentration and percentage of TPP solution
used for cross-linking on entrapment efficiency and drug release rate was extensively investigated. Optimized beads were subjected
to in vivo studies in Wistar albino rats to determine the mean arterial blood pressure and compared with marketed formulation. The pharmacodynamic
study demonstrates steady blood pressure control for optimized formulation as compared to fluctuated blood pressure for the
marketed formulation. 相似文献

beta-Amyloid (Abeta) is a hydrophobic peptide that drives the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to its aberrant aggregation. Inhibition of Abeta aggregation process is one of the most promising strategies for therapeutic intervention in AD. Here, we demonstrate that sterically stabilized (PEGylated) phospholipid nanomicelles (SSM) are effective in mitigating Abeta-42 aggregation using several deterministic techniques such as (1) Turbidimetry (2) Congo red binding (3) Thioflavine-T binding (4) Laser light scattering and (5) Electron Microscopy. alpha-Helicity of Abeta-42 is significantly augmented in the presence of SSM as demonstrated by circular dichroism (p<0.05). Cytotoxicity studies, employing human neuroblastoma SHSY-5Y cells, established that PEGylated phospholipid associated peptide demonstrated significantly lower neurotoxicity compared to lipid untreated Abeta-42 (p<0.05). Collectively, our results establish that PEGylated phospholipids abrogate transformation of Abeta-42 to amyloidogenic beta-sheeted form and impart neuroprotection in vitro. This study provides a foundation for designing nanoconstructs of PEGylated phospholipid nanomicelles in conjunction with a therapeutic agent for multitargeting the different pathophysiologies associated with AD. 相似文献

Regulation of Na(+)-dependent glutamate transport was studied in isolated luminal and abluminal plasma membranes derived from the bovine blood-brain barrier. Abluminal membranes have Na(+)-dependent glutamate transporters while luminal membranes have facilitative transporters. This organization allows glutamate to be actively removed from brain. gamma-Glutamyl transpeptidase, the first enzyme of the gamma-glutamyl cycle (GGC), is on the luminal membrane. Pyroglutamate (oxoproline), an intracellular product of GGC, stimulated Na(+)-dependent transport of glutamate by 46%, whereas facilitative glutamate uptake in luminal membranes was inhibited. This relationship between GGC and glutamate transporters may be part of a regulatory mechanism that accelerates glutamate removal from brain. 相似文献

A leaf rust resistance gene Lr19 on the chromosome 7DL of wheat derived from Agropyron elongatum was tagged with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and microsatellite markers. The F2 population of 340 plants derived from a cross between the leaf rust resistant near-isogenic line (NIL) of Thatcher (Tc + Lr19) and leaf rust susceptible line Agra Local that segregated for dominant monogenic leaf rust resistance was utilized for generating the mapping population. The molecular markers were mapped in the F2 derived F3 homozygous population of 140 seedlings. Sixteen RAPD markers were identified as linked to the alien gene Lr19 among which eight were in a coupling phase linkage. Twelve RAPD markers co-segregated with Lr19 locus. Nine microsatellite markers located on the long arm of chromosome 7D were also mapped as linked to the gene Lr19, including 7 markers which co-segregated with Lr19 locus, thus generating a saturated region carrying 25 molecular markers linked to the gene Lr19 within 10.2 ± 0.062 cM on either side of the locus. Two RAPD markers S265512 and S253737 which flanked the locus Lr19 were converted to sequence characterized amplified region markers SCS265512 and SCS253736, respectively. The marker SCS265512 was linked with Lr19 in a coupling phase and the marker SCS253736 was linked in a repulsion phase, which when used together mimicked one co-dominant marker capable of distinguishing the heterozygous resistant seedlings from the homozygous resistant. The molecular markers were validated on NILs mostly in Thatcher background isogenic for 44 different Lr genes belonging to both native and alien origin. The validation for polymorphism in common leaf rust susceptible cultivars also confirmed the utility of these tightly linked markers to the gene Lr19 in marker-assisted selection. 相似文献

Conformations of disulfide and diselenide were compared in (Boc‐Cys/Sec‐NHMe)2 and (Boc‐Cys/Sec‐OMe)2 using X‐ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT), and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Conformations of disulfide/diselenide in polypeptides are defined based on the sign of side chain torsion angle χ3 (–CH2–S/Se–S/Se–CH2–); negative indicates left‐handed and positive indicates right‐handed orientation. In the crystals of (Boc‐Cys‐OMe)2 and (Boc‐Sec‐OMe)2, the disulfide exhibits a left‐handed and the diselenide a right‐handed orientation. Characterization of cystine and selenocystine derivatives in solution using 1H‐NMR, natural abundant 77Se NMR, 2D‐ROESY, and chemical shift analysis coupled to DMSO titration has indicated the symmetrical nature and antiparallel orientation of Cys/Sec residues about the disulfide/diselenide bridges. Structural calculations of cystine and selenocystine derivatives using DFT further support the antiparallel orientation of Cys/Sec residues about disulfide/diselenide. The far‐ultraviolet (UV) region CD spectra of cystine and selenocystine derivatives have exhibited the negative Cotton effect (CE) for disulfide and positive for diselenide confirming the difference in the conformational preference of disulfide and diselenide. In the previously reported polymorphic structure of (Boc‐Sec‐OMe)2, the diselenide has right‐handed orientation. In the X‐ray structures of disulfide and diselenide analogues of Escherichia coli protein encoded by curli specific gene C (CgsC) retrieved from Protein Databank (PDB), disulfide has left‐handed and the diselenide right‐handed orientation. The current report provides the evidence for the local conformational difference between a disulfide and a diselenide group under unconstrained conditions, which may be useful for the rational replacement of disulfide by diselenide in polypeptide chains. 相似文献
