An extracellular protease was produced under stress conditions of high temperature and high salinity by a newly isolated moderate halophile, Salinivibrio sp. strain AF-2004 in a basal medium containing peptone, beef extract, glucose and NaCl. A modification of Kunitz method was used for protease assay. The isolate was capable of producing protease in the presence of sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, potassium chloride, sodium acetate and sodium citrate. The maximum protease was secreted in the presence of 7.5 to 10% (w/v) sodium sulfate or 3% (w/v) sodium acetate (4.6 U ml−1). Various carbon sources including glucose, lactose, casein and peptone were capable of inducing enzyme production. The optimum pH, temperature and aeration for enzyme production were 9.0, 32 °C and 220 rpm, respectively. The enzyme production corresponded with growth and reached a maximum level during the mid-stationary phase. Maximum protease activity was exhibited in the medium containing 1% (w/v) NaCl at 60 °C, with 18% and 41% activity reductions at temperature 50 and 70 °C, respectively. The optimum pH for enzyme activity was 8.5, with 86% and 75% residual activities at pH 10 and 6, respectively. The activity of enzyme was inhibited by EDTA. These results suggest that the protease secreted by Salinivibrio sp. strain AF-2004 is industrially important from the perspectives of its activity at a broad pH ranges (5.0–10.0), its moderate thermoactivity in addition to its high tolerance to a wide range of salt concentration (0–10% NaCl). 相似文献

Haplotype, which is the sequence of SNPs in a specific chromosome, plays an important role in disease association studies. However, current sequencing techniques can detect the presence of SNP sites, but they cannot tell which copy of a pair of chromosomes the alleles belong to. Moreover, sequencing errors that occurred in sequencing SNP fragments make it difficult to determine a pair of haplotypes from SNP fragments. To help overcome this difficulty, the haplotype assembly problem is defined from the viewpoint of computation, and several models are suggested to tackle this problem. However, there are no freely available web-based tools to overcome this problem as far as we are aware. In this paper, we present a web-based application based on the genetic algorithm, named HapAssembler, for assembling a pair of haplotypes from SNP fragments. Numerical results on real biological data show that the correct rate of the proposed application in this paper is greater than 95% in most cases. HapAssembler is freely available at http://alex.chonnam.ac.kr/~drminor/hapHome.htm. Users can choose any model among four models for their purpose and determine haplotypes from their input data. 相似文献

Time-dependent variations in clock gene expression have recently been observed in mouse hematopoietic cells, but the activity of these genes in human bone marrow (BM) has so far not been investigated. Since such data can be of considerable clinical interest for monitoring the dynamics in stem/progenitor cells, the authors have studied mRNA expression of the clock genes hPer1 , hPer2, hCry1, hCry2, hBmal1, hRev-erb alpha, and hClock in human hematopoietic CD34-positive (CD34( +)) cells. CD34(+) cells were isolated from the BM samples obtained from 10 healthy men at 6 times over 24 h. In addition, clock gene mRNA expression was analyzed in the whole BM in 3 subjects. Rhythms in serum cortisol, growth hormone, testosterone, and leukocyte counts documented that subjects exhibited standardized circadian patterns. All 7 clock genes were expressed both in CD34(+) cells and the whole BM, with some differences in magnitude between the 2 cell populations. A clear circadian rhythm was shown for hPer1, hPer2, and hCry2 expression in CD34(+) cells and for hPer1 in the whole BM, with maxima from early morning to midday. Similar to mouse hematopoietic cells, h Bmal1 was not oscillating rhythmically. The study demonstrates that clock gene expression in human BM stem/progenitor cells may be developmentally regulated, with strong or weaker circadian profiles as compared to those reported in other mature tissues. 相似文献

A major limitation for the use of Cre recombinase is its toxicity and a lack of temporal control over its activity. We have
developed a new recombination system using Cre recombinase α-complementation. Cre recombinase was divided and one fragment
(β) was introduced into cells between two loxP sites with a CMV promoter in the upstream. The gene of interest (EGFP) was
positioned just downstream of this construct. Cre recombinase activity was recovered by adding the other part of the molecule
(α) to cells as a protein fragment, as evidenced by the expression of EGFP under the control of the CMV promoter. The activity
of fragmented cre reached 68% of that of the wild type enzyme at 1 μM α-protein. 相似文献

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels that belong to the Cys-loop receptor superfamily. These receptors are allosteric proteins that exist in different conformational states, including resting (closed), activated (open), and desensitized (closed) states. The acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) is a structural homologue of the extracellular ligand-binding domain of nAChRs. In previous studies, the degree of the C-loop radial extension of AChBP has been assigned to different conformational states of nAChRs. It has been suggested that a closed C-loop is preferred for the active conformation of nAChRs in complex with agonists whereas an open C-loop reflects an antagonist-bound (closed) state. In this work, we have determined the crystal structure of AChBP from the water snail Lymnaea stagnalis (Ls) in complex with dihydro-β-erythroidine (DHβE), which is a potent competitive antagonist of nAChRs. The structure reveals that binding of DHβE to AChBP imposes closure of the C-loop as agonists, but also a shift perpendicular to previously observed C-loop movements. These observations suggest that DHβE may antagonize the receptor via a different mechanism compared to prototypical antagonists and toxins. 相似文献
