The new compound trimethylene-N(6),N(6')-bisadenine (L), in which two adenine molecules are linked together by a trimethylene bridge that connects the N(6) atoms, has been prepared. Reaction of L with HgCl(2) and ZnCl(2) in concentrated HCl solution leads to crystalline solids. The X-ray characterisation of the Hg(II) complex (H(2)L)[HgCl(4)].3H(2)O reveals that it is an outer-sphere complex in which the ligand is protonated at N(1) and N(1'). In contrast, the structure of the complex [H(2)L(ZnCl(3))(2)].2H(2)O shows the ligand co-ordinated to two different Zn(II) ions through the N(7) of both adenine fragments, the protons being located on the N(1) atoms. The latter compound constitutes the first crystallographic evidence of an inner sphere complex with bis-adenines and, for this reason, an equilibrium study was carried out on the Zn(II)-L-H(+) system. Potentiometric studies indicate that L is protonated in aqueous solution to form HL(+) and H(2)L(2+) with logK(H) values of 4.42 and 3.35 (25 degrees C, 0.10 M KNO(3)). The data from potentiometric titrations in the presence of Zn(2+) can be analysed considering the formation of the species LZn(2+), HLZn(3+), LZn(2)(4+) and HLZn(2)(5+), whose stability constants exceed the value expected for a monodentate interaction of the metal ion with adenine and suggest the possibility of a polydentate behaviour of L in the pH range 2.5-5.0. In contrast, spectrophotometric titrations carried out under conditions similar to those used in the synthetic work (1 M HCl) can be fitted with a model involving exclusively the H(2)LZn(4+) and H(2)LZn(2)(6+) species with logK(M) values reasonable for the interaction of Zn(II) with the N(7) of the protonated adenine fragments. Despite the H(2)LZn(2)(6+) species has a low stability, the spectrophotometric results are in agreement with its formation under the conditions in which the solid complex was prepared. 相似文献

Approximately 100 strains derived from natural populations of Drosophila
melanogaster were tested for the presence or absence of P- element
sequences by using two molecular probes derived from internal regions of a
full-sized P element. Strains that had been collected from several
continents at varying times during the past 60 years were examined. The
oldest available strains, representing most major geographical regions of
the world, exhibited no detectable hybridization to the P-element probes.
In contrast, all recently collected natural populations that were tested
carried P-element sequences. The earliest appearance of P elements occurred
in collections made during the 1950s and early 1960s in the Americas and
during the late 1960s on other continents. The youngest strains that were
completely devoid of P elements originated in populations sampled during
the mid-1960s in America, but as late as 1974 in populations from the USSR.
There are differences in the patterns of hybridization to the two P-element
probes between populations from different geographical regions. These
differences are consistent with the varying P-M phenotypic properties of
these populations. Taken together with the results of phenotypic tests
reported in earlier studies, the available evidence is consistent with the
hypothesis of a worldwide P-element invasion of D. melanogaster during the
past 30 years and suggests that the putative invasion of the Americas
possibly preceded by approximately a decade that in Europe, Africa, and the
rest of the world.

Mitochondrial control-region sequences in two shorebird species, the turnstone and the dunlin, and their utility in population genetic studies 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
We determined the mitochondrial control-region sequences of five turnstones
(Arenaria interpres) and three dunlins (Calidris alpina). Comparisons
revealed that the central part (part II) is conserved relative to much more
variable parts at the beginning (part I) and the end (part III). This
pattern of sequence conservation is also found in the control regions of
other vertebrates. The average sequence divergence between turnstone and
dunlin was 21.8% for part I, 7.5% for part II, and 29.5% for part III.
Within-species sequence divergence over the entire control region was much
lower, at 0.9% for turnstones and 2.0% for dunlins. In both shorebird
species, part III contains a repetitive sequence composed only of A and C
nucleotides, which has not been found in the control regions of other
birds. A survey of the part I sequences of 25 turnstones and 25 dunlins
sampled around the world revealed that these species have very different
population genetic structures. Dunlins are not only much more
differentiated in their sequences but also have a strongly subdivided
population genetic structure. Pleistocene vicariant events combined with
strong natal philopatry and high mutation rates of the sequences are likely
responsible for this population genetic subdivision. Conversely, part I
sequences of turnstones are weakly differentiated and are geographically
unstructured. We argue that this is not the result of global gene flow but
that, instead turnstones have recently expanded from a refugial population
that was bottlenecked.

Asparagus crown and root rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. asparagi (Foa), F. proliferatum (Fp) and F. solani (Fs) result in early decline and loss of crop production. The role of several crop species on the survival of the Fusarium spp. was investigated. The root symptoms and plant weight of seven crop species were evaluated after inoculation with each of the three Fusarium spp. The number of colony‐forming units of the Fusarium spp. from root tissues was also determined. Garlic was shown to be a symptomatic host for Foa, Fp and Fs; Fs was also pathogenic to onion. Root colonization of garlic, onion, maize, wheat, potato and sunflower suggested that they are reservoirs of Foa, Fp and Fs from asparagus and demonstrated the importance of crop rotation on the development of this asparagus disease. 相似文献

Background
To prepare field sites for malaria vaccine trials, it is important to determine baseline antibody and T cell responses to candidate malaria vaccine antigens. Assessing T cell responses is especially challenging, given genetic restriction, low responses observed in endemic areas, their variability over time, potential suppression by parasitaemia and the intrinsic variability of the assays.Methods
In Part A of this study, antibody titres were measured in adults from urban and rural communities in Ghana to recombinant Plasmodium falciparum CSP, SSP2/TRAP, LSA1, EXP1, MSP1, MSP3 and EBA175 by ELISA, and to sporozoites and infected erythrocytes by IFA. Positive ELISA responses were determined using two methods. T cell responses to defined CD8 or CD4 T cell epitopes from CSP, SSP2/TRAP, LSA1 and EXP1 were measured by ex vivo IFN-γ ELISpot assays using HLA-matched Class I- and DR-restricted synthetic peptides. In Part B, the reproducibility of the ELISpot assay to CSP and AMA1 was measured by repeating assays of individual samples using peptide pools and low, medium or high stringency criteria for defining positive responses, and by comparing samples collected two weeks apart.Results
In Part A, positive antibody responses varied widely from 17%-100%, according to the antigen and statistical method, with blood stage antigens showing more frequent and higher magnitude responses. ELISA titres were higher in rural subjects, while IFA titres and the frequencies and magnitudes of ex vivo ELISpot activities were similar in both communities. DR-restricted peptides showed stronger responses than Class I-restricted peptides. In Part B, the most stringent statistical criteria gave the fewest, and the least stringent the most positive responses, with reproducibility slightly higher using the least stringent method when assays were repeated. Results varied significantly between the two-week time-points for many participants.Conclusions
All participants were positive for at least one malaria protein by ELISA, with results dependent on the criteria for positivity. Likewise, ELISpot responses varied among participants, but were relatively reproducible by the three methods tested, especially the least stringent, when assays were repeated. However, results often differed between samples taken two weeks apart, indicating significant biological variability over short intervals. 相似文献46.

We investigated the gene and protein expressions of V-type ATPase protein subunit C1 (ATP6V1C1) in cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and contralateral normal mucosa in smokers, nonsmokers and former smokers. Subjects were separated into five groups of 15: group 1, smokers with OSCC; group 2, normal contralateral mucosa of OSCC patients; group 3, chronic smokers; group 4, former smokers who had stopped smoking 1 year earlier; group 5, individuals who had never smoked. Exfoliative cytology specimens from oral mucosa of smokers, former smokers and nonsmokers showed normal gene and protein expression. We found significantly greater gene expression in the OSCC group than in the nonsmoker groups. No difference in gene expression was observed between normal contralateral mucosa and nonsmoker groups, smoker and nonsmoker groups or former smoker and nonsmoker groups. We observed intense immunostaining for ATP6V1C1 protein in all cases of OSCC and weak or no staining in smoker, former smoker and nonsmoker groups. Significantly greater expression of ATP6V1C1 protein was observed in the OSCC group compared to the other groups, which supports the role of ATP6V1C1 in effecting changes associated with oral cancer. Analysis of the mucosae of chronic smokers, former smokers and the normal contralateral mucosa of patients with OSCC showed unaltered ATP6V1C1 gene and protein expression. Early stages of carcinogenesis, represented by altered epithelium of chronic smokers, had neither gene nor protein alterations as seen in OSCC. Therefore, we infer that the changes in ATP6V1C1 occur during later stages of carcinogenesis. Our preliminary study provides a basis for future studies of using ATP6V1C1 levels for detecting early stage OSCC. 相似文献

Equine arteritis virus (EAV) induces apoptosis in infected cells. Cell death caused by EAV has been studied mainly using three cell lines, BHK-21, RK-13 and Vero cells. The mechanism of apoptosis varies among cell lines and results cannot be correlated owing to differences in EAV strains used. We evaluated different markers for apoptosis in BHK-21, RK-13 and Vero cell lines using the Bucyrus EAV reference strain. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining revealed morphological changes in infected cells, while flow cytometry indicated the extent of apoptosis. We also observed DNA fragmentation, but the DNA ladder was detected at different times post-infection depending on the cell line, i.e., 48, 72 and 96 h post-infection in RK-13, Vero and BHK-21 cells, respectively. Measurement of viral titers obtained with each cell line indicated that apoptosis causes interference with viral replication and therefore decreased viral titers. As an unequivocal marker of apoptosis, we measured the expression of caspase-3 and caspases-8 and -9 as extrinsic and intrinsic markers of apoptosis pathways, respectively. Caspase-8 in BHK-21 cells was the only protease that was not detected at any of the times assayed. We found that Bucyrus EAV strain exhibited a distinctive apoptosis pathway depending on the cell line. 相似文献

Phylogenetic relationships among prokaryotic and eukaryotic catalases 总被引:13,自引:1,他引:12
Seventy-four catalase protein sequences, including 29 bacterial, 8 fungal,
7 animal, and 30 plant sequences, were compiled, and 70 were used for
phylogenetic reconstruction. The core of the resulting tree revealed
unique, separate groups of plant and animal catalases, two groups of fungal
catalases, and three groups of bacterial catalases. The only overlap of
kingdoms occurred within one branch and involved fungal and bacterial
large-subunit enzymes. The other fungal branch was closely linked to the
group of animal enzymes. Group I bacterial catalases were more closely
related to the plant enzymes and contained such diverse taxa as the
Gram-positive Listeria seeligeri, Deinocococcus radiodurans, and
gamma-proteobacteria. Group III bacterial sequences were more closely
related to fungal and animal sequences and included enzymes from a broad
range of bacteria including high- and low-GC Gram positives,
proteobacteria, and a bacteroides species. Group II was composed of
large-subunit catalases from diverse sources including Gram positives
(low-GC Bacilli and high-GC Mycobacteria), proteobacteria, and species of
the filamentous fungus Aspergillus. These data can be interpreted in terms
of two gene duplication events that produced a minimum of three catalase
gene family members that subsequently evolved in response to environmental
demands. Horizontal gene transfer may have been responsible for the group
II mixture of bacterial and fungal large-subunit catalases.
