Summary In Schizophyllum commune, adenineless mutations conferring pink color fell into two loosely linked loci, ad-4 and ad-7. The mutations were tested for dominance and complementation in dikaryons, and several of the ad-7 mutations were found to be partly dominant over their wild allele and noncomplementary with mutations of the ad-4 locus. The dominance and at least one case of intergenic noncomplementation were verified by quantitative tests.This research was partly supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Grant No. A10-CR-66. 相似文献

Summary
Tribolium castaneum lines selected for high and for low sensitivity to the environment were observed in pure strain culture and in mixed 1∶1
cultures withTribolium confusm. Since the medium was not refreshed during the experiment, the environment was continuously deteriorating and ultimately
both species became extinct. Both time until extinction and total dry weight were used as a measure of competitive ability.
AllTribolium castaneum lines showed higher competitive ability thanTribolium confusum. As interference was noted in all the mixed cultures, competition here demonstrates both exploitation and interference.
Comparisons between theT. castaneum lines indicates higher competitive ability for lines with shorter developmental time. 相似文献

The 26S proteasome is the major protein degradation machinery of the cell and is regulated at many levels. One mode of regulation involves accumulation of proteasomes in proteasome storage granules (PSGs) upon glucose depletion. Using a systematic robotic screening approach in yeast, we identify trans-acting proteins that regulate the accumulation of proteasomes in PSGs. Our dataset was enriched for subunits of the vacuolar adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase) complex, a proton pump required for vacuole acidification. We show that the impaired ability of V-ATPase mutants to properly govern intracellular pH affects the kinetics of PSG formation. We further show that formation of other protein aggregates upon carbon depletion also is triggered in mutants with impaired activity of the plasma membrane proton pump and the V-ATPase complex. We thus identify cytosolic pH as a specific cellular signal involved both in the glucose sensing that mediates PSG formation and in a more general mechanism for signaling carbon source exhaustion. 相似文献

Objectives
We developed clinical guidelines for the management of bone health in Rett syndrome through evidence review and the consensus of an expert panel of clinicians.Methods
An initial guidelines draft was created which included statements based upon literature review and 11 open-ended questions where literature was lacking. The international expert panel reviewed the draft online using a 2-stage Delphi process to reach consensus agreement. Items describe the clinical assessment of bone health, bone mineral density assessment and technique, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.Results
Agreement was reached on 39 statements which were formulated from 41 statements and 11 questions. When assessing bone health in Rett syndrome a comprehensive assessment of fracture history, mutation type, prescribed medication, pubertal development, mobility level, dietary intake and biochemical bone markers is recommended. A baseline densitometry assessment should be performed with accommodations made for size, with the frequency of surveillance determined according to individual risk. Lateral spine x-rays are also suggested. Increasing physical activity and initiating calcium and vitamin D supplementation when low are the first approaches to optimizing bone health in Rett syndrome. If individuals with Rett syndrome meet the ISCD criterion for osteoporosis in children, the use of bisphosphonates is recommended.Conclusion
A clinically significant history of fracture in combination with low bone densitometry findings is necessary for a diagnosis of osteoporosis. These evidence and consensus-based guidelines have the potential to improve bone health in those with Rett syndrome, reduce the frequency of fractures, and stimulate further research that aims to ameliorate the impacts of this serious comorbidity. 相似文献55.

ELG1 is a conserved gene with important roles in the maintenance of genome stability. Elg1''s activity prevents gross chromosomal rearrangements, maintains proper telomere length regulation, helps repairing DNA damage created by a number of genotoxins and participates in sister chromatid cohesion. Elg1 is evolutionarily conserved, and its Fanconi Anemia-related mammalian ortholog (also known as ATAD5) is embryonic lethal when lost in mice and acts as a tumor suppressor in mice and humans. Elg1 encodes a protein that forms an RFC-like complex that unloads the replicative clamp, PCNA, from DNA, mainly in its SUMOylated form. We have identified 2 different regions in yeast Elg1 that undergo phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of one of them, S112, is dependent on the ATR yeast ortholog, Mec1, and probably is a direct target of this kinase. We show that phosphorylation of Elg1 is important for its role at telomeres. Mutants unable to undergo phosphorylation suppress the DNA damage sensitivity of Δrad5 mutants, defective for an error-free post-replicational bypass pathway. This indicates a role of phosphorylation in the regulation of DNA repair. Our results open the way to investigate the mechanisms by which the activity of Elg1 is regulated during DNA replication and in response to DNA damage. 相似文献

We synthesized two carminic acid (7-alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-9,10-dihydro-3,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-1-methyl-9,10-dioxo-2-anthracene carboxlic acid, CA)-GnRH conjugates to be used as a model for potential photoactive targeted compounds. CA was conjugated to the epsilon-amino group of [d-Lys(6)]GnRH through its carboxylic moiety or via a beta-alanine spacer (beta-ala). Redox potentials of CA and its conjugates were determined. We used electron spin resonance (ESR) and spin trapping techniques to study the light-stimulated redox properties of CA and its CA-GnRH conjugates. Upon irradiation, the compounds stimulated the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), that is, singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) and oxygen radicals (O(2)(-*) and OH(*)). Both conjugates exhibited higher ROS production than the non-conjugated CA. The bioactivity properties of the CA conjugates and the parent peptide, [d-Lys(6)]GnRH, were tested on primary rat pituitary cells. We found that the conjugates preserved the bioactivity of GnRH as illustrated by their capability to induce ERK phosphorylation and LH release. 相似文献

Mycothiol is the major thiol present in most actinomycetes and is produced from the pseudodisaccharide 1D-myo-inosityl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (GlcNAc-Ins). A transposon mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis shown to be GlcNAc-Ins and mycothiol deficient was sequenced to identify a putative glycosyltransferase gene designated mshA. The ortholog in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Rv0486, was used to complement the mutant phenotype. 相似文献

According to the "middle molecule" (MM) hypothesis, the uremic solutes ranging from 500 to 5,000 Da are insufficiently eliminated by conventional hemodialysis and may act as uremic toxins. However, because of the methodological difficulties of MM purification, their chemical analysis is complicated and the precise structure of these molecules remains obscure. In the present study, a new micro-preparative procedure including SDS electrophoresis and liquid chromatography was applied for isolation of MM peptides from uremic sera. Microsequencing and MS/MS analyses of these peptides showed that most of the identified MM (22 out of 23) represented the N- and C-terminal fragments of the alpha- and beta-chains of fibrinogen. The obtained data provide new information on the precise structure of fibrinogen fragments accumulating in uremic serum as MM. 相似文献

Effect of oxazaborolidines on immobilized fructosyltransferase analyzed by surface plasmon resonance
Dental diseases are among the most prevalent afflictions of humankind. These diseases are associated with the formation of biofilms harboring pathogenic bacteria. Fructosyltransferases (FTF) are extra cellular enzymes of several oral bacteria. FTF are associated with the formation of extracellular polysaccharide matrix (fructans) which play a role in biofilm formation and oral bacteria physiology. Oxazaborolidines have been shown to inhibit biofilm formation. The purpose of this study was to examine if the anti-biofilm effect is, in part, an effect on the immobilized enzymes synthesizing the extra cellular polysaccharide participating in biofilm formation. Eight different oxazaborolidines (BNO1-BNO8) were synthesized and evaluated for their affect on the synthesis of fructans by FTF using the biomolecular interaction analysis (BIAcore) system which involves the use of real-time surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. The tested oxazaborolidines demonstrated a significant and immediate inhibitory effect on immobilized FTF activity. This effect was reversible. Our results show that oxazaborolidines can act as enzymatic inhibitors of FTF immobilized on the surface, also at levels lower than their MIC. Part of the anti-biofilm effect of BNOs may be accounted for this enzymatic inhibition. 相似文献
