A fast and reproducible procedure was elaborated for isolation of tightly coupled mitochondria from wild type and nap mutant Neurospora crassa cells harvested at different growth stages. The isolated mitochondrial preparations had controlled metabolic states and were tightly coupled, i.e., displayed good respiratory control and had close to the theoretically expected maximal ADP/O ratios upon oxidation of Krebs cycle intermediates and exogenous NADH. They contained the fully competent respiratory chain with all three points of energy conservation. Oxidation of all examined substrates by mitochondria from both wild type and mutant cells was mediated by two alternative terminal oxidative systems, albeit to varying extent, with the more pronounced engagement of the alternative oxidase in the stationary growth phase and with a minor contribution of this non-phosphorylating pathway in the substrate oxidation by mutant mitochondria. Oxidation of NAD-dependent substrates by mitochondria from the two cell types was accommodated via both rotenone-sensitive and rotenone-insensitive pathways, while the level of rotenone-insensitive pathway in mutant cells was lower than in wild type cells. It is suggested that a more limited contribution of alternative non-phosphorylating oxidative pathways to the total respiration in mutant cells, as compared with wild type cells, could, at least partially, explain an elevated ATP level in these cells. However, the absence of principal differences in the arrangement of the respiratory chain in mitochondria of wild type and mutant cells implies that the elevated ATP level in the nap mutant is largely related to reduced ATP expenses for transport processes in these cells. 相似文献

Effects of recombinant -carotene on the resistance of E. coli culture to menadione and paraquat were studied. The presence of -carotene in E. coli cells prevented, to a considerable extent, an increase in superoxide dismutase activity (induced by redox mediators) without affecting the culture growth. These findings suggest that -carotene is involved in the defense of cells against oxidative stress. 相似文献

A comparative study of the changes in the components of the antioxidant defense system (ADS), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase and the level of extractable SH-groups, during the growth of wild-type and mutant (white collar-1 and white colar-2) Neurospora crassa strains was performed. Oxidative stress developing during spore germination and upon the transition to a stationary growth phase was accompanied in all strains by an increase in the level of extractable SH-groups and SOD activity, whereas the total catalase activity decreased during growth. However, in contrast to the wild-type strain, the activity of the catalase in the mutant strains wc-1 and wc-2 slightly increased upon the transition to the stationary phase. In the wc-2 mutant, SOD activity and the level of extractable SH-groups in the exponential growth phase were always lower than in the wild-type and wc-1 strains. The role of wc-1 and wc-2 genes in the level regulation of reactive oxygen species is discussed. 相似文献

Biotransformation of -carotene with enzyme preparations isolated from the mycelium of Blakeslea trispora resulted in the formation of its hydroxylated metabolite and apocarotenals, products of oxidative degradation of this compound. Based on its spectral, chromatographic, and chemical properties, the -carotene derivative was identified as 4-hydroxy--carotene (isocryptoxanthine). One of the products of oxidative degradation of -carotene, -apo-13-carotenone, was modified in the presence of enzyme preparations from Blakeslea trispora to form trisporic acid precursors. -Apo-13-carotenone transformation proceeded more rapidly than -carotene oxidation at the carbon atom at position 4. The data suggest that, under oxidative stress, oxidative degradation of -carotene into -apo-13-carotenone leads to the formation of considerable amounts of trisporic acids. 相似文献

Dark grown mycelial cells of Neurospora crassa bearing mutant genes crisp-I or frost and having a decreased level of cyclic adenosine 3,5-monophosphate contained more carotenoid pigments than the cells with wild alleles of these genes. A transient decrease of the cyclic AMP occurred following photoinduction of carotenoid synthesis during its lag-period. Its intensity correlated with the increase of carotenoid pigment level due to photoinduction. No correlation in the content of cyclic guanosine 5-phosphate with both constitutive level of carotenoids and its photoinduced increase was observed. 相似文献

The influence of light in a spectrum range of 350–500 nm 20 W m-2 (20,000 erg · cm-2 · s-1) has been studied in the mycelial cells of Neurospora crassa. Light-induced input resistance and membrane potential changes can be measured by means of intracellular microelectrodes. The value of the input resistance reached maximum after a 2–5 min illumination. The maximum hyperpolarization of the cell membrane reaching 30–40 mV was observed after 20–25 min illumination, when the input resistance values did not differ significantly in the illuminated and non-illuminated cells. 相似文献

Membrane potentials, input resistances, and electric coupling in the apical parts of N. crassa growing hyphae were recorded with the aid of intracellular microelectrodes. It was revealed that the apical cells were always depolarized by 10 to 30 mV as compared to the adjacent proximal cells. The septal pore maintained an electrical resistance of 4 to 6 M omega. The calculated values of the endogenous electrical current passing through the septal pore varied between 0.5 and 1 nA. Electrical isolation of the apical cells resulted in their depolarization from 120-150 mV to 40-60 mV, characteristics of the membrane potential value of N. crassa adult hyphae with completely blocked electrogenic pumps. A simultaneous increase in the input resistance value from 15-20 M omega to 40-80 M omega was observed. The above data can be explained assuming that H+-ATPase activity was greatly lowered in the apical cells. Thus in the intact hyphae with electrically coupled cells energy is transferred from the proximal hyphal compartments to the apical ones. 相似文献

Reassociation kinetics of DNA from the macronucleus of the ciliate, Tetrahymena pyriformis GL, has been studied. The genome size determined by the kinetic complexity of DNA was found to be 2.0×108 base pairs (or 1.2×1011 daltons). About 90% of the macronuclear DNA fragments 200–300 nucleotides in length reassociate at a rate corresponding to single-copy nucleotide sequences, and 7–9% at a rate corresponding to moderate repetitive sequences; 3–4% of such DNA fragments reassociate at C0t practically equal to zero. To investigate the linear distribution of repetitive sequences, DNA fragments of high molecular weight were reassociated and reassociation products were treated with Sl-nuclease. DNA double-stranded fragments were then fractionated by size. It has been established that in the Tetrahymena genome long regions containing more than 2000 nucleotides make up about half of the DNA repetitive sequences. Another half of the DNA repetitive sequences (short DNA regions about 200–300 nucleotides long) intersperse with single-copy sequences about 1,000 nucleotides long. Thus, no more than 15% of the Tetrahymena genome is patterned on the principle of interspersing single-copy and short repetitive sequences. Most of the so called zero time binding or foldback DNA seem to be represented by inverted self-complementary (palindromic) nucleotide sequences. The conclusion has been drawn from the analysis of this fraction isolated preparatively by chromatography. About 75% of the foldback DNA is resistant to Sl-nuclease treatment. The Sl-nuclease resistance is independent of the original DNA concentration. Heat denaturation and renaturation are reversible and show both hyper and hypochromic effects. The majority of the inverted sequences are unique and about 20% are repeated tens of times. According to the equilibrium distribution in CsCl density gradients the average nucleotide content of the palindromic fraction does not differ significantly from that of total macronuclear DNA. It was shown that the largest part of this fraction of the Tetrahymena genome are not fragments of ribosomal genes. 相似文献
