The neurite outgrowth and adhesion complex (NOAC), isolated from rabbit sera has been dissociated in its major components by reverse-phase chromatography in HPLC by using a C18 column. SDS-PAGE analisys of the active fractions revealed the presence of three major bands of approximately 100, 70 and 50 kDa. Studies on the biological activity of NOAC were carried out on rat cerebellar granule cells. NOAC-cultured cells exhibit a marked resistance to excitotoxic stimuli carried by glutamate. 相似文献

High nucleotide sequence variation in a region of low recombination in Drosophila simulans is consistent with the background selection model 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We surveyed nucleotide sequence variation at glucose dehydrogenase (Gld),
in a region of low recombination on chromosome 3R, from a population sample
of Drosophila simulans. The levels of nucleotide variation were
surprisingly high. There was no departure from the expectation of a neutral
model for the level of polymorphism, indicating no evidence of a selective
sweep in this region. There was a significant deficiency of singleton
polymorphisms according to the Fu and Li test, although Tajima and Hudson,
Kreitman, and Aguade (HKA) tests do not provide evidence of a significant
elevation of variation due to balancing selection. Genetic map data for the
D. simulans third chromosome were used to calculate expected values of pi
for Gld under a current model of background selection, varying the values
for the parameter sh (selection coefficient against deleterious mutations).
We show that the recombinational landscape of D. simulans is sufficiently
different from that of D. melanogaster that we expect higher variation
under the background selection model, even when effective population sizes
are assumed to be equal. The data for Gld were tested against the
predictions using computer simulations of the distribution of the number of
segregating sites conditioned on pi. Background selection alone can explain
our observations as long as sh is larger than 0.005 and species-level
effective population size is assumed to be several- fold larger than in D.
melanogaster. Alternatively, the deleterious mutation rate may be smaller
in D. simulans, or balancing selection may be acting nearby, thereby
reducing the effect of background selection.

Comparative evolutionary analysis of rDNA ITS regions in Drosophila 总被引:15,自引:2,他引:15
Schlotterer C; Hauser MT; von Haeseler A; Tautz D 《Molecular biology and evolution》1994,11(3):513-522
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA is generally
considered to be under low functional constraint, and it is therefore often
treated as a typical nonfunctional spacer sequence. We have analyzed the
ITS regions of five species from the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup, two
Drosophila species from outside this group (D. pseudoobscura and D.
virilis), as well as from the more distantly related dipteran fly Musca
domestica. The sequence comparisons show a distinctive
conservation/divergence pattern, indicating that some regions are more
conserved than others. Moreover, secondary-structure calculations indicate
several conserved structural elements within the ITS regions. On the other
hand, a statistical test that allows us to estimate the fraction of sites
that are not under selective constraint suggests that more than half of the
spacer is apparently free to diverge and evolves with a rate that is close
to the neutral rate of sequence evolution in Drosophila. The ITS sequences
can be used to derive a molecular phylogeny for the species under study. We
find that the ITS tree is largely in line with the so-far-known phylogeny
of this group of species, with one difference. The species most distant
within the D. melanogaster subgroup is D. yakuba, rather than D. orena, as
is normally assumed.

Interactions of divalent cations with single calcium channels from rat brain synaptosomes 总被引:7,自引:2,他引:7 下载免费PDF全文
MT Nelson 《The Journal of general physiology》1986,87(2):201-222
Voltage-dependent calcium channels from a rat brain membrane preparation ("synaptosomes") were incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The effects of calcium, barium, strontium, manganese, and cadmium ions on the amplitudes and kinetics of single channel currents were examined. The order of single channel conductances was gBa greater than gSr greater than gMn, which was the inverse of the order of the mean channel open times: TMn greater than TCa = TSr greater than TBa. In contrast, the identity of the charge carrier had little or no effect on the mean closed times of the channel. Manganese, in the absence of other permeant ions, can pass through single channels (gMn = 4 pS). However, when added to a solution that contained another type of permeant divalent cation, manganese reduced the single channel current in a voltage-dependent manner. Cadmium, a potent blocker of macroscopic "ensemble" calcium currents in many preparations, reduced the current through an open channel in a manner consistent with Cd ions both not being measurably permeant and interacting with a single site. The permeant ions competed with cadmium for this site with the following order: Mn greater than Sr = Ca greater than Ba. These results are consistent with the existence of no less than one divalent cation binding site in the channel that regulates ion permeation. 相似文献

Background
Diets rich in whole grain are associated with several health benefits. Little is known however, about whole grain consumption patterns in Malaysia. The aim of this study was to assess whole grain intakes and dietary source in Malaysian children and adolescents.Methods
This analysis is from the MyBreakfast study, a national cross sectional study investigating eating habits among primary and secondary school children throughout Malaysia, conducted in 2013. Children (n = 5,165) and adolescents (n = 2,947) who completed two days of dietary assessment using a food record or recall respectively were included. The whole grain content of foods was estimated mainly through the use of quantitative ingredient declarations on food labels. All wholegrain foods were considered irrespective of the amount of whole grain they contained.Results
Overall, only 25% of children and 19% of adolescents were wholegrain consumers. Mean daily intakes in the total sample were 2.3g/d (SD 5.8g/d) in children and 1.7g/d (SD 4.7g/d) in adolescents and in the consumer’s only sample, mean intakes reached 9.1g/d (SD 8.6) and 9.2g/d (SD 7.1g/d) respectively. Wheat was the main grain source of whole grain while ready to eat breakfast cereals and hot cereals were the main food contributors. Less than 3% of the children and adolescents reached the US quantitative whole grain recommendation of 48g/day.Conclusion
Whole grain is consumed by only a minority of Malaysian children and adolescents and even among consumers, intakes are well below recommendations. Efforts are needed to firstly understand the barriers to whole grain consumption among Malaysian children in order to design effective health promotion initiatives to promote an increase in whole grain consumption. 相似文献49.

Background
Evidence suggests that dendritic cells accumulate in the lungs of COPD patients and correlate with disease severity. We investigated the importance of IL-1R1 and its ligands IL-1α and β to dendritic cell accumulation and maturation in response to cigarette smoke exposure.Methods
Mice were exposed to cigarette smoke using a whole body smoke exposure system. IL-1R1-, TLR4-, and IL-1α-deficient mice, as well as anti-IL-1α and anti-IL-1β blocking antibodies were used to study the importance of IL-1R1 and TLR4 to dendritic cell accumulation and activation.Results
Acute and chronic cigarette smoke exposure led to increased frequency of lung dendritic cells. Accumulation and activation of dendritic cells was IL-1R1/IL-1α dependent, but TLR4- and IL-1β-independent. Corroborating the cellular data, expression of CCL20, a potent dendritic cells chemoattractant, was IL-1R1/IL-1α-dependent. Studies using IL-1R1 bone marrow-chimeric mice revealed the importance of IL-1R1 signaling on lung structural cells for CCL20 expression. Consistent with the importance of dendritic cells in T cell activation, we observed decreased CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation in cigarette smoke-exposed IL-1R1-deficient mice.Conclusion
Our findings convey the importance of IL-1R1/IL-1α to the recruitment and activation of dendritic cells in response to cigarette smoke exposure. 相似文献50.
