Replacement of receptor cells in the hamster vomeronasal epithelium after nerve transection 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Chemoreceptor cells in the vomeronasal and olfactory epithelium are
replaced following experimentally induced degeneration. This study analyzes
quantitatively the time course and degree of vomeronasal receptor cell
replacement. Unilateral transection of the vomeronasal nerves in adult
hamster was used to induce a retrograde degeneration of receptor cells in
the vomeronasal organ. Histological measurement of both number of receptor
cells and epithelial thickness were made for recovery times from 0 to 60
days. After nerve transection, there was a gradual degeneration of receptor
cells, the number decreasing to 50% of control by day 2 and 16% by day 6.
During days 7-15 maximum receptor cell replacement was observed. Cell
number increased rapidly and reached a peak on day 15. At recovery times of
40-60 days, cell number returned to the control level. Epithelial
thickness, however, decreased to 60-70% during the degeneration period
(days 4-6) and did not return to control levels. After 40-60 days
epithelial thickness remained at 70% of control. These results demonstrate
that vomeronasal receptor cells are replaced following degeneration, but
epithelial thickness does not return to control levels. These findings
suggest that the number of replacement cells is not limited by the reduced
thickness of the epithelium, and that recovery mechanisms may function to
restore an optimum number of receptor cells.

The filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii is currently used for the industrial production of vitamin B2. Furthermore, the ability of A. gossypii to grow using low-cost substrates together with the inexpensive downstream processing makes this fungus an attractive biotechnological chassis. Indeed, the production in A. gossypii of other high-added value compounds such as folic acid, nucleosides and biolipids has been described. Hence, the development of new methods to expand the molecular toolkit for A. gossypii genomic manipulation constitutes an important issue for the biotechnology of this fungus. In this work, we present a one-vector CRISPR/Cas9 system for genomic engineering of A. gossypii. We demonstrate the efficiency of the system as a marker-less approach for nucleotide deletions and substitutions both with visible and invisible phenotypes. Particularly, the system has been validated for three types of genomic editions: gene inactivation, the genomic erasure of loxP scars and the introduction of point mutations. We anticipate that the use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for A. gossypii will largely contribute to facilitate the genomic manipulations of this industrial fungus in a marker-less manner. 相似文献

Thioredoxin reductases control the redox state of thioredoxins (Trxs)—ubiquitous proteins that regulate a spectrum of enzymes by dithiol–disulfide exchange reactions. In most organisms, Trx is reduced by NADPH via a thioredoxin reductase flavoenzyme (NTR), but in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, this function can also be performed by an iron-sulfur ferredoxin (Fdx)-dependent thioredoxin reductase (FTR) that links light to metabolic regulation. We have recently found that some cyanobacteria, such as the thylakoid-less Gloeobacter and the ocean-dwelling green oxyphotobacterium Prochlorococcus, lack NTR and FTR but contain a thioredoxin reductase flavoenzyme (formerly tentatively called deeply-rooted thioredoxin reductase or DTR), whose electron donor remained undefined. Here, we demonstrate that Fdx functions in this capacity and report the crystallographic structure of the transient complex between the plant-type Fdx1 and the thioredoxin reductase flavoenzyme from Gloeobacter violaceus. Thereby, our data demonstrate that this cyanobacterial enzyme belongs to the Fdx flavin-thioredoxin reductase (FFTR) family, originally described in the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium pasteurianum. Accordingly, the enzyme hitherto termed DTR is renamed FFTR. Our experiments further show that the redox-sensitive peptide CP12 is modulated in vitro by the FFTR/Trx system, demonstrating that FFTR functionally substitutes for FTR in light-linked enzyme regulation in Gloeobacter. Altogether, we demonstrate the FFTR is spread within the cyanobacteria phylum and propose that, by substituting for FTR, it connects the reduction of target proteins to photosynthesis. Besides, the results indicate that FFTR acquisition constitutes a mechanism of evolutionary adaptation in marine phytoplankton such as Prochlorococcus that live in low-iron environments. 相似文献
