New data were obtained for the Solanum brevidens Fill. nucleotide sequences coding for polygalacturonase inhibitor proteins (PGIPs), which are involved in plant defense against phytopathogenic fungi. Highly degenerate primers directed to the conserved regions of the known PGIP genes of tomato, kiwi, apple, carrot, and grape were used to clone four pgip genes and one pseudogene from the genome of S. brevidens, a species that is closely related to cultivated potato, forms no tubers, is highly resistant to phytopathogens, and is often employed in potato breeding. The sequenced part of the coding region of the new genes is 924 bp and codes for a protein of 308 amino acid residues (without the leader peptide). The genes were designated as pgipSbr1(1), pgipSbr1 (2). pgipSbr2, pgipSbr3, and pgipSbr4. The amino acid sequences of the S. brevidens PGIPs have 90.9-99.4% identity to each other and 94% identity to PGIP of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., another member of the family Solanaceae. The amino acid residues differing between S. brevidens PGIPs were assumed to determine the selectivity of interactions with particular polyglucuronases of phytopathogenic fungi. 相似文献

Some pesticides may interfere with the female hormonal function, which may lead to negative effects on the reproductive system
through disruption of the hormonal balance necessary for proper functioning. Previous studies primarily focused on interference
with the estrogen and/or androgen receptor, but the hormonal function may be disrupted in many more ways through pesticide
exposure. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the various ways in which pesticides may disrupt the hormonal function
of the female reproductive system and in particular the ovarian cycle. Disruption can occur in all stages of hormonal regulation:
1. hormone synthesis; 2. hormone release and storage; 3. hormone transport and clearance; 4. hormone receptor recognition
and binding; 5. hormone postreceptor activation; 6. the thyroid function; and 7. the central nervous system. These mechanisms
are described for effects of pesticide exposure in vitro and on experimental animals in vivo. For the latter, potential effects of endocrine disrupting pesticides on the female reproductive system, i.e. modulation
of hormone concentrations, ovarian cycle irregularities, and impaired fertility, are also reviewed. In epidemiological studies,
exposure to pesticides has been associated with menstrual cycle disturbances, reduced fertility, prolonged time-to-pregnancy,
spontaneous abortion, stillbirths, and developmental defects, which may or may not be due to disruption of the female hormonal
function. Because pesticides comprise a large number of distinct substances with dissimilar structures and diverse toxicity,
it is most likely that several of the above-mentioned mechanisms are involved in the pathophysiological pathways explaining
the role of pesticide exposure in ovarian cycle disturbances, ultimately leading to fertility problems and other reproductive
effects. In future research, information on the ways in which pesticides may disrupt the hormonal function as described in
this review, can be used to generate specific hypotheses for studies on the effects of pesticides on the ovarian cycle, both
in toxicological and epidemiological settings. 相似文献

The bovine leukemia virus (BLV) envelope gene encoding extracellular glycoprotein gp51 and transmembrane glycoprotein gp30 was cloned into a vehicle expression vector under the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) intermediate early promoter. The intramuscular injection of this plasmid vector generated a cellular immune response. Seven out of ten cows vaccinated with the DNA construct resisted a drastic challenge (500 BLV-infected lymphocytes as an infectious dose). 相似文献

The introduction of plasmid DNA into germinating spores of an industrially improved strain of Saccharopolyspora erythraea was accomplished by electroporation. Various parameters affecting the efficiency of electroporation were examined. The most
critical factor was the extent of spore germination. Electrocompetence was limited to a 4-h period following the initial emergence
of the germ tube. Electroporation efficiencies as high as 2 × 105 CFU μg−1 of plasmid DNA were obtained using electrocompetent germlings. The optimal field strength was 12–14 kV cm−1 with a pulse duration of 15–20 ms. Electrocompetent germlings were stored at −80°C without a significant decrease in transformation
efficiency. The utility of this protocol was demonstrated by isolating a propionyl-CoA carboxylase mutant through targeted
gene disruption and replacement.

Sequence variations in small-subunit ribosomal RNAs of Hartmannella vermiformis and their phylogenetic implications 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Evidence of associations between free-living amoebas and human disease has
been increasing in recent years. Knowledge about phylogenetic relationships
that may be important for the understanding of pathogenicity in the genera
involved is very limited at present. Consequently, we have begun to study
these relationships and report here on the phylogeny of Hartmannella
vermiformis, a free-living amoeba that can harbor the etiologic agent of
Legionnaires' disease. Our analysis is based on studies of small-subunit
ribosomal RNA genes (srDNA). Nucleotide sequences were determined for
nuclear srDNA from three strains of H. vermiformis isolated from the United
Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. These sequences then were compared
with a sequence previously obtained for a North American isolate by J. H.
Gunderson and M. L. Sogin. The four genes are 1,840 bp long, with an
average GC content of 49.6%. Sequence differences among the strains range
are 0.38%-0.76%. Variation occurs at 19 positions and includes 2
single-base indels plus 14 monotypic and 3 ditypic single-base
substitutions. Variation is limited to eight helix/loop structures
according to a current model for srRNA secondary structure. Parsimony,
distance, and bootstrap analyses used to examine phylogenetic relationships
between the srDNA sequences of H. vermiformis and other eukaryotes
indicated that Hartmannella sequences were most closely related to those of
Acanthamoeba and the alga Cryptomonas. All ditypic sites were consistent
with a separation between European and North American strains of
Hartmannella, but results of other tests of this relationship were
statistically inconclusive.

Duck red cells in hypertonic media experience rapid osmotic shrinkage followed by gradual reswelling back toward their original volume. This uptake of salt and water is self limiting and demands a specific ionic composition of the external solution. Although ouabain (10(-4)M) alters the pattern of cation accumulation from predominantly potassium to sodium, it does not affect the rate of the reaction, or the total amount of salt or water taken up. To study the response without the complications of active Na-K transport, ouabain was added to most incubations. All water accumulated by the cells can be accounted for by net salt uptake. Specific external cation requirements for reswelling include: sufficient sodium (more than 23 mM), and elevated potassium (more than 7 mM). In the absence of external potassium cells lose potassium without gaining sodium and continue to shrink instead of reswelling. Adding rubidium to the potassium- free solution promotes an even greater loss of cell potassium, yet causes swelling due to a net uptake of sodium and rubidium followed by chloride. The diuretic furosemide (10(-3)M) inhibits net sodium uptake which depends on potassium (or rubidium), as well as inhibits net sodium uptake which depends on sodium. As a result, cell volume is stabilized in the presence of this drug by inhibition of shrinkage, at low, and of swelling at high external potassium. The response has a high apparent energy of activation (15-20 kcal/mol). We propose that net salt and water movements in hypertonic solutions containing ouabain are mediated by direct coupling or cis-interaction, between sodium and potassium so that the uphill movement of one is driven by the downhill movement of the other in the same direction. 相似文献
