Starting from 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium perchlorate, 5-amino-1,3,5-triphenyl-pentane-1,3-diol stereoisomers 4 were obtained in a simple two-step synthesis: reaction with hydroxylamine, and reduction with LAH of the resulting 2-isoxazoline ketone derivative 2. The eight stereoisomers of 4 were separated in a single shot on a chiral stationary phase cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Chiralcel OD-H). The absolute configuration of the title compounds, intermediate 2-isoxazoline ketone 2 and isoxazoline alcohol derivative 3 were determined using a combination of diastereoselective synthesis, affiliation of the sign in chemical interconversion method, and X-ray determination. 2-Isoxazoline ketone 2 enantiomers and isoxazoline alcohol 3 enantiomers were obtained by chiral HPLC on Chiralpak AD column. 2-Isoxazoline ketone 2 enantiomers can be racemized via a retro Michael addition. 相似文献

Variation in rates of molecular evolution now appears to be widespread. The
demonstration that body size is correlated with rates of molecular
evolution suggests that physiological and ecological factors may be
involved in molecular rate variation, but large-scale comparative studies
are still lacking. Here, we use complete cytochrome b sequences from 85
species of tube-nosed seabirds (order Procellariiformes) and 5 outgroup
species of penguins (order Sphenisciformes) to test for an association
between body mass and rates of molecular evolution within the former avian
order. Cladistic analysis of the 90 sequences estimates a phylogeny largely
consistent with the traditional taxonomy of the Procellariiformes. The
Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, and Pelecanoididae are monophyletic, while the
Hydrobatidae are basal and paraphyletic. However, the two subfamilies
within the Hydrobatidae (Hydrobatinae and Oceanitinae) are monophyletic. A
likelihood ratio test detects significant deviation from clocklike
evolution in our data. Using a sign test for an association between body
mass and branch length in the seabird phylogeny, we find that larger taxa
tend to have shorter terminal branch lengths than smaller taxa. This
observation suggests that rates of mitochondrial DNA evolution are slower
for larger taxa. Rate calibrations based on the fossil record reveal
concordant body size effects. We interpret these results as evidence for a
metabolic rate effect, as the species in this order exhibit large
differences in metabolic rates, which are known to be highly correlated
with body mass in this group. Our results support previous findings of body
size effects and show that this effect can be significant even within a
single avian order. This suggests that even lineage-specific molecular
clocks may not be tenable if calibrations involve taxa with different
metabolic rates.

The structural basis of molecular adaptation 总被引:31,自引:21,他引:10
The study of molecular adaptation has long been fraught with difficulties,
not the least of which is identifying out of hundreds of amino acid
replacements those few directly responsible for major adaptations. Six
studies are used to illustrate how phylogenies, site- directed mutagenesis,
and a knowledge of protein structure combine to provide much deeper
insights into the adaptive process than has hitherto been possible. Ancient
genes can be reconstructed, and the phenotypes can be compared to modern
proteins. Out of hundreds of amino acid replacements accumulated over
billions of years those few responsible for discriminating between
alternative substrates are identified. An amino acid replacement of modest
effect at the molecular level causes a dramatic expansion in an ecological
niche. These and other topics are creating the emerging field of
"paleomolecular biochemistry."

Subunit structure in the walls of sectioned microtubules was first noted by Ledbetter and Porter (6), who clearly showed that certain microtubules of plant meristematic cells have 13 wall protofilaments when seen in cross section. Earlier, protofilaments of microtubular elements had been described in negatively stained material, although exact counts of their number were difficult to obtain. In microtubular elements of axonemes, some success has been achieved in visualizing protofilaments in conventionally fixed and sectioned material (8, 10); much less success has been achieved in identifying and counting protofilaments of singlet cytoplasmic microtubules. By using glutaraldehyde-tannic acid fixation, as described by Misuhira and Futaesaku (7), Tilney et al. (12) studied microtubules from a number of sources and found that all have 13 protofilaments comprising their walls. These authors note that "...the number of subunits and their arrangement as protofilaments appear universal...". Preliminary studies of ventral nerve cord of crayfish fixed in glutaraldehyde-tannic acid indicated that axonal microtubules in this material possess only 12 protofilaments (4). On the basis of this observation, tannic acid preparations of several other neuronal and non-neuronal systems were examined. Protofilaments in microtubules from these several cell types are clearly demonstrated, and counts have been made which show that some kinds of microtubules have more or fewer protofilaments than the usual 13 and that at least one kind of microtubule has an even rather than an odd number. 相似文献

The phylogenetic position of the archaebacteria and the place of eukaryotes
in the history of life remain a question of debate. Recent studies based on
some protein-sequence data have obtained unusual phylogenies for these
organisms. We therefore collected the protein sequences that were available
with representatives from each of the major forms of life: the
gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, archaebacteria, and
eukaryotes. Monophyletic, unrooted phylogenies based on these sequence data
show that seven of 24 proteins yield a significant
gram-positive-archaebacteria clade/gram-negative- eukaryotic clade. The
phylogenies for these seven proteins cannot be explained by the traditional
three-way split of the eukaryotes, archaebacteria, and eubacteria. Nine of
the 24 proteins yield the traditional gram-positive-gram-negative
clade/archaebacteria-eukaryotic clade. The remaining eight proteins give
phylogenies that cannot be statistically distinguished. These results
support the hypothesis of a chimeric origin for the eukaryotic cell nucleus
formed from the fusion of an archaebacteria and a gram-negative bacteria.

Calcium control of waveform in isolated flagellar axonemes of chlamydomonas 总被引:29,自引:24,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
The effect of Ca(++) on the waveform of reactivated, isolated axonemes of chlamydomonas flagella was investigated. Flagella were detached and isolated by the dibucaine procedure and demembranated by treatment with the detergent Nonidet; the resulting axomenes lack the flagellar membrane and basal bodies. In Ca(++)-buffered reactivation solutions containing 10(-6) M or less free Ca(++), the axonemes beat with a highly asymmetrical, predominantly planar waveform that closely resembled that of in situ flagella of forward swimming cells. In solutions containing 10(-4) M Ca(++), the axonemes beat with a symmetrical waveform that was very similar to that of in situ flagella during backward swimming. In 10(-5) M Ca(++), the axonemes were predominantly quiescent, a state that appears to be closely associated with changes in axomenal waveform or direction of beat in many organisms. Experiments in which the concentrations of free Ca(++), not CaATP(--) complex were independently varied suggested that free Ca(++), not CaATP(--), was responsible for the observed changes. Analysis of the flagellar ATPases associated with the isolated axonemes and the nonidet- soluble membrane-matrix fraction obtained during preparation of the axonemes showed that the axonemes lacked the 3.0S Ca(++)-activated ATPase, almost all of which was recovered in the membrane-matrix fraction. These results indicate that free Ca(++) binds directly to an axonemal component to alter flagellar waveform, and that neither the 3.0S CaATPase nor the basal bodies are directly involved in this change. 相似文献

The mosaic nature of the eukaryotic nucleus 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The phylogenies for each of the protein-coding genes from the Methanococcus
jannaschii genome were surveyed to determine the history of the major
groups of life. For each gene, homologous sequences from other archaea,
eucarya, and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were collected and
aligned, and a phylogeny was reconstructed with a maximum-likelihood
algorithm. The majority of significant phylogenies favor the eucarya and
the archaca as sister groups. A smaller, but still substantial, portion of
these significant phylogenies favor an eucarya/Gram-negative clade. These
results indicate that support for the early history of life is not
unequivocal. A chimeric origin of eukaryotes or an ancient, massive
horizontal transfer of genes from Gram-negative bacteria to eucarya can
explain many of the observed phylogenies.

Several studies have indicated that olfactory responses are impeded by
amiloride. Therefore, it was of interest to see whether, and if so which,
olfactory epithelial cellular compartments have amiloride- sensitive
structures. Using ultrastructural methods that involved rapid freezing,
freeze-substitution and low temperature embedding of olfactory epithelia,
this study shows that, in the rat, this tissue is immunoreactive to
antibodies against amiloride sensitive Na(+)- channels. However, microvilli
of olfactory supporting cells, as opposed to receptor cilia, contained most
of the immunoreactive sites. Apices from which the microvilli sprout and
receptor cell dendritic knobs had much less if any of the
amiloride-antibody binding sites. Using a direct ligand-binding
cytochemical method, this study also confirms earlier ones that showed that
olfactory receptor cell cilia have Na+, K(+)-ATPase. It is proposed that
supporting cell microvilli and the receptor cilia themselves have
mechanisms, different but likely complementary, that participate in
regulating the salt concentration around the receptor cell cilia. In this
way, both structures help to provide the ambient mucous environment for
receptor cells to function properly. This regulation of the salt
concentration of an ambient fluid environment is a function that the
olfactory epithelium shares with cells of transporting epithelia, such as
those of kidney.
