Almost all eukaryotic mRNAs have a poly (A) tail at the 3′-end. Canonical PAPs (PAPα/γ) polyadenylate nuclear pre-mRNAs. The recent identification of the non-canonical Star-PAP revealed specificity of nuclear PAPs for pre-mRNAs, yet the mechanism how Star-PAP selects mRNA targets is still elusive. Moreover, how Star-PAP target mRNAs having canonical AAUAAA signal are not regulated by PAPα is unclear. We investigate specificity mechanisms of Star-PAP that selects pre-mRNA targets for polyadenylation. Star-PAP assembles distinct 3′-end processing complex and controls pre-mRNAs independent of PAPα. We identified a Star-PAP recognition nucleotide motif and showed that suboptimal DSE on Star-PAP target pre-mRNA 3′-UTRs inhibit CstF-64 binding, thus preventing PAPα recruitment onto it. Altering 3′-UTR cis-elements on a Star-PAP target pre-mRNA can switch the regulatory PAP from Star-PAP to PAPα. Our results suggest a mechanism of poly (A) site selection that has potential implication on the regulation of alternative polyadenylation. 相似文献

Diclofenac sodium (DS) is used primarily to treat fever and to alleviate pain and inflammation. We investigated the effects of DS exposure during gestation on the testes of rat pups to investigate the safety of its use during the prenatal period. Pregnant rats were separated into control, saline, low dose, medium dose and high dose groups. DS was given between weeks 15 and 21 of gestation. Total numbers of spermatogonia and Sertoli cells were counted in the testes of 7-day-old male rats using the physical disector method. By the end of the study, the total number of Sertoli cells was decreased significantly in a dose dependent manner in the medium and high dose groups compared to controls. No significant differences were found in the total number of spermatogonia in the control, saline and low dose DS groups. Medium and high dose DS administration reduced the total number of spermatogonia compared to other groups. We suggest that prenatal administration of DS can cause deleterious effects on the testis development, especially in high doses. 相似文献

The composition of 50 samples of essential oil of individual plants of Juniperus phoenicea subsp. turbinata from Corsica was investigated by GC, GC-MS and 13C NMR. alpha-Pinene, beta-phellandrene, alpha-terpinyl acetate, Delta-3-carene, myrcene and alpha-phellandrene were found to be the main constituents. The results were submitted to cluster analysis and discriminant analysis which allowed two groups of essential oils to be distinguished with respect to the content of alpha-pinene, beta-phellandrene and alpha-terpinyl acetate. 相似文献

Background
Many studies have provided algorithms or methods to assess a statistical significance in quantitative proteomics when multiple replicates for a protein sample and a LC/MS analysis are available. But, confidence is still lacking in using datasets for a biological interpretation without protein sample replicates. Although a fold-change is a conventional threshold that can be used when there are no sample replicates, it does not provide an assessment of statistical significance such as a false discovery rate (FDR) which is an important indicator of the reliability to identify differentially expressed proteins. In this work, we investigate whether differentially expressed proteins can be detected with a statistical significance from a pair of unlabeled protein samples without replicates and with only duplicate LC/MS injections per sample. A FDR is used to gauge the statistical significance of the differentially expressed proteins. 相似文献26.
Coordination of CoCl2 solutions to the silica polyamine composite, WP-1, made with the branched polymer polyethylenimine (PEI) shows irreversible binding resulting from surface oxidation of the Co2+-Co3+. This is not the case for the silica polyamine composite BP-1 made with the linear polymer polyallylamine where reversible binding and no oxidation is observed. These observations suggested that oxidation of the cobalt was related to the greater coordination number available with the branched polyamine relative to the linear polyamine. A study of the kinetics of cobalt binding to WP-1 indicated initial loading of Co2+ at relatively low coordination number followed by desorption of Co2+ leading to oxidation and irreversible binding. Exclusion of oxygen from the composite-cobalt solution mixtures resulted in irreversible binding at a level that was 14% of the initial experiments. These observations prompted us to undertake a study to elucidate the coordination number around cobalt in the case of the branched polymer PEI. Towards this end, we have synthesized the model complexes [(tren)Co(H2O)2]3+3Cl− (tren = tris(2,2′,2″aminoethyl)amine) and [(dien)Co(H2O)3]3+3Cl− (dien = diethylenetriamine). The UV-Vis spectra of these model complexes were compared with Co3+ coordinated to PEI in solution and it was concluded that the UV-Vis spectrum of the tren complex was closer to that observed for the solution UV-Vis spectrum of Co3+-PEI. These data indicated that coordination of four amines was needed to drive surface oxidation under ambient conditions. In order to further elucidate the coordination number of a metal coordinated to the surfaces of WP-1 and BP-1, we reacted these composites with the probe molecule [Ru(CO)3(TFA)3]−K+ (TFA = trifluoroacetate) (1) where the carbonyl stretching frequencies could be used as a measure of coordination number and geometry of the adsorbed complex. The IR of this complex on WP-1 indicated a monocarbonyl species while the IR of this complex on BP-1 indicated the presence of dicarbonyl species on the surface. These data are consistent with a coordination number of four amines in the case of WP-1 and the coordination of two amines in the case of BP-1 based on our previous studies of the solution coordination chemistry of the 1. Subsequent 13C CPMAS solid-state NMR on 13CO enriched samples of the 1 adsorbed onto BP-1 and WP-1 were consistent with the IR data. 相似文献

Background
The species Brassica rapa includes important vegetable and oil crops. It also serves as an excellent model system to study polyploidy-related genome evolution because of its paleohexaploid ancestry and its close evolutionary relationships with Arabidopsis thaliana and other Brassica species with larger genomes. Therefore, its genome sequence will be used to accelerate both basic research on genome evolution and applied research across the cultivated Brassica species.Results
We have determined and analyzed the sequence of B. rapa chromosome A3. We obtained 31.9 Mb of sequences, organized into nine contigs, which incorporated 348 overlapping BAC clones. Annotation revealed 7,058 protein-coding genes, with an average gene density of 4.6 kb per gene. Analysis of chromosome collinearity with the A. thaliana genome identified conserved synteny blocks encompassing the whole of the B. rapa chromosome A3 and sections of four A. thaliana chromosomes. The frequency of tandem duplication of genes differed between the conserved genome segments in B. rapa and A. thaliana, indicating differential rates of occurrence/retention of such duplicate copies of genes. Analysis of 'ancestral karyotype' genome building blocks enabled the development of a hypothetical model for the derivation of the B. rapa chromosome A3.Conclusions
We report the near-complete chromosome sequence from a dicotyledonous crop species. This provides an example of the complexity of genome evolution following polyploidy. The high degree of contiguity afforded by the clone-by-clone approach provides a benchmark for the performance of whole genome shotgun approaches presently being applied in B. rapa and other species with complex genomes. 相似文献28.

Background
On the island of Bioko (Equatorial Guinea), insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have been the main tool used to control malaria over the last 13 years. In 2004, started an indoor residual spraying (IRS) campaign to control malaria. The purpose of this study is to asses the impact of the two control strategies on the island of Bioko (Equatorial Guinea), with regards to Plasmodium infection and anaemia in the children under five years of age.Methods
Two transversal studies, the first one prior to the start of the IRS campaign and the second one year later. Sampling was carried out by stratified clusters. Malaria infection was measured by means of thick and thin film, and the packed cell volume (PCV) percentage. Data related to ITN use and information regarding IRS were collected. The Pearson's chi-square and logistic regression statistical tests were used to calculate odds ratios (OR)Results
In the first survey, 168 children were sampled and 433 children in the second one. The prevalence of infection was 40% in 2004, and significantly lower at 21.7% in 2005. PCV was 41% and 39%, respectively. 58% of the children surveyed in 2004 and 44.3% in 2005 had slept under an ITN. 78% of the dwellings studied in 2005 had been sprayed. In the 2005 survey, sleeping without a mosquito net meant a risk of infection 3 times greater than sleeping protected with a net hanged correctly and with no holes (p < 0.05).Conclusion
IRS and ITNs have proven to be effective control strategies on the island of Bioko. The choice of one or other strategy is, above all, a question of operational feasibility and availability of local resources. 相似文献29.

Reaction of 3,4-difluoropyrrole with the labile triosmium cluster [Os3(CO)10(CH3CN)2] affords products in which C-H, N-H and C-F bonds are cleaved under mild conditions. C-H and N-H bonds are cleaved to give [Os3H(NCCFCFCH2)(CO)10] (1) a non-aromatic stabilised form of 3,4-difluoropyrrole. Thermolysis of 1 affords in moderate yields the compounds [Os3H2(CCCFCHNH)(CO)9] (2) and [Os3H2(NCHCFCFC)(CO)9] (3). For compound 3, C-H and N-H bonds are cleaved with concomitant migration of H atoms to the metal framework. In contrast, for compound 2 activation of C-H and C-F bonds leads to coordination of the ligand through the carbon atoms, acting as a four-electron donating species. 相似文献
