Both the Entamoeba histolytica lectin, a virulence factor for the causative
agent of amebiasis, and the mammalian hepatic lectin bind to
N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and galactose (Gal) nonreducing termini on
oligosaccharides, with preference for GalNAc. Polyvalent GalNAc-
derivatized neoglycoproteins have >1000-fold enhanced binding affinity
for both lectins (Adler,P., Wood,S.J., Lee,Y.C., Lee,R.T., Petri,W.A.,Jr.
and Schnaar,R.L.,1995, J. Biol. Chem ., 270, 5164-5171). Substructural
specificity studies revealed that the 3-OH and 4-OH groups of GalNAc were
required for binding to both lectins, whereas only the E.histolytica lectin
required the 6-OH group. Whereas GalNAc binds with 4-fold lower affinity to
the E.histolytica lectin than to the mammalian hepatic lectin,
galactosamine and N-benzoyl galactosamine bind with higher affinity to the
E. histolytica lectin. Therefore, a synthetic scheme for converting
polyamine carriers to poly-N-acyl galactosamine derivatives (linked through
the galactosamine primary amino group) was developed to test whether such
ligands would bind the E.histolytica lectin with high specificity and high
affinity. Contrary to expectations, polyvalent derivatives including
GalN6lys5, GalN4desmosine, GalN4StarburstTMdendrimer, and
GalN8StarburstTMdendrimer demonstrated highly enhanced binding to the
mammalian hepatic lectin but little or no enhancement of binding to the
E.histolytica lectin. We propose that the mammalian hepatic lectin binds
with greatest affinity to GalNAc "miniclusters," which mimic branched
termini of N-linked oligosaccharides, whereas the E.histolytica lectin
binds most effectively to "maxiclusters," which may mimic more widely
spaced GalNAc residues on intestinal mucins.

The aim of the current research was to determine tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) microbiological quality produced under greenhouse conditions in 5 municipalities of the State of Mexico. Studies were conducted during the 2013 production cycle to know the risks and apply prevention strategies prior to its consumption. A microbiological analysis of samples of irrigation water, soil and 100 tomato fruits variety cid was performed to determine Aerobic Mesophiles, Total Coliforms and Fecal Coliforms. The methodology used were those according to the Official Mexican Standards NOM- 109-SSA1-1994, NOM-110-SSA1-1994, NOM-092-SSA1-1994, NOM-113-SSA1-1994, and the Regulations of the National French Organization for Standardization (AFNOR) NF V08-60, and NOM-093-SSA1-1994, which establish the allowable limits for the study microorganisms. The results showed a zero level of pollution in water and soil samples. For fruits, levels of Aerobic Mesophilic were within the maximum limits permitted by the standards. The municipality of Texcaltitlan showed the highest average for these microorganisms (10083.80 CFU/mL). Huixquilucan showed 2266.84 CFU/mL for Total Coliforms. For Fecal Coliforms, municipalities of Coatepec and Texcaltitlan exceeded the allowed limit. 相似文献

This study examined whether inward rectifying K+ (KIR) channels facilitate cell-to-cell communication along skeletal muscle resistance arteries. With the use of feed arteries from the hamster retractor muscle, experiments examined whether KIR channels were functionally expressed and whether channel blockade attenuated the conduction of acetylcholine-induced vasodilation, an index of cell-to-cell communication. Consistent with KIR channel expression, this study observed the following: 1) a sustained Ba2+-sensitive, K+-induced dilation in preconstricted arteries; 2) a Ba2+-sensitive inwardly rectifying K+ current in arterial smooth muscle cells; and 3) KIR2.1 and KIR2.2 expression in the smooth muscle layer of these arteries. It was subsequently shown that the discrete application of acetylcholine elicits a vasodilation that conducts with limited decay along the feed artery wall. In the presence of 100 microM Ba2+, the local and conducted response to acetylcholine was attenuated, a finding consistent with a role for KIR in facilitating cell-to-cell communication. A computational model of vascular communication accurately predicted these observations. Control experiments revealed that in contrast to Ba2+, ATP-sensitive- and large-conductance Ca2+ activated-K+ channel inhibitors had no effect on the local or conducted vasodilatory response to acetylcholine. We conclude that smooth muscle KIR channels play a key role in facilitating cell-to-cell communication along skeletal muscle resistance arteries. We attribute this facilitation to the intrinsic property of negative slope conductance, a biophysical feature common to KIR2.1- and 2.2-containing channels, which enables them to increase their activity as a cell hyperpolarizes. 相似文献

Cryobanking, the freezing of biological specimens to maintain their integrity for a variety of anticipated and unanticipated uses, offers unique opportunities to advance the basic knowledge of biological systems and their evolution. Notably, cryobanking provides a crucial opportunity to support conservation efforts for endangered species. Historically, cryobanking has been developed mostly in response to human economic and medical needs — these needs must now be extended to biodiversity conservation. Reproduction technologies utilizing cryobanked gametes, embryos and somatic cells are already vital components of endangered species recovery efforts. Advances in modern biological research (e.g. stem cell research, genomics and proteomics) are already drawing heavily on cryobanked specimens, and future needs are anticipated to be immense. The challenges of developing and applying cryobanking for a broader diversity of species were addressed at an international conference held at Trier University (Germany) in June 2008. However, the magnitude of the potential benefits of cryobanking stood in stark contrast to the lack of substantial resources available for this area of strategic interest for biological science — and society at large. The meeting at Trier established a foundation for a strong global incentive to cryobank threatened species. The establishment of an Amphibian Ark cryobanking programme offers the first opportunity for global cooperation to achieve the cryobanking of the threatened species from an entire vertebrate class. 相似文献

Several fundamental questions remain enigmatic concerning human olfactory
sensitivity, including (i) whether detection threshold differences exist
between the two sides of the nose (and, if so, whether such differences are
influenced by handedness) and (ii) whether bilateral (i.e. binasal)
stimulation leads to lower thresholds than unilateral stimulation (and, if
so, whether the degree of facilitation is inversely related to general
olfactory ability). In this study, and well-validated single staircase
procedure was used to establish bilateral and unilateral detection
thresholds for the cranial nerve I stimulant phenyl ethyl alcohol in 130
right- and 33 left-handed subjects. No differences in sensitivity between
the left and right sides of the nose were observed in either group.
Bilateral thresholds were lower, on average, than unilateral thresholds
when the latter were categorized in terms of left and right nares. However,
the bilateral thresholds did not differ significantly from those of the
side of the nose with the lower threshold. Overall smell ability, as
measured by the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test, did
not interact with any of the test measures. These data imply that (i) the
left and right sides of the nose do not systematically differ in detection
threshold sensitivity for either dextrals or sinistrals and (ii) if central
integration of left:right olfactory threshold sensitivity occurs, its
effects do not exceed the function of the better side of the nose.

The fungus Cochliobolus carbonum causes leaf spot disease of maize. Highly virulent isolates of the pathogen produce a host-selective, peptide toxin that is active against susceptible genotypes of maize. Prior to infection, spores must germinate and differentiate appressoria, structures specialized for leaf penetration. Analysis of spore germination fluids by plasma desorption mass spectrometry, which allowed detection of as little as 0.5 ng toxin, revealed that spores induced to form appressoria in vitro synthesized and released the toxin at a time coincident with maturation of appressoria. Spores incubated under conditions that did not induce appressorium formation failed to produce toxin. These observations indicate that synthesis of the host-selective toxin, which is essential for successful pathogenesis of maize by C. carbonum, is regulated by infection-related morphogenesis. 相似文献
