The dependence of proximal tubular sodium and fluid readsorption on the Na(+) concentration of the luminal and peritubular fluid was studied in the perfused necturus kidney. Fluid droplets, separated by oil from the tubular contents and identical in composition to the vascular perfusate, were introduced into proximal tubules, reaspirated, and analyzed for Na(+) and [(14)C]mannitol. In addition, fluid transport was measured in short-circuited fluid samples by observing the rate of change in length of the split droplets in the tubular lumen. Both reabsorptive fluid and calculated Na fluxes were simple, storable functions of the perfusate Na(+) concentration (K(m) = 35-39 mM/liter, V(max) = 1.37 control value). Intracellular Na(+), determined by tissue analysis, and open-circuit transepithelial electrical potential differences were also saturable functions of extracellular Na(+). In contrast, net reabsorptive fluid and Na(+) fluxes were linearly dependent on intracellular Na(+) and showed no saturation, even at sharply elevated cellular sodium concentrations. These concentrations were achieved by addition of amphotericin B to the luminal perfusate, a maneuver which increased the rate of Na(+) entry into the tubule cells and caused a proportionate rise in net Na(+) flux. It is concluded that active peritubular sodium transport in proximal tubule cells of necturus is normally unsaturated and remains so even after amphotericin-induced enhancement of luminal Na(+) entry. Transepithelial movement of NaCl may be described by a model with a saturable luminal entry step of Na(+) or NaCl into the cell and a second, unsaturated active transport step of Na(+) across the peritubular cell boundary. 相似文献

The Azospirillum brasilense ATCC 29145 gene coding for beta-lactamase was cloned in Escherichia coli. The gene was expressed in E. coli from its own promoter as a 30-kilodalton protein, conferring resistance to high levels of beta-lactam antibiotics. The DNA sequence containing the beta-lactamase gene was found to be highly amplified in the Azospirillum genome, scattered in the chromosomal as well as in the plasmidic DNA. 相似文献

The cuticular membrane (CM) ofNicotiana tabacumL., includingthe cellin wall (CW), was examined to gain more informationabout the nature and chemical constitution of its fine structurefor possible inclusion in a model system, as recent literaturequestions its function as a major water permeability barrier.Different preparation techniques were used and the results evaluatedto select a method for future studies on tobacco leaf cuticles.Fixation with OsO4included in the primary fixative, either asa vapour or in combination with other agents, followed by OsO4aspost-fixative, gave good contrast of the CM. The lamellar structureof the tobacco cuticle proper (CP) was revealed by contrastingwith uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The fine lamellar structureof the CP was very clearly contrasted when KMnO4was includedin the primary fixative. This was interpreted as indicatingthe tobacco CP to be polar. The reticulate fibrillar patternof the tobacco cuticular layer (CL) containing polysaccharideswas well contrasted when either OsO4or paraformaldehyde wereincluded in the primary fixative. Cold fixation with glutaraldehydeand dimethyl sulphoxide and post-fixation with OsO4revealedelectron-opaque material in the outer cutinized, irregularlyoutlined, region of the CW. These ultrahistochemical reactionsare discussed in relation to the known chemical compositionand possible water permeability of the CM.

Internal eliminated sequences (IESs) often interrupt ciliate genes in the
silent germline nucleus but are exactly excised and eliminated from the
developing somatic nucleus from which genes are then expressed. Some long
IESs are transposons, supporting the hypothesis that short IESs are ancient
transposon relics. In light of that hypothesis and to explore the
evolutionary history of a collection of IESs, we have compared various
alleles of a particular locus (the 81 locus) of the ciliated protozoa
Oxytricha trifallax and O. fallax. Three short IESs that interrupt two
genes of the locus are found in alleles from both species, and thus must be
relatively ancient, consistent with the hypothesis that short IESs are
transposon relics. In contrast, TBE1 transposon interruptions of the locus
are allele-specific and probably the results of recent transpositions.
These IESs (and the TBE1s) are precisely excised from the DNA of the
developing somatic macronucleus. Each IES interrupts a highly conserved
sequence. A few nucleotides at the ends of each IES are also conserved,
suggesting that they interact critically with IES excision machinery.
However, most IES nucleotide positions have evolved at high rates, showing
little or no selective constraint for function. Nonetheless, the length of
each IES has been maintained (+/- 3 bp). While one IES is approximately 33
bp long, three other IESs have very similar sizes, approximately 70 bp
long. Two IESs are surrounded by direct repeats of the sequence TTCTT. No
other sequence similarities were found between any of the four IESs.
However, the ends of one IES do match the inverted terminal repeat
consensus sequence of the "TA" IESs of Paramecium. Three O. trifallax
alleles appear to have been recipients in recent conversion events that
could have been provoked by double-strand breaks associated with IES ends
subsequent to IES transposition. Our findings support the hypothesis that
short IESs evolved from ancient transposons that have lost most of their
sequences, except those necessary for precise excision during macronuclear
development.

EDC3 phosphorylation regulates growth and invasion through controlling P‐body formation and dynamics
Jeremiah J Bearss Sathish KR Padi Neha Singh Marina CardoVila Jin H Song Ghassan Mouneimne Nikita Fernandes Yang Li Matthew R Harter Jaime MC Gard Anne E Cress Wolfgang Peti Andrew DL Nelson J Ross Buchan Andrew S Kraft Koichi Okumura 《EMBO reports》2021,22(4)
Regulation of mRNA stability and translation plays a critical role in determining protein abundance within cells. Processing bodies (P‐bodies) are critical regulators of these processes. Here, we report that the Pim1 and 3 protein kinases bind to the P‐body protein enhancer of mRNA decapping 3 (EDC3) and phosphorylate EDC3 on serine (S)161, thereby modifying P‐body assembly. EDC3 phosphorylation is highly elevated in many tumor types, is reduced upon treatment of cells with kinase inhibitors, and blocks the localization of EDC3 to P‐bodies. Prostate cancer cells harboring an EDC3 S161A mutation show markedly decreased growth, migration, and invasion in tissue culture and in xenograft models. Consistent with these phenotypic changes, the expression of integrin β1 and α6 mRNA and protein is reduced in these mutated cells. These results demonstrate that EDC3 phosphorylation regulates multiple cancer‐relevant functions and suggest that modulation of P‐body activity may represent a new paradigm for cancer treatment. 相似文献

The ecology and taxonomy of the epilithic diatom flora of the Agnéby River, Ivory Coast were studied in 2012. Ten sites were investigated and diatoms were sampled on glass slides immersed for a period of 30 days during the wet and dry seasons. Physico-chemical parameters were measured at each site while sampling diatoms. Five taxa were largely dominant: Planothidium comperei CE Wetzel, N’Guessan and Tison-Rosebery, Eolimna minima (Grunow) Lange-Bertalot, Planothidium piaficum (JR Carter and Denny) CE Wetzel and Ector, Cocconeis schroederi Foged and Cocconeis scutellum var. parva (Grunow in Van Heurck) Cleve. Electrical conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrite and phosphorus were found to influence the distribution of taxa. 相似文献

The biogeochemistry of Ca, Mg, K, and Nawere investigated in two forested catchments in theCzech Republic, one underlain by leucogranite, theother by serpentinite. High weathering rates at theserpentinite site at Pluhv Bor resultedin Mg2+ as the dominant cation on the soilexchange complex and in drainage water. Other basiccations (Ca2+, K+, Na+) showedrelatively low concentrations and outflow instreamwater. The catchment exhibited high basesaturation in mineral soils (>70%), and nearneutral soil and stream pH, despite elevated inputsof acidic deposition. Slow growth of Norway spruceat Pluhv Bor may be caused by K deficiency, Mgoversupply and/or Ni toxicity. In contrast, thegranitic site at Lysina showed low concentrations ofbasic cations on the soil exchange complex and instreamwater. Soil and drainage water at Lysina werehighly impacted by acidic deposition. Soil pH wasextremely acidic (<4.5) throughout the soilprofile, and the base saturation of the mineral soilwas very low (<5%). Supplies of basic cationsfrom atmospheric deposition and soil processes wereless than inputs of SO2-
4 on anequivalence basis, resulting in low pH and highconcentrations of total Al in drainage water. Needle yellowing in Norway spruce was possibly theresult of Mg deficiency at Lysina. Because of theirextremely different lithologies, these catchmentsserve as valuable end-members of ecosystemsensitivity to elevated levels of acidicdeposition. 相似文献

Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 targeting its RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is of current interest. Remdesivir has been approved for the treatment of COVID-19 around the world. However, the drug has been linked with pharmacological limitations like adverse effects and reduced efficiency. Nevertheless, recent advancements have depicted molnupiravir as an effective therapeutic agent to target the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp. The drug has cleared both in vitro and in vivo screening. It is in phase-III clinical trial. Nonetheless, there are no data on themolecular binding interaction of molnupiravir with RdRp. Therefore, it is of interest to report the binding interaction of molnupiravir using molecular docking. It is also of interest to show its stability during interaction using molecular dynamics and binding free energy calculations along with drug likeliness and pharmacokinetic properties in comparison with remdesivir. 相似文献
