Glc7, the yeast protein phosphatase 1, is a component of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF). Here we show that downregulation of Glc7, or its dissociation from CPF in the absence of CPF subunits Ref2 or Swd2, results in similar snoRNA termination defects. Overexpressing a C-terminal fragment of Sen1, a superfamily I helicase required for snoRNA termination, suppresses the growth and termination defects associated with loss of Swd2 or Ref2, but not Glc7. Suppression by Sen1 requires nuclear localization and direct interaction with Glc7, which can dephosphorylate Sen1 in vitro. The suppressing fragment, and in a similar manner full-length Sen1, copurifies with the snoRNA termination factors Nrd1 and Nab3, suggesting loss of Glc7 from CPF can be compensated by recruiting Glc7 to Nrd1-Nab3 through Sen1. Swd2 is also a subunit of the Set1c histone H3K4 methyltransferase complex and is required for its stability and optimal methyltransferase activity. 相似文献

Aim: This study was carried out to determine if there is any association between plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) gene 4G/5G polymorphism and plasma PAI-1 enzyme activity in acute stroke patients. Methods: In this study, 333 genomic DNAs (from 253 acute stroke patients and 80 healthy subjects) were analyzed. Genomic DNAs were prepared from peripheral blood using a saline method. These DNAs were amplified by PCR method using primers specific for 4G and 5G alleles. PCR products were separated by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by a charge coupled device (CCD) camera. PAI-1 enzyme activities were measured by ELISA method. The results were evaluated statistically with Student's t-test, chi(2)-test, one-way analysis of variance, and stepwise regression analysis. Results: In this study, frequency of PAI-1 gene 4G5G genotype was found to be low both in patients and controls. PAI-1 enzyme activities were significantly increased in acute stroke patients compared to controls. Although PAI-1 gene 4G5G genotype frequencies were low, the patients carrying this allele had highest plasma PAI-1 enzyme activity; likewise, although PAI-1 gene 4G4G genotype frequencies were high, the patients carrying this allele had lowest plasma PAI-1 enzyme activities. Homocysteine levels had a positive effect of 65% on plasma PAI-1 enzyme activities. Conclusion: Consequently, in this study, we may assert that PAI-1 gene, 4G4G and 5G5G genotypes, PAI-1 activity, and homocysteine level determination are significant criteria for identifying patients who are likely to develop stroke; on the other hand, a direct relation does not exist between gene polymorphism and enzyme activity. 相似文献

The light-harvesting complex (LHC) of higher plants isolated using Triton X-100 has been studied during its transformation into a monomeric form known as CPII. The change was accomplished by gradually increasing the concentration of the detergent, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Changes in the red spectral region of the absorption, circular dichroism (CD), and linear dichroism spectra occurring during this treatment have been observed at room temperature. According to a current hypothesis the main features of the visible region absorption and CD spectra of CPII can be explained reasonably successfully in terms of an exciton coupling among its chlorophyll (Chl) b molecules. We suggest that the spectral differences between the isolated LHC and the CPII may be understood basically in terms of an exciton coupling between the Chl b core of a given CPII unit and at least one of the Chla's of either the same or the adjacent CPII. We propose that this Chl a-Chl b coupling existing in LHC disappears upon segregation into CPII, probably as a result of a detergent-related overall rotation of the strongly coupled Chl b core which changes the relative orientations of the two types of pigments and thus the nature of their coupling.Abbreviations Chl

Actinobacillus (Aggregatibacter) actinomycetemicomitans (Aa) is a bacterium that lives in the oral cavity and plays an important role in periodontal diseases. The effect of A.actinomycetemcomitans’s heat shock family protein GroEL on host or immune cells including monocytes is quite limited. In this study, the recombinant A.actinomycetemcomitans’s GroEL protein (rAaGroEL) was used as an antigen and its effects on monocytes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was investigated. To do that, PBMCs were stimulated with rAaGroEL protein at different time points (16h to 96h) and the cytokines of CD14+ monocytes were detected with intracellular cytokine staining by Flow cytometry. Data showed that AaGroEL protein has an antigenic effect on human primary monocytes. AaGroEL protein responsive CD14 monocytes stimulates the expression of IL12, IL10, IFNγ and TNFα cytokines with different kinetics and expression profile. Therefore, A. actinomycetemcomitans’s heat shock GroEL protein can modulate innate and adaptive immune responses and contribute to an inflammatory diseases pathology. 相似文献

Objective: The objective was to determine whether knee osteoarthritis (OA) reduces exercise ambulatory capacity and impairs quality of life (QOL) in obese individuals. Research Methods and Procedures: There were 56 subjects, with and without knee OA, who were obese. The subjects were evaluated with anthropometric measurements, a body composition assessment, maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test, 6‐minute walk test (6‐MWT), perceived exertion (RPE), self‐reported disability [Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)], and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF‐36). Results: VO2peak was significantly higher in the controls when compared with the patients (mean ± standard deviation, 1.584 ± 0.23 L/kg per min vs. 0.986 ± 0.20 L/kg per min; p < 0.001). Obese subjects without knee OA walked a significantly longer distance in the 6‐MWT than obese patients with knee OA (p < 0.001). We also observed significant negative correlation between Vo 2max and RPE, WOMAC pain and physical limitation, and bodily pain and general health domains of short‐form 36. Discussion: Knee OA reduces exercise and ambulatory capacity and impairs QOL in obese individuals. RPE, WOMAC pain, and SF‐36 items might provide information about exercise capacity in the obese subjects with knee OA. Our study confirms that exercise capacity and QOL might be improved by energetic and intensive treatment of pain resulting from knee OA. 相似文献

Strain H2R21T, a novel actinobacterium, isolated from a forest soil sample collected from Heybeliada, Istanbul, Turkey, and a polyphasic approach was used for characterisation of the strain. Chemotaxonomic and morphological characterisation of strain H2R21T indicated that it belongs to the genus Nonomuraea. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that the strain is closely related to Nonomuraea purpurea 1SM4-01T (99.1%) and Nonomuraea solani CGMCC 4.7037T (98.4%). DNA–DNA relatedness values were found to be lower than 70% between the isolate and its phylogenetic neighbours N. purpurea 1SM4-01T, N. solani CGMCC 4.7037T and Nonomuraea rhizophila YIM 67092T. The whole cell hydrolysates of strain H2R21T were found to contain meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and glucose, madurose, mannose and ribose as the cell sugars. The polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, dihydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, glycophosphatidylinositol, two glycophospholipids and two unidentified lipids. The predominant menaquinones were identified as MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H6). The major fatty acids were found to be iso-C16:0, iso-C16:0 2OH and C17:0 10-methyl. On the basis of DNA–DNA relatedness data and some phenotypic characteristics, it is evident that strain H2R21T can be distinguished from the closely related species in the genus Nonomuraea. Thus, it is concluded that strain H2R21T represents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea, for which the name Nonomuraea insulae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H2R21T (= DSM 102915T = CGMCC 4.7338T = KCTC 39769T). 相似文献
