The lipid membrane has been shown to mediate the fibrillogenesis and toxicity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide. Electrostatic interactions between Abeta40 and the phospholipid headgroup have been found to control the association and insertion of monomeric Abeta into lipid monolayers, where Abeta exhibited enhanced interactions with charged lipids compared with zwitterionic lipids. To elucidate the molecular-scale structural details of Abeta-membrane association, we have used complementary X-ray and neutron scattering techniques (grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction, X-ray reflectivity, and neutron reflectivity) in this study to investigate in situ the association of Abeta with lipid monolayers composed of either the anionic lipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-rac-(1-glycerol)] (DPPG), the zwitterionic lipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), or the cationic lipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl 3-trimethylammonium propane (DPTAP) at the air-buffer interface. We found that the anionic lipid DPPG uniquely induced crystalline ordering of Abeta at the membrane surface that closely mimicked the beta-sheet structure in fibrils, revealing an intriguing templated ordering effect of DPPG on Abeta. Furthermore, incubating Abeta with lipid vesicles containing the anionic lipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-rac-(1-glycerol)] (POPG) induced the formation of amyloid fibrils, confirming that the templated ordering of Abeta at the membrane surface seeded fibril formation. This study provides a detailed molecular-scale characterization of the early structural fluctuation and assembly events that may trigger the misfolding and aggregation of Abeta in vivo. Our results implicate that the adsorption of Abeta to anionic lipids, which could become exposed to the outer membrane leaflet by cell injury, may serve as an in vivo mechanism of templated-aggregation and drive the pathogenesis of AD. 相似文献

Fine structure of nucleoli in micronucleated cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The correlation between the number of nucleolus organizing regions (NOR) on metaphase chromosomes and the number of nucleoli was studied in normal and micronucleate cells. Many micronuclei, but not all, were able to form complete nucleoli with fibrillar and granular RNP components and fibrillar centers. Micronuclei which failed to form complete nucleoli often contained multiple electron-dense bodies of fibrillar material. These structures, which were much smaller than nucleoli, reacted with nucleolus-specific antibodies and the Ag-As method in the same way as complete nucleoli, but lacked fibrillar centers and granular RNP components. The data suggest that these nucleolus-like ‘blobs’ contain nucleolar material which, following mitosis, has been enclosed in micronuclei which do not contain nucleolus organizing chromosomes. No evidence was found for the activation of latent NORs not expressed in mononucleate cells. 相似文献

The activities of cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterases (EC 3.1.4.1), adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) and protein carboxyl-methylase (EC 2.1.1.24) were measured in the particulate and soluble (105 000 g supernatant) fractions of washed spermatozoa isolated from five segments of the adult rat epididymis. The activities of both phosphodiesterases decreased during epididymal transit, whereas adenylate cyclase and protein carboxyl-methylase underwent a progressive increase, the latter showing the most marked alteration. Both cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterases as well as the adenylate cyclase were all associated primarily with the particulate fraction, and the extent to which these enzymes were associated with the membranes increased as the spermatozoa passed through the epididymis. Sperm protein carboxyl-methylase activity was, on the other hand, predominantly soluble in all segments of the epididymis. Adenylate cyclase, cAMP phosphodiesterase and protein carboxyl-methylase activities were found predominantly in the sperm tails, whereas cGMP phosphodiesterase was equally distributed between heads and tails. These observations imply that the acknowledged increase in intracellular cAMP levels which occurs in spermatozoa during epididymal transit may be a consequence of both increased synthesis (adenylate cyclase) and reduced hydrolysis (phosphodiesterase). 相似文献

The possible influence of the nucleus on Cytochalasin B (CB)-induced capping of antibodies to surface antigens on L cells SV40-3T3 and NRK La 334 cells was studied. The cap formation induced by CB, was generally localized opposite the nucleus which was displaced against the cell periphery. To be able to observe the nuclear membrane in relation to the capping process we have taken advantage of an antiserum specific for antigens in the nuclear membrane but lacking reactivity to the plasma membrane and intranuclear antigens. This approach indicated that the CB-induced capping caused an accumulation of nuclear membrane antigens in the area of the nucleus facing the cap. The CB-induced local accumulation of nuclear membrane antigens required intact cells and could not be induced by binding of antibodies to the nuclear membrane followed by exposure to CB. Whatever the basis for the CB-induced altered reactivity of the anti-nuclear membrane antibodies (folding of the nuclear periphery, for example) this result indicated that the nuclear membrane was affected by CB capping. The possible role of the nucleus in the CB-induced capping process was further investigated in enucleated cells. The results obtained indicate that such cells both when enucleated in suspension and adherent to a surface did not exhibit CB capping. This disappearance of CB capping did probably not reflect decreased cell viability, previous exposure of the cells to CB during the enucleation procedure or a decreased capacity of the enucleated cells to bind CB. 相似文献

An isolated pool of vesicles recycles at rest and drives spontaneous neurotransmission 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Spontaneous synaptic vesicle fusion is a common property of all synapses. To trace the origin of spontaneously fused vesicles in hippocampal synapses, we tagged vesicles with fluorescent styryl dyes, antibodies against synaptotagmin-1, or horseradish peroxidase. We could show that synaptic vesicles recycle at rest, and after spontaneous exo-endocytosis, they populate a reluctantly releasable pool of limited size. Interestingly, vesicles in this spontaneously labeled pool were more likely to re-fuse spontaneously compared to vesicles labeled with activity. We found that blocking vesicle refilling at rest selectively depleted neurotransmitter from spontaneously fusing vesicles without significantly altering evoked transmission. Furthermore, in the absence of the vesicle SNARE protein synaptobrevin (VAMP), activity-dependent and spontaneously recycling vesicles could mix, suggesting a role for synaptobrevin in the separation of the two pools. Taken together these results suggest that spontaneously recycling vesicles and activity-dependent recycling vesicles originate from distinct pools with limited cross-talk with each other. 相似文献

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)‐ribosylation is a post‐translational protein modification implicated in the regulation of a range of cellular processes. A family of proteins that catalyse ADP‐ribosylation reactions are the poly(ADP‐ribose) (PAR) polymerases (PARPs). PARPs covalently attach an ADP‐ribose nucleotide to target proteins and some PARP family members can subsequently add additional ADP‐ribose units to generate a PAR chain. The hydrolysis of PAR chains is catalysed by PAR glycohydrolase (PARG). PARG is unable to cleave the mono(ADP‐ribose) unit directly linked to the protein and although the enzymatic activity that catalyses this reaction has been detected in mammalian cell extracts, the protein(s) responsible remain unknown. Here, we report the homozygous mutation of the c6orf130 gene in patients with severe neurodegeneration, and identify C6orf130 as a PARP‐interacting protein that removes mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation on glutamate amino acid residues in PARP‐modified proteins. X‐ray structures and biochemical analysis of C6orf130 suggest a mechanism of catalytic reversal involving a transient C6orf130 lysyl‐(ADP‐ribose) intermediate. Furthermore, depletion of C6orf130 protein in cells leads to proliferation and DNA repair defects. Collectively, our data suggest that C6orf130 enzymatic activity has a role in the turnover and recycling of protein ADP‐ribosylation, and we have implicated the importance of this protein in supporting normal cellular function in humans. 相似文献

Recent studies have begun to scrutinize the presynaptic machinery and vesicle populations that give rise to action potential evoked and spontaneous forms of neurotransmitter release. In several cases this work produced unexpected results which lend support to the notion that regulation, mechanisms, postsynaptic targets and possibly presynaptic origins of evoked and spontaneous neurotransmitter release differ. Furthermore, the list of regulatory pathways that impact spontaneous and evoked release in a divergent manner is rapidly growing. These findings challenge our classical views on the relationship between evoked and spontaneous neurotransmission. In contrast to the well-characterized neuromodulatory pathways that equally suppress or augment all forms of neurotransmitter release, molecular substrates specifically controlling spontaneous release remain unclear. In this review, we outline possible mechanisms that may underlie the differential regulation of distinct forms of neurotransmission and help demultiplex complex neuronal signals and generate parallel signaling events at their postsynaptic targets. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines of pericardial fluid on hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery. Seventy-eight patients were included in the study and they were allocated to three groups: group 1, stable angina pectoris (SAP, n = 15); group 2, unstable angina pectoris (USAP, n = 34); group 3, post-myocardial infarction (PMI, n = 29). Pericardial fluid and arterial blood samples were obtained from all patients and interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-2 receptor, IL-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels were measured. Pericardial IL-1beta concentration (pg/mL) was significantly higher in the USAP group (26.6 +/- 10.9) compared to the SAP (5.0 +/- 0.1) and PMI (5.8 +/- 1.0) groups. IL-2R, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha concentrations of pericardial fluid were significantly higher than serum in all groups; difference was more prominent in the PMI group compared to the SAP and the USAP groups. Serum IL-1beta concentrations (pg/mL) were significantly higher in the USAP group (21.8 +/- 3.4) compared to the SAP group (5.0 +/- 0.1) and the PMI group (5.4 +/- 1.6). Cardiac index (CI) before opening the pericardial sac was found to be lower in the USAP group (1.6 +/- 0.3 L/min/m2) compared to the SAP (2.2 +/- 0.5 L/min/m2) and the PMI (2.1 +/- 0.5 L/min/m2) groups (p = 0.028 and p = 0.011, respectively). In the USAP group, there was a relationship between reduction of CI and increase of IL-1beta levels in serum and pericardial fluid. 相似文献
