Efficient plant regeneration was achieved from callus derived from immature-cotyledon explants of oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.). Calli were obtained on MS media containing 3% sucrose and different concentrations of TDZ. The highest rate of green,
compact and nodular callus was formed on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l of TDZ. Shoot organogenesis was achieved when
the callus was transferred onto MS media containing 3% sucrose and BA alone (05–4 mg/l) or BA (0.5 and 1 mg/l) combined with
NAA or IAA (0.5 and 1 mg/l). Maximum organogenesis was obtained with 1 mg/l BA in combination with 0.5 mg/l NAA. Rooting of
the shoots was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l IBA. Regenerated plantlets were acclimatized and successfully
transplanted to soil. 相似文献

The hypothesis of environmentally related life history variations between two Rutilus rutilus caspicus populations was investigated by comparing Gomishan and Anzali populations along the southern shores of the Caspian Sea. The roach growth rate in the Anzali wetland was higher than in the Gomishan wetland. There were significant differences in growth patterns between males and females from both wetlands, however the sex ratios were not significantly different. Fecundity or reproductive investment (Gonadosomatic index – GSI) of the Gomishan roach was significantly more than the Anzali roach. In both areas the absolute fecundity was significantly positive correlated to age and total length. 相似文献

Renal tumor heterogeneity studies have utilized the von Hippel-Lindau VHL gene to classify disease into molecularly defined subtypes to examine associations with etiologic risk factors and prognosis. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of VHL inactivation in clear cell renal tumors (ccRCC) and to evaluate relationships between VHL inactivation subgroups with renal cancer risk factors and VHL germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). VHL genetic and epigenetic inactivation was examined among 507 sporadic RCC/470 ccRCC cases using endonuclease scanning and using bisulfite treatment and Sanger sequencing across 11 CpG sites within the VHL promoter. Case-only multivariate analyses were conducted to identify associations between alteration subtypes and risk factors. VHL inactivation, either through sequence alterations or promoter methylation in tumor DNA, was observed among 86.6% of ccRCC cases. Germline VHL SNPs and a haplotype were associated with promoter hypermethylation in tumor tissue (OR = 6.10; 95% CI: 2.28–16.35, p = 3.76E-4, p-global = 8E-5). Risk of having genetic VHL inactivation was inversely associated with smoking due to a higher proportion of wild-type ccRCC tumors [former: OR = 0.70 (0.20–1.31) and current: OR = 0.56 (0.32–0.99); P-trend = 0.04]. Alteration prevalence did not differ by histopathologic characteristics or occupational exposure to trichloroethylene. ccRCC cases with particular VHL germline polymorphisms were more likely to have VHL inactivation through promoter hypermethylation than through sequence alterations in tumor DNA, suggesting that the presence of these SNPs may represent an example of facilitated epigenetic variation (an inherited propensity towards epigenetic variation) in renal tissue. A proportion of tumors from current smokers lacked VHL alterations and may represent a biologically distinct clinical entity from inactivated cases. 相似文献

Specific and predictable hybridization of the polynucleotide sequences to their complementary counterparts plays a fundamental role in the rational design of new nucleic acid nanodevices. Generally, nucleic acid hybridization can be performed using two major strategies, namely hybridization of DNA or RNA targets to surface-tethered oligonucleotide probes (solid-phase hybridization) and hybridization of the target nucleic acids to randomly distributed probes in solution (solution-phase hybridization). Investigations into thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of these two strategies showed that hybridization on surfaces is less favorable than that of the same sequence in solution. Indeed, the efficiency of DNA hybridization on surfaces suffers from three constraints: (1) electrostatic repulsion between DNA strands on the surface, (2) steric hindrance between tethered DNA probes, and (3) nonspecific adsorption of the attached oligonucleotides to the solid surface. During recent years, several strategies have been developed to overcome the problems associated with DNA hybridization on surfaces. Optimizing the probe surface density, application of a linker between the solid surface and the DNA-recognizing sequence, optimizing the pH of DNA hybridization solutions, application of thiol reagents, and incorporation of a polyadenine block into the terminal end of the recognizing sequence are among the most important strategies for enhancing DNA hybridization on surfaces. 相似文献

Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus; GAS) is an important human pathogen responsible for mild to severe, life-threatening infections. GAS expresses a wide range of virulence factors, including the M family proteins. The M proteins allow the bacteria to evade parts of the human immune defenses by triggering the formation of a dense coat of plasma proteins surrounding the bacteria, including IgGs. However, the molecular level details of the M1-IgG interaction have remained unclear. Here, we characterized the structure and dynamics of this interaction interface in human plasma on the surface of live bacteria using integrative structural biology, combining cross-linking mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We show that the primary interaction is formed between the S-domain of M1 and the conserved IgG Fc-domain. In addition, we show evidence for a so far uncharacterized interaction between the A-domain and the IgG Fc-domain. Both these interactions mimic the protein G-IgG interface of group C and G streptococcus. These findings underline a conserved scavenging mechanism used by GAS surface proteins that block the IgG-receptor (FcγR) to inhibit phagocytic killing. We additionally show that we can capture Fab-bound IgGs in a complex background and identify XLs between the constant region of the Fab-domain and certain regions of the M1 protein engaged in the Fab-mediated binding. Our results elucidate the M1-IgG interaction network involved in inhibition of phagocytosis and reveal important M1 peptides that can be further investigated as future vaccine targets. 相似文献

Dehydrins are one of the characteristic families of plant proteins that usually accumulate in response to drought. In the present study, gene expressions of dehydrin multigene family (13 genes) were examined in flag leaves of tolerant (Yousef) and susceptible (Moroco) barley varieties under terminal drought to characterize the involvement of dehydrins in the adaptive processes. The stomatal conductance, RWC, and Chl a, b contents had more reduction in Moroco than the Yousef which has more elevated osmotic adjustment. Drought stress increased significantly MDA and electrolyte leakage levels, but greater in Moroco, indicating a poor protection of cell and cytoplasmic membrane in this variety. Yousef variety had no reduction in grain yield under drought condition. Five genes (Dhn1, Dhn3, Dhn5, Dhn7 and Dhn9) were exclusively induced in Yousef under drought stress. In the stress condition, relative gene expression of Dhn3, Dhn9 had the direct correlations (P < 0.05) with Chl a, b contents, osmotic adjustment, stomatal conductance, plant biomass and grain yield, and the negative correlations (P < 0.05) with MDA and electrolyte leakage levels. The results supported the impending functional roles of dehydrin Kn and particularly YnSKn types in dehydration tolerance of barley during the reproductive stage. 相似文献

New folic acid-conjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticles were synthesized. The effect of calcination at 400°C on the fluorescence characteristics of mesoporous silica nanoparticles were studied in this work. The formed carbon dots (CDs) from calcination were used as the source of fluorescence. 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane was then used to amine-functionalized the fluorescent surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles. The amine fluorescence mesoporous silica nanoparticles (amine-FMSNs) were coupled with folic acid (FA) as the target ligand (FA-amine-FMSNs). A palladium complex was also synthesized and encapsulated in the FA-amine-FMSNs yielded fluorescent property with therapeutic effect. The in vitro release of an entrapped palladium complex from FA-amine-FMSNs was studied under physiological conditions. According to the cell viability assay on HeLa (positive FR) and Hep-G2 (negative FR) cells, the targeted delivery system inhibited the growth of positive FR with higher selectivity compared with negative FR cells. Also, the emission CDs were used for fluorescence microscopic imaging. To confirm anti-cancer activity of the palladium complex, the interaction between palladium complex and G-quadruplex DNA were investigated with multi-spectroscopic methods and molecular modeling. The molecular docking studies showed a partial intercalation mode with a 4.27 × 105 M?1 binding constant. 相似文献

The reaction of free base para-substituted meso-tetraarylporphyrins (H2T(p-X)PP, X = H, OMe, Me, and Cl) with indium(III) chloride in CHCl3 and mild conditions produced intermediate sitting-atop (i-SAT) complexes, [InCl2(H2T(p-X)PP)]InCl4, as sole products. In the proposed structures of these complexes, four pyrrole rings are tilted alternatively up and down the porphyrin plane. This distortion makes suitable orientation of lone pairs of two pyrrolenine nitrogens for electron donation to an indium center of cation. The 1:2 (porphyrin:indium) formation constant of resulting i-SAT complexes were calculated by the computer fitting of the complexes absorbance versus mole ratio data based on appropriate equations. Thermodynamic parameters, ΔG0, ΔH0, and ΔS0, have been determined and the influence of electron donation of the para-substituted aryl groups in the free base porphyrins on the stability of the complexes is discussed. 相似文献

Wild goat (Capra aegagrus) is one of the highly valued but threatened ungulates of Iran. Seasonal habitat use of wild goat was studied from October
2006 to September 2008 in Haftad Gholleh Protected Area, central Iran. We developed averaged logistic regression models based
on Akaike Information Criterion weights for each season. The obtained habitat suitability models showed high sensitivity (greater
than 88%) for all evaluation datasets. Wild goat habitat use was positively related with steep slopes, areas near rocky substrates
and water sources, west-facing slopes and areas far from roads in all seasons. Core zones of protected area covered nearly
70% of suitable habitats for wild goats, predicted by logistic regression models. Northern core zone covered more than 61%
of predicted suitable habitats, which should receive more attention in management actions. The southern core zone boundaries
should be considered to increase the encompassed suitable habitats. There was a substantial overlap between seasonal suitable
habitats with the highest overlap observed between spring and summer and summer and fall. 相似文献

Organophosphorus (OP) compounds are one of the most hazardous chemicals used as insecticides/pesticide in agricultural practices. A large variety of OP compounds are hydrolyzed by organophosphorus hydrolases (OPH; EC 3.1.8.1). Therefore, OPHs are among the most suitable candidates that could be used in designing enzyme-based sensors for detecting OP compounds. In this work, a novel nanobiosensor for the detection of paraoxon was designed and fabricated. More specifically, OPH was covalently embedded onto chitosan and the enzyme–chitosan bioconjugate was then immobilized on negatively charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) electrostatically. The enzyme was immobilized on AuNPs without chitosan as well, to compare the two systems in terms of detection limit and enzyme stability under different pH and temperature conditions. Coumarin 1, a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, was used as a fluorogenic probe. The emission of coumarin 1 was effectively quenched by the immobilized Au-NPs when bound to the developed nanobioconjugates. However, in the presence of paraoxon, coumarin 1 left the nanobioconjugate, leading to enhanced fluorescence intensity. Moreover, compared to the immobilized enzyme without chitosan, the chitosan-immobilized enzyme was found to possess decreased Km value by more than 50%, and increased Vmax and Kcat values by around 15% and 74%, respectively. Higher stability within a wider range of pH (2–12) and temperature (25–90°C) was also achieved. The method worked in the 0 to 1050?nM concentration ranges, and had a detection limit as low as 5?×?10?11 M. 相似文献
