MOTIVATION: Complex biological functions emerge from interactions between proteins in stable supra-molecular assemblies and/or through transitory contacts. Most of the time protein partners of the assemblies are composed of one or several domains which exhibit different biochemical functions. Thus the study of cellular process requires the identification of different functional units and their integration in an interaction network; such complexes are referred to as integrated systems. In order to exploit with optimum efficiency the increased release of data, automated bioinformatics strategies are needed to identify, reconstruct and model such systems. For that purpose, we have developed a knowledge warehouse dedicated to the representation and acquisition of bacterial integrated systems involved in the exchange of the bacterial cell with its environment. RESULTS: ISYMOD is a knowledge warehouse that consistently integrates in the same environment the data and the methods used for their acquisition. This is achieved through the construction of (1) a domain knowledge base (DKB) devoted to the storage of the knowledge about the systems, their functional specificities, their partners and how they are related and (2) a methodological knowledge base (MKB) which depicts the task layout used to identify and reconstruct functional integrated systems. Instantiation of the DKB is obtained by solving the tasks of the MKB, whereas some tasks need instances of the DKB to be solved. AROM, an object-based knowledge representation system, has been used to design the DKB, and its task manager, AROMTasks, for developing the MKB. In this study two integrated systems, ABC transporters and two component systems, both involved in adaptation processes of a bacterial cell to its biotope, have been used to evaluate the feasibility of the approach. 相似文献

Media supplements have been investigated for their influence on the viability of primary cell cultures from the heart ofCrassostrea gigas oysters. Soluble factors of vertebrate origin were tested, belonging to five families of supplements that had proven to increase the viability of insect and mammal cell cultures. Using two-level complete factorial assays, factors and mutual interactions were screened within each family with a MTT reduction assay. Results pointed out the positive influence of hormones, growth factor, antioxidants and lipids on the mitochondrial metabolism of oyter's heart cells. Consequently, a new concentrated complex supplement was developed. At 10% (v/v) final concentration in modified Leibovitz L-15 medium, it increases by 30% the cellular viability of one-week old cultures as compared with non-supplemented medium, a similar improvement as the one obtained with 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum. Combined with fetal calf serum, this new supplement doubles the cellular viability of one-week old cultures and allows networks of cardiomuscular cells to be maintained functional over three monthsin vitro.Abbreviations MTT-3
