Cytogenetic prenatal diagnosis (PND) is under national health program in most developed countries, while it concerns a small part of population at risk in developing countries. Finance is common reason of absence of PND development, but socio-cultural believes play an important role in Arab Muslim countries. In this paper we report results of 3110 fetal karyotypes carried out in a Tunisian population, by cultured amniocytes analysis. It is the largest report in a Muslim Arab country in our Knowledge. Abnormal karyotypes rate was 4.18% classified in two groups: bad prognosis (3.05%) and good prognosis (1.13%). Common amniocentesis indication was maternal age. The highest predictive value was observed in balanced karyotype and fetal ultrasound findings indications. Maternal serum markers were not commonly used for trisomy 21 screening. Pregnancy termination that is permitted by legal and religious authorities was accepted by 94,74% parents. Information about PND outcomes was given by genetic counselling prior to fetal sampling, pregnancy interruption was discussed with parents at cytogenetic result announcement. The authors conclude that in order to prevent mental and physical handicap related to cytogenetic disorders we have to promote PND by education for population, genetic counselling and fetal ultrasound screening; all three methods available in Tunisia. 相似文献

The extracellular fructosyltransferase (FTase) of a novel strain of Bacillus licheniformis capable of producing fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and a polysaccharide type levan was obtained and partially purified. The purification was achieved by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE cellulose and gel filtration chromatographies. The enzyme was partially purified as determined by SDS-PAGE, and the specific activity reached was 67.5, representing a purification factor of 177 and yield of 40%. Levan was isolated from the cultures of B. licheniformis. The levan was composed mainly of fructose residues when analyzed by TLC after acid hydrolysis and NMR analysis. In a previous study, the levan produced exhibited a hypoglycemiant activity. The present paper deals with the study of the antitumor and anti-cytotoxic effect of levan produced by B. licheniformis strain. In the in vitro antitumor activity test of levan against some tumor cell lines, relatively the significantly high activity was observed against the HepG(2). 相似文献

A genomic bank from Talaromyces thermophilus fungus was constructed and screened using a previously isolated fragment lipase gene as probe. From several clones isolated, the nucleotide sequence of the lipase gene (TTL gene) was completed and sequenced. The TTL coding gene consists of an open reading frame (ORF) of 1083 bp encoding a protein of 269 Aa with an estimated molecular mass of 30 kDa. The TTL belongs to the same gene family as Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL, Lipolase®), a well known lipase with multiple applications. The promoter sequence of the TTL gene showed the conservation of known consensus sequences PacC, CreA, Hap2-3-4 and the existence of a particular sequence like the binding sites of Oleate Response Element (ORE) and Fatty acids Responsis Element (FARE) which are similar to that already found to be specific of lipolytic genes in Candida and Fusarium, respectively. Northern blot analysis showed that the TTL expression was much higher on wheat bran than on olive oil as sole carbon source. Compared to the Lipolase®, this enzyme was found to be more efficient for the hydrolysis and the synthesis of esters; and its synthetic efficiency even reached 91.6% from Waste Cooking Oil triglycerides. 相似文献

A novel strain of Rhizopus oryzae WPG secretes a noninduced lipase (ROLw) in the culture medium; purified ROLw is a protein of 29 kDa, the 45 N-terminal amino acid residues were sequenced, this sequence is very homologous to Rhizopus delemar lipase (RDL), Rhizopus niveus lipase (RNL) and R. oryzae lipase (ROL29) sequences; the cloning and sequencing of the part of the gene encoding the mature ROLw, shows two nucleotides differences with RDL, RNL and ROL29 sequences corresponding to the change of the residues 134 and 200; ROLw does not present the interfacial activation phenomenon when using tripropionin or vinyl propionate as substrates; the lipase activity is maximal at pH 8 and at 37 degrees C, specific activities of 3500 or 900 U mg(-1) were measured at 37 degrees C and at pH 8, using olive oil emulsion or tributyrin as substrates, respectively; ROLw is unable to hydrolyse triacylglycerols in the presence of high concentration of bile salts; it is a serine enzyme as it is inhibited by tetrahydrolipstatin and was stable between pH 5 and pH 8. 相似文献

The sequence corresponding to the mature lipase of Rhizopus oryzae WPG (ROLw) was subcloned in the pPIC9K expression vector, with a strong AOX1 promoter, to construct a recombinant lipase protein containing six histidine residues at the N-terminal. The His-tagged lipase
was expressed in Pichia Pastoris X33 and purified to homogeneity by a simple, one-step purification protocol using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (Ni-NTA
resin). High level expression of the lipase by Pichia Pastoris X33 cells harbouring the lipase gene containing expression vector was observed upon induction with 2.5 g/l methanol at 28°C;
the specific activity of the purified His6-ROLw was 1,500 or 760 U/mg using olive oil emulsion or tributyrin as substrates, respectively. To check the importance of
Asn 134 His substitution in the affinity and substrate selectivity of ROLw, the mutant His6-ROLw-N134H was overexpressed in Pichia Pastoris X33 and purified with the same nickel metal affinity column. The specific activity of the purified His-tagged ROLw-N134H
was 5,900 and 35 U/mg using olive oil emulsion or tributyrin as substrate. A comparative study of the wild type (His6-ROLw) and the mutant (His6-ROLw-N134H) proteins was carried out. A 3D structure model of ROLw was built using the RNL structure as template. We have
concluded that a slight increase in the exposed hydrophilic residues on the surface of ROLw as compared to RNL (ROLwN134H)
could be responsible for a higher selectivity of ROlw for long and short chain triacylglycerols at the lipid/water interface
and then explaining the importance of Asn 134 for the chain length specificity of ROLw. This property is quite rare among
Rhizopus lipases and gives this new lipase great potential for use in the field of biocatalysis. 相似文献

Microbial lipids have drawn increasing attention in recent years as promising raw materials for biodiesel and added-value compounds production. To this end, new oleaginous yeast, Candida viswanathii Y-E4 was isolated, characterized and used for single cell oil (SCO) production. Physiologic and nutritional parameters optimization was carried out for improved biomass and lipid production. Y-E4 strain was able to use a wide range of substrates, especially C5 and C6 sugars as well as glycerol and hydrophobic substrates. The fatty acid profile analysis showed that oleic acid was the main component produced using different substrates. Batch and fed-bath fermentation were conducted using glucose as carbon source. Lipid production rate is twice higher in fed-batch culture providing a lipid content of 50 % (w/w). To minimize the SCO production cost, C. viswanathii Y-E4 was evaluated for its capacity to use different agro-industrial by-products for microbial oil production and changes in the fatty acid profile were monitored. 相似文献

Seed germination recovery aptitude is an adaptive trait of overriding significance for the successful establishment and dispersal of extremophile plants in their native ecosystems. Cakile maritima is an annual halophyte frequent on Mediterranean coasts, which produces transiently dormant seeds under high salinity, that germinate fast when soil salinity is lowered by rainfall. Here, we report ecophysiological and proteomic data about (1) the effect of high salt (200 mM NaCl) on the early developmental stages (germination and seedling) and (2) the seed germination recovery capacity of this species. Upon salt exposure, seed germination was severely inhibited and delayed and seedling length was restricted. Interestingly, non‐germinated seeds remained viable, showing high germination percentage and faster germination than the control seeds after their transfer onto distilled water. The plant phenotypic plasticity during germination was better highlighted by the proteomic data. Salt exposure triggered (1) a marked slower degradation of seed storage reserves and (2) a significant lower abundance of proteins involved in several biological processes (primary metabolism, energy, stress‐response, folding and stability). Yet, these proteins showed strong increased abundance early after stress release, thereby sustaining the faster seed storage proteins mobilization under recovery conditions compared to the control. Overall, as part of the plant survival strategy, C. maritima seems to avoid germination and establishment under high salinity. However, this harsh condition may have a priming‐like effect, boosting seed germination and vigor under post‐stress conditions, sustained by active metabolic machinery. 相似文献

Fungal β-glucosidases were extensively studied regarding their various potential biotechnology applications. Here, we report the selection of Fusarium solani strain producing high yield of β-glucosidase activity. The effect of some factors on β-glucosidase production was studied including: Initial pH, medium composition, concentration of carbon and nitrogen sources, and particle size of raw substrates. The optimal enzyme production was obtained with 4?units of pH. The highest β-glucosidase activity was produced on 4% wheat bran (WB) as raw carbon sources, reaching 5?U/mL. A positive correlation between WB particle size and the β-glucosidase production level was settled. The last one was enhanced to 13.60?U/mL in the presence of 0.5% (w/v) of ammonium sulfate. Interestingly, the activated charcoal was used as an inexpensive reagent enabling a rapid and efficient purification prior step that improved the enzyme-specific activity. Eventually, F. solani β-glucosidase acts efficiently during the bioconversion process of oleuropein. Indeed, 82.5% of oleuropein was deglycosylated after 1?hr at 40°C. Altogether, our data showed that the β-glucosidase of F. solani has a potential application to convert oleuropein to ameliorate food quality. 相似文献

The interaction of static magnetic fields (SMFs) with living organisms is a rapidly growing field of investigation. The magnetic fields (MFs) effect observed with radical pair recombination is one of the well-known mechanisms by which MFs interact with biological systems. SMF influenced cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms by affecting antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT). However, there were insufficient reports about the effects of SMF on macro and trace elements in serum, and the results were contradictory until now. In the current study, 12 rats were divided into two groups, namely as control and exposure group (128 mT and 1 h/day during five consecutive days). The macro and trace element concentrations in serum were examined. No significant difference was observed in the sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and selenium (Se) levels in rat compared to control. By contrast, exposure to SMF showed an increase in the zinc (Zn) level and a decrease in iron (Fe) concentration. Under our experimental conditions, SMF exposure cannot affect the plasma levels of macroelements, while it can disrupt Zn and Fe concentrations in rat. 相似文献
