Summary Fragments of DNA molecules of Salmonella phage 22 which represent the molecular termini created by the terminase reaction have been cloned and sequenced. The terminase cleavage separates a headful-sized piece of DNA from the concatemeric precursor; by successful cloning strategy it was shown that the terminase produces blunt ends. The termini of 20 different phage DNA molecules fall into a region located between about 600 and 4000 bp from the pac signal and show a Gaussian distribution. The average terminal redundancy was calculated to be about 2230 by (=5.3%) and is therefore higher than was previously reported. A comparison of the nucleotides flanking the terminal bases of 20 different end clones does not support the suggestion that the terminase recognizes some specific sequence and/or structural information in determining the actual cleavage site. 相似文献

The current treatment approaches for esophageal cancer are associated with poor survival, and there are ongoing efforts to find new and more effective therapeutic strategies. There are several reports on the antitumoral effects of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs). We have assessed the possible survival benefit of LMWHs in esophageal malignancies. This was a randomized, single-blind, multicenter, Phase II clinical trial on nonmetastatic esophageal cancer candidate for neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Patients were randomly assigned to the chemoradiotherapy-only arm or chemoradiotherapy plus enoxaparin arm using 1:1 allocation. Radiotherapy was delivered in 1.8-Gy daily fractions to a dose of 50.4 Gy in both groups. Paclitaxel 50 mg/m2 and carboplatin (AUC 2) were administered weekly, concurrent with radiotherapy. In the intervention group, patients received enoxaparin (40 mg) and chemoradiation daily. 4–6 weeks after treatment, all patients underwent esophagectomy. After a median follow up of 7 months, estimated 1 year disease-free survival (DFS) in the intervention group was 78.9% and was 70% in the control groups ( p = 0.5). Toxicity from the experimental treatment was minimal, and there were no treatment-related deaths. A pathologically complete response in intervention and control group was 64.8% and 62.5%, respectively ( p = 0.9). There was a nonsignificant trend toward improved survival by the addition of enoxaparin to the concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimen. However, 1 y DFS of both groups were high as expected. A longer follow-up and a larger sample size are required. 相似文献

In this paper, we review the approaches developed in our laboratory to fabricate polymer-based microfluidic devices to suit a range of applications in bio- or chemical analysis. Thermoplastic materials such as polycarbonate (PC) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are used to fabricate microfluidic devices via hot embossing. To emboss microchannels, we use hard stamps fabricated in silicon or soft stamps molded on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). Hard stamps are fabricated on silicon wafers through photolithography and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE). Soft stamps are fabricated by casting PDMS prepolymer on silicon molds. To enclose the fluidic channels, direct fusion bonding was found to produce the highest bond strength with minimal structural deformation. One-step photolithographic methods have also been explored to produce via photochemical patterning microfluidic structures in photocurable materials. We use the photocurable capabilities of a PDMS copolymer, which incorporates a methacrylate crosslinker. Microfluidic channels are produced via one step-photopatterning processes by crosslinking the prepolymer mixture through a photomask. The smaller feature size attainable was 100 microm. Structures with higher spatial resolution are fabricated through a photoimprinting process whereby a mold is pressed against the precured mixture during UV crosslinking exposure. The application of the fabricated fluidic devices in electrophoretic ion analysis is also presented. 相似文献

Although, current medications for Parkinson’s disease can control and relief symptoms of the disease efficiently, they are unable to either prevent progression of the disease or maintain their controlling ability as a long-term medication. To find suitable adjuvant and/or alternative treatments, researchers have investigated antioxidative and anti-inflammatory approaches, since emerging evidence consider oxidative stress and neuroinflammation as leading causes of the development of Parkinson’s disease. Here, how oxidative stress and neuroinflammation take part in Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis was discussed based on featured studies in this context. Then, preclinical and clinical trial studies, which evaluated antioxidative and anti-inflammatory compounds’ ability to treat Parkinson’s disease, were reviewed. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum is able to utilize vanillate, the product of lignin degradation, as the sole carbon source. The vanillate utilization components are encoded by the vanABK operon. The vanA and vanB genes encode the subunits of vanillate O-demethylase, converting vanillate to protocatechuate, while VanK is the specific vanillate transporter. The vanABK operon is regulated by a PadR-type repressor, VanR. Heterologous gene expression and variations of the vanR open reading frame revealed that the functional VanR contains 192 residues (21 kDa) and forms a dimer, as analyzed by size exclusion chromatography. In vivo, ferulate, vanillin, and vanillate induced PvanABK in C. glutamicum, while only vanillate induced the activity of PvanABK in Escherichia coli lacking the ferulate catabolic system. Differential scanning fluorimetry verified that vanillate is the only effector of VanR. Interaction between the PvanABK DNA fragment and the VanR protein had an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 15.1 ± 1.7 nM. The VanR-DNA complex had a dissociation rate constant (Kd) of (267 ± 23) × 10−6 s−1, with a half-life of 43.5 ± 3.6 min. DNase I footprinting localized the VanR binding site at PvanABK, extending from +9 to +45 on the coding strand. Deletion of the nucleotides +18 to +27 inside the VanR binding site rendered PvanABK constitutive. Fusion of the T7 promoter and the wild-type VanR operator, as well as its shortened versions, indicated that the inverted repeat AACTAACTAA(N4)TTAGGTATTT is the specific VanR binding site. It is proposed that the VanR-DNA complex contains two VanR dimers at the VanR operator. 相似文献

The cambium dynamics and wood formation of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) was investigated during the 2008 growing season in the Nowshahr Hyrcanian forest, Iran (36°N, 51°E). Three study
sites were selected along an altitudinal gradient (650, 1,100 and 1,600 m a.s.l.), and cambial activity rates of cell formation
and cell maturation were studied on micro-cores collected in intervals of 10–20 days. The cambium reactivation of the low-altitude
(L) and mid-altitude (M) trees occurred contemporaneously in late March, and also the consecutive phases of cell differentiation
took place almost at the same time; however, the entry into cambial dormancy varied considerably from late August to mid-November.
Due to lower temperature, the upper-altitude (U) trees showed a 10-day delay in their cambium reactivation, an earlier entry
into cambium dormancy (mid-September) and a slower growth rate resulting in narrower tree rings. Despite these differences,
the daily increment rates of the trees at all sites reached maximum values coincidently in the early June. Since the photoperiod
is the only common external factor among different sites, it is concluded that the timing of the highest growth rate is controlled
by the photoperiod. 相似文献

Mechanisms of resistance to thiopurines, 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and 6-thioguanine (6-TG) were investigated in human leukemia cell lines. We developed two 6-MP- and 6-TG-resistant cell lines from the human T-lymphoblastic cell line (MOLT-4) by prolonged exposure to these drugs. The resistant cells were highly cross resistant to 6-MP and 6-TG, and exhibited marked reduction in cellular uptake of 6-MP (70% and 80%, respectively). No significant modification of the activities of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase, thiopurine methyltransferase or inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase was observed. Real-time PCR of concentrative nucleoside transporter 3 (CNT3) and equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 (ENT2) of resistant cells showed substantial reductions in expression of messenger RNAs. Small interfering RNA designed to silence the CNT3 and ENT2 genes down-regulated the expression of these genes in leukemia cells. These decreases were accompanied by reduction of transport of 6-MP (47% and 21%, respectively) as well as its cytocidal effect (30% and 21%, respectively). Taken together these results show that CNT3 and ENT2 play a key role in the transport of 6-MP and 6-TG by leukemia cells. From a clinical point of view determination of CNT3 and ENT2 levels in leukemia cells may be useful in predicting the efficacy of thiopurine treatment. 相似文献

Screening soil samples collected from a diverse range of slightly alkaline soil types, we have isolated 22 competent phosphate
solubilizing bacteria (PSB). Three isolates identified as Pantoea agglomerans strain P5, Microbacterium laevaniformans strain P7 and Pseudomonas putida strain P13 hydrolyzed inorganic and organic phosphate compounds effectively. Bacterial growth rates and phosphate solubilization
activities were measured quantitatively under various environmental conditions. In general, a close association was evident
between phosphate solubilizing ability and growth rate which is an indicator of active metabolism. All three PSB were able
to withstand temperature as high as 42°C, high concentration of NaCl upto 5% and a wide range of initial pH from 5 to 11 while
hydrolyzing phosphate compounds actively. Such criteria make these isolates superior candidates for biofertilizers that are
capable of utilizing both organic and mineral phosphate substrates to release absorbable phosphate ion for plants. 相似文献
