Summary A DNA fragment conferring resistance to zinc and cadmium ions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated from a library of yeast genomic DNA. Its nucleotide sequence revealed the presence of a single open reading frame (ORF; 1326 bp) having the potential to encode a protein of 442 amino acid residues (molecular mass of 48.3 kDa). A frameshift mutation introduced within the ORF abolished resistance to heavy metal ions, indicating the ORF is required for resistance. Therefore, we termed it the ZRC1 (zinc resistance conferring) gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of the gene product predicts a rather hydrophobic protein with six possible membrane-spanning regions. While multiple copies of the ZRC1 gene enable yeast cells to grow in the presence of 40 mM Zn2+, a level at which wild-type cells cannot survive, the disruption of the chromosomal ZRC1 locus, though not a lethal event, makes cells more sensitive to zinc ions than are wild-type cells. 相似文献

Progesterone, 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, cortisone and cortisol, which are C(21)-steroids with a ketone group at the 20-position, potently inhibited the activity of enzyme acetohexamide reductase (AHR) responsible for the reductive metabolism of acetohexamide in kidney microsomes of male rats. Furthermore, progesterone was a competitive inhibitor of AHR. In the case of progesterone usage as the substrate, 20beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20beta-HSD) activity was much higher than 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20alpha-HSD) activity in kidney microsomes of male rats. These results indicate that AHR present in kidney microsomes of male rats, functions as 20beta-HSD with carbonyl reductase-like activity. In male rats, both testectomy and hypophysectomy decreased the renal microsomal 20beta-HSD activity, but the decreased enzyme activities were increased by the treatment with testosterone propionate (TP). We propose the possibility that TP treatment regulates the renal microsomal 20beta-HSD activity by acting directly on the kidney of male rats. This is supported from the fact that when TP was given to ovariectomized and hypophysectomized female rats, the male-specific 20beta-HSD activity was detected in their kidney microsomes. 相似文献

Some phosphorus derivatives of oxadiazoles were synthesized to seek insecticidal lead compounds. The l,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ones were converted via the N-methylol derivatives to the corresponding N-chloromethyl derivatives. From these derivatives a variety of O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioates 4, O,O-dimethyl phosphorothioates 5 and O,O-di-i-propyl phosphorothioates 6 were prepared.These phosphorus derivatives were examined for insecticidal activity towards houseflies and for anti-acetylcholinesterase (anti-AChE) activity using the housefly heads as an enzyme source. Most of the compounds 4 and 5 showed contact toxicity as high as the analogous methidathion insecticides, which appeared to correlate with the strong anti-AChE activity. On the other hand, all the compounds 6 showed a high activity in AChE inhibition but only a poor insecticidal activity. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: We present a case of a 62-year-old man who underwent total hip arthroplasty for treatment of pathologic femoral neck fracture associated with adefovir dipivoxil-induced osteomalacia. He had a 13-month history of bone pain involving his shoulders, hips, and knee. He received adefovir dipivoxil for treatment of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus infection for 5 years before the occurrence of femoral neck fracture. Orthopedic surgeons should be aware of osteomalacia and pathological hip fracture caused by drug-induced renal dysfunction, which results in Fanconi's syndrome.Virtual slidesThe virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/1600344696739249. 相似文献

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant congenital disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification in muscle tissues. Constitutively activated mutants of a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor, ALK2, have been identified in patients with FOP. Recently, a novel ALK2 mutation, L196P, was found in the most benign case of FOP reported thus far. In the present study, we examined the biological activities of ALK2(L196P) in vitro. Over-expression of ALK2(L196P) induced BMP-specific activities, including the suppression of myogenesis, the induction of alkaline phosphatase activity, increased BMP-specific luciferase reporter activity, and increased phosphorylation of Smad1/5 but not Erk1/2 or p38. The activities of ALK2(L196P) were higher than those of ALK2(G356D), another mutant ALK2 allele found in patients with FOP and were equivalent to those of ALK2(R206H), a typical mutation found in patients with FOP. ALK2(L196P) was equally or more resistant to inhibitors in comparison to ALK2(R206H). These findings suggest that ALK2(L196P) is an activated BMP receptor equivalent to ALK2(R206H) and that ALK2(L196P) activity may be suppressed in vivo by a novel molecular mechanism in patients with this mutation. 相似文献

Mutations in genes for any of the six subunits of NADPH oxidase cause chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), but almost 2/3 of CGD cases are caused by mutations in the X-linked CYBB gene, also known as NAD (P) H oxidase 2. Approximately 260 patients with CGD have been reported in Japan, of whom 92 were shown to have mutations of the CYBB gene and 16 to have chromosomal deletions. However, there has been very little detailed analysis of the range of the deletion or close understanding of the disease based on this. We therefore analyzed genomic rearrangements in X-linked CGD using array comparative genomic hybridization analysis, revealing the extent and the types of the deletion genes. The subjects were five Japanese X-linked CGD patients estimated to have large base deletions of 1 kb or more in the CYBB gene (four male patients, one female patient) and the mothers of four of those patients. The five Japanese patients were found to range from a patient exhibiting deletions only of the CYBB gene to a female patient exhibiting an extensive DNA deletion and the DMD and CGD phenotype manifested. Of the other three patients, two exhibited CYBB, XK, and DYNLT3 gene deletions. The remaining patient exhibited both a deletion encompassing DNA subsequent to the CYBB region following intron 2 and the DYNLT3 gene and a complex copy number variation involving the insertion of an inverted duplication of a region from the centromere side of DYNLT3 into the deleted region. 相似文献

Here we report the structure and bioactivity of 25 kDa glycoprotein (chondromodulin-I) as a tissue-specific functional matrix component identified and cloned for the first time. Chondromodulin-I purified from fetal bovine cartilage markedly stimulated DNA synthesis of cultured growth-plate chondrocytes in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF). Bovine chondromodulin-I cDNA revealed that the mature protein consists of 121 amino acids with three possible glycosylation sites and is coded as the C-terminal part of a larger precursor. On northern blot analysis, expression of chondromodulin-I mRNA was observed only in cartilage. 相似文献

X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) is a rare fatal disease that is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the gammac chain. In this study, 27 unrelated Japanese patients with X-SCID were examined in terms of their genetic mutations and surface expression of the gammac chain. Among 25 patients examined, excluding two patients with large deletions, 23 different mutations were identified in the IL2RG gene, including 10 novel mutations. One patient bearing an extracellular mutation and all three of the patients bearing intracellular mutations after exon 7 expressed the gammac chain on the cell surface. Overall, 84% of patients lacked surface expression of the gammac chain leading to a diagnosis of X-SCID. 相似文献

Further characterizations of 20beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20beta-HSD) present in liver microsomes of male rats were examined. A significant relationship was observed between 20beta-HSD and acetohexamide reductase (AHR) activities in liver microsomes of male rats. The hepatic microsomal 20beta-HSD and AHR preferentially required NADPH as a cofactor. When NADPH was replaced by NADH, NADP or NAD at the same concentration, these reductase activities were little detected. The hepatic microsomal 20beta-HSD and AHR activities in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were much lower than those in the corresponding controls. The hepatic microsomal 20beta-HSD and AHR activities appeared as one main peak, respectively, on DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography, and the peak of 20beta-HSD activity was in good agreement with that of AHR activity. Based on these results, we conclude that 20beta-HSD present in liver microsomes of male rats functions as AHR, and exhibits a carbonyl reductase-like activity. 相似文献
