A melanin biosynthetic gene, Sal1, in the southern corn leaf blight fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, was identified by degenerate and inverse PCR. Structural analysis revealed that the open reading frame is 555 bp in length, interrupted by one intron. Melanin deficiency of the sal1 mutant strain, which accumulates the intermediate scytalone, was successfully complemented by introducing the gene fragment. These results suggest that Sal1 is a scytalone dehydratase gene of C. heterostrophus. 相似文献

Background
We aimed to study the effects of intra-articular injection of jellyfish mucin (qniumucin) on articular cartilage degeneration in a model of osteoarthritis (OA) created in rabbit knees by resection of the anterior cruciate ligament. Qniumucin was extracted from Aurelia aurita (moon jellyfish) and Stomolophus nomurai (Nomura's jellyfish) and purified by ion exchange chromatography. The OA model used 36 knees in 18 Japanese white rabbits. Purified qniumucin extracts from S. nomurai or A. aurita were used at 1 mg/ml. Rabbits were divided into four groups: a control (C) group injected with saline; a hyaluronic acid (HA)-only group (H group); two qniumucin-only groups (M groups); and two qniumucin + HA groups (MH groups). One milligram of each solution was injected intra-articularly once a week for 5 consecutive weeks, starting from 4 weeks after surgery. Ten weeks after surgery, the articular cartilage was evaluated macroscopically and histologically. 相似文献63.

To improve the poor pharmacokinetic characteristics of VLA-4 inhibitors, novel piperazinylphenylalanine derivatives were designed. This structure is expected to improve physicochemical properties by increasing overall basicity. By changing components at the 4-position of piperazine and the terminal group of the amido bond, 12t was found to be the most potent of this series of compounds. In addition, dichlorobenzoyl derivative 12aa exhibited better oral availability and showed efficacy in an in vivo model after oral administration. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis thaliana LEC1 gene regulates embryo morphology and seed maturation. For a better understanding of its function, we isolated a carrot (Daucus carota L. cv. US-Harumakigosun) counterpart of this gene, C-LEC1, from a cDNA library of carrot somatic embryos, since carrot is a better model plant for preparing large quantities of somatic embryos at the same developmental stage. The predicted amino acid sequence of C-LEC1 is similar to that of LEC1 and contains regions that are conserved in the heme-activated protein 3 (HAP3) subunit of plants, animals and microorganisms. C-LEC1 expression was detected in embryogenic cells, somatic embryos, and developing seeds. In situ hybridization analysis revealed C-LEC1 expression in the peripheral region of the embryos but not in the endosperm. Expression of C-LEC1 driven by Arabidopsis LEC1 promoter was able to complement the defects of the Arabidopsis lec1-1 mutant. These results suggest that C-LEC1 is a functional homolog of Arabidopsis LEC1, an important regulator of zygotic and somatic embryo development. 相似文献

Carrot Argonaute1 (C-Ago1) was isolated from a subtractive cDNA library to obtain somatic embryogenesis related genes. C-Ago1 has three conserved domains, which are found in all other Argonautes. C-Ago1 has specific expression during somatic embryogenesis, which indicates that microRNA gene expression controlling system is required for somatic embryogenesis. 相似文献

A basidiomycetous anamorphic yeast-like fungus, isolated from new bamboo shoots collected in Japan, was assigned to Meira argovae by comparison of conidial morphology, physiological characteristics, rDNA sequences, and DNA-DNA relatedness with the ex-type
strains of Meira species. This is the first record of the finding of M. argovae from other than mite cadavers and in regions other than Israel. Phylogenetic analysis based on the D1-D2 domain demonstrated
that Meira species and teleomorphic Dicellomyces species, which include a bamboo leaf parasite, D. gloeosporus, formed sister clades. 相似文献

Capsule gene CAP64 is involved in the regulation of vacuole acidification in Cryptococcus neoformans
A basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans is stained by DBB. We found that the edges of DBB stained cells were specifically detected by using fluorescence microscopy. We also found that the only the edges of cap64Δ strain cells was not fluorescent among several acapsular mutants, although whose colonies turned to red or light pink by DBB staining. When the vacuoles were stained by FM4-64, those of the cap64Δ cells showed aberrant morphology. In addition, quinacrine treatment showed that the cap64Δ strain could not accumulate quinacrine in the vacuole. These data suggest that Cap64 was not only involved in capsule formation, but also in intracellular pH regulation. 相似文献

The selectivity and the binding affinity of previously reported carborane-containing ligands 2 and 3 toward ERβ remains to be optimized. To improve their biological profiles, a series of iodinated carboranyl phenol derivatives (4–6) were designed and synthesized as prospective ERβ-selective ligands with high affinity. Several iodinated carboranyl phenols showed high relative binding affinity (RBA) values for both ERs, and especially for ERβ, due to suitable hydrophobic interactions of the iodine atoms with the hydrophobic amino acid residues of the ERβ ligand-binding domains. Among these derivatives, 9,10-diiodo-m-carborane 5f exhibited a more than 100% increase of the RBA values toward ERβ, a 14-fold increased selectivity for ERβ over ERα, and ER-agonistic activity in MCF-7 cell proliferation assays. 相似文献

Brn1, a reductase gene involved in the melanin biosynthetic pathway, was adopted for species delimitation among members in the
“geniculata” group of Curvularia species and proved to be useful for this purpose. Phylogenetic trees of these fungal members were constructed from nucleotide
sequences of this region. The so-called geniculata group of Curvularia was separated into several clusters. The conidial morphology of the members in each cluster is closely similar but clearly
different among discrete clusters. The phylogenetic groups almost concurred with the morphological grouping. Thus, the synonymous
treatment of Curvularia affinis, C. fallax, and C. senegalensis to C. geniculata in a previous study was supported. The isolates with warping hilum conidia were clearly different from C. geniculata and separated into two clusters. C. geniculata ATCC 6671 made an independent cluster situated near these clusters. The protuberant hilum species were located separately
in the phylogenetic trees. For sound taxonomic treatment of these isolates, we should accumulate more information and retain
our species determination for them.

An anticoagulant was isolated from a marine green alga, Codium cylindricum. The anticoagulant was composed mainly of galactose with a small amount of glucose, and was highly sulfated (13.1% as SO
Na). The anticoagulant properties of the purified anticoagulant were compared with that of heparin by assays of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time (TT) using normal human plasma. The anticoagulant showed similar activities with heparin, however, weaker than heparin. On the other hand, the anticoagulant did not affect PT even at the concentration at which APTT and TT were strongly prolonged. The anticoagulant did not potentiate antithrombin III (AT III) and heparin cofactor II (HC II), thus the anticoagulant mechanism would be different from that of other anticoagulants isolated so far from the genus Codium. 相似文献
