Many structural, signaling, and adhesion molecules contain tandemly
repeated amino acid motifs. The alpha-actinin/spectrin/dystrophin
superfamily of F-actin-crosslinking proteins contains an array of triple
alpha-helical motifs (spectrin repeats). We present here the complete
sequence of the novel beta-spectrin isoform beta(Heavy)- spectrin (beta H).
The sequence of beta H supports the origin of alpha- and beta-spectrins
from a common ancestor, and we present a novel model for the origin of the
spectrins from a homodimeric actin-crosslinking precursor. The pattern of
similarity between the spectrin repeat units indicates that they have
evolved by a series of nested, nonuniform duplications. Furthermore, the
spectrins and dystrophins clearly have common ancestry, yet the repeat unit
is of a different length in each family. Together, these observations
suggest a dynamic period of increase in repeat number accompanied by
homogenization within each array by concerted evolution. However, today,
there is greater similarity of homologous repeats between species than
there is across repeats within species, suggesting that concerted evolution
ceased some time before the arthropod/vertebrate split. We propose a
two-phase model for the evolution of the spectrin repeat arrays in which an
initial phase of concerted evolution is subsequently retarded as each new
protein becomes constrained to a specific length and the repeats diverge at
the DNA level. This evolutionary model has general applicability to the
origins of the many other proteins that have tandemly repeated motifs.

We investigated operant behavior in a novel species, the dwarf hamster (Phodopus campbelli). In two experiments, hamsters were trained to lever-press for food reinforcement. In Experiment 1, rate of reinforcement was manipulated across conditions using four variable-interval schedules of reinforcement (delivering one to eight reinforcers per min). As predicted, within-session decreases in responding were steepest on the richest schedule. In Experiment 2, lever-pressing was reinforced by either a constant or a variety of flavored food pellets. Within-session decreases in responding were steeper when the reinforcer flavor remained constant than when it was varied within the session. In both experiments, subjects hoarded most reinforcers in their cheek pouches rather than consuming them in the operant chambers. These results are incompatible with post-ingestive satiety variables as explanations for within-session decreases in operant responding and suggest that habituation to repeatedly presented reinforcers best accounts for subjects’ response patterns. Additionally, a mathematical model that describes behavior undergoing habituation also described the present results, thus strengthening the conclusion that habituation mediates the reinforcing efficacy of food. 相似文献

Introduction
Laser Doppler imaging (LDI) is a relatively new method for assessing the functional aspect of superficial skin blood flow in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and Raynaud's phenomenon. The present study investigated the dynamic behavior of digital skin microvascular blood flow before and after cold stimulus (CS) in SSc patients and in healthy controls by means of a comprehensive approach of the functional (LDI), morphological (nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC)), and biochemical (fingertip lacticemy (FTL)) microcirculation components. 相似文献15.
Mitochondrial DNA and bindin gene sequence evolution among allopatric species of the sea urchin genus Arbacia 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Sea urchins of the genus Arbacia (order Stirodonta) have discontinuous
allopatric distributions ranging over thousands of kilometers.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences were used to reconstruct phylogenetic
relationships of four Arbacia species and their geographic populations.
There is little evidence of genetic structuring of populations within
species, except in two cases at range extremes. The mtDNA sequence
differentiation between species suggests that divergence occurred about 4-9
MYA. Gene sequences encoding the sperm protein bindin and its intron were
obtained and compared with the mtDNA phylogeny. Sea urchins among the
well-studied echinoid order Camarodonta, with degrees of mtDNA divergence
similar to those of Arbacia species, are known to have remarkable variation
in bindin. However, in Arbacia, little variation in deduced amino acid
sequences of bindin was found, indicating that purifying selection acts on
the protein. In contrast, bindin intron sequences showed much
differentiation, including numerous insertion/deletions. Fertilization
experiments performed between a divergent pair of Arbacia species from the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans revealed no evidence of blocks to gamete
recognition. In Arbacia, fertilization specificities may have evolved
relatively slowly as a result of extensive gene flow within species,
greater functional constraint on the bindin polypeptide, or reduced
selective pressure for species recognition in singly occurring species.

We describe a novel immobilization technique to investigate interactions
between immobilized gangliosides (GD3, GM1, and GM2) and their respective
antibodies, antibody fragments, or binding partners using an optical
biosensor. Immobilization was performed by direct injection onto a
carboxymethyldextran sensor chip and did not require derivatization of the
sensor surface or the ganglioside. The ganglioside appeared to bind to the
sensor surface by hydrophobic interaction, leaving the carbohydrate epitope
available for antibody or, in the case of GM1, cholera toxin binding. The
carboxyl group of the dextran chains on the sensor surface did not appear
to be involved in the immobilization as evidenced by equivalent levels of
immobilization following conversion of the carboxyl groups into acyl amino
esters, but rather the dextran layer provided a hydrophilic coverage of the
sensor chip which was essential to prevent nonspecific binding. This
technique gave better reactivity and specificity for anti- ganglioside
monoclonal antibodies (anti-GD3: KM871, KM641, R24; and anti-GM2: KM966)
than immobilization by hydrophobic interaction onto a gold sensor surface
or photoactivated cross-linking onto carboxymethydextran. This rapid
immobilization procedure has facilitated detailed kinetic analysis of
ganglioside/antibody interactions, with the surface remaining viable for a
large number of cycles (>125). Kinetic constants were determined from
the biosensor data using linear regression, nonlinear least squares and
equilibrium analysis. The values of kd, ka, and KAobtained by nonlinear
analysis (KAKM871 = 1.05, KM641 = 1.66, R24 = 0.14, and KM966 = 0.65 x
10(7) M- 1) were essentially independent of concentration and showed good
agreement with data obtained by other analytical methods.

By immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization at the electron microscopy level, and by the PCR technique, we have shown that HIV-1 binds and enters normal sperm; that viral particles, their antigens, and nucleic acid are present in sperm from HIV-1 infected men; and that such sperm can transfer HIV-1 like particles to normal human oocytes. We also present evidence that a galactosylceramide-like compound is present on the sperm membrane and could function as an alternative receptor for HIV. 相似文献

In 1997–99 the occurrence ofFusarium spp. on winter wheat and the contamination with mycotoxins was investigated at three locations in the Rhineland, Germany. All cultivation methods investigated had an effect on the level ofFusarium infection, however, rainfall during flowering was the most important factor. The choice of cultivar and soil cultivation proved to be the most promising tools to reduce head scab severity and mycotoxin contamination. 相似文献

Stoats are significant predators of native fauna in New Zealand. They occur in many habitat types and consume a wide range of prey. The diet of stoats in the Tasman River, South Canterbury, was studied by analysis of scats and den contents. Analysis of 206 scats showed that stoats ate mainly lagomorphs, birds and invertebrates. Minor components included mice, lizards, fish and hedgehogs. Stoats ate more birds in spring than in autumn, and female stoats ate more invertebrates than did males. The contents of 219 dens collected in the same area at the same time provided further information. Birds and lagomorphs occurred at high frequency in dens, and other components were minor. Remains in dens were larger than in scats and allowed identification of many more prey items to species level. Den contents revealed a potentially substantial impact of stoats on threatened shorebirds locally; this impact was not detected by analysis of scats. 相似文献

HIV vaccine development has been hampered by the inability of conventional immunogens to elicit antibodies capable of neutralizing primary isolates of the virus. Recent studies using 'fusion-competent' immunogens that capture transitional intermediate structures of the functioning envelope protein suggest that this goal may now be achievable. 相似文献
