Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are involved in many physiological processes, including the regulation of vascular tone, sodium excretion, pressure-volume homeostasis, inflammatory responses, and cellular growth. The two main receptors of NP, membrane-bound guanylyl cyclases A and B (GC-A and GC-B), mediate the effects of NPs via the generation of cGMP. NP-stimulated generation of cGMP can be modulated by intracellular processes, whose exact nature remains to be elucidated. Thus, serum and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), by unknown pathways, have been shown to inhibit the NP-induced generation of cGMP. Here we report that the nonreceptor-tyrosine-kinase Csk is an essential component of the intracellular modulation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-stimulated activation of GC-A. The genetic deletion of Csk (Csk(-)(/)(-)) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts blocked the inhibitory effect of both serum and LPA on the ANP-stimulated generation of cGMP. Moreover, using a chemical rescue approach, we also demonstrate that the catalytic activity of Csk is required for its modulatory function. Our data demonstrate that Csk is involved in the control of cGMP levels and that membrane-bound guanylyl cyclases can be critically modulated by other receptor-initiated intracellular signaling pathways. 相似文献

DNA replication is sensitive to damage in the template. To bypass lesions and complete replication, cells activate recombination‐mediated (error‐free) and translesion synthesis‐mediated (error‐prone) DNA damage tolerance pathways. Crucial for error‐free DNA damage tolerance is template switching, which depends on the formation and resolution of damage‐bypass intermediates consisting of sister chromatid junctions. Here we show that a chromatin architectural pathway involving the high mobility group box protein Hmo1 channels replication‐associated lesions into the error‐free DNA damage tolerance pathway mediated by Rad5 and PCNA polyubiquitylation, while preventing mutagenic bypass and toxic recombination. In the process of template switching, Hmo1 also promotes sister chromatid junction formation predominantly during replication. Its C‐terminal tail, implicated in chromatin bending, facilitates the formation of catenations/hemicatenations and mediates the roles of Hmo1 in DNA damage tolerance pathway choice and sister chromatid junction formation. Together, the results suggest that replication‐associated topological changes involving the molecular DNA bender, Hmo1, set the stage for dedicated repair reactions that limit errors during replication and impact on genome stability. 相似文献

A number of natural phytochemicals have anti‐photoaging properties that appear to be mediated through the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP‐1) expression, but their direct target molecule(s) and mechanism(s) remain unclear. We investigated the effect of naringenin, a major flavonoid found in citrus, on UVB‐induced MMP‐1 expression and identified its direct target. The HaCaT human skin keratinocyte cell line and 3‐dimensional (3‐D) human skin equivalent cultures were treated or not treated with naringenin for 1 hr before exposure to UVB. The mechanism and target(s) of naringenin were analysed by kinase assay and multiplex molecular assays. Dorsal skins of hairless mice were exposed to UVB 3 times per week, with a dose of irradiation that was increased weekly by 1 minimal erythema dose (MED; 45 mJ/cm2) to 4 MED over 15 weeks. Wrinkle formation, water loss and water content were then assessed. Naringenin suppressed UVB‐induced MMP‐1 expression and AP‐1 activity, and strongly suppressed UVB‐induced phosphorylation of Fos‐related antigen (FRA)‐1 at Ser265. Importantly, UVB irradiation‐induced FRA1 protein stability was reduced by treatment with naringenin, as well as with a mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor. Naringenin significantly suppressed UVB‐induced extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) activity and subsequently attenuated UVB‐induced phosphorylation of p90RSK by competitively binding with ATP. Constitutively active MEK (CA‐MEK) increased FRA1 phosphorylation and expression and also induced MMP‐1 expression, whereas dominant‐negative ERK2 (DN‐ERK2) had opposite effects. U0126, a MEK inhibitor, also decreased FRA1 phosphorylation and expression as well as MMP‐1 expression. The photoaging data obtained from mice clearly demonstrated that naringenin significantly inhibited UVB‐induced wrinkle formation, trans‐epidermal water loss and MMP‐13 expression. Naringenin exerts potent anti‐photoaging effects by suppressing ERK2 activity and decreasing FRA1 stability, followed by down‐regulation of AP‐1 transactivation and MMP‐1 expression. 相似文献

Summary This study describes a protocol for in vitro propagation of Chonemorpha grandiflora (Roth) S.M. & M.R. Almeida (Apocynaceae) through axillary bud proliferation and rooting. For shoot induction, the combination of 13.3 μM
N
6-benzyladenine (BA) and 2.46 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was better than other growth regulators. Liquid medium was
superior over solid medium for root formation and growth. IBA was more effective than other auxins for root induction. Addition
of silver nitrate in the presence of IBA significantly increased the number, length, and branching of roots. Shoot tips encapsulated
in medium containing 0.49 μM IBA and 11.7 μM silver nitrate exhibited 95% conversion to plantlets. This protocol enables the production of 250 plantlets from a single
nodal explant within 7 mo. Plantlets showed 90% survival after acclimatization in soil and were morphologically similar to
the source plant under field conditions. 相似文献

Ce‐doped (1 × 10?5 to 3.0 mol%) SrBPO5 phosphors were synthesized using a conventional solid‐state reaction route at 1273 K in an air atmosphere. Phase and morphology of the samples were studied from powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs, respectively. The band gap energies of the pure and Ce‐doped SrBPO5 phosphors were calculated from the recorded diffuse reflectance spectra. Photoluminescence (PL) and Ce3+ lifetime were recorded at 300 and 77 K. Photoluminescence lifetime measurements revealed two‐lifetime values for Ce3+ at both 300 K (17 and 36 nsec) and 77 K (12 and 30 nsec), suggesting the presence of two different environments around Ce3+. Time‐resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES) studies confirmed the presence of Ce3+ in two different environments. In addition, SrBPO5:Ce exhibited intense UV emission, signifying its possible use as an efficient sensitizer for solid‐state lighting applications. The effect of γ‐irradiation on PL was also determined. Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) glow curves of the γ‐irradiated phosphor, along with trap parameters, dose–response, and the possible TSL mechanism were also investigated. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy was carried out to probe defects present in undoped and Ce‐doped SrBPO5. 相似文献
