Background
The fatty acids of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria contain linearly concatenated cyclobutane moieties, so far unique to biology. These moieties are under high ring strain and are synthesised by a presently unknown biosynthetic pathway. 相似文献53.
Background
Analysis of heart rate variation (HRV) has become a popular noninvasive tool for assessing the activities of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). HRV analysis is based on the concept that fast fluctuations may specifically reflect changes of sympathetic and vagal activity. It shows that the structure generating the signal is not simply linear, but also involves nonlinear contributions. These signals are essentially non-stationary; may contain indicators of current disease, or even warnings about impending diseases. The indicators may be present at all times or may occur at random in the time scale. However, to study and pinpoint abnormalities in voluminous data collected over several hours is strenuous and time consuming. 相似文献54.
Evolution of transposable elements: an IS10 insertion increases fitness in Escherichia coli 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Strains of Escherichia coli carrying Tn10, a transposon consisting of two
IS10 insertion sequences flanking a segment encoding for a
tetracycline-resistance determinant, gain a competitive advantage in
chemostat cultures. All Tn10-bearing strains that increase in frequency
during competition have a new IS10 insertion that is found in the same
location in the genome of those strains. We mapped, by a gradient of
transmission, the position of the new IS10 insertion. We examined 11
isolates whose IS10 insertion was deleted by recombinational crossing-
over, and in all cases the competitive fitness of the isolates was
decreased. These results show that the IS10-generated insertion increases
fitness in chemostat cultures. We named the insertion fit::IS10 and suggest
that transposable elements may speed the rate of evolution by promoting
nonhomologous recombination between preexisting variations within a genome
and thereby generating adaptive variation.

Members of the ZFY and ZNF6 gene families have been cloned from species
representing different taxa and different modes of sex determination.
Comparisons of these genes show the ZFY-like and ZNF6 sequences to be
strongly conserved across marsupials, birds, and lepidosaurians. Sequence
analyzed by neighbor-joining indicated that both gene families are
monophyletic with a high bootstrap value. Pairing of sequences from males
and females of nonmammalian species showed there to be no significant
difference between male and female sequences from a single species,
consistent with autosomal locations. The molecular distances between murine
Zfy-1, Zfy-2, and other ZFY-like sequences suggested that Zfy genes have
undergone a period of rapid evolutionary change not seen in human ZFY.

Optical tweezers (infrared laser-based optical traps) have emerged as a powerful tool in molecular and cell biology. However, their usefulness has been limited, particularly in vivo, by the potential for damage to specimens resulting from the trapping laser. Relatively little is known about the origin of this phenomenon. Here we employed a wavelength-tunable optical trap in which the microscope objective transmission was fully characterized throughout the near infrared, in conjunction with a sensitive, rotating bacterial cell assay. Single cells of Escherichia coli were tethered to a glass coverslip by means of a single flagellum: such cells rotate at rates proportional to their transmembrane proton potential (. J. Mol. Biol. 138:541-561). Monitoring the rotation rates of cells subjected to laser illumination permits a rapid and quantitative measure of their metabolic state. Employing this assay, we characterized photodamage throughout the near-infrared region favored for optical trapping (790-1064 nm). The action spectrum for photodamage exhibits minima at 830 and 970 nm, and maxima at 870 and 930 nm. Damage was reduced to background levels under anaerobic conditions, implicating oxygen in the photodamage pathway. The intensity dependence for photodamage was linear, supporting a single-photon process. These findings may help guide the selection of lasers and experimental protocols best suited for optical trapping work. 相似文献
