The nucleotide sequences corresponding to bovine alpha S2- and beta- casein
mRNAs have been determined by cDNA analysis. Both sequences appear to be
complete at their 5' ends. The nucleotide sequence of alpha S2-casein, when
compared with the corresponding cavine A sequence, helps to define the
boundaries of a large amino acid repeat (approximately 80 residues) whereas
comparisons with the nucleotide sequences of rat gamma- and mouse
epsilon-casein mRNAs also reveal extensive sequence similarities. An
alignment of these four sequences shows that the divergence of their
translated regions has been characterized by the duplication and deletion
of discrete segments of sequence that probably correspond to exons. A high
degree of nucleotide substitution is also found when the four sequences are
compared, except for well-conserved leader-peptide and phosphorylation-site
sequences and, to a lesser extent, the 5'-untranslated regions. Similar
comparison of the bovine and rat beta-caseins shows that their divergence
has involved a high rate of nucleotide substitution but that no major
insertions or deletions of sequence have occurred. The several splice sites
that have veen defined in the rat beta-casein gene are likely to have been
conserved in the bovine. The contrasting evolutionary histories of the
alpha- and beta-casein coding sequences correlate with the distinctive
functions of these proteins in the casein micelle system in milk.

Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) bind the constant Fc region of IgG molecules. IgG/antigen-containing immune complexes elicit a variety
of effector functions in cells that express activating FcγRs. Because activating FcγRs are present on cells from the innate
immune system, such as dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages and granulocytes, these IgG receptors form a crucial link between
the innate and the acquired immune systems. Recently, the ability to detect the inhibitory FcγRIIb on cells has indicated
an imbalance between activating and inhibitory FcγRs in rheumatoid arthritis. This progress offers an opportunity to study
modulation of FcγR balance and could stimulate development of FcγR-directed immunotherapy. 相似文献

SUMOylation plays important roles in the DNA damage response. However, whether it is important for interstrand crosslink repair remains unknown. We report that the SLX4 nuclease scaffold protein is regulated by SUMOylation. We have identified three SUMO interaction motifs (SIMs) in SLX4, mutating all of which abrogated the binding of SLX4 to SUMO-2 and covalent SLX4 SUMOylation. An SLX4 mutant lacking functional SIMs is not recruited to PML nuclear bodies nor stabilized at laser-induced DNA damage sites. Additionally, we elucidated a novel role for PARylation in the recruitment of SLX4 to sites of DNA damage. Combined, our results uncover how SLX4 is regulated by post-translational modifications. 相似文献

IL-7 is known foremost for its immunostimulatory capacities, including potent T cell-dependent catabolic effects on bone. In joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, IL-7, via immune activation, can induce joint destruction. Now it has been demonstrated that increased IL-7 levels are produced by human articular chondrocytes of older individuals and osteoarthritis patients. IL-7 stimulates production of proteases by IL-7 receptor-expressing chondrocytes and enhances cartilage matrix degradation. This indicates that IL-7, indirectly via immune activation, but also by a direct action on cartilage, contributes to joint destruction in rheumatic diseases. 相似文献

A nearly universal feature of intron sequences is that even closely related
species exhibit a large number of insertion/deletion differences. The goal
of the analysis described here is to test whether the observed pattern of
insertion/deletion events in the genealogy of the myosin alkali light chain
(Mlc1) gene is consistent with neutrality, and if not, to determine the
underlying forces of evolutionary change. Mlc1 pre-mRNA is alternatively
spliced, and one constraint is that signals necessary for
tissue-specificity of directed splicing must be conserved. If the total
length of an intron is functionally constrained, then the distribution of
indels on branches of the gene genealogy should reflect a departure from
randomness. Here we perform a phylogenetic analysis, inferring ancestral
states wherever possible on a phylogeny of 29 alleles of Mlc1 from six
species of Drosophila. Observed patterns of indels on the genealogy were
compared to those from simulated data, with the result that we cannot
reject the null hypothesis of neutrality. A clear departure from a neutral
prediction was seen in the excess folding free energy predicted for the
introns flanking the alternatively spliced exon. Relative rate tests also
suggest a retardation in the rate of Mlc1 sequence evolution in the
simulans clade.

We report a case of an allergic reaction after the administration of an echocardiographic contrast agent which resulted in ST-segment elevation. Hypersensitivity and allergic reactions are known causes of acute cardiovascular events. However, only limited reports are available which suggest the exact mechanism of the occurrence of angina or myocardial infarction during severe allergic reactions. In our case, through invasive imaging (coronary angiography and IVUS) we have shown for the first time a transient coronary spasm in the absence of intra-coronary thrombus and only minimal neointimal hyperplasia. 相似文献

Conservation of alternative splicing and genomic organization of the myosin alkali light-chain (Mlc1) gene among Drosophila species 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The Mlc1 gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes two MLC1 isoforms via
developmentally regulated alternative pre-mRNA splicing. In larval muscle
and tubular and abdominal muscles of adults, all of the six exons are
included in the spliced mRNA, whereas, in the fibrillar indirect flight
muscle of adult, exon 5 is excluded from the mRNA. We show that this
tissue-specific pattern of alternative splicing of the Mlc1 pre-mRNA is
conserved in D. simulans, D. pseudoobscura, and D. virilis. Isolation and
sequencing of the Mlc1 genes from these three other Drosophila species have
revealed that the overall organization of the genes is identical and that
the genes have maintained a very high level of sequence identity within the
coding region. Pairwise amino acid identities are 94%-99%, and there are no
charge changes among the proteins. Total nucleotide divergence within the
coding region of the four genes supports the accepted genealogy of these
species, but the data indicate a significantly higher rate of amino acid
replacement in the branch leading to D. pseudoobscura. A comparison of
nucleotide substitutions in the coding portions of exon 5 and exon 6, which
encode the alternative carboxyl termini of the two MLC1 isoforms, suggests
that exon 5 is subject to greater evolutionary constraints than is exon 6.
In addition to the coding sequences, there is significant sequence
conservation within the 5' and 3' noncoding DNA and two of the introns,
including one that flanks exon 5. These regions are candidates for cis-
regulatory elements. Our results suggest that evolutionary constraints are
acting on both the coding and noncoding sequences of the Mlc1 gene to
maintain proper expression and function of the two MLC1 polypeptides.

The development of an immunosensor for the direct probing of the interaction between a cysteine-modified synthetic peptide, which corresponds to the epitope cTnC-89-98 of troponin C, and its specific antibody is described. Following immobilization of the peptide onto gold electrodes through the formation of a self-assembled monolayer, the alteration of the interfacial properties of the electrodes upon peptide-antibody interaction was traced by faradaic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using a silicotungstic heteropolyacid, H(4)SiO(4).12WO(3), as a redox probe. The electrochemical behaviour of the redox probe was evaluated with cyclic voltammetry and EIS. The effect of milk protein or 4-mercaptophenol, which was used as post-blocking agents, on the performance of the immunosensor, was investigated. Treatment with 4-mercaptophenol resulted in immunoeffective electrodes that successfully tested in anti-serum samples. An optimum dilution ratio of the samples, where the effect of the matrix on the measuring signal is negligible, was also determined. 相似文献
