The chlorophyll (Chl)-containing membrane protein complexes from the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus have been isolated from the thylakoid membranes by solubilization with dodecyl-beta-maltoside and fractionation using a sucrose density gradient. The Chl-containing protein fractions were characterized by absorption spectroscopy, tricine SDS PAGE, BN-PAGE, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). BN-PAGE showed the presence of seven protein complexes with molecular weights in the range of 68, 118, 157, 320, 494, 828 and 955 kDa, respectively. Furthermore, light scattering reveals the simultaneous presence of particles of different sizes in the 3-4 nm and 6.0-7.5 nm range, respectively. The smaller size is related to the hydrodynamic radius of the trimer Light Harvesting Complex (LHCII), whereas the larger size is associated with the presence of photosystem I and photosystem II reaction centers. Additionally, functional information regarding protein-protein interactions was deconvoluted using coupling 2-D BN-PAGE, MALDI-TOF MS and a detailed mapping of S. obliquus photosynthetic proteome of the solubilized thylakoid membranes is therefore presented. 相似文献

The important role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the process of carcinogenesis is well established. However, despite very promising activity in a plethora of preclinical models, MMP inhibitors (MMPIs) failed to demonstrate a statistically significant survival advantage in advanced stage clinical trials in most human malignancies. Herein, we review the implication of MMPs in carcinogenesis, outline the pharmacology and current status of various MMPIs as anticancer agents and discuss the etiologies for the discrepancy between their preclinical and clinical evaluation. Finally, strategies for effective incorporation of MMPIs in current anticancer therapies are proposed. 相似文献

For many years, there has been uncertainty concerning the reason for Hsp70 translocation to the nucleus and nucleolus. Herein,
we propose that Hsp70 translocates to the nucleus and nucleoli in order to participate in pathways related to the protection
of the nucleoplasmic DNA or ribosomal DNA from single-strand breaks. The absence of Hsp70 in HeLa cells, via Hsp70 gene silencing
(knockdown), indicated the essential role of Hsp70 in DNA integrity. Therefore, HeLa Hsp70 depleted cells were very sensitive
in heat treatment and their DNA breaks were multiple compared to that of control HeLa cells. The molecular mechanism with
which Hsp70 performs its role at the level of nucleus and nucleolus during stress was examined. Hsp70 co-localizes with PARP1
in the nucleus/nucleoli as was observed in confocal studies and binds to the BCRT domain of PARP1 as was revealed with protein–protein
interaction assays. It was also found that Hsp70 binds simultaneously to XRCC1 and PARP-1, indicating that Hsp70 function
takes place at the level of DNA repair and possibly at the base excision repair system. Making a hypothetical model, we have
suggested that Hsp70 is the molecule that binds and interrelates with PARP1 creating the repair proteins simultaneously, such
as XRCC1, at the single-strand DNA breaks. Our data partially clarify a previously unrecognized cellular response to heat
stress. Finally, we can speculate that Hsp70 plays a role in the quality and integrity of DNA.
Outlining prior scientific knowledge on the subject and novel information: The role of Hsp70 translocation to the nucleus
and nucleolus during heat stress has been nearly unknown. It has been proposed that this biological phenomenon is correlated
to Hsp70-chaperoning activity. Furthermore, some previous observations in yeast have revealed that Rad9 complexes—Rad9 being
the prototype DNA-damage checkpoint gene—contain Ssa1 and or Ssa2 chaperone proteins, both reconstituting the functions of
the corresponding Hsp70 in mammalian cells. Here, we propose that Hsp70 translocates to the nuclei/nucleoli during heat stress,
binds to PARP-1 and/or XRCC1, and protects HeLa cells from increased single-strand DNA breaks. 相似文献

Leaves are the main photosynthetic organs of vascular plants and show considerable diversity in their geometries, ranging from simple spoonlike forms to complex shapes with individual leaflets, as in compound leaves. Leaf vascular tissues, which act as conduits of both nutrients and signaling information, are organized in networks of different architectures that usually mirror the surrounding leaf shape. Understanding the processes that endow leaves and vein networks with ordered and closely aligned shapes has captured the attention of biologists and mathematicians since antiquity. Recent work has suggested that the growth regulator auxin has a key role in both initiation and elaboration of final morphology of both leaves and vascular networks. A key feature of auxin action is the existence of feedback loops through which auxin regulates its own transport. These feedbacks may facilitate the iterative generation of basic modules that underlies morphogenesis of both leaves and vasculature.Leaf form and vascular patterns provide some of the most impressive examples of the complexity of biological shapes generated in nature. A common feature of the development of the leaf lamina and vein networks is the repeated use of basic modules. For example, the iterative emergence of marginal leaf-shape elements, such as serrations, lobes, and leaflets (Fig. 1A–D), and the arrangement of successive orders of branched veins result in different types of leaf geometries and vascular patterns, respectively. Intriguingly, there is also congruence of leaf shape and vein layouts, such that, at least superficially, the pattern of vasculature formation is well aligned with the final geometry of the leaf lamina. These observations raise the questions of (1) what are the specific signaling pathways that sculpt leaf shape and vascular patterns, (2) to what degree lamina growth and vascular development share common genetic control, and finally (3) how coordination between leaf and vascular development is achieved and impacts on generation of final leaf shape and vein arrangement. Over the past 15 years, genetic approaches have led to substantial increase in our understanding of leaf and vascular development, and have provided good evidence that regulated activity of the small indolic growth regulator auxin provides important spatial cues for both processes. Such roles of auxin in different facets of leaf and vascular development is the focus of our article.Open in a separate windowFigure 1.Axes of leaf asymmetry and diversity of leaf shape. (A) A simple, serrated leaf of the Columbia ecotype of Arabidopsis thaliana. The proximo–distal (P–D) and medio–lateral (M–L) axes are indicated in the image. The asterisk marks one marginal serration. (B) The lobed leaf of the Arabidopsis thaliana relative Arabidopsis lyrata. The asterisk depicts the position of one lobe. Lobes are deep serrations, so the definition of an outgrowth as a serration or lobe is somewhat arbitrary. (C) The dissected leaf of Cardamine hirsuta. The asterisk marks a lateral leaflet. Leaflets are clearly defined as distinct units of the same leaf, which connect with the rachis (R) via a structure called a petiolule (Pu). (D) The dissected leaf of the cultivated tomato. Tomato demonstrates additional orders of dissection with respect to Cardamine hirsuta leaf and produces both primary leaflets (black asterisk) and secondary leaflets (red asterisk). (E) Scanning electron micrograph of the shoot apex of tomato. The white asterisk marks a leaf primordium (1) initiating from the meristem. The adaxial (yellow) and abaxial (orange) domains are marked on the subsequent developing leaf (2). Tomato is a compound leaf plant where leaflets are formed from the leaf blade soon after leaf initiation (a developing leaflet is marked by an arrow in leaf 3). Images in panels A–D are leaf silhouettes. Scale bars: (A–D) 1 cm, (E) 100 µm. 相似文献

Changing conditions of life impose new requirements on the morphology and physiology of an organism. One of these changes is the evolutionary transition from aquatic to terrestrial life, leading to adaptations in locomotion, breathing, reproduction, and mechanisms for food capture. We have shown previously that insects' wings most likely originated from one of the gills of ancestral aquatic arthropods during their transition to life on land. Here we investigate the fate of these ancestral gills during the evolution of another major arthropod group, the chelicerates. We examine the expression of two developmental genes, pdm/nubbin and apterous, that participate in the specification of insects' wings and are expressed in particular crustacean epipods/gills. In the horseshoe crab, a primitively aquatic chelicerate, pdm/nubbin is specifically expressed in opisthosomal appendages that give rise to respiratory organs called book gills. In spiders (terrestrial chelicerates), pdm/nubbin and apterous are expressed in successive segmental primordia that give rise to book lungs, lateral tubular tracheae, and spinnerets, novel structures that are used by spiders to breathe on land and to spin their webs. Combined with morphological and palaeontological evidence, these observations suggest that fundamentally different new organs (wings, air-breathing organs, and spinnerets) evolved from the same ancestral structure (gills) in parallel instances of terrestrialization. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)therapy is entering a challenging phase after completion of many preclinical and clinical trials.Among the major hurdles encountered in MSC therapy are inconsistent stem cell potency,poor cell engraftment and survival,and age/disease-related host tissue impairment.The recognition that MSCs primarily mediate therapeutic benefits through paracrine mechanisms independent of cell differentiation provides a promising framework for enhancing stem cell potency and therapeutic benefits.Several MSC priming approaches are highlighted,which will likely allow us to harness the full potential of adult stem cells for their future routine clinical use. 相似文献

Quantitative proteomics based on isotopic labeling has become the method of choice to accurately determine changes in protein abundance in highly complex mixtures. Isotope‐coded protein labeling (ICPL), which is based on the nicotinoylation of proteins at lysine residues and free N‐termini was used as a simple, reliable and fast method for the comparative analysis of three different cellular states of the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum through pairwise comparison. The labeled proteins were subjected to SDS‐PAGE, in‐gel digested and the proteolytic peptides were separated by LC and analyzed by MALDI‐TOF/TOF MS. Automated quantitation was performed by comparing the MS peptide signals of 12C and 13C nicotinoylated isotopic peptide pairs. The transitions between (i) aerobic growth in complex versus synthetic medium and (ii) aerobic versus anaerobic/phototrophic growth, both in complex medium, provide a wide span in nutrient and energy supply for the cell and thus allowed optimal studies of proteome changes. In these two studies, 559 and 643 proteins, respectively, could be quantified allowing a detailed analysis of the adaptation of H. salinarum to changes of its living conditions. The subtle cellular response to a wide variation of nutrient and energy supply demonstrates a fine tuning of the cellular protein inventory. 相似文献

The assessment of redox status is most frequently performed by measuring redox biomarkers. The spectrophotometer is the most commonly used analytical instrument in biochemistry. There is a huge number of spectrophotometric redox biomarkers and assays, thus distinguishing the most appropriate biomarkers and protocols is overwhelming. The aim of the present review is to propose valid and reliable spectrophotometric assays for measuring redox biomarkers in blood. It is hoped that this work will help researchers to select the most suitable redox biomarkers and assays. 相似文献
