Summary One hundred and sixty-five strains of microorganisms with the ability to grow in a medium containing uric acid as a major
source of nitrogen were isolated from soil samples during a screening program. Among them, a zygomycete fungus with well-developed
columellae was recognized to produce high levels of the enzyme in a short time. Classification of the isolated fungus was
carried out according to the morphological and culture characteristics of the organism, and it was identified as Mucor hiemalis. The fungus was able to produce an intracellular urate oxidase in a fermentation medium mainly containing uric acid. Optimized
composition of the medium consisted of (l−1 of distilled water) uric acid, 7.0 g; maltose, 6.0 g; Vogel stock solution, 20 and 1 ml of 0.5 M copper sulphate. The optimum
pH and temperature for uricase production in the optimized medium were pH 6 and 30 °C, respectively. 相似文献

A series of novel copper(II) complexes, L2Cu with newly synthesized 3,5--salicylaldimine (or 5--salicylaldimine) ligands derived from 2,4-di-tert-butyl phenol (or 4-tert-butyl phenol) and alkyl (aryl) amines have been prepared and their spectroscopic (IR, UV-Vis, ESI-MS), X-ray, magnetic and redox properties have been investigated. The X-ray crystallography analysis shows that all complexes are monomeric and their copper(II) centers are surrounded by phenolate oxygens and imine nitrogen atoms. Therefore, the coordination sphere around the copper atoms is N2O2 as seen in galactose oxidase active site. In addition, the geometric configurations of all complexes are square planar or slightly distorted square planar. The crystal system for all complexes is monoclinic, except for which is orthorhombic. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility of complexes confirms the mononuclear structure of complexes. Oxidation of the Cu(II) complexes yielded the corresponding Cu(II)-phenoxyl radical species during the cyclic voltammetry experiments. 相似文献

Malignant transformation of the endothelium is rare, and hemangiosarcomas comprise only 1% of all sarcomas. For this reason and due to the lack of appropriate mouse models, the genetic mechanisms of malignant endothelial transformation are poorly understood. Here, we describe a hemangiosarcoma mouse model generated by deleting p53 specifically in the endothelial and hematopoietic lineages. This strategy led to a high incidence of hemangiosarcoma, with an average latency of 25 weeks. To study the in vivo roles of autocrine or endothelial cell autonomous VEGF signaling in the initiation and/or progression of hemangiosarcomas, we genetically deleted autocrine endothelial sources of VEGF in this mouse model. We found that loss of even a single conditional VEGF allele results in substantial rescue from endothelial cell transformation. These findings highlight the important role of threshold levels of autocrine VEGF signaling in endothelial malignancies and suggest a new approach for hemangiosarcoma treatment using targeted autocrine VEGF inhibition. 相似文献

The influence of concentration (mass and volume fraction) and particle morphology on the yielding properties of filamentous broths ofAspergillus niger and Strepto-myces levoris was investigated using the rotating vane technique and compared with those of pulp suspensions. Two methods were applied to determine the volume fraction of the cells growing in filamentous form: the measurement of interstitial volume using a high molecular weight dye or dextran, and the measurement of dewatered broth filter cake volume by displacement using a pycnometer. The latter method provided the most reliable results. Cell concentrations ranging from 3 to 20 g dw/L, with corresponding volume fractions between 0.005 and 0.05, were obtained with broths generated in stirred tank and shake flask fermentations. The yield stress values obtained using the vane technique (0.1 = tau(y) = 37 Pa) correlated with biomass concentration (X, grams dry weight per liter) using the equation tau(y) = aX(b) with "b" ranging between 2 and 3. Increasing the length of organisms significantly increased the yield stress at a given cell concentration; this morphology effect was described using a "morphology factor" (range 0.016 to 0.11 Pa/[g dw/L](2.5)), determined by setting the value of "b" to 2.5. The vane yield strain, which is the critical strain or deformation at the yield point, was independent of cell concentration, but increased with increasing length of organisms. Filamentous fermentation broths with highly branched organisms had a greater yield stress than pulp suspensions. (c) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The products of oxidative damage to double-stranded (ds) DNA initiated by photolytically generated sulfate radical anions SO4?? were analyzed using reverse-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Relative efficiencies of two major pathways were compared: production of 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) and hydrogen abstraction from the DNA 2-deoxyribose moiety (dR) at C1,′ C4,′ and C5′ positions. The formation of 8oxoG was found to account for 87% of all quantified lesions at low illumination doses. The concentration of 8oxoG quickly reaches a steady state at about one 8oxoG per 100 base pairs due to further oxidation of its products. It was found that another guanine oxidation product identified as 2-amino-5-(2′-alkylamino)-4H-imidazol-4-one (X) was released in significant quantities from its tentative precursor 2-amino-5-[(2′-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-4H-imidazol-4-one (dIz) upon treatment with primary amines in neutral solutions. The linear dose dependence of X release points to the formation of dIz directly from guanine and not through oxidation of 8oxoG. The damage to dR was found to account for about 13% of the total damage, with majority of lesions (33%) originating from the C4′ oxidation. The contribution of C1′ oxidation also turned out to be significant (17% of all dR damages) despite of the steric problems associated with the abstraction of the C1′-hydrogen. However, no evidence of base-to-sugar free valence transfer as a possible alternative to direct hydrogen abstraction at C1′ was found. 相似文献

In order to evaluate the protein and energy requirement of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) sub‐yearlings, eight experimental diets containing two protein levels (40% and 45%) and four lipid levels (10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) were tested. Sturgeons (W0 = 136.8 g) were fed the experimental diets to satiation four times daily for 150 days, resulting in a final mean weight of 375.8 g. Growth was significantly affected by lipid content of the diets. At 40% protein level, weight gain and specific growth rate (% per day) were significantly improved (P < 0.05) by increasing the dietary lipid (energy) content. Protein efficiency ratio (PER) was significantly affected by different dietary treatments for each dietary protein level tested, reaching a mean value of 3.58 in fish fed high lipid diets and a PER of 2.77 in low lipid diets. Results obtained in the present study suggest that the optimum dietary protein content for Persian sturgeon is 40%, with an estimated optimum protein‐to‐energy ratio of 18–20 mg kJ−1. 相似文献

The squid mantle is a complex structure which, in conjunction with a highly sensitive sensory system, provides squid with a wide variety of highly controlled movements. This article presents a model describing systems of collagen fibers that give the mantle its shape and mechanical properties. The validity of the model is verified by comparing predicted optimal fiber angles to actual fiber angles seen in squid mantle. The model predicts optimal configurations for multiple fiber systems. It is found that the tunic fibers (outer collagen layers) provide optimal jetting characteristics when oriented at 31°, which matches empirical data from previous studies. The model also predicted that a set of intramuscular fibers (IM‐1) are oriented relative to the longitudinal axis to provide optimal energy storage capacity within the limiting physical bounds of the collagen fibers themselves. In addition, reasons for deviations from the predicted values are analyzed. This study illustrates how the squid's reinforcing collagen fibers are aligned to provide several locomotory advantages and demonstrates how this complex biological process can be accurately modeled with several simplifying assumptions.

Homeostasis of proteins involved in contractility of individual cardiomyocytes and those coupling adjacent cells is of critical importance as any abnormalities in cardiac electrical conduction may result in cardiac irregular activity and heart failure. Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) is a stress-induced protein whose role in stabilizing myofibril proteins as well as protein quality control pathways, especially in the cardiac tissue, has captured much attention. Mutations of BAG3 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac complications such as dilated cardiomyopathy. In this study, we have used an in vitro model of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes to investigate potential impacts of BAG3 on electrophysiological activity by employing the microelectrode array (MEA) technology. Our MEA data showed that BAG3 plays an important role in the cardiac signal generation as reduced levels of BAG3 led to lower signal frequency and amplitude. Our analysis also revealed that BAG3 is essential to the signal propagation throughout the myocardium, as the MEA data-based conduction velocity, connectivity degree, activation time, and synchrony were adversely affected by BAG3 knockdown. Moreover, BAG3 deficiency was demonstrated to be connected with the emergence of independently beating clusters of cardiomyocytes. On the other hand, BAG3 overexpression improved the activity of cardiomyocytes in terms of electrical signal amplitude and connectivity degree. Overall, by providing more in-depth analyses and characterization of electrophysiological parameters, this study reveals that BAG3 is of critical importance for electrical activity of neonatal cardiomyocytes. 相似文献
