Treatment of cultures of the ciliate Tetrahymena with fetal bovine serum (FBS) enhanced the rate of cell proliferation. The growth promoting activity was partially purified from FBS as a high Mr complex including four components with apparent Mr values of 180 kDa, 68 kDa, 60 kDa and 30 kDa by a 4-step procedure. The 180 kDa component was identified by amino acid sequencing as α2-macroglobulin. The addition of purified α2-macroglobulin from bovine plasma to cultures of Tetrahymena was also found to enhance the rate of cell proliferation. This report is the first dealing with the direct identification of a mammalian factor which promotes the growth of free-living protozoa. 相似文献

Dystonia-1 (DYT1) is an autosomal dominant early-onset torsion form of dystonia, a neurological disease affecting movement. DYT1 is the prototypic hereditary dystonia and is caused by the mutation of the tor1a gene. The gene product has chaperone functions important for the control of protein folding and stability. Dystonia-4 (DYT4) is another autosomal dominant dystonia that is characterized by onset in the second to third decade of progressive laryngeal dysphonia. DYT4 is associated with the mutation of the tubb4a gene, although it remains to be understood how disease-associated mutation affects biochemical as well as cell biological properties of the gene product as the microtubule component (a tubulin beta subunit). Herein we demonstrate that DYT4-associated TUBB4A missense mutants (Arg2-to-Gly or Ala271-to-Thr) form disorganized tubulin networks in cells. Transfected mutants are indeed expressed in cytoplasmic regions, as observed in wild-type transfectants. However, mutant proteins do not exhibit typical radial tubulin networks. Rather, they have diminished ability to interact with tubulin alpha subunits. Processes do not form in sufficient amounts in cells of the N1E-115 neuronal cell line expressing each of these mutants as compared to parental cells. Together, DYT4-associated TUBB4A mutants themselves form aberrant tubulin networks and inhibit neuronal process growth, possibly explaining progress through the pathological states at cellular levels. 相似文献

A small number of genes may interact to determine sex, but few such examples have been demonstrated in animals, especially through comprehensive mating experiments. The highly invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata is gonochoristic and shows a large variation in brood sex ratio, and the involvement of multiple genes has been suggested for this phenomenon. We conducted mating experiments to determine whether their sex determination involves a few or many genes (i.e., oligogenic or polygenic sex determination, respectively). Full-sib females or males that were born from the same parents were mated to an adult of the opposite sex, and the brood sex ratios of the parents and their offspring were investigated. Analysis of a total of 4288 offspring showed that the sex ratios of offspring from the full-sib females were variable but clustered into only a few values. Similar patterns were observed for the full-sib males, although the effect was less clear because fewer offspring were used (n?=?747). Notably, the offspring sex ratios of all full-sib females in some families were nearly 0.5 (proportion of males) with little variation. These results indicate that the number of genotypes of the full-sibs, and hence genes involved in sex determination, is small in this snail. Such oligogenic systems may be a major sex-determining system among animals, especially those with variable sex ratios. 相似文献

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) caused by a species Dabie bandavirus (formerly SFTS virus [SFTSV]) is an emerging hemorrhagic infectious disease with a high case-fatality rate. One of the best strategies for preventing SFTS is to develop a vaccine, which is expected to induce both humoral and cellular immunity. We applied a highly attenuated but still immunogenic vaccinia virus strain LC16m8 (m8) as a recombinant vaccine for SFTS. Recombinant m8s expressing SFTSV nucleoprotein (m8-N), envelope glycoprotein precursor (m8-GPC), and both N and GPC (m8-N+GPC) in the infected cells were generated. Both m8-GPC- and m8-N+GPC-infected cells were confirmed to produce SFTSV-like-particles (VLP) in vitro, and the N was incorporated in the VLP produced by the infection of cells with m8-N+GPC. Specific antibodies to SFTSV were induced in mice inoculated with each of the recombinant m8s, and the mice were fully protected from lethal challenge with SFTSV at both 103 TCID50 and 105 TCID50. In mice that had been immunized with vaccinia virus strain Lister in advance of m8-based SFTSV vaccine inoculation, protective immunity against the SFTSV challenge was also conferred. The pathological analysis revealed that mice immunized with m8-GPC or m8-N+GPC did not show any histopathological changes without any viral antigen-positive cells, whereas the control mice showed focal necrosis with inflammatory infiltration with SFTSV antigen-positive cells in tissues after SFTSV challenge. The passive serum transfer experiments revealed that sera collected from mice inoculated with m8-GPC or m8-N+GPC but not with m8-N conferred protective immunity against lethal SFTSV challenge in naïve mice. On the other hand, the depletion of CD8-positive cells in vivo did not abrogate the protective immunity conferred by m8-based SFTSV vaccines. Based on these results, the recombinant m8-GPC and m8-N+GPC were considered promising vaccine candidates for SFTS. 相似文献

The p53 protein is known as a guardian of the genome and is involved in energy metabolism. Since the metabolic system is uniquely regulated in each tissue, we have anticipated that p53 also would play differential roles in each tissue. In this study, we focused on the functions of p53 in white adipose tissue (adipocytes) and skeletal muscle (myotubes), which are important peripheral tissues involved in energy metabolism. We found that in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, but not in C2C12 myoblasts, p53 stabilization or overexpression downregulates the expression of Ppargc1a, a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. Next, by using p53-knockdown C2C12 myotubes or 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, we further examined the relationship between p53 and mitochondrial regulation. In C2C12 myoblasts, p53 knockdown did not significantly affect Ppargc1a expression and mtDNA, but did suppress differentiation to myotubes, as previously reported. However, in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and mouse embryonic fibroblasts, p53 downregulation enhanced both differentiation into adipocytes and mitochondrial DNA content. Furthermore, p53-depleted 3T3-L1 cells showed increase in mitochondrial proteins and enhancement of both Citrate Synthase and Complex IV activities during adipogenesis. These results show that p53 differentially regulates cell differentiation and mitochondrial biogenesis between adipocytes and myotubes, and provide evidence that p53 is an inhibitory factor of mitochondrial regulation in adipocyte lineage. 相似文献
