Leaf development involves many complex genetic interactions,signals between adjacent cells or between more distant tissues and consequent changes in cell fate.This review describes three stages in leaf development where regulation by small RNAs have been used to modulate gene expression patterns. 相似文献

Background
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy diseases are untreatable, uniformly fatal degenerative syndromes of the central nervous system that can be transmitted both within as well as between species. The bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic and the emergence of a new human variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), have profoundly influenced beef production processes as well as blood donation and surgical procedures. Simple, robust and cost effective diagnostic screening and surveillance tools are needed for both the preclinical and clinical stages of TSE disease in order to minimize both the economic costs and zoonotic risk of BSE and to further reduce the risk of secondary vCJD. 相似文献24.

Background
This study evaluated whether there is a relationship between the zona pellucida birefringence (ZP-BF) intensity and the nuclear (NM) and cytoplasmic (CM) in vitro maturation of human oocytes from stimulated cycles. 相似文献25.
Under the conventional cytogenetical examination of 6 different children groups (with and without non-stohastic thyroid pathology, exposed and nonexposed to the iodine isotopes in 1986) from the goiter endemic zone of Ukraine which belongs to the territory contaminated by 137Cs radionuclides, the identical to the spontaneous level of somatic chromosome mutagenesis of the last decade in all observed groups with the tendency to increasing of stable aberrations in some persons had been established. 相似文献

The meta-cleavage pathway of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 was simulated using a biochemical systems simulation developed by Regan (1996). A non-competitive inhibition term for catechol-2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) by 2-OH-pent-2,4-dienoate (Ki = 150 μM) was incorporated into the model. The simulation predicted steady state accumulation levels in the μM range for metabolites pre-meta-cleavage, and in the mM range for metabolites post-meta-cleavage. The logarithmic gains L[V-i, Xj] and L[X-i, Xj] clearly indicated that the pathway was most sensitive to the concentration of the starting substrate, benzoate, and the first enzyme of the pathway, toluate-1, 2-dioxygenase (TO). The simulation was validated experimentally; it was found that the amplification of TO increased the steady state flux from 0.024 to 0.091 (mmol/g cell dwt)/h. This resulted in an increased accumulation of a number of the pathway metabolites (intra- and extracellularly), especially cis-diol, 4-OH-2-oxovalerate, and 4-oxalocrotonate. Metabolic control analysis indicated that C23O was, in fact, the major controling enzymic step of the pathway with a scaled control coefficient of 0.83. The amplification of TO resulted in a shift of some of the control away from C23O. Catechol-2,3-dioxygenase, however, remained as the major controling element of the pathway.

Higher-level snake phylogeny inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences of 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Portions of two mitochondrial genes (12S and 16S ribosomal RNA) were
sequenced to determine the phylogenetic relationships among the major
clades of snakes. Thirty-six species, representing nearly all extant
families, were examined and compared with sequences of a tuatara and three
families of lizards. Snakes were found to constitute a monophyletic group
(confidence probability [CP] = 96%), with the scolecophidians (blind
snakes) as the most basal lineages (CP = 99%). This finding supports the
hypothesis that snakes underwent a subterranean period early in their
evolution. Caenophidians (advanced snakes), excluding Acrochordus, were
found to be monophyletic (CP = 99%). Among the caenophidians, viperids were
monophyletic (CP = 98%) and formed the sister group to the elapids plus
colubrids (CP = 94%). Within the viperids, two monophyletic groups were
identified: true vipers (CP = 98%) and pit vipers plus Azemiops (CP = 99%).
The elapids plus Atractaspis formed a monophyletic clade (CP = 99%). Within
the paraphyletic Colubridae, the largely Holarctic Colubrinae was found to
be a monophyletic assemblage (CP = 98%), and the Xenodontinae was found to
be polyphyletic (CP = 91%). Monophyly of the henophidians (primitive
snakes) was neither supported nor rejected because of the weak resolution
of relationships among those taxa, except for the clustering of Calabaria
with a uropeltid, Rhinophis (CP = 94%).

Molecular dynamics of synthetic leucine-serine ion channels in a phospholipid membrane 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Molecular dynamics calculations were carried out on models of two synthetic leucine-serine ion channels: a tetrameric bundle with sequence (LSLLLSL)(3)NH(2) and a hexameric bundle with sequence (LSSLLSL)(3)NH(2). Each protein bundle is inserted in a palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer membrane and solvated by simple point charge water molecules inside the pore and at both mouths. Both systems appear to be stable in the absence of an electric field during the 4 ns of molecular dynamics simulation. The water motion in the narrow pore of the four-helix bundle is highly restricted and may provide suitable conditions for proton transfer via a water wire mechanism. In the wider hexameric pore, the water diffuses much more slowly than in bulk but is still mobile. This, along with the dimensions of the pore, supports the observation that this peptide is selective for monovalent cations. Reasonable agreement of predicted conductances with experimentally determined values lends support to the validity of the simulations. 相似文献

Characteristics of 13 newly isolated thermophilic, anaerobic, and cellulolytic strains were compared with previously described
strains of Clostridium thermocellum: ATCC 27405 and JW20 (ATCC 31549). Colony morphology, antibiotic sensitivity, fermentation end-products, and cellulose degradation
were documented. All 13 strains were sensitive to erythromycin (5 μg/ml) and chloramphenicol (25 μg/ml), and all strains but
one were sensitive to kanamycin (20 μg/ml). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using primers based on gene sequences
from C. thermocellum ATCC 27405 was successful for all 13 strains in the case of the hydrogenase gene and 11 strains in the case of phosphotransacetylase/acetate
kinase genes. Ten strains amplified a product of the expected size with primers developed to be specific for C. thermocellum 16SrRNA primers. Two of the 13 strains did not amplify any product with the PCR primers designed for the phosphotransacetylase/acetate
kinase and 16SrRNA primers. A MboI-like GATC- recognizing restriction activity was present in all of the five strains examined. The results of this study have
several positive implications with respect to future development of a transformation system for cellulolytic thermophiles.
