Human alpha-galactosidase A: characterization of the N-linked oligosaccharides on the intracellular and secreted glycoforms overexpressed by Chinese hamster ovary cells

Human alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) is the lysosomal glycohydrolase that cleaves the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties of various glycoconjugates. Overexpression of the enzyme in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells results in high intracellular enzyme accumulation and the selective secretion of active enzyme. Structural analysis of the N -linked oligosaccharides of the intracellular and secreted glycoforms revealed that the secreted enzyme's oligosaccharides were remarkably heterogeneous, having high mannose (63%), complex (30%), and hybrid (5%) structures. The major high mannose oligosaccharides were Man5-7GlcNAc2 species. Approximately 40% of the high mannose and 30% of the hybrid oligosaccharides had phosphate monoester groups. The complex oligosaccharides were mono-, bi- , 2,4-tri-, 2,6-tri- and tetraantennary with or without core-region fucose, many of which had incomplete outer chains. Approximately 30% of the complex oligosaccharides were mono- or disialylated. Sialic acids were mostly N -acetylneuraminic acid and occurred exclusively in alpha2, 3-linkage. In contrast, the intracellular enzyme had only small amounts of complex chains (7.7%) and had predominantly high mannose oligosaccharides (92%), mostly Man5GlcNAc2 and smaller species, of which only 3% were phosphorylated. The complex oligosaccharides were fucosylated and had the same antennary structures as the secreted enzyme. Although most had mature outer chains, none were sialylated. Thus, the overexpression of human alpha-Gal A in CHO cells resulted in different oligosaccharide structures on the secreted and intracellular glycoforms, the highly heterogeneous secreted forms presumably due to the high level expression and impaired glycosylation in the trans- Golgi network, and the predominately Man5-7GlcNAc2 cellular glycoforms resulting from carbohydrate trimming in the lysosome.      

Histological and immunohistochemical studies of the structure of lymph nodes in Kilis goats

Ten healthy adult Kilis goat mesenteric lymph nodes were used to examine the general structure of lymph nodes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, reticular cells and reticular fibers using histological methods. We also detected T lymphocytes using anti-CD3 [SP7], anti-CD4 [74-12-4], mouse anti-bovine CD4 [CC30] and mouse anti-bovine CD8 [CC63] monoclonal antibodies (mAb); and B lymphocytes using anti-CD79a [HM57] mAb, macrophages using anti-macrophage [MAC387] mAb and follicular dendritic cells using anti-S100 polyclonal antibody (pAb). The distribution of these cells also was studied. Although the primer antibodies we used for CD3, CD8, CD79a, MAC387 and S100 worked well, the primer antibodies for CD4 were ineffective for paraffin embedded goat lymph nodes.     

Quantitative trait loci analysis of individual and total isoflavone contents in soybean seeds

Soybean isoflavones play diverse roles in human health, including cancers, osteoporosis, heart disease, menopausal symptoms and pabulums. The objective of this study was to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the isoflavones daidzein (DC), genistein (GeC), glycitein (GlC) and total isoflavone contents (TIC) in soybean seeds. A population of 184 F_21:0 recombinant inbred lines derived from a ‘Xiaoheidou’ בGR8836’ cross was planted in pot and field conditions to evaluate soybean isoflavones. Twenty-one QTL were detected by composite interval mapping. Several QTL were associated with the traits for DC, GeC, GlC and TIC only. QDGeGlTIC4_1 and QDGlTIC12_1 are reported first in this study and were associated with the DC, GeC, GlC and TIC traits simultaneously. The QTL identified have potential value for marker-assisted selection to develop soybean varieties with desirable isoflavone content.

Molecular phylogeny and divergence times of Hormaphidinae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) indicate Late Cretaceous tribal diversification

The aphid subfamily Hormaphidinae is a good candidate for the study of the evolution of insect – plant relationships. Most hormaphidine species depend on woody primary host plants and woody or herbaceous secondary host plants, and represent high host specificity, especially to their primary hosts. No detailed molecular phylogeny of Hormaphidinae has been reported, and the taxonomic positions of some taxa in this group remain unclear. To reconstruct major phylogenetic relationships and to understand the evolution of host association patterns for major lineages, we present the first detailed molecular phylogeny of Hormaphidinae, as inferred from nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences, using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods. The monophyly of Hormaphidinae and its three traditional tribes was supported, and a sister relationship between Hormaphidini and Nipponaphidini was suggested. Most inner relationships within tribes were also supported, and some novel relationships were revealed. Two subtribes of Cerataphidini are proposed. Divergence times estimated using a Bayesian approach indicate that tribal diversifications occurred during the Late Cretaceous and were coincident with the appearance of their primary host plants. The current pattern of secondary host association for the three tribes may have evolved in different time ranges. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, 165 , 73–87.
