Corn samples were collected in 1999 from three departments of Entre Réos province, Argentina, and were surveyed for mould
contamination and natural occurrence ofFusarium mycotoxins, ochratoxin A and aflatoxins.Fusarium verticillioides was the most prevalent fungal species recorded at all departments. Zearalenone, deoxynivalenol and ochratoxin A were not
found in any samples. Only one of the 52 corn samples analysed was contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (17 μg/kg). Fumonisin B1 was found in 58 % of samples (range of positive samples: 47– 3,347 μg/kg), fumonisin B2 in 33.0 % (range of positive samples: 23–537 μg/kg) and fumonisin B3 in 25.0 % (range of positive samples: 24–287 μg/kg) of them. This is the first report on the natural occurrence of mycotoxins
in corn from Entre Ríos province, Argentina. Levels of fumonisins were lower than detected in other Argentinian provinces. 相似文献

Despite the recent introduction of biological response modifiers and potent new small-molecule antirheumatic drugs, the efficacy of methotrexate is nearly unsurpassed in the treatment of inflammatory arthritis. Although methotrexate was first introduced as an antiproliferative agent that inhibits the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines for the therapy of malignancies, it is now clear that many of the anti-inflammatory effects of methotrexate are mediated by adenosine. This nucleoside, acting at one or more of its receptors, is a potent endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator. In confirmation of this mechanism of action, recent studies in both animals and patients suggest that adenosine-receptor antagonists, among which is caffeine, reverse or prevent the anti-inflammatory effects of methotrexate. 相似文献

The ability of particular cell surface glycoproteins to recycle and become
exposed to individual Golgi enzymes has been demonstrated. This study was
designed to determine whether endocytic trafficking includes significant
reentry into the overall oligosaccharide processing pathway. The Lec1
mutant of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells lack N -
acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-TI) activity resulting in surface
expression of incompletely processed Man5GlcNAc2 N -linked
oligosaccharides. An oligosaccharide tracer was created by exoglycosylation
of cell surface glycoproteins with purified porcine GlcNAc-TI and
UDP-[3H]GlcNAc. Upon reculturing, all cell surface glycoproteins that
acquired [3H]GlcNAc were acted upon by intracellular mannosidase II, the
next enzyme in the Golgi processing pathway of complex N -linked
oligosaccharides (t1/2= 3-4 h). That all radiolabeled cell surface
glycoproteins were included in this endocytic pathway indicates a common
intracellular compartment into which endocytosed cell surface glycoproteins
return. Significantly, no evidence was found for continued oligosaccharide
processing consistent with transit through the latter cisternae of the
Golgi apparatus. These data indicate that, although recycling plasma
membrane glycoproteins can be reexposed to individual Golgi-derived
enzymes, significant reentry into the overall contiguous processing pathway
is not evident.

The role of site-specific N-glycosylation in secretion of soluble forms of rabies virus glycoprotein 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Rabies virus glycoprotein is important in the biology and pathogenesis of
neurotropic rabies virus infection. This transmembrane glycoprotein is the
only viral protein on the surface of virus particles, is the viral
attachment protein that facilitates virus uptake by the infected cell, and
is the target of the host humoral immune response to infection. The
extracellular domain of this glycoprotein has N- glycosylation sequons at
Asn37, Asn247, and Asn319. Appropriate glycosylation of these sequons is
important in the expression of the glycoprotein. Soluble forms of rabies
virus glycoprotein were constructed by insertion of a stop codon just
external to the transmembrane domain. Using site-directed mutagenesis and
expression in transfected eukaryotic cells, it was possible to compare the
effects of site-specific glycosylation on the cell-surface expression and
secretion of transmembrane and soluble forms, respectively, of the same
glycoprotein. These studies yielded the surprising finding that although
any of the three sequons permitted cell surface expression of full-length
rabies virus glycoprotein, only the N-glycan at Asn319 permitted secretion
of soluble rabies virus glycoprotein. Despite its biological and medical
importance, it has not yet been possible to determine the crystal structure
of the full-length transmembrane form of rabies virus glycoprotein which
contains heterogeneous oligosaccharides. The current studies demonstrate
that a soluble form of rabies virus glycoprotein containing only one sequon
at Asn319 is efficiently secreted in the presence of the N-glycan
processing inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin. Thus, it is possible to purify
a conformationally relevant form of rabies virus glycoprotein that contains
only one N-glycan with a substantial reduction in its microheterogeneity.
This form of the glycoprotein may be particularly useful for future studies
aimed at elucidating the three-dimensional structure of this important
glycoprotein.

The gun cells which develop from germinating cysts in Haptoglossa produce a specialized infection apparatus, the injection tube. Upon eversion this tube fires a missile-like projectile which penetrates the host cuticle and then forms an infective sporidium within the body cavity of the nematode host. The temporal assembly of this complex cell organelle has been determined by serial-section reconstructions of maturing gun cells in a previously undescribed Haptoglossa species. The differentiation of the partially walled inverted injection tube is an unusual example of internal tube growth, in which membrane and wall assembly are temporally separated. There is no evidence that the shape of this inverted tube, which coils around the nucleus until it doubles back on itself, is dictated by the disposition of cytoplasmic microtubules. However, actin-like material was associated with the delimiting membrane of the differentiating tube, particularly in the regions of extension. From these studies it seems likely that the "head and buttress" structures previously depicted as the barbed tip of the "harpoon-like" penetration missile are part of a separate, structurally complex system which we suggest locks the "missile" into position in the invaginated injection tube. From this detailed account of cell architecture, models for the likely mechanism of infection cell firing are discussed, and unresolved questions relating to the cell biology and biochemistry of these complex organelles are highlighted.

Replication process of the parvovirus H-1. VIII. Partial denaturation mapping and localization of the replication origin of H-1 replicative-form DNA with electron microscopy. 总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Partial denaturation mapping, restriction endonuclease digestion, and electron microscopy were used to determine which end of the linear duplex replicative-form (RF) DNA molecule contains the origin of RF replication for the parvovirus H-1. This origin was localized within approximately 300 base pairs of the arbitrarily designated right end of the RF DNA, in the EcoRI or HaeII-A fragment. Based on denaturation behavior in formamide, the right end was also found to have a relatively high guanine plus cytosine content, whereas the region adjacent to the left terminus of the RF DNA molecule was adenine plus thymine rich. 相似文献
