Background
BRCA protein interacts with at least 13 different proteins that have been implicated with cancer susceptibility and loss of BRCA function is correlated to sensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents in preclinical models.Results
BRCA2 methylation frequency was 44%, p53 Pro22 allele frequency was 32% and heterozygous frequency of Arg/Pro72 genotype was 60% which could be associated as risk factor for metastasis (p = 0.046 OR = 4.190). Regarding to polymorphism of codon 249 the frequency of Arg249 allele presented 82% which was considered not statistically significant.Conclusions
There was not statistical significance to BRCA2 promoter methylation with any parameters chosen. However, our findings suggest that patients who present heterozygous genotype at codon 72 of p53 gene may have a major susceptibility to any type of metastasis and this could serve as potential auxiliary biomarker for poor prognosis. 相似文献32.
A 522-base-long Y-chromosomal sequence was isolated from a BALB/c genomic
library and was designated "BF046." It is repeated about 200 times in the
male genome, and a difference was detected between the Mus musculus
musculus and the M. m. domesticus type Y chromosomes. BF046- related
sequences were present over the entire length of the Y chromosome as
visualized by in situ hybridization. Southern blot analysis against DNAs
isolated from eight species in the genus Mus showed that BF046-related
sequences were amplified in the Y chromosomes of three closely related
species: M. musculus, M. spicilegus, and M. spretus. To gain insight into
the stability of the BF046 sequence family, we isolated 18 additional
clones from these three mouse species and compared their sequences. The M.
musculus sequences differed from the M. spicilegus and M. spretus sequences
by two indels. The remaining parts of the sequences were very similar, but
both parsimony and distance-based analytical methods divided the sequences
into the same four subgroups, with each species having its own subgroup(s).
Thus, the Y chromosomes of M. musculus, M. spicilegus, and M. spretus can
be distinguished from one another.

The possible role of glycosphingolipids as adhesion receptors for the human
gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori was examined by use of radiolabeled
bacteria, or protein extracts from the bacterial cell surface, in the
thin-layer chromatogram binding assay. Of several binding specificities
found, the binding to lactosylceramide is described in detail here, the
others being reported elsewhere. By autoradiography a preferential binding
to lactosylceramide having sphingosine/phytosphingosine and 2-D hydroxy
fatty acids was detected, whereas lactosylceramide having sphingosine and
nonhydroxy fatty acids was consistently nonbinding. A selective binding of
H. pylori to lactosylceramide with phytosphingosine and 2-D hydroxy fatty
acid was obtained when the different lactosylceramide species were
incorporated into liposomes, but only in the presence of cholesterol,
suggesting that this selectivity may be present also in vivo . Importantly,
lactosylceramide with sphingosine and hydroxy fatty acids does not bind in
this assay. Furthermore, a lactosylceramide-based binding pattern obtained
for different trisaccharide glycosphingolipids is consistent with the
assumption that this selectivity is due to binding of a conformation of
lactosylceramide in which the oxygen of the 2-D fatty acid hydroxyl group
forms a hydrogen bond with the Glc hydroxy methyl group, yielding an
epitope presentation different from other possible conformers. An
alternative conformation that may come into consideration corresponds to
the crystal structure found for cerebroside, in which the fatty acid
hydroxyl group is free to interact directly with the adhesin. By isolating
glycosphingolipids from epithelial cells of human stomach from seven
individuals, a binding of H.pylori to the diglycosylceramide region of the
non-acid fraction could be demonstrated in one of these cases. Mass
spectrometry showed that the binding-active sample contained
diglycosylceramides with phytosphingosine and 2-D hydroxy fatty acids with
16-24 carbon atoms in agreement with the results related above.

The R-spondin protein family 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The four vertebrate R-spondin proteins are secreted agonists of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. These proteins are approximately 35 kDa, and are characterized by two amino-terminal furin-like repeats, which are necessary and sufficient for Wnt signal potentiation, and a thrombospondin domain situated more towards the carboxyl terminus that can bind matrix glycosaminoglycans and/or proteoglycans. Although R-spondins are unable to initiate Wnt signaling, they can potently enhance responses to low-dose Wnt proteins. In humans, rare disruptions of the gene encoding R-spondin1 cause a syndrome of XX sex reversal (phenotypic male), palmoplantar keratosis (a thickening of the palms and soles caused by excess keratin formation) and predisposition to squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Mutations in the gene encoding R-spondin4 cause anonychia (absence or hypoplasia of nails on fingers and toes). Recently, leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor (Lgr)4, Lgr5 and Lgr6, three closely related orphans of the leucine-rich repeat family of G-protein-coupled receptors, have been identified as receptors for R-spondins. Lgr5 and Lgr6 are markers for adult stem cells. Because R-spondins are potent stimulators of adult stem cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro, these findings might guide the therapeutic use of R-spondins in regenerative medicine. 相似文献

In vitro biosynthesis, core glycosylation and membrane integration of opsin 总被引:10,自引:4,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文
A membrane-integrated , core-glycosylated form of bovine opsin was synthesized in vitro when bovine retina mRNA was translated in a wheat germ cell-free system supplemented with dog pancreas microsomal vesicles; glycosylation and integration of opsin into membranes were coupled to translation. Proteolysis with themolysin was used to probe the orientation of opsin within the dog pancreas microsomal membrane, and to compare it with that of opsin in rod cell disk membranes isolated from bovine retina. Intact microsomal or disk vesicles were required for production of discrete, membrane-associated thermolysin fragments of opsin; no discrete opsin fragments were detected when membranes were incubated with thermolysin in the presence of the nonionic detergent, Triton X-100. The major opsin fragments produced by themosylin treatment of intact microsomal vesicles resembled those from disk vesicles in their size, oligosaccharide content, and order of appearance. In each case, the first cleavage of opsin took place at the COOH-terminus, generating a glycosylated fragment, O’, which was only slightly smaller than intact opsin. Both the microsomal and disk membrane forms of O’ were next cleaved internally; glycosylated fragments of similar sizes in both cases were detected which were derived from the NH(2)-terminal portion of O’. Several smaller NH(2)-terminal fragments of opsin were detected only in thermolysin-treated microsomal membranes, and not in disk membranes. The data suggest that the topology of opsin integrated into dog pancreas microsomal vesicles is similar to that in rod cell disk vesicles, although not identical. In each case, the glycosylated NH(2)-terminal region of opsin is located within the lumen of the vesicle, while discrete COOH-terminal and internal segments of opsin apparently emerge at the outer, cytoplasmic face of the membrane. Thus, opsin in the heterologous microsomal membrane, like its counterpart in the native disk membrane, may cross the bilayer at least three times. The internal domain of the polypeptide that emerges at the outer membrane surface is apparently more highly exposed in the case of opsin in microsomal membranes, evidenced by the additional internal thermolysin cleavage sites detected. 相似文献

Attentional modulation of central odor processing 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
Two studies were conducted to investigate the influence of attention on the
components of the chemosensory event-related potential (CSERP). In the
first study the odors linalool and eugenol were delivered to six male
subjects, in the second study three male and two female subjects were
presented with their own body odor (axillary hair) and the body odor of a
same sex donor. In both studies the odors were presented in an oddball
paradigm under ignore and attend conditions via a constant- flow
olfactometer. In the ignore condition attention was diverted from the odors
with a distractor task, while in the attend condition the subjects were
asked to respond to the infrequently occurring odor. In both studies the
allocation of attention led to a decrease in the latency of the early
components (N1, P2, N2) and to an increase in the amplitude of the late
positivities. The modulation of the early components suggests that
attentional gating in olfaction might already be effective at an early
processing level.
