Bacteria isolated from symptomatic oat leaves included pseudomonads,Erwinia herbicola, and others.Pseudomonas coronafaciens was isolated predominantly from leaves with halo blight symptoms or necrotic spots. Leaves with red leaf symptoms yielded many types of bacteria, including saprophytic pseudomonads,P. syringae, E. herbicola, Bacillus sp.,Micrococcus sp.,Corynebacterium sp., a yeast, and other unidentified species. Only isolates ofP. coronafaciens were pathogenic on the plant hosts tested. The bacteria associated with red leaf symptoms exist as saprophytes and/or epiphytes on leaves with those symptoms. It is concluded that bacteria do not contribute to red leaf symptom development in oats, but symptomatic leaves provide an environment for their growth. 相似文献

Background
Extensive focus is placed on the comparative analyses of consensus genotypes in the study of West Nile virus (WNV) emergence. Few studies account for genetic change in the underlying WNV quasispecies population variants. These variants are not discernable in the consensus genome at the time of emergence, and the maintenance of mutation-selection equilibria of population variants is greatly underestimated. The emergence of lineage 1 WNV strains has been studied extensively, but recent epidemics caused by lineage 2 WNV strains in Hungary, Austria, Greece and Italy emphasizes the increasing importance of this lineage to public health. In this study we explored the quasispecies dynamics of minority variants that contribute to cell-tropism and host determination, i.e. the ability to infect different cell types or cells from different species from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data of a historic lineage 2 WNV strain.Results
Minority variants contributing to host cell membrane association persist in the viral population without contributing to the genetic change in the consensus genome. Minority variants are shown to maintain a stable mutation-selection equilibrium under positive selection, particularly in the capsid gene region.Conclusions
This study is the first to infer positive selection and the persistence of WNV haplotype variants that contribute to viral fitness without accompanying genetic change in the consensus genotype, documented solely from NGS sequence data. The approach used in this study streamlines the experimental design seeking viral minority variants accurately from NGS data whilst minimizing the influence of associated sequence error. 相似文献23.
Parent presence, delayed dispersal, and territory acquisition in the Seychelles warbler 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The presence of parents in the natal territory may play an important,but often overlooked, role in natal dispersal and the consequentacquisition of a territory. Living with parents in a territorymay confer a fitness advantage to subordinates through, forexample, the nepotistic behavior of the parents or indirectbenefits gained by helping to raise nondescendent kin. Whena parent is replaced by a stepparent, such advantages are reducedor disappear and, as a result, subordinates may disperse. Subordinatesthat disperse after parent replacement may be constrained intheir timing of dispersal, which could have negative fitnessconsequences. In the cooperatively breeding Seychelles warbler,we show that when a parent was naturally replaced or experimentallyremoved and subsequently replaced by a stepparent from outsidethe territory, subordinates were more likely to disperse thanwhen both parents remained in the natal territory. Furthermore,subordinates dispersing from territories in which one or bothparents had been replaced were less likely to acquire a breederposition than subordinates dispersing when both parents werestill on the natal territory. Our findings suggest that thepresence of parents in the natal territory may promote delayeddispersal and facilitate the eventual acquisition of a breederposition outside the natal territory. Our results support theidea that the prolonged parental care, which long-lived speciesare able to provide, may have selected for family living. 相似文献

In an isolated population of Drosophila melanogaster on Ishigaki Island the
chromosomal distribution of several retrotransposons, including copia, 412,
297, 17.6, I, and jockey elements, was examined by in situ hybridization.
In this population the cosmopolitan inversion, In(2L)t, is known to exist
in high frequency. One major haplotype concerning the occupied sites of the
transposable elements was identified in the In(2L)t-carrying chromosomes.
This haplotype is suggested to be the ancestral one. The age of the
inversion in this local population was estimated to be 1,400 generations.
The transposition rates of these elements were estimated based on the age
of the inversion and the number of the elements lost and gained. The
excision rates were in the range from 9.13 x 10(-5) to 2.25 x 10(-4) per
site per generation. They were similar each other in the copia-like
elements as well as in the LINE-like elements. The rate was higher in the
copia-like elements than in the LINE-like elements. Insertions occurred in
the range from 6.79 x 10(-4) to 9.05 x 10(-4) per element per generation.
It is herein shown that both insertions and excisions occurred at a
significantly higher rate in this population than in the laboratory.

Two soluble glycosyltransferases glycosylate less efficiently in vivo than their membrane bound counterparts 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Many Golgi glycosyltransferases are type II membrane proteins which are
cleaved to produce soluble forms that are released from cells. Cho and
Cummings recently reported that a soluble form of alpha1, 3-
galactosyltransferase was comparable to its membrane bound counterpart in
its ability to galactosylate newly synthesized glycoproteins (Cho,S.K. and
Cummings,R.D. (1997) J. Biol. Chem., 272, 13622-13628). To test the
generality of their findings, we compared the activities of the full length
and soluble forms of two such glycosyltransferases, ss1,4
N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GM2/GD2/ GA2 synthase; GalNAcT) and beta
galactoside alpha2,6 sialyltransferase (alpha2,6-ST; ST6Gal I), for
production of their glycoconjugate products in vivo . Unlike the full
length form of GalNAcT which produced ganglioside GM2 in transfected cells,
soluble GalNAcT did not produce detectable GM2 in vivo even though it
possessed in vitro GalNAcT activity comparable to that of full length
GalNAcT. When compared with cells expressing full length alpha2,6-ST, cells
expressing a soluble form of alpha2,6-ST contained 3-fold higher
alpha2,6-ST mRNA levels and secreted 7-fold greater alpha2,6-ST activity as
measured in vitro , but in striking contrast contained 2- to 4-fold less of
the alpha2,6-linked sialic acid moiety in cellular glycoproteins in vivo .
In summary these results suggest that unlike alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase
the soluble forms of these two glycosyltransferases are less efficient at
glycosylation of membrane proteins and lipids in vivo than their membrane
bound counterparts.

Background
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a standard immunoassay to estimate a protein's concentration in a sample. Deploying ELISA in a microarray format permits simultaneous estimation of the concentrations of numerous proteins in a small sample. These estimates, however, are uncertain due to processing error and biological variability. Evaluating estimation error is critical to interpreting biological significance and improving the ELISA microarray process. Estimation error evaluation must be automated to realize a reliable high-throughput ELISA microarray system. 相似文献27.
Cellular Compartmentalization of Herpesvirus Antigens During Viral Replication 总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
HEp-2 cells infected with herpes simplex virus develop five distinct immunofluorescent elements. Three (small nuclear granules, large nuclear granules, and an amorphous mass filling the nucleus) contain antigens which react with a rabbit serum prepared against boiled infected cell debris. A labeled pool of human antibody revealed antigens making up cytoplasmic granules and those responsible for a diffuse cytoplasmic fluorescence. All five immunofluorescent elements are demonstrable with a rabbit serum prepared against unheated infected cell debris. Viral antigens are segregated in the nucleus or in the cytoplasm; within the limits of detection, each antigen accumulates in one compartment only. The antigens responsible for the diffuse cytoplasmic fluorescence and for the amorphous nuclear mass are synthesized early in infection; they are formed in arginine-deprived cells and exist in a form which does not sediment on centrifugation at 79,000 x g for 2 hr. The antigens comprising the nuclear and cytoplasmic granules arise relatively late in infection; they are not formed in arginine-deprived cells, and they are readily sedimented on centrifugation at 79,000 x g for 2 hr. Heating (60 C for 2 hr) confers on one or more cytoplasmic viral antigens a new specificity; the altered antigens are demonstrable with labeled rabbit anti-boiled infected cell serum which normally does not combine with cytoplasmic antigens. 相似文献

The current study offers a comprehensive assessment of psychosocial functioning and academic performance in relation to circadian phase preference in a US sample of undergraduate college students (N?=?838), aged 17-26 (M?=?19.78, SD?=?1.89). Women had greater morning preference than men, and seniors had greater morning preference than freshmen. Circadian phase preference, fatigue, perceived stress, depression, anxiety, and substance use were assessed cross-sectionally and grade point average (GPA) was assessed prospectively. Evening phase preference was related to higher levels of fatigue, alcohol and caffeine use, and worse academic performance than morning or intermediate phase preferences. 相似文献

The light subunit of mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, tyrosinase (LSMT), has been identified as an extrinsic component of the enzyme. Its function is unknown, but it can cross an epithelial cell layer, which suggests that it can be absorbed by the intestine. A similar capability has been demonstrated for the HA-33 component of the progenitor toxin from Clostridium botulinum, which is the closest structural homolog of LSMT. Unlike HA-33, LSMT appears to be non-immunogenic as shown by preliminary tests in Swiss Webster mice. We investigated the immunogenicity and histopathology of LSMT in mice to determine its safety in vivo. LSMT did not evoke generation of antibodies after prolonged periods of intraperitoneal administration. Histopathological observations confirmed the absence of responses in organs after twelve weekly administrations of LSMT. We found that LSMT is not toxic and is less immunogenic than the C. botulinum HA-33 protein, which supports further research and development for pharmaceutical application. 相似文献
