Coregulation of beta-galactoside uptake and hydrolysis by the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana 下载免费PDF全文
Regulation of the beta-galactoside transport system in response to growth substrates in the extremely thermophilic anaerobic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana was studied with the nonmetabolizable analog methyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (TMG) as the transport substrate. T. neapolitana cells grown on galactose or lactose accumulated TMG against a concentration gradient in an intracellular free sugar pool that was exchangeable with external galactose or lactose and showed induced levels of beta-galactosidase. Cells grown on glucose, maltose, or galactose plus glucose showed no capacity to accumulate TMG, though these cells carried out active transport of the nonmetabolizable glucose analog 2-deoxy-D-glucose. Glucose neither inhibited TMG uptake nor caused efflux of preaccumulated TMG; rather, glucose promoted TMG uptake by supplying metabolic energy. These data show that beta-D-galactosides are taken up by T. neapolitana via an active transport system that can be induced by galactose or lactose and repressed by glucose but which is not inhibited by glucose. Thus, the phenomenon of catabolite repression is present in T. neapolitana with respect to systems catalyzing both the transport and hydrolysis of beta-D-galactosides, but inducer exclusion and inducer expulsion, mechanisms that regulate permease activity, are not present. Regulation is manifest at the level of synthesis of the beta-galactoside transport system but not in the activity of the system. 相似文献

Trichinellosis is a serious disease with no satisfactory treatment. We aimed to
assess the effect of myrrh (Commiphora molmol) and, for the first
time, thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) against enteral
and encysted (parenteral) phases of Trichinella spiralis in mice
compared with albendazole, and detect their effect on inducible nitric oxide synthase
(iNOS) expression. Oral administration of 500 mg/kg of myrrh and thyme led to adult
reduction (90.9%, 79.4%), while 1,000 mg/kg led to larvae reduction (79.6%, 71.3%),
respectively. Administration of 50 mg/kg of albendazole resulted in adult and larvae
reduction (94.2%, 90.9%). Positive immunostaining of inflammatory cells infiltrating
intestinal mucosa and submucosa of all treated groups was detected. Myrrh-treated
mice showed the highest iNOS expression followed by albendazole, then thyme. On the
other hand, both myrrh and thyme-treated groups showed stronger iNOS expression of
inflammatory cells infiltrating and surrounding encapsulated T.
spiralis larvae than albendazole treated group. In conclusion, myrrh and
thyme extracts are highly effective against both phases of T.
spiralis and showed strong iNOS expressions, especially myrrh which could
be a promising alternative drug. This experiment provides a basis for further
exploration of this plant by isolation and retesting the active principles of both
extracts against different stages of T. spiralis. 相似文献

Blocking the QB‐binding site of photosystem II by tenuazonic acid,a non–host‐specific toxin of Alternaria alternata,activates singlet oxygen‐mediated and EXECUTER‐dependent signalling in Arabidopsis 下载免费PDF全文

Necrotrophic fungal pathogens produce toxic compounds that induce cell death in infected plants. Often, the primary targets of these toxins and the way a plant responds to them are not known. In the present work, the effect of tenuazonic acid (TeA), a non–host‐specific toxin of Alternaria alternata, on Arabidopsis thaliana has been analysed. TeA blocks the QB‐binding site at the acceptor side of photosystem II (PSII). As a result, charge recombination at the reaction centre (RC) of PSII is expected to enhance the formation of the excited triplet state of the RC chlorophyll that promotes generation of singlet oxygen (1O2). 1O2 activates a signalling pathway that depends on the two EXECUTER (EX) proteins EX1 and EX2 and triggers a programmed cell death response. In seedlings treated with TeA at half‐inhibition concentration 1O2‐mediated and EX‐dependent signalling is activated as indicated by the rapid and transient up‐regulation of 1O2‐responsive genes in wild type, and its suppression in ex1/ex2 mutants. Lesion formation occurs when seedlings are exposed to higher concentrations of TeA for a longer period of time. Under these conditions, the programmed cell death response triggered by 1O2‐mediated and EX‐dependent signalling is superimposed by other events that also contribute to lesion formation. 相似文献

Differences in single-copy nuclear-DNA sequences among 13 species of
passerine birds were measured using DNA-DNA hybridization. A matrix of
pairwise dissimilarity values (delta mode distances) was constructed from
analysis of fitted thermal dissociation curves. A least-squares method of
phylogenetic estimation was used to construct two topologies from the
distance matrix, one constraining branch lengths of sister taxa to be equal
and the other permitting such lengths to vary. These topologies were
identical in the pattern of branching of taxa, and the difference in their
sums of squares was not statistically significant, suggesting that rates of
DNA evolution in sister groups of nine- primaried oscines are equal. A
nonparametric test for nonrandom variation in distances of sister groups to
outgroup taxa revealed no statistically significant deviation from random
variation that would be expected as a result of measurement error. However,
the level of measurement error was such that rates of DNA evolution in
sister taxa could vary by as much as 10% without being detected with the
statistical methods used here.

14-3-3 proteins double the number of outward-rectifying K+ channels available for activation in tomato cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Outward-rectifying K+ channels are modulated in response to environmental stimuli by a range of intracellular factors, such as cytoplasmic Ca2+, pH, kinases and phosphatases. Here we report that voltage-dependent outward-rectifying K+ channels in tomato cells are also targets for modulation by 14-3-3 proteins. In whole-cell patch-clamp experiments, recombinant 14-3-3 protein (tomato isoform TFT7) was introduced into tomato cell protoplasts via the patch pipette. As a result the steady-state outward K+ current increased twofold and this increase was not dependent upon the presence of cytoplasmic ATP. A phosphorylated peptide that contained a phosphorylated 14-3-3 target-binding motif (RSTS*TP), derived from nitrate reductase, blocked the effect of 14-3-3, thus showing the specific nature of 14-3-3 action. Kinetic parameters of the conductance, like (de)activation kinetics, voltage dependence of gating and activation potential, were not significantly different between control and 14-3-3 infused cells. Analysis of single-channel activity and whole-cell noise indicated that the single-channel conductance was not affected by 14-3-3 infusion. We conclude that 14-3-3 proteins recruit 'sleepy' channels into a voltage-activatable state. The molecular mechanism underlying the 1 : 1 ratio of constitutively active and 14-3-3 recruited channels is discussed in the light of known functions of 14-3-3 dimers. 相似文献

Background
The use of self-report measurements in clinical settings is increasing. However, in patients with limitations that interfere with reliable self-assessment such as cognitive impairment or mood disturbances, as may be the case in multiple sclerosis (MS), data collection might be problematic. In these situations, information obtained from proxy respondents (e.g. partners) may replace self-ratings. The aim of this study was to examine the value of proxy ratings at separate points in time and to assess patient-proxy agreement on possible changes in disease impact of MS. 相似文献49.

This study aimed to compare the effects of different velocities of eccentric muscle actions on acute blood lactate and serum growth hormone (GH) concentrations following free weight bench press exercises performed by resistance-trained men. Sixteen healthy men were divided into two groups: slow eccentric velocity (SEV; n = 8) and fast eccentric velocity (FEV; n = 8). Both groups performed four sets of eight eccentric repetitions at an intensity of 70% of their one repetition maximum eccentric (1RMecc) test, with 2-minute rest intervals between sets. The eccentric velocity was controlled to 3 seconds per range of motion for SEV and 0.5 seconds for the FEV group. There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the kinetics of blood lactate removal (at 3, 6, 9, 15, and 20 min) and higher mean values for peak blood lactate (P = 0.001) for the SEV group (9.1 ± 0.5 mM) compared to the FEV group (6.1 ± 0.4 mM). Additionally, serum GH concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.001) at 15 minutes after bench press exercise in the SEV group (1.7 ± 0.6 ng · mL−1) relative to the FEV group (0.1 ± 0.0 ng · mL−1). In conclusion, the velocity of eccentric muscle action influences acute responses following bench press exercises performed by resistance-trained men using a slow velocity resulting in a greater metabolic stress and hormone response. 相似文献
