We present the first comprehensive analysis of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcribed genes in ten yeast genomes. This set includes all tRNA genes (tDNA) and genes coding for SNR6 (U6), SNR52, SCR1 and RPR1 RNA in the nine hemiascomycetes Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces castellii, Candida glabrata, Kluyveromyces waltii, Kluyveromyces lactis, Eremothecium gossypii, Debaryomyces hansenii, Candida albicans, Yarrowia lipolytica and the archiascomycete Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We systematically analysed sequence specificities of tRNA genes, polymorphism, variability of introns, gene redundancy and gene clustering. Analysis of decoding strategies showed that yeasts close to S.cerevisiae use bacterial decoding rules to read the Leu CUN and Arg CGN codons, in contrast to all other known Eukaryotes. In D.hansenii and C.albicans, we identified a novel tDNA-Leu (AAG), reading the Leu CUU/CUC/CUA codons with an unusual G at position 32. A systematic 'p-distance tree' using the 60 variable positions of the tRNA molecule revealed that most tDNAs cluster into amino acid-specific sub-trees, suggesting that, within hemiascomycetes, orthologous tDNAs are more closely related than paralogs. We finally determined the bipartite A- and B-box sequences recognized by TFIIIC. These minimal sequences are nearly conserved throughout hemiascomycetes and were satisfactorily retrieved at appropriate locations in other Pol III genes. 相似文献

The intraspecific variability of Artemisia herba‐alba and A. campestris essential oils and the evaluation of their antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities were determined. Artemisia herba‐alba essential oil was found rich in camphor (19.61%), α‐thujone (19.40%), β‐thujone (9.44%), chrysanthenone (9.26%), and trans‐sabinyl acetate (8.43%). The major compounds of A. campestris essential oil were germacrene D (16.38%), β‐pinene (16.33%), and limonene (9.17%). Significant variation in the essential oil composition was observed among populations of each species. The divergence between populations was attributed to the variation of some climatic factors such as altitude, annual rainfall, winter cold stress, summer precipitation, summer drought stress, evapotranspiration, and humidity. Artemisia herba‐alba and A. campestris essential oils exhibited promising antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities. The level of activity varied significantly according to the species and the essential oil. The highest scavenging activity (IC50 = 0.14 mg/ml) and the uppermost capacity to prevent β‐carotene bleaching (IC50 = 0.10 mg/ml) characterized A. campestris from population 6. A. campestris population 3 possessed the uppermost ability to reduce ferric ions (450.7 μmol Fe2+/g EO). The population 2 of A. campestris showed the strongest antiacetylcholinesterase activity (IC50 = 0.02 mg/ml). The variation of these activities between the essential oils was explained by their composition differences. 相似文献

According to the widely accepted view, neutrophil elastase (NE), a neutrophil-specific serine protease, is a major contributor to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection-associated host tissue inflammation and damage, which in severe cases can lead to death. Herein, we provide for the first time compelling evidence that the host rather employs NE to protect itself against P. aeruginosa infection. Using a clinically relevant model of pneumonia, targeted deficiency in NE increased the susceptibility of mice to P. aeruginosa. We found that NE was required for maximal intracellular killing of P. aeruginosa by neutrophils. In investigating the mechanism of NE-mediated killing of P. aeruginosa, we found that NE degraded the major outer membrane protein F, a protein with important functions, including porin activity, maintenance of structural integrity, and sensing of host immune system activation. Consistent with this, the use of an isogenic mutant deficient in outer membrane protein F negated the role of NE in host defense against P. aeruginosa infection. 相似文献

Nasturtium officinale R. Br. seedlings were treated with a range of NaCl concentrations (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM) for 21 days after seedling emergence. Physiological analysis based on growth and mineral nutrition, showed a substantial decrease in leaf dry matter with 150 mM NaCl treatment. The growth decrease was correlated with nutritional imbalance and a reduction in potassium accumulation and transport to the leaves. At the same time, we noted an increase in leaf sodium and chloride accumulation and transport. Salt tolerance of N. officinale under 100 mM NaCl was associated with osmotic adjustment via Na+ and Cl? and the maintenance of high K+/Na+ selectivity. Salt decreased carotenoid content more than chlorophylls and also disturbed membrane integrity by increasing malondialdehyde content and electrolyte leakage. At 150 mM NaCl, an increase in antioxidant enzyme-specific activities for superoxide dismutase, catalase and guaiacol peroxidase occurred in concert with a decrease in ascorbic acid, polyphenol, tannin and flavonoid content. These results indicate that N. officinale can maintain growth and natural antioxidant defense compounds such as, vitamin C, carotenoids, and polyphenols, when cultivated in 100 mM NaCl, but not at higher salt levels. 相似文献

Combined effect of light intensity and glucose concentration on Arthrospira platensis growth and photosynthetic response was evaluated using a 32 factorial design. This design was carried out with light levels of 50, 100, and 150 μmol photons m−2 s−1 and glucose concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 g L−1. Results from the response surface methodology were that the highest level of light intensity and glucose concentration improved
biomass (1.33 g L−1), maximum specific growth rate (0.49 day−1), and net photosynthetic rate (139.89 μmol O2 mg Chl−1 h−1). Furthermore, the interaction of both factors showed that at low light, glucose had a low effect on maximum biomass and
maximal net photosynthetic rate. However, at the highest light levels, the effect of glucose was more sensitive and the increase
of glucose concentration increased the levels of all responses. The rates of the instantaneous relative growth, net photosynthesis,
and dark respiration of growth cultures showed two different phases in mixotrophic condition. The first was distinguished
by the preponderance of the photoautotrophic mode; the second was based mainly on photoheterotrophy. 相似文献

Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL), also called primary vitreoretinal lymphomas, often masquerades as uveitis. This misdiagnosis can result in subsequent brain involvement and oculocerebral lymphoma (OCL). In this study, we sought to characterize the helper T-cell type 1 (Th1)/Th2 cytokine profile in vitreous samples from patients with PIOL, OCL, uveitis and controls with non-inflammatory disease. Vitreous and aqueous humor samples from 87 patients with PIOL (n = 30), OCL (n = 12), uveitis (n = 34), and retinal detachment (RD) without hemorrhage (n = 11) were analyzed and their concentrations of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were determined by flow cytometric bead arrays (CBA). The IL-10 levels determined by CBA were compared with those by ELISA. IL-10 concentrations measured by CBA and ELISA were highly correlated. IL-2, IL-4, and TNFα were not detected in any sample. The only cytokine detected at a significant level in samples from RD vitreous was IL-6. The IL-10/IL-6 ratio, as previously reported, was slightly higher in PIOL than in uveitis samples, but not for all patients. Cytokine profiles from PIOL and OCL samples did not differ. The combination of the IL-10/IL-6 and IL-10/IFNγ ratios was highly informative for discriminating PIOL/OCL from uveitis samples and for therapeutic follow up of PIOL. This strategy might be very helpful as an initial screening to rule out PIOL in patients thought to have uveitis. 相似文献

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L., cultivar Genovese) plants were grown in Hoagland solution with or without 50 mM NaCl or 25 mM Na2SO4. After 15 days of treatment, Na2SO4 slowed growth of plants as indicated by root, stem and leaf dry weight, root length, shoot height and leaf area, and the
effects were major of those induced by NaCl. Photosynthetic response was decreased more by chloride salinity than by sulphate.
No effects in both treatments on leaf chlorophyll content, maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry (F
v/F
m) and electron transport rate (ETR) were recorded. Therefore, an excess of energy following the limitation to CO2 photoassimilation and a down regulation of PSII photochemistry was monitored under NaCl, which displays mechanisms that play
a role in avoiding PSII photodamage able to dissipate this excess energy. Ionic composition (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) was affected to the same extent under both types of salinity, thus together with an increase in leaves Cl−, and roots SO4
2− in NaCl and Na2SO4-treated plants, respectively, may have resulted in the observed growth retardation (for Na2SO4 treatment) and photosynthesis activity inhibition (for NaCl treatment), suggesting that those effects seem to have been due
to the anionic component of the salts. 相似文献
