Potential toxicity of 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one to 20 bacterial species and two fungi and its inactivation under anaerobic conditions were investigated. Minimum inhibitory concentration for cellulolytic bacteria was in the range of 50-100 micrograms.mL-1, but at 100 micrograms.mL-1 of 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one, there was no effect on the growth of any of the noncellulolytic bacteria. Four noncellulolytic bacterial strains showed no inhibition of growth, even at 200 micrograms.mL-1 of this compound. Under anaerobic conditions and in the presence of cysteine, the long wavelength absorption band of this compound slowly shifted from about 434 to 320 nm, and its inhibitory effect on RNA synthesis was relieved after one-half of a generation time in cultures of cellulolytic ruminal bacteria. A similar shift of absorption band was observed in rumen fluid filtered through a 0.22-microns Millipore filter. It was concluded that protonation of 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one under anaerobic conditions present in the rumen would considerably reduce its potential toxicity to cellulolytic bacteria. 相似文献

Hypothesis: Huntingtin may function in membrane association and vesicular trafficking. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative genetic disorder that is caused by a CAG triplet-repeat expansion in the first exon of the IT15 gene. This CAG expansion results in polyglutamine expansion in the 350 kDa huntingtin protein. The exact function of huntingtin is unknown. Understanding the pathological triggers of mutant huntingtin, and distinguishing the cause of disease from downstream effects, is critical to designing therapeutic strategies and defining long- and short-term goals of therapy. Many studies that have sought to determine the functions of huntingtin by determining huntingtin's protein-protein interactions have been published. Through these studies, huntingtin has been seen to interact with a large number of proteins, and is likely a scaffolding protein for protein-protein interactions. Recently, using imaging, integrative proteomics, and cell biology, huntingtin has been defined as a membrane-associated protein, with activities related to axonal trafficking of vesicles and mitochondria. These functions have also been attributed to some huntingtin-interacting proteins. Additionally, discoveries of a membrane association domain and a palmitoylation site in huntingtin reinforce the fact that huntingtin is membrane associated. In Huntington's disease mouse and fly models, axonal vesicle trafficking is inhibited, and lack of proper uptake of neurotrophic factors may be an important pathological trigger leading to striatal cell death in Huntington's disease. Here we discuss recent advances from many independent groups and methodologies that are starting to resolve the elusive function of huntingtin in vesicle transport, and evidence that suggests that huntingtin may be directly involved in membrane interactions. 相似文献

Introduction
The existence of a graft-versus-lymphoma effect is well established. When lacking a firm diagnosis, however, the clinician is challenged to to weigh the potential benefits of the graft-versus-lymphoma effect against potential dangers of graft-versus-host disease as well as against generalized (viral) infections.Case presentation
We present evidence for a graft-versus-lymphoma effect in a 64-year-old caucasian woman with a transplanted peripheral blood-stem-cell graft from her Human Leukocyte Antigen-identical sister, and propose diagnostic measures to distinguish between graft-versus-host effect, and against viral disease or drug-induced reactions.Conclusion
We were able to identify an allogeneic graft-reaction against progressive lymphoma alongside an erythema consistent with acute graft-versus-host disease of the skin. Establishing a firm diagnosis enabled us to decide against T-cell suppression (such as by using cyclosporine). Anti-lymphoma activity was favoured, by means of the allogeneic graft, local radiation and immunotherapy. This illustrates the importance of a sound differential diagnosis of erythema after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, including assessment of viral disease of the affected tissue. 相似文献14.

Design and synthesis of pyrazolodihydropyrimidines as KV1.5 blockers led to the discovery of 7d as a potent and selective antagonist. This compound showed atrial selective prolongation of effective refractory period in rabbits and was selected for clinical development. 相似文献

Naturally occurring sympathetic neuron death is the result of two apoptotic signaling events: one normally suppressed by NGF/TrkA survival signals, and a second activated by the p75 neurotrophin receptor. Here we demonstrate that the p53 tumor suppressor protein, likely as induced by the MEKK-JNK pathway, is an essential component of both of these apoptotic signaling cascades. In cultured neonatal sympathetic neurons, p53 protein levels are elevated in response to both NGF withdrawal and p75NTR activation. NGF withdrawal also results in elevation of a known p53 target, the apoptotic protein Bax. Functional ablation of p53 using the adenovirus E1B55K protein inhibits neuronal apoptosis as induced by either NGF withdrawal or p75 activation. Direct stimulation of the MEKK-JNK pathway using activated MEKK1 has similar effects; p53 and Bax are increased and the subsequent neuronal apoptosis can be rescued by E1B55K. Expression of p53 in sympathetic neurons indicates that p53 functions downstream of JNK and upstream of Bax. Finally, when p53 levels are reduced or absent in p53+/− or p53−/− mice, naturally occurring sympathetic neuron death is inhibited. Thus, p53 is an essential common component of two receptor-mediated signal transduction cascades that converge on the MEKK-JNK pathway to regulate the developmental death of sympathetic neurons. 相似文献

The chemical synthesis of a series of new penam sulfone derivatives bearing a 2beta-substituted-oxyimino and -hydrazone substituents, their beta-lactamase inhibitory properties against selected enzymes representing class A and C beta-lactamases are reported. The oxime containing penam sulfones strongly inhibited the Escherichia coli TEM-1 and Klebsiella pneumoniae cefotaximase (CTX-1) enzymes, but moderately inhibited the Pseudomonas aeruginosa 46012 cephalosporinase; while the 2beta-substituted-hydrazone derivatives were generally less active against these enzymes. Furthermore, most of the inhibitors enhanced the antibacterial activities of piperacillin (PIP) and ceftazidime (CAZ) particularly against TEM-1 and CTX-1 producing bacterial strains. 相似文献

Previously disclosed C6 amido and benzimidazole dihydropyrazolopyrimidines were potent and selective blockers of IKur current. Syntheses and SAR for C6 triazolo and imidazo dihydropyrazolopyrimidines series are described. Trifluoromethylcyclohexyl N(1) triazole, compound 51, was identified as a potent and selective Kv1.5 inhibitor with an acceptable PK and liability profile. 相似文献

The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors replacing the classical cyanopyrrolidine P1 group with other small nitrogen heterocycles are described. A unique potency enhancement was achieved with beta-branched natural and unnatural amino acids, particularly adamantylglycines, linked to a (2S,3R)-2,3-methanopyrrolidine based scaffold. 相似文献

Presence of APUD-type cells in the ciliated cysts of the parathyroid glands of ozonized dog is described in this report. These cells were present on the abluminal side of the cyst wall and contained secretory granules with dense core, homogeneous matrix and coated vesicles throughout the cytoplasm. Intermixed with the granules were sheaves of microfilaments which were mostly seen in the perinuclear area. The APUD cells formed hemidesmosomes with the basal lamina. 相似文献

The p53 family member p63 is required for nonneural development, but has no known role in the nervous system. Here, we define an essential proapoptotic role for p63 during naturally occurring neuronal death. Sympathetic neurons express full-length TAp63 during the developmental death period, and TAp63 levels increase following NGF withdrawal. Overexpression of TAp63 causes neuronal apoptosis in the presence of NGF, while cultured p63-/- neurons are resistant to apoptosis following NGF withdrawal. TAp63 is also essential in vivo, since embryonic p63-/- mice display a deficit in naturally occurring sympathetic neuron death. While both TAp63 and p53 induce similar apoptotic signaling proteins and require BAX expression and function for their effects, TAp63 induces neuronal death in the absence of p53, but p53 requires coincident p63 expression for its proapoptotic actions. Thus, p63 is essential for developmental neuronal death, likely functioning both on its own, and as an obligate proapoptotic partner for p53. 相似文献
