We have recently identified and classified a cystathionine ??-synthase domain containing protein family in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa L.). Based on the microarray and MPSS data, we have suggested their involvement in stress tolerance. In this study, we have characterized a rice protein of unknown function, OsCBSX4. This gene was found to be upregulated under high salinity, heavy metal, and oxidative stresses at seedling stage. Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing OsCBSX4 exhibited improved tolerance toward salinity, heavy metal, and oxidative stress. This enhanced stress tolerance in transgenic plants could directly be correlated with higher accumulation of OsCBSX4 protein. Transgenic plants could grow and set seeds under continuous presence of 150?mM NaCl. The total seed yield in WT plants was reduced by 80%, while in transgenic plants, it was reduced only by 15?C17%. The transgenic plants accumulated less Na+, especially in seeds and maintained higher net photosynthesis rate and Fv/Fm than WT plants under NaCl stress. Transgenic seedlings also accumulated significantly less H2O2 as compared to WT under salinity, heavy metal, and oxidative stress. OsCBSX4 overexpressing transgenic plants exhibit higher abiotic stress tolerance than WT plants suggesting its role in abiotic stress tolerance in plants. 相似文献

Background
Envelope (E) glycoprotein E2 of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) mediates binding of the virus to target cell receptors. Nevertheless, the precise role of E1 in viral entry remains elusive. 相似文献57.

The ability of particular cell surface glycoproteins to recycle and become
exposed to individual Golgi enzymes has been demonstrated. This study was
designed to determine whether endocytic trafficking includes significant
reentry into the overall oligosaccharide processing pathway. The Lec1
mutant of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells lack N -
acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-TI) activity resulting in surface
expression of incompletely processed Man5GlcNAc2 N -linked
oligosaccharides. An oligosaccharide tracer was created by exoglycosylation
of cell surface glycoproteins with purified porcine GlcNAc-TI and
UDP-[3H]GlcNAc. Upon reculturing, all cell surface glycoproteins that
acquired [3H]GlcNAc were acted upon by intracellular mannosidase II, the
next enzyme in the Golgi processing pathway of complex N -linked
oligosaccharides (t1/2= 3-4 h). That all radiolabeled cell surface
glycoproteins were included in this endocytic pathway indicates a common
intracellular compartment into which endocytosed cell surface glycoproteins
return. Significantly, no evidence was found for continued oligosaccharide
processing consistent with transit through the latter cisternae of the
Golgi apparatus. These data indicate that, although recycling plasma
membrane glycoproteins can be reexposed to individual Golgi-derived
enzymes, significant reentry into the overall contiguous processing pathway
is not evident.

Rabies virus glycoprotein is important in the biology and pathogenesis of
neurotropic rabies virus infection. This transmembrane glycoprotein is the
only viral protein on the surface of virus particles, is the viral
attachment protein that facilitates virus uptake by the infected cell, and
is the target of the host humoral immune response to infection. The
extracellular domain of this glycoprotein has N- glycosylation sequons at
Asn37, Asn247, and Asn319. Appropriate glycosylation of these sequons is
important in the expression of the glycoprotein. Soluble forms of rabies
virus glycoprotein were constructed by insertion of a stop codon just
external to the transmembrane domain. Using site-directed mutagenesis and
expression in transfected eukaryotic cells, it was possible to compare the
effects of site-specific glycosylation on the cell-surface expression and
secretion of transmembrane and soluble forms, respectively, of the same
glycoprotein. These studies yielded the surprising finding that although
any of the three sequons permitted cell surface expression of full-length
rabies virus glycoprotein, only the N-glycan at Asn319 permitted secretion
of soluble rabies virus glycoprotein. Despite its biological and medical
importance, it has not yet been possible to determine the crystal structure
of the full-length transmembrane form of rabies virus glycoprotein which
contains heterogeneous oligosaccharides. The current studies demonstrate
that a soluble form of rabies virus glycoprotein containing only one sequon
at Asn319 is efficiently secreted in the presence of the N-glycan
processing inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin. Thus, it is possible to purify
a conformationally relevant form of rabies virus glycoprotein that contains
only one N-glycan with a substantial reduction in its microheterogeneity.
This form of the glycoprotein may be particularly useful for future studies
aimed at elucidating the three-dimensional structure of this important
glycoprotein.

Despite the recent introduction of biological response modifiers and potent new small-molecule antirheumatic drugs, the efficacy of methotrexate is nearly unsurpassed in the treatment of inflammatory arthritis. Although methotrexate was first introduced as an antiproliferative agent that inhibits the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines for the therapy of malignancies, it is now clear that many of the anti-inflammatory effects of methotrexate are mediated by adenosine. This nucleoside, acting at one or more of its receptors, is a potent endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator. In confirmation of this mechanism of action, recent studies in both animals and patients suggest that adenosine-receptor antagonists, among which is caffeine, reverse or prevent the anti-inflammatory effects of methotrexate. 相似文献
