A paucity of clinically applicable biomarkers to screen therapies in laboratory is a limitation in the development of countermeasures against cutaneous injuries by chemical weapon, sulfur mustard (SM), and its analog nitrogen mustard (NM). Consequently, we assessed NM-caused progression of clinical cutaneous lesions; notably, skin injury with NM is comparable to SM. Exposure of SKH-1 hairless and C57BL/6 (haired) mice to NM (3.2 mg) for 12–120 h caused clinical sequelae of toxicity, including microblister formation, edema, erythema, altered pigmentation, wounding, xerosis and scaly dry skin. These toxic effects of NM were similar in both mouse strains, except that wounding and altered pigmentation at 12–24 h and appearance of dry skin at 24 and 72 h post-NM exposure were more pronounced in C57BL/6 compared to SKH-1 mice. Conversely, edema, erythema and microblister formation were more prominent in SKH-1 than C57BL/6 mice at 24–72 h after NM exposure. In addition, 40–60% mortality was observed following 120 h of NM exposure in the both mouse strains. Overall, these toxic effects of NM are comparable to those reported in humans and other animal species with SM, and thus represent clinically-relevant cutaneous injury endpoints in screening and optimization of therapies for skin injuries by vesicating agents. 相似文献

Pseudomonas sp. strains C4, C5, and C6 utilize carbaryl as the sole source of carbon and energy. Identification of 1-naphthol, salicylate, and gentisate in the spent media; whole-cell O2 uptake on 1-naphthol, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene, salicylaldehyde, salicylate, and gentisate; and detection of key enzymes, viz, carbaryl hydrolase, 1-naphthol hydroxylase, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase, and gentisate dioxygenase, in the cell extract suggest that carbaryl is metabolized via 1-naphthol, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene, and gentisate. Here, we demonstrate 1-naphthol hydroxylase and 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase activities in the cell extracts of carbaryl-grown cells. 1-Naphthol hydroxylase is present in the membrane-free cytosolic fraction, requires NAD(P)H and flavin adenine dinucleotide, and has optimum activity in the pH range 7.5 to 8.0. Carbaryl-degrading enzymes are inducible, and maximum induction was observed with carbaryl. Based on these results, the proposed metabolic pathway is carbaryl → 1-naphthol → 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene → salicylaldehyde → salicylate → gentisate → maleylpyruvate. 相似文献

Efficient plant regeneration via shoot tip provided a basis for the optimization of the genetic transformation protocol. Therefore,
experiments were conducted to establish an efficient in vitro regeneration protocol in summer squash for genetic co-transformation.
6-benzylaminopurine at 0.05 mg l−l was found to be optimum concentration of direct regeneration from shoot tip. Effective root system was induced in shootlets
in indole-3-aceticacid 0.5 mg l−l. Two vectors namely pCAMBIA 2200 harboring marker gene nptII and pCAMBIA 0390 harboring gene, encoding C-repeat binding factor (cbf1) were used for co-transformation taking shoot tips as explants from in vitro germinated seeds. Explants were selected after
co-cultivation on kanamycin supplemented medium and shoots and roots were induced. The transgenic plants were confirmed by
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and further southern blot analysis confirmed the integration of nptII and cbf1 genes in genome of summer squash with co-transformation efficiency of 0.7 percent. 相似文献

Marker assisted selection (MAS) of resistant varieties is a reliable and faster method of selecting the right varieties for cultivation. The aim of the present study is to find the genes responsible for resistance in highly resistant varieties. In the present work we report the presence of a Resistance (R) gene of CC-NBS-LRR class of plant resistance genes. Both direct PCR amplification from genomic DNA as well as cDNAs, yielded a 0.6 kb DNA sequence indicating the absence of an intron. Sequence analysis of the PCR amplicon obtained from the genomic DNA showed very high homology to R-genes. An interesting observation from the present study is the presence of the R-gene in only resistant varieties. Neither the partially resistant or susceptible varieties showed the presence of this gene sequence. This in turn raises interesting questions on the evolution of these ginger varieties. The cloned R-genes provide a new resource of molecular markers for rapid identification of fusarium yellows resistant ginger varieties. 相似文献

C-terminal amidation is often a requisite structural feature for peptide hormone bio-activity. We report a chemical amidation method that converts peptide/protein thioesters into their corresponding C-terminal amides. The peptide/protein thioester is treated with 1-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-mercaptoethyl auxiliary (1b) in a native chemical ligation (NCL) reaction to form an intermediate, which upon removal of the auxiliary with TFA, yields the peptide/protein amide. We have demonstrated the general utility of the approach by successfully converting several synthetic peptide thioesters to peptide amides with high conversion rates. Preliminary results of converting a recombinant peptide thioester to its amide form are also reported. 相似文献

Import-Karyopherin or Importin proteins bind nuclear localization signals (NLSs) to mediate the import of proteins into the cell nucleus. Karyopherin β2 or Kapβ2, also known as Transportin, is a member of this transporter family responsible for the import of numerous RNA binding proteins. Kapβ2 recognizes a targeting signal termed the PY-NLS that lies within its cargos to target them through the nuclear pore complex. The recognition of PY-NLS by Kapβ2 is conserved throughout eukaryotes. Kap104, the Kapβ2 homolog in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, recognizes PY-NLSs in cargos Nab2, Hrp1, and Tfg2. We have determined the crystal structure of Kapβ2 bound to the PY-NLS of the mRNA processing protein Nab2 at 3.05-Å resolution. A seven-residue segment of the PY-NLS of Nab2 is observed to bind Kapβ2 in an extended conformation and occupies the same PY-NLS binding site observed in other Kapβ2·PY-NLS structures. 相似文献

Zinc accumulates in the synaptic vesicles of certain glutamatergic forebrain neurons and modulates neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity by multiple poorly understood mechanisms. Zinc directly inhibits NMDA-sensitive glutamate-gated channels by two separate mechanisms: high-affinity binding to N-terminal domains of GluN2A subunits reduces channel open probability, and low-affinity voltage-dependent binding to pore-lining residues blocks the channel. Insight into the high-affinity allosteric effect has been hampered by the receptor's complex gating; multiple, sometimes coupled, modulatory mechanisms; and practical difficulties in avoiding transient block by residual Mg2+. To sidestep these challenges, we examined how nanomolar zinc concentrations changed the gating kinetics of individual block-resistant receptors. We found that block-insensitive channels had lower intrinsic open probabilities but retained high sensitivity to zinc inhibition. Binding of zinc to these receptors resulted in longer closures and shorter openings within bursts of activity but had no effect on interburst intervals. Based on kinetic modeling of these data, we conclude that zinc-bound receptors have higher energy barriers to opening and less stable open states. We tested this model for its ability to predict zinc-dependent changes in macroscopic responses and to infer the impact of nanomolar zinc concentrations on synaptic currents mediated by 2A-type NMDA receptors. 相似文献

The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel pyrazole and imidazole carboxamides as CB1 antagonists are described. As a part of eastern amide SAR, various chemically diverse motifs were introduced on rimonabant template. The central pyrazole core was also replaced with its conformationally constrained motif and imidazole moieties. In general, a range of modifications were well tolerated. Several molecules with low- and sub-nanomolar potencies were identified as potent CB1 receptor antagonists. The in vivo proof of principle for weight loss is demonstrated with a lead compound in DIO mice model. 相似文献
