Chemisorption products of bifunctional amino acid vapours on the surface of silica and alumina have been studied by the method of infrared spectroscopy. On the basis of the analysis of spectral data it is supposed that heterogeneous polycondensation of amino acids with formation of peptides proceeds under these conditions. The supposition was confirmed by the study of products of interaction of amino acid vapours with silica and alumina by the method of fast atom bombardment mass-spectrometry. It is established that in contrast to alumina the condensation of amino acids into linear peptides on silica surface proceeds only at presence of at least small amounts of water. The most probable mechanisms of extending of peptide chains are proposed on the basis of obtained experimental data. 相似文献

The role of genetic factors in the development of chronic radiation disease (CRD), mostly caused by occupational external -exposure, was evaluated. The data of molecular genetic survey of a cohort of 985 workers at the nuclear power plant, the Mayak PA, were analyzed. Among the genetic markers tested, an association between the haptoglobin (Hp) genetic system and the development of CRD was established. It was demonstrated that the contribution of genetic factors to the CRD onset was realized not within the whole, but in a relatively narrow dose interval (70 to 400 cGy), i.e., was relative. Furthermore, at equal irradiation doses, relatively higher risk of CRD was observed among the Hp 2-2 phenotype carriers (1.96) compared to lower risk among the Hp 1-1 and Hp 2-1 phenotype carriers (0.64). It was shown that with the increase of the irradiation dose, genotypic differences in the CRD frequency decreased to the point of their complete disappearance. Comparison of the roles of the genetic factors in the onset of such deterministic irradiation effect as CRD, with their roles in the onset of lung cancer in tobacco smokers revealed similar patterns. A scheme of the relationships between the effector intensity and the differences in the genetically determined radioresistance is presented. The data obtained do not support the idea that the survivals of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the most radioresistant individuals, who are not representative for evaluating the radiation risk.Translated from Genetika, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 85–92.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Telnov. 相似文献

Overexpression of the yeaS gene encoding a protein belonging to the RhtB transporter family conferred upon cells resistance to glycyl-l-leucine, leucine analogues, several amino acids and their analogues. yeaS overexpression promoted leucine and, to a lesser extent, methionine and histidine accumulation by the respective producing strains. Our results indicate that yeaS encodes an exporter of leucine and some other structurally unrelated amino acids. The expression of yeaS (renamed leuE for "leucine export") was induced by leucine, l-alpha-amino-n-butyric acid and, to a lesser extent, by several other amino acids. The global regulator Lrp mediated this induction. 相似文献

Nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases of the Src family have been shown to play an important role in signal transduction as well as in regulation of microtubule protein interactions. Here we show that gamma-tubulin (gamma-Tb) in P19 embryonal carcinoma cells undergoing neuronal differentiation is phosphorylated and forms complexes with protein tyrosine kinases of the Src family, Src and Fyn. Elevated expression of both kinases during differentiation corresponded with increased level of proteins phosphorylated on tyrosine. Immunoprecipitation experiments with antibodies against Src, Fyn, gamma-tubulin, and with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody revealed that gamma-tubulin appeared in complexes with these kinases. In vitro kinase assays showed tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins in gamma-tubulin complexes isolated from differentiated cells. Pretreatment of cells with Src family selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2 reduced the amount of phosphorylated gamma-tubulin in the complexes. Binding experiments with recombinant SH2 and SH3 domains of Src and Fyn kinases revealed that protein complexes containing gamma-tubulin bound to SH2 domains and that these interactions were of SH2-phosphotyrosine type. The combined data suggest that Src family kinases might have an important role in the regulation of gamma-tubulin interaction with tubulin dimers or other proteins during neurogenesis. 相似文献

Transmission of energetic signals to membrane sensors, such as the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel, is vital for cellular adaptation to stress. Yet, cell compartmentation implies diffusional hindrances that hamper direct reception of cytosolic energetic signals. With high intracellular ATP levels, KATP channels may sense not bulk cytosolic, but rather local submembrane nucleotide concentrations set by membrane ATPases and phosphotransfer enzymes. Here, we analyzed the role of adenylate kinase and creatine kinase phosphotransfer reactions in energetic signal transmission over the strong diffusional barrier in the submembrane compartment, and translation of such signals into a nucleotide response detectable by KATP channels. Facilitated diffusion provided by creatine kinase and adenylate kinase phosphotransfer dissipated nucleotide gradients imposed by membrane ATPases, and shunted diffusional restrictions. Energetic signals, simulated as deviation of bulk ATP from its basal level, were amplified into an augmented nucleotide response in the submembrane space due to failure under stress of creatine kinase to facilitate nucleotide diffusion. Tuning of creatine kinase-dependent amplification of the nucleotide response was provided by adenylate kinase capable of adjusting the ATP/ADP ratio in the submembrane compartment securing adequate KATP channel response in accord with cellular metabolic demand. Thus, complementation between creatine kinase and adenylate kinase systems, here predicted by modeling and further supported experimentally, provides a mechanistic basis for metabolic sensor function governed by alterations in intracellular phosphotransfer fluxes. 相似文献

Brain inflammation is regulated by endogenous substances, including neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline (NA), which can increase anti-inflammatory genes. To identify NA-regulated, anti-inflammatory genes, we used TOGA (total gene expression analysis) to screen rat astrocyte-derived RNA. NA-inducible cDNA clone DST11 encodes an isoform of the complement C5a receptor (C5aR), with 39% identity at the amino acid level to the rat C5aR, and 56% identity to a recently described human C5aR variant termed C5L2 (complement 5a-like receptor). Quantitative PCR confirmed that in astrocytes, DST11 mRNA expression is increased by NA, whereas in vivo depletion of cortical NA reduced DST11 levels. Western blot analysis demonstrated basal and NA-induced expression of DST11 as a 45 kDa protein in primary astrocytes cultures. Immunocytochemical staining of adult rat brain revealed DST11-immunoreactivity throughout brain, co-localized to neurons and astrocytes. In astrocytes, induction of nitric oxide synthase type 2 was increased by treatment with antisense oligonucleotides to DST11. Reducing DST11 expression also increased nuclear factor kappaB reporter gene, and decreased cAMP response element reporter gene activation. These results demonstrate that DST11 is a C5aR isoform expressed by glia and neurons, which is regulated by NA, and exerts anti-inflammatory functions. Changes in DST11 levels in diseased brain could therefore contribute to the progression of inflammatory damage. 相似文献

The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) in glial cells is inhibited by neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine (NE) which elevate cAMP levels. We examined the molecular basis for this effect using a 2.2-kb fragment of the rat NOS2 promoter transfected into rat C6 glioma cells. Promoter activation (up to six-fold) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) was reduced by NE, which alone had no effect. However, a promoter construct extending to bp -130 and containing the proximal nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) binding site was minimally activated by LPS and cytokines, but activated up to three-fold by NE. Deletion analysis identified a 27-bp region (bp -187 to -160) as critical for mediating this suppressive effect. This region also enhanced promoter activation by LPS and cytokines, and prevented activation by NE alone. Gel shift analysis revealed constitutive binding to this region, and induction by NE of additional complexes which could be blocked by an antibody against CREB. NE also increased levels of the IkappaBalpha protein which could contribute to its suppressive effects. These results identify a critical role for this 27-bp region in regulation of NOS2 promoter activation and suppression by cAMP. 相似文献

Despite the existence of 10 avian paramyxovirus (APMV) serotypes, very little is known about the distribution, host species, and ecological factors affecting virus transmission. To better understand the relationship among these factors, we conducted APMV wild bird surveillance in regions of Ukraine suspected of being intercontinental (north to south and east to west) flyways. Surveillance for APMV was conducted in 6,735 wild birds representing 86 species and 8 different orders during 2006 to 2011 through different seasons. Twenty viruses were isolated and subsequently identified as APMV-1 (n = 9), APMV-4 (n = 4), APMV-6 (n = 3), and APMV-7 (n = 4). The highest isolation rate occurred during the autumn migration (0.61%), with viruses isolated from mallards, teals, dunlins, and a wigeon. The rate of isolation was lower during winter (December to March) (0.32%), with viruses isolated from ruddy shelducks, mallards, white-fronted geese, and a starling. During spring migration, nesting, and postnesting (April to August) no APMV strains were isolated out of 1,984 samples tested. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of four APMV-1 and two APMV-4 viruses showed that one APMV-1 virus belonging to class 1 was epidemiologically linked to viruses from China, three class II APMV-1 viruses were epidemiologically connected with viruses from Nigeria and Luxembourg, and one APMV-4 virus was related to goose viruses from Egypt. In summary, we have identified the wild bird species most likely to be infected with APMV, and our data support possible intercontinental transmission of APMVs by wild birds. 相似文献

Cytochrome bd is a terminal component of the respiratory chain of Escherichia coli catalyzing reduction of molecular oxygen to water. It contains three hemes, b558, b595, and d. The detailed spectroelectrochemical redox titration and numerical modeling of the data reveal significant redox interaction between the low-spin heme b558 and high-spin heme b595, whereas the interaction between heme d and either hemes b appears to be rather weak. However, the presence of heme d itself decreases much larger interaction between the two hemes b. Fitting the titration data with a model where redox interaction between the hemes is explicitly included makes it possible to extract individual absorption spectra of all hemes. The α- and β-band reduced-minus-oxidized difference spectra agree with the data published earlier ([22] J.G. Koland, M.J. Miller, R.B. Gennis, Potentiometric analysis of the purified cytochrome d terminal oxidase complex from Escherichia coli, Biochemistry 23 (1984) 1051-1056., and [23] R.M. Lorence, J.G. Koland, R.B. Gennis, Coulometric and spectroscopic analysis of the purified cytochrome d complex of Escherichia coli: evidence for the identification of “cytochrome a1” as cytochrome b595, Biochemistry 25 (1986) 2314-2321.). The Soret band spectra show λmax = 429.5 nm, λmin ≈ 413 nm (heme b558), λmax = 439 nm, λmin ≈ 400 ± 1 nm (heme b595), and λmax = 430 nm, λmin = 405 nm (heme d). The spectral contribution of heme d to the complex Soret band is much smaller than those of either hemes b; the Soret/α (ΔA430:ΔA629) ratio for heme d is 1.6. 相似文献
