Carbohydrates have been suggested to account for some IgE cross- reactions
between various plant, insect, and mollusk extracts, while some IgG
antibodies have been successfully raised against plant glycoproteins. A rat
monoclonal antibody raised against elderberry abscission tissue (YZ1/2.23)
and rabbit polyclonal antiserum against horseradish peroxidase were
screened for reactivity in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay against a
range of plant glycoproteins and extracts as well as neoglycoproteins, bee
venom phospholipase, and several animal glycoproteins. Of the
oligosaccharides tested, Man3XylFucGlcNAc2(MMXF3) derived from horseradish
peroxidase was the most potent inhibitor of the reactivity of both YZ1/2.23
and anti- horseradish peroxidase to native horseradish peroxidase
glycoprotein. The reactivity of YZ1/2. 23 and anti-horseradish peroxidase
against Sophora japonica lectin was most inhibited by a neoglycoconjugate
of bromelain glycopeptide cross-linked to bovine serum albumin, while the
defucosylated form of this conjugate was inactive as an inhibitor. A wide
range of plant extracts was found to react against YZ1/2.23 and
anti-horseradish peroxidase, with particularly high reactivities recorded
for grass pollen and nut extracts. All these reactivities were inhibitable
with the bromelain glycopeptide/bovine serum albumin conjugate. Bee venom
phospholipase and whole bee venom reacted weakly with YZ1/2.23 but more
strongly with anti-horseradish peroxidase in a manner inhibitable with the
bromelain glycopeptide/bovine serum albumin conjugate, while hemocyanin
from Helix pomatia reacted poorly with YZ1/2.23 but did react with
anti-horseradish peroxidase. It is concluded that the alpha1, 3-fucose
residue linked to the chitobiose core of plant glycoproteins is the most
important residue in the epitope recognized by the two antibodies studied,
but that the polyclonal anti-horseradish peroxidase antiserum also contains
antibody populations that recognize the xylose linked to the core mannose
of many plant and gastropod N-linked oligosaccharides.

Hypothesis: For any one time and place a ‘functional signature’ can be derived for a sample of herbaceous vegetation in a way that concisely represents the balance between the different clusters of functional attributes that are present among component species. Methods: We developed a spreadsheet‐based tool for calculating functional signatures within the context of the C‐S‐R system of plant functional types. We used the tool to calculate and compare signatures for specimen British vegetation samples which differed in management regime and location in time. Conclusion: The integrative power of the ‘C‐S‐R signature’ is useful in comparative studies involving widely differing samples. Movements in the signature can be used to indicate degree of resistance, resilience, eutrophication and dereliction. Systems of plant functional types other than C‐S‐R might also be approached in this way. Availability: The tool can be downloaded free of charge from the first author's web pages or from the journal's electronic archive. 相似文献

Systematic quantification of gene interactions by phenotypic array analysis 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0 下载免费PDF全文
A phenotypic array method, developed for quantifying cell growth, was applied to the haploid and homozygous diploid yeast deletion strain sets. A growth index was developed to screen for non-additive interacting effects between gene deletion and induced perturbations. From a genome screen for hydroxyurea (HU) chemical-genetic interactions, 298 haploid deletion strains were selected for further analysis. The strength of interactions was quantified using a wide range of HU concentrations affecting reference strain growth. The selectivity of interaction was determined by comparison with drugs targeting other cellular processes. Bio-modules were defined as gene clusters with shared strength and selectivity of interaction profiles. The functions and connectivity of modules involved in processes such as DNA repair, protein secretion and metabolic control were inferred from their respective gene composition. The work provides an example of, and a general experimental framework for, quantitative analysis of gene interaction networks that buffer cell growth. 相似文献

Molecular phylogenetic analyses have had a major impact on the classification of the green algal class Chlorophyceae, corroborating some previous evolutionary hypotheses, but primarily promoting new interpretations of morphological evolution. One set of morphological traits that feature prominently in green algal systematics is the absolute orientation of the flagellar apparatus in motile cells, which correlates strongly with taxonomic classes and orders. The order Sphaeropleales includes diverse green algae sharing the directly opposite (DO) flagellar apparatus orientation of their biflagellate motile cells. However, algae across sphaeroplealean families differ in specific components of the DO flagellar apparatus, and molecular phylogenetic studies often have failed to provide strong support for the monophyly of the order. To test the monophyly of Sphaeropleales and of taxa with the DO flagellar apparatus, we conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of 16 accessions representing all known families and diverse affiliated lineages within the order, with data from four plastid genes (psaA, psaB, psbC, rbcL) and one nuclear ribosomal gene (18S). Although single‐gene analyses varied in topology and support values, analysis of combined data strongly supported a monophyletic Sphaeropleales. Our results also corroborated previous phylogenetic hypotheses that were based on chloroplast genome data from relatively few taxa. Specifically, our data resolved Volvocales, algae possessing predominantly biflagellate motile cells with clockwise (CW) flagellar orientation, as the monophyletic sister lineage to Sphaeropleales, and an alliance of Chaetopeltidales, Chaetophorales, and Oedogoniales, orders having multiflagellate motile cells with distinct flagellar orientations involving the DO and CW forms. 相似文献

The taxonomy and phylogeny of Hyrcanian Alnus (eight taxa) were investigated using sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS and the chloroplast trnH-psbA intergenic spacer. The mean nucleotide compositions of the ITS region were completely equal for two main Hyrcanian taxa, and the ITS1 region had fewer variable sites than the ITS2 region. Two relatively distinct types of ITS2 were identified for two main clades of Hyrcanian Alnus, the A. subcoradata complex and A. glutinosa. Two recently described species, A. dolichocarpa and A. djavanshirii, did not show any diagnostic sites and had a similar pattern with A. subcordata. Three recognized subspecies of A. glutinosa were distributed in the A. incana complex. In the analysis of trnH-psbA sequence data, the three subgenera of Alnus were poorly resolved relative to one another. Alnus glutinosa had minimal sequence divergence from A. incana and A. tenuifolia, and A. subcordata had a minimum distance from A. cordata and A. orientalis. A maximum pairwise distance also was observed between Hyrcanian species (A. glutinosa and A. subcordata) with A. pendula and A. sieboldiana, respectively. Ultimately, the molecular phylogeny of Alnus based on two DNA barcode markers was not congruent with recent morphological classifications, so additional DNA markers should be explored for identifying Alder taxa in the Hyrcanian forest. 相似文献
