We investigated whether nitric oxide (NO) radical could inducephytoalexin production. Treatment of potato tuber tissues with1-hydroxy-2-oxo-3,3-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1-triazene (NOC-18), anNO-releasing compound, induced the accumulation of the potatophytoalexin rishitin. This induction was inhibited by carboxy-2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide(carboxy-PTIO), an NO-specific scavenger, or by Tiron, a radicalscavenger, suggesting a phytoalexin inducing activity for NO.

HL-60 cells transferred from serum-supplemented to serum-free culture medium initially bound to culture plate tightly and then released from the plate on increasing the culture time and resumed exponential growth after about 8 h lag. At the initial stage of the culture, the cells became extremely sensitive to 3-aminobenzamide, a potent inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, and, at 1 mM, 80 to 90% of the cells were lysed within 20 h, whereas the inhibitor was totally ineffective on the cell growth in serum-supplemented medium at the concentration. Non-inhibitory analogs of the inhibitor were ineffective. Assay of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity in permeable cells indicated that a transient activation of the enzyme occurred during the culture in serum-free medium (the maximum activation was observed at 8 h of the culture). The cells conditioned in serum-free medium for 24 h acquired significant resistancy to the inhibitor. A low concentration of fibronectin (5 to 10/ml) and a relatively high concentration of bovine serum albumin (0.5 to 1 mg/ml) effectively blocked the cell attachment to plate and also the 3-aminobenzamide-induced cell lysis. These results suggest that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is involved in a process essential for HL-60 cells to adapt to a serumdeprived growth condition. 相似文献
, a 3-O hexyl analogue of the octaosyl component of fungal lipooligosaccharide HS-142-1, was stereo- and regioselectively synthesized as a potent antagonist for the tetrameric atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors. 相似文献
), carrying the core structure of serine-linked cell-surface proteoglycans were synthesized in a stereocontrolled manner. The carbohydrate key imidate xylosyl donors 3 and glycotetraosyl donors 4 and 5, as well as a tetrapeptide glycosyl acceptor 6, were coupled in the crucial glycosylation step. In these reactions, the application of either trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) or borontrifluoride etherate (BF3-Et2O) as catalysts proved to be highly efficient. The serine linked glycopeptides 34, 36 and 37 thus obtained yielded target compounds 1 and 2 on complete deprotection. 相似文献
2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranoside (9) was synthesized in 6 steps from the readily available 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranose in 25% overall yield by employing the stannyl method for the regioselective activation of hydroxyl groups. Dibenzyl ether 9 was then glycosylated with appropriate glycosyl donors to afford lactosamine and chitobiose derivatives in good yield. 相似文献
A lactosaminyl donor, 3,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl)-β-d- glucopyranosyl chloride, was synthesized in 10 steps, starting from 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranose. Benzyl 3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-d-glucopyranoside was prepared by regioselective benzylation at the primary hydroxyl group by the stannyl method, and was used as a key intermediate. 相似文献
ABSTRACTRice blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae) is a disease devastating to rice. We have studied the Arabidopsis-P. oryzae pathosystem as a model system for nonhost resistance (NHR) and found that SOBIR1, but not BAK1, is a positive regulator of NHR to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis. AGB1 is also involved in NHR. However, the genetic interactions between SOBIR1, BAK1, and AGB1 are uncharacterized. In this study, we delineated the genetic interactions between SOBIR1, BAK1, and AGB1 in NHR to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis and found SOBIR1 and AGB1 independently control NHR to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis pen2-1 mutant plants. Furthermore, XLG2, but not TMM, has a positive role in penetration resistance to P. oryzae in Arabidopsis pen2-1 mutant plants. Our study characterized genetic interactions in Arabidopsis NHR.Abbreviations: PRR: pattern recognition receptor, RLK: receptor-like kinase, RLP: receptor-like protein, BAK1: BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE 1, BIR1: BAK1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 1, SOBIR1: SUPPRESSOR OF BIR1-1-1, AGB1: ARABIDOPSIS G PROTEIN ß-SUBUNIT 1, XLG2: EXTRA-LARGE G PROTEIN 2 相似文献
