Abstract In this study, newly synthesised compounds 6, 8, 10 and other compounds (1–5, 7 and 9) and their inhibitory properties against the human isoforms hCA I and hCA II were reported for the first time. Compounds 1–10 showed effective inhibition profiles with K I values in the range of 5.13–16.9?nM for hCA I and of 11.77–67.39?nM against hCA II, respectively. Molecular docking studies were also performed with Glide XP to get insight into the inhibitory activity and to evaluate the binding modes of the synthesised compounds to hCA I and II. More rigorous binding energy calculations using MM-GBSA protocol which agreed well with observed activities were then performed to improve the docking scores. Results of in silico calculations showed that all compounds obey drug likeness properties. The new compounds reported here might be promising lead compounds for the development of new potent inhibitors as alternatives to classical hCA inhibitors. 相似文献

We elucidate the mechanisms that lead to population shifts in the conformational states of calcium-loaded calmodulin (Ca2+-CaM). We design extensive molecular dynamics simulations to classify the effects that are responsible for adopting occupied conformations available in the ensemble of NMR structures. Electrostatic interactions amongst the different regions of the protein and with its vicinal water are herein mediated by lowering the ionic strength or the pH. Amino acid E31, which is one of the few charged residues whose ionization state is highly sensitive to pH differences in the physiological range, proves to be distinctive in its control of population shifts. E31A mutation at low ionic strength results in a distinct change from an extended to a compact Ca2+-CaM conformation within tens of nanoseconds, that otherwise occur on the time scales of microseconds. The kinked linker found in this particular compact form is observed in many of the target-bound forms of Ca2+-CaM, increasing the binding affinity. This mutation is unique in controlling C-lobe dynamics by affecting the fluctuations between the EF-hand motif helices. We also monitor the effect of the ionic strength on the conformational multiplicity of Ca2+-CaM. By lowering the ionic strength, the tendency of nonspecific anions in water to accumulate near the protein surface increases, especially in the vicinity of the linker. The change in the distribution of ions in the vicinal layer of water allows N- and C- lobes to span a wide variety of relative orientations that are otherwise not observed at physiological ionic strength. E31 protonation restores the conformations associated with physiological environmental conditions even at low ionic strength. 相似文献

The solution structure of an insecticidal toxin LaIT1, a 36-residue peptide with a unique amino-acid sequence and two disulfide bonds, isolated from the venom of the scorpion Liocheles australasiae was determined by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. Structural similarity search showed that LaIT1 exhibits an inhibitory cystine knot (ICK)-like fold, which usually contains three or more disulfide bonds. Mutational analysis has revealed that two Arg residues of LaIT1, Arg13 and Arg15, play significant roles in insecticidal activity. 相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum (Schlechtend.: Fr.) f. sp. melongenae (Fomg) recovered from symptomatic eggplants from five eggplant‐growing areas in Turkey, including the south, west, north‐west, north and south‐east regions. The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of the Fomg isolates from different geographical location by pathogenicity and VCG tests. Three hundred and seventy‐four Fomg isolates were classified as highly virulent, virulent, moderately virulent and low virulent through pathogenicity assays. No correlation was observed between virulence of Fomg isolates and their locations. The nitrate non‐utilizing mutants (nit) were generated as nit1, nit3 and NitM, based on phenotyping of Fomg growth characteristics of the Fomg isolates on diagnostic media with various sources of nitrogen. The majority of nit mutants (39.4%) recovered were nit1 from minimal medium (MM) containing of 2.0% potassium chlorate (MMC). The most of Fomg isolates were identified as heterokaryon self‐compatible (HSC) based on their ability to form a stable heterokaryon, while four isolates were classified as heterokaryon self‐incompatible (HSI). A large amount of Fomg isolates were vegetatively compatible and assigned as members of the same VCG, whereas nit mutants of 10 Fomg isolates that did not complement with tester strains only paired by themselves (HSC), these isolates were termed vegetative incompatible (vic). The complementation of 33 isolates with tester strains was slow and quite weak, but not paired with themselves even though they are HSC. About 96.3% of the Fomg isolates were assigned to VCG 0320, while the remaining 3.7% were classified as vegetative incompatible group. 相似文献

Many children with autistic spectrum disorders have unusual reactions to certain sensory stimuli. These reactions vary along a hyper- to hypo-responsivity continuum. For example, some children overreact to weak sensory input, but others do not respond negatively to even strong stimuli. It is typically assumed that this deviant responsivity is linked to sensitivity, although the particular stage of sensory processing affected is not known. Psychophysical vibrotactile thresholds of six male children (age: 8–12) who were diagnosed to have autistic spectrum disorders and six normal male children (age: 7–11) were measured by using a two-alternative forced-choice task. The tactile stimuli were sinusoidal displacements and they were applied on the terminal phalanx of the left middle finger of each subject. By using a forward-masking paradigm, 40- and 250-Hz thresholds of the Pacinian tactile channel and 40-Hz threshold of the Non-Pacinian I tactile channel were determined. There was no significant difference between the thresholds of autistic and normal children, and the autistic children had the same detection and masking mechanisms as the normal children. The sensory responsivity of each subject was tested by clinical questionnaires, which showed again no difference between the two subject groups. Furthermore, no significant correlations could be found between the questionnaire data and the psychophysical thresholds. However, there was a high correlation between the data from the tactile and emotional subsets of the questionnaires. These results support the hypothesis that the hyper- and hypo-responsivity to touch, which is sometimes observed in autistic spectrum disorders, is not a perceptual sensory problem, but may probably be emotional in origin. 相似文献

Aspergillus sojae, which is used in the making of koji, a characteristic Japanese food, is a potential candidate for the production of polygalacturonase
(PG) enzyme, which of a major industrial significance. In this study, fermentation data of an A. sojae system were modeled by multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) approaches to estimate PG activity
and biomass. Nutrient concentrations, agitation speed, inoculum ratio and final pH of the fermentation medium were used as
the inputs of the system. In addition to nutrient conditions, the final pH of the fermentation medium was also shown to be
an effective parameter in the estimation of biomass concentration. The ANN parameters, such as number of hidden neurons, epochs
and learning rate, were determined using a statistical approach. In the determination of network architecture, a cross-validation
technique was used to test the ANN models. Goodness-of-fit of the regression and ANN models was measured by the R
2 of cross-validated data and squared error of prediction. The PG activity and biomass were modeled with a 5-2-1 and 5-9-1
network topology, respectively. The models predicted enzyme activity with an R
2 of 0.84 and biomass with an R
2 value of 0.83, whereas the regression models predicted enzyme activity with an R
2 of 0.84 and biomass with an R
2 of 0.69. 相似文献

Background aimsMesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exhibit non-specific hematopoietic cell and/or stromal cell markers (e.g. CD73, CD105 and CD166) that have been used to identify MSC by flow cytometry. Because a neural glial antigen, NG2 (a progenitor cell marker in the central nervous system), is expressed by several tissue cells originating in the mesenchyme but not hematopoietic cells, it might be useful for isolating and identifying MSC. We investigated NG2 expression on culture-expanded MSC by flow cytometry.MethodsHuman bone marrow (BM) samples taken from 12 donors were cultured for MSC to be used in up to nine serial passages. Using flow cytometry, the neural glial antigen NG2 and commonly used MSC markers CD73, CD105 and CD166, were analyzed on the surface of culture-expanded MSC. The multipotential differentiation of the MSC was examined by adipogenic and osteogenic induction.ResultsThe percentage of cells positive for NG2 was similar to the percentages of cells positive for CD73, CD105 and CD166 in all passages of BM samples. The mean fluorescent intensities of NG2 did not change with culture passage. The MSC was successfully differentiated into adipogenic and osteogenic lines. The cells showed no karyotypic abnormalities.ConclusionsNG2 seems to be a promising marker for investigating the biology of MSC. 相似文献
