The neurite outgrowth and adhesion complex (NOAC), isolated from rabbit sera has been dissociated in its major components by reverse-phase chromatography in HPLC by using a C18 column. SDS-PAGE analisys of the active fractions revealed the presence of three major bands of approximately 100, 70 and 50 kDa. Studies on the biological activity of NOAC were carried out on rat cerebellar granule cells. NOAC-cultured cells exhibit a marked resistance to excitotoxic stimuli carried by glutamate. 相似文献

Molecular evolution of chloroplast DNA sequences 总被引:13,自引:1,他引:12
Comparative data on the evolution of chloroplast genes are reviewed. The
chloroplast genome has maintained a similar structural organization over
most plant taxa so far examined. Comparisons of nucleotide sequence
divergence among chloroplast genes reveals marked similarity across the
plant kingdom and beyond to the cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Estimates
of rates of nucleotide substitution indicate a synonymous rate of 1.1 x
10(-9) substitutions per site per year. Noncoding regions also appear to be
constrained in their evolution, although addition/deletion events are
common. There have also been evolutionary changes in the distribution of
introns in chloroplast encoded genes. Relative to mammalian mitochondrial
DNA, the chloroplast genome evolves at a conservative rate.

High nucleotide sequence variation in a region of low recombination in Drosophila simulans is consistent with the background selection model 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We surveyed nucleotide sequence variation at glucose dehydrogenase (Gld),
in a region of low recombination on chromosome 3R, from a population sample
of Drosophila simulans. The levels of nucleotide variation were
surprisingly high. There was no departure from the expectation of a neutral
model for the level of polymorphism, indicating no evidence of a selective
sweep in this region. There was a significant deficiency of singleton
polymorphisms according to the Fu and Li test, although Tajima and Hudson,
Kreitman, and Aguade (HKA) tests do not provide evidence of a significant
elevation of variation due to balancing selection. Genetic map data for the
D. simulans third chromosome were used to calculate expected values of pi
for Gld under a current model of background selection, varying the values
for the parameter sh (selection coefficient against deleterious mutations).
We show that the recombinational landscape of D. simulans is sufficiently
different from that of D. melanogaster that we expect higher variation
under the background selection model, even when effective population sizes
are assumed to be equal. The data for Gld were tested against the
predictions using computer simulations of the distribution of the number of
segregating sites conditioned on pi. Background selection alone can explain
our observations as long as sh is larger than 0.005 and species-level
effective population size is assumed to be several- fold larger than in D.
melanogaster. Alternatively, the deleterious mutation rate may be smaller
in D. simulans, or balancing selection may be acting nearby, thereby
reducing the effect of background selection.

Comparative evolutionary analysis of rDNA ITS regions in Drosophila 总被引:17,自引:2,他引:15
Schlotterer C; Hauser MT; von Haeseler A; Tautz D 《Molecular biology and evolution》1994,11(3):513-522
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA is generally
considered to be under low functional constraint, and it is therefore often
treated as a typical nonfunctional spacer sequence. We have analyzed the
ITS regions of five species from the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup, two
Drosophila species from outside this group (D. pseudoobscura and D.
virilis), as well as from the more distantly related dipteran fly Musca
domestica. The sequence comparisons show a distinctive
conservation/divergence pattern, indicating that some regions are more
conserved than others. Moreover, secondary-structure calculations indicate
several conserved structural elements within the ITS regions. On the other
hand, a statistical test that allows us to estimate the fraction of sites
that are not under selective constraint suggests that more than half of the
spacer is apparently free to diverge and evolves with a rate that is close
to the neutral rate of sequence evolution in Drosophila. The ITS sequences
can be used to derive a molecular phylogeny for the species under study. We
find that the ITS tree is largely in line with the so-far-known phylogeny
of this group of species, with one difference. The species most distant
within the D. melanogaster subgroup is D. yakuba, rather than D. orena, as
is normally assumed.

Background
Diets rich in whole grain are associated with several health benefits. Little is known however, about whole grain consumption patterns in Malaysia. The aim of this study was to assess whole grain intakes and dietary source in Malaysian children and adolescents.Methods
This analysis is from the MyBreakfast study, a national cross sectional study investigating eating habits among primary and secondary school children throughout Malaysia, conducted in 2013. Children (n = 5,165) and adolescents (n = 2,947) who completed two days of dietary assessment using a food record or recall respectively were included. The whole grain content of foods was estimated mainly through the use of quantitative ingredient declarations on food labels. All wholegrain foods were considered irrespective of the amount of whole grain they contained.Results
Overall, only 25% of children and 19% of adolescents were wholegrain consumers. Mean daily intakes in the total sample were 2.3g/d (SD 5.8g/d) in children and 1.7g/d (SD 4.7g/d) in adolescents and in the consumer’s only sample, mean intakes reached 9.1g/d (SD 8.6) and 9.2g/d (SD 7.1g/d) respectively. Wheat was the main grain source of whole grain while ready to eat breakfast cereals and hot cereals were the main food contributors. Less than 3% of the children and adolescents reached the US quantitative whole grain recommendation of 48g/day.Conclusion
Whole grain is consumed by only a minority of Malaysian children and adolescents and even among consumers, intakes are well below recommendations. Efforts are needed to firstly understand the barriers to whole grain consumption among Malaysian children in order to design effective health promotion initiatives to promote an increase in whole grain consumption. 相似文献49.

Background
Evidence suggests that dendritic cells accumulate in the lungs of COPD patients and correlate with disease severity. We investigated the importance of IL-1R1 and its ligands IL-1α and β to dendritic cell accumulation and maturation in response to cigarette smoke exposure.Methods
Mice were exposed to cigarette smoke using a whole body smoke exposure system. IL-1R1-, TLR4-, and IL-1α-deficient mice, as well as anti-IL-1α and anti-IL-1β blocking antibodies were used to study the importance of IL-1R1 and TLR4 to dendritic cell accumulation and activation.Results
Acute and chronic cigarette smoke exposure led to increased frequency of lung dendritic cells. Accumulation and activation of dendritic cells was IL-1R1/IL-1α dependent, but TLR4- and IL-1β-independent. Corroborating the cellular data, expression of CCL20, a potent dendritic cells chemoattractant, was IL-1R1/IL-1α-dependent. Studies using IL-1R1 bone marrow-chimeric mice revealed the importance of IL-1R1 signaling on lung structural cells for CCL20 expression. Consistent with the importance of dendritic cells in T cell activation, we observed decreased CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation in cigarette smoke-exposed IL-1R1-deficient mice.Conclusion
Our findings convey the importance of IL-1R1/IL-1α to the recruitment and activation of dendritic cells in response to cigarette smoke exposure. 相似文献50.
The recognition of gene/protein names in literature is one of the pivotal steps in the processing of biological literatures for information extraction
or data mining. We have compiled a lexicon of biomedical words (conserved patterns/ potential motifs) which has the combination of only 20
alphabets of amino acids. The remaining 6 letters of the English alphabets (B, J, O, U, X, Z) are treated as invalid amino acid characters (to our
context), We have jumbled the 6 letters for the sake of usage and convenience and termed as ’JUZBOX‘ and these characters were filtered in the
biomedical lexicon. Undoubtedly, the generation of biomedical words from protein sequence using JUZBOX have applications specific for
functional annotation.
