In this work, a method for improved protein identification of low-abundance proteins using unstained gels, in combination with robotics and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry, has been developed and evaluated. Omitting the silver-staining process resulted in increased protein identification scores, an increase in the number of peptides observed in the MALDI mass spectrum, and improved quality of the tandem mass spectrometry data. 相似文献

- The recovery of terrestrial carnivores in Europe is a conservation success story. Initiatives focused on restoring top predators require information on how resident species may interact with the re‐introduced species as their interactions have the potential to alter food webs, yet such data are scarce for Europe.
- In this study, we assessed patterns of occupancy and interactions between three carnivore species in the Romanian Carpathians. Romania houses one of the few intact carnivore guilds in Europe, making it an ideal system to assess intraguild interactions and serve as a guide for reintroductions elsewhere.
- We used camera trap data from two seasons in Transylvanian forests to assess occupancy and co‐occurrence of carnivores using multispecies occupancy models.
- Mean occupancy in the study area was highest for lynx (Ψwinter = 0.76 95% CI: 0.42–0.92; Ψautumn = 0.71 CI: 0.38–0.84) and wolf (Ψwinter = 0.60 CI: 0.34–0.78; Ψautumn = 0.81 CI: 0.25–0.95) and lowest for wildcat (Ψwinter = 0.40 CI: 0.19–0.63; Ψautumn = 0.52 CI: 0.17–0.78)
- We found that marginal occupancy predictors for carnivores varied between seasons. We also found differences in predictors of co‐occurrence between seasons for both lynx‐wolf and wildcat‐wolf co‐occurrence. For both seasons, we found that conditional occupancy probabilities of all three species were higher when another species was present.
- Our results indicate that while there are seasonal differences in predictors of occupancy and co‐occurrence of the three species, co‐occurrence in our study area is high.
- Terrestrial carnivore recovery efforts are ongoing worldwide. Insights into interspecific relations between carnivore species are critical when considering the depauperate communities they are introduced in. Our work showcases that apex carnivore coexistence is possible, but dependent on protection afforded to forest habitats and their prey base.

Zusammenfassung In getrennten Versuchen wurde die Wirkung von ADP, Ca++, Mg++, K+ und Cu++ auf die Rotationsströmung in den Wurzelhaaren der Gerste (Hordetim vulgare L.) untersucht. Das in verschiedenen Konzentrationen fortdauernd verabreichte ADP bedingte eine Stimulation der Plasmaströmung. Die Beschleunigung der Rotationsströmung war der ADP-Konzentration gegenüber umgekehrt proportional (Abb. 3).Von den untersuchten Kationen hatte nur Ca++ (1·10–3 Mol) eine Stimulationswirkung. Diese Stimulationswirkung wird der Aktivierung eines Enzyms bzw. eines kontraktilen Proteins mit ATPase-Eigenschaften zugeschrieben.Die Rolle von ADP und einigen Kationen bei der Stimulation der Rotation wurde dann mit Hilfe einer gemischten Behandlung untersucht. Diese bestand in der gleichzeitigen Verabreichung von ADP (1·10–6 Mol) und CaCl2, MgCl2, KCl (1 · 10–3 Mol) oder CuCl2 (1·10–6 Mol). Es wurde festgestellt, daß Mg++ und Ca++ eine antagonistische Wirkung ausüben. Ca++ hebt die durch ADP induzierte Stimulation auf und reduziert die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit plötzlich bis auf den Kontrollwert. Die Mg++-Wirkung bewirkt, nach einer zeitweiligen Beibehaltung der Stimulation, ebenfalls eine Abnahme der Geschwindigkeit. K+ hat eine ähnliche Wirkung wie Ca++. Cu++ beeinträchtigt die ADP-induzierte Stimulation in geringem Maße.Die gleichzeitige Einwirkung von ADP und einigen Kationen erlaubt die Aufstellung folgender Hypothese. Die Rotationsstimulation erfolgt dank dem ATP, das auf Kosten des von außen absorbierten ADP in den Mitochondrien synthetisiert wird. Die zusätzliche ATP-Synthese kann durch gleichzeitige Ca++-Behandlung unterbunden werden. NachHanson und Mitarb, sollen Ca++ und ADP um ein phosphoryliertes Zwischenprodukt in Kompetition treten, so daß es zu einer Ansammlung von Ca++ und Pa in der Zelle kommt. Andererseits könnte teilweise auch die aktive, energieverbrauchende Salzabsorption die Geschwindigkeitsabnahme der Rotation bei gemischter Behandlung erklären.
The effect of ADP and some cations on rotational streaming in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) root hairs
Summary The effect of ADP, Ca++, Mg++, K+, and Cu++ upon rotational streaming within barley (Hordeum vulgäre L.) root hairs was separately studied. It was shown that various solutions of ADP may stimulate the streaming after continuous treatment. The rate increase of the rotational streaming was inverse proportional to ADP concentration (Fig. 3).From the investigated cations only Ca++ (1·10–3M) caused a stimulation of streaming after continuous treatment. This effect is probably due to enzymic activation of a contractile proteine which has ATPase feature.The role of ADP and of the investigated cations in the stimulation of the rotational streaming was studied by means of mixed treatment. This kind of treatment consists in a simultaneous administration of ADP (1 · 10–6M) and CaCl2, MgCl2, KCl (1 · 10–3M), or CuCl2 (1 · 10–6M) solutions. Ca++ and Mg++ showed an antagonistic action. Ca++ brings about an immediately suppress of ADP induced stimulation. Suddenly the rate of streaming comes back to control. Mg++ after a temporary maintaining of stimulation, also causes the lowering of the streaming. The action of K+ was very similar to those of Ca++. Cu++ changes to a little extent the stimulation caused by ADP.The simultaneous action of ADP and of the investigated cations allow us to express the following hypothesis. The stimulation of the rotational streaming after ADP treatment probably is due to ATP synthetized in mitochondria on the account of ADP. The additional synthesis of ATP can be prevented by simultaneous administration of Ca++. According toHanson and his coworkers Ca++ would compete with ADP for a phosphorylated intermediate product. From a such competition would result the Ca++ and Pi accumulation. The active uptake of salts which require energy would also explain the lowering of the rotational streaming rate after the mixed treatment.相似文献

Complexes of the types cis- and trans-Pt(amine)2I2 containing cyclic amines were synthesized and studied mainly by IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopies. The compounds were converted to cis- and trans-Pt(amine)2(NO3)2, which were also investigated. The hydrolysis and the aquation reactions of the latter compounds were then studied in D2O in different conditions of pH. In acidic medium, the aqueous product is [Pt(amine)2(D2O)2]2+ and for a few amines, [Pt(amine)2(D2O)(NO3)]+ was detected. In basic pH, the main product is Pt(amine)2(OD)2 and Pt(amine)2(OD)(NO3) was detected for several compounds. In neutral pH, the cis isomers form between two and four species in fresh solutions. The most shielded species in 195Pt NMR is the monoaqua-monohydroxo complex cis-[Pt(amine)2(D2O)(OD)]+ and the less shielded compound is the dihydroxo-bridged dimer [Pt(amine)2(μ-OD)2Pt(amine)2]2+, which were observed for all the compounds. For a few amines, the monohydroxo-bridged dimer [Pt(D2O)(amine)2(μ-OD)Pt(OD)(amine)2]2+ was detected and for cyclohexylamine, a fourth signal was assigned to a cyclic hydroxo-bridged trimer [(Pt(amine)2(μ-OD))3]3+. 195Pt NMR spectroscopy has shown that the concentration of the monomer decreases with time, while the concentration of the dimers increases. Only one product was observed for the trans isomers in neutral pH. The signal was assigned to the monoaqua-monohydroxo species trans-[Pt(amine)2(D2O)(OD)]+. The 13C and 1H NMR spectra of most of the complexes were measured. All the coupling constants 2,3J(195Pt-1H) and 2,3J(195Pt-13C) are larger in the cis compounds than in the trans isomers. 相似文献

The crystal structure of three head-to-head dimers (having two cholic acid or deoxycholic acid units) linked at carbon atoms C3 by aromatic or alkyl bridges is studied. An internal coordinates system is necessary for describing the relative orientation in the space of the two bile acid residues. Five angles (three torsion and two common ones) are necessary for defining the relative position of both steroid residues in space. Carbon atoms C3 (which always carries a α-hydroxy group in natural bile acids), and C10 and C13 (which always carry β-methyl groups) of each steroid residue are suitable for this purpose. Furthermore, the distance between each C3 carbon atoms of both steroid residues will allow one to locate the steroids in space. The three dimers selected provide a large range of values for these angles. The packing, hydrogen bond network, and location of guest in the three crystals are discussed. 相似文献

Ras proteins cycle between GDP-bound and GTP-bound states to modulate a diverse array of cellular growth processes. In this study, we have elucidated a mechanism by which nitric oxide, in the presence of oxygen (NO/O2), regulates Ras activity. We show that treatment of Ras with NO/O2 causes conversion of Ras-bound GDP into a free 463.3 Da nucleotide-nitration product. Mass and UV/visible spectroscopic analyses suggest that this nitration product is 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole diphosphate (NIm-DP), a degradation product of 5-nitro-GDP. These results indicate that NO/O2 mediates Ras guanine nucleotide exchange (GNE) by conversion of Ras-bound GDP into an unstable 5-nitro-GDP. 5-Nitro-GDP can be produced by radical-based reaction of the GDP guanine base with nitrogen dioxide (*NO2). We also provide evidence that the Ras Phe28 side-chain plays a key role in the formation of a NO/O2-induced Ras 5-nitro-GDP product. We previously proposed a mechanism of NO/O2-mediated Ras GNE, in which *NO2, formed by the reaction of NO with O2, generates a Ras Cys118 thiyl radical (Ras-S118) intermediate. In the present study, we provide evidence for a radical-based mechanism of NO/O2-mediated Ras GNE. According to this mechanism, reaction of NO with O2 produces *NO2. *NO2 then reacts with Ras to produce Ras-S118, which withdraws an electron from the Ras-bound guanine nucleotide base to produce a guanine nucleotide diphosphate cation radical (G(+)-DP) via the Phe28 side-chain. G(+)-DP is subsequently converted to a neutral radical, and can react with another *NO2 to produce 5-nitro-GDP. This radical-based reaction process disrupts key binding interactions between Ras and the guanine base, resulting in release of GDP from Ras and its conversion to free 5-nitro-GDP. This mechanism is likely to be common to other NKCD motif-containing Ras superfamily GTPases, as NO/O2 also facilitates GNE on the redox-active Rap1A and Rab3A GTPases. 相似文献

We have previously shown that redox agents including superoxide anion radical and nitrogen dioxide can react with GXXXXGK(S/T)C motif-containing GTPases (i.e., Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA) to stimulate guanine nucleotide release. We now show that the reaction of RhoA with redox agents leads to different functional consequences from that of Rac1 and Cdc42 due to the presence of an additional cysteine (GXXXCGK(S/T)C) in the RhoA redox-active motif. While reaction of redox agents with RhoA stimulates guanine nucleotide dissociation, RhoA is subsequently inactivated through formation of an intramolecular disulfide that prevents guanine nucleotide binding thereby causing RhoA inactivation. Thus, redox agents may function to downregulate RhoA activity under conditions that stimulate Rac1 and Cdc42 activity. The opposing functions of these GTPases may be due in part to their differential redox regulation. In addition, the results presented herein suggest that the platinated-chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin, which is known for targeting nucleic acids, reacts with RhoA to produce a RhoA thiol-cisplatin-thiol adduct, leading to inactivation of RhoA. Similarly, certain arsenic complexes (i.e., arsenate and arsenic trioxide) may inactivate RhoA by bridging the cysteine residues in the GXXXCGK(S/T)C motif. Thus, in addition to redox agents, platinated-chemotherapeutic agents and arsenic complexes may modulate the activity of GTPases containing the GXXXCGK(S/T)C motif (i.e., RhoA and RhoB). 相似文献

Prostate cancer is the third‐most common form of cancer in men in Romania. The Romanian unscreened population represents a good sample to study common genetic risk variants. However, a comprehensive analysis has not been conducted yet. Here, we report our replication efforts in a Romanian population of 979 cases and 1027 controls, for potential association of 34 literature‐reported single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with prostate cancer. We also examined whether any SNP was differentially associated with tumour grade or stage at diagnosis, with disease aggressiveness, and with the levels of PSA (prostate specific antigen). In the allelic analysis, we replicated the previously reported risk for 19 loci on 4q24, 6q25.3, 7p15.2, 8q24.21, 10q11.23, 10q26.13, 11p15.5, 11q13.2, 11q13.3. Statistically significant associations were replicated for other six SNPs only with a particular disease phenotype: low‐grade tumour and low PSA levels (rs1512268), high PSA levels (rs401681 and rs11649743), less aggressive cancers (rs1465618, rs721048, rs17021918). The strongest association of our tested SNP's with PSA in controls was for rs2735839, with 29% increase for each copy of the major allele G, consistent with previous results. Our results suggest that rs4962416, previously associated only with prostate cancer, is also associated with PSA levels, with 12% increase for each copy of the minor allele C. The study enabled the replication of the effect for the majority of previously reported genetic variants in a set of clinically relevant prostate cancers. This is the first replication study on these loci, known to associate with prostate cancer, in a Romanian population. 相似文献
