A large sample of more than 100 teeth of the titanosaurian sauropod Lirainosaurus astibiae from the Late Cretaceous Laño quarry (Northern Spain) has been studied. Most of the teeth are small (crown height less than 13 mm), cylindrical, with parallel edges and smooth enamel; a few larger teeth are tapered and have more ornamented enamel. These differences are regarded here as ontogenetic changes, the small teeth being interpreted as those of juveniles and the large ones as those of subadult or adult individuals. The juvenile teeth also present some differences in the apex of the crown: some of them have a tapered tip, and others have apical and/or mesial/distal facets. The first are probably unerupted or non-functional teeth, while the ones with wear facets are functional teeth. This is the first time a change in the microwear structures of the apical wear facets between juvenile and adult teeth is observed in a titanosaurian taxon. Moreover, this let us to hypothesize a switch in the diet and food processing between the juvenile and adult individuals of Lirainosaurus. Finally, the teeth of Lirainosaurus are different from those of the Late Cretaceous European titanosaurs described to date and also differ from the teeth of basal titanosauriforms from the Early Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula. 相似文献

Geographic surveys of allozymes, microsatellites, nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have detected several genetic subdivisions among European anchovy populations. However, these studies have been limited in their power to detect some aspects of population structure by the use of a single or a few molecular markers, or by limited geographic sampling. We use a multi-marker approach, 47 nDNA and 15 mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to analyze 626 European anchovies from the whole range of the species to resolve shallow and deep levels of population structure. Nuclear SNPs define 10 genetic entities within two larger genetically distinctive groups associated with oceanic variables and different life-history traits. MtDNA SNPs define two deep phylogroups that reflect ancient dispersals and colonizations. These markers define two ecological groups. One major group of Iberian-Atlantic populations is associated with upwelling areas on narrow continental shelves and includes populations spawning and overwintering in coastal areas. A second major group includes northern populations in the North East (NE) Atlantic (including the Bay of Biscay) and the Mediterranean and is associated with wide continental shelves with local larval retention currents. This group tends to spawn and overwinter in oceanic areas. These two groups encompass ten populations that differ from previously defined management stocks in the Alboran Sea, Iberian-Atlantic and Bay of Biscay regions. In addition, a new North Sea-English Channel stock is defined. SNPs indicate that some populations in the Bay of Biscay are genetically closer to North Western (NW) Mediterranean populations than to other populations in the NE Atlantic, likely due to colonizations of the Bay of Biscay and NW Mediterranean by migrants from a common ancestral population. Northern NE Atlantic populations were subsequently established by migrants from the Bay of Biscay. Populations along the Iberian-Atlantic coast appear to have been founded by secondary waves of migrants from a southern refuge. 相似文献

Acute myeloid leukemia patients with normal cytogenetics (CN-AML) account for almost half of AML cases. We aimed to study the frequency and relationship of a wide range of genes previously reported as mutated in AML (ASXL1, NPM1, FLT3, TET2, IDH1/2, RUNX1, DNMT3A, NRAS, JAK2, WT1, CBL, SF3B1, TP53, KRAS and MPL) in a series of 84 CN-AML cases. The most frequently mutated genes in primary cases were NPM1 (60.8%) and FLT3 (50.0%), and in secondary cases ASXL1 (48.5%) and TET2 (30.3%). We showed that 85% of CN-AML patients have mutations in at least one of ASXL1, NPM1, FLT3, TET2, IDH1/2 and/or RUNX1. Serial samples from 19 MDS/CMML cases that progressed to AML were analyzed for ASXL1/TET2/IDH1/2 mutations; seventeen cases presented mutations of at least one of these genes. However, there was no consistent pattern in mutation acquisition during disease progression. This report concerns the analysis of the largest number of gene mutations in CN-AML studied to date, and provides insight into the mutational profile of CN-AML. 相似文献

The accuracy of ribosomal translation is achieved by an initial selection and a proofreading step, mediated by EF-Tu, which forms a ternary complex with aminoacyl(aa)-tRNA. To study the binding modes of different aa-tRNAs, we compared cryo-EM maps of the kirromycin-stalled ribosome bound with ternary complexes containing Phe-tRNAPhe, Trp-tRNATrp, or Leu-tRNALeuI. The three maps suggest a common binding manner of cognate aa-tRNAs in their specific binding with both the ribosome and EF-Tu. All three aa-tRNAs have the same ‘loaded spring' conformation with a kink and twist between the D-stem and anticodon stem. The three complexes are similarly integrated in an interaction network, extending from the anticodon loop through h44 and protein S12 to the EF-Tu-binding CCA end of aa-tRNA, proposed to signal cognate codon–anticodon interaction to the GTPase centre and tune the accuracy of aa-tRNA selection. 相似文献

The influence of temperature (T) and initial gut contents onestimates of copepod gut clearance rate constant (GCRC) is reviewedfrom literature data. Previous results on the relationship betweentemperature and GCRC are confirmed, and the inclusion of initialgut contents did not increase the significance of the model.Nevertheless, a significant difference was found between theexperiments performed with pre-fed animals and animals fromthe environment. A high percentage of variability remains unexplained,but part of this is likely to be due to experimental error anddiffer ences in the methods used. 相似文献

Background
Candida can be implicated in the pathology of chronic periodontitis.Aims
To analyze the oral Candida carriage in patients suffering from chronic periodontitis (CP) and its correlation with the severity of this condition.Methods
Microbiological samples were taken from 155 patients using the oral rinse (OR) technique and by using paper points in the periodontal pockets (GPP). These patients were divided into 3 groups: 89 patients without CP (control), 47 with moderate CP, and 19 with severe CP. Samples were cultured in a Candida chromogenic agar for Candida. Species were identified by microbiological and molecular methods.Results
Candida was isolated in the OR of 45 (50.6%), 21 (44.7%), and 11 (57.9%) patients, respectively, and in the GPP of 32 (36%), 14 (29.2%), and 10 (42.6%) patients from the control, moderate CP and severe CP groups, respectively. Candida was isolated more frequently and in a greater burden in OR than in GPP (p < 0.01). Candida albicans was the most prevalent species. GPP of patients with CP had poor fungal biodiversity (p < 0.01).Conclusions
Colonization by Candida was present in the samples of patients without CP, and with both moderate and severe CP. Nonetheless, patients with severe CP had a higher rate of Candida colonization, especially by C. albicans. 相似文献28.

We have analysed the daily egg production (EPR) and hatchingsuccess rates of the calanoid copepods Calanoides carinatusand Rhincalanus nasutus as a function of nano- and microplanktonconcentration and composition in the northern Benguela upwellingsystem off Namibia. Food concentration explained 55% (R. nasutus)to 62% (C. carinatus) of the EPR variability. We found no relationbetween the residuals of the food concentrationEPR regressionand the percentage of the different taxonomic components ofthe nano- and microplankton. Nor was there a relation with theproportion of the diatom Skeletonema costatum that dominatedthe major blooms or with the number of nano- and microplanktonspecies. We conclude that food quality differences could notbe attributed to the relative composition of microplanktonicparticles of the different groups (i.e. taxonomic composition). 相似文献
