Modified nucleotides in Bacillus subtilis tRNA(Trp) hyperexpressed in Escherichia coli.

In the present study, modified nucleotides in the B. subtilis tRNA(Trp) cloned and hyperexpressed in E. coli have been identified by TLC and HPLC analyses. The modification patterns of the two isoacceptors of cloned B. subtilis tRNA(Trp) have been compared with those of native tRNA(Trp) from B. subtilis and from E. coli. The modifications of the A73 mutant of B. subtilis tRNA(Trp), which is inactive toward its cognate TrpRS, were also investigated. The results indicate the formation of the modified nucleotides S4U8, Gm18, D20, Cm32, i6A/ms2i6A37, T54 and psi 55 on cloned B. subtilis tRNA(Trp). This modification pattern resembles the pattern of E. coli tRNA(Trp), except that m7G is missing from the cloned tRNA(Trp), probably on account of its short extra loop. In contrast, the pattern departs substantially from that of native B. subtilis tRNA(Trp). Therefore, the cloned B. subtilis tRNA(Trp) has taken on largely the modification pattern of E. coli tRNA(Trp) despite the 26% sequence difference between the two species of tRNA, gaining in particular the Cm32 and Gm18 modifications from the E. coli host. A notable difference between the isoacceptors of the cloned tRNA(Trp) was seen in the extent of modification of A37, which occurred as either the hypomodified i6A or the hypermodified ms2i6A form. Surprisingly, base substitution of guanosine by adenosine at position 73 of the cloned tRNA(Trp) has led to the abolition of the 2'-O-methylation modification of the remote G18 residue.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Upper Airway Changes after Protraction Headgear and Rapid Maxillary Expansion Treatment

Clinically, it is common for Class III patients with maxillary skeletal deficiency, which may result in a variety of adverse consequences. Protraction headgear and rapid maxillary expansion (PE) is an effective treatment, but its effect on upper airway hydrodynamics has not been reported. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of the flow in the upper airway after PE by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The sample includes fifteen patients (6 males, 9 females, age 11.00 ± 1.00) and the paired T-test was used to analyze the differences between the measured data before and after treatment. The maximum flow velocity decreased from 8.42 ± 0.16 m/s to 6.98 ± 0.36 m/s (p < 0.05), and the maximum shear force decreased from 3.72 ± 1.48 Pa to 2.13 ± 0.18 Pa. The maximum negative pressure decreased from −101.78 ± 33.60 Pa to 58.15 ± 9.16 Pa, only the changes of velopharynx and glossopharynx were statistically significant; while the maximum resistance decreased from 140.88 ± 68.68 Pa/mL/s to 45.95 ± 22.96 Pa/mL/s. PE can effectively reduce the airflow resistance of the upper airway and the probability of airway collapse, thus improving the patient’s ventilation function.     

TTLL11 gene is associated with sustained attention performance and brain networks: A genome-wide association study of a healthy Chinese sample

Genetic studies on attention have mainly focused on children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), so little systematic research has been conducted on genetic correlates of attention performance and their potential brain mechanisms among healthy individuals. The current study included a genome-wide association study (GWAS, N = 1145 healthy young adults) aimed to identify genes associated with sustained attention and an imaging genetics study (an independent sample of 483 healthy young adults) to examine any identified genes' influences on brain function. The GWAS found that TTLL11 showed genome-wide significant associations with sustained attention, with rs13298112 as the most significant SNP and the GG homozygotes showing more impulsive but also more focused responses than the A allele carriers. A retrospective examination of previously published ADHD GWAS results confirmed an un-reported, small but statistically significant effect of TTLL11 on ADHD. The imaging genetics study replicated this association and showed that the TTLL11 gene was associated with resting state activity and connectivity of the somatomoter network, and can be predicted by dorsal attention network connectivity. Specifically, the GG homozygotes showed lower brain activity, weaker brain network connectivity, and non-significant brain-attention association compared to the A allele carriers. Expression database showed that expression of this gene is enriched in the brain and that the G allele is associated with lower expression level than the A allele. These results suggest that TTLL11 may play a major role in healthy individuals' attention performance and may also contribute to the etiology of ADHD.     

Two New C19-Diterpenoid Alkaloids from Delphinium shawurense

Shawurenine C ( 1a ) and D ( 1b ), a new pair of regioisomeric C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloids, and five known C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloids ( 2 – 6 ) were isolated from the aerial part of Delphinium shawurense W. T. Wang. The chemical structures of new compounds were established based on spectroscopic analyses: HR-ESI-MS, and 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of these diterpenoid alkaloids were also evaluated.
