This study is an investigation on the Keratin of hair coming from 51 non-human Primates belonging to 11 families and 37 different
species, using isoelectric focusing on thin layer of polyacrylmide gel (0.5 mm) in pH range 2.5–7.0 followed by silver staining.
Our results highlight that animals belonging to the same species have identical isoelectrophoretic patterns. It was proved
forLemur fulvus, Macaca fascicularis, Cercopithecus aethiops, Gorilla gorilla.
Instead, regarding different species belonging to the same genus, we can say that the pattern obtained was not always characteristic
of the species to which the protein belonged. In fact, whereas some species of theCercopithecus, Macaca andPapio genus show significantly different patterns, other species ofCercopithecus, Macaca, Papio, Cebus andSaimiri show identifical patterns. On the other hand, patterns belonging to different genus nearly always showed more marked differences.
As for man, by means of this technique, it is possible to show a high number of polypeptides in the 3–4 pH range for non-human
Primates as well.
Thus, species belonging to different families and genus can always be distinguished; on the other hand, it is not always possible
for species of the same genus (e.g.Cebus, Papio). 相似文献

From a teleost fish, the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, we have cloned and sequenced cDNAs encoding five different type II keratins. The corresponding protein spots, as separated by 2D-PAGE of trout cytoskeletal preparations, have been identified by peptide mass mapping using MALDI mass spectrometry. Three of the sequenced keratins are expressed in the epidermis (subtype IIe), and two in simple epithelia and mesenchymal cells (subtype IIs). The IIs keratins are both orthologs of human K8. This leaves unsequenced only the trace component S3 of the biochemically established trout keratin catalog. A phylogenetic tree has been constructed from a multiple alignment of the rod domains of the new keratin sequences together with type II sequences from other vertebrates such as shark, zebrafish, and human; lamprey K8 (recently sequenced in our laboratory) has been used as outgroup. This tree suggests, in a highly bootstrap-supported manner, that the teleost IIe keratins diversified independently from the mammalian IIe keratins. In contrast, all the species investigated express K8-like keratins, suggesting that the different IIe branches evolved from K8-like progenitors. The tree also indicates that the published zebrafish sequences represent IIe keratins and that the biochemically identified K8 ortholog in zebrafish has not yet been sequenced. 相似文献

From the zebrafish Danio rerio, we have cDNA cloned and sequenced a novel type II and a novel type I keratin, termed DreK8 and DreK18, respectively. We identified DreK8/18 as the true orthologs of the human keratin pair K8/18 as follows: (i) MALDI-MS assignment to the biochemically identified K8 and K18 candidates that are co-expressed in simple epithelia and absent in epidermal keratinocytes; (ii) multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic tree analysis, showing that DreK8, within the phylogenetic tree of type II keratins, forms a highly bootstrap-supported branch together with K8 from goldfish and rainbow trout, whereas DreK18, within the phylogenetic tree of type I keratins, groups with the K18 sequences from all other vertebrates studied; (iii) presence of a conserved motif in the tail domain of DreK8 (VxKxxETxDGxxVSESSxV) that is typical for all hitherto sequenced K8 orthologs. Moreover, several zebrafish type II keratin sequences published by other authors have now been assigned to epidermal keratins, previously identified biochemically. 相似文献

Lizard scales are composed of alpha-(cyto-) keratins and beta-keratins. The characterization of the molecular weight and isoelectric point (pI) of alpha- and beta-keratins of lizard epidermis (Podarcis sicula) has been done by using two-dimensional electrophoresis, immunoblotting, and immunocytochemistry. Antibodies against cytokeratins, against a chicken scale beta-keratin or against lizard beta-keratin bands of 15-16 kDa, have been used to recognize alpha- and beta-keratins. Acid and basic cytokeratins of 42-67 kDa show a pI from 5.0 to 8.9. This indicates the presence of specific keratins for the formation of the stratum corneum. Main protein spots of beta-keratin at 15-17 kDa, and pI at 8.5, 8.2, and 6.7, and one spot at 10 kDa and pI at 7.3 were recognized. Therefore, beta-keratins are mainly basic proteins, and are used for the formation of the hard corneous layer of the epidermis. Ultrastructural immunocytochemistry confirms that beta-keratin is packed into large and dense bundles of beta-keratin cells of lizard epidermis. The use of a probe against a lizard beta-keratin in situ-hybridization studies confirms that the mRNA for beta-keratins is present in beta-cells and is localized around or even associated with beta-keratin filaments. 相似文献

Summary The human uterine cervix consists of an endocervical canal lined with a single layer of columnar mucus-secreting cells and
an outer ectocervix covered by a stratified squamous epithelium. We report here the culture of human endocervical epithelial
cells (HEnE) and human ectocervical epithelial cells (HEcE) in serum-free medium (KGM). Both HEnE and HEcE cultures were composed
of keratinocytelike cells which formed desmosomal contacts and stratified in the presence of high concentrations of calcium
ions. Cells with a pleomorphic epithelial morphology were observed in HEnE cultures, but not in HEcE cultures. Keratin 18,
which is characteristic of endocervix in vivo, was detected by indirect immunofluorescent staining in all HEnE cells but was
never detected in cultured HEcE. HEcE expressed keratin 13 which is characteristic of ectocervix in vivo. Although keratin
13 was never detected in primary HEnE cultures, it was expressed in passaged HEnE cultures grown in medium with high concentrations
of calcium and in late passage HEnE cultures. HEnE underwent an average of 15.1 population doublings during serial culture.
Mean colony-forming efficiency during Passages 2 to 3 was 14.7% and mean population doubling time was 17.8 h. HEcE cultures
underwent significantly more population doublings (29.0) than HEnE cultures, whereas colony-forming efficiencies and doubling
times were similar to those determined for HEnE. HEnE and HEcE cells may be useful in developing in vitro models of cervical
squamous metaplasia and for exploring the interactions between target cell differentiation, carcinogens, and papillomaviruses
in the development of cervical neoplasia.
