In this paper, we study the effect of introducing a delay in a model of cell proliferation considered originally by O. Arino and M. Kimmel (J. Math. Biol. 27, 341–354 (1989)). We prove that slow oscillations take place and periodic oscillations appear for appropriate values of a parameter. 相似文献

Three new polyketides (-)-1 , (+)-1 , and 2 ) were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the fungus Embellisia eureka, an endophyte of the Moroccan plant Cladanthus arabicus (Asteraceae). The structures of these new compounds were determined on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy as well as by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The absolute configurations of (-)-1 , (+)-1 , and 2 were determined by TDDFT ECD calculations of solution conformers, online HPLC-ECD analysis, and the modified Mosher method.

Periplasmic adaptor proteins are essential components of bacterial tripartite multidrug efflux pumps. Here we report the 2.35 Å resolution crystal structure of the BesA adaptor from the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi solved using selenomethionine derivatized protein. BesA shows the archetypal linear, flexible, multi-domain architecture evident among proteobacteria and retains the lipoyl, β-barrel and membrane-proximal domains that interact with the periplasmic domains of the inner membrane transporter. However, it lacks the α-hairpin domain shown to establish extensive coiled-coil interactions with the periplasmic entrance helices of the outer membrane-anchored TolC exit duct. This has implications for the modelling of assembled tripartite efflux pumps. 相似文献

Thiomandelic acid is a simple, broad spectrum, and reasonably potent inhibitor of metallo-beta-lactamases, enzymes that mediate resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. We report studies by NMR and perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy of the mode of binding of the R and S enantiomers of thiomandelic acid, focusing on their interaction with the two metal ions in cadmium-substituted Bacillus cereus metallo-beta-lactamase. The 113Cd resonances are specifically assigned to the metals in the two individual sites on the protein by using 113Cd-edited 1H NMR spectra. Each enantiomer of thiomandelate produces large downfield shifts of both 113Cd resonances and changes in the PAC spectra, which indicate that they bind such that the thiol of the inhibitor bridges between the two metals. For R-thiomandelate, this is unambiguously confirmed by the observation of scalar coupling between Halpha of the inhibitor and both cadmium ions. The NMR and PAC spectra reveal that the two chiral forms of the inhibitor differ in the details of their coordination geometry. The complex with R-thiomandelate, but not that with the S-enantiomer, shows evidence in the PAC spectra of a dynamic process in the nanosecond time regime, the possible nature of which is discussed. The thiomandelate complex of the mononuclear enzyme can be detected only at low metal to enzyme stoichiometry; the relative populations of mononuclear and binuclear enzyme as a function of cadmium concentration provide clear evidence for positive cooperativity in metal ion binding in the presence of the inhibitor, in contrast to the negative cooperativity observed in the free enzyme. 相似文献

In search of immunomodulatory constituents from the Eastern Nigeria mistletoe, Loranthus micranthus Linn, two new stigmastane steroids: stigmast-7,20 (21)-diene-3β-hydroxy-6-one (1) and 3β-hydroxy-stigmast-23-ene (2); three (two new and one known) lupeol-based triterpenoid esters: 7β,15α-dihydroxyl-lup-20(29)-ene-3β-palmitate (3), 7β,15α-dihydroxyl-lup-20(29)-ene-3β-stearate (4) and 7β,15α-dihydroxyl-lup-20(29)-ene-3β-eicosanoate (5) were isolated and characterized following bioactivity-guided fractionation. The new compounds, 1, 2, 4 and 5 at concentrations of 10, 25 and 100 μg/ml were subjected to cell proliferation and early activation marker (CD69) expression studies in C57Bl/6 mice splenocytes using flow cytometry techniques against Lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 μg/ml) and Concanavalin A (ConA; 2 μg/ml) standards. The stigmastane steroids (1 and 2) at the highest concentration of 100 μg/ml showed statistically significantly (p < 0.05) stimulatory activity on the C57B1/6 splenocytes compared to the controls with values of 46 ± 0.76% and 43 ± 0.46% compared to 7.69 ± 0.41% recorded for the negative control. The novel lupeol esters, 4 and 5 at same concentration of 100 μg/ml exhibited lower stimulations of 30 ± 0.41% and 29 ± 0.17% respectively compared to the controls above. The CD69 expression assay at the above doses showed that all the compounds have minimal stimulation. The present study supports the observed immunomodulatory property of the Eastern Nigeria mistletoe and thus confirms the efficacy of this plant in mitigating against wide array of disease conditions orchestrated by immunodeficiency. 相似文献

Fungal endophytes: unique plant inhabitants with great promises 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fungal endophytes residing in the internal tissues of living plants occur in almost every plant on earth from the arctic to
the tropics. The endophyte–host relationship is described as a balanced symbiotic continuum ranging from mutualism through
commensalism to parasitism. This overview will highlight selected aspects of endophyte diversity, host specificity, endophyte–host
interaction and communication as well as regulation of secondary metabolite production with emphasis on advanced genomic methods
and their role in improving our current knowledge of endophytic associations. Furthermore, the chemical potential of endophytic
fungi for drug discovery will be discussed with focus on the detection of pharmaceutically valuable plant constituents as
products of fungal biosynthesis. In addition, selected examples of bioactive metabolites reported in recent years (2008–2010)
from fungal endophytes residing in terrestrial plants are presented grouped according to their reported biological activities. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely used in the biotechnology industry for production of ethanol, recombinant proteins, food ingredients and other chemicals. In order to generate highly producing and stable strains, genome integration of genes encoding metabolic pathway enzymes is the preferred option. However, integration of pathway genes in single or few copies, especially those encoding rate-controlling steps, is often not sufficient to sustain high metabolic fluxes. By exploiting the sequence diversity in the long terminal repeats (LTR) of Ty retrotransposons, we developed a new set of integrative vectors, EasyCloneMulti, that enables multiple and simultaneous integration of genes in S. cerevisiae. By creating vector backbones that combine consensus sequences that aim at targeting subsets of Ty sequences and a quickly degrading selective marker, integrations at multiple genomic loci and a range of expression levels were obtained, as assessed with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter system. The EasyCloneMulti vector set was applied to balance the expression of the rate-controlling step in the β-alanine pathway for biosynthesis of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3HP). The best 3HP producing clone, with 5.45 g.L-1 of 3HP, produced 11 times more 3HP than the lowest producing clone, which demonstrates the capability of EasyCloneMulti vectors to impact metabolic pathway enzyme activity. 相似文献

Marine bacteria and fungi are of considerable importance as new promising sources of a huge number of biologically active products. Some of these marine species live in a stressful habitat, under cold, lightless and high pressure conditions. Surprisingly, a large number of species with high diversity survive under such conditions and produce fascinating and structurally complex natural products. Up till now, only a small number of microorganisms have been investigated for bioactive metabolites, yet a huge number of active substances with some of them featuring unique structural skeletons have been isolated. This review covers new biologically active natural products published recently (2007–09) and highlights the chemical potential of marine microorganisms, with focus on bioactive products as well as on their mechanisms of action. 相似文献
