Adventitious shoots of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam.) were produced in vitro using a two-stage culture method. Petiole explants were incubated on Murashige and Skoog
(MS) medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (0.2 mg·liter−1) for 3 d, and transferred to MS medium with thidiazuron (0 to 0.4 mg·liter−1). Shoot regeneration was observed in most explants (78.2%) of genotype PI 318846-3 within 28 days when cultured on thidiazuron
at 0.2 mg·liter−1. Histological studies of cultured petiole explants showed meristematic activity within cells of vascular bundles and throughout
the ground tissue. Explants isolated from apical leaves exhibited higher shoot regeneration frequency than those isolated
from the basal portion of the shoot. Leaf lamina explants exhibited lower frequency of regeneration than petiole explants.
In contrast to thidiazuron, the use of zeatin riboside, and kinetin resulted in a lower frequency of shoot regeneration although
more sweetpotato genotypes could be regenerated using either of these two cytokinins. The sweetpotato plants regenerated using
thidiazuron grew vigorously and rooted easily when transferred to the greenhouse. 相似文献

CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are strong mediators of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) control, yet HIV-1 frequently mutates to escape CTL recognition. In an analysis of sequences in the Los Alamos HIV-1 database, we show that emerging CTL escape mutations were more often present at lower frequencies than the amino acid(s) that they replaced. Furthermore, epitopes that underwent escape contained amino acid sites of high variability, whereas epitopes persisting at high frequencies lacked highly variable sites. We therefore infer that escape mutations are likely to be associated with weak functional constraints on the viral protein. This was supported by an extensive analysis of one subject for whom all escape mutations within defined CTL epitopes were studied and by an analysis of all reported escape mutations of defined CTL epitopes in the HIV Immunology Database. In one of these defined epitopes, escape mutations involving the substitution of amino acids with lower database frequencies occurred, and the epitope soon reverted back to the sensitive form. We further show that this escape mutation substantially diminished viral fitness in in vitro competition assays. Coincident with the reversion in vivo, we observed the fixation of a mutation 3 amino acids C terminal to the epitope, coincident with the ablation of the corresponding CTL response. The C-terminal mutation did not restore replication fitness reduced by the escape mutation in the epitope and by itself had little effect on replication fitness. Therefore, this C-terminal mutation presumably impaired the processing and presentation of the epitope. Finally, for one persistent epitope, CTL cross-reactivity to a mutant form may have suppressed the mutant to undetected levels, whereas for two other persistent epitopes, each of two mutants showed poor cross-reactivity and appeared in the subject at later time points. Thus, a viral dynamic exists between the advantage of immune escape, peptide cross-reactivity, and the disadvantage of lost replication fitness, with the balance playing an important role in determining whether a CTL epitope will persist or decline during infection. 相似文献

The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) consists of an alphabeta heterodimer and associated invariant CD3gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta chains (TCR/CD3 complex). The general stoichiometry of the receptor complex, which is believed to be one molecule each of TCRalpha, TCRbeta, CD3gamma, and CD3delta and two molecules each of CD3epsilon and CD3zeta, is not clearly understood. Although it has been shown that there are two chains of CD3epsilon and CD3zeta, the stoichiometry of CD3gamma or CD3delta chains in the surface antigen receptor complex has not been determined. In the present study, transgenic mice expressing an altered form of mouse CD3delta and CD3gamma were employed to show that the surface TCR complexes contain one molecule each of CD3delta and CD3gamma. Thymocytes from wild type and CD3 chain transgenic mice on the appropriate knockout background were surface-biotinylated and immunoprecipitated using a specific antibody. The immunoprecipitates were resolved in two dimensions under nonreducing/reducing conditions to determine the stoichiometry of CD3delta and CD3gamma in the surface antigen receptor complex. Our data clearly show the presence of one molecule each of CD3delta and CD3gamma in the surface TCR/CD3 complex. 相似文献

We have characterized a large-scale inactive-to-active conformational change in the activation-loop of the insulin receptor kinase domain at the atomistic level via untargeted temperature-accelerated molecular dynamics (TAMD) and free-energy calculations using the string method. TAMD simulations consistently show folding of the A-loop into a helical conformation followed by unfolding to an active conformation, causing the highly conserved DFG-motif (Asp(1150), Phe(1151), and Gly(1152)) to switch from the inactive "D-out/F-in" to the nucleotide-binding-competent "D-in/F-out" conformation. The minimum free-energy path computed from the string method preserves these helical intermediates along the inactive-to-active path, and the thermodynamic free-energy differences are consistent with previous work on various other kinases. The mechanisms revealed by TAMD also suggest that the regulatory spine can be dynamically assembled/disassembled either by DFG-flip or by movement of the αC-helix. Together, these findings both broaden our understanding of kinase activation and point to intermediates as specific therapeutic targets. 相似文献

The glycoprotein CD86 is an important costimulatory molecule that has been shown to be predominantly expressed on APCs, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. More recently, CD86 was also detected on T cells in specific pathological conditions. The mechanisms of how CD86 might be induced and its functional role in T cells are not well understood. In the present study, we showed that treatment with IL-2 markedly upregulated CD86, but not CD80, in human CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. This upregulation occurred in the absence of bystander cells, and isolated naive CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells exhibited different time-dependent CD86-expression patterns in response to IL-2. Upregulation of CD86 on activated T cells was reduced by Abs that block IL-2 and IL-2Rα (CD25), indicating a receptor-mediated mechanism. IL-2-dependent CD86 upregulation was blocked by pharmacological inhibitors of the NFAT and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways and was largely reduced by simultaneous exposure to IFN-α. Importantly, a marked increase in CD86 on T cells was also observed in vivo in IL-2-treated patients. In conclusion, IL-2 upregulates CD86 expression on human CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells via a receptor-dependent mechanism that involves the NFAT and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways. 相似文献

An X-ray crystal structure of one of our previously discovered RORγt inverse agonists bound to the RORγt ligand binding domain revealed that the cyclohexane carboxylic acid group of compound 2 plays a significant role in RORγt binding, forming four hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions with RORγt. SAR studies centered around the cyclohexane carboxylic acid group led to identification of several structurally diverse and more potent compounds, including new carboxylic acid analogues 7 and 20, and cyclic sulfone analogues 34 and 37. Notably, compounds 7 and 20 were found to maintain the desirable pharmacokinetic profile of 2. 相似文献
