In order to locate the domains involved in the biological activity of TSH and to get some insight in the relationship between immunological and biological properties of TSH, 24 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to 11 different antigenic regions of hTSH were tested for both binding to hTSH and inhibition of hTSH stimulation of adenylate cyclase in human thyroid membranes. These mAb were also investigated for binding to bovine TSH (bTSH), and interference with bTSH binding to the receptor and stimulation of adenylate cyclase. Radioiodinated human TSH (hTSH) was incubated with increasing concentrations of mAb. Maximum hTSH binding by the various mAb ranged from 15-75% and was not related to the apparent affinity of the mAb for hTSH. Maximum inhibition by the mAb of hTSH stimulation of adenylate cyclase ranged from 3-92%. As compared to the antigenic map of hTSH, it was observed that mAb reacting with the same antigenic regions might display varying inhibition of hTSH. Nevertheless, it was clearly shown that the most potent inhibitors of hTSH stimulatory activity interacted with epitopes located on the alpha- and beta-subunits or expressed only by holo hTSH. Only 11 of the 24 mAb cross-reacted significantly with bTSH. Seven exhibited the same inhibition of hTSH and bTSH stimulatory activity; the four remaining mAb rather than to inhibit adenylate cyclase stimulation as observed with hTSH, did not interfere or even increased adenylate cyclase stimulation by bTSH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Background
The HIV-1 Rev regulatory protein binds as an oligomeric complex to viral RNA mediating nuclear export of incompletely spliced and non-spliced viral mRNAs encoding the viral structural proteins. However, the biological significance of the obligatory complex formation of Rev upon the viral RNA is unclear.Results
The activity of various fusion proteins based on the negative oligomerization-defect Rev mutant M4 was tested using Rev dependent reporter constructs. An artificial M4 mutant dimer and an M4 mutant containing an extra basic domain from the HTLV-I Rex protein exhibited nearly full activity when compared to wild type Rev.Conclusion
Rev dimerization appears to be required to expose free basic domains whilst the Rev oligomeric complex remains bound to viral RNA via other basic domains. 相似文献5.

We investigated the long-term effects of the thiazolidinedione PPARgamma activator pioglitazone on cardiac inflammation in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP), a model of malignant of hypertension. Six-week-old SHRSP were treated with pioglitazone (10 mg/kg per day p.o.) for 20 weeks. The rise in systolic blood pressure (SBP) in SHRSP was only transiently and slightly attenuated by pioglitazone (P < 0.05). On one hand, cardiac hypertrophy was little affected by the pioglitazone treatment, and there was only a reduction of subepicardial interstitial fibrosis. On the other hand, left ventricular NFkappaB and AP-1 binding activities, the expression of TNFalpha, and the adhesion of molecule PECAM were significantly decreased by pioglitazone treatment. Expression of the pro-apoptotic proteins p53 and bax was significantly increased by pioglitazone. Thus, pioglitazone-attenuated cardiac inflammation in SHRSP had little effect on BP or cardiac hypertrophy. PPARgamma activation may play a preventive cardiovascular role by offsetting the cardiac inflammatory response as demonstrated in this genetic model of malignant hypertension. 相似文献

Integrase function is required for retroviral replication in most instances. Although certain permissive T-cell lines support human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in the absence of functional integrase, most cell lines and primary human cells are nonpermissive for integrase mutant growth. Since unintegrated retroviral DNA is lost from cells following cell division, we investigated whether incorporating a functional origin of DNA replication into integrase mutant HIV-1 might overcome the block to efficient gene expression and replication in nonpermissive T-cell lines and primary cells. Whereas the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) origin (oriP) did little to augment expression from an integrase mutant reporter virus in EBV nuclear antigen 1-expressing cells, simian virus 40 (SV40) oriT dramatically enhanced integrase mutant infectivity in T-antigen (Tag)-expressing cells. Incorporating oriT into the nef position of a full-length, integrase-defective virus strain yielded efficient replication in Tag-expressing nonpermissive Jurkat T cells without reversion to an integration-competent genotype. Adding Tag to integrase mutant-oriT viruses yielded 11.3-kb SV40-HIV chimeras that replicated in Jurkat cells and primary monocyte-derived macrophages. Real-time quantitative PCR analyses of Jurkat cell infections revealed that amplified copies of unintegrated DNA likely contributed to SV40-HIV integrase mutant replication. SV40-based HIV-1 integrase mutant replication in otherwise nonpermissive cells suggests alternative approaches to standard integrase-mediated retroviral gene transfer strategies. 相似文献

The epigenome is defined as a type of information that can be transmitted independently of the DNA sequence, at the chromatin level, through post-translational modifications present on histone tails. Recent advances in the identification of histone 3 variants suggest a new model of information transmission through deposition of specific histone variants. To date, several non-centromeric histone 3 variants have been identified in mammals. Despite protein sequence similarity, specific deposition complexes have been characterized for both histone 3.1 (H3.1) and histone 3.3 (H3.3), whereas no deposition complex for histone 3.2 (H3.2) has been identified to date. Here, we identified human H3.2 partners by immunopurification of nuclear H3.2 complexes followed by mass spectrometry analysis. Further biochemical analyses highlighted two major complexes associated with H3.2, one containing chromatin associated factor-1 subunits and the other consisting of a subcomplex of mini chromosome maintenance helicases, together with Asf1. The purified complexes could associate with a DNA template in vitro. 相似文献

Use of Hypericum perforatum L. has increased in the past few years due to the antidepressant and antiviral activities found in extracts of this plant.
As a result of its potential as a pharmaceutical, a new system was developed for in vitro culture of this species. Leaf explants were inoculated onto MS medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D,
0.45 or 4.5 μM) and 6-benzyladenine (BA, 0.44 or 4.4 μM) or kinetin (0.46 or 4.6 μM). Explants were cultivated under dark
or light conditions to induce callus formation. Callus initiation was observed in all media evaluated and the highest cell
proliferation was obtained from explants cultivated in the presence of 4.4 μM BA and 4.5 μM 2,4-D in the dark. Shoot induction
was obtained from callus induced on 4.6 μM kinetin and 0.45 μM 2,4-D 6 weeks after transferring the callus to a MS medium
supplemented with 4.4 μM BA. Roots were induced from shoots on full and half-strength MS media with or without indolebutyric
acid (IBA, 4.9 μM) and the highest rooting frequencies were obtained on half-strength MS medium, regardless of the presence
of IBA. Regenerated plants were easily acclimated in greenhouse conditions. The procedure reported here allows the micropropagation
of H. perforatum in five months of culture and the proliferation of cell masses which could be used for studies on organic compounds of pharmaceutical
interest.
