PGRP-S (Tag7) is an innate immunity protein involved in the antimicrobial defense systems, both in insects and in mammals. We have previously shown that Tag7 specifically interacts with several proteins, including Hsp70 and the calcium binding protein S100A4 (Mts1), providing a number of novel cellular functions. Here we show that Tag7–Mts1 complex causes chemotactic migration of lymphocytes, with NK cells being a preferred target. Cells of either innate immunity (neutrophils and monocytes) or acquired immunity (CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes) can produce this complex, which confirms the close connection between components of the 2 branches of immune response. 相似文献

Tn1935, a 23.5-kb transposon mediating resistance to ampicillin, kanamycin, mercury, spectinomycin, and sulfonamide was isolated from pZM3, an IncFIme virulence plasmid from Salmonella wien. Tn1935 possesses the entire sequence of Tn21 and contains two additional DNA segments of 0.95 and 2.7 kb carrying the ampicillin and kanamycin resistance genes, respectively. The latter is part of a composite element since it is flanked by two IS15-like insertion sequences (IS1936) in direct orientation. IS1936 is about 800 bp long and is closely related to IS15 delta, IS26, IS46, IS140, and IS176. Functional analysis of IS1936-mediated cointegrates shows that both insertion sequences are active and able to form cointegrates at the same frequency. Resolution of the cointegrates requires the presence of the host Rec system. The presence of the composite IS1936-element within Tn1935 supports the hypothesis that multidrug resistance transposons evolved by insertion of antibiotic determinants which are themselves transposable. 相似文献

The UV-spectral and chromatographic analyses of the derivatives of the two synthetic standards 7-ethylguanosine and 1,7-diethylguanosine are here reported. The derivatives obtained from the dialkyl compound exhibit a striking similarity to those found in the "pyrimidine-nucleotide-like" fraction of rat liver tRNA ethylated in vivo by ethionine. The finding of imidazole-ring-opened products in tRNA ethylation by ethionine could be significant from the point of view of chemical carcinogenesis: in fact, imidazole-ring-opening of 1,7-dialkylguanosines directly at level of RNA with consequent formation of substituted pyrimidines is a transversion, i.e. a mutagenic event which would cause a change in the expression of genetic information since a purine has been transformed into a pyrimidine. 相似文献

1. In liver microsomes from hyperthyroid rats NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation induces a hydroperoxide formation 56% higher than that in euthyroid ones. 2. The addition of 5 microM Fe2+ (or Fe3+) strongly decreases the hydroperoxide level in favour of that of TBA-reactive substances. Higher iron concentrations (30 microM) have no significant effect. 3. In hepatocytes from hyperthyroid rats CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation produces an amount of TBA-reactive substances four times higher than that in those from euthyroid rats. 4. In the liver of hyperthyroid rats a GSH concentration decrease (by about 35%) is found while the opposite occurs in the blood of the same animals where GSH increases 2.5 times. 5. It is shown that in the liver of hyperthyroid rats, besides higher lipid peroxidation, a more active defense mechanism is operating since both glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase specific activities are higher than in euthyroid rats. 相似文献

Background
Elucidation of the communal behavior of microbes in mixed species biofilms may have a major impact on understanding infectious diseases and for the therapeutics. Although, the structure and the properties of monospecies biofilms and their role in disease have been extensively studied during the last decade, the interactions within mixed biofilms consisting of bacteria and fungi such as Candida spp. have not been illustrated in depth. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the interspecies interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and six different species of Candida comprising C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. dubliniensis in dual species biofilm development. 相似文献9.

Background
In honeybees, differential feeding of female larvae promotes the occurrence of two different phenotypes, a queen and a worker, from identical genotypes, through incremental alterations, which affect general growth, and character state alterations that result in the presence or absence of specific structures. Although previous studies revealed a link between incremental alterations and differential expression of physiometabolic genes, the molecular changes accompanying character state alterations remain unknown. 相似文献10.

Increasing evidence indicates that metabolism is implicated in the control of stem cell identity. Here, we demonstrate that embryonic stem cell (ESC) behaviour relies on a feedback loop that involves the non-essential amino acid L-Proline (L-Pro) in the modulation of the Gcn2-Eif2α-Atf4 amino acid starvation response (AAR) pathway that in turn regulates L-Pro biosynthesis. This regulatory loop generates a highly specific intrinsic shortage of L-Pro that restricts proliferation of tightly packed domed-like ESC colonies and safeguards ESC identity. Indeed, alleviation of this nutrient stress condition by exogenously provided L-Pro induces proliferation and modifies the ESC phenotypic and molecular identity towards that of mesenchymal-like, invasive pluripotent stem cells. Either pharmacological inhibition of the prolyl-tRNA synthetase by halofuginone or forced expression of Atf4 antagonises the effects of exogenous L-Pro. Our data provide unprecedented evidence that L-Pro metabolism and the nutrient stress response are functionally integrated to maintain ESC identity.Naturally occurring amino acids are emerging as key players in the regulation of the phenotypic plasticity of stem cells.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Indeed, exogenously provided threonine and methionine, two essential amino acids (EAAs), regulate self-renewal and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.2 Moreover, exogenously provided L-Proline (L-Pro), a non-essential amino acid (NEAA), induces mouse ESCs towards an embryonic stem cell-to-mesenchymal-like transition (esMT) that converts compact, adherent ESCs into mesenchymal-like spindle-shaped, highly invasive and metastatic pluripotent stem cells.4 This fully reversible process resembles the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is essential for normal development and contributes to pathological cancer progression.6, 7, 8 Interestingly, the Aldh18a1 gene is specifically induced in and marks the Primitive Endoderm (PrE) in the time window when the pluripotent epiblast precursors are specified within the inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst.9 Since the Aldh18a1 enzyme catalyses the first and rate-limiting step of L-Pro biosynthesis, these findings suggest that L-Pro metabolism may regulate cell lineage segregation in early mammalian embryos. Despite its relevance, the molecular mechanisms underlying L-Pro control of stem cell identity remain largely unknown. This prompted us to investigate the early molecular events regulated by exogenously provided L-Pro in mouse ESCs. 相似文献
