Denaturation ofBacillus thuringiensis CryIIIA-endotoxin—an insecticidal protein, active againstColeoptera larvae—in concentrated guanidine hydrochloride solutions was pursued by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy and limited proteolysis. It was found that the protein consists of two fragments that differ by their stability to denaturation by guanidine hydrochloride atpH 3. The less stable fragment corresponds to the N-terminal-helical domain limited by Leu-279; the more stable one starts with Ile-280, contains about 330 amino acid residues, and corresponds to the molecule C-terminal moiety that consist of its two-structural domains forming a superdomain.Abbreviations BT

The pericentriolar material in Chinese hamster ovary cells nucleates microtubule formation 总被引:48,自引:38,他引:10 下载免费PDF全文
The structure and function of the centrosomes from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were investigated by electron microscopy of negatively stained wholemount preparations of cell lysates. Cells were trypsinized from culture dishes, lysed with Triton X-100, sedimented onto ionized, carbon-coated grids, and negatively stained with phosphotungstate. The centrosomes from both interphase and dividing cells consisted of pairs of centrioles, a fibrous pericentriolar material, and a group of virus-like particles which were characteristic of the CHO cells and which served as markers for the pericentriolar material. Interphase centrosomes anchored up to two dozen microtubules when cells were lysed under conditions which preserved native microtubules. When Colcemid-blocked mitotic cells, initially devoid of microtubules, were allowed to recover for 10 min, microtubules formed at the pericentriolar material, but not at the centrioles. When lysates of Colcemid-blocked cells were incubated in vitro with micotubule protein purified from porcine brain tissue, up to 250 microtubules assembled at the centrosomes, similar to the number of microtubules that would normally form at the centrosome during cell division. A few microtubules could also be assembled in vitro onto the ends of isolated centrioles from which the pericentriolar material had been removed, forming characteristic axoneme- like bundles. In addition, microtubules; were assembled onto fragments of densely staining, fibrous material which was tentatively identified as periocentriolar material by its association of CHO can initiate and anchor microtubules both in vivo and in vitro. 相似文献

The strain B-1166 differs from the other strains of Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. finitimus because it has two crystal types with different localization in the sporulating cell, i.e., inside and outside of exosporium membrane. Two dissociants of the strain were obtained containing only one of the crystal types. The initial strain produces at least three various delta-endotoxins (Fin2, Fin3, and Fin5) differing from all other known entomocidal proteins; Fin2 and Fin3 are similar to each other but differ from Fin5. Both crystal types contain the same endotoxins (Fin2, Fin3, and Fin5). In the B-1166 strain the site of crystal deposition is not determined by their protein composition. 相似文献

The glutamyl endopeptidase gene of Bacillus intermedius was cloned from a genomic library expressed in Bacillus subtilis and sequenced (EMBL accession number Y15136). The encoded preproenzyme contains 303 amino acid residues; the mature 23-kDa enzyme consists of 215 residues. The mature enzyme reveals 38% of identical residues when aligned with the glutamyl endopeptidase from Bacillus licheniformis, whereas only five invariant residues were found among all known glutamyl endopeptidases. The amino acid residues that form the catalytic triad (H47, D98, and S171) as well as H186 participating in the binding of the substrate carboxyl group were identified. It seems that the structural elements responsible for the function of glutamyl endopeptidases from various sources are highly variable. 相似文献

啤酒多倍体酵母菌原生质体已成功地与单倍体原生质体进行融合。经细胞壁再生后,稳定的融合重组体被分离出来。这些融合体的基因分析表明,融合体中含有双亲的基因型。孢子形成良好,且每个子囊中含有四个孢子,每个孢子确实是二倍体。这样原生质体融合就提供了一个对啤酒酿造酵母进行遗传分析的方法。但是如果没有一个方便的杂交技术,这个方法将是很困难的。 相似文献

Decreased gene expression from T7 promoters may be due to impaired production of active T7 RNA polymerase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Background
Protein expression vectors that utilize the bacteriophage T7 polymerase/promoter system are capable of very high levels of protein production. Frequently, however, expression from these vectors does not reliably achieve optimal levels of protein production. Strategies have been proposed previously that successfully maintain high expression levels, however we sought to determine the cause of induction failure. 相似文献8.

Proteins of 65 and 57 kD were isolated from the apical membranes of midgut epithelium of Anopheles stephensi larvae by affinity chromatography. These proteins can specifically bind endotoxin Cry11A and activate toxin Cry4B (Cry4B-tox) under conditions of ligand blotting, and both Cry proteins compete for this binding. At least in the case of Cry4B-tox, the binding with 65 and 57 kD proteins is reversible. The ability of the products of limited proteolysis of Cry11A and Cry4B to bind the 65 and 57 kD proteins correlates with their toxicity to A. stephensi larva. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the 57 kD protein is unique and absent in the NCBI GenBank. The proteins of 65 and 57 kD share most of the properties studied with Aedes aegypti toxin-binding proteins. It is possible that they altogether represent a novel class (or classes) of delta-endotoxin receptors. 相似文献

Background
Many musculoskeltal injuries in the workplace have been attributed to the repetitive loading of muscle and soft tissues. It is not disputed that muscular fatigue is a risk factor for musculoskeltal injury, however the disparity between gender with respect to muscular fatigability and rate of recovery is not well understood. Current health and safety guidelines do not account for sex differences in fatiguability and may be predisposing one gender to greater risk. The purpose of this study was to quantify the sex differences in fatigue development and recovery rate of lower and upper body musculature after repeated bouts of sustained isometric contractions.Methods
Twenty-seven healthy males (n = 12) and females (n = 15) underwent bilateral localized fatigue of either the knee extensors (male: n = 8; female: n = 8), elbow flexors (male: n = 8; female: n = 10), or both muscle groups. The fatigue protocol consisted of ten 30-second sub-maximal isometric contractions. The changes in maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), electrically evoked twitches, and motor unit activation (MUA) were assessed along with the ability to control the sustained contractions (SLP) during the fatigue protocol using a mixed four-factor repeated measures ANOVA (gender × side × muscle × time) design with significance set at p < 0.05.Results
There was a significant loss of MVC, MUA, and evoked twitch amplitude from pre- to post-fatigue in both the arms and legs. Males had greater relative loss of isometric force, a higher rate of fatigue development, and were less capable of maintaining the fatiguing contractions in the legs when compared to the females.Conclusion
The nature of the induced fatigue was a combination of central and peripheral fatigue that did not fully recover over a 45-minute period. The results appear to reflect sex differences that are peripheral, and partially support the muscle mass hypothesis for explaining differences in muscular fatigue.10.
