The interaction between the Toxoplasma parasitophorous vacuole and vimentin-type intermediate filaments in Vero cells was investigated via immunofluorescence microscopy. A significant rearrangement of host cell vimentin around the Toxoplasma parasitophorous vacuoles occurs throughout the course of infection. Host cell vimentin associates with the parasitophorous vacuoles within an hour after invasion. This vimentin overcoating of the vacuole is initiated at the host cell nuclear surface. During parasite multiplication, vimentin retains a closely defined association with the cytosolic surface of the parasitophorous vacuole. In addition, the vimentin intermediate filaments originating from the host cell nuclear surface are progressively rearranged around the enlarging parasitophorous compartment. During infections, the order of vimentin cytoskeleton is normal throughout the cell and appears redefined only at the vicinity of the parasitophorous vacuole. Depolymerization of the intermediate filaments was achieved with the phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A. Disruption of the intermediate filament networks resulted in displacement of the parasitophorous vacuoles from the host cell nuclear surface. The data indicate that host cell vimentin binds to the Toxoplasma parasitophorous vacuoles and that the host intermediate filament network serves to dock the parasite compartment to the host cell nuclear surface. 相似文献

Microsporidian Spore Discharge and the Transfer of Polaroplast Organelle Membrane into Plasma Membrane 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Electron microscopic examinations of Glugea hertwigi and Spraguea lophii spores indicated the presence of a single plasma membrane; however, this membrane remained in the spore during the discharge of the sporoplasm from the spore. Although discharged spores retained the old plasma membrane, the extruded sporoplasms acquired a new plasma membrane. In order to determine where the new plasma membrane came from, we used two fluorescent probes with membrane affinities. The markers were tested on unfired and discharged spores. The probe, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine (NPN), labeled the polaroplast membrane in addition to the apolar groups in the posterior vacuoles of unfired spores. After spore discharge, NPN label disappeared from the spore ghosts except for a slight fluorescence on residual plasma membranes. Much of the NPN-labeled membrane reappeared after spore discharge on the outer envelope of discharged sporoplasms. The probe chlorotetracycline (CTC) labeled calcium-associated membranes of spore polaroplasts. During spore discharge, the CTC fluorescence shifted from the polaroplast organelle of unfired spores to the outer envelope of discharged sporoplasms. These results indicate that the polaroplast organelle may provide the new plasma membrane for discharged microsporidian sporoplasms. 相似文献

Fossil mandibles of the Bornean shrew Crocidura foetida recovered from excavations at the west mouth of Niah cave, Sarawak, Malaysia, show that the late Pleistocene population at this lowland location was comparable in size with the large subspecies Crocidura foetida doriae , presently occurring at inland, upland locations. Two Holocene specimens fall in the size range of the smaller lowland subspecies C. f. foetida . Comparable post-Pleistocene size-reduction is known among other mammals of Borneo, but this is the first instance of dated examples. The evolutionary trend conforms with Bergmann's 'rule' but, other than climate change, no selective agent is apparent. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2008, 94 , 413–419. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. The Glugea stephani-induced xenoma in the winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, is a large spherical host-parasite complex, up to 4.0 mm in diameter, with the host and parasite components of the xenoma being most active in the peripheral zone. The xenoma has an extensive periodic acid-silver methenamine-positive surface coat covering the plasma membrane. The surface of this membrane is amplified by the presence of numerous folds and fine tubular extensions. The peripheral zone of the xenoma contains many host-cell mitochondria in addition to numerous microsporidan parasites. At the ultrastructural level, the peripheral zone of the host-cell cytoplasm appears normal. Inside the peripheral region of the 0.4–1.0 mm xenoma, the host-cell component largely disintegrates in the presence of microsporidan parasites undergoing sporogenesis. 相似文献

The phylogeny of the Rhinocerotoidea (Mammalia, Perissodactyla) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A new phylogeny of the Superfamily Rhinocerotoidea is proposed, based upon an analysis of shared derived characters of the skull, teeth and skeleton. Hyrachyus is considered the primitive sister-taxon of the three rhinocerotoid families (Amynodontidae, Hyracodontidae, Rhinocerotidae), and the amynodonts appear to be the sister-group of hyracodonts and rhinocerotids. The relationships of primitive hyracodonts and rhinocerotids are clarified. Menoceras and Pleuroceras (new Subfamily Menoceratinae) are removed from the Diceratheriinae, since they appear to be more closely related to higher rhinoceroses than they are to Diceratherium. Of the three major monophyletic groups of higher rhinocerotids (aceratherines, teleoceratines and rhinocerotines), the last two groups are more closely related to each other than either is to aceratherines. Toxotherium and Schizotheroides are tentatively removed from the Rhinocerotoidea and placed in the Lophiodontidae. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. An immunity to reinfection with E. bovis was demonstrated in 3 experiments involving 60 calves. This immunity develops rapidly, as indicated by resistance to a challenge given 14 days after the immunizing inoculation. In 3 groups of 3 to 6 young calves each, immunity was still present to a moderate degree 2 to 3 months after inoculation; in one group of 5 animals about a year old there was apparently a high degree of immunity about 7 months after the last inoculation. In one experiment an immunizing inoculum of 10,000 oöcysts did not produce as much immunity as 50,000 oöcysts. In 2 experiments there appeared to be little difference in the immunity produced by a single inoculation of 50,000 as compared with 100,000 oöcysts, but inoculation with 100,000 oöcysts, resulted in substantially longer and more severe illness than 50,000 oöcysts. There appeared to be no appreciable difference in clinical symptoms or development of immunity between calves given a single immunizing inoculum and those given the same number of oöcysts in 5 equal inocula on successive days. Treatment with sulfamethazine and sulfamerazine (Merameth) 13 to 15 days after inoculation alleviated the clinical symptoms of coccidiosis without interfering appreciably with the development of immunity. In one experiment with 7 calves, no beneficial effect was noted from 1 or 2 transfusions of 500 ml. of plasma and leucocytes from immune calves into 4 calves 1 and 12 days or 11 days after a challenge inoculation. 相似文献
