Tet enzymes (Tet1/2/3) oxidize 5-methylcytosine to promote DNA demethylation and partner with chromatin modifiers to regulate gene expression. Tet1 is highly expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), but its enzymatic and non-enzymatic roles in gene regulation are not dissected. We have generated Tet1 catalytically inactive (Tet1m/m) and knockout (Tet1−/−) ESCs and mice to study these functions. Loss of Tet1, but not loss of its catalytic activity, caused aberrant upregulation of bivalent (H3K4me3+; H3K27me3+) developmental genes, leading to defects in differentiation. Wild-type and catalytic-mutant Tet1 occupied similar genomic loci which overlapped with H3K27 tri-methyltransferase PRC2 and the deacetylase complex Sin3a at promoters of bivalent genes and with the helicase Chd4 at active genes. Loss of Tet1, but not loss of its catalytic activity, impaired enrichment of PRC2 and Sin3a at bivalent promoters leading to reduced H3K27 trimethylation and deacetylation, respectively, in absence of any changes in DNA methylation. Tet1−/−, but not Tet1m/m, embryos expressed higher levels of Gata6 and were developmentally delayed. Thus, the critical functions of Tet1 in ESCs and early development are mediated through its non-catalytic roles in regulating H3K27 modifications to silence developmental genes, and are more important than its catalytic functions in DNA demethylation. 相似文献

Endotoxin is a type of pyrogen that can be found in Gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxin can form a stable interaction with other biomolecules thus making its removal difficult especially during the production of biopharmaceutical drugs. The prevention of endotoxins from contaminating biopharmaceutical products is paramount as endotoxin contamination, even in small quantities, can result in fever, inflammation, sepsis, tissue damage and even lead to death. Highly sensitive and accurate detection of endotoxins are keys in the development of biopharmaceutical products derived from Gram-negative bacteria. It will facilitate the study of the intermolecular interaction of an endotoxin with other biomolecules, hence the selection of appropriate endotoxin removal strategies. Currently, most researchers rely on the conventional LAL-based endotoxin detection method. However, new methods have been and are being developed to overcome the problems associated with the LAL-based method. This review paper highlights the current research trends in endotoxin detection from conventional methods to newly developed biosensors. Additionally, it also provides an overview of the use of electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and docking programs in the endotoxin–protein analysis. 相似文献

Immunodiffusion tests were used for studying protein composition of apical buds ofRudbeckia bicolor andPerilla nankinensis during their transition from vegetative to reproductive state under inductive photoperiodic conditions or GA3 treatment. In both species the induced buds differ from the vegetative ones in the presence of specific proteins (P): P1,
P2, P3 appear inRudbeckia apical buds 2, 8, 16 d after the start of inductive treatment; P4 appears inPerilla apical buds 6 d after inductive treatment. P1, P2, P4 are revealed in induced buds in the early period of apex development
when morphogenetic changes are not yet present. The similarity between antigenic spectra of induced buds and of those treated
by GA3 appears only inRudbeckia. These observations support the hypothesis of a change in gene expression at floral evocation.

The influence of sucrose (30, 60, 90 and 120 g/L), activated charcoal (5 and 10 g/L), and various levels of several plant
growth regulators (6-benzyladenine, naphthalene-1-acetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and picloram) on organogenesis
(bulb and root development) and the accumulation of alkaloid and galanthamine in shoot cultures of three Amaryllidaceae species
(Narcissus pseudonarcissus, Galanthus elwesii, and Leucojum aestivum) was investigated in a full-factorial experiment. Alkaloid extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry,
leading to the quantification of galanthamine and to the identification of other alkaloids. The different extracts were then
subjected to an Ellman test to evaluate the inhibitory activity of acetylcholinesterase. The highest contents of galanthamine
[0.02–0.1% dry weight (DW) depending on the plant species] were always accompanied with a high level of acetylcholinesterase
inhibition (>30%). However, some samples containing low amounts of galanthamine (0.005% DW) showed high inhibitory activities
(40–80%). These findings demonstrate the presence of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids that have not yet been identified as having
anti-acetylcholinesterase activity. 相似文献

The primary human and porcine structure of the novel neuropeptide cerebellin is unknown. These peptides were, therefore, isolated by a combination of ion-exchange and reverse-phase chromatography using a specific radioimmunoassay against rat cerebellin. The sequences of the peptides were deduced by mass spectrometry (for both human and porcine cerebellins) and gas-phase Edman degradation (for porcine cerebellin). In both species, two molecular forms were identified. In the human, the major form corresponded to the pentadecamer [des-Ser1]-cerebellin (approximately 95% of the total) and the minor form, to the hexadecamer peptide. In the pig, however, both molecular forms were present in approximately equal amounts. The finding that the sequences of human and porcine cerebellin are identical to that of the rat suggests that strong evolutionary pressure has acted to conserve this sequence. 相似文献
