We have shown previously that anti-phenylphosphocholine antibodies elicited by phosphocholine-keyhole limpet hemocyanin can be divided into two populations according to their ability to recognize the two hapten analogues p-nitrophenylphosphocholine (NPPC) and p-nitrophenyl 3,3-dimethylbutyl phosphate (NPDBP). These analogues differ from each other in that NPPC has a positively charged nitrogen in the choline moiety, whereas NPDBP lacks the positively charged nitrogen. Group II-A antibodies bind only NPPC, whereas group II-B antibodies bind both ligands. Here, by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic investigations, we find that when free in solution NPPC has a predominantly fixed structure in which the termini approach each other, probably due to electrostatic interactions within the molecule; this "bent" structural feature is retained when the ligand is bound by antibody. In contrast, the structure of unbound NPDBP is less fixed, being characterized by rapidly interchanging conformations corresponding to an open chain structure with less overall proximity of the termini compared to NPPC. The overall shape of NPPC is essentially unaltered by binding, whereas in the case of NPDBP what was a minor conformation in the unbound state becomes the predominate conformation of the bound ligand. Thus, our results are consistent with these antibodies providing a molecular template for stabilizing the conformation of the bound ligand. 相似文献

Summary The growth of Spirulina platensis was studied in a light-limited culture under various dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. At high DO concentration, e.g. at 1.25 mM DO, the growth rate was decreased up to 36 % compared with that of 0.063 mM DO. The retarded growth rate at high DO concentrations seemed to be coupled with the degeneration of photosynthetic activity in terms of O2 evolution. Under higher DO concentrations, superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase activities tended to increase, while the contents of photosynthetic pigment, such phycocyanin, carotenoid and chlorophyll-a decreased distinctly. 相似文献

Urbanization is currently one of the most pervasive threats to biodiversity worldwide, yet traits permitting birds to exploit urban environments are not fully understood. I used bird traits related to diet (dietary item and foraging stratum), accounting for latitude, body size, development mode and phylogeny, to compare diet breadths of urban exploiters and urban avoiders, using a global dataset (463 bird species). Urban exploiters (urban species) were larger, consumed more vertebrates and carrion, and fed more frequently on the ground or aerially, and also had broader diets than urban avoiders (non-urban species). In contrast, urban species had narrower foraging strata ranges than non-urban species. These results not only support the hypothesis that urban species share dietary traits allowing them to cope with urban environments but also highlight the importance of considering multiple dietary traits to properly quantify species niches when assessing a species’ response to environmental change. 相似文献

Recruitment of the growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) by the plasma membrane-associated adapter protein downstream of kinase 3 (Dok-3) attenuates signals transduced by the B cell antigen receptor (BCR). Here we describe molecular details of Dok-3/Grb2 signal integration and function, showing that the Lyn-dependent activation of the BCR transducer kinase Syk is attenuated by Dok-3/Grb2 in a site-specific manner. This process is associated with the SH3 domain-dependent translocation of Dok-3/Grb2 complexes into BCR microsignalosomes and augmented phosphorylation of the inhibitory Lyn target SH2 domain-containing inositol 5′ phosphatase. Hence, our findings imply that Dok-3/Grb2 modulates the balance between activatory and inhibitory Lyn functions with the aim to adjust BCR signaling efficiency. 相似文献
