The new axially substituted phthalocyanine (pc) complex of zirconium(IV) with citric acid is reported. It has been shown that the replacement of two Cl-atoms with two citric acid fragments takes place as the result of the reaction between [ZrCl2(pc)] and citric acid. The complex [Zr(citrate)2(pc)] was formed. The spectroscopic properties of the synthesized compound in DMSO, RPMI 1640 medium with and without fetal calf serum (FCS), H2O, and buffer (Tris) solutions have been described. Antitumor activity of this compound has been studied. The cytostatic activity was observed in the concentration range of 6.1-9.0x10(9) molecules [Zr(citrate)2(pc)]/cell and occurred in 4-6 h after treatment with [Zr(citrate)2(pc)] solution. 相似文献

CoA synthase mediates the last two steps in the sequence of enzymatic reactions, leading to CoA biosynthesis. We have recently identified cDNA for CoA synthase and demonstrated that it encodes a bifunctional enzyme possessing 4'-phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase and dephospho-CoA kinase activities. Molecular cloning of CoA synthase provided us with necessary tools to study subcellular localization and the regulation of this bifunctional enzyme. Transient expression studies and confocal microscopy allowed us to demonstrate that full-length CoA synthase is associated with the mitochondria, whereas the removal of the N-terminal region relocates the enzyme to the cytosol. In addition, we showed that the N-terminal sequence of CoA synthase (amino acids 1-29) exhibits a hydrophobic profile and targets green fluorescent protein exclusively to mitochondria. Further analysis, involving subcellular fractionation and limited proteolysis, indicated that CoA synthase is localized on the mitochondrial outer membrane. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time that phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, which are the main components of the mitochondrial outer membrane, are potent activators of both enzymatic activities of CoA synthase in vitro. Taken together, these data provide the evidence that the final stages of CoA biosynthesis take place on mitochondria and the activity of CoA synthase is regulated by phospholipids. 相似文献

PTEN is a tumor suppressor with dual protein and lipid–phosphatase activity, which is frequently deleted or mutated in many human advanced cancers. Recent studies have also demonstrated that PTEN is a promising target in type II diabetes and obesity treatment. Using C-terminal PTEN sequence in pEG202–NLS as bait, yeast two-hybrid screening on Mouse Embryo, Colon Cancer, and HeLa cDNA libraries was carried out. Isolated positive clones were validated by mating assay and identified through automated DNA sequencing and BLAST database searches. Sequence analysis revealed a number of PTEN-binding proteins linking this phosphatase to a number of different signaling cascades, suggesting that PTEN may perform other functions besides tumor-suppressing activity in different cell types. In particular, the interplay between PTEN function and adipocyte-specific fatty-acid-binding protein FABP4 is of notable interest. The demonstrable tautology of PTEN to FABP4 suggested a role for this phosphatase in the regulation of lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. This interaction was further studied using coimmunoprecipitation and gel-filtration assays. Finally, based on Biacore assay, we have calculated the K D of PTEN–FABP4 complex, which is around 2.8 μM. 相似文献

Medullary breast carcinoma (MBC) is a relatively rare malignancy with heavy lymphocytic infiltration that despite cytologically
anaplastic features and high mitotic index has more favorable prognosis than other types of breast cancer. Lymphocytic infiltration
of tumors reflects ongoing immune response against tumor antigens which could represent a great interest as potential targets
for cancer immunotherapy. The search for MBC antigens by SEREX methodology has not been successful due to a very high titer
of false positive clones, representing immunoglobulin genes. Here, we describe a novel approach for generating cDNA expression
libraries from MBC tumor samples which are depleted of IgG cDNA clones and, therefore, are suitable for the identification
of novel tumor-associated antigens (TAA) by SEREX approach. Modified methodology allowed us to isolate a panel of known and
novel TAA which are currently under further investigation. 相似文献

The neurotransmitter and neuropeptide mechanisms responsible for the development of the morphine drug dependence and a withdrawal
syndrome (WS) were studied in rats. Physical dependence and WS were found to develop against the background of restricted
responsiveness of the adrenergic and dopaminergic systems. At the same time, the activity of the serotonin-, GABA-, vasopressin-,
and oxytocinergic systems is suppressed at the WS. Agonists of opiate receptors, butorphanol and loperamid, were shown to
improve the physical state of the animals with a WS. Similar action was found to be exerted by activators of the adrenergic
system (ephedrine, phenylephrine), dopaminergic system (levoDOPA, apomorphine), and serotonergic system (tryptophan), as well
as by neuropeptides, vasopressin and oxytocin. 相似文献

The complex interplay between cellular signaling and metabolism in eukaryotic cells just start to emerge. Coenzyme A (CoA) and its derivatives play a key role in cell metabolism and also participate in regulatory processes. CoA Synthase (CoASy) is a mitochondria-associated enzyme which mediates two final stages of de novo CoA biosynthesis. Here, we report that CoASy is involved in signaling events in the cell and forms a functional complex with p85αPI3K in vivo. Importantly, observed interaction of endogenous CoASy and p85αPI3K is regulated in a growth factor dependent manner. Surprisingly, both catalytic p110α and regulatory p85α subunits of PI3K were detected in mitochondrial fraction where mitochondria-localized p85αPI3K was found in complex with CoASy. Unexpectedly, significant changes of PI3K signaling pathway activity were observed in experiments with siRNA-mediated CoASy knockdown pointing on the role of CoA biosynthetic pathway in signal transduction. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to study how the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the cultural broth influenced the respiration and morphology of the yeast Candida utilis in batch and continuous cultures. Highly effective respiration was registered in cells growing for a certain period of time at low oxygen concentrations limiting the growth; the respiration was characterized by low values of the Michaelis constant kc and the critical concentration of dissolved oxygen Ccr. When passing from the low oxygen concentration to a high one, the character of cellular respiration changed abruptly in the cells whose growth was limited with oxygen for a long time. The morphology of the culture limited with oxygen was characterized by an increase in the percentage of elongated forms in the population. The respiration of the cells cultivated at high oxygen concentrations, when their growth was either non-limited or limited by glucose, was distinguished by high Ccr values and slow respiration rates at small oxygen concentrations while the dependence of the respiration rate on the concentration of oxygen had an about S-shaped character. 相似文献

Aflatoxins are polyketide-derived secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp. The toxic effects of aflatoxins have adverse
consequences for human health and agricultural economics. The aflR gene, a regulatory gene for aflatoxin biosynthesis, encodes a
protein containing a zinc-finger DNA-binding motif. AFLR-Protein three-dimensional model was generated using Robetta server.
The modeled AFLR-Protein was further optimization and validation using Rampage. In the simulations, we monitored the
backbone atoms and the C-α-helix of the modeled protein. The low RMSD and the simulation time indicate that, as expected, the
3D structural model of AFLR-protein represents a stable folding conformation. This study paves the way for generating computer
molecular models for proteins whose crystal structures are not available and which would aid in detailed molecular mechanism of
inhibition of aflatoxin. 相似文献
