A selection of normal human tissues was investigated for the presence of lamins B1, B2, and A-type lamins, using a panel
of antibodies specific for the individual lamin subtypes. By use of immunoprecipitation and two-dimensional immunoblotting
techniques we demonstrated that these antibodies do not cross-react with other lamin subtypes and that a range of different
phosphorylation isoforms is recognized by each antibody. The lamin B2 antibodies appeared to decorate the nuclear lamina in
all tissues examined, except hepatocytes, in which very little lamin B2 expression was observed. In contrast to previous studies,
which suggested the ubiquitous expression of lamin B1 in mammalian tissues, we show that lamin B1 is not as universally distributed
throughout normal human tissues as was to be expected from previous studies. Muscle and connective tissues are negative, while
in epithelial cells lamin B1 seemed to be preferentially detected in proliferating cells. These results correspond well with
those obtained for lamin B1 in chicken tissues. The expression of A-type lamins is most prominent in well-differentiated epithelial
cells. Relatively undifferentiated and proliferating cells in epithelia showed a clearly reduced expression of A-type lamins.
Furthermore, most cells of neuroendocrine origin as well as most hematopoietic cells were negative for A-type lamin antibodies.

The aim of this work was to investigate the conditions required for amylose synthesis in starch granules. Although the major granule-bound isoform of starch synthase - GBSSI - catalyses the synthesis of amylose in vivo, 14C from ADP[14C]glucose was incorporated primarily into a specific subset of amylopectin chains when supplied to starch granules isolated from pea (Pisum sativum L.) embryos and potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers. Incubation of granules with soluble extracts of these organs revealed that the extracts contained compounds that increased the incorporation of 14C into amylose. These compounds were rendered inactive by treatment of the extracts with α-glucosidase, suggesting that they were malto-oligosaccharides. Consistent with this idea, provision of pure malto-oligosaccharides to isolated granules resulted in a dramatic shift in the pattern of incorporation of 14C, from amylopectin chains to amylose molecules. Comparison of the pattern of incorporation in granules from wild-type peas and lam mutant peas which lack GBSSI showed that this effect of malto-oligosaccharides was specifically on GBSSI. The significance of these results for understanding of the synthesis of amylose and amylopectin in storage organs is discussed. 相似文献

Functionalized collagen is attractive for the development of synthetic biomaterials. Herein we present the functionalization of azidoproline containing collagen model peptides with various alkynes using click chemistry. The influence on the stability of the collagen triple helix of the stereochemistry of the introduced triazolyl prolines (4R or 4S), the position of their incorporation (Xaa or Yaa) and the substituents attached to them are shown. The results provide a useful guide for the optimal functionalization of collagen using click chemistry. 相似文献

Autoinhibition of c-Abl 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Despite years of investigation, the molecular mechanism responsible for regulation of the c-Abl tyrosine kinase has remained elusive. We now report inhibition of the catalytic activity of purified c-Abl in vitro, demonstrating that regulation is an intrinsic property of the molecule. We show that the interaction of the N-terminal 80 residues with the rest of the protein mediates autoregulation. This N-terminal "cap" is required to achieve and maintain inhibition, and its loss turns c-Abl into an oncogenic protein and contributes to deregulation of BCR-Abl. 相似文献

A thorough understanding of fat cell biology is necessary to counter the epidemic of obesity. Although molecular pathways
governing adipogenesis are well delineated, the structure of the nuclear lamina and nuclear-cytoskeleton junction in this
process are not. The identification of the ‘linker of nucleus and cytoskeleton’ (LINC) complex made us consider a role for
the nuclear lamina in adipose conversion. We herein focused on the structure of the nuclear lamina and its coupling to the
vimentin network, which forms a cage-like structure surrounding individual lipid droplets in mature adipocytes. Analysis of
a mouse and human model system for fat cell differentiation showed fragmentation of the nuclear lamina and subsequent loss
of lamins A, C, B1 and emerin at the nuclear rim, which coincides with reorganization of the nesprin-3/plectin/vimentin complex
into a network lining lipid droplets. Upon 18 days of fat cell differentiation, the fraction of adipocytes expressing lamins
A, C and B1 at the nuclear rim increased, though overall lamin A/C protein levels were low. Lamin B2 remained at the nuclear
rim throughout fat cell differentiation. Light and electron microscopy of a subcutaneous adipose tissue specimen showed striking
indentations of the nucleus by lipid droplets, suggestive for an increased plasticity of the nucleus due to profound reorganization
of the cellular infrastructure. This dynamic reorganization of the nuclear lamina in adipogenesis is an important finding
that may open up new venues for research in and treatment of obesity and nuclear lamina-associated lipodystrophy. 相似文献

Locomotor muscle fatigue, defined as an exercise-induced reduction in maximal voluntary force, occurs during prolonged exercise, but its effects on cardiorespiratory responses and exercise performance are unknown. In this investigation, a significant reduction in locomotor muscle force (-18%, P < 0.05) was isolated from the metabolic stress usually associated with fatiguing exercise using a 100-drop-jumps protocol consisting of one jump every 20 s from a 40-cm-high platform. The effect of this treatment on time to exhaustion during high-intensity constant-power cycling was measured in study 1 (n = 10). In study 2 (n = 14), test duration (871 +/- 280 s) was matched between fatigue and control condition (rest). In study 1, locomotor muscle fatigue caused a significant curtailment in time to exhaustion (636 +/- 278 s) compared with control (750 +/- 281 s) (P = 0.003) and increased cardiac output. Breathing frequency was significantly higher in the fatigue condition in both studies despite similar oxygen consumption and blood lactate accumulation. In study 2, high-intensity cycling did not induce further fatigue to eccentrically-fatigued locomotor muscles. In both studies, there was a significant increase in heart rate in the fatigue condition, and perceived exertion was significantly increased in study 2 compared with control. These results suggest that locomotor muscle fatigue has a significant influence on cardiorespiratory responses and exercise performance during high-intensity cycling independently from metabolic stress. These effects seem to be mediated by the increased central motor command and perception of effort required to exercise with weaker locomotor muscles. 相似文献

Ten variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) regions identified within the complete genomic sequence of Clostridium botulinum strain ATCC 3502 were used to characterize 59 C. botulinum strains of the botulism neurotoxin A1 (BoNT/A1) to BoNT/A4 (BoNT/A1-A4) subtypes to determine their ability to discriminate among the serotype A strains. Two strains representing each of the C. botulinum serotypes B to G, including five bivalent strains, and two strains of the closely related species Clostridium sporogenes were also tested. Amplified fragment length polymorphism analyses revealed the genetic diversity among the serotypes and the high degree of similarity among many of the BoNT/A1 strains. The 10 VNTR markers amplified fragments within all of the serotype A strains but were less successful with strains of other serotypes. The composite multiple-locus VNTR analysis of the 59 BoNT/A1-A4 strains and 3 bivalent B strains identified 38 different genotypes. Thirty genotypes were identified among the 53 BoNT/A1 and BoNT/A1(B) strains, demonstrating discrimination below the subtype level. Contaminating DNA within crude toxin preparations of three BoNT/A subtypes (BoNT/A1 to BoNT/A3) also supported amplification of all of the VNTR regions. These markers provide clinical and forensics laboratories with a rapid, highly discriminatory tool to distinguish among C. botulinum BoNT/A1 strains for investigations of botulism outbreaks. 相似文献

Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (PCLD) is characterized by multiple liver cysts and is caused by mutations in PRKCSH (hepatocystin). Mechanisms of cystogenesis are unknown, but previous studies have shown that hepatocystin is secreted in vitro. The goal of this study was to determine the fate of hepatocystin in vivo. Using immunoprecipitation, we determined that mutant hepatocystin is secreted from both apical and basolateral cell surface of MDCK cells stably transfected with mutant hepatocystin. Analysis of 60 cyst fluid samples from polycystic livers using Western blot, MALDI-TOF MS or nLC-MS/MS did not detect hepatocystin in liver cyst fluid. We did identify 163 ubiquitous serum proteins. No paracrine or autocrine factors were recognized. Although cyst fluids vary greatly in protein concentration, a PCLD specific protein pattern was not established. In conclusion, hepatocystin is not secreted in PCLD liver cyst fluid, suggesting that mutant hepatocystin is either not produced or degraded intracellularly. PCLD cysts develop from intralobular bile ductules and cyst fluid mainly contains common serum proteins comparable to that of other polycystic diseases. 相似文献
