A theory is presented which quantitatively links the physical properties of a flagellum with parameters which characterize the chemical reactions responsible for deforming the flagellum. Realistic values for the wave parameters are predicted when order-of-magnitude values for the appropriate constants are used. The model may be useful in other fields where mechanochemical coupling occurs. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of Dolichos lablab lectin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mannose/glucose-binding Dolichos lablab lectin (designated DLL) has
been purified from seeds of Dolichos lablab (hyacinth bean) to
electrophoretic homogeneity by affinity chromatography on an ovalbumin-
Sepharose 4B column. The purified lectin gave a single symmetric protein
peak with an apparent molecular mass of 67 kDa on gel filtration
chromatography, and five bands ranging from 10 kDa to 22 kDa upon SDS-PAGE.
N-Terminal sequence analysis of these bands revealed subunit heterogeneity
due to posttranslational proteolytic truncation at different sites mostly
at the carboxyl terminus. The carbohydrate binding properties of the
purified lectin were investigated by three different approaches:
hemagglutination inhibition assay, quantitative precipitation inhibition
assay, and ELISA. On the basis of these studies, it is concluded that the
Dolichos lablab lectin has neither an extended carbohydrate combining site,
nor a hydrophobic binding site adjacent to it. The carbohydrate combining
site of DLL appears to most effectively accommodate a nonreducing terminal
alpha-d-mannosyl unit, and to be complementary to the C-3, C-4, and C-6
equatorial hydroxyl groups of alpha-d-mannopyranosyl and
alpha-d-glucopyranosyl residues. DLL strongly precipitates murine IgM but
not IgG, and the recent finding that this lectin interacts specifically
with NIH 3T3 fibroblasts transfected with the Flt3 tyrosine kinase receptor
and preserves human cord blood stem cells and progenitors in a quiescent
state for prolonged periods in culture, make this lectin a valuable tool in
biomedical research.

不同胁迫预处理提高水稻幼苗抗寒性期间蛋白质的变化 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
水稻(Oryza sativa L.)幼苗经盐、热激和冷三种不同胁迫预处理均提高了幼苗的抗寒性。与未预处理苗相比,在处理后、低温伤害后和常温下恢复2d的三个时期,不同胁迫预处理苗的可溶性和热不稳定蛋白含量变化趋势甚为相似,但热稳定蛋白含量变化则各有异同。SDS-PAGE图谱分析显示,不同胁迫预处理提高水稻幼苗抗寒性时,其可溶性蛋白、热稳定和热不稳定蛋白组成变化亦各有异同。除诱导出共有的新多肽外,还各自诱导出特有的新多肽。结果表明,植物对不同胁迫的交叉适应存在一定的共同机理,但亦可看出植物对同一种环境胁迫似乎不是以同一的机理去适应。 相似文献

Ciliary movement is caused by coordinated sliding interactions between the peripheral doublet microtubules of the axoneme. In demembranated organelles treated with trypsin and ATP, this sliding can be visualized during progressive disintegration. In this paper, microtubule sliding behavior resulting from various patterns of dynein arm activity and elastic link breakage is determined using a simplified model of the axoneme. The model consists of a cylindrical array of microtubules joined, initially, by elastic links, with the possibility of dynein arm interaction between microtubules. If no elastic links are broken, sliding can produce stable distortion of the model, which finds application to straight sections of a motile cilium. If some elastic links break, the model predicts a variety of sliding patterns, some of which match, qualitatively, the observed disintegration behavior of real axonemes. Splitting of the axoneme is most likely to occur between two doublets N and N + 1 when either the arms on doublet N + 1 are active and arms on doublet N are inactive or arms on doublet N - 1 are active while arms on doublet N are inactive. The analysis suggests further experimental studies which, in conjunction with the model, will lead to a more detailed understanding of the sliding mechanism, and will allow the mechanical properties of some axonemal components to be evaluated. 相似文献

The sampling and assay of bioaerosols are important ina number of industrial and health-care applications. Airborne microorganisms are notoriously difficult toenumerate accurately under such conditions and nosingle procedure is suitable for all applications. Problems are compounded by the differences in assaymethod or sampler type selected, making theinterpretation of results difficult.Understanding the airborne behaviour of microorganismsover a range of environmental conditions is vital ifprocedures are to be defined and recommended for theassessment of bioaerosols. Microorganisms that arerobust over a wide range of conditions are ideal astracer particles. Unfortunately, the large majorityof non-fungal bioaerosols are susceptible to damage. A predictable assessment procedure is required whichwill not affect the viability of the collectedsample.This paper examines how aerosolisation may affect the characteristics of two speciesof microorganism (Pseudomonas fluorescens andMS2 coliphage). It forms part of a larger programmeto develop standards for the assessment of biologicalparticles. The aim of the work was to develop procedures toexamine the effects of aerosolisation onmicroorganisms, with particular reference topre-aerosolisation protocol (spray suspension age) andpost-sampling handling protocol (aerosol age incollection solution). These procedures were then usedto examine the effect of recovery agents, addedto the spray suspension prior to aerosolisation, onthe culturability of E.coli.Aerosolisation reduces the culturability of P. fluorescensand the viability of viability of MS2coliphage. Pre-sampling and post-collection handlingand storage of these aerosolised microorganisms werealso found to have an effect. This and earlierstudies have shown that the culturable fraction ofmicroorganisms can be affected by the same factorsdescribed above. Of five microorganisms tested so farin the main programme, only Penicillium expansumspores were shown to be robust and stable with aconstant culturable fraction. Therefore, recommendinga particular microorganism (apart from P. expansum) as an airborne biological standard foraerosol studies is not advised. It is recommendedthat a microorganism, representative of the envisagedapplication, be characterised it in terms of theaerosolisation parameters, storage time and conditionsin the manner reported in this study. This can beachieved using the experimental equipment described.The addition of 0.1 mM concentrations of the sugarsinositol, trehalose and raffinose to spray suspensionsof Escherichia coli, prior to aerosolisation,made no significant difference to the culturablefraction of the aerosol. 相似文献
