L1 retroposons are represented in mice by subfamilies of interspersed
sequences of varied abundance. Previous analyses have indicated that
subfamilies are generated by duplicative transposition of a small number of
members of the L1 family, the progeny of which then become a major
component of the murine L1 population, and are not due to any active
processes generating homology within preexisting groups of elements in a
particular species. In mice, more than a third of the L1 elements belong to
a clade that became active approximately 5 Mya and whose elements are >
or = 95% identical. We have collected sequence information from 13 L1
elements isolated from two species of voles (Rodentia: Microtinae: Microtus
and Arvicola) and have found that divergence within the vole L1 population
is quite different from that in mice, in that there is no abundant
subfamily of homologous elements. Individual L1 elements from voles are
very divergent from one another and belong to a clade that began a period
of elevated duplicative transposition approximately 13 Mya. Sequence
analyses of portions of these divergent L1 elements (approximately 250 bp
each) gave no evidence for concerted evolution having acted on the vole L1
elements since the split of the two vole lineages approximately 3.5 Mya;
that is, the observed interspecific divergence (6.7%-24.7%) is not larger
than the intraspecific divergence (7.9%-27.2%), and phylogenetic analyses
showed no clustering into Arvicola and Microtus clades.

Maintenance of a high degree of biodiversity in homogeneous environments is poorly understood. A complex cheese starter culture with a long history of use was characterized as a model system to study simple microbial communities. Eight distinct genetic lineages were identified, encompassing two species: Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The genetic lineages were found to be collections of strains with variable plasmid content and phage sensitivities. Kill-the-winner hypothesis explaining the suppression of the fittest strains by density-dependent phage predation was operational at the strain level. This prevents the eradication of entire genetic lineages from the community during propagation regimes (back-slopping), stabilizing the genetic heterogeneity in the starter culture against environmental uncertainty. 相似文献

Irisin was first identified in muscle cells. We detected irisin immunoreactivity in various organs of the crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata). In the epidermis, irisin immunoreactivity was localized mainly in stratum basale, stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum layers; immunoreactivity was not observed in the stratum corneum. In the dermis, irisin was found in the external and internal root sheath, cortex and medulla of hair follicles, and in sebaceous glands. Irisin immunoreactivity was found in the neural retina and skeletal muscle fibers associated with the eye. The pineal and thyroid glands also exhibited irisin immunoreactivity. 相似文献

Background
In a project to determine the causes of winter mortality in reindeer in Finnmark County, northern Norway, the most frequent diagnosis turned out to be complete emaciation, despite several of the reindeer having been given silage for up to 4 weeks before they died. The present paper describes autopsy results and other findings in these animals. 相似文献8.
As part of a large international project for standardization of PCR (Food-PCR; www.pcr.dk), a multiplex, multiplatform, ready-to-go enrichment followed by a real-time PCR method, including an internal amplification control, was developed for detection of food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters in chickens. Chicken rinse samples were enriched in Bolton broth for 20 h, a simple and rapid (1-h) resin-based DNA extraction was performed, and DNA samples were then tested with two instrument platforms: ABI-PRISM 7700 and RotorGene 3000. The method was validated against an International Standard Organization (ISO)-based culture method by testing low, medium, and high levels of 12 spiked and 66 unspiked, presumably naturally contaminated, chicken rinse samples. In the RotorGene, a positive PCR response was detected in 40 samples of the 66. This was in complete agreement with the enriched ISO culture. The ABI-PRISM 7700 missed one culture-positive sample. Positive samples contained 10(2) to 10(7) CFU/ml after enrichment in Bolton broth. In the enriched samples a detection probability of 95% was obtained at levels of 1 x 10(3) and 2 x 10(3) CFU/ml in the RotorGene and ABI-PRISM, respectively. The amplification efficiency in both platforms was 90%, although the linear range of amplification of purified genomic DNA was 1.5 x 10(1) to 1 x 10(7) (R(2) = 1.00) for the RotorGene and 10(3) to 10(7) (R(2) = 0.99) for the ABI-PRISM. In RotorGene and ABI-PRISM the levels of precision of detection as determined by standard deviation (coefficients of variation) of 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) threshold cycle (Ct) values were 0.184 to 0.417 (0.65 to 2.57%) and 0.119 to 0.421 (0.59 to 1.82%), respectively. The results showed a correlation (R(2)) of 0.94 between the target FAM Ct values and CFU per milliliter of enriched naturally contaminated chicken samples, which indicates PCR's additional potential as a tool for quantitative risk assessment. Signal from the internal amplification control was detected in all culture-negative samples (VIC Ct: 23.1 to 28.1). The method will be taken further and validated in an international collaborative trial with regard to standardization. 相似文献

In previous studies we have shown that sulfatide (galactosylceramide-3-O-sulfate), in various species, is present in the insulin-producing cells in pancreatic islets of Langerhans. In this study the synthesis of sulfatide in the islets has been investigated by pulse chase labeling at varying glucose levels and in the presence or absence of the glycosphingolipid synthesis inhibitory agents, Brefeldin A, fumonisin B1 and chloroquine and the distribution of sulfatide by immune-electronmicroscopy. The data showed that (1) sulfatide was produced in islets of Langerhans, (2) the main pathway for synthesis was through recycling involving partial degradation in the lysosome, and that (3) high glucose levels, although not primarily reflected in an increased synthesis of sulfatide, lead to an increased expression of mRNA for the UDP-galactose:ceramide galactosyltransferase, producing the immediate precursor of sulfatide. Furthermore, mass spectrometry analyses revealed a high proportion of short chain fatty acids, C16:0 (50%) and no hydroxylated forms and thus special physicochemical properties, indicating important differences between pancreatic and brain/neural sulfatide. Immune electron microscopy revealed an intracellular expression of sulfatide in the secretory granules, the Golgi network and the lysosomes of the islets. These results indicate that sulfatide follows the same intracellular route as insulin and suggest a functional association between these molecules. We have raised the hypothesis that sulfatide possibly plays a role in the trafficking of insulin in the islets of Langerhans in rat pancreas. 相似文献

The Pm promoter inserted chromosomally or in broad-host-range replicons based on plasmid RSF1010 or RK2 are useful systems for both high- and low-level expression of cloned genes in several gram-negative bacterial species. The positive Pm regulator XylS is activated by certain substituted benzoic acid derivatives, and here we show that these effectors induce expression of Pm at similar relative ranking levels in both Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa However, the kinetics of expression was not the same in the two organisms. Different carbon sources and dissolved oxygen levels displayed limited effects on expression, but surprisingly the pH of the growth medium was found to be of major importance. By combining the effects of genetic and environmental parameters, expression from Pm could be varied over a ten-thousand- to a hundred-thousand-fold continuous range, and as an example of its applications we showed that Pm can be used to control the xanthan biosynthesis in Xanthomonas campestris. 相似文献
