The Caenorhabditis elegans excretory cell extends tubular processes, called canals, along the basolateral surface of the epidermis. Mutations in the exc-5 gene cause tubulocystic defects in this canal. Ultrastructural analysis suggests that exc-5 is required for the proper placement of cytoskeletal elements at the apical epithelial surface. exc-5 encodes a protein homologous to guanine nucleotide exchange factors and contains motif architecture similar to that of FGD1, which is responsible for faciogenital dysplasia. exc-5 interacts genetically with mig-2, which encodes Rho GTPase. These results suggest that EXC-5 controls the structural organization of the excretory canal by regulating Rho family GTPase activities. 相似文献

Summary The frequency of spontaneous 6-thioguanine (TG)-resistant peripheral blood lymphocytes in five unrelated Werner syndrome (WS) patients was determined using an autoradiographic labeling assay. The average frequency of TG-resistant lymphocytes was eightfold higher in WS patients than in sex- and age-matched normal control donors. This finding and previous identification of increased spontaneous chromosomal rearrangements and deletions in WS cells or cell lines suggest that WS is a human genomic instability or mutator syndrome. 相似文献

Bordetella bronchiseptica strains isolated from the nasal cavities of young pigs in Japan from 1969 to 1972 were surveyed for drug resistance and distribution of R factors. Of 304 strains examined, 71 (23%) were resistant to either one or more of following three drugs, streptomycin (SM), sulfadimethoxine (SA), and aminobenzyl penicillin (APC). Triple (SM.SA.APC)-resistance was most frequent among these resistant strains. Strains of double (SM. SA)- or single (SM)- and (SA)-resistance were also isolated, but were very few in numbers. Of the 71 drug-resistant strains, 61 (86%) were found to carry R factors which were capable of conjugal transfer. All of these R factors had the triple (SM.SA.APC)-resistant markers and were identified as fi– (no fertility inhibition) type. The (SM.SA.APC)-resistant strains carrying R factors had been isolated from pigs reared on various farms in different districts, and consequently the prevalence of B. bronchiseptica strains carrying R factors was considered to be relatively wide-spread in young pigs. 相似文献

In the course of study on citric acid fermentation by Candida tropicalis KY6224, in which n-alkane mixture (C–12 to C–15) was used as the sole source of carbon, we found that a arabitollike substance was accumulated when the medium-pH was controlled at low level (3.0 to 4.0). This substance was isolated in crystalline forms and identified as d-arabitol.d-Arabitol production was also observed with ethanol, acetic acid and glucose as the sole source of carbon. Important factors for efficient production of d-arabitol were keeping the medium-pH at low-level (3.0 to 4.0) and the concentration of NaCl or KCl at high level (1 to 5%). This strain produced 75 mg/ml of d-arabitol in 120 hr incubation under optimal culture conditions; this corresponds to 50 % of n-alkane consumed. 相似文献

In the course of study on citric acid fermentation by Candida zeylanoides, in which n-alkane (a mixture of C–12 to C–15) was used as the sole source of carbon, we found that a polyol-like substance was accumulated when the medium-pH fell down to below 4.0. This was isolated in crystalline forms and identified as meso-erythritol. Comparing erythritol production among fifty yeast strains, Candida zeylanoides, particularly its glycerol-requiring mutant KY 6166, was found to be an excellent producer.Erythritol production was also observed with ethanol or acetic acid as the sole carbon source but not with glucose. An efficient condition for large production of erythritol was to keep the medium-pH at low level (2.5 to 4.0) and the concentration of NaCl or KCl at high level (1 to 3%). Under conditions established in this work, more than 55 mg/ml of erythritol was successfully produced in 120 hr incubation in 300-ml flasks, which corresponded to 55% of the alkane used. 相似文献

Objective: The objective was to test effects of aerobic exercise training on metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) improvement in response to weight reduction. Research Methods and Procedures: A total of 459 overweight and obese women (age, 49 ± 9 years; BMI, 28 ± 3 kg/m2) were recruited for a baseline examination to test the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and metabolic syndrome prevalence; among these, 67 subjects with MetSyn were treated with 14‐week weight‐loss programs, which included low‐calorie diet and aerobic exercise. The MetSyn was defined according to the Examination Committee of Criteria for “Metabolic Syndrome” in Japan. Maximal oxygen uptake (V?o 2max) during a maximal cycling test was measured as an index of cardiorespiratory fitness at baseline and after the intervention. Results: In the baseline examination, age‐ and BMI‐adjusted odds ratios for MetSyn prevalence in the low, middle, and upper thirds of V?o 2max were 1.0 (referent), 0.50 (95% confidence interval, 0.26 to 0.95), and 0.39 (95% confidence interval, 0.14 to 0.96), respectively (linear trend, p = 0.02). The adjusted odds ratios for MetSyn improvement in the two interventions with diet alone and diet plus exercise were 1.0 and 3.68 (95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 17.6; p = 0.04), respectively. Discussion: These results suggest that adding aerobic exercise training to a dietary weight‐reduction program further improves MetSyn (adjusted odds ratio, 3.68) in obese women, compared with diet alone. Further studies on an association between V?o 2max change and MetSyn improvement are needed. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exercise training on ventricular epicardial fat thickness in obese men and to investigate the relationship of the change in epicardial fat thickness to changes in abdominal fat tissue following exercise training. Twenty-four obese middle-aged men [age, 49.4 +/- 9.6 yr; weight, 87.7 +/- 11.2 kg; body mass index (BMI), 30.7 +/- 3.3 kg/m(2); peak oxygen consumption, 28.4 +/- 7.2 ml.kg(-1).min(-1); means +/- SD] participated in this study. Each participant completed a 12-wk supervised exercise training program (60-70% of the maximal heart rate; 60 min/day, 3 days/wk) and underwent a transthoracic echocardiography. The epicardial fat thickness on the free wall of the right ventricle was measured from both parasternal long- and short-axis views. The visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissues were measured by computed tomography. Following exercise training, the epicardial fat thickness was significantly decreased (P < 0.001). The percentage change of epicardial fat thickness was twice as high compared with those of waist, BMI, and body weight of original values (P <0.05). There was a significant relationship (r = 0.525, P = 0.008) between changes in the epicardial fat thickness and VAT with exercise training. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the change in VAT, change in systolic blood pressure, and change in quantitative insulin sensitivity check index were independently related to the change epicardial fat thickness (P < 0.05). The ventricular epicardial fat thickness is reduced significantly after aerobic exercise training and is associated with a decrease in VAT. These results suggest that aerobic exercise training may be an effective nonpharmacological strategy for decreasing the ventricular epicardial fat thickness and visceral fat area in obese middle-aged men. 相似文献
