A method for polyethylene conjugation with recombinant asparaginase has been developed to improve therapeutically important properties of enzyme. Methoxy-p-nitrophenyl carbamate of polyethylene glycol with molecular weight 5000 was employed as the modification reagent. Optimization of the pegylation procedure resulted in high level of enzyme modification. Under 4.5 molar excess of the modification reagent more than 10 molecules of methoxy-polyethylene bound per one asparaginase molecular. The modified asparaginase retained 57% of initial activity. A simple and efficient pegylation procedure described in this work can be used for production of asparaginase with improved therapeutic properties. 相似文献

Bacterial L-asparaginases catalyzing hydrolysis of L-asparagine to L-aspartate and ammonia, are used in medical practice for treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The long-term therapy with these preparations is accompanied by a number of side effects, which are attributed to glutaminase activity of L-asparaginase. Substrate specificity and activity of L-asparaginases are directly associated with the oligomerization process of this enzyme, which is active only as the tetramer because its active sites are located in the contact areas between monomers. The present work is devoted to homology modeling of spatial structure of L-asparaginase from Erwinia carotovora, the comparative molecular-graphic analysis of subunit interfaces, and the development of a new experimental approach for studies of enzyme oligomerization. L-Asparaginase was immobilized on a surface of CM5 optical chip of biosensor Biacore 3000, which is based on the surface plasmon resonance technology. The dissociation process of enzyme tetrameric complexes up to monomers and subsequent oligomerization process have been registered. 相似文献

To gain greater insight into the nature of the bleeding tendency in hemophilia, we compared the spatial dynamics of clotting in platelet-free plasma from healthy donors and from patients with severe hemophilia A or B (factor VIII:C or IX:C<1%). Clotting was initiated via the intrinsic or extrinsic pathway in a thin layer of nonstirred plasma by bringing it in contact with the glass or fibroblast monolayer surface. The results suggest that clot growth is a process consisting of two distinct phases, initiation and elongation. The clotting events on the activator surface and the preceding period free of visible signs of clotting are the initiation phase. In experiments with and without stirring alike, this phase is prolonged in hemophilic plasma activated by the intrinsic, but not the extrinsic pathway. Strikingly, both hemophilia A and B are associated with a significant deterioration in the elongation phase (clot thickening), irrespective of the activation pathway. The rate of clot growth in hemophilic plasma is significantly lower than normal and declines quickly. The resulting clots are thin, which may account for the bleeding disorder. 相似文献

The spatiotemporal dynamics of clot growth was studied in non-stirred non-recalcified plasma where thrombin entered by diffusion. Under these conditions, the clot rapidly grew for 30-45 min and then stopped growing on reaching 0.4-0.5 mm in size. The dynamics of clot growth and its size almost did not depend on the thrombin concentration in the range from 50 to 400 nM. FITC-thrombin was shown to permeate the growing clot. The clot size in antithrombin-deficient plasma increases with decreasing antithrombin concentration, being 1.5 mm in the plasma depleted of antithrombin to 5% of its initial level. The data on the spatial distribution of amidolytic activity in the growth zone of the clot suggested that thrombin was not the sole source of this activity. Analysis showed that this additional activity arising during thrombin diffusion into plasma was largely accounted for by thrombin-alpha(2)-macroglobulin complex. 相似文献

Background
An impediment to the rational development of novel drugs against tuberculosis (TB) is a general paucity of knowledge concerning the metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly during infection. Constraint-based modeling provides a novel approach to investigating microbial metabolism but has not yet been applied to genome-scale modeling of M. tuberculosis. 相似文献6.

The use of graduated compression stockings (GCS) in sport has been increasing in the last years due to their potential positive effects for athletes. However, there is little evidence to support whether these types of garments actually improve cardiorespiratory performance. The aim of this study was to examine the cardiorespiratory responses of GCS during running after three weeks of regular use. Twenty recreational runners performed three tests on different days: test 1) – a 5-min maximal effort run in order to determine the participants’ maximal aerobic speed; and tests 2) and 3) – a fatigue running test of 30 minutes at 80% of their maximal aerobic speed with either GCS or PLACEBO stockings at random. Cardiorespiratory parameters (minute ventilation, heart rate, relative oxygen consumption, relative carbon dioxide production, ventilatory equivalents for oxygen and carbon dioxide, and oxygen pulse) were measured. Before each test in the laboratory, the participants trained with the randomly assigned stockings (GCS or PLACEBO) for three weeks. No significant differences between GCS and PLACEBO were found in any of the cardiorespiratory parameters. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that running with GCS for three weeks does not influence cardiorespiratory parameters in recreational runners. 相似文献

In this study, we genetically characterized the Uruguayan pig breed Pampa Rocha.
Genetic variability was assessed by analyzing a panel of 25 microsatellite markers
from a sample of 39 individuals. Pampa Rocha pigs showed high genetic variability
with observed and expected heterozygosities of 0.583 and 0.603, respectively. The
mean number of alleles was 5.72. Twenty-four markers were polymorphic, with 95.8% of
them in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. The level of endogamy was low (FIS =
0.0475). A factorial analysis of correspondence was used to assess the genetic
differences between Pampa Rocha and other pig breeds; genetic distances were
calculated, and a tree was designed to reflect the distance matrix. Individuals were
also allocated into clusters. This analysis showed that the Pampa Rocha breed was
separated from the other breeds along the first and second axes. The
neighbour-joining tree generated by the genetic distances DA showed
clustering of Pampa Rocha with the Meishan breed. The allocation of individuals to
clusters showed a clear separation of Pampa Rocha pigs. These results provide
insights into the genetic variability of Pampa Rocha pigs and indicate that this
breed is a well-defined genetic entity. 相似文献

Background
In mammals, contrary to what is usually assumed, recent evidence suggests that synonymous mutations may not be selectively neutral. This position has proven contentious, not least because of the absence of a viable mechanism. Here we test whether synonymous mutations might be under selection owing to their effects on the thermodynamic stability of mRNA, mediated by changes in secondary structure. 相似文献9.
糖尿病微血管病变严重影响了患者生活质量,是患者致死致残主要原因。微血管病变主要表现在视网膜、肾、神经、心肌组织。微血管病变的机制尚未完全清楚,近年越来越多研究发现血管内皮祖细胞(endothelial progenitor cells,EPCs)是该病发病重要原因。EPCs有分化为成熟的内皮细胞并且参与新血管形成和新生的能力。正常情况下内皮损失和EPCs对内皮的修复作用处于动态平衡状态,一旦EPCs受损,内皮损害和修复之间的平衡被打破,内皮层的完整性遭到破坏,必然参与糖尿病血管病变的发生发展。国内外大量研究证明糖尿病合并大血管病变EPCs数目功能改变,而糖尿病合并微血管病变EPCs的怎样变化?本文就EPCs与糖尿病微血管病变的关系进行系统综述。 相似文献

The armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is the principal pest of corn in Brazil. Control is achieved primarily by synthetic insecticides, which cause problems for the agro-ecosystem. Alternative methods of control are under investigation and citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) essential oil appears to be a promising agent. We investigated the effects of citronella oil using histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. The midgut of larvae treated with citronella exhibited altered epithelium including cytoplasmic protrusions, columnar cell extrusion, pyknotic nuclei, and increased periodic acid-Schiff positive granules. Regenerative cells in the epithelium of the midgut increased in number, which facilitated subsequent regeneration of this tissue. After exposure to citronella, trophocytes, the principal cell type of the fat body, possessed enlarged vacuoles and mitotic bodies, and contained reduced amounts of glycogen, lipid, and protein. Citronella oil caused morphological changes of the midgut and reduction of stored resources in the fat body, which may adversely affect insect reproduction and survival. 相似文献
