Ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized clinically by neurological symptoms with often striking resemblance to those of Friedreich ataxia. This disorder has been reported previously as familial isolated vitamin E deficiency. We have mapped recently the AVED locus to a 5-cM confidence interval on chromosome 8q by homozygosity mapping in six Mediterranean families. We have now analyzed six new and two previously described families and demonstrate genetic homogeneity despite important clinical variability and wide geographic origins. Analysis of nine new tightly linked microsatellite markers, including four characterized in this study, revealed a predominant but not unique mutation in northern African populations, where this condition is more frequent. Haplotype analysis but also classical recombinations allowed us to refine the AVED position to a 1-cM interval. A YAC contig over this interval was constructed from marker STSs and YAC fingerprint data, in order to facilitate the search of the AVED gene. 相似文献

Engineered nucleases, which incise the genome at predetermined sites, have a number of laboratory and clinical applications. There is, however, a need for better methods for controlled intracellular delivery of nucleases. Here, we demonstrate a method for ligand-mediated delivery of zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) proteins using transferrin receptor-mediated endocytosis. Uptake is rapid and efficient in established mammalian cell lines and in primary cells, including mouse and human hematopoietic stem-progenitor cell populations. In contrast to cDNA expression, ZFN protein levels decline rapidly following internalization, affording better temporal control of nuclease activity. We show that transferrin-mediated ZFN uptake leads to site-specific in situ cleavage of the target locus. Additionally, despite the much shorter duration of ZFN activity, the efficiency of gene correction approaches that seen with cDNA-mediated expression. The approach is flexible and general, with the potential for extension to other targeting ligands and nuclease architectures. 相似文献

BackgroundMouse transgenesis has provided the unique opportunity to investigate mechanisms underlying sodium kidney reabsorption as well as end organ damage. However, understanding mouse background and the experimental conditions effects on phenotypic readouts of engineered mouse lines such as blood pressure presents a challenge. Despite the ability to generate high sodium and chloride plasma levels during high-salt diet, observed changes in blood pressure are not consistent between wild-type background strains and studies.MethodsThe present work was designed in an attempt to determine guidelines in the field of salt-induced hypertension by recording continuously blood pressure by telemetry in mice submitted to different sodium and potassium loaded diets and changing experimental conditions in both C57BL/6N and C57BL/6J mice strain (Normal salt vs. Low salt vs. High-salt/normal potassium vs. High salt/low potassium, standard vs. modified light cycle, Non-invasive tail cuff blood pressure vs. telemetry).ResultsIn this study, we have shown that, despite a strong blood pressure (BP) basal difference between C57BL/6N and C57BL/6J mice, High salt/normal potassium diet increases BP and heart rate during the active phase only (dark period) in the same extent in both strains. On the other hand, while potassium level has no effect on salt-induced hypertension in C57BL/6N mice, high-salt/low potassium diet amplifies the effect of the high-salt challenge only in C57BL/6J mice. Indeed, in this condition, salt-induced hypertension can also be detected during light period even though this BP increase is lower compared to the one occurring during the dark period. Finally, from a methodological perspective, light cycle inversion has no effect on this circadian BP phenotype and tail-cuff method is less sensitive than telemetry to detect BP phenotypes due to salt challenges.ConclusionsTherefore, to carry investigations on salt-induced hypertension in mice, chronic telemetry and studies in the active phase are essential prerequisites. 相似文献

Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorders. Both "uncomplicated" and "complicated" forms have been described with various modes of inheritance. Sixteen loci for autosomal-recessive "complicated" HSP have been mapped. The SPG15 locus was first reported to account for a rare form of spastic paraplegia variably associated with mental impairment, pigmented maculopathy, dysarthria, cerebellar signs, and distal amyotrophy, sometimes designated as Kjellin syndrome. Here, we report the refinement of SPG15 to a 2.64 Mb genetic interval on chromosome 14q23.3-q24.2 and the identification of ZFYVE26, which encodes a zinc-finger protein with a FYVE domain that we named spastizin, as the cause of SPG15. Six different truncating mutations were found to segregate with the disease in eight families with a phenotype that included variable clinical features of Kjellin syndrome. ZFYVE26 mRNA was widely distributed in human tissues, as well as in rat embryos, suggesting a possible role of this gene during embryonic development. In the adult rodent brain, its expression profile closely resembled that of SPG11, another gene responsible for complicated HSP. In cultured cells, spastizin colocalized partially with markers of endoplasmic reticulum and endosomes, suggesting a role in intracellular trafficking. 相似文献

In this report, we present the identification of the main polypeptides that are extracted from purified cell walls of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mnn1 mnn9 strain by reducing agents. Treatment of the purified cell walls of this strain with beta-mercaptoethanol releases several mannoproteins, of which three, with apparent sizes of 120, 45, and 40 kDa, are the most abundant. Analysis of the amino-terminal sequences revealed that the 120-kDa mannoprotein is Bar1p, the protease involved in the so-called barrier activity in yeast cells, and that the 45- and 40-kDa mannoproteins are the Kex2-unprocessed and Kex2-processed forms of the gene product of open reading frame (ORF) YJL158c, an ORF that belongs to the PIR (protein with internal repeats) family of genes, composed thus far of PIR1, PIR2/HSP150, and PIR3. Accordingly we have named this gene PIR4, and Pir4 denotes the 40-kDa Kex2-processed form of the mannoprotein. We have characterized Pir4 and have shown the feasibility of using it as a fusion partner for the targeting of recombinant proteins to the cell wall. 相似文献

The HIV‐1 integrase is an attractive target for the therapeutics development against AIDS, as no host homologue of this protein has been identified. The integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), including raltegravir, specifically target the second catalytic step of the integration process by binding to the DDE motif of the catalytic site and coordinating Mg2+ ions. Recent X‐ray crystallographic structures of the integrase/DNA complex from prototype foamy virus allowed to investigate the role of the different partners (integrase, DNA, Mg2+ ions, raltegravir) in the complex stability using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The presence of Mg2+ ions is found to be essential for the stability, whereas the simultaneous presence of raltegravir and Mg2+ ions has a destabilizing influence. A homology model of HIV‐1 integrase was built on the basis of the X‐ray crystallographic information, and protein marker residues for the ligand binding were detected by clustering the docking poses of known HIV‐1 integrase inhibitors on the model. Interestingly, we had already identified some of these residues to be involved in HIV‐1 resistance mutations and in the stabilization of the catalytic site during the MD simulations. Classification of protein conformations along MD simulations, as well as of ligand docking poses, was performed by using an original learning method, based on self‐organizing maps. This allows us to perform a more in‐depth investigation of the free‐energy basins populated by the complex in MD simulations on the one hand, and a straightforward classification of ligands according to their binding residues on the other hand.

During the period 12 July 1985 to 23 December 1987, water samples were collected in two-week intervals for estimates ofAeromonas species in a waste treatment system located in the arid region of Marrakech, Morocco. Fecal coliforms, temperature, and chemical
oxygen demand were measured simultaneously withAeromonas species densities. Statistical methods were utilized to analyze the significance of average differences and temporal patterns
ofAeromonas species numbers.
Removal ofAeromonas in the whole system did not exceed 1.14 log.Aeromonas densities showed significantly higher resistance to the treatment process when compared with fecal coliforms; however, abundance
of the two groups presented a similar seasonal change. The highest numbers occurred during the cold months, while the lowest
appeared in the warm months. Statistical time-series analyses of the densities data showed the seasonal and cyclic distribution
ofAeromonas in this treatment plant.
These temporal changes were simultaneously observed in all the stations investigated and were negatively correlated with water
temperature values.
Aeromonas populations were dominated byA. caviae andA. hydrophila in the inlet samples. These two species were rapidly eliminated in the treatment plant. The temporal distribution ofA. caviae was similar to the change in densities ofAeromonas and fecal coliforms. The seasonal fluctuations of abundance ofAeromonas were probably related to this species, which dominated in the winter samples but dropped during the summer. Meanwhile,A. sobria dominated all the final effluent samples. This greater survival ofA. sobria and its known pathogenicity may limit the re-use of treated water for irrigation of fodder plants. 相似文献
