Polygalacturonase (Peh) and other pectolytic enzymes play a crucial role in the maceration of vegetables by soft rot Erwinia spp. We have sequenced the peh gene of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, and identified its product as a precursor of molecular weight 42,639, and a mature protein of molecular weight 42,200. A putative KdgR-binding site was identified in the region 5' to the peh gene. The Peh protein showed significant homology with Peh from tomato. In addition, we have found homologies between pectin methylesterase and pectate lyase from Erwinia and their counterparts in tomato. These homologies are described, and their significance discussed. 相似文献

The pem locus, which is responsible for the stable maintenance of the low copy number plasmid R100, contains the pemK gene, whose product has been shown to be a growth inhibitor. Here, we attempted to isolate mutants which became tolerant to transient induction of the PemK protein. We obtained 20 mutants (here called pkt for PemK tolerance), of which 9 were temperature sensitive for growth. We analyzed the nine mutants genetically and found that they could be classified into three complementation groups, pktA, pktB and pktC, which corresponded to three genes, ileS, gltX and asnS, encoding isoleucyl-, glutamyl- and asparaginyl-tRNA synthetases, respectively. Since these aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase mutants did not produce the PemK protein upon induction at the restrictive temperature, these mutants could be isolated because they behaved as if they were tolerant to the PemK protein. The procedure is therefore useful for isolating temperature-sensitive mutants of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. 相似文献

Intrinsic protein fluorescence may interfere with the visualization of proteins after SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis. In an attempt to analyze tear glycoproteins in gels, we ran tear samples and stained the proteins with a glycoprotein-specific fluorescent dye. The fluorescence detected was not limited to glycoproteins. There was strong intrinsic fluorescence of proteins normally found in tears after soaking the gels in 40% methanol plus 1-10% acetic acid and, to a lesser extent, in methanol or acetic acid alone. Nanograms of proteins gave visible native fluorescence and interfere with extrinsic fluorescent dye detection. Poly-L-lysine, which does not contain intrinsically fluorescent amino acids, did not fluoresce. 相似文献

We have used selective inhibitors to determine whether the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) has an effect on both recombinant and native human P2X1 receptors. P2X1 receptor currents in HEK293 cells were reduced by ∼70–85% by the selective HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin (2 μm, 20 min). This was associated with a speeding in the time course of desensitization as well as a reduction in cell surface expression. Imaging in real time of photoactivatable GFP-tagged P2X receptors showed that they are highly mobile. Geldanamycin almost abolished this movement for P2X1 receptors but had no effect on P2X2 receptor trafficking. P2X1/2 receptor chimeras showed that the intracellular N and C termini were involved in geldanamycin sensitivity. Geldanamycin also inhibited native P2X1 receptor-mediated responses. Platelet P2X1 receptors play an important role in hemostasis, contribute to amplification of signaling to a range of stimuli including collagen, and are novel targets for antithrombotic therapies. Platelet P2X1 receptor-, but not P2Y1 receptor-, mediated increases in intracellular calcium were reduced by 40–45% following HSP90 inhibition with geldanamycin or radicicol. Collagen stimulation leads to ATP release from platelets, and calcium increases to low doses of collagen were also reduced by ∼40% by the HSP90 inhibitors consistent with an effect on P2X1 receptors. These studies suggest that HSP90 inhibitors may be as effective as selective antagonists in regulating platelet P2X1 receptors, and their potential effects on hemostasis should be considered in clinical studies. 相似文献

A sampling-based method for estimating the accuracy of estimated breeding values using an animal model is presented. Empirical variances of true and estimated breeding values were estimated from a simulated n-sample. The method was validated using a small data set from the Parthenaise breed with the estimated coefficient of determination converging to the true values. It was applied to the French Salers data file used for the 2000 on-farm evaluation (IBOVAL) of muscle development score. A drawback of the method is its computational demand. Consequently, convergence can not be achieved in a reasonable time for very large data files. Two advantages of the method are that a) it is applicable to any model (animal, sire, multivariate, maternal effects...) and b) it supplies off-diagonal coefficients of the inverse of the mixed model equations and can therefore be the basis of connectedness studies. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine the genetic structure, evolutionary relationships, and the genetic diversity among 18 local cattle breeds from Spain, Portugal, and France using 16 microsatellites. Heterozygosities, estimates of Fst, genetic distances, multivariate and diversity analyses, and assignment tests were performed. Heterozygosities ranged from 0.54 in the Pirenaica breed to 0.72 in the Barrosã breed. Seven percent of the total genetic variability can be attributed to differences among breeds (mean Fst = 0.07; P < 0.01). Five different genetic distances were computed and compared with no correlation found to be significantly different from 0 between distances based on the effective size of the population and those which use the size of the alleles. The Weitzman recursive approach and a multivariate analysis were used to measure the contribution of the breeds diversity. The Weitzman approach suggests that the most important breeds to be preserved are those grouped into two clusters: the cluster formed by the Mirandesa and Alistana breeds and that of the Sayaguesa and Tudanca breeds. The hypothetical extinction of one of those clusters represents a 17% loss of diversity. A correspondence analysis not only distinguished four breed groups but also confirmed results of previous studies classifying the important breeds contributing to diversity. In addition, the variation between breeds was sufficiently high so as to allow individuals to be assigned to their breed of origin with a probability of 99% for simulated samples. 相似文献

A study of bacterial surface oligosaccharides were investigated among
different strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to correlate structural features
essential for binding to the MAb 2C7. This epitope is widely expressed and
conserved in gonococcal isolates, characteristics essential to an effective
candidate vaccine antigen. Sample lipooligosaccharides (LOS), was prepared
by a modification of the hot phenol-water method from which de-O-acetylated
LOS and oligosaccharide (OS) components were analyzed by ES-MS-CID-MS and
ES-MSnin a triple quadrupole and an ion trap mass spectrometer,
respectively. Previously documented natural heterogeneity was apparent from
both LOS and OS preparations which was admixed with fragments induced by
hydrazine and mild acid treatment. Natural heterogeneity was limited to
phosphorylation and antenni extensions to the alpha-chain. Mild acid
hydrolysis to release OS also hydrolyzed the beta(1-->6) glycosidic
linkage of lipid A. OS structures were determined by collisional and
resonance excitation combined with MS and multistep MSn which provided
sequence information from both neutral loss, and nonreducing terminal
fragments. A comparison of OS structures, with earlier knowledge of MAb
binding, enzyme treatment, and partial acid hydrolysis indicates a generic
overlapping domain for 2C7 binding. Reoccurring structural features include
a Hepalpha(1-->3)Hepbeta(1-->5)KDO trisaccharide core branched on the
nonreducing terminus (Hep-2) with an alpha(1-->2) linked GlcNAc
(gamma-chain), and an alpha-linked lactose (beta-chain) residue. From the
central heptose (Hep-1), a beta(1-->4) linked lactose (alpha-chain),
moiety is required although extensions to this residue appear unnecessary.

In this contribution, we show that by biopatterning probe molecules at the nanoscale using soft-lithography, we can produce protein biochips at a cost sufficiently small for their use as a systematic method of molecular analysis for medical diagnosis purposes. The combination of multiplexed nanoscale Micro-Contact printing and label-free optical detection using the principle of light diffraction, is implemented for generating engineered glass slides of analysis and a dedicated diffractive scanner for reading the multiplexed results of an assay. 相似文献
