Sharka caused by plum pox virus (PPV) is a disease spread in France since 1970, and causing severe damages essentially on apricot but also on plums and peach. Cherry is generally considered as not infected by PPV. Experimental transmissions by chip budding or aphids allowed to show that 3 isolates of PPV can multiply inside three cherry rootstocks (P. Mahaleb cv.‘SL 64′, P. avium cv.‘F 12-1′, and P. avium*P. pseudocerasus cv. ‘Colt') (Tables 1 and 2). But generally, the virus remained localized to the infection site and disappeared quickly (Table 3). Typical symptoms of chlorotic ringspot or vein clearing are also limited to the leaves probed by the aphids. The fact that no translocation was detected is discussed. 相似文献

Histone modifications might act to mark and maintain functional chromatin domains during both interphase and mitosis. Here we show that pericentric heterochromatin in mammalian cells is specifically responsive to prolonged treatment with deacetylase inhibitors. These defined regions relocate at the nuclear periphery and lose their properties of retaining HP1 (heterochromatin protein 1) proteins. Subsequent defects in chromosome segregation arise in mitosis. All these changes can reverse rapidly after drug removal. Our data point to a crucial role of histone underacetylation within pericentric heterochromatin regions for their association with HP1 proteins, their nuclear compartmentalization and their contribution to centromere function. 相似文献

This paper describes a multicomponent approach to novel totally protected precursors of PNA-monomers via Ugi 4CC. The obtained bisamides are converted into several partially protected PNA-monomers or derivatives thereof using three different procedures. Methods for hydrolysis are shown to be dependent on the nature of the isocyano component required for Ugi 4CC. Several novel monomers suitable for oligomer synthesis are prepared demonstrating the high versatility of the reaction sequence. 相似文献

A critical step of neuronal terminal differentiation is the permanent withdrawal from the cell cycle that requires the silencing of genes that drive mitosis. Here, we describe that the alpha isoform of the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) protein family exerts such silencing on several E2F-targeted genes. Among the different isoforms, HP1alpha levels progressively increase throughout differentiation and take over HP1gamma binding on E2F sites in mature neurons. When overexpressed, only HP1alpha is able to ensure a timed repression of E2F genes. Specific inhibition of HP1alpha expression drives neuronal progenitors either towards death or cell cycle progression, yet preventing the expression of the neuronal marker microtubule-associated protein 2. Furthermore, we provide evidence that this mechanism occurs in cerebellar granule neurons in vivo, during the postnatal development of the cerebellum. Finally, our results suggest that E2F-targeted genes are packaged into higher-order chromatin structures in mature neurons relative to neuroblasts, likely reflecting a transition from a 'repressed' versus 'silenced' status of these genes. Together, these data present new epigenetic regulations orchestrated by HP1 isoforms, critical for permanent cell cycle exit during neuronal differentiation. 相似文献

Background
Whether inhaled corticosteroids suppress airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains controversial. We sought to determine the effects of inhaled corticosteroids on sputum indices of inflammation in stable COPD.Methods
We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Databases for randomized, controlled clinical trials that used induced sputum to evaluate the effect of inhaled corticosteroids in stable COPD. For each chosen study, we calculated the mean differences in the concentrations of sputum cells before and after treatment in both intervention and control groups. These values were then converted into standardized mean differences to accommodate the differences in patient selection, clinical treatment, and biochemical procedures that were employed across original studies. If significant heterogeneity was present (p < 0.10), then a random effects model was used to pool the original data. In the absence of significant heterogeneity, a fixed effects model was used.Results
We identified six original studies that met the inclusion criteria (N = 162 participants). In studies with higher cumulative dose (≥ 60 mg) or longer duration of therapy (≥ 6 weeks), inhaled corticosteroids were uniformly effective in reducing the total cell, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts. In contrast, studies with lower cumulative dose (< 60 mg) or shorter duration of therapy (< 6 weeks) did not demonstrate a favorable effect of inhaled corticosteroids on these sputum indices.Conclusions
Our study suggests that prolonged therapy with inhaled corticosteroids is effective in reducing airway inflammation in stable COPD. 相似文献7.
Absence of the RGS9.Gbeta5 GTPase-activating complex in photoreceptors of the R9AP knockout mouse 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Timely termination of the light response in retinal photoreceptors requires rapid inactivation of the G protein transducin. This is achieved through the stimulation of transducin GTPase activity by the complex of the ninth member of the regulator of G protein signaling protein family (RGS9) with type 5 G protein beta subunit (Gbeta5). RGS9.Gbeta5 is anchored to photoreceptor disc membranes by the transmembrane protein, R9AP. In this study, we analyzed visual signaling in the rods of R9AP knockout mice. We found that light responses from R9AP knockout rods were very slow to recover and were indistinguishable from those of RGS9 or Gbeta5 knockout rods. This effect was a consequence of the complete absence of any detectable RGS9 from the retinas of R9AP knockout mice. On the other hand, the level of RGS9 mRNA was not affected by the knockout. These data indicate that in photoreceptors R9AP determines the stability of the RGS9.Gbeta5 complex, and therefore all three proteins, RGS9, Gbeta5 , and R9AP, are obligate members of the regulatory complex that speeds the rate at which transducin hydrolyzes GTP. 相似文献

Macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF) is an emerging condition, characterized by specific muscle lesions assessing long-term persistence of aluminum hydroxide within macrophages at the site of previous immunization. Affected patients mainly complain of arthromyalgias, chronic fatigue, and cognitive difficulties. We designed a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests to prospectively delineate MMF-associated cognitive dysfunction (MACD). Compared to control patients with arthritis and chronic pain, MMF patients had pronounced and specific cognitive impairment. MACD mainly affected (i) both visual and verbal memory; (ii) executive functions, including attention, working memory, and planning; and (iii) left ear extinction at dichotic listening test. Cognitive deficits did not correlate with pain, fatigue, depression, or disease duration. Pathophysiological mechanisms underlying MACD remain to be determined. In conclusion, long-term persistence of vaccine-derived aluminum hydroxide within the body assessed by MMF is associated with cognitive dysfunction, not solely due to chronic pain, fatigue and depression. 相似文献

Significance of nucleotide sequence alignments: a method for random sequence permutation that preserves dinucleotide and codon usage 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The similarity of two nucleotide sequences is often expressed in terms of
evolutionary distance, a measure of the amount of change needed to
transform one sequence into the other. Given two sequences with a small
distance between them, can their similarity be explained by their base
composition alone? The nucleotide order of these sequences contributes to
their similarity if the distance is much smaller than their average
permutation distance, which is obtained by calculating the distances for
many random permutations of these sequences. To determine whether their
similarity can be explained by their dinucleotide and codon usage, random
sequences must be chosen from the set of permuted sequences that preserve
dinucleotide and codon usage. The problem of choosing random dinucleotide
and codon-preserving permutations can be expressed in the language of graph
theory as the problem of generating random Eulerian walks on a directed
multigraph. An efficient algorithm for generating such walks is described.
This algorithm can be used to choose random sequence permutations that
preserve (1) dinucleotide usage, (2) dinucleotide and trinucleotide usage,
or (3) dinucleotide and codon usage. For example, the similarity of two
60-nucleotide DNA segments from the human beta-1 interferon gene
(nucleotides 196-255 and 499-558) is not just the result of their nonrandom
dinucleotide and codon usage.
