Summary The component areas of chick blastula show differential expression of heat shock genes. The area opaca (ao), marginal zone (mz) and central area (ca) components of the epiblast display distinct quantitative and minor qualitative differences in the heat-induced and heat-repressible proteins, but are clearly different from the primary hypoblast (endoderm) in their expression of a given stress protein (hsp) as a response to heat shock. The major proteins synthesized in the component areas of epiblast in response to heat shock include hsp 18, 24, 70 and 89 Kd. Two-dimensional electrophoresis shows that each of these proteins consists of multiple charged species. The hypoblast expresses only hsp 70 Kd at non-significant levels and shows marked inhibition in the level of synthesis of heat-shock-repressible proteins. Heat shock during the blastula stage results in an increase in the size of the blastoderm and disrupts normal embryonic development. The heat shock genes provide an important molecular marker, which attests to regional specification in the chick blastula. 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

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.

Many structural, signaling, and adhesion molecules contain tandemly
repeated amino acid motifs. The alpha-actinin/spectrin/dystrophin
superfamily of F-actin-crosslinking proteins contains an array of triple
alpha-helical motifs (spectrin repeats). We present here the complete
sequence of the novel beta-spectrin isoform beta(Heavy)- spectrin (beta H).
The sequence of beta H supports the origin of alpha- and beta-spectrins
from a common ancestor, and we present a novel model for the origin of the
spectrins from a homodimeric actin-crosslinking precursor. The pattern of
similarity between the spectrin repeat units indicates that they have
evolved by a series of nested, nonuniform duplications. Furthermore, the
spectrins and dystrophins clearly have common ancestry, yet the repeat unit
is of a different length in each family. Together, these observations
suggest a dynamic period of increase in repeat number accompanied by
homogenization within each array by concerted evolution. However, today,
there is greater similarity of homologous repeats between species than
there is across repeats within species, suggesting that concerted evolution
ceased some time before the arthropod/vertebrate split. We propose a
two-phase model for the evolution of the spectrin repeat arrays in which an
initial phase of concerted evolution is subsequently retarded as each new
protein becomes constrained to a specific length and the repeats diverge at
the DNA level. This evolutionary model has general applicability to the
origins of the many other proteins that have tandemly repeated motifs.

Variable expression of SV40 large T antigen in CV1 cell clones 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Using immunofluorescence and immunoadsorption, CV1 cell clones MA2, V4, USA3, TR7 and P3 infected with SV40 were found to express variably SV40 large T antigen. The monoclonal antibody used was Pab 419. The results indicate that P3 cells express T antigen to a considerable level as early as 10 h post-infection, while that of TR7 and USA3 cells is minute as judged from their positive nuclei. MA2 and V4 cells did not show any positive nuclei over this period of infection. At 20 h post-infection MA2, V4 and USA3 cells developed a considerable amount of fluorescence in their nuclei while TR7 and P3 cells produced high values. By immunoadsorption of cell extracts for the same periods of infection, similar results were obtained on the electrophoretograms. We also relate these findings with those from induction of heatshock proteins by SV40 infection. 相似文献

Inhibition of DNA replication by aphidicolin in the chick morula interferes with its progression to a normal blastula and prevents induction of the first morphogenetic cell movements of primitive streak formation. Embryos in aphidicolin synthesize some polypeptides typical of blastula but do not display all the characteristic features of morula to blastula transition. Inhibition of DNA replication interferes with the sequential synthesis of maternally coded polypeptides and with the activation of the embryonic genome in the chick embryo. 相似文献

Imidacloprid and metalaxyl are two pesticides that are widely used in agriculture, either separately, or in combination. These agents were studied for their possible genotoxic effects with respect to the following cytogenetic end-points: (1) in vitro micronucleus (MN) formation and sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in human lymphocytes and (2) in vivo micronucleus induction in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) of the rat bone-marrow. The results of the MN analysis indicate that MN frequencies after treatment with both pesticides, separately or as a mixture, do not significantly differ from those in the controls except after treatment with metalaxyl alone at 50 μg/ml (p < 0.05). The results of the SCE analysis show that SCE frequencies after treatment with imidacloprid do not differ significantly from those in the controls. A statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) in SCE frequency resulted from treatments with metalaxyl at 5, 10 and 100 μg/ml and with the combination of imidacloprid and metalaxyl at 100 and 200 μg/ml. Finally, the in vivo micronucleus assay with rat bone-marrow polychromatic erythrocytes showed a statistically significant effect upon separate treatments with imidacloprid and metalaxyl at doses of 300 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) (p < 0.01) or upon combined treatment with 200 mg/Kg b.w. (p < 0.001) and 400 mg/kg b.w. (p < 0.05). 相似文献
