A procedure is reported that allows the purification and amino terminal sequencing of pig brain choline acetyltransferase. The enzyme (present in extremely low amounts in this tissue) is eluted together with its antibody from an affinity column by a mild pH shift and the resulting enzyme-antibody complex separated by gel electrophoresis. The band corresponding to the enzyme is electroeluted from the gel using volatile solutions allowing the direct determination of the amino acid composition and partial sequence. The first 11 residues are: Pro-Ile-Leu-Glu-Lys-Thr-Pro-Pro-Lys-Met-Ala. 相似文献

On day 12 of pregnancy Wistar rats were each given a single ip injection of 5, 8, 16, 25, or 50 mg/kg 6-mercaptopurine. The embryos were removed 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 24, 48, or 72 h after injection or on day 20 and studied by light and electron microscopy. After 25 or 50 mg/kg all embryos showed no mineralization in the lower extremities. By electron microscopy condensation, shrinking, and fragmentation of cells in the limb bud blastema could be seen after 5 h. The fragments were phagocytosed and broken down by neighboring cells or remained in the extracellular space. After 25 or 50 mg/kg the damage was so extensive that the number of undamaged cells and of cells transforming into phagocytes was not sufficient to remove the debris or to compensate for the defect by mitotic activity. Epithelial cells, nerves, and blood vessels, show no morphological signs of damage. The "critical period" was the time cartilage just starts developing, i.e., when the blastema begins to differentiate. 相似文献

In this study we show that the diadinoxanthin cycle in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is stimulated by mild UV-B radiation. High steady state concentrations of diatoxanthin established during a period of strong actinic illumination with white light (300 mol photons m-2 s-1 PAR) are further increased if weak UV-B (3 mol photons m-2 s-1) is additionally applied. Short term increases in the diatoxanthin concentration caused by UV-B strongly correlate with a stoichiometric decrease in diadinoxanthin. The UV-B dependent increase in diatoxanthin is correlated with a concommitant enhancement of non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence and a decrease in the quantum efficiency of oxygen evolution. This indicates that UV-B induced diatoxanthin functions in thermal energy dissipation. Possible scenarios for a stimulation of the diadinoxanthin cycle by UV-B are discussed. 相似文献

Interacting proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae are evolutionarily conserved and their likelihood of having an ortholog in other ascomycota species correlates with the number of interaction partners. Moreover, interacting proteins show a clear preference to be conserved as a pair, indicating that nature maintains selection pressure on the interaction links between proteins. The conservation of interacting protein pairs between different organisms does not exhibit any bias with respect to protein functional roles. 相似文献

We describe the introduction of the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris as eukaryotic hosts for the routine production of recombinant proteins for a structural genomics initiative. We have previously shown that human cDNAs can be efficiently expressed in both hosts using high throughput procedures. Expression clones derived from these screening procedures were grown in bioreactors and the over-expressed human proteins were purified, resulting in obtaining significant amounts suitable for structural analysis. We have also developed and optimized protocols enabling a high throughput, low cost fermentation and purification strategy for recombinant proteins for both S. cerevisiae and P. pastoris on a scale of 5 to 10 mg. Both batch and fed batch fermentation methods were applied to S. cerevisiae. The fed batch fermentations yielded a higher biomass production in all the strains as well as a higher productivity for some of the proteins. We carried out only fed batch fermentations on P. pastoris strains. Biomass was produced by cultivation on glycerol, followed by feeding methanol as carbon source to induce protein expression. The recombinant proteins were expressed as fusion proteins that include a N-terminal His-tag and a C-terminal Strep-tag. They were then purified by a two-step chromatographic procedure using metal-affinity chromatography and StrepTactin-affinity chromatography. This was followed by gel filtration for further purification and for buffer exchange. This three-step purification procedure is necessary to obtain highly purified proteins from yeast. The purified proteins have successfully been subjected to crystallization and biophysical analysis. 相似文献

SUMMARY: The Helmholtz Network for Bioinformatics (HNB) is a joint venture of eleven German bioinformatics research groups that offers convenient access to numerous bioinformatics resources through a single web portal. The 'Guided Solution Finder' which is available through the HNB portal helps users to locate the appropriate resources to answer their queries by employing a detailed, tree-like questionnaire. Furthermore, automated complex tool cascades ('tasks'), involving resources located on different servers, have been implemented, allowing users to perform comprehensive data analyses without the requirement of further manual intervention for data transfer and re-formatting. Currently, automated cascades for the analysis of regulatory DNA segments as well as for the prediction of protein functional properties are provided. AVAILABILITY: The HNB portal is available at http://www.hnbioinfo.de 相似文献

The German Neurospora Genome Project has assembled sequences from ordered cosmid and BAC clones of linkage groups II and V of the genome of Neurospora crassa in 13 and 12 contigs, respectively. Including additional sequences located on other linkage groups a total of 12 Mb were subjected to a manual gene extraction and annotation process. The genome comprises a small number of repetitive elements, a low degree of segmental duplications and very few paralogous genes. The analysis of the 3218 identified open reading frames provides a first overview of the protein equipment of a filamentous fungus. Significantly, N.crassa possesses a large variety of metabolic enzymes including a substantial number of enzymes involved in the degradation of complex substrates as well as secondary metabolism. While several of these enzymes are specific for filamentous fungi many are shared exclusively with prokaryotes. 相似文献

Functional modules by relating protein interaction networks and gene expression 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8 下载免费PDF全文
Genes and proteins are organized on the basis of their particular mutual relations or according to their interactions in cellular and genetic networks. These include metabolic or signaling pathways and protein interaction, regulatory or co-expression networks. Integrating the information from the different types of networks may lead to the notion of a functional network and functional modules. To find these modules, we propose a new technique which is based on collective, multi-body correlations in a genetic network. We calculated the correlation strength of a group of genes (e.g. in the co-expression network) which were identified as members of a module in a different network (e.g. in the protein interaction network) and estimated the probability that this correlation strength was found by chance. Groups of genes with a significant correlation strength in different networks have a high probability that they perform the same function. Here, we propose evaluating the multi-body correlations by applying the superparamagnetic approach. We compare our method to the presently applied mean Pearson correlations and show that our method is more sensitive in revealing functional relationships. 相似文献

A treatment of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum with high light (HL) in the visible range led to the conversion of diadinoxanthin (Dd) to diatoxanthin (Dt). In a following treatment with HL plus supplementary ultraviolet (UV)-B, the Dt was rapidly epoxidized to Dd. Photosynthesis of the cells was inhibited under HL + UV-B. This is accounted for by direct damage by UV-B and damage because of the UV-B-induced reversal of the Dd cycle and the associated loss of photoprotection. The reversal of the Dd cycle by UV-B was faster in the presence of dithiothreitol, an inhibitor of the Dd de-epoxidase. Our results imply that the reversal of the Dd cycle by HL + UV-B was caused by an increase in the rate of gross Dt epoxidation, whereas the de-epoxidation of Dd was unaffected by UV-B. This is further supported by our finding that the in vitro de-epoxidation activity and the affinity toward the cosubstrate ascorbic acid of the Dd de-epoxidase were both unaffected by UV-B pretreatment of intact cells. We provide evidence that Dt epoxidation is normally down-regulated by a high pH gradient under HL. It is proposed that supplementary UV-B affected the pH gradient across the thylakoid membrane, which disrupted the down-regulation of Dt epoxidation and led to the observed increase in the rate of Dt epoxidation. 相似文献
