Concanavalin A (Con A) was immobilized via metal interactions on macroporous, microparticulate silica support having covalently bound iminodiacetic acid functions (IDA-silica) chelated with Cu(II) at the surface. The amount of copper and of Con A in the column could readily be controlled by the conditions used for chelating the metal by IDA-silica and for immobilization of the lectin. The retention behavior of columns packed with the stationary phase did not change under a wide range of elution conditions, indicating no loss of immobilized lectin. However, the Con A proper could readily be removed from the column at pH 3.0 or together with Cu(II) by perfusion with EDTA at neutral pH. Columns containing Con A immobilized by this technique exhibited dual retention behavior for proteins, glycoproteins, and carbohydrates according to the pertinent glycan-lectin or protein-metal interactions. The glycoproteins, peroxidase and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, were retained by the Con A moiety and eluted with eluents containing competing sugars, whereas the proteins, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-chymotrypsinogen A, and ribonuclease A and B were retained by the chelated copper and were eluted and separated with eluents containing sodium chloride or borate. Binding constants of glycosides on the immobilized Con A were evaluated chromatographically and found to be one-third to two-thirds those reported in the literature on the basis of experiments in free solution. 相似文献

The most troublesome problem encountered during the sterile filtration of protein solutions is membrane fouling. This article presents our study on sterile filtration of a model protein, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that 0.22-mum membranes, when used to filter the mannitol-formulated protein solution under a 0.35-bar transmembrane pressure, were plugged to a great extent. When zinc ions were added to induce aggregates, the fouling tendency of rhGH solutions increased with increasing amount and size of the aggregates, indicating that the aggregates present before filtration might be responsible for membrane fouling. However, repeated filtration of the same solution using a fresh filter each time cannot reduce membrane fouling, and all filtrates contain the same trace amount of hGH particulates as the prefiltered solution. Particulate size was determined to be between 0.03 and 0.15 mum by dynamic light scattering. Also, in view of the fact that protein formulations significantly affected the tendency of fouling with the same preexisting aggregates, it is likely that fouling was more attributed to the aggregation taking place in the filter pores during filtration (secondary aggregation) than to the aggregates present before filtration. Adding a surfactant to or increasing the pH of the protein solution improves the filtration, whereas increasing ionic strength slows down the filtration. This result suggests that the balance of the protein's interaction and electrostatic repulsion plays an important role in the protein's fouling tendency. Many factors might change the microenvironment in the pores and disturb this balance. Those considerations and the aggregation tendency of rhGH in the filter pores will be discussed in detail separately. (c) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

p62 is a highly tyrosyl phosphorylated protein that was first identified in immunoprecipitates of the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) of p21ras from cells transformed by oncogenic nonreceptor tyrosine kinases or stimulated through tyrosine kinase receptors (C. Ellis, M. Moran, F. McCormick, and T. Pawson, Nature 343:377-381, 1991). In this article we describe a highly related 62-kDa protein that becomes tyrosyl phosphorylated and associated with phospholipase C gamma (PLC gamma) in C3H10T1/2 cells stimulated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) or transformed by v-src. GAP-associated and PLC gamma-associated p62 comigrated in one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and exhibited nearly identical phosphotryptic peptide patterns. That the association of p62 with PLC gamma was direct and not mediated through binding of GAP-p62 to PLC gamma or to the EGF receptor (and coprecipitation of the receptor with PLC gamma) was demonstrated by (i) the inability to detect GAP in PLC gamma immunocomplexes or PLC gamma in GAP immunocomplexes, (ii) the association of p62 with PLC gamma in v-src-transformed cells in the absence of EGF stimulation, and (iii) in vitro solution binding and direct blotting of p62 with a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of PLC gamma. Unlike GAP, whose N-terminal SH2 mediates the interaction between GAP and p62, PLC gamma was found to require both its N- and C-terminal SH2 regions for p62 binding. These studies demonstrate that a protein identical to or highly related to GAP-associated p62 binds PLC gamma and suggest a means by which "cross-talk" between PLC gamma- and GAP-mediated signalling may occur. 相似文献

Material flux rates in an intertidal mussel bed were measured synchronously over two tidal cycles in June 1989 with Benthic
Ecosystem Tunnels and a double lane flume. The tunnels enclosed the near bottom water, whereas the flume canalized the total
water column. One tunnel was set up in a mussel bed and another one in an adjacent sand bottom as a control. The flume enclosed
a mussel lane and a sand lane. In the tunnel and in the flume the mussel bed revealed ammonium and phosphate discharge. At
the same time, phytoplankton, dominated byPhyaeocystis globosa, was taken up intensively. These flux rates showed the same tendency but they were higher in the flume than in the tunnel.
Different tendencies and flux rates for oxygen and particulate organic matter (POC, PN) were found in flume and tunnel. These
differences demonstrate the importance of water column processes regarding the material exchange of a mussel bed. Tunnels
enclose smaller bodies of water and are therefore expected to detect even small effects of the benthos on the passing water.
In flumes, benthic influence may be diluted over the entire water column but conditions are more natural. The use of flumes
is restricted to shallow waters while tunnels have the potential to be used at any depth. 相似文献

Roots of intact bean plants were supplied with [14C]adenine by pulse-chase experiments. The rate of incorporation of radioactivity into tRNA and oligonucleotides of roots as well as the content of radioactive labeled cytokinin nucleotides in these RNA fractions were determined. On the average, 1/70 of the radioactivity incorporated into tRNA was localized in N6(2isopentenyl)adenosine. The half life of tRNA was estimated to be 65–70 h. Shortly after the pulse period, oligonucleotides contained zeatin riboside at a ratio of 1:800, on the basis of radioactivity. The half life of these oligonucleotides was determined to be about 8 h. The main free radioactive cytokinin of roots and leaves was zeatin. Comparing the rate of degradation of 14C-labeled tRNA and the oligonucleotides of roots and the rate of appearance of radioactive cytokinins in roots and leaves, we found strong indications for their dependency. The results contradict the hypothesis of de novo synthesis of cytokinins in roots of intact bean plants.Abbreviations AMP

Uptake of modified lipoproteins by macrophages causes foam cell formation and promotes atherosclerosis. Atherogenic lipoproteins are cytotoxic and induce cell death under certain conditions but may also enhance macrophage survival. Macrophages treated with enzymatically modified LDL (E-LDL) were subjected to GeneChip analysis and the antiapoptotic gene TOSO was found induced. TOSO mRNA is upregulated and apoptosis is reduced in E-LDL but not in oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) loaded macrophages. FLIP(L) abundance was suggested to mediate the antiapoptotic properties of TOSO; however, FLIP(L) was not changed. Ox-LDL is internalized predominantly by scavenger receptors such as CD36 while E-LDL particles are preferentially internalized by Fc- and complement-receptor dependent phagocytosis and internalization of phagobeads by macrophages upregulates TOSO. In COS-7 cells however, phagocytotic activity was not affected by TOSO. These data indicate that E-LDL-generated foam cells are protected from cell death most likely through the expression of TOSO by a FLIP(L) independent mechanism. 相似文献

Identification and characterization of vaccinia virus genes encoding proteins that are highly antigenic in animals and are immunodominant in vaccinated humans. 下载免费PDF全文
Vaccinia virus (VV) is a potent immunogen, but the nature of VV proteins involved in the activation of the immune response of the host is not yet known. By screening a lambda gt11 expression library of rabbitpox virus DNA with serum from humans vaccinated against smallpox or with serum from VV-immunized animals, we identified several VV genes that encode highly antigenic viral proteins with molecular masses of 62, 39, 32, 25, 21, and 14 kDa. It was found that VV proteins of 62, 39, 25, and 21 kDa are part of the virus core, while proteins of 32 and 14 kDa are part of the virus envelope. All of these proteins were synthesized at late times postinfection. Proteins of 62 and 25 kDa were produced by cleavage of larger precursors of 95 kDa (p4a) and 28 kDa, respectively. The 21-kDa protein was the result of a cleavage of p4a, presumably at amino acid Gly-697. DNA sequence analysis, in comparison with the known nucleotide sequence of VV, provided identification of the corresponding open reading frames. Expression of the viral genes in Escherichia coli was used to monitor which of the viral antigens elicit immunodominant responses and the location of antigenic domains. Three viral antigens of 62, 39, and 32 kDa exhibited immunodominant characteristics. The most antigenic sites of 62 and 39 kDa were identified at the N terminus (amino acids 132 to 295) and C terminus (last 103 amino acids), respectively. Immunization of mice with the 62-, 39-, or 14-kDa antigenic proteins conferred different degrees of protection from VV challenge. Proteins of 32 and 14 kDa induced cellular proliferative responses in VV-infected mice. Our findings demonstrate the nature of VV proteins involved in the activation of host immune responses after vaccination, provide identification of the viral gene locus, and define structural and immunological properties of these antigenic VV proteins. 相似文献

Abstract Rheocricotopus (Psilocricotopus) taiwanensis sp. n. from Taiwan, China, is described as male imagines. The species is allied to R. (P.) chalybeatus (Edwards) but it is easily separated from the latter in lacking setae in all reins, much lower AR and more pronounced crista dorsalis in gonostylus. The genus is new to Taiwan Province, China. The specimen is deposited at the Department of Biology, Nankai University, Tianjin. 相似文献

The treatment of L929 fibrosarcoma cells with zVAD has been shown to induce necroptosis. However, whether autophagy is involved or not in this event remains controversial. In this study, we re-examined the role of autophagy in zVAD-induced cell death in L929 cells and further elucidated the signaling pathways triggered by caspase inhibition and contributing to autophagic death. First, we found that zVAD can stimulate LC3-II formation, autophagosome and autolysosome formation, and ROS accumulation. Antioxidants, beclin 1 or Atg5 silencing, and class III PtdIns3K inhibitors all effectively blocked ROS production and cell death, suggesting ROS accumulation downstream of autophagy contributes to cell necrosis. zVAD also stimulated PARP activation, and the PARP inhibitor DPQ can reduce zVAD-induced cell death, but did not affect ROS production, suggesting the increased ROS leads to PARP activation and cell death. Notably, our data also indicated the involvement of Src-dependent JNK and ERK in zVAD-induced ROS production and autophagic death. We found caspase 8 is associated with c-Src at the resting state, and upon zVAD treatment this association was decreased and accompanied by c-Src activation. In conclusion, we confirm the autophagic death in zVAD-treated L929 cells, and define a new molecular pathway in which Src-dependent ERK and JNK activation can link a signal from caspase inhibition to autophagy, which in turn induce ROS production and PARP activation, eventually leading to necroptosis. Thus, in addition to initiating proteolytic activity for cell apoptosis, inactivated caspase 8 also functions as a signaling molecule for autophagic death. 相似文献
