Abstract A screening procedure for highly thermostable yeast superoxide dismutase was developed. Growth yields at various temperatures were estimated for ten mesophilic and thermotolerant strains, belonging to the genera Saccharomyces, Kluyveromyces and Pichia . Higher yields at 45°C were obtained for K. lactis 90-3 and 90-4. A correlation between the ability to grow at higher temperature and the thermostability of the superoxide dismutase enzyme synthesized was observed. A comparison of the operational stability of the superoxide dismutase of all tested strains suggests that the enzyme of K. lactis strains was more thermostable than that of the other tested microorganisms. 相似文献

Background
The ciliary body is the circumferential muscular tissue located just behind the iris in the anterior chamber of the eye. It plays a pivotal role in the production of aqueous humor, maintenance of the lens zonules and accommodation by changing the shape of the crystalline lens. The ciliary body is the major target of drugs against glaucoma as its inhibition leads to a drop in intraocular pressure. A molecular study of the ciliary body could provide a better understanding about the pathophysiological processes that occur in glaucoma. Thus far, no large-scale proteomic investigation has been reported for the human ciliary body.Results
In this study, we have carried out an in-depth LC-MS/MS-based proteomic analysis of normal human ciliary body and have identified 2,815 proteins. We identified a number of proteins that were previously not described in the ciliary body including importin 5 (IPO5), atlastin-2 (ATL2), B-cell receptor associated protein 29 (BCAP29), basigin (BSG), calpain-1 (CAPN1), copine 6 (CPNE6), fibulin 1 (FBLN1) and galectin 1 (LGALS1). We compared the plasma proteome with the ciliary body proteome and found that the large majority of proteins in the ciliary body were also detectable in the plasma while 896 proteins were unique to the ciliary body. We also classified proteins using pathway enrichment analysis and found most of proteins associated with ubiquitin pathway, EIF2 signaling, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.Conclusions
More than 95% of the identified proteins have not been previously described in the ciliary body proteome. This is the largest catalogue of proteins reported thus far in the ciliary body that should provide new insights into our understanding of the factors involved in maintaining the secretion of aqueous humor. The identification of these proteins will aid in understanding various eye diseases of the anterior segment such as glaucoma and presbyopia. 相似文献4.

Hansenula polymorpha CBS 4732 was studied during cultivation on methanol and different glucose concentrations. Activities of Cu/Zn and Mn superoxide dismutase, catalase and methanol oxidase were investigated. During cultivation on methanol, increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and an induced methanol oxidase were achieved. Transfer of a methanol grown culture to medium with a high glucose concentration caused growth inhibition, low consumption of carbon, nitrogen and phosphate substrates, methanol oxidase inactivation as well as decrease of catalase activity (21.8 +/- 0.61 deltaE240 x min(-1) x mg protein(-1)). At the same time, a high value for superoxide dismutase enzyme was found (42.9 +/- 0.98 U x mg protein(-1), 25% of which was represented by Mn superoxide dismutase and 75% - by the Cu/Zn type). During derepression methanol oxidase was negligible (0.005 +/- 0.0001 U x mg protein(-1)), catalase tended to be the same as in the repressed culture, while superoxide dismutase activity increased considerably (63.67 +/- 1.72 U x mg protein(-1), 69% belonging to the Cu/Zn containing enzyme). Apparently, the cycle of growth inhibition and reactivation of Hansenula polymorpha CBS 4732 cells is strongly connected with the activity of the enzyme superoxide dismutase. 相似文献

Background
Loss-of-function mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) have been linked to familial Parkinson??s disease, but the underlying pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. We previously reported that loss of PINK1 impairs mitochondrial respiratory activity in mouse brains.Results
In this study, we investigate how loss of PINK1 impairs mitochondrial respiration using cultured primary fibroblasts and neurons. We found that intact mitochondria in PINK1?/? cells recapitulate the respiratory defect in isolated mitochondria from PINK1?/? mouse brains, suggesting that these PINK1?/? cells are a valid experimental system to study the underlying mechanisms. Enzymatic activities of the electron transport system complexes are normal in PINK1?/? cells, but mitochondrial transmembrane potential is reduced. Interestingly, the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is increased in PINK1?/? cells, and this genotypic difference between PINK1?/? and control cells is eliminated by agonists or inhibitors of the mPTP. Furthermore, inhibition of mPTP opening rescues the defects in transmembrane potential and respiration in PINK1?/? cells. Consistent with our earlier findings in mouse brains, mitochondrial morphology is similar between PINK1?/? and wild-type cells, indicating that the observed mitochondrial functional defects are not due to morphological changes. Following FCCP treatment, calcium increases in the cytosol are higher in PINK1?/? compared to wild-type cells, suggesting that intra-mitochondrial calcium concentration is higher in the absence of PINK1.Conclusions
Our findings show that loss of PINK1 causes selective increases in mPTP opening and mitochondrial calcium, and that the excessive mPTP opening may underlie the mitochondrial functional defects observed in PINK1?/? cells. 相似文献7.

UV-B induced stress responses in three rice cultivars 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
UV-B responses of three rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars (Sasanishiki, Norin 1 and Surjamkhi) with different photolyase activity were investigated. Carbon dioxide assimilation
data support that Sasanishiki was less sensitive to UV-B than Norin 1 and Surjamkhi. UV-B radiation sharply decreased the
content of Rubisco protein in Surjamkhi and has no effect in Sasanishiki. The photochemical activities of photosystem (PS)
1 and PS 2 was slightly affected by UV-B treatment. The content of H2O2 and the activities of antioxidant enzymes, catalase (CAT), peroxides (POX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were enhanced after
UV-B treatment. The activities of CAT and POX isoenzymes in Sasanishiki were more enhanced by UV-B radiation than those in
Norin 1 and Surjamkhi. 相似文献

The invasive freshwater snail Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822) was first reported in South Africa in 1999 and it has become widespread across the country, with some evidence to suggest that it reduces benthic macroinvertebrate biodiversity. The current study aimed to identify the primary abiotic drivers behind abundance patterns of T. granifera, by comparing the current abundance of the snail in three different regions, and at three depths, of the highly modified Nseleni River in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Tarebia granifera was well established throughout the Nseleni River system, with an overall preference for shallow waters and seasonal temporal patterns of abundance. Although it is uncertain what the ecological impacts of the snail in this system are, its high abundances suggest that it should be controlled where possible and prevented from invading other systems in the region. 相似文献
