The objective of this study was to determine whether cells in G(0) phase are functionally distinct from those in G(1) with regard to their ability to respond to the inducers of DNA synthesis and to retard the cell cycle traverse of the G(2) component after fusion. Synchronized populations of HeLa cells in G(1) and human diploid fibroblasts in G(1) and G(0) phases were separately fused using UV-inactivated Sendai virus with HeLa cells prelabeled with [(3)H]ThdR and synchronized in S or G(2) phases. The kinetics of initiation of DNA synthesis in the nuclei of G(0) and G(1) cells residing in G(0)/S and G(1)/S dikaryons, respectively, were studied as a function of time after fusion. In the G(0)/G(2) and G(1)/G(2) fusions, the rate of entry into mitosis of the heterophasic binucleate cells was monitored in the presence of Colcemid. The effects of protein synthesis inhibition in the G(1) cells, and the UV irradiation of G(0) cells before fusion, on the rate of entry of the G(2) component into mitosis were also studied. The results of this study indicate that DNA synthesis can be induced in G(0)nuclei after fusion between G(0)- and S-phase cells, but G(0) nuclei are much slower than G(1) nuclei in responding to the inducers of DNA synthesis because the chromatin of G(0) cells is more condensed than it is in G(1) cells. A more interesting observation resulting from this study is that G(0) cells is more condensed than it is in G(1) cells. A more interesting observation resulting from this study is that G(0) cells differ from G(1) cells with regard to their effects on the cell cycle progression of the G(2) nucleus into mitosis. This difference between G(0) and G(1) cells appears to depend on certain factors, probably nonhistone proteins, present in G(1) cells but absent in G(0) cells. These factors can be induced in G(0) cells by UV irradiation and inhibited in G(1) cells by cycloheximide treatment. 相似文献

Different nitro azole isomers based on five membered heterocyclics were designed and investigated using computational techniques
in order to find out the comprehensive relationships between structure and performances of these high nitrogen compounds.
Electronic structure of the molecules have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and the heat of formation
has been calculated using the isodesmic reaction approach at B3LYP/6-31G* level. All designed compounds show high positive
heat of formation due to the high nitrogen content and energetic nitro groups. The crystal densities of these energetic azoles
have been predicted with different force fields. All the energetic azoles show densities higher than 1.87 g/cm3. Detonation properties of energetic azoles are evaluated by using Kamlet-Jacobs equation based on the calculated densities
and heat of formations. It is found that energetic azoles show detonation velocity about 9.0 km/s, and detonation pressure
of 40GPa. Stability of the designed compounds has been predicted by evaluating the bond dissociation energy of the weakest
C-NO2 bond. The aromaticity using nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) is also explored to predict the stability via delocalization
of the π-electrons. Charge on the nitro group is used to assess the impact sensitivity in the present study. Overall, the
study implies that all energetic azoles are found to be stable and expected to be the novel candidates of high energy density
materials (HEDMs). 相似文献

This study aimed to design novel nitrogen-rich heptazine derivatives as high energy density materials (HEDM) by exploiting
systematic structure–property relationships. Molecular structures with diverse energetic substituents at varying positions
in the basic heptazine ring were designed. Density functional techniques were used for prediction of gas phase heat of formation
by employing an isodesmic approach, while crystal density was assessed by packing calculations. The results reveal that nitro
derivatives of heptazine possess a high heat of formation and further enhancement was achieved by the substitution of nitro
heterocycles. The crystal packing density of the designed compounds varied from 1.8 to 2 g cm−3, and hence, of all the designed molecules, nitro derivatives of heptazine exhibit better energetic performance characteristics
in terms of detonation velocity and pressure. The calculated band gap of the designed molecules was analyzed to establish
sensitivity correlations, and the results reveal that, in general, amino derivatives possess better insensitivity characteristics.
The overall performance of the designed compounds was moderate, and such compounds may find potential applications in gas
generators and smoke-free pyrotechnic fuels as they are rich in nitrogen content. 相似文献

Bottle gourd [(Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Stand.] fruit is ascribed with many therapeutic effects. The present study was undertaken to explore the antihyperlipidemic effect of four different extracts viz. petroleum ether, chloroform, alcoholic and aqueous extracts from bottle gourd in Triton-induced hyperlipidemic rats and their hypolipidemic effects in normocholesteremic rats. The study is comprised preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts. Oral administration of the extracts, at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight in rats, dose-dependently inhibited the total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins level, and significantly increased the high density lipoproteins level. However, petroleum ether extract did not show the significant effects. Both the chloroform and alcoholic extract exhibited more significant effects in lowering total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins along with increase in HDL as compared to the others. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, sterols, cucurbitacin saponins, polyphenolics, proteins, and carbohydrates. The results obtained suggest marked antihyperlipidemic and hypolipidemic activity of the extracts. 相似文献

Protein function prediction is very important in establishing the roles of various proteins in bacteria; however, some proteins in the E. coli genome have their function assigned based on low percent sequence homology that does not provide reliable assignments. We have made an attempt to verify the prediction that E. coli genes ygiC and yjfC encode proteins with the same function as glutathionylspermidine synthetase/amidase (GspSA). GspSA is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent formation and hydrolysis of glutathionylspermidine (G-Sp), a conjugate of glutathione (GSH) and spermidine. YgiC and YjfC proteins show 51% identity between themselves and 28% identity to the synthetase domain of the GspSA enzyme. YgiC and YjfC proteins were expressed and purified, and the properties of GspSA, YgiC, and YjfC were compared. In contrast to GspSA, proteins YgiC and YjfC did not bind to G-Sp immobilized on the affinity matrix. We demonstrated that all three proteins (GspSA, YgiC and YjfC) catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP; however, YgiC and YjfC cannot synthesize G-Sp, GSH, or GSH intermediates. gsp, ygiC, and yjfC genes were eliminated from the E. coli genome to test the ability of mutant strains to synthesize G-Sp conjugate. E. coli cells deficient in GspSA do not produce G-Sp while synthesis of the conjugate is not affected in ΔygiC and ΔyjfC mutants. All together our results indicate that YgiC and YjfC are not glutathionylspermidine synthetases as predicted from the amino acid sequence analysis. 相似文献

Inspiratory muscle weakness in patients with COPD is of major clinical relevance. For instance, maximum inspiratory pressure generation is an independent determinant of survival in severe COPD. Traditionally, inspiratory muscle weakness has been ascribed to hyperinflation-induced diaphragm shortening. However, more recently, invasive evaluation of diaphragm contractile function, structure, and biochemistry demonstrated that cellular and molecular alterations occur, of which several can be considered pathologic of nature. Whereas the fiber type shift towards oxidative type I fibers in COPD diaphragm is regarded beneficial, rendering the overloaded diaphragm more resistant to fatigue, the reduction of diaphragm fiber force generation in vitro likely contributes to diaphragm weakness. The reduced diaphragm force generation at single fiber level is associated with loss of myosin content in these fibers. Moreover, the diaphragm in COPD is exposed to oxidative stress and sarcomeric injury. This review postulates that the oxidative stress and sarcomeric injury activate proteolytic machinery, leading to contractile protein wasting and, consequently, loss of force generating capacity of diaphragm fibers in patients with COPD. Interestingly, several of these presumed pathologic alterations are already present early in the course of the disease (GOLD I/II), although these patients appear not limited in their daily life activities. Treatment of diaphragm dysfunction in COPD is complex since its etiology is unclear, but recent findings indicate the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway as a prime target to attenuate diaphragm wasting in COPD. 相似文献
