With the use of a patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell configuration, we studied the effects of pinacidil and its fluorine
derivatives on A-type potassium current (I
A) through the membrane of pyramidal neurons of the rat hippocampus. Hydrogen peroxide (10 mM) exerted no influence on the
rate of inactivation ofI
A; therefore, this current is probably mediated by Shal Kv4.2 potassium channels. Pinacidil demonstrated the properties of
a weakI
A blocker: in the 500 μM concentration it blocked about 45% of the current, while 50 μM of pinacidil fluorine derivatives were
capable of blocking up to 30% ofI
A. The effects of pinacidil and its derivatives showed no dependence on the stimulating potential. A similar pattern of the
effects of pinacidil fluorine derivatives, which are an order of magnitude stronger than those of pinacidil itself, allows
us to suppose that the imine nitrogen of the tested compounds is significantly more involved in the molecular interaction
with the site of an A-type potassium channel than the pyridine nitrogen. 相似文献

Warming, eutrophication (nutrient fertilization) and brownification (increased loading of allochthonous organic matter) are three global trends impacting lake ecosystems. However, the independent and synergistic effects of resource addition and warming on autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms are largely unknown. In this study, we investigate the independent and interactive effects of temperature, dissolved organic carbon (DOC, both allochthonous and autochthonous) and nitrogen (N) supply, in addition to the effect of spatial variables, on the composition, richness, and evenness of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial communities in lakes across elevation and N deposition gradients in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, USA. We found that both prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities are structured by temperature, terrestrial (allochthonous) DOC and latitude. Prokaryotic communities are also influenced by total and aquatic (autochthonous) DOC, while eukaryotic communities are also structured by nitrate. Additionally, increasing N availability was associated with reduced richness of prokaryotic communities, and both lower richness and evenness of eukaryotes. We did not detect any synergistic or antagonistic effects as there were no interactions among temperature and resource variables. Together, our results suggest that (a) organic and inorganic resources, temperature, and geographic location (based on latitude and longitude) independently influence lake microbial communities; and (b) increasing N supply due to atmospheric N deposition may reduce richness of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes, probably by reducing niche dimensionality. Our study provides insight into abiotic processes structuring microbial communities across environmental gradients and their potential roles in material and energy fluxes within and between ecosystems. 相似文献

Biochemical and genetic studies suggest that vertebrates remove double-strand breaks (DSBs) from their genomes predominantly by two non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways. While canonical NHEJ depends on the well characterized activities of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and LIG4/XRCC4/XLF complexes, the activities and the mechanisms of the alternative, backup NHEJ are less well characterized. Notably, the contribution of LIG1 to alternative NHEJ remains conjectural and although biochemical, cytogenetic and genetic experiments implicate LIG3, this contribution has not been formally demonstrated. Here, we take advantage of the powerful genetics of the DT40 chicken B-cell system to delineate the roles of LIG1 and LIG3 in alternative NHEJ. Our results expand the functions of LIG1 to alternative NHEJ and demonstrate a remarkable ability for LIG3 to backup DSB repair by NHEJ in addition to its essential function in the mitochondria. Together with results on DNA replication, these observations uncover a remarkable and previously unappreciated functional flexibility and interchangeability between LIG1 and LIG3. 相似文献

The mu-opioid receptor (MOR) is the G-protein coupled receptor primarily responsible for mediating the analgesic and rewarding properties of opioid agonist drugs such as morphine, fentanyl, and heroin. We have utilized a combination of traditional and modified membrane yeast two-hybrid screening methods to identify a cohort of novel MOR interacting proteins (MORIPs). The interaction between the MOR and a subset of MORIPs was validated in pulldown, co-immunoprecipitation, and co-localization studies using HEK293 cells stably expressing the MOR as well as rodent brain. Additionally, a subset of MORIPs was found capable of interaction with the delta and kappa opioid receptors, suggesting that they may represent general opioid receptor interacting proteins (ORIPS). Expression of several MORIPs was altered in specific mouse brain regions after chronic treatment with morphine, suggesting that these proteins may play a role in response to opioid agonist drugs. Based on the known function of these newly identified MORIPs, the interactions forming the MOR signalplex are hypothesized to be important for MOR signaling and intracellular trafficking. Understanding the molecular complexity of MOR/MORIP interactions provides a conceptual framework for defining the cellular mechanisms of MOR signaling in brain and may be critical for determining the physiological basis of opioid tolerance and addiction. 相似文献

For 22 days after monocrotaline injection two groups of rats received either of the monocarbonyl curcumin analogs (2E,6E)‐2,6‐bis(2‐bromobenzylidene)cycloxehanone (B2BrBC) and (2E,6E)‐2,6‐bis([2‐tri?uoromethyl]benzylidene)cyclohexanone (C66), and their right ventricle parameters were compared to those from the control and the monocrotaline injected animals. B2BrBC and C66 treatments did not prevent the monocrotaline‐induced right ventricular hypertrophy but attenuated the changes in antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced inflammation. The level of thiol‐based nonenzymatic antioxidants did not change in the function of monocrotaline or curcumin analogs treatment. However, due to its stronger antioxidant properties, only B2BrBC treatment was effective in the reduction of monocrotaline‐associated lipid peroxidation. The obtained results suggest that increasing the levels of antioxidant enzymes may not be sufficient to reduce oxidative stress and chronic inflammation optimally and our current study supports the potential of compounds with more than one beneficial biological activity as a promising treatment against the progression of cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Insights into the evolution of the nucleolus by an analysis of its protein domain repertoire 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Recently, the first investigation of nucleoli using mass spectrometry led to the identification of 271 proteins. This represents a rich resource for a comprehensive investigation of nucleolus evolution. We applied a protocol for the identification of known and novel conserved protein domains of the nucleolus, resulting in the identification of 115 known and 91 novel domain profiles. The phyletic distribution of nucleolar protein domains in a collection of complete proteomes of selected organisms from all domains of life confirms the archaebacterial origin of the core machinery for ribosome maturation and assembly, but also reveals substantial eubacterial and eukaryotic contributions to nucleolus evolution. We predict that, in different phases of nucleolus evolution, protein domains with different biochemical functions were recruited to the nucleolus. We suggest a model for the late and continuous evolution of the nucleolus in early eukaryotes and argue against an endosymbiotic origin of the nucleolus and the nucleus.

Development of a SNP genotyping panel for genetic monitoring of the laboratory mouse 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

We have developed a genotyping system for detecting genetic contamination in the laboratory mouse based on assaying single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers positioned on all autosomes and the X chromosome. This system provides a fast, reliable, and cost-effective way for genetic monitoring, while maintaining a very high degree of confidence. We describe the allelic distribution of 235 SNPs in 48 mouse strains, thereby creating a database of polymorphisms useful for genotyping purposes. The SNP markers used in this study were chosen from publicly available SNP databases. Four genotyping methods were evaluated, and dynamic two-tube allele-specific PCR assays were developed for each marker and tested on a set of 48 inbred mouse strains. The minimal number of assays sufficient to distinguish groups consisting of different numbers of mouse strains was estimated, and a panel of 28 SNPs sufficient to distinguish virtually all of the inbred strains tested was selected. Amplifluor SNP detection assays were developed for these markers and tested on an extended list of 96 strains. This panel was used as a genetic quality control approach to monitor the genotypes of nearly 300 inbred, wild-derived, congenic, consomic, and recombinant inbred strains maintained at The Jackson Laboratory. We have concluded that this marker panel is sufficient for genetic contamination monitoring in colonies containing a large number of genetically diverse mouse strains and that reduced versions of the panel could be implemented in facilities housing a lower number of strains. 相似文献

Protective properties of immunoglobulin A (IgA) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against O and H antigens of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (S. enteritidis) were evaluated in a model of generalized infection after intranasal (i.n.) inoculation of BALB/c mice. Passive i.n. instillation of antibodies 1 h before i.n. challenge did not prevent infection, and mice developed rapid inflammatory response in the lower respiratory tract. The passive systemic immunization was partially protective and a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of both O and H antigen specific IgA antibodies prolonged survival period of the infected animals. Permanent secretion of O:9 specific IgA MAb 177E6 into the respiratory tract in a "backpack" tumor model protected 50% of animals infected i.n. with a high dose of virulent S. enteritidis strain. Thus, secretory IgA (S-IgA) directed against O:9 antigen alone can prevent bacterial invasion in the respiratory epithelium. 相似文献
