The growth phase of a bacterial (Salmonella typhimurium) culture was shown to have pronounced effects on the pathogenic properties of the harvested bacteria. Salmonellae obtained from a culture in primary (exponential) growth phase (PP) were more readily cleared from the blood and more readily killed by phagocytes than were salmonellae obtained from a more slowly growing secondary growth phase (SP) culture. PP salmonellae were observed to cause death of mice sooner than SP salmonellae. This appeared to be because the more rapid growth of PP, as compared to SP, salmonellae continued in the liver and spleen for several hours following intravenous injection, and more than compensated for their high in vivo death rate. As a result, within 4 h there were approximately 10-fold more live salmonellae in the spleens and livers of mice that had received PP, as compared to SP, salmonellae. This 10-fold difference was maintained until the death of the mice, indicating that after the first 4 h post-inoculation, the net in vivo growth of the salmonellae was the same regardless of their growth phase in the inoculating culture. This transition between PP and SP salmonellae occurred long before a dense stationary phase culture was obtained. Salmonellae grown in minimal media exhibited the biological properties of SP salmonellae and never entered as rapid a growth phase as did salmonellae in complete media.  相似文献

Ion Effects on Calcium Accumulation by Cardiac Sarcoplasmic Reticulum   总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3  
The effects of monovalent cations on the active calcium-accumulating ability of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum were assessed. Grana prepared in an ion-free system accumulated calcium when ATP and Mg++ were present. Sodium ion and to a lesser extent lithium but not K+ reduced the amount of calcium taken up. The reduction of calcium binding by Na+ is not due to inhibition of uptake but to a rapid release of the radiocalcium bound. The amount of calcium released by sodium does not appear to be enough to explain contraction on the basis of sodium influx into muscle, but may be significant in the regulation of tension.  相似文献

In the causative agent of syphilis, Treponema pallidum, the gene encoding 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, gpm, is part of a six-gene operon (tro operon) that is regulated by the Mn-dependent repressor TroR. Since substrate-level phosphorylation via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway is the principal way to generate ATP in T. pallidum and Gpm is a key enzyme in this pathway, Mn could exert a regulatory effect on central metabolism in this bacterium. To study this, T. pallidum gpm was cloned, Gpm was purified from Escherichia coli, and antiserum against the recombinant protein was raised. Immunoblots indicated that Gpm was expressed in freshly extracted infective T. pallidum. Enzyme assays indicated that Gpm did not require Mn(2+) while 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) was required for maximum activity. Consistent with these observations, Mn did not copurify with Gpm. The purified Gpm was stable for more than 4 h at 25 degrees C, retained only 50% activity after incubation for 20 min at 34 degrees C or 10 min at 37 degrees C, and was completely inactive after 10 min at 42 degrees C. The temperature effect was attenuated when 1 mM DPG was added to the assay mixture. The recombinant Gpm from pSLB2 complemented E. coli strain PL225 (gpm) and restored growth on minimal glucose medium in a temperature-dependent manner. Increasing the temperature of cultures of E. coli PL225 harboring pSLB2 from 34 to 42 degrees C resulted in a 7- to 11-h period in which no growth occurred (compared to wild-type E. coli). These data suggest that biochemical properties of Gpm could be one contributing factor to the heat sensitivity of T. pallidum.  相似文献

Target sites for homing endonucleases occur infrequently in complex genomes. As a consequence, these enzymes can be used in mammalian systems to introduce double-strand breaks at recognition sites inserted within defined loci to study DNA repair by homologous and nonhomologous recombination. Using homing endonucleases for gene targeting in vivo would be more feasible if temporal or spatial regulation of their enzymatic activity were possible. Here, we show that the DNA cleavage activity of the yeast PI-SceI homing endonuclease can be turned on and off using a redox switch. Two cysteine pairs (Cys-64/Cys-344 and Cys-67/Cys-365) were separately inserted into flexible DNA binding loop(s) to create disulfide bonds that lock the endonuclease into a nonproductive conformation. The cleavage activities of the reduced Cys-64/Cys-344 and Cys-67/Cys-365 variants are similar or slightly lower than that of the control protein, but the activities of the proteins in the oxidized state are decreased more than 30-fold. Modulating the activity of the proteins is easily accomplished by adding or removing the reducing agent. We show that defects in DNA binding account for the decreased DNA cleavage activities of the proteins containing disulfide bonds. Interestingly, the Cys-67/Cys-365 variant toggles between two different DNA binding conformations under reducing and oxidizing conditions, which may permit the identification of structural differences between the two states. These studies demonstrate that homing endonuclease activity can be controlled using a molecular switch.  相似文献

Sterol O-acyltransferase 2 (SOAT2), also known as ACAT2, is the major cholesterol esterifying enzyme in the liver and small intestine (SI). Esterified cholesterol (EC) carried in certain classes of plasma lipoproteins is hydrolyzed by lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) when they are cleared from the circulation. Loss-of-function mutations in LIPA, the gene that encodes LAL, result in Wolman disease (WD) or cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD). Hepatomegaly and a massive increase in tissue EC levels are hallmark features of both disorders. While these conditions can be corrected with enzyme replacement therapy, the question arose as to what effect the loss of SOAT2 function might have on tissue EC sequestration in LAL-deficient mice. When weaned at 21 days, Lal/:Soat2+/+ mice had a whole liver cholesterol content (mg/organ) of 24.7 mg vs 1.9 mg in Lal+/+:Soat2+/+ littermates, with almost all the excess sterol being esterified. Over the next 31 days, liver cholesterol content in the Lal/:Soat2+/+ mice increased to 145 ± 2 mg but to only 29 ± 2 mg in their Lal/:Soat2/ littermates. The level of EC accumulation in the SI of the Lal/:Soat2/ mice was also much less than in their Lal/:Soat2+/+ littermates. In addition, there was a >70% reduction in plasma transaminase activities in the Lal/:Soat2/ mice. These studies illustrate how the severity of disease in a mouse model for CESD can be substantially ameliorated by elimination of SOAT2 function.  相似文献

Antigen receptor gene rearrangements are initiated by the RAG1/2 protein complex, which recognizes specific DNA sequences termed RSS (recombination signal sequences). The RAG recombinase can also catalyze transposition: integration of a DNA segment bounded by RSS into an unrelated DNA target. For reasons that remain poorly understood, such events occur readily in vitro, but are rarely detected in vivo. Previous work showed that non-B DNA structures, particularly hairpins, stimulate transposition. Here we show that the sequence of the four nucleotides at a hairpin tip modulates transposition efficiency over a surprisingly wide (>100-fold) range. Some hairpin targets stimulate extraordinarily efficient transposition (up to 15%); one serves as a potent and specific transposition inhibitor, blocking capture of targets and destabilizing preformed target capture complexes. These findings suggest novel regulatory possibilities and may provide insight into the activities of other transposases.  相似文献

Mitochondria dynamically fuse and divide within cells, and the proper balance of fusion and fission is necessary for normal mitochondrial function, morphology, and distribution. Drp1 is a dynamin-related GTPase required for mitochondrial fission in mammalian cells. It harbors four distinct domains: GTP-binding, middle, insert B, and GTPase effector. A lethal mutation (A395D) within the Drp1 middle domain was reported in a neonate with microcephaly, abnormal brain development, optic atrophy, and lactic acidemia (Waterham, H. R., Koster, J., van Roermund, C. W., Mooyer, P. A., Wanders, R. J., and Leonard, J. V. (2007) N. Engl. J. Med. 356, 1736–1741). Mitochondria within patient-derived fibroblasts were markedly elongated, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these findings were not demonstrated. Because the middle domain is particularly important for the self-assembly of some dynamin superfamily proteins, we tested the hypothesis that this A395D mutation, and two other middle domain mutations (G350D, G363D) were important for Drp1 tetramerization, higher order assembly, and function. Although tetramerization appeared largely intact, each of these mutations compromised higher order assembly and assembly-dependent stimulation of Drp1 GTPase activity. Moreover, mutant Drp1 proteins exhibited impaired localization to mitochondria, indicating that this higher order assembly is important for mitochondrial recruitment, retention, or both. Overexpression of these middle domain mutants markedly inhibited mitochondrial division in cells. Thus, the Drp1 A395D lethal defect likely resulted in impaired higher order assembly of Drp1 at mitochondria, leading to decreased fission, elongated mitochondria, and altered cellular distribution of mitochondria.  相似文献

Background

Among approximately 163.5 million foreign-born persons admitted to the United States annually, only 500,000 immigrants and refugees are required to undergo overseas tuberculosis (TB) screening. It is unclear what extent of the unscreened nonimmigrant visitors contributes to the burden of foreign-born TB in the United States.

Methodology/Principal Findings

We defined foreign-born persons within 1 year after arrival in the United States as “newly arrived”, and utilized data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and World Health Organization to estimate the incidence of TB among newly arrived foreign-born persons in the United States. During 2001 through 2008, 11,500 TB incident cases, including 291 multidrug-resistant TB incident cases, were estimated to occur among 20,989,738 person-years for the 1,479,542,654 newly arrived foreign-born persons in the United States. Of the 11,500 estimated TB incident cases, 41.6% (4,783) occurred among immigrants and refugees, 36.6% (4,211) among students/exchange visitors and temporary workers, 13.8% (1,589) among tourists and business travelers, and 7.3% (834) among Canadian and Mexican nonimmigrant visitors without an I-94 form (e.g., arrival-departure record). The top 3 newly arrived foreign-born populations with the largest estimated TB incident cases per 100,000 admissions were immigrants and refugees from high-incidence countries (e.g., 2008 WHO-estimated TB incidence rate of ≥100 cases/100,000 population/year; 235.8 cases/100,000 admissions, 95% confidence interval [CI], 228.3 to 243.3), students/exchange visitors and temporary workers from high-incidence countries (60.9 cases/100,000 admissions, 95% CI, 58.5 to 63.3), and immigrants and refugees from medium-incidence countries (e.g., 2008 WHO-estimated TB incidence rate of 15–99 cases/100,000 population/year; 55.2 cases/100,000 admissions, 95% CI, 51.6 to 58.8).

Conclusions/Significance

Newly arrived nonimmigrant visitors contribute substantially to the burden of foreign-born TB in the United States. To achieve the goals of TB elimination, direct investment in global TB control and strategies to target nonimmigrant visitors should be considered.  相似文献

Chemokines play a key role in leukocyte recruitment during inflammation and are implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of autoimmune diseases. As such, inhibiting chemokine signaling has been of keen interest for the development of therapeutic agents. This endeavor, however, has been hampered due to complexities in the chemokine system. Many chemokines have been shown to signal through multiple receptors and, conversely, most chemokine receptors bind to more than one chemokine. One approach to overcoming this complexity is to develop a single therapeutic agent that binds and inactivates multiple chemokines, similar to an immune evasion strategy utilized by a number of viruses. Here, we describe the development and characterization of a novel therapeutic antibody that targets a subset of human CC chemokines, specifically CCL3, CCL4, and CCL5, involved in chronic inflammatory diseases. Using a sequential immunization approach, followed by humanization and phage display affinity maturation, a therapeutic antibody was developed that displays high binding affinity towards the three targeted chemokines. In vitro, this antibody potently inhibits chemotaxis and chemokine-mediated signaling through CCR1 and CCR5, primary chemokine receptors for the targeted chemokines. Furthermore, we have demonstrated in vivo efficacy of the antibody in a SCID-hu mouse model of skin leukocyte migration, thus confirming its potential as a novel therapeutic chemokine antagonist. We anticipate that this antibody will have broad therapeutic utility in the treatment of a number of autoimmune diseases due to its ability to simultaneously neutralize multiple chemokines implicated in disease pathogenesis.  相似文献
