Goats and some sheep synthesize a juvenile hemoglobin, Hb C (alpha 2 beta
C2), at birth and produce this hemoglobin exclusively during severe anemia.
Sheep that synthesize this juvenile hemoglobin are of the A haplotype.
Other sheep, belonging to a separate group, the B haplotype, do not
synthesize hemoglobin C and during anemia continue to produce their adult
hemoglobin. To understand the basis for this difference we have determined
the structural organization of the beta- globin locus of B-type sheep by
constructing and isolating overlapping genomic clones. These clones have
allowed us to establish the linkage map 5' epsilon I-epsilon II-psi beta
I-beta B-epsilon III-epsilon IV- psi beta II-beta F3' in this haplotype.
Thus, B sheep lack four genes, including the BC gene, and have only eight
genes, compared with the 12 found in the goat globin locus. The goat
beta-globin locus is as follows: 5' epsilon I-epsilon II-psi beta X-beta
C-epsilon III-epsilon IV-psi beta Z-beta A-epsilon V-epsilon VI-psi beta
Y-beta F3'. Southern blot analysis of A-type sheep reveals that these
animals have a beta- globin locus similar to that of goat, i.e., 12 globin
genes. Thus, the beta-globin locus of B-haplotype sheep resembles that of
cows and may have retained the duplicated locus of the ancestor of cows and
sheep. Alternatively, the B-sheep locus arrangement may be the result of a
deletion of a four-gene set from the triplicated locus.

Gold salts and phenylbutazone selectively inhibit the synthesis of PGF2α and PGE2 respectively. Lowered production of one prostaglandin species is accompanied by an increased production of the other. Selective inhibition by these drugs was observed in the presence of adrenaline, reduced glutathione and copper sulphate under conditions when most anti-inflammatory compounds inhibited PGE2 and PGF2α syntheses equally. It is postulated that selective inhibitors may have a different mode of action
and beneficial effects may be related to the endogenous ratio of PGE to PGF required for normal function. 相似文献

Two silicone coatings have been evaluated for barnacle adhesion. One coating is an unfilled hydrosilation cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) network, while the other is a room temperature vulcanized (RTV), filled, ethoxysiloxane cured PDMS elastomer, RTV11?. The adhesion strength of one species of barnacle, Balanus eburneus, to the hydrosilation coatings is in the range of 0.37–0.60 kg cm‐2 while the corresponding range for RTV11 is 0.64–0.90 kg cm‐2. The easier release of B. eburneus from the hydrosilation cured network compared to RTV11 is discussed in relationship to differences in bulk and surface properties. Preliminary results suggest bulk modulus may be the most important parameter in determining barnacle adhesion strength. In light or mechanical property analysis, a re‐evaluation of surface properties and chemical stability is presented. 相似文献

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography with UV absorbance detection has been applied for fast and selective determination of creatinine in samples of postdialysate fluid. Optimization of the method was performed, with the best results being obtained using a 30 mM borate-100 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate background electrolyte, pH 9, with the detector set at 235 nm and an applied voltage of 17 kV across a fused-silica capillary of 67 cm/75 micro m I.D. The linear range of the technique was over 2 orders of magnitude (5-1000 micro M). The developed analytical procedure is useful for the monitoring of clinical hemodialysis treatment, because creatinine levels in real undiluted samples of postdialysate range from 80 to 350 micro M. The separation system allows the analysis of about six to seven samples of spent dialysate per hour in almost real time. The determinations are not influenced by other components of dialysate fluid nor by other surrogates extracted from patient blood. The results of analysis using the developed procedure and the kinetic spectrophotometric Jaffe method conventionally used in clinical settings for creatinine determination are fully comparable. Successful clinical evaluation of the analytical system was performed. The developed system is useful for bloodless estimation of bioanalytical parameters of hemodialysis sessions such as creatinine-time profiles and total creatinine removal. Both these parameters are important in clinical models of hemodialysis therapy. 相似文献

Background
The formation of a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues stabilizes protein structure. Although we now have a good understanding of the Escherichia coli disulfide formation system, the machineries at work in other bacteria, including pathogens, are poorly characterized. Thus, the objective of this work was to improve our understanding of the disulfide formation machinery of Helicobacter pylori, a leading cause of ulcers and a risk factor for stomach cancer worldwide.Methods and Results
The protein HP0231 from H. pylori, a structural counterpart of E. coli DsbG, is the focus of this research. Its function was clarified by using a combination of biochemical, microbiological and genetic approaches. In particular, we determined the biochemical properties of HP0231 as well as its redox state in H. pylori cells.Conclusion
Altogether our results show that HP0231 is an oxidoreductase that catalyzes disulfide bond formation in the periplasm. We propose to call it HpDsbA. 相似文献9.

Abstract: White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are important game mammals and potential reservoirs of diseases of domestic livestock; thus, diseases of deer are of great concern to wildlife managers. Contact, either direct or indirect, is necessary for disease transmission, but we know little about the ecological contexts that promote intrasexual contact among deer. Using pair-wise direct contacts estimated from Global Positioning System collar locations and joint utilization distributions (JUDs), we assessed habitats in which contacts occur to test whether direct contact rates among female white-tailed deer in different social groups differs among land-cover types. We also tested whether contact rates differed among seasons, lunar phases, and times of day. We obtained locations from 27 female deer for periods of 0.5–17 months during 2002–2006. We designated any simultaneous pair of locations for 2 deer <25 m apart as a direct contact. For each season, we used compositional analysis to compare land-cover types where 2 deer had contact to available land-cover weighted by their JUD. We used mixed-model logistic regression to test for effects of season, lunar phase, and time of day on contact rates. Contact rates during the gestation season were greater than expected from random use in forest and grassland cover, whereas contact rates during the fawning period were greater in agricultural fields than in other land-cover types. Contact rates were greatest during the rut and lowest in summer. Diel patterns of contact rates varied with season, and contact rates were elevated during full moon compared to other lunar periods. Both spatial and temporal analyses suggest that contact between female deer in different social groups occurs mainly during feeding, which highlights the potential impact of food distribution and habitat on contact rates among deer. By using methods to associate contacts and land-cover, we have created beneficial tools for more elaborate and detailed studies of disease transmission. Our methods can offer information necessary to develop spatially realistic models of disease transmission in deer. 相似文献
