Zusammenfassung In wäßriger Lösung wurden Aluminium- oder Eisen(3)-Ionen bei Siedetemperatur mit Hydroxyl- und Silikat- oder Phosphat- oder Humat-Ionen unter ständiger Aufrechterhaltung bestimmter Mengenverhältnisse umgesetzt. In den entstandenen Niederschlägen wurden die Molarprozente an Hydroxyl-, Silikat-, Phosphat- und Humat-Ionen inweitem Bereich abhängig von den Konzentrationen dieser Ionen im Gleichgewicht gefunden. Daher sind diese Niederschläge als Anionenaustauscher anzusehen. Es wurde die Vermutung ausgesprochen, daß die Aluminium- und Eisen-Verbindungen des Bodens die gleichen Austauschersubstanzen darstellen, und versucht, diese Vermutung durch Besprechung einiger bodenkundlicher Befunde zu stützen. Es zeigte sich, daß der für die Pflanzenernährung wichtige, schnelle Anionenaustausch an diesen röntgenamorphen Austauschersubstanzen erfolgt, ebenso wie der Kationenaustausch über die in den 30er Jahren entdeckten, kristallinen Tonminerale verläuft. 相似文献

The emerging resistance to artemisinin derivatives that has been reported in
South-East Asia led us to assess the efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine as the first
line therapy for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infections in
Suriname. This drug assessment was performed according to the recommendations of the
World Health Organization in 2011. The decreasing number of malaria cases in
Suriname, which are currently limited to migrating populations and gold miners,
precludes any conclusions on artemether efficacy because adequate numbers of patients
with 28-day follow-up data are difficult to obtain. Therefore, a comparison of day 3
parasitaemia in a 2011 study and in a 2005/2006 study was used to detect the
emergence of resistance to artemether. The prevalence of day 3 parasitaemia was
assessed in a study in 2011 and was compared to that in a study in 2005/2006. The
same protocol was used in both studies and artemether-lumefantrine was the study
drug. Of 48 evaluable patients in 2011, 15 (31%) still had parasitaemia on day 3
compared to one (2%) out of 45 evaluable patients in 2005/2006. Overall, 11 evaluable
patients in the 2011 study who were followed up until day 28 had negative slides and
similar findings were obtained in all 38 evaluable patients in the 2005/2006 study.
The significantly increased incidence of parasite persistence on day 3 may be an
indication of emerging resistance to artemether. 相似文献

Background
Cytokinin is a plant hormone that plays a crucial role in several processes of plant growth and development. In recent years, major breakthroughs have been achieved in the elucidation of the metabolism, the signal perception and transduction, as well as the biological functions of cytokinin. An important activity of cytokinin is the involvement in chloroplast development and function. Although this biological function has already been known for 50 years, the exact mechanisms remain elusive.Results
To elucidate the effects of altered endogenous cytokinin content on the structure and function of the chloroplasts, chloroplast subfractions (stroma and thylakoids) from transgenic Pssu-ipt and 35S:CKX1 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants with, respectively, elevated and reduced endogenous cytokinin content were analysed using two different 2-DE approaches. Firstly, thykaloids were analysed by blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by SDS-PAGE (BN/SDS-PAGE). Image analysis of the gel spot pattern thus obtained from thylakoids showed no substantial differences between wild-type and transgenic tobacco plants. Secondly, a quantitative DIGE analysis of CHAPS soluble proteins derived from chloroplast subfractions indicated significant gel spot abundance differences in the stroma fraction. Upon identification by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry, these proteins could be assigned to the Calvin-Benson cycle and photoprotective mechanisms.Conclusion
Taken together, presented proteomic data reveal that the constitutively altered cytokinin status of transgenic plants does not result in any qualitative changes in either stroma proteins or protein complexes of thylakoid membranes of fully developed chloroplasts, while few but significant quantitative differences are observed in stroma proteins. 相似文献4.

This paper shows that high-molecular-weight tropomyosins (TMs), as well as shorter isoforms of this protein, are present in significant amounts in lamellipodia and filopodia of spreading normal and transformed cells. The presence of TM in these locales was ascertained by staining of cells with antibodies reacting with endogenous TMs and through the expression of hemaglutinin- and green fluorescent protein-tagged TM isoforms. The observations are contrary to recent reports suggesting the absence of TMs in regions,where polymerization of actin takes place, and indicate that the view of the role of TM in the formation of actin filaments needs to be significantly revised. 相似文献

Background
The karyotypes of Leptodactylus species usually consist of 22 bi-armed chromosomes, but morphological variations in some chromosomes and even differences in the 2n have been reported. To better understand the mechanisms responsible for these differences, eight species were analysed using classical and molecular cytogenetic techniques, including replication banding with BrdU incorporation.Results
Distinct chromosome numbers were found: 2n = 22 in Leptodactylus chaquensis, L. labyrinthicus, L. pentadactylus, L. petersii, L. podicipinus, and L. rhodomystax; 2n = 20 in Leptodactylus sp. (aff. podicipinus); and 2n = 24 in L. marmoratus. Among the species with 2n = 22, only three had the same basic karyotype. Leptodactylus pentadactylus presented multiple translocations, L. petersii displayed chromosome morphological discrepancy, and L. podicipinus had four pairs of telocentric chromosomes. Replication banding was crucial for characterising this variability and for explaining the reduced 2n in Leptodactylus sp. (aff. podicipinus). Leptodactylus marmoratus had few chromosomes with a similar banding patterns to the 2n = 22 karyotypes. The majority of the species presented a single NOR-bearing pair, which was confirmed using Ag-impregnation and FISH with an rDNA probe. In general, the NOR-bearing chromosomes corresponded to chromosome 8, but NORs were found on chromosome 3 or 4 in some species. Leptodactylus marmoratus had NORs on chromosome pairs 6 and 8. The data from C-banding, fluorochrome staining, and FISH using the telomeric probe helped in characterising the repetitive sequences. Even though hybridisation did occur on the chromosome ends, telomere-like repetitive sequences outside of the telomere region were identified. Metaphase I cells from L. pentadactylus confirmed its complex karyotype constitution because 12 chromosomes appeared as ring-shaped chain in addition to five bivalents.Conclusions
Species of Leptodactylus exhibited both major and minor karyotypic differences which were identified by classical and molecular cytogenetic techniques. Replication banding, which is a unique procedure that has been used to obtain longitudinal multiple band patterns in amphibian chromosomes, allowed us to outline the general mechanisms responsible for these karyotype differences. The findings also suggested that L. marmoratus, which was formerly included in the genus Adenomera, may have undergone great chromosomal repatterning.6.
L-Lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH, E.C. 1.1.1.27) is encoded by two or three
loci in all vertebrates examined, with the exception of lampreys, which
have a single LDH locus. Biochemical characterizations of LDH proteins have
suggested that a gene duplication early in vertebrate evolution gave rise
to Ldh-A and Ldh-B and that an additional locus, Ldh-C arose in a number of
lineages more recently. Although some phylogenetic studies of LDH protein
sequences have supported this pattern of gene duplication, others have
contradicted it. In particular, a number of studies have suggested that
Ldh-C represents the earliest divergence among vertebrate LDHs and that it
may have diverged from the other loci well before the origin of
vertebrates. Such hypotheses make explicit statements about the
relationship of vertebrate and invertebrate LDHs, but to date, no closely
related invertebrate LDH sequences have been available for comparison. We
have attempted to provide further data on the timing of gene duplications
leading to multiple vertebrate LDHs by determining the cDNA sequence of the
LDH of the tunicate Styela plicata. Phylogenetic analyses of this and other
LDH sequences provide strong support for the duplications giving rise to
multiple vertebrate LDHs having occurred after vertebrates diverged from
tunicates. The timing of these LDH duplications is consistent with data
from a number of other gene families suggesting widespread gene duplication
near the origin of vertebrates. With respect to the relationships among
vertebrate LDHs, our data are not consistent with previous claims that
Ldh-C represented the earliest divergence. However, the precise
relationships among some of the main lineages of vertebrate LDHs were not
resolved in our analyses.

The infection by COVID-19 is a serious global public health problem. An efficient way to improve this disease's clinical management would be to characterize patients at higher risk of progressing to critically severe infection using prognostic biomarkers. The telomere length could be used for this purpose. Telomeres are responsible for controlling the number of maximum cell divisions. The telomere length is a biomarker of aging and several diseases. We aimed to compare leukocyte telomere length (LTL) between patients without COVID-19 and patients with different clinical severity of the infection. Were included 53 patients who underwent SARS-CoV-2 PCR divided in four groups. The first group was composed by patients with a negative diagnosis for COVID-19 (n = 12). The other three groups consisted of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 divided according to the severity of the disease: mild (n = 15), moderate (n = 17) and severe (n = 9). The LTL was determined by Q-PCR. The severe group had the shortest LTL, followed by the moderate group. The negative and mild groups showed no differences. There is an increase of patients with hypertension (p = 0.0099) and diabetes (p = 0.0067) in moderate and severe groups. Severe group was composed by older patients in comparison with the other three groups (p = 0.0083). Regarding sex, there was no significant difference between groups (p = 0.6279). In an ordinal regression model, only LTL and diabetes were significantly associated with disease severity. Shorter telomere length was significantly associated with the severity of COVID-19 infection, which can be useful as a biomarker or to better understand the SARS-CoV-2 pathophysiology. 相似文献

The dopamine transporter (DAT) is responsible for sequestration of extracellular dopamine (DA). The psychostimulant amphetamine (AMPH) is a DAT substrate, which is actively transported into the nerve terminal, eliciting vesicular depletion and reversal of DA transport via DAT. Here, we investigate the role of the DAT C terminus in AMPH-evoked DA efflux using cell-permeant dominant-negative peptides. A peptide, which corresponded to the last 24 C-terminal residues of DAT (TAT-C24 DAT) and thereby contained the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIα (CaMKIIα) binding domain and the PSD-95/Discs-large/ZO-1 (PDZ)-binding sequence of DAT, was made membrane-permeable by fusing it to the cell membrane transduction domain of the HIV-1 Tat protein (TAT-C24WT). The ability of TAT-C24WT but not a scrambled peptide (TAT-C24Scr) to block the CaMKIIα-DAT interaction was supported by co-immunoprecipitation experiments in heterologous cells. In heterologous cells, we also found that TAT-C24WT, but not TAT-C24Scr, decreased AMPH-evoked 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium efflux. Moreover, chronoamperometric recordings in striatum revealed diminished AMPH-evoked DA efflux in mice preinjected with TAT-C24WT. Both in heterologous cells and in striatum, the peptide did not further inhibit efflux upon KN-93-mediated inhibition of CaMKIIα activity, consistent with a dominant-negative action preventing binding of CaMKIIα to the DAT C terminus. This was further supported by the ability of a peptide with perturbed PDZ-binding sequence, but preserved CaMKIIα binding (TAT-C24AAA), to diminish AMPH-evoked DA efflux in vivo to the same extent as TAT-C24WT. Finally, AMPH-induced locomotor hyperactivity was attenuated following systemic administration of TAT-C24WT but not TAT-C24Scr. Summarized, our findings substantiate that DAT C-terminal protein-protein interactions are critical for AMPH-evoked DA efflux and suggest that it may be possible to target protein-protein interactions to modulate transporter function and interfere with psychostimulant effects. 相似文献

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), not only damages crops, but controlling its population also requires synthetic insecticides, which leads to selection of resistant populations and environmental contamination. Essential oils are an alternative for controlling this insect. There are few studies of the effects of these oils on the insect's reproductive system. We evaluated the effects of the long pepper, Piper hispidinervum, essential oil on the gonads of the armyworm and tested its possible influence on the fertility of this insect. Dosages of 30 and 50 mg/ml were tested in 3rd instar caterpillars using the leaf immersion method. Testes and ovarioles were collected, fixed with 10% formalin and embedded in Historesin. The sections were stained with toluidine blue and Mallory trichrome to detect connective tissue, periodic acid-Schiff to detect neutral carbohydrates, and bromophenol blue to detect proteins. We found that the long pepper essential oil affected negatively the spermatogenesis and altered the histochemistry of the ovarioles of S. frugiperda. The effects of long pepper oil suggest that it is a promising tool for controlling the armyworm pest. 相似文献
