Amino acid changes S180A (S-->A at site 180), H197Y, Y277F, T285A, and
A308S are known to shift the maximum wavelength of absorption (lambda max)
of red and green visual pigments toward blue, essentially in an additive
fashion. To test the generality of this "five-sites" rule, we have
determined the partial amino acid sequences of red and green pigments from
five mammalian orders (Artiodactyla, Carnivora, Lagomorpha, Perissodactyla,
and Rodentia). The result suggests that cat (Felis catus), dog (Canis
familiaris), and goat (Capra hircus) pigments all with AHYTA at the five
critical sites have lambda max values of approximately 530 nm, whereas rat
(Rattus norvegicus) pigment with AYYTS has a lambda max value of
approximately 510 nm, which is accurately predicted by the five-sites rule.
However, the observed lambda max values of the orthologous pigments of
European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus
virginianus), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), and guinea pig (Cavia
procellus) are consistently more than 10 nm higher than the predicted
values, suggesting the existence of additional molecular mechanisms for red
and green color vision. The inferred amino acid sequences of ancestral
organisms suggest that the extant mammalian red and green pigments appear
to have evolved from a single ancestral green-red hybrid pigment by
directed amino acid substitutions.

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.4.
Background
Routine antibiotic prophylaxis following snakebite is not recommended but evidence suggests that it may be common practice in Zimbabwe. This study set out to determine and describe the extent of this practice at Parirenyatwa Hospital, a large teaching hospital in Zimbabwe 相似文献5.
DNA from Mediterranean and Asian beta-thalassemia patients, now residing in Germany, has been characterized by oligonucleotide hybridization and direct restriction analysis. Using five oligonucleotide pairs complementary to the most frequent beta-thalassemia mutations, and three different restriction enzymes, we were able to detect 33 of 36 mutations directly. 相似文献

The proteins encoded by the UL34 and UL31 genes of herpes simplex virus are conserved among herpesviruses. They form a complex that is essential for the egress of the herpesvirus nucleocapsids from the nucleus. In previous work on the homologous protein complex in murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), we defined their mutual binding domains. Here, we started to map binding domains within the UL34/UL31 proteins of alpha-, beta-, and gammaherpesviruses and to locate other functional properties. A protein complementation assay (PCA) using the TEM-1 beta-lactamase fragments fused to UL31 and UL34 protein homologues was used to study protein-protein interactions in cells. Wild-type MCMV M50 and M53 provided a strong reaction in the PCA, whereas mutants unable to form a complex did not. The homologous pairs of herpes simplex virus type 1, pseudorabies virus, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and murine herpes virus 68 proteins also reacted, with the exception of the EBV proteins. Cross-complementation was found to be positive only within the same herpesvirus subfamily. Moreover, the HCMV homologues rescued replication-defective MCMV genomes lacking one or the other gene. We identified the binding site of M53 for M50 in the first conserved region (CR1) (M. Loetzerich, Z. Ruzsics, and U. H. Koszinowski, J. Virol. 80:73-84). Here we show that the CR1 of all tested UL31 proteins contains the UL34 binding site, and chimeric proteins carrying the subfamily-specific CR1 rescued the ability to cross-complement in the PCA. 相似文献

The effect of DIVEMA (pyran copolymer) and three DIVEMA derivatives on the pinocytic uptake of 125I-labelled PVP and colloidal 198Au by the rat visceral yolk sac and by rat peritoneal macrophages was studied in vitro. Contrary to expectations from some earlier data, there was no enhancement of pinocytosis and in some cases inhibition was seen. [14C]DIVEMA and 125I-labelled DIVEMA were accumulated rapidly by rat peritoneal macrophages, the results indicating that this is by an adsorptive pinocytic mechanism. 相似文献

Derivatives of 9,10-anthracenedione, or anthraquinone, were shown to inhibit respiratory sulfate reduction by pure cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria, as well as by crude enrichment cultures. Structure-activity studies showed that an increasing degree of substitution of the anthraquinone nucleus resulted in increasing 50% inhibition (I(inf50)) values for sulfate respiration. Addition of charged ring substituents also resulted in an increase in the I(inf50) concentration. Experiments carried out with 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone demonstrated inhibition of hydrogen-dependent sulfate respiration but not hydrogen-dependent sulfite or thiosulfate respiration. Addition of pyruvate resulted in stimulation of sulfate-dependent hydrogen oxidation in the presence of the anthraquinone. These observations, together with a direct demonstration of uncoupling in French press vesicle preparations, suggest that the underlying mechanism of inhibition is uncoupling of ATP synthesis from electron transfer reactions. The low I(inf50) values for inhibition (0.5 to 10 (mu)M) and the relatively low general toxicity of anthraquinones suggest that these compounds may be useful for inhibition of sulfide generation in situations which are incompatible with the use of broadly toxic biocides. 相似文献
