Background
The plant peroxisomal multifunctional protein (MFP) possesses up to four enzymatic activities that are involved in catalyzing different reactions of fatty acid β-oxidation in the peroxisome matrix. In addition to these peroxisomal activities, in vitro assays revealed that rice MFP possesses microtubule- and RNA-binding activities suggesting that this protein also has important functions in the cytosol. 相似文献2.

Exercise has been recommended as a remedy against a worldwide obesity epidemic; however, the onset of excessive weight gain is not fully understood, nor are the effects of exercise on body weight control. Activity deficits of the sympathetic nervous system, including the sympathoadrenal axis, have been suggested to contribute to high fat accumulation in obesity. In the present work, swim training was used to observe fat accumulation and adrenal catecholamine stocks in hypothalamic-obese mice produced by neonatal treatment with monosodium L-glutamate (MSG). MSG-treated and normal mice swam for 15 min/day, 3 days a week, from weaning up to 90 days old (EXE 21-90); from weaning up to 50 days old (EXE 21-50) and from 60 up to 90 days old (EXE 60-90). Sedentary MSG and normal mice (SED groups) did not exercise at all. Animals were sacrificed at 90 days of age. MSG treatment induced obesity, demonstrated by a 43.08% increase in epididymal fat pad weight; these adult obese mice presented 27.7% less catecholamine stocks in their adrenal glands than untreated mice (p<0.001). Exercise reduced fat accumulation and increased adrenal catecholamine content in EXE 21-90 groups. These effects were more pronounced in MSG-mice than in normal ones. Halting the exercise (EXE 21-50 groups) still changed fat accretion and catecholamine stocks; however, no effects were recorded in the EXE 60-90 groups. We conclude that metabolic changes imposed by early exercise, leading to an attenuation of MSG-hypothalamic obesity onset, are at least in part due to sympathoadrenal activity modulation. 相似文献

One major parvalbumin each was isolated from the skeletal muscle of two
reptiles, a boa snake, Boa constrictor, and a map turtle, Graptemys
geographica, while two parvalbumins were isolated from an amphibian, the
salamander Amphiuma means. The amino acid sequences of all four
parvalbumins were determined from the sequences of their tryptic peptides,
which were ordered partially by homology to other parvalbumins.
Phylogenetic study of these and 16 other parvalbumin sequences revealed
that the turtle parvalbumin belongs to beta lineage, while the salamander
sequences belong, one each, to the alpha and beta lineages defined by
Goodman and Pechere (1977). Boa parvalbumin, however, while belonging to
the beta lineage, clusters within the fish in all reasonably parsimonious
trees. The most parsimonious trees show many parallel or back mutations in
the evolution of many parvalbumin residues, although the residues
responsible for Ca2+ binding are very well conserved. These most
parsimonious trees show an actinopterygian rather than a crossoptyrigian
origin of the tetrapods in both the alpha and beta groups. One of two
electric eel parvalbumins is evolving more than 10 times faster than its
paralogous partner, suggesting it may be on its way to becoming a
pseudogene. It is concluded that varying rates of amino acid replacement,
much homoplasy, considerable gene duplication, plus complicated lineages
make the set of parvalbumin sequences unsuitable for systematic study of
the origin of the tetrapods and other higher-taxa divergence, although it
may be suitable within a genus or family.
