Summary Eight major antifreeze polypeptides (AFP) were purified from the sera of Newfoundland ocean pout. Except for their approximately identical size (6,000 Dalton), these components were shown to be separate entities by their behaviour on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, ion exchange chromatography, gel permeation and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. They could also be divided into two cross-reactive, yet distinct, immunological groups. Amino acid analysis demonstrated that ocean pout AFP are different from all of the other antifreezes studied to date. The ocean pout AFP do not contain the abundance of alanine (60 mol%) found in winter flounder and shorthorn sculpin AFP nor the high half-cystine residues (8 mol%) observed in sea raven AFP. It is suggested that ocean pout AFP represent a new type of macromolecular antifreeze.Abbreviations

Cell membrane proteome analysis is limited by inherent membrane hydrophobicity. Conventional membrane protein extraction techniques use detergents, chaotropes and organic acids that require sample clean-up or pH adjustment, and are associated with significant sample loss. We extracted membrane proteins from red blood cells (RBCs) using methanol (MeOH), trifluoroethanol (TFE) and urea, and identified membrane proteins using 2-D LC coupled with MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS. We show that organic solvents MeOH- and TFE-based methods have membrane protein analysis efficiencies comparable to urea, and are complementary for the recovery of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic peptides. The mean grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY) value of identified peptides from the TFE-based method (-0.107) was significantly higher than that of the MeOH-based method (-0.465) (p<0.001). Sequential and adjunctive use of the organic solvents MeOH and TFE increases the number of proteins identified, and the confidence of their identification. We show that this strategy is effective for shotgun membrane proteome analysis. 相似文献

We have developed a method to capture inserts from P1 and P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) clones into a yeast-bacteria shuttle vector by using recombinogenic targeting. We have engineered a vector, pPAC-ResQ, a derivative of pClasper, which was previously used to capture inserts from yeast artificial chromosome clones. pPAC-ResQ contains DNA fragments flanking the inserts in P1 and PAC vectors as recombinogenic ends. When linearized pPAC-ResQ vector and P1 or PAC DNA are cotransformed into yeast, recombination between the two leads to the transfer of inserts into pPAC-ResQ. pPAC-ResQ clones thus obtained can be further modified in yeast for functional analysis and shuttled to Escherichia coli to produce large quantities of cloned DNA. This approach provides a rapid method to modify P1/PAC clones for functional analysis. 相似文献

The non-coding intergenic regions of Hox genes are remarkably conserved among mammals. To determine the usefulness of this sequence for phylogenetic comparisons, we sequenced an 800-bp fragment of the Hoxc9–Hoxc8 intergenic region from several species belonging to different mammalian clades. Results obtained from the phylogenetic analysis are congruent with currently accepted mammalian phylogeny. Additionally, we found a TC mini satellite repeat polymorphism unique to felines. This polymorphism may serve as a useful marker to differentiate between mammalian species or as a genetic marker in feline matings. This study demonstrates usefulness of a comparative approach employing non-coding regions of Hox gene complexes. 相似文献

Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis has been reported predominantly among infants who have not completed the primary immunization series, whereas
infection by capsular f has been reported mostly in patients with significant underlying diseases. The present study analyses
H. influenzae type b & f infection among 25 unvaccinated patients with respiratory tract infections and symptoms of meningitis by PCR.
5/7 isolates from CSF sample were capsular type b; whereas capsular type f was detected in 2/10 and 5/8 isolates from throat
swab and sputum samples, respectively. Rest 13 strains were negative for both the capsular types. To conclude, in India where
H. influenzae type b conjugate vaccine is not included in national immunization program, individuals with respiratory tract infections
and meningitis are at a greater risk of developing infection with H. influenzae type b strains along with other capsular types and non-capsular types. 相似文献
