Population genetics and phylogenetics of DNA sequence variation at multiple loci within the Drosophila melanogaster species complex 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
Two regions of the genome, a 1-kbp portion of the zeste locus and a 1.1-
kbp portion of the yolk protein 2 locus, were sequenced in six individuals
from each of four species: Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, D.
mauritiana, and D. sechellia. The species and strains were the same as
those of a previous study of a 1.9-kbp region of the period locus. No
evidence was found for recent balancing or directional selection or for the
accumulation of selected differences between species. Yolk protein 2 has a
high level of amino acid replacement variation and a low level of
synonymous variation, while zeste has the opposite pattern. This contrast
is consistent with information on gene function and patterns of codon bias.
Polymorphism levels are consistent with a ranking of effective population
sizes, from low to high, in the following order: D. sechellia, D.
melanogaster, D.mauritiana, and D. simulans. The apparent species
relationships are very similar to those suggested by the period locus
study. In particular, D. simulans appears to be a large population that is
still segregating variation that arose before the separation of D.
mauritiana and D. sechellia. It is estimated that the separation of
ancestral D. melanogaster from the other species occurred 2.5-3.4 Mya. The
separations of D. sechellia and D. mauritiana from ancestral D. simulans
appear to have occurred 0.58- 0.86 Mya, with D. mauritiana having diverged
from ancestral D. simulans 0.1 Myr more recently than D. sechellia.

We performed a hospital-based, unmatched case-control study to investigate the association between progressive stages of cervical neoplasia and digital analysis of cell proliferation by silver stained nucleolus organizer region associated proteins (AgNORs). We measured cell proliferation levels in the cervical epithelial cells of 10 women with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LG-SIL), eight with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HG-SIL), 11 with cervical cancer (CC) and eight with no cervical lesions (controls) using the AgNORs technique. Cell proliferation was measured by digital image analysis (DIA). DIA revealed increased total areas of AgNORs in HG-SIL and CC compared to LG-SIL and control patients. AgNORs with a kidney or cluster shape exhibited greater areas than those with a spherical or long shape. We propose a cut-off of 118 pixels to differentiate benign (control and LG-SIL) from malignant (HG-SIL and CC) lesions. DIA of AgNORs is a simple and inexpensive method for studying proliferation. The increased total area of AgNORs in malignant lesions provides information regarding cell behavior and may be related to cervical carcinogenesis; however, further validation studies are required to establish its usefulness in cytological analysis. 相似文献

Direct measurement of ferrous ion transport across membranes using a sensitive fluorometric assay 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The fluorophore, Phen Green SK (PGSK), was assessed for its suitability to be used in an assay for ferrous ion transport into membrane vesicles. The long wavelengths of excitation and emission (506 and 520 nm, respectively) enable PGSK fluorescence to be detected in membranes, such as the chloroplast inner envelope, that contain high levels of carotenoids which absorb light at lower wavelengths. At low concentrations of Fe2+, less than 3 microM, the interaction between PGSK and Fe2+ appears to result in both static and dynamic quenching of the PGSK fluorescence. The characteristics of this quenching were used to develop a calibration curve to determine the concentration of free Fe2+ at these low concentrations. Pronounced quenching of PGSK fluorescence entrapped within chloroplast inner envelope membrane vesicles was observed when Fe2+ was added. The extent of quenching of PGSK fluorescence trapped inside asolectin vesicles on Fe2+ addition was much less. The kinetics of the quenching of PGSK fluorescence by Fe2+ in vesicles was quite different from that for PGSK and Fe2+ in solution. Using the calibration curve developed for interaction of PGSK and low Fe2+ concentrations the initial rates of iron transport could be determined for the chloroplast inner envelope membranes. 相似文献

The initial rate of Fe(2+) movement across the inner envelope membrane of pea (Pisum sativum) chloroplasts was directly measured by stopped-flow spectrofluorometry using membrane vesicles loaded with the Fe(2+)-sensitive fluorophore, Phen Green SK. The rate of Fe(2+) transport was rapid, coming to equilibrium within 3s. The maximal rate and concentration dependence of Fe(2+) transport in predominantly right-side-out vesicles were nearly equivalent to those measured in largely inside-out vesicles. Fe(2+) transport was stimulated by an inwardly directed electrochemical proton gradient across right-side-out vesicles, an effect that was diminished by the addition of valinomycin in the presence of K(+). Fe(2+) transport was inhibited by Zn(2+), in a competitive manner, as well as by Cu(2+) and Mn(2+). These results indicate that inward-directed Fe(2+) transport across the chloroplast inner envelope occurs by a potential-stimulated uniport mechanism. 相似文献

The initial rate of Ca2+ movement across the inner-envelope membrane of pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts was directly measured by stopped-flow spectrofluorometry using membrane vesicles loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive fluorophore fura-2. Calibration of fura-2 fluorescence was achieved by combining a ratiometric method with Ca2+-selective minielectrodes to determine pCa values. The initial rate of Ca2+ influx in predominantly right-side-out inner-envelope membrane vesicles was greater than that in largely inside-out vesicles. Ca2+ movement was stimulated by an inwardly directed electrochemical proton gradient across the membrane vesicles, an effect that was diminished by the addition of valinomycin in the presence of K+. In addition, Ca2+ was shown to move across the membrane vesicles in the presence of a K+ diffusion potential gradient. The potential-stimulated rate of Ca2+ transport was slightly inhibited by diltiazem and greatly inhibited by ruthenium red. Other pharmacological agents such as LaCl3, verapamil, and nifedipine had little or no effect. These results indicate that Ca2+ transport across the chloroplast inner envelope can occur by a potential-stimulated uniport mechanism. 相似文献

1-Thio-beta-D-galactofuranosides: synthesis and evaluation as beta-D- galactofuranosidase inhibitors

Beta-D-galactofuranosidase is a good chemotherapeutic target for the design
of inhibitors, since beta-D-galactofuranose is a constituent of important
parasite glycoconjugates but is not present in the host mammals. With this
aim, we have synthesized for the first time alkyl, benzyl and aryl
1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranosides by condensation of
penta-O-benzoyl-alpha,beta-D-galactofuranose with the corresponding thiols,
in the presence of SnCl4as catalyst. The complete chemical and
spectroscopical characterization of these compounds showed that the
reaction was stereoselective. Debenzoylation with sodium methoxide afforded
the beta-S-galactofuranosides in high yield. The thioglycosides were tested
as inhibitors of the beta-D- galactofuranosidase of Penicillium fellutanum,
using for the first time 4-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactofuranoside as
chromogenic substrate. The 4- aminophenyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranoside,
obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrophenyl derivative, was the
best inhibitor being then an adequate ligand for the preparation of an
affinity phase aimed at the isolation of beta-d-galactofuranosidases from
different sources. Also the inhibitory activity of d-galactono-1, 4-lactone
was shown.
