The genes (mdh) encoding malate dehydrogenase (MDH) from the mesophile Chlorobium vibrioforme and the moderate thermophile C. tepidum were cloned and sequenced, and the complete amino acid sequences were deduced. When the region upstream of mdh was analyzed, a sequence with high homology to an operon encoding ribosomal proteins from Escherichia coli was found. Each mdh gene consists of a 930-bp open reading frame and encodes 310 amino acid residues, corresponding to a subunit weight of 33,200 Da for the dimeric enzyme. The amino acid sequence identity of the two MDHs is 86%. Homology searches using the primary structures of the two MDHs revealed significant sequence similarity to lactate dehydrogenases. A hybrid mdh was constructed from the 3' part of mdh from C. tepidum and the 5' part of mdh from C. vibrioforme. The thermostabilities of the hybrid enzyme and of MDH from C. vibrioforme and C. tepidum were compared.  相似文献

Pathways followed by ricin and Shiga toxin into cells   总被引:21,自引:5,他引:16  
The plant toxin ricin and the bacterial toxin Shiga toxin belong to a group of protein toxins that inhibit protein synthesis in cells enzymatically after entry into the cytosol. Ricin and Shiga toxin, which both have an enzymatically active moiety that inactivates ribosomes and a moiety that binds to cell surface receptors, enter the cytosol after binding to the cell surface, endocytosis by different mechanisms, and retrograde transport to the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The toxins can be used to investigate the various transport steps involved, both the endocytic mechanisms as well as pathways for retrograde transport to the ER. Recent studies show that not only do several endocytic mechanisms exist in the same cell, but they are not equally sensitive to removal of cholesterol. New data have revealed that there is also more than one pathway leading from endosomes to the Golgi apparatus and retrogradely from the Golgi to the ER. Trafficking of protein toxins along these pathways will be discussed in the present article.  相似文献

Peroxiredoxins (Prx) are thiol-dependent antioxidants containing one (1-cysteine [-Cys]) or two (2-Cys) conserved Cys residues that protect lipids, enzymes, and DNA against reactive oxygen species. In plants, the 1-Cys Prxs are highly expressed during late seed development, and the expression pattern is dormancy related in mature seeds. We have expressed the Arabidopsis 1-Cys Prx AtPER1 in Escherichia coli and show that this protein has antioxidant activity in vitro and protects E. coli in vivo against the toxic oxidant cumene hydroperoxide. Although some 1-Cys Prxs are targeted to the nucleus, a green fluorescent protein-AtPER1 fusion protein was also localized to the cytoplasm in an onion epidermis subcellular localization assay. It has been proposed that seed Prxs are involved in maintenance of dormancy and/or protect the embryo and aleurone layer surviving desiccation against damage caused by reactive oxygen species. These hypotheses were tested using transgenic Arabidopsis lines overexpressing the barley (Hordeum vulgare) 1-Cys PER1 protein and lines with reduced levels of AtPER1 due to antisensing or RNA interference. We found no correlation between Prx levels and the duration of the after-ripening period required before germination. Thus, Prxs are unlikely to contribute to maintenance of dormancy. RNA interference lines almost devoid of AtPER1 protein developed and germinated normally under standard growth room conditions. However, seeds from lines overexpressing PER1 were less inclined to germinate than wild-type seeds in the presence of NaCl, mannitol, and methyl viologen, suggesting that Prx can sense harsh environmental surroundings and play a part in the inhibition of germination under unfavorable conditions.  相似文献

The behaviour of weak basic analytes in liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) and the optimisation of parameters in whole blood are described. Benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepine drugs were chosen as model substances. Liquid-phase microextraction based on disposable polypropylene hollow fibres was used in the three-phase extraction of five weak bases from whole blood. The sample work up with the liquid-phase microextraction technique can be impeded by low recovery due to incomplete trapping in the acceptor phase of weakly basic drugs and the complexity of the whole blood matrix. Different parameters related to this problem were experimentally studied. Additionally the stability of the analytes was examined because of low pH in the acceptor phase. The investigation resulted in optimised LPME conditions for the extraction of weak bases from whole blood. The parameters limiting the recovery were evaluated.  相似文献

BackgroundCopy number aberrations frequently occur during the development of many cancers. Such events affect dosage of involved genes and may cause further genomic instability and progression of cancer. In this survey, canine SNP microarrays were used to study 117 canine mammary tumours from 69 dogs.ResultsWe found a high occurrence of copy number aberrations in canine mammary tumours, losses being more frequent than gains. Increased frequency of aberrations and loss of heterozygosity were positively correlated with increased malignancy in terms of histopathological diagnosis. One of the most highly recurrently amplified regions harbored the MYC gene. PTEN was located to a frequently lost region and also homozygously deleted in five tumours. Thus, deregulation of these genes due to copy number aberrations appears to be an important event in canine mammary tumour development. Other potential contributors to canine mammary tumour pathogenesis are COL9A3, INPP5A, CYP2E1 and RB1. The present study also shows that a more detailed analysis of chromosomal aberrations associated with histopathological parameters may aid in identifying specific genes associated with canine mammary tumour progression.ConclusionsThe high frequency of copy number aberrations is a prominent feature of canine mammary tumours as seen in other canine and human cancers. Our findings share several features with corresponding studies in human breast tumours and strengthen the dog as a suitable model organism for this disease.  相似文献

In Scandinavia, an increased red fox Vulpes vulpes density during the last decades has been suggested to be caused by direct and indirect human influences on food availability. Recently, attention has been focused on the role of increasing scavenging opportunities due to intensified hunting of ungulates and the reestablishment of large carnivores. In our study, we investigated seasonal and annual variations in diet composition of red fox in Varaldskogen, SE Norway, an area with cyclic voles and a high density of moose Alces alces. Analyses of scats revealed significant differences among seasons in the occurrence of ungulates—mainly moose—and ungulates were the dominating food category during winter (44.9 % of all remains). Snow tracking of red fox (71 km) in winter confirmed the importance of ungulate carcasses, i.e. one case of scavenging per 3 km. The proportions of voles were high during all seasons (11.2–28.8 %); in spite of variation in available abundances, no significant seasonal or annual differences were detected. Other food categories with seasonal variation were birds, berries/seeds and amphibians/reptiles, all more common in snow-free seasons. Our study underlines the importance of ungulate remains during periods when the abundance and diversity of alternative food sources is low. Increased and stabilized populations of red foxes—mediated through remains from hunting and wolf kills from high moose populations—might have an important effect on the population dynamics of small game. Hence, we recommend that this relationship be given attention in future studies.  相似文献

Engagement of the T-cell receptor (TCR) in human primary T cells activates a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-protein kinase A (PKA)-Csk inhibitory pathway that prevents full T-cell activation in the absence of a coreceptor stimulus. Here, we demonstrate that stimulation of CD28 leads to recruitment to lipid rafts of a β-arrestin/phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) complex that serves to degrade cAMP locally. Redistribution of the complex from the cytosol depends on Lck and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity. Protein kinase B (PKB) interacts directly with β-arrestin to form part of the supramolecular complex together with sequestered PDE4. Translocation is mediated by the PKB plextrin homology (PH) domain, thus revealing a new role for PKB as an adaptor coupling PI3K and cAMP signaling. Functionally, PI3K activation and phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3) production, leading to recruitment of the supramolecular PKB/β-arrestin/PDE4 complex to the membrane via the PKB PH domain, results in degradation of the TCR-induced cAMP pool located in lipid rafts, thereby allowing full T-cell activation to proceed.T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation alone is insufficient for activation of T cells, and sustainable T-cell immune responses require a second signal in addition to the TCR-mediated signal. The second signal is typically elicited by ligands B7-1 or B7-2 on antigen-presenting cells engaging the coreceptor CD28 to prevent anergy and apoptosis and enhancing interleukin-2 (IL-2) production and clonal expansion (4). Although CD28 plays a central role in T-cell activation in vivo (5), relatively little is known about the molecular basis for the increased efficacy of T-cell activation upon TCR and CD28 costimulation. Involvement of Lck, Itk, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), SLP-76, Vav-1, and phospholipase C-γ (PLC-γ) has, however, been reported (43). CD28-mediated signals are transmitted via a short intracellular stretch in the receptor containing a conserved YMNM motif (32). Phosphorylation of Tyr173 in this motif by Lck and Fyn following CD28 ligation is key to efficient signal transduction (41), generating a binding site for the SH2 domain of the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K (37, 40). CD28 may also contribute to TCR-dependent PI3K activity without recruiting PI3K directly (18). Whether engagement of CD28 alone can also induce PI3K activity has been a matter of controversy. However, recent reports confirming phosphorylation of the protein kinase B (PKB) substrate glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) upon CD28 ligation has demonstrated that this is indeed the case (6, 15). In addition, CD28 can recruit growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2), and such association of Grb2 occurs via the phosphorylated YMNM motif as well as via the C-terminal PXXP motif (22, 35). The PXXP motif also binds and regulates Src family kinases (SFKs) (21, 47), and knock-in mice mutated in this motif were recently reported to have impaired IL-2 secretion (16).Ligation of the TCR induces cyclic AMP (cAMP) production (27). However, the significance of this observation is still not fully understood, as it is well established that cAMP potently inhibits T-cell function and proliferation (2, 45, 46, 50). The spatiotemporal dynamics of the activation-induced cAMP gradient also are not completely appreciated. We have previously shown that cAMP is rapidly produced in lipid rafts following engagement of the TCR in primary T cells (3). This activates a pool of PKA type I targeted to rafts by association with the anchoring protein Ezrin, forming part of a supramolecular complex where Ezrin, EBP50, and PAG provide a scaffold that is able to coordinate PKA phosphorylation and activation of Csk, thereby inhibiting T-cell activation (44, 50). In addition, we have demonstrated that CD3/CD28 costimulation leads to recruitment of type 4 phosphodiesterase (PDE4) isoforms to rafts, resulting in degradation of the TCR-induced cAMP pool (3). Thus, we envisage that TCR-induced cAMP production constitutes a negative feedback loop capable of abrogating T-cell activation in the absence of a second signal. In order then to allow full T-cell activation to proceed, cAMP-mediated inhibition must be lifted. This appears to occur in the presence of a costimulus involving CD28 acting to trigger recruitment of PDE4 to lipid rafts, thereby degrading cAMP at this spatially critical location and resulting in an overriding positive feed-forward signal rather than the negative feedback loop activated from the TCR. In addition, a recent publication by Conche et al. has also found a possible stimulatory effect of cAMP, as the paper surprisingly showed that a transient cAMP increase shortly after TCR triggering may potentiate the calcium component of the TCR signaling. This could constitute a positive feed-forward in addition to the negative feedback signal by cAMP (12).Spatial organization and recruitment of mediators of specific pathways as outlined above are essential to ensure signaling specificity and amplification. Among the many protein scaffolds linking effector molecules into linear pathways, β-arrestins have been reported to confer cross talk with a growing list of molecules important in cellular trafficking and signal transduction, including Src family members and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (reviewed in reference 14). The arrestins were first identified as having a role in desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) (9); later, they were discovered to be involved in receptor internalization by interacting with clathrin and AP-2, thereby bringing activated receptors to clathrin-coated pits for endocytosis (19, 26). A role for β-arrestin in the spatially localized degradation of cAMP by scaffolding PDE4 isoforms to the proximity of cAMP generation at the plasma membrane has also been suggested (3, 7, 30, 38).In the present study, we uncover a novel pathway that defines how T-cell costimulation elicits recruitment of PDE4 to lipid rafts to overcome cAMP-mediated inhibition of T-cell activation. This pathway is initiated by CD28 engagement leading to PI3K activation and phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3) production and resulting in recruitment of a supramolecular complex of PKB/β-arrestin/PDE4 targeted to the plasma membrane due to sequestration via the PKB plextrin homology (PH) domain. Functionally, this pathway is essential for CD28 costimulation to strengthen and sustain T-cell immune responses.  相似文献

Species abundance distributions (SADs) follow one of ecology's oldest and most universal laws – every community shows a hollow curve or hyperbolic shape on a histogram with many rare species and just a few common species. Here, we review theoretical, empirical and statistical developments in the study of SADs. Several key points emerge. (i) Literally dozens of models have been proposed to explain the hollow curve. Unfortunately, very few models are ever rejected, primarily because few theories make any predictions beyond the hollow-curve SAD itself. (ii) Interesting work has been performed both empirically and theoretically, which goes beyond the hollow-curve prediction to provide a rich variety of information about how SADs behave. These include the study of SADs along environmental gradients and theories that integrate SADs with other biodiversity patterns. Central to this body of work is an effort to move beyond treating the SAD in isolation and to integrate the SAD into its ecological context to enable making many predictions. (iii) Moving forward will entail understanding how sampling and scale affect SADs and developing statistical tools for describing and comparing SADs. We are optimistic that SADs can provide significant insights into basic and applied ecological science.  相似文献

Chromatin structure and gene expression are regulated by posttranslational modifications (PTMs) on the N-terminal tails of histones. Mono-, di-, or trimethylation of lysine residues by histone lysine methyltransferases (HKMTases) can have activating or repressive functions depending on the position and context of the modified lysine. In Arabidopsis, trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3) is mainly associated with euchromatin and transcribed genes, although low levels of this mark are also detected at transposons and repeat sequences. Besides the evolutionarily conserved SET domain which is responsible for enzyme activity, most HKMTases also contain additional domains which enable them to respond to other PTMs or cellular signals. Here we show that the N-terminal WIYLD domain of the Arabidopsis SUVR4 HKMTase binds ubiquitin and that the SUVR4 product specificity shifts from di- to trimethylation in the presence of free ubiquitin, enabling conversion of H3K9me1 to H3K9me3 in vitro. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and immunocytological analysis showed that SUVR4 in vivo specifically converts H3K9me1 to H3K9me3 at transposons and pseudogenes and has a locus-specific repressive effect on the expression of such elements. Bisulfite sequencing indicates that this repression involves both DNA methylation-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Transcribed genes with high endogenous levels of H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H2Bub1, but low H3K9me1, are generally unaffected by SUVR4 activity. Our results imply that SUVR4 is involved in the epigenetic defense mechanism by trimethylating H3K9 to suppress potentially harmful transposon activity.  相似文献

The success of antipsychotic drug treatment in patients with schizophrenia is limited by the propensity of these drugs to induce hyperphagia, weight gain and other metabolic disturbances, particularly evident for olanzapine and clozapine. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in antipsychotic-induced hyperphagia remain unclear. Here, we investigate the effect of olanzapine administration on the regulation of hypothalamic mechanisms controlling food intake, namely neuropeptide expression and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation in rats. Our results show that subchronic exposure to olanzapine upregulates neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti related protein (AgRP) and downregulates proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC). This effect was evident both in rats fed ad libitum and in pair-fed rats. Of note, despite weight gain and increased expression of orexigenic neuropeptides, subchronic administration of olanzapine decreased AMPK phosphorylation levels. This reduction in AMPK was not observed after acute administration of either olanzapine or clozapine. Overall, our data suggest that olanzapine-induced hyperphagia is mediated through appropriate changes in hypothalamic neuropeptides, and that this effect does not require concomitant AMPK activation. Our data shed new light on the hypothalamic mechanism underlying antipsychotic-induced hyperphagia and weight gain, and provide the basis for alternative targets to control energy balance.  相似文献
