The effect of lincocin (a plastid protein synthesis inhibitor) treatment on the greening process of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) leaves have been studied. In comparison with control leaves treated ones had a decreased rate of chloroplast development. They had a marked chlorophyll deficiency and a decreased chlorophyll a/b ratio. Some long and short wavelength forms of chlorophyll a were lacking as evidenced from the absorption spectra at 25°C and the fluorescence spectra at 77°K. The –14CO2 fixation was inhibited by 80–90% in treated leaves. The fluorescence induced by the measuring light was greater in the treated leaves than in the control ones, and the kinetics of the decline of the relative fluorescence intensity were also different. Electron microscopic studies showed macrogranum-like structures and incomplete membrane vesicles in the treated plastids. After longer treatment a destruction of membranes was observed. The results indicate some structural and functional membrane deficiencies and instability of the membranes. 相似文献

Summary The larval development of the ophiocomid ophiuroid Ophiomastix venosais described using SEM. The gastrula transforms into a uniformly ciliated early larva which progressively changes into a lecithotrophic late premetamorphic larva with a continuous bilateral ciliated band. This stage is short-lived and equivalent to a highly reduced ophiopluteus. Comparisons between O. venosa and other ophiuroid species whose development has been investigated suggest that, whatever the developmental mode (lecithotrophic or planktotrophic), a pluteus stage always occurs in ophiuroids with planktonic development. Two metamorphic stages were identified, the late metamorphic larva differing from the early one by the closure of the larval mouth. The appearance of the permanent mouth marks the end of the metamorphosis. The postlarva still possesses remnants of larval features. The transformation of the reduced ophiopluteus into a barrel-shaped metamorphic larva with transverse ciliated bands, a vitellaria larva, is followed. The possible occurrence of a unique type of metamorphic larva in non-brooding ophiuroids is discussed. Verification of this, however, needs further SEM investigations on metamorphic larva from species having “regular” planktotrophic development. 相似文献

The hexameric inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) is irreversibly inactivated by phosphoric acid monoesters. The inactivation kinetics are consistent with the formation of a dissociable complex of the phosphoric acid monoester with the enzyme, followed by phosphorylation of the dicarboxylic amino acid of its active site. PPi and its analogues, binding at the regulatory site, release the inhibitor from the active site and thus restore PPase activity. Chemically identical subunits in the hexameric PPase interact, promoting their cooperativity in a reaction with phosphoric acid monoesters. The trimeric and monomeric PPase, exhibiting full catalytic activity, form a dissociable complex with the phosphoric acid monoesters but, in contrast to the hexameric PPase, do not form a covalent bond with them. This indicates that the native hexameric structure is essential for the irreversible inactivation of Escherichia coli PPase by phosphoric acid monoesters. Possible nontraditional pathways for activity regulation of PPase are discussed. 相似文献

Escherichia coli inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) is a hexamer of identical subunits. This work shows that trimeric form of PPase exhibits the interaction of the active sites in catalysis. Some trimer subunits demonstrate high substrate binding affinity typical for hexamer whereas the rest of subunits reveal more than 300-fold substrate affinity decrease. This fact indicates the appearance of negative cooperativity of trimer subunits upon substrate binding. Association of the wild-type (WT) trimer with catalytically inactive, but still substrate binding mutant trimer into hexameric chimera restores the high activity of the first trimer, characteristic of trimer incorporated in the hexamer of WT PPase. Interaction of PPase active sites suggests that there are pathways for information transmission between the active sites, providing the perfect organization and concerted functioning of the hexameric active sites in catalysis. 相似文献

Acceptor specificity of the human leukocyte alpha3 fucosyltransferase: role of FucT-VII in the generation of selectin ligands 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

The alpha3 fucosyltransferase, FucT-VII, is one of the key
glycosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of the sialyl Lewis X
(sLex) antigen on human leukocytes. The sialyl Lewis X antigen
(NeuAcalpha(2-3)Galbeta(1-4)[Fucalpha(1-3)]GlcNAc-R) is an essential
component of the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation,
mediating the primary interaction between circulating leukocytes and
activated endothelium. In order to characterize the enzymatic properties of
the leukocyte alpha3 fucosyltransferase FucT-VII, the enzyme has been
expressed in Trichoplusia ni insect cells. The enzyme is capable of
synthesizing both sLexand sialyl-dimeric-Lexstructures in vitro , from
3'-sialyl-lacNAc and VIM-2 structures, respectively, with only low levels
of fucose transfer observed to neutral or 3'-sulfated acceptors. Studies
using fucosylated NeuAcalpha(2-3)-(Galbeta(1- 4)GlcNAc)3-Me acceptors
demonstrate that FucT-VII is able to synthesize both di-fucosylated and
tri-fucosylated structures from mono- fucosylated precursors, but
preferentially fucosylates the distal GlcNAc within a polylactosamine
chain. Furthermore, the rate of fucosylation of the internal GlcNAc
residues is reduced once fucose has been added to the distal GlcNAc. These
results indicate that FucT-VII is capable of generating complex selectin
ligands, in vitro , however the order of fucose addition to the lactosamine
chain affects the rate of selectin ligand synthesis.
