A novel cytochrome c and a catalase-peroxidase with alkaline peroxidase activity were purified from the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. No.13 and characterized. The cytochrome c exhibited absorption maxima at 408 nm (Soret band) in its oxidized state, and 550 (alpha-band), 521 (beta-band), and 415 (Soret band) nm in its reduced state. The native cytochrome c with a relative molecular mass of 15,000 was composed of two identical subunits. The cytochrome c showed over 50 times higher peroxidase activity than those of known c-type cytochromes from various sources. The optimum pH and temperature of the peroxidase activity were about 10.0 and 70 degrees C, respectively. The peroxidase activity is stable in the pH range of 6.0 to 10.8 (30 degrees C, 1-h treatment), and at temperatures up to 80 degrees C (pH 8.5, 20-min treatment). The heme content was determined to be 1 heme per subunit. The amino acid sequence of the cytochrome c showed high homology with those of the c-type cytochromes from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus sp. PS3. The catalase-peroxidase showed high catalase activity and considerable peroxidase activity, the specific activities being 55,000 and 0.94 micromol/min/mg, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature of the peroxidase activity were in the range of 6.4 to 10.1 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The catalase-peroxidase showed a lower K(m) value (0.67 mM) as to H(2)O(2) than known catalase-peroxidases. 相似文献

Background
In biomedical sciences, ex vivo angiography is a practical mean to elucidate vascular structures three-dimensionally with simultaneous estimation of intravascular volume. The objectives of this study were to develop a magnetic resonance (MR) method for ex vivo angiography and to compare the findings with computed tomography (CT). To demonstrate the usefulness of this method, examples are provided from four different tissues and species: the human placenta, a rice field eel, a porcine heart and a turtle. 相似文献4.
Paralogous origin of the red- and green-sensitive visual pigment genes in vertebrates 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The nucleotide sequence of the red-sensitive visual pigment gene, R007Af,
in the fish Astyanax fasciatus, from the initiation codon to the stop codon
of this gene, including introns, is 1,592 bp, making it the shortest visual
pigment gene known in vertebrates. Analysis of this and other homologous
sequence data suggests that vertebrates initially had two duplicate genes
and that each ancestor of Astyanax, human, and chicken independently
duplicated the gene in the process of developing their red-green color
vision. Furthermore, many extant red-green colorblind organisms may be
explained simply by the failure of achieving very specific nucleotide
substitutions at the three codon positions 180, 277, and 285, rather than
by the lack of duplicate loci.

Supramolecular structures of peptide assemblies in membranes by neutron off-plane scattering: method of analysis 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
In a previous paper (Yang et al., Biophys. J. 75:641-645, 1998), we showed a simple, efficient method of recording the diffraction patterns of supramolecular peptide assemblies in membranes where the samples were prepared in the form of oriented multilayers. Here we develop a method of analysis based on the diffraction theory of two-dimensional liquids. Gramicidin was used as a prototype model because its pore structure in membrane in known. At full hydration, the diffraction patterns of alamethicin and magainin are similar to gramicidin except in the scale of q (the momentum transfer of scattering), clearly indicating that both alamethicin and magainin form pores in membranes but of different sizes. When the hydration of the multilayer samples was decreased while the bilayers were still fluid, the in-plane positions of the membrane pores became correlated from one bilayer to the next. We believe that this is a new manifestation of the hydration force. The effect is most prominent in magainin patterns, which are used to demonstrate the method of analysis. When magainin samples were further dehydrated or cooled, the liquid-like diffraction turned into crystal-like patterns. This discovery points to the possibility of investigating the supramolecular structures with high-order diffraction. 相似文献

Bilirubin dehydrogenase, a membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the one-step oxidation of ditaurobilirubin and bilirubin to ditaurobiliverdin and biliverdin, respectively, in the presence of an electron acceptor, was found in Aspergillus ochraceus IB-3, and purified from the membrane fraction through solubilization by Triton X-100. Phenazine and quinone derivatives acted as electron acceptors. Accumulation of ditaurobiliverdin and biliverdin by enzyme catalysis increased the absorbance at 660 nm, which is far from the range of wavelengths affected by serum ingredients. The enzyme selectively oxidized ditaurobilirubin at low pH, so changes in the reaction pH enable the enzyme to discriminate between the bilirubin fractions ditaurobilirubin (an example of conjugated bilirubin) and bilirubin (an example of unconjugated bilirubin). Using the enzyme, 2 to 80 microM of ditaurobilirubin were measured accurately by monitoring the changes in absorbance at 660 nm. 相似文献

Background
POU5F1 expression is required to maintain stem cell pluripotency and for primordial germ cells to retain proliferative capability in embryonic development. Recent evidence suggests that POU5F1 may also be a testicular germ cell carcinoma (TGCC) oncogene, and POU5F1 variation may influence TGCC risk. As an important first step to a genetic association study, we sought to identify all common sequence variants in an 11.3 kb region containing POU5F1, and to describe the linkage disequilibrium patterns, using DNA from individuals of African-descent (AD) and European-descent (ED).Results
A higher number of polymorphisms was observed in the AD (n = 102) versus ED (n = 82) population. Among the 41 observed haplotypes, 21 (51%) and 12 (29%) were unique to the AD and ED populations, respectively, while 8 (20%) were observed in both. The number of tagging polymorphisms necessary to explain at least 80% of common variation (minor allele frequency ≥ 0.10) due to the remaining untyped polymorphisms was 17 for an AD and 10 for an ED population, providing a 4.0- and 7.0-fold gain in genotyping efficiency for characterizing nucleotide variation, respectively.Conclusion
POU5F1 is highly polymorphic, however a smaller subset of polymorphisms can tag the observed genetic variation with little loss of information. 相似文献9.

The light subunit of mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, tyrosinase (LSMT), has been identified as an extrinsic component of the enzyme. Its function is unknown, but it can cross an epithelial cell layer, which suggests that it can be absorbed by the intestine. A similar capability has been demonstrated for the HA-33 component of the progenitor toxin from Clostridium botulinum, which is the closest structural homolog of LSMT. Unlike HA-33, LSMT appears to be non-immunogenic as shown by preliminary tests in Swiss Webster mice. We investigated the immunogenicity and histopathology of LSMT in mice to determine its safety in vivo. LSMT did not evoke generation of antibodies after prolonged periods of intraperitoneal administration. Histopathological observations confirmed the absence of responses in organs after twelve weekly administrations of LSMT. We found that LSMT is not toxic and is less immunogenic than the C. botulinum HA-33 protein, which supports further research and development for pharmaceutical application. 相似文献
