—The cultivation conditions of wild-type strain V-10 and mutant strain M-l (overproducer of endonuclease and chitinase) ofSerratia marcescens optimal for extracellular lipase biosynthesis were determined. The strain V-10 displayed the maximum lipase yield (840 AU/ml)
after 10–12 h of cultivation; the strain M-l (330 AU/ml), after 25–30 h. The data showed that extracellular lipases from V-10
and M-1 can be precipitated in a weakly acidic medium (pH 5.0 and 4.5, respectively). This property was used to obtain partially
purified lipase preparations. The effect of the ionic composition of the reaction mixture on the activities of these enzymatic
preparations was studied. Both preparations displayed the highest activities in weakly alkaline media (pH 8.0); however, the
wild-type strain lipase displayed higher thermal stability and stability at alkaline pH compared with M-1 lipase. Both lipases
were activated by various anionic and nonionic surfactants and were inactive in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. 相似文献

Background
The bacterial biothreat agents Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei are the cause of glanders and melioidosis, respectively. Genomic and epidemiological studies have shown that B. mallei is a recently emerged, host restricted clone of B. pseudomallei. 相似文献3.

Introduction
Positron Emission Tomography - Computer Tomography (PET-CT) is an interesting imaging technique to visualize Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) activity using specific PET tracers. Previous studies have shown that the PET tracers [18F]FDG and [11C](R)PK11195 can target inflammation (synovitis) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and may therefore be useful in AS. Another interesting tracer for AS is [18F]Fluoride, which targets bone formation. In a pilot setting, the potential of PET-CT in imaging AS activity was tested using different tracers, with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and conventional radiographs as reference.Methods
In a stepwise approach different PET tracers were investigated. First, whole body [18F]FDG and [11C](R)PK11195 PET-CT scans were obtained of ten AS patients fulfilling the modified New York criteria. According to the BASDAI five of these patients had low and five had high disease activity. Secondly, an extra PET-CT scan using [18F]Fluoride was made of two additional AS patients with high disease activity. MRI scans of the total spine and sacroiliac joints were performed, and conventional radiographs of the total spine and sacroiliac joints were available for all patients. Scans and radiographs were visually scored by two observers blinded for clinical data.Results
No increased [18F]FDG and [11C](R)PK11195 uptake was noticed on PET-CT scans of the first 10 patients. In contrast, MRI demonstrated a total of five bone edema lesions in three out of 10 patients. In the two additional AS patients scanned with [18F]Fluoride PET-CT, [18F]Fluoride depicted 17 regions with increased uptake in both vertebral column and sacroiliac joints. In contrast, [18F]FDG depicted only three lesions, with an uptake of five times lower compared to [18F]Fluoride, and again no [11C](R)PK11195 positive lesions were found. In these two patients, MRI detected nine lesions and six out of nine matched with the anatomical position of [18F]Fluoride uptake. Conventional radiographs showed structural bony changes in 11 out of 17 [18F]Fluoride PET positive lesions.Conclusions
Our PET-CT data suggest that AS activity is reflected by bone activity (formation) rather than inflammation. The results also show the potential value of PET-CT for imaging AS activity using the bone tracer [18F]Fluoride. In contrast to active RA, inflammation tracers [18F]FDG and [11C](R)PK11195 appeared to be less useful for AS imaging. 相似文献4.

Antibodies to mouse liver cytochrome P3-450 (anti-P3-450) and antibodies to rat liver cytochrome P-450d (anti-P-450d-c) inhibit the 0-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin (ER) in liver microsomes of benz(a)pyrene-induced (BP) mice but do not inhibit the 0-deethylase activity in liver microsomes of BP-induced rats. Anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450c inhibit BP-hydroxylation in BP-induced mouse liver microsomes by 20%, but they do not inhibit this reaction at all in BP-induced rat liver microsomes. In a reconstituted monooxygenase system isolated cytochrome P3-450 metabolized 7-ER and BP. In contrast, its homologue, cytochrome P-450d, did not metabolize these substrates. The fraction containing cytochrome P1-450 metabolized 7-ER at a low rate and BP at a rate of 3.6 nmol product/min/nmol cytochrome. Western blot analysis with anti-P-450c + d revealed two bands in SDS-PAGE gels containing BP-induced mouse liver microsomes. The interaction of mouse liver BP-microsomes with anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450d-c was accompanied by the appearance of a single band (cytochrome P3-450). 相似文献

Data on the first examination of the CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 genes' polymorphism in the populations of Tundra Nentsis (Yamalo-Nenetskii Autonomous District) and migrant population of Western Siberia (Novosibirsk oblast and Altaiskii krai) are presented. The frequency of the 2D6*4 mutant allele in Tundra Nentsis, characterized by a two-component Caucasoid and Mongoloid origin, was shown to be intermediate in Caucasoid and Mongoloid populations. The frequencies of the 2D6*4 and 1A1Val* mutant alleles across migrant inhabitants of Western Siberia (Caucasoid populations) were similar to that reported for the Caucasoid populations overall. Distribution of the CYP1A1 genotypes (Ile/Ile, Ile/Val*, and Val*/Val*) in Tundra Nentsis was similar to that found in Mongoloid groups. However, the frequency of the 1A1Val* allele in Tundra Nentsis was 1.5 times higher than that in the Southern Mongoloid populations (Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese). 相似文献

Molecular weights of extracellular chitinases from wild-type B-10 (62, 54, 43, 38, and 21 kDa) and mutant M-1 strains of Serratia marcescens (62, 52, 43, 38, and 21 kDa) were estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the absence of chitin inductors, chitinolytic enzymes were not found in the culture liquid of B-10, while M-10 cells produced the chitinase complex (to 470 pU/cell). Crystalline chitin insignificantly stimulated the synthesis of chitinases with molecular weights of 62, 54, and 21 kDa by B-10 (up to 20 pU/cell), but caused overproduction of all chitinases by the mutant strain (up to 2600 pU/cell). Colloidal chitin induced the production of chitinases by cells of both strains. Two peaks of chitinolytic activity were observed during cultivation of strains B-10 (350 and 450 pU/cell) and M-1 (2200 and 2400 pU/cell). The first peak of cell productivity was associated with biosynthesis of the chitinase complex. The second peak was related to the production of enzymes with molecular weights of 54, 43, 38, and 21 kDa (B-10) or 43, 38, and 21 kDa (M-1). 相似文献

A study was made of the interaction of the negative (−127…−160) and positive (−69…−98)cis-acting elements of the minimal promoter of the cytochrome P4502B2 gene with nuclear proteins of rats injected with phenobarbital
and triphenyldioxane. On evidence of the gel retardation assay, binding of nuclear proteins to the negative element is suppressed,
and that to the positive one is enhanced 6–9 h after injection. Binding to both elements is maximal 18–48 h after injection
and decreases to the control level 72 h after injection. It is assumed that, when derepressed, the negative element acts as
a positive one. Thein vitro binding proved to correlate with changes in theCYP2B1/2 mRNA content. The data obtained with triphenyldioxane testify to the involvement of the proximal promoter in the inducer-dependent
activation of cytochrome P4502B2. 相似文献

BackgroundIn the past decade, several countries have seen gradual replacement of endemic multi-resistant healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with clones that are more susceptible to antibiotic treatment. One example is Singapore, where MRSA ST239, the dominant clone since molecular profiling of MRSA began in the mid-1980s, has been replaced by ST22 isolates belonging to EMRSA-15, a recently emerged pandemic lineage originating from Europe.ResultsWe investigated the population structure of MRSA in Singaporean hospitals spanning three decades, using whole genome sequencing. Applying Bayesian phylogenetic methods we report that prior to the introduction of ST22, the ST239 MRSA population in Singapore originated from multiple introductions from the surrounding region; it was frequently transferred within the healthcare system resulting in a heterogeneous hospital population. Following the introduction of ST22 around the beginning of the millennium, this clone spread rapidly through Singaporean hospitals, supplanting the endemic ST239 population. Coalescent analysis revealed that although the genetic diversity of ST239 initially decreased as ST22 became more dominant, from 2007 onwards the genetic diversity of ST239 began to increase once more, which was not associated with the emergence of a sub-clone of ST239. Comparative genomic analysis of the accessory genome of the extant ST239 population identified that the Arginine Catabolic Mobile Element arose multiple times, thereby introducing genes associated with enhanced skin colonization into this population.ConclusionsOur results clearly demonstrate that, alongside clinical practice and antibiotic usage, competition between clones also has an important role in driving the evolution of nosocomial pathogen populations.

Background
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of hospital-associated infection, but there is growing awareness of the emergence of multidrug-resistant lineages in community settings around the world. One such lineage is ST772-MRSA-V, which has disseminated globally and is increasingly prevalent in India. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of DAR4145, a strain of the ST772-MRSA-V lineage from India, and investigate its genomic characteristics in regards to antibiotic resistance and virulence factors.Results
Sequencing using single-molecule real-time technology resulted in the assembly of a single continuous chromosomal sequence, which was error-corrected, annotated and compared to nine draft genome assemblies of ST772-MRSA-V from Australia, Malaysia and India. We discovered numerous and redundant resistance genes associated with mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and known core genome mutations that explain the highly antibiotic resistant phenotype of DAR4145. Staphylococcal toxins and superantigens, including the leukotoxin Panton-Valentinin Leukocidin, were predominantly associated with genomic islands and the phage φ-IND772PVL. Some of these mobile resistance and virulence factors were variably present in other strains of the ST772-MRSA-V lineage.Conclusions
The genomic characteristics presented here emphasize the contribution of MGEs to the emergence of multidrug-resistant and highly virulent strains of community-associated MRSA. Antibiotic resistance was further augmented by chromosomal mutations and redundancy of resistance genes. The complete genome of DAR4145 provides a valuable resource for future investigations into the global dissemination and phylogeography of ST772-MRSA-V.Electronic supplementary material

The mammalian cellular microenvironment is shaped by soluble factors and structural components, the extracellular matrix, providing physical support, regulating adhesion and signalling. A global, quantitative mass spectrometry strategy, combined with bioinformatics data processing, was developed to assess proteome differences in the microenvironment of primary human fibroblasts. We studied secreted proteins of fibroblasts from normal and pathologically altered skin and their post‐translational modifications. The influence of collagen VII, an important structural component, which is lost in genetic skin fragility, was used as model. Loss of collagen VII had a global impact on the cellular microenvironment and was associated with proteome alterations highly relevant for disease pathogenesis including decrease in basement membrane components, increase in dermal matrix proteins, TGF‐β and metalloproteases, but not higher protease activity. The definition of the proteome of fibroblast microenvironment and its plasticity in health and disease identified novel disease mechanisms and potential targets of intervention. 相似文献
