Summary
Gonyaulax polyedra was subjected to a cold treatment of 18 h at 10 °C leading to arrhythmicity. Subsequently, the circadian rhythm of bioluminescence was investigated at the permissive temperature of 20 °C. 1-h pulses of 10 M cycloheximide or 2 M anisomycin, when given after the temperature step-up, resulted only in a very weak resetting of the circadian oscillator, in marked contrast to the behaviour of cells kept continuously in oscillatory conditions at 20 °C. The extremely reduced sensitivity to 80 S inhibition was characteristic for the first cycle after the temperature step-up, whereas cells treated with cycloheximide in the second cycle after re-initiation of rhythmicity showed a gradual recovery of resettability, though the phase response curve was still atypical; treatment in the 3rd cycle after step-up led to a relatively normal phase response curve. The observed insensitivity in the 1st cycle was neither a consequence of insufficient drug action, nor of a transient non-oscillatory behaviour after temperature step-up. Already in the first hours after transfer to 20 °C, 80 S translation was strongly suppressed by cycloheximide, and the cells were also efficiently reset by changes of the light-dark zeitgeber. Resettability of the circadian oscillator by 80 S inhibitors is, therefore, conditional.Abbreviations

The present article describes a newly developed device for the quantitative assessment of torsional in vivo stiffness of regenerating bone under callus distraction. Both the design and function of this device, and its use during bony consolidation are discussed. The device exhibited an accuracy of +/- 18% for stiffness under 0.1 Nm/degree, and +/- 5% stiffness above 0.1 Nm/degree. The average accuracy was +/- 14%. The data scatter for the stiffness measurement ranged between +/- 1.43% and +/- 7.68% (average: +/- 3.99%). The precision of a test machine was between +/- 0.01% and +/- 11.3% (average: +/- 3.65%). The method has the following advantages over existing methods for investigating healing: 1. no need to dismantle the external fixation for measurement; 2. preservation of the bone axis with minimal risk of misalignment during the bone healing process; 3. minimal technical requirements, with easy, noninvasive measurement; 4. no exposure to X-radiation. 相似文献

The nervous system and muscle tissue of the leech express two different organ-specific forms of connective tissue protein. The nervous system-specific form appears in regional boundaries separating cell bodies, axonal tracts and areas of the neuropile during late embryogenesis. In contrast, the muscle-specific form appears earlier during development in the basement membrane of muscle cells. In extraction experiments both forms behave like extracellular matrix proteins and because of their molecular weight, are considered members of a group of cell type-specific 130 kD proteins (leech gp130s). How ever, the two forms differ in their posttranslational modification. As determined by Con A and lentil lectin affinity chromatography, only the nervous system-specific, but not the muscle-specific form, has fucosylated and high mannose N-linked carbohydrates. These differences in the developmental onset and glycosylation suggest that nervous system-specific and muscle-specific connective tissue proteins are regulated differently and participate in different molecular interactions. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Background
The statistical modeling of biomedical corpora could yield integrated, coarse-to-fine views of biological phenomena that complement discoveries made from analysis of molecular sequence and profiling data. Here, the potential of such modeling is demonstrated by examining the 5,225 free-text items in the Caenorhabditis Genetic Center (CGC) Bibliography using techniques from statistical information retrieval. Items in the CGC biomedical text corpus were modeled using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model. LDA is a hierarchical Bayesian model which represents a document as a random mixture over latent topics; each topic is characterized by a distribution over words. 相似文献6.

A strategy employing gene trap mutagenesis and site-specific recombination (Cre/loxP) has been used to identify genes that are transiently expressed during early mouse development. Embryonic stem cells expressing a reporter plasmid that codes for neomycin phosphotransferase and Escherichia coli LacZ were infected with a retroviral gene trap vector (U3Cre) carrying coding sequences for Cre recombinase (Cre) in the U3 region. Activation of Cre expression from integrations into active genes resulted in a permanent switching between the two selectable marker genes and consequently the expression of β-galactosidase (β-Gal). As a result, clones in which U3Cre had disrupted genes that were only transiently expressed could be selected. Moreover, U3Cre-activating cells acquired a cell autonomous marker that could be traced to cells and tissues of the developing embryo. Thus, when two of the clones with inducible U3Cre integrations were passaged in the germ line, they generated spatial patterns of β-Gal expression. 相似文献

Estimating the rate of evolution of the rate of molecular evolution 总被引:35,自引:13,他引:22
A simple model for the evolution of the rate of molecular evolution is
presented. With a Bayesian approach, this model can serve as the basis for
estimating dates of important evolutionary events even in the absence of
the assumption of constant rates among evolutionary lineages. The method
can be used in conjunction with any of the widely used models for
nucleotide substitution or amino acid replacement. It is illustrated by
analyzing a data set of rbcL protein sequences.

Plasmodium falciparum, which causes malaria, extensively remodels its human host cells, particularly erythrocytes. Remodelling is essential for parasite survival by helping to avoid host immunity and assisting in the uptake of plasma nutrients to fuel rapid growth. Host cell renovation is carried out by hundreds of parasite effector proteins that are exported into the erythrocyte across an enveloping parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM). The Plasmodium translocon for exported (PTEX) proteins is thought to span the PVM and provide a channel that unfolds and extrudes proteins across the PVM into the erythrocyte. We show that exported reporter proteins containing mouse dihydrofolate reductase domains that inducibly resist unfolding become trapped at the parasite surface partly colocalizing with PTEX. When cargo is trapped, loop‐like extensions appear at the PVM containing both trapped cargo and PTEX protein EXP2, but not additional components HSP101 and PTEX150. Following removal of the block‐inducing compound, export of reporter proteins only partly recovers possibly because much of the trapped cargo is spatially segregated in the loop regions away from PTEX. This suggests that parasites have the means to isolate unfoldable cargo proteins from PTEX‐containing export zones to avert disruption of protein export that would reduce parasite growth. 相似文献

Meningococcal group C (MenC) plain polysaccharide (PS) and conjugate vaccines are primarily evaluated by physicochemical methods to ensure that batches are consistently manufactured. As different assays are employed to quantify the MenC PS content of final formulations and bulk intermediaries, there is a need for an International MenC PS Standard to calibrate internal references used in the different laboratories. Twelve laboratories from nine different countries participated in a collaborative study to determine the MenC PS content of a candidate International Standard MenC PS preparation (08/214) and to assess its suitability. On the basis of the results from this study the candidate standard 08/214 was established as an International Standard for the quantification of MenC PS content in vaccines and components. It has a content of 1.192 ± 0.192 mg MenC PS/ampoule (expanded uncertainty with coverage factor of k = 2.365 corresponding to a 95% level of confidence), as determined by the resorcinol assays carried out by eight of the participating laboratories. The standard is available from The National Institute of Biological Standards and Control who act as guardians and distributors of the material under the auspices of WHO. 相似文献
