The ratio of the extracellular to the intracellular activityof carbonic anhydrase (CA) in cells of Chlorella ellipsoideaC-27, adapted to low levels of CO2 for 24 h (low-CO2 cells),was about one to one. Treatment of intact cells with PronaseP inactivated about one-half of the extracellular CA activitywithout affecting photosynthetic activity. The CA activity incell homogenates and in cell-wall ghosts liberated during celldivision was completely inactivated by the same treatment. Pretreatmentwith Glycosidase mix, Chitosanase and Macerozyme enhanced theinactivation of the CA activity in intact cells. These resultssuggest that extracellular CA is evenly distributed throughoutthe whole cell-wall region. The apparent K1/2 for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in low-CO2cells doubled when extracellular CA was inactivated by treatmentwith Pronase P, but the K1/2 obtained was still one-half ofthat in high-CO2 cells. Photosynthetic 14CO2-fixation in low-CO2cells was enhanced by acetazolamide, whereas H14CO3-fixationwas suppressed. The results suggest that CO2 is a dominant substrateutilized by cells and that HCO3 is utilized after conversionto CO2. The present results show that both intracellular andextracellular CA contribute to the increase in affinity forDIC during photosynthesis in low-CO2 cells of Chlorella ellipsoideaC-27.

The dry weight and glucosamine content of the alkali-insoluble"rigid wall" of Chlorella ellipsoidea were measured in synchronouslygrowing and dividing cells. The content of glucosamine, the major component of the rigidwall, was measured by the Elson-Morgan and the ninhydrin reactions.The results revealed, in agreement with previous observations,that the amount of the rigid wall, measured in terms of wholedry weight or glucosamine content, remains almost constant duringthe growing phase and increases only in the reproduction phase.

The release of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6KF1α)_and of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) from cells were investigated using mouse peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) and non-cultured peritoneal macrophages. They were prepared by adhesion to glass dishes and incubated for 1 hr at 37°C in 5% Co2 in air. Both the percentage of spreading macrophages and the release of 6KF1α and TXb2 increased in proportion to the incubation time. 6KF1α and TXB2 were released from the macrophages, not from the non-adherent cells. When PECs were incubated in silicon-coated glass dishes, the spreading of macrophages was hardly detected and lower amounts of 6KF1α and TXB2 were released from these cells compared with cells incubated in non-treated glass dishes. These findings suggest that adhesion with the correlated spreading of macrophages on glass dishes serve as a considerable physical factor for the release of 6KF1α and TXB2. 相似文献

The starch content as well as the rate of photosynthetic starchformation in Chlorella ellipsoidea was studied throughout thecell cycle. The starch level in Chlorella cells rose markedlyduring the growing phase in the light, but it started to decreaseafter about 14 to 16 hr regardless of illumination. The rateof starch synthesis, measured by the level of 14C-incorporationinto starch, increased rapidly in the growing phase until 10hr, and decreased promptly thereafter, even in the light. From these results, it was concluded that both the cellularlevel of starch and the rate of starch synthesis were a functionnot only of the light regime, but also of the stage of celldevelopment.

Thyroglobulin liposome was prepared from egg yolk lecithin, dicetylphosphate, cholesterol and thyroglobulin. The liposomal fraction was separated by Sephadex G-75 column after Pronase treatment. Rate of hydrolysis of liposomal thyroglobulin by lysosomal fraction obtained from thyroid glands was around twice the value of thyroglobulin solution hydrolyzed by the same fraction. This result might suggest that thyroglobulin covered with lipid layer(s) is in a favourable condition for hydrolysis by lysosomes. 相似文献

- 1. The cell wall of Chlorella ellipsoidea was fractionated intotwo components, alkali-soluble hemicellulose and alkali-insoluble"rigid wall". The former was composed of several neutral sugars,i.e. rhamnose, xylose, arabinose, mannose and galactose, andthe latter had glucosamine as a main constituent sugar.
- 2.Quantitative changes in both hemicellulose and "rigid wall"contents during the cell cycle were followed using synchronouslygrown cells. The two cell wall components showed markedly differentchanges. Hemicellulose increased in proportion to the enlargementof the cell surface area in the growing phase, while the "rigidwall" remained almost constant in this phase. The "rigid wall"increased only in the reproduction phasethe time of autosporeformation.

Overexpression and subsequent nuclear accumulation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is involved in neuronal apoptosis induced by several stimuli in which GAPDH antisense oligonucleotides specifically block the increment (2 approximately 3 fold) of GAPDH mRNA contents occurring prior to neuronal death. However, these agents do not affect the basal, constitutive mRNA contents. This suggests that there may be distinct gene regulations for GAPDH mRNA expression. Herein, we cloned two types of promoter regions upstream of this gene; viz., #104 (1.02-kb) and #302 (2.46-kb). These fragments were inserted into the pGL3 luciferase reporter system and transiently transfected into cultured cerebellar neurons undergoing cytosine arabinonucleoside-induced apoptosis. The functional analysis of these constructs revealed that #104, but not #302, increased luciferase activity in response to the apoptotic stimulus. Deletion and replacement mutation analysis of the #104 fragment disclosed the promoter core harbored between the 154-bp and 84-bp domains (3.5-fold activity of the control). Furthermore, anti-dementia drugs (such as Cognex and Aricept) markedly depress the expression of this pro-apoptotic GAPDH promoter activity. Interestingly, immunocytochemical examination of human post-mortem materials from patients with Alzheimer's disease revealed nuclear aggregated GAPDH in neurons of the affected brain regions, implying an association with apoptotic cell death. The current findings indicate that induction of the pro-apoptotic protein GAPDH is genetically regulated at the level of promoter activation, and this protein may be an important molecular target for developing anti-apoptotic therapeutic agents in certain neurological illnesses. 相似文献

The chemical and biological properties of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from a marine bacterium, Photobacterium phosphoreum PJ-1, were studied. This LPS consists of 40.6% carbohydrate, 27.3% fatty acid, 0.2% 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate (KDO) and other components. One characteristic of this LPS is its small amount of KDO, the basic component of the usual LPS. Electrophoresis in sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel revealed at least two staining bands for carbohydrates. These bands were continuous and broad, and showed rapid electrophoretic mobility which corresponded closely to the fastest moving band of LPS from Salmonella typhimurium. This LPS preparation had adjuvant activity, lethality for ddY mice, and the ability to gel Limulus amebocyte lysate, and the strength of these activities corresponded closely to those of LPS preparations from Escherichia coli 0111:B4 and S. typhimurium. In the test for lethality of the LPS for ddY mice, the lethal action appeared in two phases depending on the dose used for intravenous (i.v.) injection : the early lethal action appeared within 30 min after injection of 250 μg or less, and the late lethal action occurred gradually after 16 hr at doses of 500 μg or more. The total (both phases) LD50 of this LPS (i.v.) for ddY mice was 265 μg per mouse and in only the late phase it was 500 μg. These results show that in spite of structual differences in regard to KDO content, LPS from P. phosphoreum PJ-1 has some biological properties similar to those of LPS from E. coli 0111:B4 and S. typhimurium but it shows no immunological cross-reaction with other LPS. 相似文献
