Summary The distribution of two seed proteins, namely conglutin and a legumin-like globulin, in developing and mature seeds ofLupinus albus L. has been examined by immunocytochemistry and the concomitant modifications of their constituent polypeptides followed by SDS-PAGE. Both proteins were found within vacuolar protein bodies in various tissues of the cotyledons, although with some differences in the distribution patterns. The legumin-like protein was found to be deposited within the large storage parenchyma cells of the cotyledons in a manner similar to that reported for other storage proteins; little or no immunolabelling was associated with the cotyledonary epidermal and vascular parenchyma cells. In contrast conglutin was present in all cell types.A precursor of the legumin-like protein accumulated transiently in the developing cotyledon, but was subsequently modified by proteolytic cleavage. The onset of such modification was concomitant with a transition in the predominant vacuolar forms within the storage parenchyma cells. No precursor molecules of conglutin have been detected in this study, thus indicating that this protein is deposited in the protein bodies in its mature form.Abbreviations LM

Summary Polyclonal antibodies directed against polypeptide epitopes of conglutin , a glycosylated lectin in lupin seed, have been used to identify and quantify this protein in root extracts of germinating lupins. The highest conglutin content was found in protein extracts of root elongation zones after 5 to 7 days germination. Root conglutin showed the same subunit composition, glycosylation pattern, isoelectric point, and lectin activity as the cotyledonary one. Immunolocalization experiments on root thin sections demonstrated that conglutin is chiefly present in the intercellular spaces of the cortical parenchyma, where it forms large aggregates. Labelling of the Golgi complexes and the area between the plasmalemma and cell wall revealed the conglutin pathway from post-synthetic processing to excretion via the secretory system.Abbreviations EDTA

Lung carbon monoxide (CO) transfer and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) at high altitudes have been reported as being higher in native highlanders compared to acclimatised lowlanders but large discrepancies appears between the studies. This finding raises the question of whether hypoxia induces pulmonary angiogenesis.Eighteen highlanders living in Bolivia and 16 European lowlander volunteers were studied. The latter were studied both at sea level and after acclimatisation to high altitude. Membrane conductance (DmCO) and Vc, corrected for the haemoglobin concentration (Vccor), were calculated using the NO/CO transfer technique. Pulmonary arterial pressure and left atrial pressures were estimated using echocardiography.Highlanders exhibited significantly higher NO and CO transfer than acclimatised lowlanders, with Vccor/VA and DmCO/VA being 49 and 17% greater (VA: alveolar volume) in highlanders, respectively. In acclimatised lowlanders, DmCO and DmCO/VA values were lower at high altitudes than at sea level. Echocardiographic estimates of cardiac output and pulmonary arterial pressure were significantly elevated at high altitudes as compared to sea level.The decrease in DmCO in lowlanders might be due to altered gas transport in the airways due to the low density of air at high altitudes. The disproportionate increase in Vc in Andeans compared to the change in DmCO suggests that the recruitment of capillaries is associated with a thickening of the blood capillary sheet. Since there was no correlation between the increase in Vc and the slight alterations in haemodynamics, this data suggests that chronic hypoxia might stimulate pulmonary angiogenesis in Andeans who live at high altitudes. 相似文献

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis and improved therapies are needed. Expression of EphA2 is increased in NSCLC metastases. In this study, we investigated EphA2 mutations in NSCLC and examined molecular pathways involved in NSCLC. Tumor and cell line DNA was sequenced. One EphA2 mutation was modeled by expression in BEAS2B cells, and functional and biochemical studies were conducted. A G391R mutation was detected in H2170 and 2/28 squamous cell carcinoma patient samples. EphA2 G391R caused constitutive activation of EphA2 with increased phosphorylation of Src, cortactin, and p130Cas. Wild-type (WT) and G391R cells had 20 and 40% increased invasiveness; this was attenuated with knockdown of Src, cortactin, or p130Cas. WT and G391R cells demonstrated a 70% increase in focal adhesion area. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) phosphorylation was increased in G391R cells with increased survival (55%) compared with WT (30%) and had increased sensitivity to rapamycin. A recurrent EphA2 mutation is present in lung squamous cell carcinoma and increases tumor invasion and survival through activation of focal adhesions and actin cytoskeletal regulatory proteins as well as mTOR. Further study of EphA2 as a therapeutic target is warranted. 相似文献

The disordered phases of LiCB11H12 and NaCB11H12 possess superb superionic conductivities that make them suitable as solid electrolytes. In these materials, cation diffusion correlates with high orientational mobilities of the CB11H12? anions; however, the precise relationship has yet to be demonstrated. In this work, ab initio molecular dynamics and quasielastic neutron scattering are combined to probe anion reorientations and their mechanistic connection to cation mobility over a range of timescales and temperatures. It is found that anions do not rotate freely, but rather transition rapidly between orientations defined by the cation sublattice symmetry. The symmetry‐breaking carbon atom in CB11H12? also plays a critical role by perturbing the energy landscape along the instantaneous orientation of the anion dipole, which couples fluctuations in the cation probability density directly to the anion motion. Anion reorientation rates exceed 3 × 1010 s?1, suggesting the underlying energy landscape fluctuates dynamically on diffusion‐relevant timescales. Furthermore, carbon is found to modify the orientational preferences of the anions and aid rotational mobility, creating additional symmetry incompatibilities that inhibit ordering. The results suggest that synergy between the anion reorientational dynamics and the carbon‐modified cation–anion interaction accounts for the higher ionic conductivity in CB11H12? salts compared with B12H122?. 相似文献

Chitosan antitranspirant activity is due to abscisic acid-dependent stomatal closure 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Chitosan (CHT) is a natural compound able to activate the plant own defence machinery against pathogen attacks and to reduce both transpiration and stomatal opening when applied as foliar spray. The data here reported show that CHT-induced antitranspirant activity in bean plants is mediated by ABA, whose level raised over threefold in treated leaves, 24 h after foliar spraying. This is thought to induce partial stomatal closure via a H2O2-mediated process, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histo-cytochemistry, and, in turn, a decrease of stomatal conductance to water vapor (Gw) and transpiration rate (E), assessed by gas exchange measurements. The relatively high internal CO2 concentration (Ci) values, suggest the occurrence of a slight decrease in carboxylation efficiency after CHT treatment, which however did not prevail over stomatal limitations. The intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) of CHT treated plants was not statistically different from controls and the maximal photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) of PSII was not affected. Moreover, CHT determined a stimulation of the xanthophyll cycle towards de-epoxidation state. On the whole, these results, besides confirming the effectiveness of CHT in reducing plant transpiration, prove that the mechanism underlying this activity differs from that showed by the commercial antitranspirant Vapor Gard® (VP). In fact, the efficacy of the latter is based on the formation of a thin antitranspirant film over the leaf and not on the reduction of stomatal opening. Finally, suggestions for possible use of the two antitranspirants in different environmental conditions are discussed. 相似文献

Hypoxia impairs metabolic functions by decreasing activity and expression of ATP-consuming processes. To separate hypoxia from systemic effects, we tested whether hypoxia at high altitude affects basal and PMA-stimulated leukocyte metabolism and how this compares to acute (15 min) and 24 h of in vitro hypoxia. Leukocytes were prepared at low altitude and ~24 h after arrival at 4559 m. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption (JO?) was measured by respirometry, oxygen radicals by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, both at a Po? = 100 mmHg (JO?,???) and 20 mmHg (JO?,??). Acute hypoxia of leukocytes decreased JO? at low altitude. Exposure to high altitude decreased JO?,???, whereas JO?,?? was not affected. Acute hypoxia of low-altitude samples decreased the activity of complexes I, II, and III. At high altitude, activity of complexes I and III were decreased when measured in normoxia. Stimulation of leukocytes with PMA increased JO?,??? at low (twofold) and high altitude (five-fold). At both locations, PMA-stimulated JO? was decreased by acute hypoxia. Basal and PMA-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were unchanged at high altitude. Separate in vitro experiments performed at low altitude show that ~75% of PMA-induced increase in JO? was due to increased extra-mitochondrial JO? (JO?(,res); in the presence of rotenone and antimycin A). JO?(,res) was doubled by PMA. Acute hypoxia decreased basal JO?(,res) by ~70% and PMA-stimulated JO?(,res) by about 50% in cells cultured in normoxia and hypoxia (1.5% O?; 24 h). Conversely, 24 h in vitro hypoxia decreased mitochondrial JO?,??? and JO?,??, extra-mitochondrial, basal, and PMA-stimulated JO? were not affected. These results show that 24 h of high altitude but not 24 h in vitro hypoxia decreased basal leukocyte metabolism, whereas PMA-induced JO? and ROS formation were not affected, indicating that prolonged high-altitude hypoxia impairs mitochondrial metabolism but does not impair respiratory burst. In contrast, acute hypoxia impairs respiratory burst at either altitude. 相似文献
