PGRP-S (Tag7) is an innate immunity protein involved in the antimicrobial defense systems, both in insects and in mammals. We have previously shown that Tag7 specifically interacts with several proteins, including Hsp70 and the calcium binding protein S100A4 (Mts1), providing a number of novel cellular functions. Here we show that Tag7–Mts1 complex causes chemotactic migration of lymphocytes, with NK cells being a preferred target. Cells of either innate immunity (neutrophils and monocytes) or acquired immunity (CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes) can produce this complex, which confirms the close connection between components of the 2 branches of immune response. 相似文献

Identification of protease 3.4.24.11 as the major atrial natriuretic factor degrading enzyme in the rat kidney 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

We have identified a metalloendoprotease from rat kidney cortex that cleaves the cysteine-phenylalanine bond (Cys7-Phe8) within the 17 amino acid ring structure of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Cleavage at this site represents the major ANF degradative activity in rat kidney, and is inhibited by the known metalloendoprotease inhibitors, thiorphan, phosphoramidon and zincov with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. Since these are specific inhibitors of protease 3.4.24.11, both protease 3.4.24.11 and ANF degrading activities were monitored during purification. Both activities copurified at each chromatographic step. Furthermore, purified protease 3.4.24.11 cleaved ANF specifically at the Cys7-Phe8 bond. It is concluded from this work that the major ANF degrading enzyme in rat kidney is protease 3.4.24.11. 相似文献

Two distinct families of small molecules were discovered as novel α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonists by pharmacophore-based virtual screening. These novel antagonists exhibited selectivity for the neuronal α7 subtype over other nAChRs and good brain penetration. Neuroprotection was demonstrated by representative compounds 7i and 8 in a mouse seizure-like behavior model induced by the nerve agent diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP). These novel nAChR antagonists have potential use as antidote for organophosphorus nerve agent intoxication. 相似文献

Background
Elucidation of the communal behavior of microbes in mixed species biofilms may have a major impact on understanding infectious diseases and for the therapeutics. Although, the structure and the properties of monospecies biofilms and their role in disease have been extensively studied during the last decade, the interactions within mixed biofilms consisting of bacteria and fungi such as Candida spp. have not been illustrated in depth. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the interspecies interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and six different species of Candida comprising C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. dubliniensis in dual species biofilm development. 相似文献6.

Background
In honeybees, differential feeding of female larvae promotes the occurrence of two different phenotypes, a queen and a worker, from identical genotypes, through incremental alterations, which affect general growth, and character state alterations that result in the presence or absence of specific structures. Although previous studies revealed a link between incremental alterations and differential expression of physiometabolic genes, the molecular changes accompanying character state alterations remain unknown. 相似文献7.

Background
To help conservation programs of the endangered spur-thighed tortoise and to gain better insight into its systematics, genetic variation and evolution in the tortoise species Testudo graeca (Testudines: Testudinidae) was investigated by sequence analysis of a 394-nucleotide fragment of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene for 158 tortoise specimens belonging to the subspecies Testudo graeca graeca, Testudo graeca ibera, Testudo graeca terrestris, and a newly recognized subspecies Testudo graeca whitei. A 411-nucleotide fragment of the mitochondrial D-loop was additionally sequenced for a subset of 22 T. graeca, chosen because of their 12S gene haplotype and/or geographical origin. 相似文献8.

Guanyl nucleotides affected the binding of radiolabeled cholecystokinin (CCK) octapeptide to rodent cortical binding sites. Micromolar quantities of a stable GTP analogue, guanylyl-imidodiphosphate (GppNp), resulted in a plateau where binding was decreased by 30%. In the presence of 25 microM GppNp, binding analysis revealed a decrease in affinity (increase in KD), without an apparent effect on the maximal number of binding sites. Ki values for CCK-related peptides shifted up to 1.6-fold. The rate of peptide association decreased by threefold, and the rapid component of peptide dissociation increased. The collective data suggest that a class of central CCK binding sites is linked to nucleotide regulatory proteins. The evidence is discussed with regard to multiple receptor populations and to possible interconversions between receptor types. 相似文献
