Summary Microsomal and soluble fractions of Pleurotus pulmonarius exhibited a reduced carbon monoxide difference spectrum with P450 maxima at 448nm and 450–452nm respectively. Substrate induced Type I spectra were observed on addition of benzo(a)pyrene to both fractions. Benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylation was measured using the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase assay and was observed to be P450 dependent as indicated by carbon monoxide inhibition together with the substrate binding characteristics. The activity of the fractions were observed to give Km of 200mM and 660mM and Vmax of 1.25 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 0.57 nmol/min/nmol P450 for the microsomal and cytosolic fractions respectively. 相似文献

We surveyed nine diallelic polymorphic sites on the Y chromosomes of 1,544
individuals from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the New World.
Phylogenetic analyses of these nine sites resulted in a tree for 10
distinct Y haplotypes with a coalescence time of approximately 150,000
years. The 10 haplotypes were unevenly distributed among human populations:
5 were restricted to a particular continent, 2 were shared between Africa
and Europe, 1 was present only in the Old World, and 2 were found in all
geographic regions surveyed. The ancestral haplotype was limited to African
populations. Random permutation procedures revealed statistically
significant patterns of geographical structuring of this paternal genetic
variation. The results of a nested cladistic analysis indicated that these
geographical associations arose through a combination of processes,
including restricted, recurrent gene flow (isolation by distance) and range
expansions. We inferred that one of the oldest events in the nested
cladistic analysis was a range expansion out of Africa which resulted in
the complete replacement of Y chromosomes throughout the Old World, a
finding consistent with many versions of the Out of Africa Replacement
Model. A second and more recent range expansion brought Asian Y chromosomes
back to Africa without replacing the indigenous African male gene pool.
Thus, the previously observed high levels of Y chromosomal genetic
diversity in Africa may be due in part to bidirectional population
movements. Finally, a comparison of our results with those from nested
cladistic analyses of human mtDNA and beta-globin data revealed different
patterns of inferences for males and females concerning the relative roles
of population history (range expansions) and population structure
(recurrent gene flow), thereby adding a new sex-specific component to
models of human evolution.

Various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been investigated regarding association with gene expression levels or
human diseases. Although different SNPs within one gene are frequently analyzed individually, it is highly probable that in
the majority of the cases, a precise combination of SNP alleles, i.e., haplotype, determines a functional trait. Methods commonly
used for haplotype determination, involving studies in families, cloning, or somatic cell hybrids, are expensive and time-consuming.
We herein suggest a novel and simple strategy for haplotype determination, involving selective haplotype depletion with a
restriction enzyme, followed by sequencing. We studied 11 LTA gene polymorphisms in 102 Brazilian individuals, and we applied this novel methodology for haplotyping 67 out of 70 LTA heterozygous individuals. We concluded that the method is rapid and efficient, and, as it includes only simple and widespread-used
techniques, it could be used in most of the laboratories without further investment in equipments. The wider usage of haplotyping
could be important to clarify contradictory results frequently observed among studies that focus on a single SNP.

Background
Vitamin D is associated with lung function in cross-sectional studies, and vitamin D inadequacy is hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Further data are needed to clarify the relation between vitamin D status, genetic variation in vitamin D metabolic genes, and cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in lung function in healthy adults.Methods
We estimated the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and cross-sectional forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) in Framingham Heart Study (FHS) Offspring and Third Generation participants and the association between serum 25(OH)D and longitudinal change in FEV1 in Third Generation participants using linear mixed-effects models. Using a gene-based approach, we investigated the association between 241 SNPs in 6 select vitamin D metabolic genes in relation to longitudinal change in FEV1 in Offspring participants and pursued replication of these findings in a meta-analyzed set of 4 independent cohorts.Results
We found a positive cross-sectional association between 25(OH)D and FEV1 in FHS Offspring and Third Generation participants (P = 0.004). There was little or no association between 25(OH)D and longitudinal change in FEV1 in Third Generation participants (P = 0.97). In Offspring participants, the CYP2R1 gene, hypothesized to influence usual serum 25(OH)D status, was associated with longitudinal change in FEV1 (gene-based P < 0.05). The most significantly associated SNP from CYP2R1 had a consistent direction of association with FEV1 in the meta-analyzed set of replication cohorts, but the association did not reach statistical significance thresholds (P = 0.09).Conclusions
Serum 25(OH)D status was associated with cross-sectional FEV1, but not longitudinal change in FEV1. The inconsistent associations may be driven by differences in the groups studied. CYP2R1 demonstrated a gene-based association with longitudinal change in FEV1 and is a promising candidate gene for further studies.Electronic supplementary material

Tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii were located inside the nucleus of both skeletal muscle cells infected in vitro and peritoneal exudate cells collected from infected mouse in vivo. Ultrastructural analysis demonstrated that T. gondii invades the nucleus of host cells by the parasite apical region and with constriction of its body. We noted that the rhoptry, a secretory organelle of the parasite that is involved in the host cell invasion mechanism, was empty in the intranuclear T. gondii. The parasites were found in the nuclear matrix without evidence of the vacuolar membrane. Frequently, new parasites invaded host cell nucleus, which was already infected. The significance of this nuclear invasion could reflect an alternative route of T. gondii for its transitory survival or an escape mechanism from the host immune response during the in vivo infection (or both). 相似文献

Partial oxidative protection by enzymatic and non-enzymatic components in cashew leaves under high salinity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The work evaluated the role of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in cashew (Anacardium occidentale) leaves under 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl. Salt stress increased protein oxidation and decreased the lipid peroxidation,
indicating that lipids are less susceptible to oxidative damage. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was not changed,
ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity steadily decreased while the catalase (CAT) activity strongly increased with the increasing
NaCl concentration. High salinity also induced alterations in the ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) redox state. The salt
resistance in cashew may be associated with maintaining of SOD activity and upregulation of CAT activity in concert with the
AsA and GSH antioxidants. 相似文献

Na+ accumulation was investigated in the roots of 11-d-old cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] plants. The relative contribution of different membrane transporters on Na+ uptake was estimated by applying Ca2+, K+, NH4
+, and pharmacological inhibitors. Na+ accumulation into the root symplast was decreased by half in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+ and it was almost abolished by 100 mM K+. The inhibitory effect of external NH4+ on Na+ accumulation was more pronounced in the roots of NH4
+-free growing plants. Na+ accumulation was reduced about 73 % by 0.1 mM flufenamate and it was almost blocked by 2 mM quinine. In addition, 20 mM tetraethylammonium
and 1.0 mM Cs+ decreased Na+ accumulation by 28 and 30 %, respectively. These results evidenced that low-affinity Na+ uptake by cowpea roots depends on Ca2+-sensitive and Ca2+-insensitive pathways. The Ca2+-sensitive pathway is probably mediated by nonselective cation channels and the Ca2+-insensitive one may involve K+ channels and to a lesser extent NH4
+-sensitive K+ transporters. 相似文献
