A newly isolated thermophilic bacterial strain from Tunisian thermal source was identified as Bacillus sp. and was selected for its ability to produce extracellular levansucrase. Following the optimization of carbon source, nitrogen source, temperature and initial pH of the growth medium in submerged liquid cultures. In fact, sucrose was found to be a good inducer of levansucrase enzymes. The optimal temperature and pH of the levansucrase were 50°C and 6.5, respectively and its activity increased four folds in the presence of 50mM Fe(2+). This enzyme exhibited a remarkable stability and retained 100% of its original activity at 50°C for more than 1h at pH 6.5. The half-life of the enzyme was 1h at 90°C. Crude enzyme of Bacillus sp. rich in levansucrase was established for the synthesis of fructooligosaccharides and levan. Bacillus sp. could therefore be considered as a satisfactory and promising producer of thermostable levansucrases. Contrary to other levansucrases, the one presented in the current study was able to produce high levels of levan with high molecular weight at 50°C and having an important effect as a hypoglycemic agent which was demonstrated in our previous publications (Dahech et al., 2011 [25]) and as a hypo-cholesterolemic agent which will be investigated in further research. 相似文献

Ostrich pancreatic phospholipase A(2) (OPLA(2)) was purified from delipidated pancreases. Pure protein was obtained after heat treatment (70 degrees C), precipitation by ammonium sulphate and ethanol, respectively followed by sequential column chromatography on MonoQ Sepharose and size exclusion HPLC column. Purified OPLA(2), which is not a glycosylated protein, was found to be monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 13773.93 Da. A specific activity of 840U/mg for purified OPLA(2) was measured at optimal conditions (pH 8.2 and 37 degrees C) in the presence of 4 mM NaTDC and 10 mM CaCl(2) using PC as substrate. This enzyme was also found to be able to hydrolyze, at low surface pressure, 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphocholine (di C(12)-PC) monolayers. Maximal activity was measured at 5-8 mNm(-1). The sequence of the first 22 amino-acid residues at the N-terminal extremity of purified bird PLA(2) was determined by automatic Edman degradation and showed a high sequence homology with known mammal pancreatic secreted phospholipases A(2). 相似文献

We report on the effectiveness of molecular studies regarding Fanconi anemia (FA) for a better selection of bone marrow graft donors and for post-transplant follow up. Ten unrelated FA patients and their families were analyzed by microsatellite markers. In 9 cases, the cytogenetic investigation of potential human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical related donors was normal, and the molecular analyses confirmed that they were also either normal or heterozygous carriers. For 1 patient, cytogenetic analysis of an HLA-identical sibling donor yielded ambiguous results with a relatively high number of chromosomal breakages using cross-linking agents. However, genotyping of this potential donor demonstrated his heterozygous state. Nine patients have received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from HLA-matched related donors. Microsatellite analysis showed complete chimerism (CC) in all cases. The median follow up was 54 months (range 8-144 months). One patient out of 9 with CC rejected her graft without prior detection of a transitional mixed chimerism. Among these patients, 1 died 25 months after the transplantation of a chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). We conclude that, when the cytogenetic studies are not conclusive, molecular analyses are crucial to distinguish heterozygous carriers from asymptomatic FA Tunisian patients. Molecular analyses also allowed the evaluation of hematopoietic chimerism after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and might be of value to identify patients with a high risk for graft rejection. 相似文献

In order to study the association of HLA-A, -B and/or DRB1, DQB1 and the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), 141 patients affected
with NPC were typed for the HLA class I by serology method of microlymphocytotoxicity. Among these patients 101 were genotyped
for HLA class II system by the PCR-SSP technique. HLA typing results were compared to those of 116 controls. We found that
the HLA-A31 and -A33 antigens were significantly more expressed in patients than in the controls (P = 0.016 and 0.010, respectively) and the HLA-A19 antigen, was significantly more frequent in patients when compared to the
controls (P = 0.007). The HLA-DRB1*03 and DRB1*13 alleles were significantly more frequent in patients as compared to the controls. The
DRB1*01 allele was expressed with a frequency of 20.69% in the controls whereas it was only detected in 3.96% of the NPC patients.
Furthermore, the DQB1*05 allele was expressed at a frequency which was significantly less important in affected patient (P = 0.03), whereas, the DQB1*02 allele was more frequent in patients (P = 0.643 × 10−4). Thus our study revealed a significant increase of HLA-A31, A33, A19, B16, B53 and DRB1*03, DRB1*13 and DQB1*02 alleles
in our patients. These markers could play a predisposing role in the development of NPC. In contrast, a decrease of HLA-B14,
-B35 and DRB1*01 and DQB1*05 alleles was found suggesting a likely protective effect. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are endopeptidases that cleave matrix, soluble and membrane-bound proteins and are regulated by their endogenous inhibitors the tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs). MMP-2 and MMP-9 are two of the MMPs which are essential to contribute to inflammatory and degenerative processes in injured nerves. The aim of the present study was to examine expression and activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the injured and control groups frog sciatic nerves using gelatin zymography. Our investigation demonstrated for the first time as far as we know the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in frog sciatic nerve. The expression and activity of MMP-9 were increased two fold on average following ligation. By contrast, MMP-2 activities remained unchanged. These findings suggest that we can consider MMP-9 as a marker for degenerative changes that follow nerve ligation in frog nerve. 相似文献

Summary A genetically modified levansucrase, which contained His-affinity tag in its C-terminal, was constructed by PCR reaction using two synthetic primers. This modified protein was produced up to 30 % in total cell protein of E. coli, and was purified by a one-step affinity chromatography. The optimum pH for levan production was pH 5 and the optimum temperature was 0 °C. The higher velocity of levan formation within shorter enzyme reaction times was achieved by increasing the levels of enzyme concentration. The optimal sucrose concentration for levan production was around 20 %. Under these conditions, more than 50 g levan/l was produced. 相似文献

Allelic structure and distribution of 103 STR loci in a Southern Tunisian population 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Genotypes of 103 short tandem repeat (STR) markers distributed at an average of 40 cM intervals throughout the genome were
determined for 40 individuals from the village of BirEl Hfai (BEH). This village of approximately 31.000 individuals is localized
in the south-west of Tunisia. The allele frequency distributions in BEH were compared with those obtained for individuals
in the CEPH (Centre d’Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) data using a Kolmo-gorov-Smirnov two-sample test. Fourteen out of the
103 markers (13.2%) showed significant differences (P<0.05) in distribution between the two populations. Population heterogeneity in BEH was indicated by an excess of observed
homozygosity deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at 3 loci (P<0.0005). No evidence for genotypic disequilibrium was found for any of the marker pairs. This demonstrated that in spite
of a high inbreeding level in the population, few markers showed evidence for a different pattern of allelic distribution
compared to CEPH. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of a static magnetic field (SMF) on hematopoiesis and biochemical parameters in female rats. Pregnant rats were exposed to SMF (128 mT-1 hour/day from day 6 to day 19 of pregnancy). At 25 degrees C, the exposure of rats 1 hour/day for 13 consecutive days to SMF induced an increase in hematocrit (Ht) level (+6%, p < 0.05), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration (+12%, p < 0.05) and LDH levels (67%, p < 0.05 ), suggesting an hypoxia-like state. Moreover, exposure to SMF increased blood glucose and decreased insulin release, leading to a diabetic-like state in pregnant rats. 相似文献

Three colipases were purified from pancreas of two birds (ostrich and turkey) and one mammal (dromedary). After acidic and/or heat treatment and precipitation by sulfate ammonium and then ethanol, cofactors were purified by Sephadex G-50 gel filtration followed by ion-exchange chromatography first on Mono S and then on Mono Q. One molecular form was obtained from each species with a molecular mass of approximately 10 kDa. Cofactors were not glycosylated. The N-terminal sequences of the three purified cofactors showed high sequence homology. A 90 amino acid sequence of the ostrich cofactor was established based on peptide sequences from four different digests of the denaturated protein using trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin, or staphylococcal protease. This sequence exhibited a high degree of homology with chicken and mammal cofactors. Bile salt-inhibited pancreatic lipases from five species were activated to variable extents by colipases from bird and mammal origins. The bird pancreatic lipase-colipase system appears to be functionally similar to homologous lipolytic systems from higher mammals. Our comparative study showed that mammal colipase presents a lower activation level toward bird lipases than the bird counterpart. Three-dimensional modeling of ostrich colipase suggested a structural explanation of this fact. 相似文献

Dromedary pancreatic PLA2 (DrPLA2) was purified from delipidated pancreases. Pure protein was obtained after heat and acidic treatment (70 degrees C; pH 3.0), precipitation by ammonium sulphate and ethanol respectively, followed by sequential column chromatographies on Sephadex G-50, MonoS Sepharose, MonoQ Sepharose and C-8 reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. Purified DrPLA2, which is not glycosylated protein, was found to be monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 13748.55 Da. A specific activity of 600 U/mg for purified DrPLA2 was measured at optimal conditions (pH 8.0 and 37 degrees C) in the presence of 3 mM NaTDC and 7 mM CaCl(2) using PC as substrate. The sequence of the first fourteen amino-acid residues at the N-terminal extremity of DrPLA2 was determined by automatic Edman degradation. One single sequence was obtained and shows a close similarity with all other known pancreatic secreted phospholipases A2. 相似文献
