A strain of Alcaligenes isolated from soil was a good producer of β-glucuronidase, and the enzyme was purified from the cell-free extract by sequential column chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl, Toyopearl HW-55F, and Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B. By these procedures, two β-glucuronidases designated as β-glucuronidases I and II were purified 240- and 508-fold, respectively. β-Glucuronidase I, with a molecular weight of 75,000, had an optimum pH at 7.5 and the enzyme II, with a molecular weight of 300,000, had maximum activity at pH 6.0. Both enzymes were strongly inhibited by saccharo-1,4-lactone, glucaro-δ-lactam, p-chloromercuribenzoate, Hg2+, and N-bromosuccinimide. β-Glucuronidase I was active toward estrogen-3-β-glucuronides and inert toward β-glucuronide conjugates of menthol, estrogen-17β-, estrogen-16α-, androsterone-3α-, testosterone-17β-, cortisol-17α-. β-Glucuronidase II hydrolyzed all of these substrates. β-Glucuronidase I was inhibited by phenolphthalein and its glucuronide. 相似文献

Steam distilled oil of quince fruit (Cydonia oblonga Mill.=C. vulgaris Pers., marmelo in Japanese) was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sixty-two compounds, 2 hydrocarbons, 13 esters, 11 alcohols, 11 aldehydes, 11 ketones, 5 lactones and 9 miscellaneous compounds, were identified. Of them, the chemical structures of two new oxide compounds, trans- and cis-3-methyl-5-[(E)-3′-methyl-13′-butadien-1′-yl]tetrahydrofuran, were elucidated by instrumental analyses. 相似文献

The most effective electro-energizing fermentation (E-E F) conditions for l-glutamate (l-Glu) production by Brevibacterium flavum No. 2247 were determined. The adding of 0.01 mm neutral red at the beginning of cultivation was found most effective. A 1.5 V direct current was applied to the culture broth at 6~8 hr after inoculation in the cathode compartment, l-Glu was produced at 51.0 mg per ml, and this is about a 15 % increase in yield compared to the yield of the not electro-energizing (E-E) control (44.3 mg/ml). 相似文献

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) enhances ATP-stimulated inositol phosphate (InsP) formation in bovine chromaffin cells through an unknown mechanism. Chromaffin cells were transduced with the carboxyl terminus of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (betaARK1CT), a Gbetagamma subunits scavenger, using a recombinant adenovirus system. The adenovirus also expresses a green fluorescent protein (GFP) which serves as an index of transduction. Flow cytometry showed that up to 80% of chromaffin cells were transduced by the virus. There was a direct correlation between the betaARK1CT inhibition of the NPY enhancement of ATP-stimulated InsP formation and the percent of cells expressing GFP ( r2=0.9993 ). These results demonstrate that Gbetagamma subunits are required for the NPY enhancement of ATP-stimulated InsP formation in bovine chromaffin cells. 相似文献

The maltose phosphorylase (MPase) gene of Bacillus sp. strain RK-1 was cloned by PCR with oligonucleotide primers designed on the basis of a partial N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme. The MPase gene consisted of 2,655 bp encoding a theoretical protein with a Mr of 88,460, and had no secretion signal sequence, although most of the MPase activity was detected in the culture supernatant of RK-1. This cloned MPase gene and the trehalose phosphorylase (TPase) gene from Bacillus stearothermophilus SK-1 were efficiently expressed intracellularly under the control of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase promoter in Bacillus subtilis. The production yields were estimated to be more than 2 g of enzyme per liter of medium, about 250 times the production of the original strains, in a simple shake flask. About 60% of maltose was converted into trehalose by the simultaneous action of both enzymes produced in B. subtilis. 相似文献

Intratumoral injection of dendritic and irradiated glioma cells induces anti-tumor effects in a mouse brain tumor model 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Malignant astrocytoma is the most common primary brain tumor in adults. The median survival of patients with malignant astrocytomas (high-grade astrocytomas) is about 1-2 years, despite aggressive treatment that includes surgical resection, radiotherapy and cytotoxic chemotherapy. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches are needed to prolong survival. We investigated antitumor immunity conferred by the intratumoral injection of dendritic (DC) and irradiated glioma cells (IR-GC) in a mouse brain tumor model. Intratumorally injected DC migrated to the lymph nodes and elicited systemic immunity against autologous glioma cells. In a treatment model, intratumoral injection of DC and IR-GC prolonged the survival of brain tumor-bearing mice. Efficacy was reduced when studies were performed in mice depleted of CD8(+) T cells. Administration of DC or IR-GC alone had no effect on survival of brain tumor-bearing mice. CTL activity against glioma cells from immunized mice was also stimulated by coadministration of DC and IR-GC compared with the controls. These results support the therapeutic efficacy of intratumoral injection of DC and IR-GC. 相似文献

Background
The linkages between neuroinflammation and Alzheimer''s disease (AD) pathogenesis are well established. What is not, however, is how specific immune pathways and proteins affect the disease. To this end, we previously demonstrated that transgenic over-expression of CCL2 enhanced microgliosis and induced diffuse amyloid plaque deposition in Tg2576 mice. This rodent model of AD expresses a Swedish β-amyloid (Aβ) precursor protein mutant.Methodology/Principal Findings
We now report that CCL2 transgene expression accelerates deficits in spatial and working memory and hippocampal synaptic transmission in β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) mice as early as 2–3 months of age. This is followed by increased numbers of microglia that are seen surrounding Aβ oligomers. CCL2 does not suppress Aβ degradation. Rather, CCL2 and tumor necrosis factor-α directly facilitated Aβ uptake, intracellular Aβ oligomerization, and protein secretion.Conclusions/Significance
We posit that CCL2 facilitates Aβ oligomer formation in microglia and propose that such events accelerate memory dysfunction by affecting Aβ seeding in the brain. 相似文献10.

Alzheimer''s disease (AD) is a pervasive neurodegeneration disease with high heritability. In this study, we employed CRISPR‐Cas9‐engineered technology to investigate the effects of a rare mutation (rs144662445) in the A kinase anchoring protein 9 (AKAP9) gene, which is associated with AD in African Americans (AA), on tau pathology and the tau interactome in SH‐SY5Y P301L neuron‐like cells. The mutation significantly increased the level of phosphorylated tau, specifically at the site Ser396/Ser404. Moreover, analyses of the tau interactome measured by affinity purification‐mass spectrometry revealed that differentially expressed tau‐interacting proteins in AKAP9 mutant cells were associated with RNA translation, RNA localization and oxidative activity, recapitulating the tau interactome signature previously reported with human AD brain samples. Importantly, these results were further validated by functional studies showing a significant reduction in protein synthesis activity and excessive oxidative stress in AKAP9 mutant compared with wild type cells in a tau‐dependent manner, which are mirrored with pathological phenotype frequently seen in AD. Our results demonstrated specific effects of rs14462445 on mis‐processing of tau and suggest a potential role of AKAP9 in AD pathogenesis. 相似文献
