Role of caveolin-1 and cytoskeletal proteins, actin and vimentin, in adipogenesis of bovine intramuscular preadipocyte cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We investigated the involvement of caveolin-1 and the cytoskeletal proteins, actin and vimentin, in the adipogenesis of bovine intramuscular preadipocyte (BIP) cells. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that levels of caveolin-1 and actin gradually increased during adipose conversion in BIP cells, whereas a slight decrease was observed for vimentin. We found that part of the vimentin was clearly distributed to caveolin-1-enriched membrane fractions in BIP cells, but actin was not. During adipogenesis of BIP cells, treatment with the tubulin depolymerizer, nocodazole, significantly increased intracellular triglyceride accumulation compared to non-treated cells. Immunocytochemical analysis showed that actin microfilaments were significantly disrupted in nocodazole-treated cells. Also, a decrease in the localization of vimentin in caveolin-1-enriched fractions and a failure of vimentin to co-immunoisolate with caveolin-1 were observed in nocodazole-treated cells. These results suggest that a rearrangement of cytoskeletal proteins has a role in the intracellular accumulation of lipid droplets during adipogenesis of BIP cells. 相似文献

We investigated the community structure of ichneumonid wasps inhabiting beech forests at six sites in the Tanzawa Mountains of Japan under different magnitudes of impact by sika deer Cervus nippon and beech sawfly Fagineura crenativora on vegetation. Using yellow flight-interception traps, we captured 2,528 ichneumonid wasps representing 367 species in 23 subfamilies. The number of species at each site ranged from 77 to 136 and approximately 80% of these were low-density species (i.e. only one to two individuals captured per site). The number of individuals at each site ranged from 248 to 897, and the percentage of the beech sawfly parasitoids varied widely from 1% to 57%. The numbers of species in parasitoid groups categorized according to their hosts, that is, sawfly (not including the beech sawfly), Lepidoptera, woodborer, fungivore or the others, did not greatly differ among the study sites. Parasitoids attacking herbivorous insects exceeded others in species richness and abundance at all sites. Six sites were classified into four groups in terms of abundance of the host groups when excluding the parasitoids of the beech sawfly, but into only two groups when including these parasitoids. Species diversity and evenness were the highest at the least impacted site even if the beech sawfly parasitoids were excluded from calculation. We suggested some environmental factors, such as groundcover vegetation, abundance of the beech sawfly and structure and age of forest stands, that could have affected the community structure of ichneumonid wasps in the beech forests. 相似文献

High-temperature-mediated adaptation in plant architecture is linked to the increased synthesis of the phytohormone auxin, which alters cellular auxin homeostasis. The auxin gradient, modulated by cellular auxin homeostasis, plays an important role in regulating the developmental fate of plant organs. Although the signaling mechanism that integrates auxin and high temperature is relatively well understood, the cellular auxin homeostasis mechanism under high temperature is largely unknown. Using the Arabidopsis thaliana root as a model, we demonstrate that under high temperature, roots counterbalance the elevated level of intracellular auxin by promoting shootward auxin efflux in a PIN-FORMED2 (PIN2)-dependent manner. Further analyses revealed that high temperature selectively promotes the retrieval of PIN2 from late endosomes and sorts them to the plasma membrane through an endosomal trafficking pathway dependent on SORTING NEXIN1. Our results demonstrate that recycling endosomal pathway plays an important role in facilitating plants adaptation to increased temperature. 相似文献

The DNA religation reaction of yeast type II topoisomerase (topo II) was investigated to elucidate its metal-dependent general acid/base catalysis. Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical calculations were performed for the topo II religation reaction, and the proton transfer pathway was examined. We found a substrate-mediated proton transfer of the topo II religation reaction, which involves the 3′ OH nucleophile, the reactive phosphate, water, Arg781, and Tyr782. Metal A stabilizes the transition states, which is consistent with a two-metal mechanism in topo II. This pathway may be required for the cleavage/religation reaction of topo IA and II and will provide a general explanation for the catalytic mechanism in the topo IA and II. 相似文献

1-O-Palmitoyl-d-glucopyranose was prepared by the selective 1-O-acylation of 4,6-O-benzylideneglucose followed by hydrogenolysis of the protecting group. 1-O-Oleoyl-d-glucopyranose was synthesized from the corresponding benzylidene derivative by selective hydrolysis in acetic acid. This procedure constitutes a useful method for the synthesis of 1-O-acyl-d-glucopyranoses containing unsaturated carboxylic acids. However, 4,6-O-benzylidene-l-O-linolenoyl-d-glucopyranose was converted to 3-O-linolenoyl-d-glucopyranose by the acidic hydrolysis due to acyl migration.Synthesized glucosyl esters were inactive in the bean second-internode bioassay. However, it was found that 3-O-linolenoyl-d-glucopyranose had a promoting activity on germination of pollen and growth of pollen tube. 相似文献

Asymmetric hydrolysis of acetate (10) of (±)-t-2,t-4-dimethyl-r-l-cyclohexanol with Bacillus subtilis var. niger gave (?)-(lS,2S,4S)-2,4-dimethyl-l-cyclohexanol (6a) and (+)-(1R,2R,4R)-acetate (10b) with high optical purities. Optically pure (?) and (+)-alcohols (6a and 6b) were prepared via corresponding 3,5-dinitrobenzoates. Oxidation of alcohols (6a and 6b) with chromic acid gave optically pure (?)-(2S,4S) and (+)-(2R,4R)-2,4-dimethyl-l-cyclohexanones (2a and 2b), respectively. 相似文献

Photosensitized oxygenation of dehydro-β-ionylidene-ethanol afforded 1′-hydroxy-4′keto-α-ionylidene-ethanol, which was oxidized with active MnO2 to give 1′-hydroxy-4′-keto-α-ionylidene-acetaldehyde. The Wittig reaction of α-ionylideneacetaldehyde with carbethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane or the phosphorane prepared from ethyl γ-bromosenecioate gave ethyl α-ionylidene-crotonate or ethyl α-ionylidenesenecioate. Vitamin A2 acid ethyl ester was converted to the hydroxy-keto-ester by photosensitized oxygenation. About the above synthesized compounds were examined growth inhibitory activities on rice seedlings. 相似文献

(2R*,4S*,6S*,αS*)- and (2R,4R,6R,αS)-Streptovitacin-C2 (STV-C2) (1a and 1b) were synthesized by an aldol condensation of (2R*,4S*)- or (2R,4R)-2,4-dimethyl-2-trimethylsiloxy-1-cyclohexanone (15a or 15b) with 4-(2-oxoethyl)-2,6-piperidinedione (16), which was followed by desilylation of the products. The stereochemistry of the synthesized STV-C2 isomers (1a and 1b) was elucidated by NMR. STV-C2 isomers (1a and 1b) did not show strong antimicrobial activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pyricularia oryzae. 相似文献

The total synthesis of ( + )-methyI phaseate (2b) and its epimer (25) is described. The known β- ketoester (8), which was prepared from ( — )-/f-pinene (4), was converted to a key intermediate (5) via a 1, 4-dioxoester (7). The reaction of 5 with a lithium reagent of the acetylene TBDMS ether (6) in THF-HMPA at — 70°C afforded the desired acetylene alcohol (17) and its epimer (18) in high yields. 17 was transformed into ( + )-methyl phaseate (2b). From this synthetic work, the absolute configuration of natural ( — )-phaseic acid (2a) was confirmed. 相似文献
