An improved vector (lambda gtWES.T5-622) for EcoRI fragments has been derived from EK2 vector lambda gtWES.lambdaB' by replacing the lambda B fragment with two identical 1.1 Md fragments from the pre-early region of bacteriophage T5. The new vector has two advantages which facilitate elimination of parental-type recombinants in an in vitro recombination experiment. Firstly, the 1.1 Md insert is too small to be re-inserted into lambda gtWES in a single copy. Secondly the 1.1 Md T5 fragment carries T5 gene A3 which prevents growth of phage retaining this fragment when the Excherichia coli host carries plasmid ColIb. Thus, essentially all plaques are due to phage with donor DNA inserts and are free of T5 DNA fragments. The size usually given as the theoretical minimum size for insertion into the lambda gt series of vectors is 0.66 Md. We have shown that this size is an underestimate and that the lower limit is about 1.6 Md. A precise estimate is difficult since there is strong selection, among phage having small inserts, for those which have acquired additional genetic material by duplication of the lambda DNA. 相似文献

A full-length cDNA encoding a putative aspartic acid protease (AcAP1) was isolated for the first time from the flesh of pineapple (Ananas comosus) fruit. The deduced sequence of AcAP1 showed all the common features of a typical plant aspartic protease phytepsin precursor. Analysis of AcAP1 gene expression under postharvest chilling treatment in two pineapple varieties differing in their resistance to blackheart development revealed opposite trends. The resistant variety showed an up-regulation of AcAP1 precursor gene expression whereas the susceptible showed a down-regulation in response to postharvest chilling treatment. The same trend was observed regarding specific AP enzyme activity in both varieties. Taken together our results support the involvement of AcAP1 in postharvest chilling stress resistance in pineapple fruits. 相似文献

The Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is globally distributed and is one of the most commercially and ecologically important marine organisms. However, little is known about the genome of this species. In this study, a C. gigas fosmid library was constructed that contains 459,936 clones with an average insert size of approximately 40 kb, representing 22.34-fold haploid genome equivalents. End sequencing generated 90,240 fosmid end sequences (FESs) with an average length of 384.27 base pairs (bp), covering approximately 2.58% of the Pacific oyster genome. The FESs were subsequently assembled and annotated, resulting in 6332 sequences with predicted open reading frames≥300 and 1,189,100 bp repeats. Furthermore, a total of 3200 microsatellite repeats were identified, and dinucleotide repeats were found to occur most abundantly, with AG and AAT being the most abundant repeat class of dinucleotides and trinucleotides. We also found that the repeat number was generally negatively proportional to the repeat element length. Microsatellites composition between the transcribed sequences and genomic sequences was shown to be different. Point mutations of microsatellite were non-random and underwent strong selection stress. Overall, a comprehensive sequence resource for the Pacific oyster was created, including annotated transposable elements, tandem repeats, protein coding sequences and microsatellites. These initial findings will serve as resources for further in-depth studies of physical mapping, gene discovery, microsatellite marker developing and evolution studies. 相似文献

c-Fms, a member of the Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), is the receptor for macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF-1) that regulates proliferation, differentiation and survival of cells of the mononuclear phagocyte lineage. Abnormal expression of c-fms proto-oncogene is associated with a significant number of human pathologies, including a variety of cancers and rheumatoid arthritis. Accordingly, c-Fms represents an attractive therapeutic target. To further understand the regulation of c-Fms, we determined the 2.7 A resolution crystal structure of the cytosolic domain of c-Fms that comprised the kinase domain and the juxtamembrane domain. The structure reveals the crucial inhibitory role of the juxtamembrane domain (JM) that binds to a hydrophobic site immediately adjacent to the ATP binding pocket. This interaction prevents the activation loop from adopting an active conformation thereby locking the c-Fms kinase into an autoinhibited state. As observed for other members of the PDGF receptor family, namely c-Kit and Flt3, three JM-derived tyrosine residues primarily drive the mechanism for autoinhibition in c-Fms, therefore defining a common autoinhibitory mechanism within this family. Moreover the structure provides an understanding of c-Fms inhibition by Gleevec as well as providing a platform for the development of more selective inhibitors that target the inactive conformation of c-Fms kinase. 相似文献

Human lactoferrin upregulates expression of KDR/Flk-1 and stimulates VEGF-A-mediated endothelial cell proliferation and migration 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Lactoferrin (LF) is a multifunctional iron-binding glycoprotein, which plays a variety of biological processes including immunity. In this study, we demonstrate that human LF upregulates KDR/Flk-1 mRNA and protein levels in HUVECs at an optimal concentration of 5 microg/ml, which subsequently promotes the VEGF-induced proliferation and migration of the endothelial cells. Exposure of HUVECs to LF significantly increased VEGF-induced ERK MAP kinase phosphorylation. The maximal stimulation of KDR/Flk-1 expression by LF was correlated with LF-induced increase in cell proliferation and migration. These findings suggest that LF may stimulate in vivo angiogenesis via upregulation of KDR/Flk-1 expression in endothelial cells. 相似文献

The effect of different non‐nucleotide inserts incorporated into oligonucleotide chains on their hybridization properties was studied by the method of thermal denaturation. Various types of alkyldiols and oligoethylene glycols were used as inserts modifying oligonucleotide backbone. Such modification of oligonucleotides caused the destabilization of their complementary complexes. It was shown that the hybridization properties of the modified oligonucleotides depend on several features of inserts: the type, number, length of insertions, and positions of interrupted dinucleotide steps in oligonucleotide chain. 相似文献

The goal of this study was to measure behavioral auditory thresholds in four Japanese macaques. Animals were trained using food as a reward in an operant reinforcement paradigm. Stimuli were 1-s sinusoids with 10-ms rise/fall times delivered through insert earphones (Etymotic ER-1) having expandable foam eartips. The animals generally produced threshold contours similar in shape to those reported for other macaques species, except that the low-frequency thresholds may have been slightly higher in the present studies. At middle and high frequencies, thresholds fell at the lower extreme of the range previously reported in other macaque species. The possible difference in low-frequency thresholds may have been a result of either transducer and calibration differences between studies or true species variations, or both. Though somewhat limited at high frequencies, the insert earphones used in these studies offer more reliable calibrations, less susceptibility to changes in positioning with movement of the animal, and greater interaural attenuation.
