A sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) messenger RNA encoding a protein (SpEGF2) related to epidermal growth factor (EGF) was identified. The full-length complementary DNA sequence predicts a protein with an unusually simple structure, including four tandem EGF-like repeats and a hydrophobic leader, but lacking a potential transmembrane domain. Sequence similarities suggest that the peptides are homologous to two peptides from a different sea urchin species, which cause a classic developmental defect, exogastrulation, when added to the seawater outside of embryos. The SpEGF2 messenger RNA begins to accumulate at blastula stage, and in pluteus larvae it is distributed in discrete regions of ectoderm that are not congruent with known histological borders. One region corresponds to that expressing the homeodomain-containing protein, SpHbox1. The structure of the SpEGF2 protein and the pattern of accumulation of its messenger RNA suggest that it may have important functions as a secreted factor during development of sea urchin embryos.  相似文献

Assessing the energy costs of development in extreme environments is important for understanding how organisms can exist at the margins of the biosphere. Macromolecular turnover rates of RNA and protein were measured at -1.5 degrees C during early development of an Antarctic sea urchin. Contrary to expectations of low synthesis with low metabolism at low temperatures, protein and RNA synthesis rates exhibited temperature compensation and were equivalent to rates in temperate sea urchin embryos. High protein metabolism with a low metabolic rate is energetically possible in this Antarctic sea urchin because the energy cost of protein turnover, 0.45 joules per milligram of protein, is 1/25th the values reported for other animals.  相似文献

采用同源克隆和半定量RT-PCR方法,对虾夷马粪海胆Strongylocentrotus intermedius NLR家族基因片段进行了克隆和组织表达特征分析。将紫球海胆S. purpuratus的9组NLR家族聚类的编码区序列进行比对后,根据保守区域设计引物扩增虾夷马粪海胆中相应的基因,通过测序获得了9组不同NLR聚类基因片段,每组各10个测序结果,通过基因序列及氨基酸序列比对分析,发现存在长度及序列结果上的差异,这说明每组NLR家族聚类都存在多个家族成员。同时选取虾夷马粪海胆的不同组织提取RNA,反转录后使用同样的引物进行半定量RT-PCR分析,结果表明, NLR基因在虾夷马粪海胆的管足、肠、围口膜、体腔细胞、性腺中存在高效表达,且在围口膜及性腺中表达量最高,表明NLR基因在虾夷马粪海胆中普遍表达,并存在表达差异。研究表明, NLR基因在海胆免疫过程中起着重要作用。  相似文献

A novel potential cell surface receptor of the tyrosine kinase gene family has been identified and characterized by molecular cloning. Its primary sequence is very similar to that of the human epidermal growth factor receptor and the v-erbB oncogene product; the chromosomal location of the gene for this protein is coincident with the neu oncogene, which suggests that the two genes may be identical.  相似文献

The rate of ribosomal RNA synthesis per nucleus in cleaving sea urchin embryos is similar to the rate at later embryonic stages. The multiple, atypical nucleoli, present in early embryos and usually attributed to decreased ribosomal RNA synthesis, are beginning stages of nucleolar formation. Full nucleolar development requires more time than the brief interphase of the rapidly dividing cells.  相似文献

Overexpression of transforming growth factor alpha in psoriatic epidermis   总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40  
Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) is produced by and required for the growth of epithelial cells and is angiogenic in vivo. Since epidermal hyperplasia and angiogenesis are hallmarks of psoriasis, TGF-alpha gene expression was analyzed in epidermal biopsies of normal and psoriatic skin. TGF-alpha messenger RNA and protein are much more abundant in lesional psoriatic epidermis than in normal-appearing skin of psoriatic patients or in normal epidermis. In contrast, messenger RNA levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), which inhibits epithelial cell growth, are not significantly different in normal, uninvolved, and lesional psoriatic epidermis. Thus, psoriatic epidermal hyperplasia may involve increased expression of a keratinocyte mitogen (TGF-alpha) rather than deficient expression of a growth inhibitor (TGF-beta 1).  相似文献

为探讨雌二醇(estradiol)对体质量为(13.58±0.79)g的中间球海胆Strongylocentrotus intermedius性腺发育的调控机制,在室内水槽(200 L)中进行为期60 d的注射试验。试验分对照组、雌二醇(5μg/m L)注射组和他莫昔芬(tamoxifen)(25μg/m L)注射组,每3 d注射1次,并于第30天和第60天时两次取样测定海胆增重率(WGR)、性腺指数(GSI)、性类固醇激素含量和胆固醇合成相关基因的表达量。结果表明:注射雌二醇或他莫昔芬并未显著影响海胆的生长速率,却显著影响试验末期海胆的性腺指数,雌二醇组海胆性腺指数显著高于对照组和他莫昔芬组(P0.05);试验结束时,雌二醇组和他莫昔芬组海胆体腔液中雌二醇含量和性腺中胆固醇含量均显著高于对照组(P0.05),雌二醇组海胆性腺中雌二醇含量最高,显著高于对照组和他莫昔芬组(P0.05);雌二醇组海胆性腺和消化道中主要卵黄蛋白(MYP)基因均高于对照组,但均未有显著性差异(P0.05);雌二醇组和他莫昔芬组海胆性腺和消化道中性类固醇激素合成关键基因CYP17和胆固醇合成关键基因CYP51表达量均显著高于对照组(P0.05);他莫昔芬组海胆性腺中CYP17和CYP51基因表达量均低于雌二醇组(P0.05)。研究表明,注射雌二醇显著提高了中间球海胆性腺指数、体内雌二醇含量和雌二醇合成相关基因的表达量,这可能是雌二醇促进海胆性腺发育的调控机制。  相似文献

Effects of extracellular egg factors on sperm guanylate cyclase   总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14  
Extracellular factors from the sea urchin egg induce a change in the electrophoretic mobility of an abundant sperm membrane phosphoprotein. The modified protein was identified as guanylate cyclase. The mobility shift of the cyclase was shown to be associated with a decrease in its enzymatic activity.  相似文献

After fertilization of the sea urchin egg the rate of protein synthesis by a cell-free ribosomal system increases markedly. This increase can be attributed to newly synthesized messenger RNA, since (i) the rate of polypeptide synthesis elicited by synthetic messenger polyribonucleotides changes only slightly after fertilization, and (ii) the enzymes for the formation of amino acyl transfer RNA's of phenylalanine and leucine and the polymerization of polypeptide are in excess in the unfertilized egg. Polypeptide synthesis has been characterized in development to the gastrula stage.  相似文献
