Eumelanins and pheomelanins: characterization by electron spin resonance spectroscopy 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Synthetic dopa melanin and cysteinyldopa melanin have different electron spin resonance spectra. Data are reported for mixtures of these melanins and for dopa-cysteinyldopa copolymers, which are spectroscopically similar. A simple parameterization of the spectra allows estimation of the relative amounts of (i) dopa melanin and cysteinyldopa melanin in mixtures and of (ii) dopa and cysteinyldopa incorporated into copolymers. Several natural eumelanins and pheomelanins have been characterized and shown to be copolymers. 相似文献

Dihydroxyphenylalanine in rat food containing wheat and oats 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Dopa has been identified in rat food by three different fluorimetric assays and paper chromatography. Incubation of the rat food with proteolytic enzymes dramatically increased the measurable free dopa. Analysis of samples of six individual protein-containing constituents of rat food revealed that both wheat and oats contain dopa. 相似文献

Brain catechol synthesis was estimated by measuring the rate at which brain dopa levels rose following decarboxylase inhibition. Dopa accumulation was accelerated by tyrosine administration, and decreased by treatments that lowered brain tyrosine concentrations (for example, intraperitoneal tryptophan, leucine, or parachlorophenylalanine). A low dose of phenylalanine elevated brain tyrosine without accelerating dopa synthesis. Our findings raise the possibility that nutritional and endocrine factors might influence brain catecholamine synthesis by controlling the availability of tyrosine. 相似文献

异色瓢虫低温胁迫下过冷却点变化及抗寒基因表达分析 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
【目的】异色瓢虫(Harmonia axyridis)是一种重要的捕食性天敌昆虫资源,在东北地区以成虫越冬,具有非常强的抗寒能力。以过冷却点和抗寒基因的mRNA水平变化作为瓢虫抗寒性能指标,探索低温胁迫提高瓢虫抗寒的作用。【方法】将野外采集到的异色瓢虫通过0、5和10℃ 3种不同温度,进行2、12和24 h 3种时间的低温胁迫处理,测定过冷却点的变化,得到最佳低温胁迫条件。以室内饲养的异色瓢虫作为对照组,分别在5℃低温条件下储存10、20和30 d,测定过冷却点变化和存活情况。根据转录组和数字表达谱（digital gene expression,DGE）数据分析确定6个重要抗寒基因,选择18S作为内参基因,采用实时荧光定量PCR检测异色瓢虫6个重要抗寒基因在低温胁迫和保存时mRNA水平上的相对表达量,分析其在抗寒过程中所起的作用。【结果】5℃低温胁迫12 h能够显著降低异色瓢虫的过冷却点。在低温保存过程中,低温胁迫组异色瓢虫过冷却点和存活率低于未进行低温胁迫组。实时荧光定量PCR检测发现HSP21.4、trehalase、transketolase、ATP-grasp fold domain protein和dopa decarboxylase在低温胁迫过程中表达量上调,而erythrocyte binding protein的表达量下调。且在低温保存过程中HSP21.4一直处于高表达状态,显著高于未进行低温胁迫组,其余5个基因在低温保存过程中处于低表达状态,显著低于未进行低温胁迫组。【结论】低温胁迫能够降低异色瓢虫的过冷却点,但不一定能够提高夏季野外耐高温异色瓢虫的存活能力。HSP21.4和erythrocyte binding protein分别通过高表达和低表达来提高异色瓢虫的抗寒能力,而trehalase、transketolase、ATP-grasp fold domain protein和dopadecarboxylase通过在低温胁迫过程中高表达,保护异色瓢虫抵御寒冷环境。 相似文献

Relatively high concentrations of dopa and dopamnine were found in Glusulase, an enzyme preparation widely used in studies on catecholamine metabolism. This contamination may be a source of error in some studies, particularly in those measuring the endogenous concentrations of these catechols and their metabolic products. 相似文献

Thyrotropin releasing hormone: enhancement of dopa activity by a hypothalamic hormone 总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9

Thyrotropin releasing hormone potentiates the behaviorial effects of dopa plus pargyline in mice. Because the potentiation occurs in hypophysectomized mice, as well as in normal mice, the phenomenon is independent of the release of thyroid stimulating hormone from the pituitary. Possible mechanisms and clinical implications are discussed. 相似文献

L-Dopa methyl ester: prolongation of survival of neuroblastoma-bearing mice after treatment 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
M M Wick 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1978,199(4330):775-776
L-Dopa has has been shown to demonstrate enhanced toxicity toward melanoma cells in vitro. Since melanocytes arise from the neural crest embryologically, the effect of L-dopa methyl ester, a soluble analog, on the murine C1300 neuroblastoma was studied. There was significant antitumor activity against the neuroblastoma, which was enhanced by combination with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor, Ro4-4602. In vitro studies suggested inhibition of DNA synthesis as the principal site of action. A mechanism involving sulfhydryl compound scavenging is postulated. 相似文献

The beak of the Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas represents one of the hardest and stiffest wholly organic materials known. As it is deeply embedded within the soft buccal envelope, the manner in which impact forces are transmitted between beak and envelope is a matter of considerable scientific interest. Here, we show that the hydrated beak exhibits a large stiffness gradient, spanning two orders of magnitude from the tip to the base. This gradient is correlated with a chemical gradient involving mixtures of chitin, water, and His-rich proteins that contain 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (dopa) and undergo extensive stabilization by histidyl-dopa cross-link formation. These findings may serve as a foundation for identifying design principles for attaching mechanically mismatched materials in engineering and biological applications. 相似文献

CNS and hypoderm regulatory elements of the Drosophila melanogaster dopa decarboxylase gene 总被引：16，自引：0，他引：16

Expression of the dopa decarboxylase gene (Ddc) is regulated in a tissue- and developmental stage-specific manner throughout the life cycle of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Essential Ddc regulatory elements lie within 208 base pairs upstream from the RNA start point. Functional elements within this 5' flanking region were mapped by deletion analysis, which assayed expression in vivo after germline integration via P element vectors. One of the elements is essential for expression in both the larval and adult central nervous system, and at least two other elements are necessary for quantitatively normal expression in the hypoderm. Within each of the intervals that have regulatory effects are found sequence elements conserved between the Ddc genes of two distantly related species of flies. On the basis of this correlation, regulatory functions for these sequence elements can be postulated. 相似文献

(1) The protein intake of China is approximately 80 grams per capita per day, 5 per cent. of which is animal protein. (2) The lower digestibility of the protein in vegetarian diets causes the effective protein intake to be much less than is indicated by this figure. (3) Attempts in the laboratory to devise an adequate diet using foods from vegetarian sources only have not met with marked success. (4) The use of mixed cereals in the diet has provided protein of higher biological value; this habit may reflect the attempt on the part of the rural peoples to work out a more effective protein intake. (5) It is suggested that in China some of the cereal protein in the dietary intake be replaced by more leaf vegetable protein. (6) The question is raised as to how far it is feasible in the war economy to replace animal protein by vegetable protein. (7) In long-term plans for food relief in the Far East it is urged that an emphasis be placed on the protein factor. 相似文献

Identification of HTLV-III/LAV sor gene product and detection of antibodies in human sera 总被引：24，自引：0，他引：24

The nucleotide sequence of the genome of HTLV-III, the infectious agent etiologically associated with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome, predicts a small open reading frame, termed sor, located between the pol and env genes. A DNA segment containing 82 percent of the sor region was inserted into a prokaryotic expression vector, pJL6, to determine whether sor encodes a viral protein and to gain some insight into its possible function. The bacterially synthesized sor protein reacted with sera from individuals infected with HTLV-III, indicating that sor is expressed as a protein product or products that are immunogenic in vivo. Antibodies to the purified, bacterially synthesized sor protein were found to react specifically with the same protein and also with a protein of molecular weight 23,000 (23K) in HTLV-III-infected H9 cell extracts. The 23K protein comigrated with a protein immunoprecipitated by the serum of a hemophiliac patient with antibodies to HTLV-III, suggesting that this protein is probably the sor gene product. 相似文献

Primary structure of the beta subunit of the DHP-sensitive calcium channel from skeletal muscle 总被引：18，自引：0，他引：18
P Ruth A R?hrkasten M Biel E Bosse S Regulla H E Meyer V Flockerzi F Hofmann 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1989,245(4922):1115-1118
Complementary DNAs for the beta subunit of the dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel of rabbit skeletal muscle were isolated on the basis of peptide sequences derived from the purified protein. The deduced primary structure is without homology to other known protein sequences and is consistent with the beta subunit being a peripheral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic aspect of the sarcolemma. The protein contains sites that might be expected to be preferentially phosphorylated by protein kinase C and guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. A messenger RNA for this protein appears to be expressed in brain. 相似文献
