Bacterial grazing by planktonic lake algae     

Bird DF  Kalff J 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1986,231(4737):493-495

Six common species of lake algae were found to ingest bacteria. The ingestion rates measured were of the same magnitude as those recorded for marine microflagellates totally dependent on external sources of carbon. A large biomass of Dinobryon species removed more bacteria from the water column of a lake than crustaceans, rotifers, and ciliates combined.  相似文献

Enhanced CpG mutability and tumorigenesis in MBD4-deficient mice     

Millar CB  Guy J  Sansom OJ  Selfridge J  MacDougall E  Hendrich B  Keightley PD  Bishop SM  Clarke AR  Bird A 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2002,297(5580):403-405

The mammalian protein MBD4 contains a methyl-CpG binding domain and can enzymatically remove thymine (T) or uracil (U) from a mismatched CpG site in vitro. These properties suggest that MBD4 might function in vivo to minimize the mutability of 5-methylcytosine by removing its deamination product from DNA. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing Mbd4-/- mice and found that the frequency of of C --> T transitions at CpG sites was increased by a factor of three. On a cancer-susceptible Apc(Min/+) background, Mbd4-/- mice showed accelerated tumor formation with CpG --> TpG mutations in the Apc gene. Thus MBD4 suppresses CpG mutability and tumorigenesis in vivo.  相似文献

Effects of altitude on circadian rhythm of adult locomotor activity in Himalayan strains of Drosophila helvetica

Background  

We recently reported that the altitude of origin altered the photic and thermal sensitivity of the circadian pacemaker controlling eclosion and oviposition rhythms of high altitude Himalayan strains of Drosophila ananassae. The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of altitude of origin on the pacemaker controlling the adult locomotor activity rhythm of D. helvetica.  相似文献
