It has been known that lipoxygenase (LOX) isozymes exhibit differences in product formation, but most product information to date is for LOX 1 among soybean (Glycine max) LOX isozymes. In this study, LOXs 2 and 3 were purified and used to generate hydroperoxide (HPOD) products in an in vitro system using linoleic acid as a substrate in the presence of either air or O2. The products were analyzed to determine their stereoisomeric characteristics. The control (no enzyme) showed only low levels of hydroperoxide production and no stereoisomeric specificity. LOX 2 shows high specificity in product formation, producing roughly 4 times more 13-HPOD than 9-HPOD, nearly all of which was 13-S(Z,E)-HPOD. LOX 3 produced more 9-HPOD than 13-HPOD at approximately a 2:1 ratio. No single stereoisomer was predominant among LOX 3 products. These results demonstrate that different isozymes of LOX have characteristic product profiles in in vitro reactions. 相似文献

Relaxin is a peptide hormone found in seminal plasma that has a physiological influence on sperm motility in some species. There are no reports on the effect of relaxin on acrosome reaction and utilization of glucose in boar spermatozoa. In this study, to investigate the effects of relaxin on sperm motility, acrosome reaction, and incorporation and oxidation of labeled glucose, boar spermatozoa were washed and preincubated for swim-up and then incubated (0-6 h) with 0, 20, or 40 ng/ml relaxin in mTALP medium. The results indicated that the addition of relaxin stimulated sperm motility significantly (P<0.05) during 1-4 h of incubation. The percentage of acrosome-reacted live spermatozoa was higher (P<0.05) when the spermatozoa were treated with 20 or 40 ng/ml relaxin. The rate of incorporation, and oxidation of glucose were also greater (P<0.05) in the spermatozoa incubated with relaxin compared to the control spermatozoa. The rate of incorporation and oxidation of (14)C-glucose were increased in correlation with acrosome reaction up to 4 h of incubation and then decreased in line with the increasing incubation period. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that relaxin accelerates not only motility but also the acrosome reaction and utilization of glucose in boar spermatozoa. 相似文献

The purpose of present study was to determine annual changes in serum progesterone (P(4)) concentrations and to clarify basic reproductive characteristics, such as breeding season, estrous cycle, and puberty in female bharals (Pseudois nayaur). Blood was collected from 9 female bharals once or twice weekly for approximately one year. Serum P(4) concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay. Serum P(4) concentrations showed remarkable and cyclic changes between November/December (winter) and May/June (late spring). The mean estrous cycle was 24.9 +/- 0.5 days. Chasing insistently to other females and discharge of mucus from the vulva were observed around the time when the serum P(4) concentrations began to increase. The chasing behavior and discharge of mucus were considered to be external indicators of estrus in female bharals. Serum P(4) concentrations of a pregnant female had non-cyclic changes, and the values remained high. In this study, all 37 deliveries were between April and September, and about 70% of these were concentrated in May and June. The conception month determined on the day of birth was between October and April for all animals, and the most common month was in December (54%). This month corresponded to an early stage of the period when the serum P(4) concentrations changed cyclically. These results indicate that many female bharals become pregnant at the beginning of the breeding seasons and, if they do not become pregnant, the estrous cycle, about 25 days in length, is repeated. 相似文献

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of relaxin on motility, acrosome reaction (AR), viability and utilization of glucose in fresh and frozen‐thawed bovine spermatozoa. Both semen samples were washed twice through centrifugation (5 min at 600 g), and preincubated for 1 h at 39°C for swim up. The swim‐up separated spermatozoa were resuspended in a sperm Tyrode's albumin lactate pyruvate (Sp‐TALP) medium containing 0 (control) and 40 ng/mL porcine relaxin and incubated for 0–6 h. Sperm motility was determined on the basis of movement quality examined by a phase contrast microscope. Sperm viability and AR were evaluated by using the triple staining technique. The incorporation and oxidation of 14C‐glucose was assessed by a liquid scintillation counter. Motility was improved (P < 0.05) in both fresh and frozen‐thawed spermatozoa by the addition of relaxin to the Sp‐TALP medium, whereas relaxin showed no significant effect on viability in either fresh or frozen‐thawed spermatozoa. The percentage of AR increased (P < 0.05) when fresh or frozen‐thawed spermatozoa were incubated with relaxin. In contrast, the incorporation and oxidation of 14C‐glucose increased (P < 0.05) in both kinds of spermatozoa incubated with relaxin. Thus the results demonstrated that the addition of relaxin to the Sp‐TALP medium increased the motility, AR and utilization of glucose in fresh and frozen‐thawed bovine spermatozoa. 相似文献

Analysis of cellular components at multiple levels of biological information can provide valuable functional insights. We performed multiple high-throughput measurements to study the response of Escherichia coli cells to genetic and environmental perturbations. Analysis of metabolic enzyme gene disruptants revealed unexpectedly small changes in messenger RNA and proteins for most disruptants. Overall, metabolite levels were also stable, reflecting the rerouting of fluxes in the metabolic network. In contrast, E. coli actively regulated enzyme levels to maintain a stable metabolic state in response to changes in growth rate. E. coli thus seems to use complementary strategies that result in a metabolic network robust against perturbations. 相似文献

Six-carbon (C(6)) aldehydes and alcohols are important components of the aroma and flavor of fruits and vegetables. Soybean lipoxygenase (LOX) isozyme LOX 3 was reported not only to produce less 13-hydroperoxides, precursors of C(6) aldehydes, but also to convert them to ketodiene products. Here, we examined the effects of LOX 3 on hexenal formation from linolenic acid homogenized with watermelon 13-hydroperoxide lyase (HL)-overexpressing Nicotiana tabacum leaves and soybean acetone powder. Compared to the wild type, which contains LOXs 1, 2, and 3, the elimination of LOX 3 in LOX 1 + 2 facilitates greater production of hexenals. The use of LOX 2 alone yielded the highest hexenal production, while a two-step conversion was required for LOX 1 to produce hexenals at high levels due to different pH optima of the enzymes involved. These results clearly demonstrate that the soybeans lacking LOX 3 in combination with watermelon HL-overexpressing leaf tissues greatly enhance hexenal formation. 相似文献

Glucose is utilized for oxidation and synthesis of various lipids in cultured rat embryos. The present experiment examined the effect of insulin on the incorporation of glucose into lipid fractions in rat embryos in vitro . Embryos at the 2-cell, 8-cell and blastocyst stages were incubated for 5 h in hamster embryo culture medium (HECM)-1 containing 14 C-glucose and 170 nmol/L insulin, or in HECM-1 containing only 14 C-glucose, and the oxidation of glucose in these embryos was examined. In addition, the total lipids of blastocysts were separated by thin layer chromatography and the radioactivity of the separated lipid fractions was measured. Oxidation of glucose was significantly increased after insulin treatment compared with that without insulin treatment in 8-cell embryos and blastocysts ( P < 0.05), but not in 2-cell embryos. Incorporation of glucose into lipids in blastocysts was significantly lowered by insulin treatment compared with that without insulin treatment ( P < 0.05). Most of the radioactivity was recovered from triacylglycerols of blastocysts and the remaining radioactivity was found in other neutral lipids and phospholipids. We conclude that insulin accelerates the utilization for oxidation of glucose and inhibits the storage of triacylglycerols in rat blastocysts. 相似文献

There is increasing evidence to suggest that many degenerative or pathological processes, such as aging, cancer, and coronary
heart disease, are related to reactive oxygen species and radical-mediated reactions. We examined the effectiveness of aged
garlic extract (AGE), a garlic preparation rich in water-soluble cysteinyl moieties, and its component for scavenging of superoxide
by using the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase and human neutrophils. In the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system, electron spin
resonance showed that aged garlic extract scavenged superoxide radicals in a dose-dependent manner up to 54%. The EC50 value of aged garlic extract for the superoxide radical scavenging effect was 0.80 mg/ml. N-α-(1-deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-L-arginine
(25.9%) and (1S, 3S)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (20.8%), water-soluble moieties of AGE,
also exerted superoxide scavenging effects. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-activated human neutrophils produced superoxide
radical of 56.6 ± 9.27 nmol/min/107 cells. Aged garlic extract (3 mg/ml) significantly inhibited superoxide production in comparison to the control. These data
suggest that aged garlic extract may be useful for preventing diseases associated with reactive oxygen species. 相似文献

The response of sapwood of the gymnosperm sugi, Cryptomeria japonica, to fungal invasion following attack by the sugi bark borer, Semanotus japonicus, was investigated. Norlignans—agatharesinol, hinokiresinol and sequirin-C—accumulated in the inner intermediate wood which surrounded discoloured sapwood. Hinokiresinol and two unidentified compounds showed inhibitory effects on Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani and Macrophoma sugi, which were isolated from discoloured sapwood, and Cladosporium herbarum. Most of the ray parenchyma cells in the inner intermediate wood were still alive. Spreading of fungal hyphae colonizing discoloured sapwood was inhibited at the boundary of the inner intermediate wood with the discoloured sapwood. Oil droplet-like deposits in tracheid lumina and pits of the inner intermediate wood were found to occlude many tracheids. The deposits contained lipid and phenolic compounds including norlignans such as hinokiresinol. These results suggest that the deposits form a continuous barrier at the margin of discoloured sapwood, in the wood formed prior to the infection, and prevent the fungi from spreading further. 相似文献

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) hydroperoxide lyase greatly increases C6 aldehyde formation in transgenic leaves 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Fatty acid hydroperoxide lyase (HL) is the key enzyme for the production of the "green note"compounds, leaf aldehyde [(2E)-hexenal] and leaf alcohol [(3Z)-hexenol], in plant tissues. A cDNA encoding HL was cloned from leaves of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and expressed in Nicotiana tabacum. The enzyme is 3 times more active with 13-hydroperoxylinolenic acid than with 13-hydroperoxylinoleic acid. The activity against 9-hydroperoxides of polyunsaturated fatty acids is minimal. Enzyme activity of the watermelon HL in the transgenic leaves was approximately 50 times higher than endogenous HL activity in the wild-type N. tabacum plants. When compared with Arabidopsis HL also expressed in N. tabacum, the highest HL activity is 10 times higher in watermelon HL overexpressing leaves than in Arabidopsis HL overexpressers. 相似文献
