Menkes disease (MD) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by copper deficiency resulting in a diminished function
of copper-dependent enzymes. Most MD patients die in early childhood, although mild forms of MD have also been described.
A diversity of mutations in the gene encoding of the Golgi-resident copper-transporting P1B-type ATPase ATP7A underlies MD. To elucidate the molecular consequences of the ATP7A mutations, various mutations in ATP7A associated with distinct phenotypes of MD (L873R, C1000R, N1304S, and A1362D) were analyzed in detail. All mutants studied
displayed changes in protein expression and intracellular localization parallel to a dramatic decline in their copper-transporting
capacity compared to ATP7A the wild-type. We restored these observed defects in ATP7A mutant proteins by culturing the cells
at 30°C, which improves the quality of protein folding, similar to that which as has recently has been demonstrated for misfolded
ATP7B, a copper transporter homologous to ATP7A. Further, the effect of the canine copper toxicosis protein COMMD1 on ATP7A
function was examined as COMMD1 has been shown to regulate the proteolysis of ATP7B proteins. Interestingly, in addition to
adjusted growth temperature, binding of COMMD1 partially restored the expression, subcellular localization, and copper-exporting
activities of the ATP7A mutants. However, no effect of pharmacological chaperones was observed. Together, the presented data
might provide a new direction for developing therapies to improve the residual exporting activity of unstable ATP7A mutant
proteins, and suggests a potential role for COMMD1 in this process. 相似文献

ARC syndrome (OMIM 208085) is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by neurogenic arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, renal tubular dysfunction and neonatal cholestasis with bile duct hypoplasia and low gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (gGT) activity. Platelet dysfunction is common. Affected infants do not thrive and usually die in the first year of life. To elucidate the molecular basis of ARC, we mapped the disease to a 7-cM interval on 15q26.1 and then identified germline mutations in the gene VPS33B in 14 kindreds with ARC. VPS33B encodes a homolog of the class C yeast vacuolar protein sorting gene, Vps33, that contains a Sec1-like domain important in the regulation of vesicle-to-target SNARE complex formation and subsequent membrane fusion. 相似文献

It is clear that discards from commercial fisheries are a key food resource for many seabird species around the world. But predicting the response of seabird communities to changes in discard rates is problematic and requires historical data to elucidate the confounding effects of other, more 'natural' ecological processes. In the North Sea, declining stocks, changes in technical measures, changes in population structure and the establishment of a recovery programme for cod (Gadus morhua) will alter the amount of fish discarded. This region also supports internationally important populations of seabirds, some of which feed extensively, but facultatively, on discards, in particular on undersized haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) and whiting (Merlangius merlangus). Here we use long-term data sets from the northern North Sea to show that there is a direct link between discard availability and discard use by a generalist predator and scavenger--the great skua (Stercorarius skua). Reduced rates of discarding, particularly when coupled with reduced availability of small shoaling pelagic fish such as sandeel (Ammodytes marinus), result in an increase in predation by great skuas on other birds. This switching of prey by a facultative scavenger presents a potentially serious threat to some seabird communities. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Verabreichung vond-, wie auch vonl-Triiodothyrosin erzeugt eine ähnliche Vermehrung der Erythropoiesis in nephroektomierten Ratten, wie bei der Messung der Radioeiseninkorporation durch Erythrozyten (18 h nach Injektion von radioaktivem Eisencitrat). Es ergab sich weiter, dassd- undl-Thyrosin, im Unterschied zu Erythropoieten, die reticulozytose Eisenassimilation in vitro vermehrte. Danach scheinen verschiedene Mechanismen bei der Stimulation der Erythropoiesis durch Erythropoieten und Triiodothyronin im Spiele zu sein. 相似文献

Genomic profiling was performed on explants of late proliferative phase human endometrium after 24-h treatment with progesterone
(P) or oestradiol and progesterone (17β-E2+P) and on explants of menstrual phase endometrium treated with 17β-E2+P. Gene expression was validated with real-time PCR in the samples used for the arrays, in endometrium collected from early
and mid-secretory phase endometrium, and in additional experiments performed on new samples collected in the menstrual and
late proliferative phase. The results show that late proliferative phase human endometrium is more responsive to progestins
than menstrual phase endometrium, that the expression of several genes associated with embryo implantation (i.e. thrombomodulin, monoamine oxidase A, SPARC-like 1) can be induced by P in vitro, and that genes that are fully dependent on the continuous presence of 17β-E2 during P exposure can be distinguished from those that are P-dependent to a lesser extent. Therefore, 17β-E2 selectively primes implantation-related genes for the effects of P.

Although human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infects quiescent and proliferating CD4+ lymphocytes, the virus replicates poorly in resting T cells. Factors that block viral replication in these cells might help to prolong the asymptomatic phase of HIV infection; however, the molecular mechanisms that control this process are not fully understood. Here we show that Murr1, a gene product known previously for its involvement in copper regulation, inhibits HIV-1 growth in unstimulated CD4+ T cells. This inhibition was mediated in part through its ability to inhibit basal and cytokine-stimulated nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activity. Knockdown of Murr1 increased NF-kappaB activity and decreased IkappaB-alpha concentrations by facilitating phospho-IkappaB-alpha degradation by the proteasome. Murr1 was detected in CD4+ T cells, and RNA-mediated interference of Murr1 in primary resting CD4+ lymphocytes increased HIV-1 replication. Through its effects on the proteasome, Murr1 acts as a genetic restriction factor that inhibits HIV-1 replication in lymphocytes, which could contribute to the regulation of asymptomatic HIV infection and the progression of AIDS. 相似文献
