The effect of a wide range of concentrations of oleic acid, oleyl alcohol and oleic acid methyl ester on lysosomal stability has been studied under both hypotonic and isoosmotic medium conditions. Both oleic acid and oleyl alcohol exhibited a biphasic interaction pattern with lysosomes; stabilizing at low concentrations and labilizing at high concentrations. Lysosome labilization by the ester required an initial lag period. 相似文献

Participation of p53 cellular tumour antigen in transformation of normal embryonic cells 总被引:118,自引:0,他引:118
The cellular tumour antigen p53 is found at elevated levels in a wide variety of transformed cells (for reviews see refs 1, 2). Very little is yet known about the precise relationship of p53 to malignant transformation. Although the increase in p53 levels could be a secondary by-product of the transformed state, it is equally possible that p53 is actively involved in altering cellular growth properties, especially as it has been implicated in the regulation of normal cell proliferation. We sought to test whether p53 could behave in a manner similar to known genes in a biological test system, and we demonstrate here that p53 can cooperate with the activated Ha-ras oncogene to transform normal embryonic cells. The resultant foci contain cells of a markedly altered morphology which produce high levels of p53. Cell lines established from such foci elicit tumours in syngeneic animals. 相似文献

Due to current trend and increasing interest towards natural based fiber products, Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) fibers have been used for the developments of many products. Therefore, Kenaf fiber-reinforced composites have been widely used in engineering and industrial applications. The present work deals with the fabricating and characterization of untreated and treated kenaf/polypropylene (PP)-reinforced composites. Composites of PP reinforced with treated and untreated kenaf fibers were fabricated using the injection molding technique. Different fiber loadings of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 wt% treated and untreated kenaf composites were also prepared. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) were performed on the treated, untreated kenaf fibers and kenaf/PP composites. Moreover, the alkaline-treated kenaf composites exhibit better physical, morphological, and mechanical properties because of the compatibility of kenaf with PP. However, variations in tensile and flexural properties depend on treatment and kenaf fiber contents. The percentage increase in the mechanical properties of the treated kenaf/PP composites relative to that of PP was also measured. In addition, 40 wt% kenaf fiber loading resulted in higher mechanical properties. By contrast, kenaf/PP composite with 50% fiber loading was not successfully prepared because of improper mixing and the burning of kenaf fibers in the PP matrix. To conclude, 40% kenaf/PP composites with superior physical and mechanical properties may be used in variety of applications such as automotive, sports, construction, animal bedding, and mass production industries. 相似文献

A QTL for flowering time in Arabidopsis reveals a novel allele of CRY2. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Variation of flowering time is found in the natural populations of many plant species. The underlying genetic variation, mostly of a quantitative nature, is presumed to reflect adaptations to different environments contributing to reproductive success. Analysis of natural variation for flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana has identified several quantitative trait loci (QTL), which have yet to be characterized at the molecular level. A major environmental factor that determines flowering time is photoperiod or day length, the length of the light period, which changes across the year differently with geographical latitude. We identified the EDI locus as a QTL partly accounting for the difference in flowering response to the photoperiod between two Arabidopsis accessions: the laboratory strain Landsberg erecta (Ler), originating in Northern Europe, and Cvi, collected in the tropical Cape Verde Islands. Positional cloning of the EDI QTL showed it to be a novel allele of CRY2, encoding the blue-light photoreceptor cryptochrome-2 that has previously been shown to promote flowering in long-day (LD) photoperiods. We show that the unique EDI flowering phenotype results from a single amino-acid substitution that reduces the light-induced downregulation of CRY2 in plants grown under short photoperiods, leading to early flowering. 相似文献

The present paper reports on a systematic study of the influence of Zn alloying on the
structural and optical properties of Cd1 xZnxS thin films. X-ray diffraction study for structural
analysis reveals that the two binary compounds have been completely transformed into ternary
compound with hexagonal (wurtzite) structure with preferred orientation along c-direction with
(002) planes. The optical properties such as optical constants and band gap energy of the films were
examined by using spectroscopic ellipsometer and Photospectrometery. It was found that the
optical constants (n and k) decrease with the addition of Zn content in the alloy. It was also
confirmed that the band gap increases with increasing Zn amount in the alloy and is attributed to
quantum size effect in the grain size. Raman spectroscopy analysis shows one dominant phonon
band at 326 cm 1, the so-called longitudinal optical (LO) mode for all the alloy composition (x).
The appearance of a single phonon band in the Raman spectra established the formation of single
phase hexagonal structured Cd1 xZnxS thin film. The LO band is asymmetrically broaden and high
frequency shifted due to potential fluctuation caused by the dopant material. The AFM results
showed that the surface roughness was decreased with increasing Zn content. 相似文献

Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anaemia (TRMA), also known as Rogers syndrome, is an early onset, autosomal recessive disorder defined by the occurrence of megaloblastic anaemia, diabetes mellitus and sensorineural deafness, responding in varying degrees to thiamine treatment (MIM 249270). We have previously narrowed the TRMA locus from a 16-cM to a 4-cM interval on chromosomal region 1q23.3 (refs 3,4) and this region has been further refined to a 1.4-cM interval. Previous studies have suggested that deficiency in a high-affinity thiamine transporter may cause this disorder. Here we identify the TRMA gene by positional cloning. We assembled a P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) contig spanning the TRMA candidate region. This clarified the order of genetic markers across the TRMA locus, provided 9 new polymorphic markers and narrowed the locus to an approximately 400-kb region. Mutations in a new gene, SLC19A2, encoding a putative transmembrane protein homologous to the reduced folate carrier proteins, were found in all affected individuals in six TRMA families, suggesting that a defective thiamine transporter protein (THTR-1) may underlie the TRMA syndrome. 相似文献

It is not yet clear whether humans are able to learn while they are sleeping. Here we show that full-term human newborns can be taught to discriminate between similar vowel sounds when they are fast asleep. It is possible that such sleep training soon after birth could find application in clinical or educational situations. 相似文献
