The splenomegaly and the appearance of a significant number of CFU-E (erythroid colony-forming units) and BFU-E1 (erythroid burst-forming units) in the Belgrade laboratory rat (b/b) spleen prompted us to analyse further the molecular evidence for increased hematopoietic proliferation in the b/b spleen. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) specific for globins, proteins for iron transport and deposition and the band 3 protein were used in rat erythropoietic tissues as markers for proliferation and erythroid differentiation. In the b/b spleen, all mRNAs analysed display an erythroid-specific pattern of expression. This analysis also revealed an enhanced level of mRNA for ferritin in the +/b spleen, whereas erythrocyte-specific mRNA production was normal.  相似文献

The presenilins (PSs) were new proteins discovered in 1995 to be involved, among other functions, in the molecular mechanisms leading to Alzheimers disease. These proteins have been the subject of many investigations since then to elucidate their molecular structures and functions. Until now, the conclusions about PS structure have been discordant, but the 8-TM structure has been accepted by the Alzheimers community, with the evidence for the 7-TM structure largely ignored. Here the evidence is reviewed for the 6-TM, 7-TM, 8-TM and other proposed models of PS topography and possibilities offered for the differences in interpretation of the various sets of data. The conclusion is that at this stage, the 7-TM model for cell surface PS is most likely the correct one.Received 22 December 2004; accepted 26 January 2005  相似文献

Protein ubiquitination has critical roles in neuronal physiology and defects in protein ubiquitination have been implicated in neurodegenerative pathology. The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is one of two key E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that functions in regulating cell cycle transitions in proliferating cells by acting on cyclins and components of the mitotic/meiotic apparatus. Documentation of APC/C's action beyond cell division is sparse. In the past year, however, novel and surprising roles for APC/C in postmitotic neurons, particularly in the modulation of axonal growth and synaptic functions, have been revealed. APC/C and its activator Cdh-1 are found in good abundance in neurons, and these seem to function at different cellular locations, modulating apparently diverse processes such as axonal growth and synaptic function. Interestingly, there also appears to be a single link to these apparently divergent actions of APC/C in neurons--the multi-domain, multi-functional scaffolding protein Liprin-alpha which is an APC/C substrate.  相似文献
