As well as the high velocity expansion features already known in the inner parts of the galaxy, there also seem to be expansion features at low velocities. Two new features with velocities of -27 km s(-1) and -14 km s(-1) at a distance of about 4.5 kpc are identified in this article and their relationship to the other expanding features is discussed. 相似文献

The typically distinct phospholipid composition of the two leaflets of a membrane bilayer is generated and maintained by bi-directional
transport (flip-flop) of lipids between the leaflets. Specific membrane proteins, termed lipid flippases, play an essential
role in this transport process. Energy-independent flippases allow common phospholipids to equilibrate rapidly between the
two monolayers and also play a role in the biosynthesis of a variety of glycoconjugates such as glycosphingolipids, N-glycoproteins, and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. ATP-dependent flippases, including members of a
conserved subfamily of P-type ATPases and ATP-binding cassette transporters, mediate the net transfer of specific phospholipids
to one leaflet of a membrane and are involved in the creation and maintenance of transbilayer lipid asymmetry of membranes
such as the plasma membrane of eukaryotes. Energy-dependent flippases also play a role in the biosynthesis of glycoconjugates
such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide. This review summarizes recent progress on the identification and characterization of
the various flippases and the demonstration of their biological functions.

Protein N-glycosylation requires flipping of the glycolipid Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-diphosphate dolichol (Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol) across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Helenius et al. report genetic evidence suggesting that Rft1, an essential ER membrane protein in yeast, is required directly to translocate Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol. We now show that a specific ER protein(s), but not Rft1, is required to flip Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol in reconstituted vesicles. Rft1 may have a critical accessory role in translocating Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol in vivo, but the Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol flippase itself remains to be identified. 相似文献

Recently, we identified recurrent gene fusions involving the 5' untranslated region of the androgen-regulated gene TMPRSS2 and the ETS (E26 transformation-specific) family genes ERG, ETV1 or ETV4 in most prostate cancers. Whereas TMPRSS2-ERG fusions are predominant, fewer TMPRSS2-ETV1 cases have been identified than expected on the basis of the frequency of high (outlier) expression of ETV1 (refs 3-13). Here we explore the mechanism of ETV1 outlier expression in human prostate tumours and prostate cancer cell lines. We identified previously unknown 5' fusion partners in prostate tumours with ETV1 outlier expression, including untranslated regions from a prostate-specific androgen-induced gene (SLC45A3) and an endogenous retroviral element (HERV-K_22q11.23), a prostate-specific androgen-repressed gene (C15orf21), and a strongly expressed housekeeping gene (HNRPA2B1). To study aberrant activation of ETV1, we identified two prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP and MDA-PCa 2B, that had ETV1 outlier expression. Through distinct mechanisms, the entire ETV1 locus (7p21) is rearranged to a 1.5-megabase prostate-specific region at 14q13.3-14q21.1 in both LNCaP cells (cryptic insertion) and MDA-PCa 2B cells (balanced translocation). Because the common factor of these rearrangements is aberrant ETV1 overexpression, we recapitulated this event in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating that ETV1 overexpression in benign prostate cells and in the mouse prostate confers neoplastic phenotypes. Identification of distinct classes of ETS gene rearrangements demonstrates that dormant oncogenes can be activated in prostate cancer by juxtaposition to tissue-specific or ubiquitously active genomic loci. Subversion of active genomic regulatory elements may serve as a more generalized mechanism for carcinoma development. Furthermore, the identification of androgen-repressed and insensitive 5' fusion partners may have implications for the anti-androgen treatment of advanced prostate cancer. 相似文献
