The human intercellular adhesion molecules ICAM-1, ICAM-2 and their counter-receptors, the beta 2 or leukointegrins, mediate a variety of homotypic and heterotypic leukocyte and endothelial cell-cell adhesions central to immunocompetence. It has been found that cell-cell adhesion which is dependent on expression of the leukocyte function-associated antigen LFA-1 is not always blocked completely by antibodies raised against ICAM-1 and ICAM-2. Other leukointegrin ligands therefore probably exist, such as a glycoprotein of M(r) 124K that binds LFA-1 and has been designated ICAM-3 on the basis of this function. We have molecularly cloned a new member of the ICAM family, ICAM-R, which is related to ICAM-1 and ICAM-2. The complementary DNA encoding ICAM-R is 1,781 base pairs long and the protein has five extracellular immunoglobulin-family type domains. The mature cell-surface form of the ICAM-R protein has an M(r) which varies from 116 to 140K in a cell type-specific fashion. Overall identities in protein sequence with ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 are 48% and 31% respectively, with the degree of similarity varying between individual domains. The high level of expression of ICAM-R on resting leukocytes of all lineages and its lack of expression on either resting or cytokine-activated endothelial cells indicates a pattern of expression distinct from ICAM-1 and ICAM-2. In common with ICAM-1 and ICAM-2, ICAM-R is a ligand for the beta 2-integrin CD11a/LFA-1 (CD18). 相似文献

Crustaceans have long been used for peptide research. For example, the process of neurosecretion was first formally demonstrated
in the crustacean X-organ–sinus gland system, and the first fully characterized invertebrate neuropeptide was from a shrimp.
Moreover, the crustacean stomatogastric and cardiac nervous systems have long served as models for understanding the general
principles governing neural circuit functioning, including modulation by peptides. Here, we review the basic biology of crustacean
neuropeptides, discuss methodologies currently driving their discovery, provide an overview of the known families, and summarize
recent data on their control of physiology and behavior. 相似文献

The diffuse extragalactic background light consists of the sum of the starlight emitted by galaxies through the history of the Universe, and it could also have an important contribution from the 'first stars', which may have formed before galaxy formation began. Direct measurements are difficult and not yet conclusive, owing to the large uncertainties caused by the bright foreground emission associated with zodiacal light. An alternative approach is to study the absorption features imprinted on the gamma-ray spectra of distant extragalactic objects by interactions of those photons with the background light photons. Here we report the discovery of gamma-ray emission from the blazars H 2356 - 309 and 1ES 1101 - 232, at redshifts z = 0.165 and z = 0.186, respectively. Their unexpectedly hard spectra provide an upper limit on the background light at optical/near-infrared wavelengths that appears to be very close to the lower limit given by the integrated light of resolved galaxies. The background flux at these wavelengths accordingly seems to be strongly dominated by the direct starlight from galaxies, thus excluding a large contribution from other sources-in particular from the first stars formed. This result also indicates that intergalactic space is more transparent to gamma-rays than previously thought. 相似文献

The Hubble Deep Field provides one of the deepest multiwavelength views of the distant Universe and has led to the detection of thousands of galaxies seen throughout cosmic time. An early map of the Hubble Deep Field at a wavelength of 850?micrometres, which is sensitive to dust emission powered by star formation, revealed the brightest source in the field, dubbed HDF?850.1 (ref. 2). For more than a decade, and despite significant efforts, no counterpart was found at shorter wavelengths, and it was not possible to determine its redshift, size or mass. Here we report a redshift of z = 5.183 for HDF?850.1, from a millimetre-wave molecular line scan. This places HDF?850.1 in a galaxy overdensity at z?≈?5.2, corresponding to a cosmic age of only 1.1?billion years after the Big Bang. This redshift is significantly higher than earlier estimates and higher than those of most of the hundreds of submillimetre-bright galaxies identified so far. The source has a star-formation rate of 850 solar masses per year and is spatially resolved on scales of 5 kiloparsecs, with an implied dynamical mass of about 1.3?×?10(11) solar masses, a significant fraction of which is present in the form of molecular gas. Despite our accurate determination of redshift and position, a counterpart emitting starlight remains elusive. 相似文献
