The early Universe had a chemical composition consisting of hydrogen, helium and traces of lithium; almost all other elements were subsequently created in stars and supernovae. The mass fraction of elements more massive than helium, Z, is known as 'metallicity'. A number of very metal-poor stars has been found, some of which have a low iron abundance but are rich in carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. For theoretical reasons and because of an observed absence of stars with Z?1.5?×?10(-5), it has been suggested that low-mass stars cannot form from the primitive interstellar medium until it has been enriched above a critical value of Z, estimated to lie in the range 1.5?×?10(-8) to 1.5?×?10(-6) (ref. 8), although competing theories claiming the contrary do exist. (We use 'low-mass' here to mean a stellar mass of less than 0.8 solar masses, the stars that survive to the present day.) Here we report the chemical composition of a star in the Galactic halo with a very low Z (≤?6.9?×?10(-7), which is 4.5?×?10(-5) times that of the Sun) and a chemical pattern typical of classical extremely metal-poor stars--that is, without enrichment of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. This shows that low-mass stars can be formed at very low metallicity, that is, below the critical value of Z. Lithium is not detected, suggesting a low-metallicity extension of the previously observed trend in lithium depletion. Such lithium depletion implies that the stellar material must have experienced temperatures above two million kelvin in its history, given that this is necessary to destroy lithium. 相似文献

What I call theoretical abduction (sentential and model-based)certainly illustrates much of what is important in abductive reasoning, especially the objective of selecting and creating a set of hypotheses that are able to dispense good (preferred) explanations of data, but fails to account for many cases of explanation occurring in science or in everyday reasoning when the exploitation of the environment is crucial. The concept of manipulative abduction is devoted to capture the role of action in many interesting situations: action provides otherwise unavailable information that enables the agent to solve problems by starting and performing a suitable abductive process of generation or selection of hypotheses. Many external things, usually inert from the epistemological point of view, can be transformed into what I callepistemic mediators, which are illustrated in the last part of the paper, together with an analysis of the related notions of ``perceptual and inceptual rehearsal' and of ``external representation'. 相似文献

Nuclear gene OPA1, encoding a mitochondrial dynamin-related protein, is mutated in dominant optic atrophy 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

Optic atrophy type 1 (OPA1, MIM 165500) is a dominantly inherited optic neuropathy occurring in 1 in 50,000 individuals that features progressive loss in visual acuity leading, in many cases, to legal blindness. Phenotypic variations and loss of retinal ganglion cells, as found in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), have suggested possible mitochondrial impairment. The OPA1 gene has been localized to 3q28-q29 (refs 13-19). We describe here a nuclear gene, OPA1, that maps within the candidate region and encodes a dynamin-related protein localized to mitochondria. We found four different OPA1 mutations, including frameshift and missense mutations, to segregate with the disease, demonstrating a role for mitochondria in retinal ganglion cell pathophysiology. 相似文献

Cell-cycle checkpoints help to protect the genomes of proliferating cells under genotoxic stress. In multicellular organisms, cell proliferation is often directed toward differentiation during development and throughout adult homeostasis. To prevent the formation of differentiated cells with genetic instability, we hypothesized that genotoxic stress may trigger a differentiation checkpoint. Here we show that exposure to genotoxic agents causes a reversible inhibition of myogenic differentiation. Muscle-specific gene expression is suppressed by DNA-damaging agents if applied prior to differentiation induction but not after the differentiation program is established. The myogenic determination factor, MyoD (encoded by Myod1), is a target of the differentiation checkpoint in myoblasts. The inhibition of MyoD by DNA damage requires a functional c-Abl tyrosine kinase (encoded by Abl1), but occurs in cells deficient for p53 (transformation-related protein 53, encoded by Trp53) or c-Jun (encoded by the oncogene Jun). These results support the idea that genotoxic stress can regulate differentiation, and identify a new biological function for DNA damage-activated signaling network. 相似文献

We tested the attraction of volatile compounds, produced by the aerobic growth ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae on saccharose forTriatoma infestans. For these tests, we exploited the behavioural characteristic of these haematophagous insects of dropping when searching for food. In olfactometer assays, yeast cultures activated and attracted bugs as effectively as a mouse. The attraction of the cultures was significantly reduced when the carbon dioxide released was partially eliminated using potassium hydroxide. Yeast cultures were also tested as lures in a novel trap device. A baited device for trapping Chagas' disease vectors using the behavioural peculiarities ofT. infestans and this simple attractant is described. 相似文献

Since their initial discovery, 30 years ago, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been intensely investigated as a possible
solution to the increasing problem of drug-resistant bacteria. The interaction of antimicrobial peptides with the cellular
membrane of bacteria is the key step of their mechanism of action. Fluorescence spectroscopy can provide several structural
details on peptide–membrane systems, such as partition free energy, aggregation state, peptide position and orientation in
the bilayer, and the effects of the peptides on the membrane order. However, these “low-resolution” structural data are hardly
sufficient to define the structural requirements for the pore formation process. Molecular dynamics simulations, on the other
hand, provide atomic-level information on the structure and dynamics of the peptide–membrane system, but they need to be validated
experimentally. In this review we summarize the information that can be obtained by both approaches, highlighting their versatility
and complementarity, suggesting that their synergistic application could lead to a new level of insight into the mechanism
of membrane destabilization by AMPs. 相似文献
