Effects of ubiquitin-protea-some pathway on mouse sperm capacitation, acrosome reaction and in vitro fertilization

Chlortetracycline (CTC) fluorescence patterns were used to study changes in the patterns B and AR of mouse sperm after incubation with reagents that would block the UPP. They were the monoclonal antibody against ubiquitinated proteins-UCP1; the polyclonal antibody against ubiquitin anti-Ub, and a special inhibitor against proteasome ALLN. Furthermore, we treated the capacitated sperm or the eggs with these reagents separately and tested whether the normal in vitro fertilization was blocked or not. Results illustrate that UCP1, anti-Ub, and ALLN have little effects on sperm capacitation and acrosome reaction,but they do inhibit fusion of mouse sperm with eggs, which suggests that UPP play an important role in mouse in vitro fertilization.``

The pleiotropic functions of aspirin: mechanisms of action

Recent studies have suggested that aspirin and aspirin-like compounds have a variety of actions in addition to their well-studied ability to inhibit cyclooxygenases. These actions include inhibition of the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, decreases in adenosine triphosphate stores, increases in extracellular adenosine, downregulation of the expression and activity of inducible nitric oxide synthetase, inhibition and/or stimulation of various mitogen-activated protein kinase activities and inhibition of nuclear factor binding κB site (NF-κB) activation. Moreover, aspirin-like compounds have recently been shown to have previously unappreciated clinical and biological effects, some apparently independent of cyclooxygenase. In this review we discuss the various mechanisms of action of aspirin-like compounds and their relevance to clinical disease and therapy.

MAP kinases in plant signal transduction

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are modules involved in the transduction of extracellular signals to intracellular targets in all eukaryotes. Distinct MAPK pathways are regulated by different extracellular stimuli and are implicated in a wide variety of biological processes. In plants there is evidence for MAPKs playing a role in the signaling of abiotic stresses, pathogens and plant hormones. The large number and divergence of plant MAPKs indicates that this ancient mechanism of bioinformatics is extensively used in plants and may provide a new molecular handle on old questions.     

Oxygen intervention in the regulation of gene expression: the photosynthetic bacterial paradigm

The means by which oxygen intervenes in gene expression has been examined in considerable detail in the metabolically versatile bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Three regulatory systems are now known in this organism, which are used singly and in combination to modulate genes in response to changing oxygen availability. The outcome of these regulatory events is that the molecular machinery is present for the cell to obtain energy by means that are best suited to prevailing conditions, while at the same time maintaining cellular redox balance. Here, we explore the dangers associated with molecular oxygen relative to the various metabolisms used by R. sphaeroides, and then present the most recent findings regarding the features and operation of each of the three regulatory systems which collectively mediate oxygen control in this organism.Received 26 June 2003; received after revision 30 July 2003; accepted 8 August 2003
