The genome of Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus important for the production of traditional fermented foods and beverages in Japan, has been sequenced. The ability to secrete large amounts of proteins and the development of a transformation system have facilitated the use of A. oryzae in modern biotechnology. Although both A. oryzae and Aspergillus flavus belong to the section Flavi of the subgenus Circumdati of Aspergillus, A. oryzae, unlike A. flavus, does not produce aflatoxin, and its long history of use in the food industry has proved its safety. Here we show that the 37-megabase (Mb) genome of A. oryzae contains 12,074 genes and is expanded by 7-9 Mb in comparison with the genomes of Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus. Comparison of the three aspergilli species revealed the presence of syntenic blocks and A. oryzae-specific blocks (lacking synteny with A. nidulans and A. fumigatus) in a mosaic manner throughout the genome of A. oryzae. The blocks of A. oryzae-specific sequence are enriched for genes involved in metabolism, particularly those for the synthesis of secondary metabolites. Specific expansion of genes for secretory hydrolytic enzymes, amino acid metabolism and amino acid/sugar uptake transporters supports the idea that A. oryzae is an ideal microorganism for fermentation. 相似文献

Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)Rs) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are tetrameric intracellular Ca(2+) channels. In each of these receptor families, the pore, which is formed by carboxy-terminal transmembrane domains, is regulated by signals that are detected by large cytosolic structures. InsP(3)R gating is initiated by InsP(3) binding to the InsP(3)-binding core (IBC, residues 224-604 of InsP(3)R1) and it requires the suppressor domain (SD, residues 1-223 of InsP(3)R1). Here we present structures of the amino-terminal region (NT, residues 1-604) of rat InsP(3)R1 with (3.6??) and without (3.0??) InsP(3) bound. The arrangement of the three NT domains, SD, IBC-β and IBC-α, identifies two discrete interfaces (α and β) between the IBC and SD. Similar interfaces occur between equivalent domains (A, B and C) in RyR1 (ref. 9). The orientations of the three domains when docked into a tetrameric structure of InsP(3)R and of the ABC domains docked into RyR are remarkably similar. The importance of the α-interface for activation of InsP(3)R and RyR is confirmed by mutagenesis and, for RyR, by disease-causing mutations. Binding of InsP(3) causes partial closure of the clam-like IBC, disrupting the β-interface and pulling the SD towards the IBC. This reorients an exposed SD loop ('hotspot' (HS) loop) that is essential for InsP(3)R activation. The loop is conserved in RyR and includes mutations that are associated with malignant hyperthermia and central core disease. The HS loop interacts with an adjacent NT, suggesting that activation re-arranges inter-subunit interactions. The A domain of RyR functionally replaced the SD in full-length InsP(3)R, and an InsP(3)R in which its C-terminal transmembrane region was replaced by that from RyR1 was gated by InsP(3) and blocked by ryanodine. Activation mechanisms are conserved between InsP(3)R and RyR. Allosteric modulation of two similar domain interfaces within an N-terminal subunit reorients the first domain (SD or A domain), allowing it, through interactions of the second domain of an adjacent subunit (IBC-β or B domain), to gate the pore. 相似文献

Structural view of cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Following the multiplication of biochemical, biophysical and structural studies describing cadherin molecules and their interactions,
several ideas have emerged to explain the mechanisms of cadherin-mediated cell adhesion. Although different models were proposed
for cadherin interactions, a consensus has come forth considering lateral dimerization of cadherins as being a central component
of the cell-cell adhesion process. This review summarizes the recent development in structural studies of cadherins.

Summary Urinary melatonin excretion is lower in East-Asian (Japanese) than in North-American (whites of mixed ethnic origin) women. Moreover, a statistically significant circadian rhythm is demonstrated by population-mean cosinor in the data pool from both groups of women. Furthermore, statistical significance characterizes interactions of effects from geographic differences (between ethnic groups) with temporal factors. Such spatio-temporal interactions await further scrutiny with a view inter alia of carcinogenesis as it is influenced by a spectrum of intermodulating rhythms.Supported by U.S. Public Health Service (5-K6-GM-13981-17), National Cancer Institute (1R01-CA-14445-05 and N01-CP-5-5702), National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (OH-00631-01), National Institute of Aging (AG-00158), Environmental Protection Agency (R804513-01-0), Swedish Medical Research Council grant 3371 and the St Paul Ramsey Medical Research and Education Foundation.

Kinesin-1 (conventional kinesin) is a dimeric motor protein that carries cellular cargoes along microtubules by hydrolysing ATP and moving processively in 8-nm steps. The mechanism of processive motility involves the hand-over-hand motion of the two motor domains ('heads'), a process driven by a conformational change in the neck-linker domain of kinesin. However, the 'waiting conformation' of kinesin between steps remains controversial-some models propose that kinesin adopts a one-head-bound intermediate, whereas others suggest that both the kinesin heads are bound to adjacent tubulin subunits. Addressing this question has proved challenging, in part because of a lack of tools to measure structural states of the kinesin dimer as it moves along a microtubule. Here we develop two different single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) sensors to detect whether kinesin is bound to its microtubule track by one or two heads. Our FRET results indicate that, while moving in the presence of saturating ATP, kinesin spends most of its time bound to the microtubule with both heads. However, when nucleotide binding becomes rate-limiting at low ATP concentrations, kinesin waits for ATP in a one-head-bound state and makes brief transitions to a two-head-bound intermediate as it walks along the microtubule. On the basis of these results, we suggest a model for how transitions in the ATPase cycle position the two kinesin heads and drive their hand-over-hand motion. 相似文献

Efficient phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is crucial for tissue homeostasis and the immune response. Rab5 is known as a key regulator of the early endocytic pathway and we have recently shown that Rab5 is also implicated in apoptotic cell engulfment; however, the precise spatio-temporal dynamics of Rab5 activity remain unknown. Here, using a newly developed fluorescence resonance energy transfer biosensor, we describe a change in Rab5 activity during the engulfment of apoptotic thymocytes. Rab5 activity on phagosome membranes began to increase on disassembly of the actin coat encapsulating phagosomes. Rab5 activation was either continuous or repetitive for up to 10 min, but it ended before the collapse of engulfed apoptotic cells. Expression of a dominant-negative mutant of Rab5 delayed this collapse of apoptotic thymocytes, showing a role for Rab5 in phagosome maturation. Disruption of microtubules with nocodazole inhibited Rab5 activation on the phagosome membrane without perturbing the engulfment of apoptotic cells. Furthermore, we found that Gapex-5 is the guanine nucleotide exchange factor essential for Rab5 activation during the engulfment of apoptotic cells. Gapex-5 was bound to a microtubule-tip-associating protein, EB1, whose depletion inhibited Rab5 activation during phagocytosis. We therefore propose a mechanistic model in which the recruitment of Gapex-5 to phagosomes through the microtubule network induces the transient Rab5 activation. 相似文献

In view of the importance of ocean component for representing climate change, efforts are underway to implement a high-resolution nesting model system in Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MI- ROC) for the North Pacific using the same ocean model as used in the coupled model MIROC5. By comparing double (10 km for the northwestern Pacific, 50 km for the rest of the Pacific) and triple (double nesting plus 2 km resolution near Japan) nesting, it turns out that relative vorticity is drastically enhanced near Japan with 2 km resolution. It is hoped that such an elaborated nesting system will reveal detailed processes for the ocean heat uptake by, e.g., intermediate water and mode water formation for which the"perturbed region" near Japan is the key region. 相似文献

以热释电效应用于低温余热动力回收为背景,对采用40 μm厚的热释电材料共聚物偏氟乙烯-三氟乙烯(P(VDF-TrFE)(60/40))薄膜作工作介质的热释电转换循环进行了实验研究.实验结果表明:在避免失去自发极化的适宜工况条件下,可以直接实现连续的热释电转换循环;施加电压对热释电电流和热释电转换输出的电能密度都有较大的影响,在相同的温度范围和变化率下,随着施加电压的增加,热释电电流增大;提高低端电压和高低端压差有利于增加输出电能密度.在温度为40~70 ℃的范围内,当高端电压为900 V(电场强度为225 kV/cm)时,热释电转换净输出电能密度(单位体积热释电材料所生产的电能)可达40 mJ/cm3.这种热释电转换将在低温余热动力回收领域具有可能的应用前景. 相似文献
