Spectrin assembly in avian erythroid development is determined by competing reactions of subunit homo- and hetero-oligomerization 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Erythroid differentiation entails the biogenesis of a membrane skeleton, a network of proteins underlying and interacting with the plasma membrane, whose major constituent is the heterodimeric protein spectrin, composed of two structurally similar but distinct subunits, alpha (relative molecular mass (Mr) 240,000) and beta (Mr 220,000), which interact side-on with each other to form a long rod-like molecule. Interaction of this network with the membrane is mediated by the binding of the beta subunit to ankyrin, which in turn binds to the cytoplasmic domain of the transmembrane anion transporter (also referred to as band 3). Purified alpha and beta subunits of spectrin from the membrane of mature red blood cells will spontaneously heterodimerize, suggesting that assembly of the spectrin-actin skeleton is a simple self-assembly process, but in vivo studies with developing chicken embryo erythroid cells have indicated that assembly in vivo is more complex. We now present evidence that newly synthesized spectrin subunits in vivo or in vitro rapidly adopt one of two competing conformations, a heterodimer or a homo-oligomer. These competing reactions seem to determine the overall extent of spectrin assembled during erythroid development by determining which conformation will assemble onto the membrane-skeleton (the heterodimer) and which conformations are targeted for degradation (the homo-oligomers). 相似文献

Somatomedins (SM) or insulin-like growth factors (IGF) constitute a heterogeneous group of peptides with important growth-promoting effects in vitro as well as in vivo. Amino acid sequences have been determined for only two of them, IGF-I and IGF-II, which are highly homologous. IGF-I, which is identical with SM-C, is composed of 70 amino acid residues and IGF-II contains 73 amino acids and may be identical with SM-A. Other peptides with different charge properties but with similar SM-like or insulin-like behaviour in biological and receptor assays, have been described but have not yet been fully characterized. The liver is known to be a major site of production of these peptides, but many other tissues--especially in the fetus--may synthesize them as well. We report here the nucleotide sequence of a human liver cDNA encoding the complete amino acid sequence of IGF-I. The IGF-I coding region is flanked by sequences encoding an amino-terminal peptide of at least 25 amino acid residues and a carboxyl-terminal peptide of 35 amino acids. This provides evidence that IGF-I is synthesized as a precursor protein and that formation of IGF-I from this precursor requires proteolytic processing at both ends. 相似文献

The Sxr (sex-reversed) region, a fragment of the Y chromosome short arm, can cause chromosomally female XXSxr or XSxrO mice to develop as sterile males. The original Sxr region, termed Sxra, encodes: Tdy, the primary sex-determining gene; Hya, the controlling or structural locus for the minor transplantation antigen H-Y; gene(s) controlling the expression of the serologically detected male antigen (SDMA); Spy, a gene(s) required for the survival and proliferation of A spermatogonia during spermatogenesis; Zfy-1/Zfy-2, zinc-finger-containing genes of unknown function; and Sry, which is probably identical to Tdy. A deletion variant of Sxra, termed Sxrb, which lacks Hya, SDMA expression, Spy and some Zfy-2 sequences, makes positional cloning of these genes possible. We report here the isolation of a new testis-specific gene, Sby, mapping to the DNA deleted from the Sxrb region (the delta Sxrb interval). Sby has extensive homology to the X-linked human ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1. The critical role of this enzyme in nuclear DNA replication together with the testis-specific expression of Sby suggests Sby as a candidate for the spermatogenic gene Spy. 相似文献

空间低频滤波对人类整体和局部知觉的影响 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
利用功能磁共振(fMRI)测量血液动力学反应, 研究空间低频滤波对周边视觉加工刺激整体和局部性质的神经机制的影响. 实验中使用的复合字母具有宽带空间频率成分(宽带刺激)或通过反差平衡技术滤除其空间低频成分(CB刺激), 随机呈现在左或右视野. 被试分别辨别复合字母的整体和局部形状. 实验发现, 与注意局部性质相比, 注意宽带或CB刺激的整体性质在中央枕区皮层引起更强的激活. 注意整体性质还在右侧颞顶联合区(宽带刺激)和右侧梭状回(CB刺激)引起更强的激活. 注意CB刺激的局部性质激活中央额区、双侧额下回和双侧颞上回. 根据这些结果讨论了整体和局部性质加工的相互竞争对参与整体和局部加工的脑区的影响. 相似文献
