Chitin is a major molecular pattern for various fungi, and its fragments, chitin oligosaccharides, are known to induce defense responses in plant cells. A plasma membrane glycoprotein, CEBiP (chitin elicitor binding protein) receptor kinase, CERK1 kinase) (also as LysM-RLK1), were identified critical components signaling rice Arabidopsis, respectively. However, it not whether each species requires both of these two types molecules signaling, nor the relationships between signaling. We report...
ABSTRACT Citrinin produced by Aspergillus , Penicillium and Monascus species is a polyketide compound that has nephrotoxic activity in mammals bactericidal toward gram-positive bacteria. To avoid the risk of citrinin contamination other fermentation products purpureus knowledge biosynthetic genes needed so citrinin-nonproducing strains can be generated. We cloned synthase (PKS) gene from M. with degenerate primers designed to amplify conserved region ketosynthase domain fungal PKS. A 13-kb...
ABSTRACT Multi-level cervical spondylosis and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) are well-documented causes myelopathy. The choice surgical procedures remain controversial. Between January 1983 December 1987, we have performed anterior vertebrectomy in 45 patients with myelopathy caused by multi-level OPLL. They consisted 19 spondylosis, 12 OPLL, 14 combined lesions both There were 32 men 13 women. mean age was 55 years, ranging from 35 to 70 years. In all our...
A characteristic increase in multiple-unit activity (MUA volley) synchronized with the pulsatile secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) by pituitary gland was recorded from electrodes chronically implanted medial basal hypothalamus ovariectomized goats. The MUA volley always preceded LH pulse, and temporal correlation consistent even when pulse frequency altered an anesthetic or exogenous steroids. electrophysiological manifestation hypothalamic 'pulse generator' governing...
ABSTRACT Citrinin, a secondary fungal metabolite of polyketide origin, is moderately nephrotoxic to vertebrates, including humans. From the red-pigment producer Monascus purpureus , 21-kbp region flanking pksCT which encodes citrinin synthase, was cloned. Four open reading frames (ORFs) ( orf1 orf2 orf3 and orf4 ) in 5′-flanking one ORF orf5 3′-flanking were identified vicinity pksCT. encode homolog dehydrogenase (similarity, 46%), regulator 38%), an oxygenase 41%), oxidoreductase 26%),...
This study was conducted to estimate the effects of kisspeptin-10 on blood concentrations LH and GH in prepubertal dairy heifers. Heifers received a single injection 1 mg (n=5) or saline intravenously, serial samples were collected at 15-min intervals analyze response curves both after injection. Peak-shaped responses observed for GH, peaks 27+/-3 75+/-9 min, respectively, injection, only heifers injected with kisspeptin-10. These data suggest various possible important links among...
Lysin motif (LysM) receptor-like kinase CERK1 is a co-receptor essential for plant immune responses against carbohydrate microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Concerning the immediate downstream signaling components of CERK1, cytoplasmic kinases such as PBL27 and other RLCK VII members have been reported to regulate positively. In this study, we report that novel CERK1-interacting E3 ubiquitin ligase, PUB4, also involved in regulation MAMP-triggered responses. Knockout PUB4 resulted...
RNA silencing acts as a defense mechanism against virus infection in wide variety of organisms. Here, we investigated inductions encapsidated double-stranded (dsRNA) fungal viruses (mycoviruses), including partitivirus (RnPV1), quadrivirus (RnQV1), victorivirus (RnVV1), mycoreovirus (RnMyRV3), and megabirnavirus (RnMBV1) the phytopathogenic fungus Rosellinia necatrix Expression profiling silencing-related genes revealed that dicer-like gene, an Argonaute-like two RNA-dependent polymerase...
Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during controlled hemorrhagic hypotension (140–20 mm Hg) was assessed 10–14 days after chronic unilateral sectioning of parasympathetic and/or sensory fibers innervating pial vessels in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). rCBF measured the cortical barrel fields bilaterally by laser Doppler flowmetry. Immunohistochemistry middle artery (MCA) whole mount preparations used to verify surgical lesion. During hypotension, equivalent on two sides shams,...
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis is useful in developing effective control methods for fungal diseases. The white root rot fungus Rosellinia necatrix a soilborne pathogen that causes serious economic losses various crops, including fruit trees, worldwide. Here, using next-generation sequencing techniques, we first produced 44-Mb draft genome sequence R. strain W97, an isolate from Japan, which 12,444 protein-coding genes were predicted. To survey differentially...
Ventriculoperitoneal shunting has been accepted as a safe and useful preliminary procedure that lowers the mortality morbidity of definitive surgery for tumors causing obstructive hydrocephalus. We are reporting four patients with intratumoral hemorrhage complication shunting. The was massive fatal in two patients, one an unverified pineal tumor other malignant astrocytoma thalamus. small limited glioblastoma thalamus cerebellar astrocytoma. On basis this experience, we conclude possibility...
Background and Purpose —We report the first case of pituitary apoplexy caused by rupture an intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm embedded in a adenoma. Case Description —A 46-year-old man presented with clinical CT findings typical apoplexy. MRI showed unusual flow-void protrusion into intratumoral hematoma, which, however, was not diagnosed as ruptured until severe intraoperative bleeding occurred. Angiography after surgery revealed aneurysm. Conclusions —The possible association adenoma...
Glycoconjugates and glycogen obtained from the cervix uteri of nonpregnant women proliferative phase secretory phase, postpartum were determined by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate membrane chemical analysis before after enzymatic digestion nitrous acid treatment. Although contents neutral glycopeptide fraction in these tissues similar, content tissue greatly decreased. The terms hexosamine hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate acidic glycopeptides increased comparison...
Leaf trichomes confer pest resistance. Dense could also present a physical barrier to microorganisms, such as grapevine downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola on grape. Zoospores of P. swim in water and enter stomata. Some wild Vitis accessions V. labrusca cinerea have highly hydrophobic, dense, prostrate the lower leaf surface that repel enhance resistance mildew. Quantitative trait loci for trichome density been identified LGs 5, 7, 8, 15 grapevine. A major locus LG 5 was found...
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons were examined immunohistochemical-ly in the brain of mature female Shiba goats with a monoclonal antibody to GnRH (LRH-13, Park and Wakabayashi, Endocrinol.Jpn. 33: 257-272, 1986). In all animals, immunoreactive exhibited complex morphology consisting round (49.6%), multipolar (39.8%) or fusiform (10.6%) cell bodies fibers beaded varicosities. distributed rostrally from diagonal band Broca medial septum, passing through lateral preoptic areas,...
