Proteome analysis was performed on cellular and secreted proteins of normal (quiescent) activated rat hepatic stellate cells. The cells were either in vitro by cultivating quiescent for 9 days or vivo injecting rats with carbon tetrachloride 8 weeks. A total 43 proteins/polypeptides identified, which altered their expression levels when the and/or . Twenty-seven them showed similar changes , including up-regulated such as calcyclin, calgizzarin, galectin-1 well down-regulated liver...
This study developed an enzymatic method for high-throughput mapping of phosphoproteins on two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide gels. Proteins cultured rat skin fibroblasts were divided into two aliquots, one which was dephosphorylated using recombinant lambda protein phosphatase and the other not treated with enzyme. The aliquots then subjected to 2-D electrophoresis. Phosphoproteins could be mapped gel nontreated aliquot by comparing gels because in shifted more basic positions gel....
Several bisquinoline derivatives, N,N′-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)-N,N′-dialkylethylnediamines (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and t-butyl), have been synthesized their fluorescent responses toward zinc ion were investigated. These compounds exhibit ion-induced fluorescence intensities decrease as the alkyl groups become larger. The t-butyl derivative (BQDtBEN) exhibited negligible even in presence of ion. intensity complex (BQDMEN) is higher than that TQEN...
Alternaria brown spot, caused by the tangerine pathotype of alternata, is a serious disease commercially important tangerines and their hybrids. The pathogen produces host-selective ACT toxin, several genes (named ACTT) responsible for ACT-toxin biosynthesis have been identified. These many paralogs, which are clustered on small, conditionally dispensable chromosome, making it difficult to disrupt entire functional copies ACTT using homologous recombination-mediated gene disruption. To...
This study demonstrates structural and conformational characterization of proteins by nanoflow electrospray ionization (nanoESI) mass spectrometry (MS) tandem (MS/MS) utilizing a quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) spectrometer (Micromass, Manchester, England). Model peptides were successfully sequenced at the 35 attomole (amol) level, derived from tryptic in-gel digest 25 femtomole (fmol) bovine serum albumin (BSA) sequenced. The results demonstrated that MS/MS sensitivity Q-TOF clearly...
The rough lemon pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces host-selective ACR-toxin and causes leaf spot disease (Citrus jambhiri). structure I (MW = 496) consists a polyketide with an α-dihydropyrone ring in 19-carbon polyalcohol. Genes responsible for toxin production were localized to 1.5-Mb chromosome the genome pathotype. Sequence analysis this revealed 8,338-bp open reading frame, ACRTS2, that was present only genomes ACR-toxin-producing isolates. ACRTS2 is predicted encode putative...
The tangerine pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces host-selective ACT-toxin and causes brown spot disease hybrids. Sequence analysis a genomic BAC clone identified part the TOX (ACTT) gene cluster, knockout experiments have implicated several open reading frames (ORF) contained within cluster in biosynthesis ACT-toxin. One ORF, designated ACTTS3, encoding putative polyketide synthase, was isolated by rapid amplification cDNA ends genomic/reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions...
The tangerine pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces host-selective ACT-toxin and causes brown spot disease. Sequence analysis a genomic cosmid clone identified part the ACTT gene cluster implicated two genes, ACTT5 encoding an acyl-CoA synthetase ACTT6 enoyl-CoA hydratase, in biosynthesis ACT-toxin. Genomic Southern blots demonstrated that both genes were present isolates producing also Japanese pear AK-toxin strawberry AF-toxin. ACT-, AK-, AF-toxins from these three pathotypes share...

Optical properties such as optical absorption and radiophotoluminescence (RPL) spectra of silver (Ag+)-doped phosphate glass before after x-ray irradiation were investigated in this study. It is found that the RPL spectrum consists two emission bands which are peaked at 2.70 eV (460 nm blue emission) 2.21 (560 yellow emission). also intensity gradually increases with dose. From results it suggested origin each 460 560 band ascribed to Ag0 ion Ag2+ ion, respectively, produced by irradiation....
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is an alternative endodontic material that predicts conductive or inductive calcified tissue formation from immature pulp mesenchymal stem cells (IPMSCs). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether MTA could promote reparative odontoblast differentiation via IPMSCs in the early phase regeneration and compare with calcium hydroxide (CH). Direct capping using (CH), MTA, platelet-rich plasma (MTA + PRP) performed on maxillary first molars 8-week-old...
