Lysis of yeast cell walls induced by 2-deoxyglucose at their sites of glucan synthesis.
Six sites of 2-deoxyglucose (2DG)-induced lysis on three yeasts (Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Pichia farinosa, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) coincided with the regions of growth of their glucan layers. Identification of the glucan layer as the site of lysis suggests a mechanism of attack by 2DG or by its derivatives. It is proposed that the glucan layer grows by addition of glucose into internal ...
متن کاملPhysiological characterization of gamma-ray induced salt tolerant rice mutants
High salinity in soil is one of the major abiotic stresses leading to the reduction of rice yield. In this study, two salt-tolerant rice mutants induced by gamma-irradiation were selected for in vivo and vitro screening techniques, and their physiological characteristics were evaluated. Using a salt stress screening based on the Standard Evaluation System, 2 candidate lines for salt tolerance (...
متن کاملGenes Controlling 2-deoxyglucose Induced Lysis and Formation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells of strains each carrying a deletion of one of the genes snf5, ypa1, pho7 and pas1 and of a strain overexpressing gene odr1, have been previously shown to grow in presence of the toxic glucose analogue 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG). Here we report that these genes control 2-DG induced lysis and are, with the exception of odr1, also involved in control of formation of reac...
متن کاملNK cells that are activated by CXCL10 can kill dormant tumor cells that resist CTL-mediated lysis and can express B7-H1 that stimulates T cells.
Tumor dormancy is a phenomenon where small numbers of tumor cells persist in the host for months or years. We previously showed in the DA1-3b/C3H mouse model of acute myeloid leukemia that dormant tumor cells resist cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated killing because they overexpress B7-H1. Here, we vaccinated mice with DA1-3b cells transduced with CXCL10. Vaccinated mice developed a strong s...
متن کاملCharacterization of superoxide dismutase in the rumen bacterium Streptococcus bovis
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) isoenzymes of the rumen bacterium Streptococcus bovis 4/1 were studied. Native PAGE showed a single band of Mn-SOD, unaffected by 10 mM cyanide or 5 mM hydrogen peroxide under both aerobic and anaerobic growth conditions. When the metals were removed from the growth medium by Chelex 100, the addition of manganese increased enzymatic activity, while addition of iron in...
