چکیده

The effects of the mouse major histocompatibility complex, H-2, on phospholipid methyltransferase I and II activities were investigated on hepatocyte membranes from inbred, congenic and recombinant strains. Each methyltransferase was assayed individually by measuring the incorporation of radiolabel from S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-3H]methionine into endogenous phospholipids. Our results indicate that H-2 exerted a significant effect on methyltransferase I but not on methyltransferase II activity. Thus, as in lower eukaryotes, two distinct enzymes were involved in methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to phosphatidylcholine (PC). In addition, this effect was localized to the K end of the major histocompatibility complex by the use of recombinant haplotypes.

Genetic diversity in the Persian sturgeon, Acipenser percicus, from the south Caspian Sea based on mitochondrial DNA sequences of the control region

The Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus (Borodin, 1897), is an economically important species, which mainly inhabits the Caspian Sea. However, little is known about its population genetic structure. In this study, variation in nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of wild stock Persian sturgeon was determined to assess the genetic diversity among different natura...
