Carotenoids Database: structures, chemical fingerprints and distribution among organisms
To promote understanding of how organisms are related via carotenoids, either evolutionarily or symbiotically, or in food chains through natural histories, we built the Carotenoids Database. This provides chemical information on 1117 natural carotenoids with 683 source organisms. For extracting organisms closely related through the biosynthesis of carotenoids, we offer a new similarity search s...
متن کاملIntracellular trafficking of hyaluronic acid-chitosan oligomer-based nanoparticles in cultured human ocular surface cells
PURPOSE Nanoparticles are a promising alternative for ocular drug delivery, and our group has proposed that they are especially suited for ocular mucosal disorders. The goal of the present study was to determine which internalization pathway is used by cornea-derived and conjunctiva-derived cell lines to take up hyaluronic acid (HA)-chitosan oligomer (CSO)-based nanoparticles (HA-CSO NPs). We a...
متن کاملEvolution of a pathway to novel long-chain carotenoids.
Using methods of laboratory evolution to force the C(30) carotenoid synthase CrtM to function as a C(40) synthase, followed by further mutagenesis at functionally important amino acid residues, we have discovered that synthase specificity is controlled at the second (rearrangement) step of the two-step reaction. We used this information to engineer CrtM variants that can synthesize previously u...
متن کاملInduction of hepatic heme oxygenase and changes in cytochrome P-450s in response to oxidative stress produced by stilbenes and stilbene oxides in rats.
Both trans- and cis-stilbene oxide (TSO and CSO) markedly induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) at the transcriptional level in rat liver. HO-1 induction by TSO and CSO was preceded by glutathione (GSH) depletion in the liver. Pretreatment of rats with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of GSH biosynthesis, enhanced GSH depletion evoked by either TSO or CSO and augmented the increase in HO-1 ...
متن کاملEstablishment and characterization of an ovarian cell line from half-smooth tongue sole Cynoglossus semilaevis.
A new ovarian cell line, CSO, was established from half-smooth tongue sole Cynoglossus semilaevis. Primary culture of CSO cells was initiated from digestion of ovarian tissues pieces by trypsin solution and cultured at 24° C in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium-F12 medium (DMEM-F12, 1:1) (pH 7·0), supplemented with 20% foetal bovine serum, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), epidermal growt...
