P32 is the putative surface-exposed membrane protein of M. genitalium and it has substaintial identity in amino acid sequence with adhesin protein P30 from M. pneumoniae. Since M. pneumoniae mutants lacking P30 protein is defective in cytadherence, P32 protein has been proposed to be an essential adhesin implicated in the adherence of M. genitaliurn to host cells. The prokaryotic expression vector pET-30 （ ＋ ）/p32 was constructed in the present study, and the recombinant protein was expressed in E. coli and purified under denaturing condition. As demonstrated by the immuno- blotting analysis, the recombinant protein could react with rabbit antisera against M. genitalium, and adherence inhibition assays were performed with antisera against this recombinant protein. It was demonstrated that P32 protein apperared to be an adhesion protein of M. genitalium, thus providing the experimental basis for better understanding of the pathogenesis of M. genitalium infection and for the development of the related vaccines against the infection.展开更多

ORL transcripts are particularly abundant in the central nervous system. We demonstrated that ORL expressed in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH and SH-SY5Y cell lines by radioligand binding assay, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern analysis in the present study. Stimulation with ORL1 specific agonist, nociceptin/orphanin Fo, increased [34S]GTPrγS binding to SK-N-SH cell membranes (EC50 = 14 ±0.45 nM), and attenuated forskolin-stimulated accumulation of cellular cAMP (EC50= 0.80 ±0.45 nM, indicative that activation of ORL1 activates G proteins and inhibits adenylyl cyclase. Activation of ORL1 receptor was also accessed using CHO:hORL1 cell line by microphysiometer. Treatment of nociceptin/orphanin FQ increased extracellular acidification rate significantly.展开更多

Transcripts of ORL1 and N/OFQ were detected by RT-PCR in mouse brain of day 8 embryo (E8)and the expression continued afterwards. Northern blotanalysis revealed abundant expression of ORL1 at postnatal day 1 (P1) and N/OFQ at E17 and P1 in the brain butnone was detected in other embryonic tissues. The presence of functional ORL1 in mouse embryonic brain wasalso confirmed by specific binding of [3H] N/OFQ (kd=1.3±0.5 nM and Bmax = 72±9 fmol/mg protein) as wellas by N/OFQ-stimulated G protein activation.展开更多

As a result, not only was the functional recombinant expression of heparinase I in E. coli accomplished, but also a linear correlation was obtained between the GFP fluorescence intensity and heparinase I activity, allowing enzyme activity to be quantified rapidly during the fermentation.展开更多
