We have isolated the human protein SNEV as downregulated in replicatively senescent cells. Sequence homology to the yeast splicing factor Prp19 suggested that SNEV might be the orthologue of Prp19 and therefore might also be involved in pre-mRNA splicing. We have used various approaches including gene complementation studies in yeast using a temperature sensitive mutant with a pleiotropic phenotype and SNEV immunodepletion from human HeLa nuclear extracts to determine its function. A human–yeast chimera was indeed capable of restoring the wild-type phenotype of the yeast mutant strain. In addition, immunodepletion of SNEV from human nuclear extracts resulted in a decrease of in vitro pre-mRNA splicing efficiency. Furthermore, as part of our analysis of protein–protein interactions within the CDC5L complex, we found that SNEV interacts with itself. The self-interaction domain was mapped to amino acids 56–74 in the protein's sequence and synthetic peptides derived from this region inhibit in vitro splicing by surprisingly interfering with spliceosome formation and stability. These results indicate that SNEV is the human orthologue of yeast PRP19, functions in splicing and that homo-oligomerization of SNEV in HeLa nuclear extract is essential for spliceosome assembly and that it might also be important for spliceosome stability.
In order to further understand how DNA polymerases discriminate against incorrect dNTPs, we synthesized two sets of dNTP analogues and tested them as substrates for DNA polymerase a (pol alpha) and Klenow fragment (exo-) of DNA polymerase I (Escherichia coli ). One set of analogues was designed to test the importance of the electronic nature of the base. The bases consisted of a benzimidazole ring with one or two exocyclic substituent(s) that are either electron-donating (methyl and methoxy) or electronwithdrawing (trifluoromethyl and dinitro). Both pol a and Klenow fragment exhibit a remarkable inability to discriminate against these analogues as compared to their ability to discriminate against incorrect natural dNTPs. Neither polymerase shows any distinct electronic or steric preferences for analogue incorporation. The other set of analogues, designed to examine the importance of hydrophobicity in dNTP incorporation, consists of a set of four regioisomers of trifluoromethyl benzimidazole. Whereas pol a and Klenow fragment exhibited minimal discrimination against the 5- and 6-regioisomers, they discriminated much more effectively against the 4- and 7-regioisomers. Since all four of these analogues will have similar hydrophobicity and stacking ability, these data indicate that hydrophobicity and stacking ability alone cannot account for the inability of pol a and Klenow fragment to discriminate against unnatural bases. After incorporation, however, both sets of analogues were not efficiently elongated. These results suggest that factors other than hydrophobicity, sterics and electronics govern the incorporation of dNTPs into DNA by pol {alpha} and Klenow fragment.
Background: Costly structures need to represent an adaptive advantage in order to be maintained over evolutionary times. Contrary to many other conspicuous shell ornamentations of gastropods, the haired shells of several Stylommatophoran land snails still lack a convincing adaptive explanation. In the present study, we analysed the correlation between the presence/absence of hairs and habitat conditions in the genus Trochulus in a Bayesian framework of character evolution. Results: Haired shells appeared to be the ancestral character state, a feature most probably lost three times independently. These losses were correlated with a shift from humid to dry habitats, indicating an adaptive function of hairs in moist environments. It had been previously hypothesised that these costly protein structures of the outer shell layer facilitate the locomotion in moist habitats. Our experiments, on the contrary, showed an increased adherence of haired shells to wet surfaces. Conclusion: We propose the hypothesis that the possession of hairs facilitates the adherence of the snails to their herbaceous food plants during foraging when humidity levels are high. The absence of hairs in some Trochulus species could thus be explained as a loss of the potential adaptive function linked to habitat shifts.
Homing in with GPS
(2000)
Flight paths of homing pigeons were measured with a newly developed recorder based on GPS. The device consists of a GPS receiver board, a logging facility, an antenna, a power supply, a DCDC converter and a casing. It has a weight of 33g and works reliably with a sampling rate of 1/s with an operation time of about 3 h, providing timeindexed data on geographic positions, ground speed and altitude. The data are downloaded when the bird is recaptured. The devices are fixed to the birds with a harness. The measured complete flight paths show many details: e.g. initial loops flown immediately after release and large detours flown by some pigeons. We are here presenting 3 examples of flight paths from a release site 17.3 km Northeast of the home loft in Frankfurt. Mean speed in flight, duration of breaks and length of the flight path were calculated. The pigeons chose different routes and have different individual tendencies to fly loops over the village close to the release site.
This paper describes a first version of the GPS flight recorder for homing pigeons. The GPS recorder consists of a hybrid GPS board, a patch antenna 19*19 mm, a 3 V Lithium battery as power supply, a DCDC converter, a logging facility and an additional microprocessor. It has a weight of 33g. Prototypes were tested and worked reliably with a sampling rate of 1/sec and with an operation time of about 3 h. In first tests on homing pigeons 9 flight paths were recorded, showing details like loops flown immediately after the release, complete routes over 30 km including detours, rest periods and speed.
Die Datenbank BioLIS wird durch die Universitätsbibliothek Johann Christian Senckenberg (Frankfurt/M.) kostenfrei online zur Verfügung gestellt. Sie weist deutsche biologische Zeitschriftenliteratur aus dem Zeit¬raum 1970 bis 1996 nach – damit ist BioLIS eine wesentliche Ergänzung zu der Datenbank „Biological Abstracts“. Die bibliografischen Angaben zu den nachgewiesenen Aufsätzen werden durch umfassende Schlagwörter und Namen behandelter Organismen ergänzt, so dass Spezialrecherchen insbesondere nach Literatur über bestimmte Organismen möglich sind.
Die Bioinformatik dient der Lösung biologischer Probleme und Erkenntnisgewinnung mit Hilfe informatischer Methodik. und stellt das Bindeglied zwischen der Informationswissenschaft und der Lehre des Lebens dar. Eine festgeschriebene Definition des Begriffes „Bioinformatik" existiert nicht: Sie umfaßt ein weites Feld, beginnend bei der automatischen Sequenzierung ganzer Genome, über Funktionsanalysen durch Homologiesuchen in Datenbanken, Strukturvorhersagen und Modelling, bis hin zur chipgesteuerten Prothetik. Unterstützende Arbeit in der Molekularbiologie leistet die Bioinformatik bei der Aufnahme und Verwaltung von Nukleotid– und Aminosäuresequenzen in Datenbanken. Der rasante Fortschritt bei der Sequenzierung ganzer Genome führt zu explosionsartig ansteigender Datenfülle und damit zu stetig wachsenden bioinformatischen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, die ihrerseits notwendig sind, um diese Datenfülle zu bewältigen. Die Genomprojekte erbrachten bislang die vollständige Sequenz der Genome von Species aus allen drei Überreichen: Eubakterien: Haemophilus influenza [17], Mycoplasma genitalium [18], Synechocystis sp [29]. u.a. Archaebakterien: Methanococcus jannaschii [16] u.a. Eukaryonten: Saccharomyces cerevisiae u.a. Ende 1998 soll auch die Sequenzierung des Nemathelminten (Rundwurm) Caenorhabditis elegans und den Menschen abgeschlossen sein................ Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit sollte ein Programm entwickelt werden, das die intrinsischen Eigenschaften eines Proteins vorhersagt. Es soll die Ausgabe der Ergebnisse von drei Programmen (Coils2, TopPred2 und SignalP) analysieren und interpretieren, eine Prognose über die Präsenz von Coiled Coils, Transmembranregionen und Signalpeptiden erstellen und die betroffenen Bereiche der Aminosäuresequenz angeben. Die Nutzung dieses Hilfsmittels ist über das World-Wide-Web möglich. In einem weiteren Teil soll die Funktion von Proteinen, deren funktionelle Eigenschaften unbekannt sind, über Homologiesuchen und Deutung der Ähnlichkeiten zu Proteinen mit bekannter Funktion aufgeklärt und beschrieben werden. Es handelt sich hierbei um Proteine, die aufgrund von Sequenzähnlichkeit in 58 Familien, sogenannten UPFs (uncharacterized protein families), zusammengefaßt sind.
The GPS recorder consists of a GPS receiver board, a logging facility, an antenna, a power supply, a DC-DC converter and a casing. Currently, it has a weight of 33 g. The recorder works reliably with a sampling rate of 1/s and with an operation time of about 3 h, providing time-indexed data on geographic positions and ground speed. The data are downloaded when the animal is recaptured. Prototypes were tested on homing pigeons. The records of complete flight paths with surprising details illustrate the potential of this new method that can be used on a variety of medium-sized and large vertebrates.
Wiederfang von zwei Sumpfmeisen (Parus palustris) nach einer Serie von Orientierungsversuchen
(1989)
We controlled two Marsh Tits in mist nets after they have been in orientation experiments for several weeks and released at the site of capture. One was controlled 1 1/2 years after the tests. There does not seem to be any impact of the experiments on the ability to survive well.
