The Hpn and HspA proteins from H. pylori are significant for nickel homeostasis and protect the cells from higher concentrations of external metal ions. Both proteins have a unique histidine- and cysteine-rich domain at the C terminus. The interactions of Ni(2+), Bi(3+), Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) ions with C-terminal Ac-CCSTSDSHHQ-NH(2) and Ac-EEGCCHGHHE-NH(2) fragments from Hpn and the Ac-GSCCHTGNHD-NH(2) sequence from HspA were studied by potentiometry, mass spectrometry, circular dichroism and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Ac-CC-NH(2) was used as a reference peptide. The studies have shown that nickel ions form planar complexes with a {2S(-),N(-)} binding mode. The thiol sulfurs of the -Cys-Cys- motif are also the anchoring sites for Bi(3+), Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) ions. The studied protein fragments have the highest affinity for Bi(3+) ions. The thermodynamic stability of Ni(2+) is much higher then that of Zn(2+). 相似文献

Apoptosis is defined by a distinct set of morphological changes observed during cell death including loss of focal adhesions, the formation of cell membrane buds or blebs, and a decrease in total cell volume. Recent studies suggest that these dramatic morphological changes, particularly apoptotic volume decrease (AVD), are an early prerequisite to apoptosis and precede key biochemical time-points. Here we use atomic force microscopy to observe early stage AVD of KB cells undergoing staurosporine-induced apoptosis. After a 3-h exposure to 1 microM staurosporine, a 32% decrease in total cell height and a 50% loss of total cell volume is observed accompanied by only a 15% change in cell diameter. The observed AVD precedes key biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis such as loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, phosphatidyl serine translocation, nuclear fragmentation, and measurable caspase-3 activity. This suggests that morphological volume changes occur very early in the induction of apoptosis. 相似文献

Dendrimer nanocomposites (DNC) are hybrid nanoparticles formed by the dispersion and immobilization of guest atoms or small clusters in dendritic polymer matrices. They have a great potential in biomedical applications due to their controlled composition, predetermined size, shape and variable surface functionalities. In this work, d=5–25nm spherical nanoparticles composed of gold and poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been selected to demonstrate this nanoparticle based concept. {Au(0)n-PAMAM} gold dendrimer nanocomposites with a well-defined size were synthesized and imaged by transmission electron microscopy both in vitro and in vivo. DNC have also the potential to be used for imaging and drug delivery vehicles either by utilizing bioactive guests or through the incorporation of radioactive isotopes, such as Au-198. 相似文献
