Integración numérica de la ecuación DNLS

Interacciones no lineales de ondas de Alfven existen tanto para plasmas en el espacio como en laboratorios. En ingeniería aeroespacial amarras electrodinámicas espaciales ("tethers") generan emisión de ondas de Alfven en estructuras denominadas "Alas de Alfven". La ecuación Derivada no lineal de Schrödinger (DNLS) posee la capacidad de describir la propagation de ondas de Alfven de amplitud finita circularmente polarizadas tanto para plasmas fríos como calientes. En esta investigación, dicha ecuacion es solucionada numéricamente por medio de tecnicas espectrales para las derivadas espaciales y un esquema de Runge-Kutta de 4to orden para evaluar el avance en el tiempo. Se considera la ecuacion DNLS sin efectos difusivos, sin embargo se mantienen el termino lineal y lineal y el dispersivos. Se ha trabajado con dos condiciones iniciales: 1 - Una onda, 2 - Tres ondas cerca de resonancia (k1 = k2 + k3), la primera onda (correspondiente a k1) está excitada y las otras dos amortiguadas. En el caso de una única onda los resultados numéricos verifican las condiciones analíticas de estabilidad modular, adems se ha encontrado que el tiempo en el que se produce la inestabilidad y la forma en que evoluciona el sistema depende, para un mismo número de onda, de la amplitud inicial. Con tres ondas se realiza un estudio numérico tanto para plasmas frios como calientes encontrándose que aparece redistribución de energía en un gran número de nodos tanto para ondas polarizadas hacia la izquierda como hacia la derecha.

Exact solution for the conjugate fluid-fluid problem in the thermal entrance region of laminar counterflow heat exchangers

A generalized Lévêque solution is presented for the conjugate fluid–fluid problem that arises in the thermal entrance region of laminar counterflow heat exchangers. The analysis, carried out for constant property fluids, assumes that the Prandtl and Peclet numbers are both large compared to unity, and neglects axial conduction both in the fluids and in the plate, assumed to be thermally thin. Under these conditions, the thermal entrance region admits an asymptotic self-similar description where the temperature varies as a power ϳ of the axial distance, with the particularity that the self-similarity exponent must be determined as an eigenvalue by solving a transcendental equation arising from the requirement of continuity of heat fluxes at the heat conducting wall. Specifically, the analysis reveals that j depends only on the lumped parameter ƙ = (A2/A1)1/3 (α1/α2)1/3(k2/k1), defined in terms of the ratios of the wall velocity gradients, A, thermal diffusivities, α i, and thermal conductivities,k i, of the fluids entering, 1, and exiting, 2, the heat exchanger. Moreover, it is shown that for large (small) values of K solution reduces to the classical first (second) Lévêque solution. Closed-form analytical expressions for the asymptotic temperature distributions and local heat-transfer rate in the thermal entrance region are given and compared with numerical results in the counterflow parallel-plate configuration, showing very good agreement in all cases.

Control of phosphatidylserine biosynthesis through phosphatidylserine-mediated inhibition of phosphatidylserine synthase I in Chinese hamster ovary cells

Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) synthesis in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells occurs through the exchange of l-serine with the base moiety of phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine. The synthesis is depressed on the addition of PtdSer to the culture medium. A CHO cell mutant named mutant 29, whose PtdSer biosynthesis is highly resistant to this depression by exogenous PtdSer, has been isolated from CHO-K1 cells. In the present study, the PtdSer-resistant PtdSer biosynthesis in the mutant was traced to a point mutation in the PtdSer synthase I gene, pssA, resulting in the replacement of Arg-95 of the synthase by lysine. Introduction of the mutant pssA cDNA, but not the wild-type pssA cDNA, into CHO-K1 cells induced the PtdSer-resistant PtdSer biosynthesis. In a cell-free system, the serine base-exchange activity of the wild-type pssA-transfected cells was inhibited by PtdSer, but that of the mutant pssA-transfected cells was resistant to the inhibition. Like the mutant 29 cells, the mutant pssA-transfected cells grown without exogenous PtdSer exhibited an ≈2-fold increase in the cellular PtdSer level compared with that in CHO-K1 cells, although the wild-type pssA-transfected cells did not exhibit such a significant increase. These results indicated that the inhibition of PtdSer synthase I by PtdSer is essential for the maintenance of a normal PtdSer level in CHO-K1 cells and that Arg-95 of the synthase is a crucial residue for the inhibition.

Isolation of a Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant defective in intramitochondrial transport of phosphatidylserine

A CHO-K1 cell mutant with a specific decrease in cellular phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) level was isolated as a variant resistant to Ro09–0198, a PE-directed antibiotic peptide. The mutant was defective in the phosphatidylserine (PS) decarboxylation pathway for PE formation, in which PS produced in the endoplasmic reticulum is transported to mitochondria and then decarboxylated by an inner mitochondrial membrane enzyme, PS decarboxylase. Neither PS formation nor PS decarboxylase activity was reduced in the mutant, implying that the mutant is defective in some step of PS transport. The transport processes of phospholipids between the outer and inner mitochondrial membrane were analyzed by use of isolated mitochondria and two fluorescence-labeled phospholipid analogs, 1-palmitoyl-2-{N-[6(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]caproyl}-PS (C6-NBD-PS) and C6-NBD-phosphatidylcholine (C6-NBD-PC). On incubation with the CHO-K1 mitochondria, C6-NBD-PS was readily decarboxylated to C6-NBD-PE, suggesting that the PS analog was partitioned into the outer leaflet of mitochondria and then translocated to the inner mitochondrial membrane. The rate of decarboxylation of C6-NBD-PS in the mutant mitochondria was reduced to ≈40% of that in the CHO-K1 mitochondria. The quantity of phospholipid analogs translocated from the outer leaflet of mitochondria into inner mitochondrial membranes was further examined by selective extraction of the analogs from the outer leaflet of mitochondria. In the mutant mitochondria, the translocation of C6-NBD-PS was significantly reduced, whereas the translocation of C6-NBD-PC was not affected. These results indicate that the mutant is defective in PS transport between the outer and inner mitochondrial membrane and provide genetic evidence for the existence of a specific mechanism for intramitochondrial transport of PS.

Efficient exchange of the primary quinone acceptor QA in isolated reaction centers of Rhodopseudomonas viridis

A key step in the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy by photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) occurs at the level of the two quinones, QA and QB, where electron transfer couples to proton transfer. A great deal of our understanding of the mechanisms of these coupled reactions relies on the seminal work of Okamura et al. [Okamura, M. Y., Isaacson, R. A., & Feher, G. (1975) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88, 3491–3495], who were able to extract with detergents the firmly bound ubiquinone QA from the RC of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and reconstitute the site with extraneous quinones. Up to now a comparable protocol was lacking for the RC of Rhodopseudomonas viridis despite the fact that its QA site, which contains 2-methyl-3-nonaprenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menaquinone-9), has provided the best x-ray structure available. Fourier transform infrared difference spectroscopy, together with the use of isotopically labeled quinones, can probe the interaction of QA with the RC protein. We establish that a simple incubation procedure of isolated RCs of Rp. viridis with an excess of extraneous quinone allows the menaquinone-9 in the QA site to be almost quantitatively replaced either by vitamin K1, a close analogue of menaquinone-9, or by ubiquinone. To our knowledge, this is the first report of quinone exchange in bacterial photosynthesis. The Fourier transform infrared data on the quinone and semiquinone vibrations show a close similarity in the bonding interactions of vitamin K1 with the protein at the QA site of Rp. viridis and Rb. sphaeroides, whereas for ubiquinone these interactions are significantly different. The results are interpreted in terms of slightly inequivalent quinone–protein interactions by comparison with the crystallographic data available for the QA site of the two RCs.

In vitro evolution of horse heart myoglobin to increase peroxidase activity

Random mutagenesis and screening for enzymatic activity has been used to engineer horse heart myoglobin to enhance its intrinsic peroxidase activity. A chemically synthesized gene encoding horse heart myoglobin was subjected to successive cycles of PCR random mutagenesis. The mutated myoglobin gene was expressed in Escherichia coli LE392, and the variants were screened for peroxidase activity with a plate assay. Four cycles of mutagenesis and screening produced a series of single, double, triple, and quadruple variants with enhanced peroxidase activity. Steady-state kinetics analysis demonstrated that the quadruple variant T39I/K45D/F46L/I107F exhibits peroxidase activity significantly greater than that of the wild-type protein with k1 (for H2O2 oxidation of metmyoglobin) of 1.34 × 104 M−1 s−1 (≈25-fold that of wild-type myoglobin) and k3 [for reducing the substrate (2, 2′-azino-di-(3-ethyl)benzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] of 1.4 × 106 M−1 s−1 (1.6-fold that of wild-type myoglobin). Thermal stability of these variants as measured with circular dichroism spectroscopy demonstrated that the Tm of the quadruple variant is decreased only slightly compared with wild-type (74.1°C vs. 76.5°C). The rate constants for binding of dioxygen exhibited by the quadruple variant are identical to the those observed for wild-type myoglobin (kon, 22.2 × 10−6 M−1 s−1 vs. 22.3 × 10−6 M−1 s−1; koff, 24.3 s−1 vs. 24.2 s−1; KO2, 0.91 × 10−6 M−1 vs. 0.92 × 10−6 M−1). The affinity of the quadruple variant for CO is increased slightly (kon, 0.90 × 10−6 M−1s−1 vs. 0.51 × 10−6 M−1s−1; koff, 5.08 s−1 vs. 3.51 s−1; KCO, 1.77 × 10−7 M−1 vs. 1.45 × 10−7 M−1). All four substitutions are in the heme pocket and within 5 Å of the heme group.

Energy transfer to a proton-transfer fluorescence probe: Tryptophan to a flavonol in human serum albumin

A protein fluorescence probe system, coupling excited-state intermolecular Förster energy transfer and intramolecular proton transfer (PT), is presented. As an energy donor for this system, we used tryptophan, which transfers its excitation energy to 3-hydroxyflavone (3-HF) as a flavonol prototype, an acceptor exhibiting excited-state intramolecular PT. We demonstrate such a coupling in human serum albumin–3-HF complexes, excited via the single intrinsic tryptophan (Trp-214). Besides the PT tautomer fluorescence (λmax = 526 nm), these protein–probe complexes exhibit a 3-HF anion emission (λmax = 500 nm). Analysis of spectroscopic data leads to the conclusion that two binding sites are involved in the human serum albumin–3-HF interaction. The 3-HF molecule bound in the higher affinity binding site, located in the IIIA subdomain, has the association constant (k1) of 7.2 × 105 M−1 and predominantly exists as an anion. The lower affinity site (k2 = 2.5 × 105 M−1), situated in the IIA subdomain, is occupied by the neutral form of 3-HF (normal tautomer). Since Trp-214 is situated in the immediate vicinity of the 3-HF normal tautomer bound in the IIA subdomain, the intermolecular energy transfer for this donor/acceptor pair has a 100% efficiency and is followed by the PT tautomer fluorescence. Intermolecular energy transfer from the Trp-214 to the 3-HF anion bound in the IIIA subdomain is less efficient and has the rate of 1.61 × 108 s−1, thus giving for the donor/acceptor distance a value of 25.5 Å.

A Specific Light Chain of Kinesin Associates with Mitochondria in Cultured Cells

The motor protein kinesin is implicated in the intracellular transport of organelles along microtubules. Kinesin light chains (KLCs) have been suggested to mediate the selective binding of kinesin to its cargo. To test this hypothesis, we isolated KLC cDNA clones from a CHO-K1 expression library. Using sequence analysis, they were found to encode five distinct isoforms of KLCs. The primary region of variability lies at the carboxyl termini, which were identical or highly homologous to carboxyl-terminal regions of rat KLC B and C, human KLCs, sea urchin KLC isoforms 1–3, and squid KLCs. To examine whether the KLC isoforms associate with different cytoplasmic organelles, we made an antibody specific for a 10-amino acid sequence unique to B and C isoforms. In an indirect immunofluorescence assay, this antibody specifically labeled mitochondria in cultured CV-1 cells and human skin fibroblasts. On Western blots of total cell homogenates, it recognized a single KLC isoform, which copurified with mitochondria. Taken together, these data indicate a specific association of a particular KLC (B type) with mitochondria, revealing that different KLC isoforms can target kinesin to different cargoes.

Serine and Threonine Phosphorylation of the Paxillin LIM Domains Regulates Paxillin Focal Adhesion Localization and Cell Adhesion to Fibronectin

We have previously shown that the LIM domains of paxillin operate as the focal adhesion (FA)-targeting motif of this protein. In the current study, we have identified the capacity of paxillin LIM2 and LIM3 to serve as binding sites for, and substrates of serine/threonine kinases. The activities of the LIM2- and LIM3-associated kinases were stimulated after adhesion of CHO.K1 cells to fibronectin; consequently, a role for LIM domain phosphorylation in regulating the subcellular localization of paxillin after adhesion to fibronectin was investigated. An avian paxillin-CHO.K1 model system was used to explore the role of paxillin phosphorylation in paxillin localization to FAs. We found that mutations of paxillin that mimicked LIM domain phosphorylation accelerated fibronectin-induced localization of paxillin to focal contacts. Further, blocking phosphorylation of the LIM domains reduced cell adhesion to fibronectin, whereas constitutive LIM domain phosphorylation significantly increased the capacity of cells to adhere to fibronectin. The potentiation of FA targeting and cell adhesion to fibronectin was specific to LIM domain phosphorylation as mutation of the amino-terminal tyrosine and serine residues of paxillin that are phosphorylated in response to fibronectin adhesion had no effect on the rate of FA localization or cell adhesion. This represents the first demonstration of the regulation of protein localization through LIM domain phosphorylation and suggests a novel mechanism of regulating LIM domain function. Additionally, these results provide the first evidence that paxillin contributes to “inside-out” integrin-mediated signal transduction.

Calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum of higher plants elicited by the NADP metabolite nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate

Higher plants share with animals a responsiveness to the Ca2+ mobilizing agents inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). In this study, by using a vesicular 45Ca2+ flux assay, we demonstrate that microsomal vesicles from red beet and cauliflower also respond to nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a Ca2+-releasing molecule recently described in marine invertebrates. NAADP potently mobilizes Ca2+ with a K1/2 = 96 nM from microsomes of nonvacuolar origin in red beet. Analysis of sucrose gradient-separated cauliflower microsomes revealed that the NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ pool was derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. This exclusively nonvacuolar location of the NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ pathway distinguishes it from the InsP3- and cADPR-gated pathways. Desensitization experiments revealed that homogenates derived from cauliflower tissue contained low levels of NAADP (125 pmol/mg) and were competent in NAADP synthesis when provided with the substrates NADP and nicotinic acid. NAADP-induced Ca2+ release is insensitive to heparin and 8-NH2-cADPR, specific inhibitors of the InsP3- and cADPR-controlled mechanisms, respectively. However, NAADP-induced Ca2+ release could be blocked by pretreatment with a subthreshold dose of NAADP, as previously observed in sea urchin eggs. Furthermore, the NAADP-gated Ca2+ release pathway is independent of cytosolic free Ca2+ and therefore incapable of operating Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. In contrast to the sea urchin system, the NAADP-gated Ca2+ release pathway in plants is not blocked by L-type channel antagonists. The existence of multiple Ca2+ mobilization pathways and Ca2+ release sites might contribute to the generation of stimulus-specific Ca2+ signals in plant cells.
