Análise da supressão do fenótipo de sensibilidade à temperatura do mutante tif51AK56A em Saccharomyces cerevisiae

O fator de início da tradução de eucariotos 5A (eIF5A) é uma proteína essencial para a viabilidade celular, altamente conservada em arqueas e eucariotos e apresenta uma modificação pós-traducional única em que um resíduo específico de lisina é modificado para o aminoácido hipusina. O processo de hipusinação é essencial para a função de eIF5A e consequentemente para viabilidade celular. eIF5A foi descrita inicialmente como um fator de início da tradução pois estimula a síntese de metionil-puromicina in vitro, porém, dados de nosso e de outro laboratório mostraram um papel para eIF5A na etapa de elongação da tradução. eIF5A é um homólogo estrutural do fator de elongação da tradução P (EF-P) de bactérias. EF-P também estimula a síntese de metionil-puromicina, sendo essencial para viabilidade celular em algumas espécies de bactérias. Dados recentes mostram que EF-P, bem como eIF5A participam na etapa de elongação da tradução facilitando a tradução de sequências de parada, “stalling motifs”. Foi isolado, em nosso laboratório, o gene que codifica para o tRNA de alanina como supressor do fenótipo de sensibilidade a temperatura do mutante tif51AK56A, sugerindo uma possível correlação funcional entre estes genes. Para compreender o mecanismo de supressão e estudar a relação com outros tRNAs este estudo foi proposto e realizado.

Comportamento da temperatura da massa de resíduos aterrados em um aterro sanitário

In this paper we investigate the temperature variation of the mass of waste along the depth in a household waste landfill of Rio Claro - SP, São Paulo, having a climate characterized as Tropical Altitude. In this research, there were two holes in two distinct points of the landfill, with different depths and characteristics in order to fix several thermal sensors - RTDs - to record the temperature at predetermined depths. Overall, the results show the influence of temperature at depths of up to 3.0 meters (from the surface) and that it varies in a manner to stabilize at depths above 5.0 meters. The highest temperature obtained was approximately 37.5 ° C for a time of waste disposal of 7 to 10 years. The results showed the presence of organic matter (substrate) which resulted in elevated temperature resulting from biological activity

A influência da temperatura nas impedâncias de sequência de condutores utilizados na rede primária de distribuição

Distribution networks are formed by long lines that carry electricity substations to homes and industries. These lines have associated impedance and depending on operating conditions of the network these impedances may vary. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the effects observed in studies of voltage drop, short circuit and electrical losses, when considered the drivers sequence impedances used in primary distribution network at different temperatures. Therefore, it is initially presented a calculation methodology and details the factors that influence the final values. The methodology presented tackles in a practical way the main factors that directly or indirectly influence the values of the impedances as an emblematic example and will be properly dealt with throughout the paper is the effect of temperature on the values of the sequence impedances. More specifically is dealt with the case of XLPE cables protected, by having a higher maximum operating temperature than the operating temperature of the network. The effects observed in the power flow generated when considering the impedance values at both temperatures were analyzed. The impedance drivers tend to increase with increasing temperature. Thus the impedance of the conductor XLPE protected will tend to be greater for the maximum operating temperature for which the operating temperature of the network, resulting in greater voltage drop and higher electrical losses

Regulação da temperatura corporal em diferentes estados térmicos: ênfase na anapirexia

Temperature is certainly one of the major factors that affect biochemical and physiological processes. So, the investigation of how animals regulate body temperature (Tb) and respond to changes in ambient temperature is indispensable. There are five thermal states defined up to date that include euthermy, hypo and hyperthermia (forced fall and increase of Tb, respectively), fever and anapyrexia (regulated increase and fall of Tb, respectively). In this review, we present some classic and recent data about thermoregulatory mechanisms involved in those thermal states with special attention directed to anapyrexia, a phenomenon that has attracted the interest of researchers due to its potential therapeutic benefits.

Influência da temperatura na atividade de amilase e protease de Rhizopus oligosporus cultivado por fermentação em estado sólido

Amilases e proteases constituem um dos principais grupos de enzimas industriais pelo seu amplo espectro de aplicações biotecnológicas. Elas podem ser obtidas a partir de fontes microbianas e com altos rendimentos por processos de fermentação em estado sólido (FES). Conhecer as características bioquímicas das enzimas é fundamental para adequação aos processos industriais. O objetivo do trabalho foi determinar a melhor temperatura para atividade das enzimas amilase e protease de Rhizopus oligosporus obtidas por fermentação em estado sólido utilizando farelo de trigo como substrato. Os melhores valores para atividade amilolítica e proteolítica foram obtidos nas temperaturas de 55 - 65 °C e de 50 - 60 °C, respectivamente. Estes resultados sugerem que as enzimas estudadas podem ser utilizadas em processos que empregam elevadas temperaturas.

Preparo do solo e emissão de CO2, temperatura e umidade do solo em área canavieira

Soil tillage is one of the agricultural practices that may contribute to increase the loss of carbon through emission of CO2 (FCO2). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three soil tillage systems on FCO2, soil temperature and soil moisture in a sugarcane area under reform. The experimental area consisted of three tillage plots: conventional tillage (CT), conventional subsoiling (CS), and localized subsoiling (LS). FCO2, soil temperature and soil moisture were measured over a period of 17 days. FCO2 showed the highest value in CT (0.75 g CO2 m(-2) h(-1)). Soil temperature presented no significant difference (p > 0.05) between LS (26.2 degrees C) and CS (25.9 degrees C). Soil moisture was higher in LS (24%), followed by CS (21.8%) and CT (18.3%). A significant correlation (r = -0.71; p < 0.05) between FCO2 and soil temperature was observed only in CT. The conventional tillage presented a total emission (2,864.3 kg CO2 ha(-1)) higher than the emissions observed in CS (1,970.9 kg CO2 ha(-1)) and LS (1,707.7 kg CO2 ha(-1)). The conversion from CT to LS decreased soil CO2 emissions, reducing the contribution of agriculture in increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Perfil hematológico de tilápias-do-nilo alimentadas com dietas contendo diferentes lipídeos e estimuladas por baixa temperatura

The goal of this paper was to determine the effects of seven diets with differents fatty acids sources in hematology of Nile tilapia before and after cold stimulus. Seven diets, with 3% of fatty acid source, were formulated: soybean oil (OS); fish oil (OP); beef tallow (SB) and mixtures of OS+OP; OS+SB; OP+SB e OS+OP+SB. Fish (112 male of Nile tilapia of 30,0 +/- 2,65g) were totally randomly distributed, with four replicates, into 28 plastic aquaria (40 L; 4 fish per aquarium). Fish were fed four times per day for 35 days. At 35th day and also after seven days cold stimulus blood was collected and the profile hematological was evaluated. Leucocytes numbers were reduced in fish fed a SB and fish oil combination diet and were highest in fish fed SB diet before cold stimulus. Plasma protein was reduced in fish fed soybean oil diets and highest in fishes fed a combination of soybean oil, fish oil and SB diets. Anything fatty acids source promotes effective changes in fish health and cold tolerance promotion. Cold don't drastically reduced fish general health status.

Influência da temperatura de armazenamento na qualidade das inflorescências de estrelítzia (strelitzia reginae banks ex aiton)

This work was based to study the influence of the storage temperature (cold and room temperature) in the quality of inflorescences strelitzia. The scapes were selected, labeled and there were zero problems concerning mechanical damage, disease and/or plagues. Subsequently this period, the scapes were moved randomly to recipients with water, in which two postharvest trials were conducted. In experiment 1, the flower scapes were placed in buckets with water from public supply and sanitation department and taken to a cold room at temperature of 7.5 degrees C and RH of 90%, for a twelve day period. For the experiment 2, were kept under the same conditions but at room temperature for a period of six days. In both experiments, the visual analysis: color, gloss, stains (by assigning notes), opening and drop florets (count) were evaluated at intervals of four days in cold and every 48 hours at ambient temperature conditions. In both experiments, the visual analysis: color, gloss, stains (by assigning notes), opening and drop florets (count) were evaluated at intervals of four days in cold and every 48 hours at ambient temperature conditions. The sepal is the organ that showed greater loss in coloration. The variable gloss showed the same pattern for the two experiments. Incidences of stains on the inflorescences occurred in patches at room temperature. The scapes increased number of florets open in cold. This tendency did not occur at room temperature. No were observed differences in the fall of florets. Conclude that the storage temperature does not contribute to postharvest quality of strelitzia.
