    Interactions of the novel antimicrobial peptide buforin 2 with lipid bilayers: Proline as a translocation promoting factor

    No full text
    Buforin 2 is an antimicrobial peptide discovered in the stomach tissue of the Asian toad Bufo bufo gargarizans. The 21-residue peptide with +6 net charge shows antimicrobial activity an order of magnitude higher than that of magainin 2, a membrane-permeabilizing antimicrobial peptide from Xenopus laevis [Park, C. B., Kim, M. S., and Kim, S. C. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 218, 408-413]. In this study, we investigated the interactions of buforin 2 with phospholipid bilayers in comparison with magainin 2 to obtain insight into the mechanism of action of buforin 2. Equipotent Trp-substituted peptides were used to fluorometrically monitor peptide-lipid interactions. Circular dichroism measurements showed that buforin 2 selectively bound to liposomes composed of acidic phospholipids, assuming a secondary structure similar to that in trifluoroethanol/water, which is an amphipathic helix distorted around Pro(11) with a flexible N-terminal region [Yi, G. S., Park, C. B., Kim, S. C., and Cheong, C. (1996) FEES Lett. 398, 87-90]. Magainin 2 induced the leakage of a fluorescent dye entrapped within lipid vesicles coupled to Lipid flip-flop. These results have been interpreted as the formation of a peptide-lipid supramolecular complex pore [Matsuzaki, K. (1998) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1376, 391-400]. Buforin 2 exhibited much weaker membrane permeabilization activity despite its higher antimicrobial activity. In contrast, buforin 2 was more efficiently translocated across lipid bilayers than magainin 2. These results suggested that the ultimate target of buforin 2 is not the membrane but intracellular components. Furthermore, buforin 2 induced no lipid flip-flop, indicating that the mechanism of translocation of buforin 2 is different from that of magainin 2. The role of Pro was investigated by use of a P11A derivative of buforin 2. The derivation caused a change to magainin 2-like secondary structure and membrane behavior. Pro(11) was found to be a very important structural factor for the unique properties of buforin 2

    We search for CPCP violation by measuring a TT-odd asymmetry in the Cabibbo-suppressed D+K+KS0π+πD^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-} decay, and in the Cabibbo-favored Ds+K+KS0π+πD^{+}_{s}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-} and D+K+KKS0π+D^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+} decays. We use 980 fb1{\rm fb}^{-1} of data collected by the Belle detector running at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^{+}e^{-} collider. The C ⁣PC\!P-violating TT-odd parameter aCPT-odd{a}^{T\text{-}\rm{odd}}_{CP} is measured to be aCPT-odd(D+K+KS0π+π)=(0.34±0.87±0.32)%,{a}^{T\text{-}\rm{odd}}_{CP}(D^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})=(0.34\pm0.87\pm0.32)\%, aCPT-odd(Ds+K+KS0π+π)=(0.46±0.63±0.38)%,{a}^{T\text{-}\rm{odd}}_{CP}(D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})=(-0.46\pm0.63\pm0.38)\%, and aCPT-odd(D+K+KKS0π+)=(3.34±2.66±0.35)%,{a}^{T\text{-}\rm{odd}}_{CP}(D^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+})=(-3.34\pm2.66\pm0.35)\%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We also report the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ds+K+KKS0π+D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}. The branching fraction is measured relative to that of the analogous Cabibbo-favored decay : B(Ds+K+KKS0π+)/B(Ds+K+KS0π+π)=(1.36±0.15±0.04)%B(D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}) / B(D^{+}_{s}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{0}_{S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}) = (1.36\pm 0.15\pm 0.04)\%

    Park J-C, Kim J.C, Kim B-K, Cho K-S, Im G-I, Kim B-S, Kim C-S. Dose- and time-dependent effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 on the osteogenic and adipogenic potentials of alveolar bone-derived stromal cells. J Periodont Res 2012; 47: 645654. (C) 2012 John Wiley & Sons A/S Background and Objective: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is a well-known growth factor that can induce robust bone formation, and recent studies have shown that rhBMP-2-induced osteogenesis is closely related to adipogenesis. The aim of the present study was to determine the dose- and time-dependent effects of rhBMP-2 on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of human alveolar bone-derived stromal cells (hABCs) in vivo and in vitro. Material and Methods: hABCs were isolated and cultured, and then transplanted using a carrier treated either with or without rhBMP-2 (100 mu g/mL) into an ectopic subcutaneous mouse model. Comprehensive histologic and histometric analyses were performed after an 8-wk healing period. To further understand the dose-dependent (0, 10, 50, 200, 500 and 1000 ng/mL) and time-dependent (0, 3, 5, 7 and 14 d) effects of rhBMP-2 on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, in vitro osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of hABCs were evaluated, and the expression of related mRNAs, including those for alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma-2 and lipoprotein lipase, were assessed using quantitative RT-PCR. Results: rhBMP-2 significantly promoted the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of hABCs in vivo, and gradually increased both the osteogenic and adipogenic potential in a dose- and time-dependent manner with minimal deviation in vitro. The expression of osteogenesis- and adipogenesis-associated mRNAs were concomitantly up-regulated by rhBMP-2. Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that rhBMP-2 significantly enhanced the adipogenic as well as the osteogenic potential of hABCs in dose- and time-dependent manner. The control of adipogenic differentiation of hABCs should be considered when regenerating the alveolar bone using rhBMP-2.N

    Measurement of the branching fractions for Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+→K+K−π+π0 and D(s)+→K+π−π+π0 at Belle

    No full text
    We present measurements of the branching fractions for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+→K+K−π+π0 and D+s→K+π−π+π0, and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D+→K+π−π+π0, based on 980 fb−1 of data recorded by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+e− collider. We measure these modes relative to the Cabibbo-favored modes D+→K−π+π+π0 and D+s→K+K−π+π0. Our results for the ratios of branching fractions are B(D+→K+K−π+π0)/B(D+→K−π+π+π0)=(11.32±0.13±0.26)%, B(D+→K+π−π+π0)/B(D+→K−π+π+π0)=(1.68±0.11±0.03)%, and B(D+s→K+π−π+π0)/B(D+s→K+K−π+π0)=(17.13±0.62±0.51)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The second value corresponds to (5.83±0.42)×tan4θC, where θC is the Cabibbo angle; this value is larger than other measured ratios of branching fractions for a doubly Cabibbo-suppressed charm decay to a Cabibbo-favored decay. Multiplying these results by world average values for B(D+→K−π+π+π0) and B(D+s→K+K−π+π0) yields B(D+→K+K−π+π0)=(7.08±0.08±0.16±0.20)×10^−3, B(D+→K+π−π+π0)=(1.05±0.07±0.02±0.03)×10^−3, and B(D+s→K+π−π+π0)=(9.44±0.34±0.28±0.32)×10^−3, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the normalization mode. The first two results are consistent with, but more precise than, the current world averages. The last result is the first measurement of this branching fraction

    Abstract We perform the first search for CP violation in D s + → K S 0 K − π + π + D(s)+KS0Kπ+π+ {D}_{(s)}^{+}\to {K}_S^0{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}{\pi}^{+} decays. We use a combined data set from the Belle and Belle II experiments, which study e + e − collisions at center-of-mass energies at or near the Υ(4S) resonance. We use 980 fb −1 of data from Belle and 428 fb −1 of data from Belle II. We measure six CP-violating asymmetries that are based on triple products and quadruple products of the momenta of final-state particles, and also the particles’ helicity angles. We obtain a precision at the level of 0.5% for D + → K S 0 K − π + π + D+KS0Kπ+π+ {D}^{+}\to {K}_S^0{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}{\pi}^{+} decays, and better than 0.3% for D s + → K S 0 K − π + π + Ds+KS0Kπ+π+ {D}_s^{+}\to {K}_S^0{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}{\pi}^{+} decays. No evidence of CP violation is found. Our results for the triple-product asymmetries are the most precise to date for singly-Cabibbo-suppressed D + decays. Our results for the other asymmetries are the first such measurements performed for charm decays

    Analysis of Noise Coupling From a Power Distribution Network to Signal Traces in High-Speed Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards

    Get PDF
    As layout density increases in highly integrated multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), the noise that exists in the power distribution network (PDN) is increasingly coupled to the signal traces, and precise modeling to describe the coupling phenomenon becomes necessary. This paper presents a model to describe noise coupling between the power/ground planes and signal traces in multilayer systems. An analytical model for the coupling has been successfully derived, and the coupling mechanism was rigorously analyzed and clarified. Wave equations for a signal trace with power/ground noise were solved by imposing boundary conditions. Measurements in both the frequency and time domains have been conducted to confirm the validity of the proposed model

    A note on multiple imputation for method of moments estimation

    Get PDF
    Multiple imputation is widely used for estimation in situations where there are missing data. Rubin (1987) provided an easily applicable formula for multiple imputation variance estimation, but its validity requires the congeniality condition of Meng (1994), which may not be satisfied for method of moments estimation. We give the asymptotic bias of Rubin's variance estimator when method of moments estimation is used in the complete-sample analysis for each imputed dataset. A new variance estimator based on over-imputation is proposed to provide asymptotically valid inference in this case.This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in Biometrika following peer review. The version of record (S. Yang, J. K. Kim; A note on multiple imputation for method of moments estimation. Biometrika 2016; 103 (1): 244-251) is available online at doi:10.1093/biomet/asv073.
