Inferring REPIN duplication in Pseudomonas chlororaphis
No full textTransposable elements are ubiquitous features of prokaryotic genomes that have short persistence times in individuals of a population. Repetitive extragenic palindromic doublets forming hairpins (REPINs) are a common group of non-autonomous transposable elements that are unique in their long persistence in bacterial genomes. They are short 100-120bp sequences that are present in numerous copies, of up to 400, in bacterial genomes. Being non-autonomous, REPINs depend on the presence of a RAYT (REP Associated tyrosine Transposase) gene to duplicate and maintain itself in the genome. REPINs duplicate on the order of 103 years implying that their duplication dynamics cannot be studied in the lab and thus has not been documented thus far. Here we present the first recorded evidence of the movement of individual REPIN sequences in Pseudomonas chlororaphis. In order to identify REPIN movement, we identified REPINs occurring in orthologous extragenic spaces which allowed us to phylogenetically identify the point in evolutionary history of P. chlororaphis where a duplication occurred. Using the identified duplication events and the phylogenetic history of each event, we calculated the rate of duplication of REPIN sequences, which comes to ~10-7 duplication per REPIN per host generation in P. chlororaphis. This concurs with the theoretically estimated duplication rate. Having recorded instances of REPIN duplication, it provides us a platform to study REPIN dynamics and explain their distribution. Even amongst closely related strains of the same species, the population of REPIN sequences within the genome can vary drastically in terms of number of REPINs (of each type), sequence composition and location within the genome. Through the orthologous grouping of REPIN sequences and identification of duplication events of REPINs, we can explain the variability in the occurrence of REPINs in an extragenic space. The REPIN variability can be explained by a combination of loss of extragenic space through genomic rearrangements, loss of REPIN sequences through decay and movement (duplication) of REPINs from one extragenic space to another
Hypothermic activity of repin, a sesquiterpene lactone from Centaurea solstitialis
No full textPowdered aerial parts of the weed yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis, Compositae) and the methanol extract, alkaloidal and fatty fractions of the methanol extract of the aerial parts, injected intraperitoneally, produced a highly significant hypothermia in conscious normal rats. Other significant symptomatology included sedation, decreases in spontaneous motor activity, depressed respiration, mydriasis, ear blanching, enophthalmos and anuria. Four sesquiterpene lactones of the guaianolide type (repin, solstitialin-A, janerin and cynaropicrin), constituents of yellow starthistle, showed similar activities in rats. The predominant effects were hypothermia, sedation and enophthalmos. Both repin and janerin, in equidoses of 3.1-31 mg/kg, produced similar profiles of generalized effects and hypothermia, whereas solstitialin-A and cynaropicrin did not show well-defined dose-response relationships. The lethal doses of the methanol extract, repin, solstitialin-A, janerin and cynaropicrin were 1000, 31, 310, 31 and 310 mg/kg, respectively. Studies were carried out to document the effects of various potential antagonists and agonists on the repin-induced hypothermic effect. Rats were pretreated intraperitoneally with atropine sulfate (10 and 20 mg/kg), atropine methylbromide (20 mg/kg), propranolol (10 and 20 mg/kg), metergoline (0.5 mg/kg), ketanserin tartrate (0.2 mg/kg), diphenhydramine HCl (10 mg/kg) and apomorphine HCl (0.5 mg/kg). No significant effects of pretreatment were evident up to 2 h but statistically significant partial reversals of repin-induced hypothermia by atropine sulfate (20 mg/kg), metergoline, ketanserin, diphenhydramine and apomorphine were observed beginning 3 h after repin injection. Propranolol pretreatment resulted in a significant potentiation of repin\u27s hypothermic effect. The sleeping time in mice induced by intraperitoneal sodium pentobarbital was markedly potentiated by pretreatment with repin. Receptor binding studies showed that repin facilitated the binding of GABA\sb{\rm A}, bombesin and neuropeptide Y without any significant binding of repin to any of the 36 receptors and binding sites tested
Ilya Repin and the Zaporozhe Cossacks
No full textStanding above other nineteenth-century century Russian painters, Ilya Repin has proven himself through his technical mastery and unrelenting quest for artistic exploration. Thi s has placed him among Russia\u27 s most influential artists. This study examines Repin\u27 s life and prolific career. The obj ective of thi s research i s to explore the unique marriage between art and politics in nineteenth-century Russia. This proj ect focuses on Repin\u27 s 1 8 80 painting of the Zaporozhe Cossacks as a basis to explore the conflicting forces that befell Rep in, and also as a means to better understand the tempestuous atmosphere of the time. This painting reflects the opposing aesthetic, moral and philosophical ideas that marked this period in Russia history. Through both academic and artistic research methods, this study will give a comprehensive and intimate analysis of Ilya Repin\u27 s painting in the context of nineteenth-century Russian mi and politics
Ilya Repin in Paris: Mediating French Modernism
No full textThis article explores the development of a singular painting by Russia’s most famous realist painter, Il’ia Repin. First exhibited under the title Un café du boulevard, the work was conceived during Repin’s stay in Paris from 1873-75. Repin himself described the work as “the main types of Paris in their most typical place,” but what he produced proves a departure for the young artist not only in terms of its Parisian subject matter. Careful analysis of Repin’s letters and the work itself show him searching for a stylistic language that had universal translatability in this moment, one that he importantly associated with the French artist Édouard Manet. Understanding how Repin came to center his painting on cocottes and flâneurs, the foremost heroes of western European urbanity, allows for a new understanding of transnational connections in late nineteenth-century art, one in which Russian artists mediated French modernism as it was developing
