Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzing the first reaction of protein biosynthesis. In mammalian cells, eight aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) and three auxiliary protein factors form a macromolecular aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases complex (aaRS complex). The three nonsynthetase protein factors, namely, p43, p38, and p18 were found to be involved in many other important life activities besides their roles in the complex. The auxiliary factor p43 was the precursor of endothelial monocyte activating polypeptideⅡ (EMAPⅡ), which involved in angiogenesis and apoptosis. The auxiliary factor p38 was crucial for the development of lung, and its abnormal accumulation in neuron would be related to the Parkinson’s disease. The auxiliary factor p38 and p18 could promote the repair of DNA damage via different pathways in a highly organized way. All these breakthroughs enhance our understanding about the interaction between the aaRS complex and the macromolecular signaling network and promote the studies on this field.

To investigate the changs in the expressions of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the myocardium after low dose interleukin 1? (IL 1?) pretreatment and the relationship between CAMs and delayed cardioprotection, we measured the change in the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM 1) mRNA and its proteins, the expressions of leukocyte function antigen 1(CD11a) proteins, and infiltration number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in the myocardium and determined the infarct size with in situ hybridization(ISH),immunohistochemistry and enzyme methods immediately,12 hours and 24 hours after IL 1? pretreatment in a model of ischemia/reperfusion of myocardium in rats. The results showed that the expressions of ICAM 1 mRNA and its protein, CD11a protein and the PMN infiltration number were significantly higher in the ILPC and NS groups than in the control at 0～24h after IL 1? or NS pretreatment( P 0 05). The results suggested that low dose IL 1? pretreatment might inhibit the expressions in the CAMs of myocardium during the late period of ischemia /reperfusion,resulting in delayed cardioprotection.

A strain of Prototheca species isolated from a case of meningitis was identified by routine morphologic and biochemical methods as well as amplification of the related genes, in which the 28S large-subunit (LSU) region of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene and intergenic space (ITS) were amplified with universal fungal primers. The small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene was amplified with eukaryote-specific primers and Prototheca genus-specific primers. Then, compared the sequences with the ones posted on BLAST (www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/BLAST). The organism choice giving the closest match, up to 99%, was considered the most likely correct identification. It was found that this strain of fungus grew well at 25 ℃ or 37 ℃. Smooth,moist colonies with white color were observed on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). Microscopically, globular or ovoid cells, a number of round, ovoid shaped endospores could be observed. No hypha, ascus or blastic conidia was found upon cultivation on SDA. Based on the morphological characteristics, this isolate could be identified as Prototheca species. The identity with Prototheca wickerhamii was 2.9 % as demonstrated by the API 20C AUX system. Sequence analysis showed that the ITS gene was proved to be a complex structural region which was not suitable for the identification of Prototheca species, but the LSU and SSU rDNA regions showed 94% and 99.9% sequence identities with Prototheca zopfii var. hydrocarbonea (P. zopfii var. hydrocarbonea) respectively, indicating that the SSU rRNA gene sequence might be more reliable on than the LSU rRNA gene sequence for identification of Prototheca species.
