    Description: Erythroid cells undergo enucleation and the removal of organelles during terminal differentiation. Although autophagy has been suggested to mediate the elimination of organelles for erythroid maturation, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain undefined. Here we report a role for a Bcl-2 family member, Nix (also called Bnip3L), in the regulation of erythroid maturation through mitochondrial autophagy. Nix(-/-) mice developed anaemia with reduced mature erythrocytes and compensatory expansion of erythroid precursors. Erythrocytes in the peripheral blood of Nix(-/-) mice exhibited mitochondrial retention and reduced lifespan in vivo. Although the clearance of ribosomes proceeded normally in the absence of Nix, the entry of mitochondria into autophagosomes for clearance was defective. Deficiency in Nix inhibited the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)), and treatment with uncoupling chemicals or a BH3 mimetic induced the loss of DeltaPsi(m) and restored the sequestration of mitochondria into autophagosomes in Nix(-/-) erythroid cells. These results suggest that Nix-dependent loss of DeltaPsi(m) is important for targeting the mitochondria into autophagosomes for clearance during erythroid maturation, and interference with this function impairs erythroid maturation and results in anaemia. Our study may also provide insights into molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial quality control involving mitochondrial autophagy.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2570948/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2570948/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sandoval, Hector -- Thiagarajan, Perumal -- Dasgupta, Swapan K -- Schumacher, Armin -- Prchal, Josef T -- Chen, Min -- Wang, Jin -- F31 AI058932/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI056210/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI056210-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI074949/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI074949-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM087710/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Jul 10;454(7201):232-5. doi: 10.1038/nature07006.

    Description: Apoptosis in the immune system is critical for maintaining self-tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. Nevertheless, inhibiting apoptosis in lymphocytes is not alone sufficient to break self-tolerance, suggesting the involvement of other cell types. We investigated whether apoptosis in dendritic cells (DCs) helps regulate self-tolerance by generating transgenic mice expressing the baculoviral caspase inhibitor, p35, in DCs (DC-p35). DC-p35 mice displayed defective DC apoptosis, resulting in their accumulation and, in turn, chronic lymphocyte activation and systemic autoimmune manifestations. The observation that a defect in DC apoptosis can independently lead to autoimmunity is consistent with a central role for these cells in maintaining immune self-tolerance.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Min -- Wang, Yui-Hsi -- Wang, Yihong -- Huang, Li -- Sandoval, Hector -- Liu, Yong-Jun -- Wang, Jin -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Feb 24;311(5764):1160-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA. minc@bcm.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16497935" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Abstract The spectral evolution in a xenon ion-pumped open dye stream laser was measured and analysed in terms of a theoretical spectro-temporal relation previously derived. Sweep occurs in a 200 ns time scale and simultaneous oscillations of several wavelengths can be achieved by varying laser cavity parameters. Experiments were completely reproduced by assuming that the phenomena can be ascribed to the homogeneous broadening of the laser fluorescent band.

    Notes: Summary The corynebacteria seem to be the most suitable microorganisms for cloning genes involved in the production of amino acids, nucleotides, and other products of industrial interest. A plasmid, pCCl, from Corynebacterium callunae has been found with a size of 4.3 kb. A physical map obtained with restriction endonucleases is presented. pCCl has single restriction sites for Kpn I, Sma I, Bal I, and Hind III. Copy number of this plasmid has been estimated to be about 30. A number of hybrid plasmids have been constructed between pCCl and pBR329 from Escherichia coli and transformed into corynebacteria. The thiostrepton resistance gene (tsr) from Streptomyces azureus has been inserted into them.
