Molecular and physiological analyses of diacylglycerol kinases from arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.

The overall objective of the study is an elaboration of quantitative methods for national conservation planning, coincident with the international approach ('hotspots' approach). This objective requires a solution of following problems: 1) How to estimate large scale vegetation diversity from abiotic factors only? 2) How to adopt 'global hotspots' approach for bordering of national biodiversity hotspots? 3) How to set conservation targets, accounting for difference in environmental conditions and human threats between national biodiversity hotspots? 4) How to design large scale national conservation plan reflecting hierarchical nature of biodiversity? The case study for national conservation planning is Russia. Conclusions: · Large scale vegetation diversity can be predicted to a major extent by climatically determined latent heat for evaporation and geometrical structure of landscape, described as an altitudinal difference. The climate based model reproduces observed species number of vascular plant for different areas of the world with an average error 15% · National biodiversity hotspots can be mapped from biotic or abiotic data using corrected for a country the quantitative criteria for plant endemism and land use from the 'global hotspots' approach · Quantitative conservation targets, accounting for difference in environmental conditions and human threats between national biodiversity hotspots can be set using national data for Red Data book species · Large scale national conservation plan reflecting hierarchical nature of biodiversity can be designed by combination of abiotic method at national scale (identification of large scale hotspots) and biotic method at regional scale (analysis of species data from Red Data book)
In this work different approaches are undertaken to improve the understanding of the sucrose-to-starch pathway in developing potato tubers. At first an inducible gene expression system from fungal origin is optimised for the use of studying metabolism in the potato tuber. It is found that the alc system from Aspergillus nidulans responds more rapidly to acetaldehyde than ethanol, and that acetaldehyde has less side-effects on metabolism. The optimal induction conditions then are used to study the effects of temporally controlled cytosolic expression of a yeast invertase on metabolism of potato tubers. The observed differences between induced and constitutive expression of the invertase lead to the conclusion that glycolysis is induced after an ATP demand has been created by an increase in sucrose cycling. Furthermore, the data suggest that in the potato tuber maltose is a product of glucose condensation rather than starch degradation. In the second part of the work it is shown that the expression of a yeast invertase in the vacuole of potato tubers has similar effects on metabolism than the expression of the same enzyme in the apoplast. These observations give further evidence to the presence of a mechanism by which sucrose is taken up via endocytosis to the vacuole rather than via transporters directly to the cytosol. Finally, a kinetic in silico model of sucrose breakdown is presented that is able to simulate this part of potato tuber metabolism on a quantitative level. Furthermore, it can predict the metabolic effects of the introduction of a yeast invertase in the cytosol of potato tubers with an astonishing precision. In summary, these data prove that inducible gene expression and kinetic computer models of metabolic pathways are useful tools to greatly improve the understanding of plant metabolism.
Die immunologische Kontrazeption mittels Zona pellucida (ZP) Proteinen gilt als vielversprechender Ansatz für die Reproduktionskontrolle verwilderter Haus- und Wildtierbestände. Da die Applikation von nativer ZP mit Nebenwirkungen verbunden ist, wird die Verwendung einzelner ZP Peptide als Bestandteil kontrazeptiver Vakzine als besonders aussichtsreich erachtet. Das Prinzip dieser nebenwirkungsfreien ZP Immunisierung ist die gezielte Trennung der Entzündungsreaktionen auslösenden T-Zell-Epitope der ZP von den kontrazeptiv wirkenden B-Zell-Epitopen. Niedermolekulare synthetische oder rekombinante Peptide allein sind gering immunogen und können somit keine ausreichende Immunantwort induzieren. Die Verwendung von Peptiden für die immunologische Kontrazeption erfordert daher ein „Vakzin-Design“, d. h. die gezielte Kombination der Peptide mit immunstimulierenden Substanzen (Liposomen, Carrierproteinen, Adjuvantien). Zielstellung der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Untersuchung des Potentials synthetischer Peptide für die Immunokontrazeption von verwilderten Hauskatzen (Felis catus). Dazu wurden zunächst relevante B-Zell-Epitope des felinen Zona pellucida Proteins, ZPB2, identifiziert und synthetisiert. Zwei der synthetischen Peptide (P3, P6) wurden zur Herstellung von Antikörpern an BSA konjugiert und zusammen mit Freundschem Adjuvans in Ratten verimpft. Die kontrazeptive Relevanz beider Peptide sowie der Ratten Anti-Peptid Antiseren wurde im in vitro Befruchtungssystem der Hauskatze geprüft. Zur Untersuchung der Immunogenität der Peptide in der Zielspezies Hauskatze erfolgte die Entwicklung von Vakzin-Prototypen für die einmalige Applikation. Neben der Eruierung der Stärke und Dauer der Immunantwort wurde durch Verpaarung der Tiere auch das kontrazeptive Potential in vivo abgeschätzt.
The past decades are characterized by various efforts to provide complete sequence information of genomes regarding various organisms. The availability of full genome data triggered the development of multiplex high-throughput assays allowing simultaneous measurement of transcripts, proteins and metabolites. With genome information and profiling technologies now in hand a highly parallel experimental biology is offering opportunities to explore and discover novel principles governing biological systems. Understanding biological complexity through modelling cellular systems represents the driving force which today allows shifting from a component-centric focus to integrative and systems level investigations. The emerging field of systems biology integrates discovery and hypothesis-driven science to provide comprehensive knowledge via computational models of biological systems. Within the context of evolving systems biology, investigations were made in large-scale computational analyses on transcript co-response data through selected prokaryotic and plant model organisms. CSB.DB - a comprehensive systems-biology database - (http://csbdb.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/) was initiated to provide public and open access to the results of biostatistical analyses in conjunction with additional biological knowledge. The database tool CSB.DB enables potential users to infer hypothesis about functional interrelation of genes of interest and may serve as future basis for more sophisticated means of elucidating gene function. The co-response concept and the CSB.DB database tool were successfully applied to predict operons in Escherichia coli by using the chromosomal distance and transcriptional co-responses. Moreover, examples were shown which indicate that transcriptional co-response analysis allows identification of differential promoter activities under different experimental conditions. The co-response concept was successfully transferred to complex organisms with the focus on the eukaryotic plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. The investigations made enabled the discovery of novel genes regarding particular physiological processes and beyond, allowed annotation of gene functions which cannot be accessed by sequence homology. GMD - the Golm Metabolome Database - was initiated and implemented in CSB.DB to integrated metabolite information and metabolite profiles. This novel module will allow addressing complex biological questions towards transcriptional interrelation and extent the recent systems level quest towards phenotyping.
