Erucic acid (EA) is one of the key fatty acids usually found in canola oil, mustard oil and rapeseed oil. Consumption of EA in primates was found to cause myocardial lipidosis and cardiac steatosis. To have an insight of the effect of EA in humans, we performed in vitro interaction studies of EA with the primary plasma protein, human serum albumin (HSA). Spectroscopic (UV-vis and fluorescence) analysis of the HSA-EA interaction revealed a static mode of quenching with binding constant K<SUB>b</SUB> ~10<SUP>4</SUP> reflecting high affinity of EA for HSA. The negative value of ΔG<SUP>o</SUP> for binding of EA to HSA in the fluorescence studies indicates the process to be spontaneous. Thermodynamic signatures of the HSA-EA interaction in the complex reflect dominance of hydrogen bonds. Despite predominance of hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions in the HSA-EA complex were found acting as a contributing factor in the binding of EA to HSA, observed as structural change in the far-UV CD spectra. Forster's resonance energy transfer of the EA-HSA complex revealed a distance of 3.2nm between acceptor molecules (EA) and the donor Trp residue of HSA. To have a deeper insight of the structural dependence of the HSA-EA interaction in the complex, thermodynamic study was supplemented with molecular docking. The molecular docking analysis further highlighted the EA binding in the subdomain IIIA (Sudlow site II) of HSA. The information generated in the study reflects greater pharmacological significance of EA and highlights its importance in the clinical medicine.

Rabbani M. G.,Solaiman A. R. M.,Hossain K. M.,Hossain T. The Korean Society of Crop Science 2005 Korean journal of crop science Vol.50 No.2

The effects of Rhizobium inoculant, nitrogen, phosphorus, and molybdenum on nodulation, dry matter production, yield attributes, pod and seed yields, protein and phosphorus contents in seed of pea (pisum sativum) var. IPSA Motorshuti-3 were assessed by a field experiment. Among the treatments Rhizobium inoculant in combination with 25kg P and 1.5kg Mo/ha performed best in recording number of nodules/plant, total dry matter yield, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, 1000-seed weight, green pod yield, green and mature seed yields of pea. The highest green pod yield of 15.37 t/ha ($97.05\%$ increase over control) and green seed yield of 9.6t/ha ($69.31\%$ increase over control) were obtained by inoculating pea with Rhizobium inoculant in association with 25kg P and 1.5 Mo/ha. The effects of 60 or 120kg N/ha were comparable to Rhizobium inoculant in most cases. There were positive correlations among yield attributes, yield, protein and phosphorus contents in seeds of pea. From the viewpoint of yield attributes, yield, and seed quality, application of Rhizobium inoculant along with 25kg P and 1.5kg Mo/ha was considered to be the balanced combination of nutrients for achieving the maximum output from cultivation of pea in Shallow-Red Brown Terrace Soil of Bangladesh.

The experiment was conducted at the Ban-gabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur to study the response of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) to dual inoculation of Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhiza, poultry litter, nitrogen, and phosphorus on spore population and colonization, nodulation, growth, yield attributes, and yield. The performance of Rhizobium inoculant alone was superior to control in all the parameters of the crop studied. Among the treatments dual inoculation of Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhiza in presence of poultry litter performed best in recording number and dry weight of nodules, dry weight of shoots and roots, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, and seed yields of chickpea. The highest seed yield of 3.96g/plant was obtained by inoculating chickpea plants with dual inoculation of Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhiza in association with poultry litter. Treatments receiving dual inoculation of Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhiza in presence of nitrogen and phosphorus, Rhizobium inoculant in presence of nitrogen and phosphorus, and that of arbuscular mycorrhiza in presence of nitrogen and phosphorus were similar as that of treatment receiving dual inoculation of Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhiza in presence of poultry litter. From the view point of nodulation, growth, yield attributes, and yields of chickpea, dual inoculation of Rhizobium inoculant and arbuscular mycorrhiza along with poultry litter was considered to be the balanced combination of nutrients for achieving the maximum output from cultivation of chickpea in Shallow Red Brown Terrace Soil of Bangladesh.

The effects of Rhizobium inoculant, compost, and nitrogen on nodulation, growth, dry matter production, yield attributes, and yield of pea (Pisum sativum) var, IPSA Motorshuti-3 were assessed by a field experiment. Among the treatments Rhizobium inoculant alone performed best in recording number and dry weight of nodules/plant. The highest green seed yield of 8.38 ton/ha (36.9% increase over control) and mature seed yield of 2.97 ton/ha (73.7% increase over control) were obtained by the application of 90 kg N/ha. The effects of 60 kg N/ha, Rhizobium inoculant alone and Rhizobium inoculant along with 5 ton compost/ha were same as the effect of 90 kg N/ha in recording plant height, root length, dry weight of shoot, and root both at preflowering and pod filling stages, number of mature pods/plant, number of mature seeds/pod, 1000-seed weight, green, and mature seed yields of pea.

Fibromodulin and regulation of the intricate balance between myoblast differentiation to myocytes or adipocyte-like cells

Lee, E. J.,Jan, A. T.,Baig, M. H.,Ahmad, K.,Malik, A.,Rabbani, G.,Kim, T.,Lee, I.-K.,Lee, Y. H.,Park, S.-Y. Federation of American Societies for Experimental 2018 The FASEB Journal Vol. No.

<P>Interactions between myoblasts and the surrounding microenvironment led us to explore the role of fibromodulin (FMOD), an extracellular matrix protein, in the maintenance of myoblast stemness and function. Microarray analysis of FMODkd myoblasts and in silico studies were used to identify the top most differentially expressed genes in FMODkd, and helped establish that FMOD-based regulations of integral membrane protein 2a and clusterin are essential components of the myogenic program. Studies in knockout, obese, and diabetic mouse models helped characterize the operation of a novel FMOD-based regulatory circuit that controls myoblast switching from a myogenic to a lipid accumulation fate. FMOD regulation of myoblasts is an essential part of the myogenic program, and it offers opportunities for the development of therapeutics for the treatment of different muscle diseases.</P>
