Abstract
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) can alter the availability of background nutrients by affecting the proliferation of heterotrophic bacteria, which exerts a notable influence on algal growth and metabolism. However, the mechanism of how allochthonous DOC (aDOC) precipitates shifts in bacterial-algal interactions and modulates the occurrence of cyanobacteria blooms remains inadequately elucidated. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between bacteria and algae under aDOC stimulation. We found that excess aDOC triggered the breakdown and reestablishment of the equilibrium between Microcystis and heterotrophic bacteria. The rapid proliferation of heterotrophic bacteria led to a dramatic decrease in soluble phosphorus and thereby resulted in the inhibition of the Microcystis growth. When the available DOC was depleted, the rapid death of heterotrophic bacteria released large amounts of dissolved phosphorus, which provided sufficient nutrients for the recovery of Microcystis. Notably, Microcystis rejuvenated and showed higher cell density compared to the carbon-absent group. This phenomenon can be ascribed that Microcystis regulated the compositions of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and the expression of relevant proteins to adapt to a nutrient-limited environment. Using time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIM) and proteomic analysis, we observed an enhancement of the signal of organic matter and metal ions associated with P complexation in EPS. Moreover, Microcystis upregulated proteins related to organic phosphorus transformation to increase the availability of phosphorus in various forms. In summary, this study emphasized the role of DOC in algal blooms, revealing the underestimated enhancement of Microcystis nutrient utilization through DOC-induced heterotrophic competition and providing valuable insights into eutrophication management and control.

Abstract
Vertically aligned one-dimensional hybrid structures, which are composed of apatite and graphitic structures, can be beneficial for orthopedic applications. However, they are difficult to generate using the current method. Here, we report the first synthesis of a single-crystal apatite nanowire encapsulated in graphitic shells by a one-step chemical vapor deposition. Incipient nucleation of apatite and its subsequent transformation to an oriented crystal are directed by derived gaseous phosphorine. Longitudinal growth of the oriented apatite crystal is achieved by a vapor-solid growth mechanism, whereas lateral growth is suppressed by the graphitic layers formed through arrangement of the derived aromatic hydrocarbon molecules. We show that this unusual combination of the apatite crystal and the graphitic shells can lead to an excellent osteogenic differentiation and bony fusion through a programmed smart behavior. For instance, the graphitic shells are degraded after the initial cell growth promoted by the graphitic nanostructures, and the cells continue proliferation on the bare apatite nanowires. Furthermore, a bending experiment indicates that such core-shell nanowires exhibited a superior bending stiffness compared to single-crystal apatite nanowires without graphitic shells. The results suggest a new strategy and direction for bone grafting materials with a highly controllable morphology and material conditions that can best stimulate bone cell differentiation and growth.

Abstract
Filtered inorganic phosphate (Pi) is largely reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. Na-Pi cotransport, with a stoichiometry of at least 2:1, mediates uphill transport at the apical membrane; at the basolateral membrane different types of transport systems can be involved in efflux and uptake of Pi from the interstitium. Regulation of transcellular Pi flux involves alteration of the apical Na-Pi cotransport; at least three different cellular control/sensing systems seem to participate in this regulation and are exemplified by parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent inhibition, Pi deprivation-dependent increase, and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I)-dependent increase in Na-Pi cotransport. For PTH inhibition, recent evidence suggests a role of the phospholipase C/protein kinase C-dependent regulatory cascade in inhibition of Na-Pi cotransport, at least at low PTH concentrations. In addition, an endocytic mechanism seems to be involved in this PTH action. Little is known of the cellular mechanisms in Pi deprivation-dependent and/or IGF-I-dependent increases in Na-Pi cotransport; they are dependent on de novo protein synthesis. Recent experiments involving an expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes led to the identification of an approximately 50 kDa membrane protein that is a good candidate for being involved in brush-border membrane Na-Pi cotransport activity.

Abstract
Biological calcification is a highly regulated process which occurs in diverse species of microorganisms, plants, and animals. Calcification provides tissues with structural rigidity to function in support and protection, supplies the organism with a reservoir for physiologically important ions, and also serves in a variety of specialized functions. In the vertebrate skeleton, hydroxyapatite crystals are laid down on a backbone of type I collagen, with the process being controlled by a wide range of noncollagenous proteins present in the local surroundings. In bone, cells of the osteoblast lineage are responsible for the synthesis of the bone matrix and many of these regulatory proteins. Osteoclasts, on the other hand, are continually resorbing bone to both produce changes in bone shape and maintain skeletal integrity, and to establish the ionic environment needed by the organism. The proliferation, differentiation, and activity of these cells is regulated by a number of growth factors and hormones. While much has already been discovered over the past few years about the involvement of various regulators in the process of mineralization, the identification and functional characterization of these factors remains an area of intense investigation. As with any complex, biological system that is in a finely tuned equilibrium under normal conditions, problems can occur. An imbalance in the processes of formation and resorption can lead to calcification disorders, and the resultant diseases of the skeletal system have a major impact on human health. A number of pharmacological agents have been, and are being, investigated for their therapeutic potential to correct these defects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We compared several features of Na(+)-dependent phosphono[14C]formic acid (PFA) binding and Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport in rat renal brush border membrane vesicles. From kinetic analyses, we estimated an apparent Km for PFA binding of 0.86 mM, an order of magnitude greater than that for phosphate and the high-affinity phosphate transport system. A hyperbolic Na(+)-saturation curve for PFA binding and a sigmoidal Na(+)-saturation curve for phosphate transport were demonstrated; based on these data, we estimated stoichiometries of 1:1 for Na+/PFA and 2:1 for Na+/phosphate. By radiation inactivation analysis, target sizes for brush border membrane protein(s) mediating Na(+)-dependent PFA binding and Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport corresponded to molecular masses of 555 +/- 32 kDa and 205 +/- 36 kDa, respectively. Similar analysis of the phosphate-inhibitable component of Na(+)-dependent PFA binding gave a target size of 130 +/- 28 kDa. We also demonstrated that phosphate deprivation, which elicits a 2.6-fold increase in brush border membrane Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport, had no effect on either Na(+)-dependent PFA binding or on the target size for PFA binding. However, phosphate deprivation appeared to increase the target size for phosphate transport (from 255 +/- 32 to 335 +/- 75 kDa (P less than 0.01]. In summary, we present evidence for several differences between Na(+)-dependent PFA binding and Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport in rat renal brush border membrane vesicles and suggest that PFA may not interact exclusively with the proteins mediating Na(+)-phosphate co-transport.

Abstract
The effects of tyrosine- and sulfhydryl-specific reagents on the Na+-dependent transport of phosphate in brush border membrane vesicles prepared from rat renal cortex were investigated. This study is the first to show that the tyrosine-specific reagents 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole and tetranitromethane inactivate the transporter in a concentration- and time-dependent fashion while the membrane impermeant tyrosine reagent, N-acetylimidazole, has no effect on phosphate uptake. The membrane permeant sulfhydryl reagent N-ethylmaleimide also caused a time- and concentration-dependent inactivation of this transport process but the membrane impermeant reagents 7-chloro-4-sulfobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole and eosin-5-maleimide had little effect on phosphate uptake. The inhibitory effects of both tyrosine- and sulfhydryl-specific reagents were additive, but no protection from inactivation by tyrosine-specific reagents could be achieved by preincubation of the vesicles with the substrates of the transporter or with competitive inhibitors of the transport process. These results suggest that the amino acids modified by these agents are located either within the membrane or on the cytosolic surface of the transporter. These residues may not participate in substrate binding, but may be important for the conformational change of the transporter necessary for the translocation of phosphate across these membranes. This study also shows that Na+-dependent phosphate transport can be inactivated by other reagents which covalently modify histidine, carboxyl, and amino groups on proteins.

Abstract
In order to obtain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D hormone production by mammalian kidney, we have devoted our efforts to the study of a mutant mouse model (Hyp). Studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport is significantly reduced in renal brush border membrane vesicles derived from Hyp mice and that the regulation of the renal mitochondrial enzymes which metabolize 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) is impaired in the mutant strain. The demonstration of abnormal phosphate transport and 25-OH-D3 metabolism in proximal tubule cells derived from Hyp kidney after 6-8 days in culture indicates that the mutant renal phenotype is independent of circulating factors and, therefore, intrinsic to the kidney. However, the precise relationship between these two proximal tubular abnormalities is poorly understood. Because the Hyp mutation segregates as a Mendelian trait, it is very likely that one mutant gene is responsible for the biochemical and clinical phenotype. Several hypotheses are put forth to explain the nature of the primary mutation in the Hyp mouse.

Abstract
Proteins from brush-border membrane vesicles of rabbit kidney cortex were solubilized with 1% octylglucoside (protein to detergent ratio, 1:4 (w/w). The solubilized proteins (80.2 +/- 2.3% of the original brush-border proteins, n = 10, mean +/- S.E.) were reconstituted into artificial lipid vesicles or liposomes prepared from purified egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (80%) and cholesterol (20%). Transport of Pi into the proteoliposomes was measured by rapid filtration in the presence of a Na+ or a K+ gradient (out greater than in). In the presence of a Na+ gradient, the uptake of Pi was significantly faster than in the presence of a K+ gradient. Na+ dependency of Pi uptake was not observed when the liposomes were reconstituted with proteins extracted from brush-border membrane vesicles which had been previously treated with papain, a procedure that destroys Pi transport activity. Measurement of Pi uptake in media containing increasing amounts of sucrose indicated that Pi was transported into an intravesicular (osmotically sensitive) space, although about 70% of the Pi uptake appeared to be the result of adsorption or binding of Pi. However, this binding of Pi was not dependent upon the presence of Na+. Both Na+-dependent transport and the Na+-independent binding of Pi were inhibited by arsenate. The initial Na+-dependent Pi transport rate in control liposomes of 0.354 nmol Pi/mg protein per min was reduced to 0.108 and 0 nmol Pi/mg protein per min in the presence of 1 and 10 mM arsenate, respectively. Future studies on reconstitution of Pi transport systems must analyze and correct for the binding of Pi by the lipids used in the formation of the proteoliposomes.
