We report the first detection of a water megamaser in a radio-loud galaxy, 3C 403, and present a follow-up study using the VLA. 3C 403 has been observed as a part of a small sample of FR II galaxies with evidence of nuclear obscuration. The isotropic luminosity of the maser is 1200 L. With a recessional velocity of cz 17680 km s^–1 it is the most distant water maser so far reported. The line arises from the densest (> 10⁸ cm^–3) interstellar gas component ever observed in a radio-loud galaxy. Two spectral features are identified, likely bracketing the systemic velocity of the galaxy. Our interferometric data clearly indicate that these arise from a location within 0.1 (110 pc) from the active galactic nucleus. We conclude that the maser spots are most likely associated with the tangentially seen parts of a nuclear accretion disk, while an association with dense warm gas interacting with the radio jets cannot yet be ruled out entirely.  相似文献

WSV403是白斑综合症病毒(WSSV)的一个极早期基因,它编码一种E3泛素连接酶。在293T细胞中,利用串联亲和纯化和蛋白质谱技术筛选WSV403的相互作用蛋白,获得了15个可能与WSV403结合的蛋白。在此基础上对5个候选基因进行了克隆,并分别将它们与WSV403基因共表达。通过免疫共沉淀和免疫荧光分析证实了WSSV极早期蛋白WSV403能够与核转运蛋白(KPNA6)、丝/苏氨酸蛋白磷酸酶2A 65 kDa调节亚基A(PPP2RIA)和striatin(STRN)发生相互作用。该研究结果为进一步揭示WSV403的作用机制奠定了基础。  相似文献   

Accurate and High-Precision Measurement of Lithium Isotopes in Two Reference Materials by MC-ICP-MS   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：5

We report here a newly developed method for measurement of Li isotopes by use of multi-collector ICP-MS (Neptune) allowing rapid and high precision determination of Li isotope ratios at low levels of lithium (15–20 ng). The lithium reference sample solution IRMM-016 was analysed over a period of ten months with an external reproducibility of 0.24% (2s, n = 52). Chemical separation of Li from matrix was performed on the seawater sample IRMM BCR-403, for which a mean δ⁷Li value of + 31.0 ± 0.1 % (2s/√n, n = 31) was obtained. This mean value is in good agreement with those previously published for other seawater samples. BCR-403 seawater being readily available, we propose that this seawater sample be used as a reference sample for Li isotope measurements.  相似文献
