Abstract:
The cDNA of an uncoupling protein (UCP) homologue was obtained by screening a chicken skeletal-muscle library. The predicted 307-amino-acid sequence of avian UCP (avUCP) is 55, 70, 70 and 46% identical with mammalian UCP1, UCP2 and UCP3 and plant UCP respectively. avUCP mRNA expression is restricted to skeletal muscle and its abundance was increased 1.3-fold in a chicken line showing diet-induced thermogenesis, and 3.6- and 2.6-fold in cold-acclimated and glucagon-treated ducklings developing muscle non-shivering thermogenesis respectively. The present data support the implication of avUCP in avian energy expenditure.

Abstract:
Many animals upregulate metabolism in response to cold. Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) increase proton conductance across the mitochondrial membrane and can thereby alleviate damage from reactive oxygen species that may form as a result of metabolic upregulation. Our aim in this study was to determine whether reptiles ( Crocodylus porosus ) possess UCP genes. If so, we aimed to place reptilian UCP genes within a phylogenetic context and to determine whether the expression of UCP genes is increased during cold acclimation. We provide the first evidence that UCP2 and UCP3 genes are present in reptiles. Unlike in other vertebrates, UCP2 and UPC3 are expressed in liver and skeletal muscle of the crocodile, and both are upregulated in liver during cold acclimation but not in muscle. We identified two transcripts of UCP3, one of which produces a truncated protein similar to the UCP3S transcript in humans, and the resulting protein lacks the predicted nucleotide-binding regulatory domain. Our molecular phylogeny suggests that uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is ancestral and has been lost in archosaurs. In birds, UCP3 may have assumed a similar function as UCP1 in mammals, which has important ramifications for understanding endothermic heat production.

Abstract:
Impaired activity of the uncoupling protein (UCP) family has been proposed to promote obesity development. The present study examined differences in UCP responses to cold exposure between leptin-resistance obese ( db/db) mice and their lean (C57Ksj) littermates. Basal UCP1 and UCP3 mRNA expression in brown adipose tissue was lower in obese mice compared with lean mice, but UCP2 expression in white adipose tissue (WAT) was higher. Basal skeletal muscle UCP3 did not change remarkably. The UCP family mRNAs, which were upregulated 12 and 24 h after cold exposure (4°C), were returned to prior levels 12 h after rewarming exposure (21°C) in lean mice. The accelerating effects of cold exposure on the UCP family were impaired in db/db obese mice. Together with these changes, WAT lipoprotein lipase mRNA was downregulated, and the concentration of serum free fatty acid was increased in response to cold exposure in the lean mice but not in db/db obese littermates. The impaired function of the UCP family and diminished lipolysis in response to cold exposure indicate that the reduced lipolytic activity may contribute to the inactivation of the UCP family in db/db obese mice.

Abstract:
Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the first UCP described. It belongs to the family of mitochondrial carrier proteins and is expressed mainly in brown adipose tissue. Recently, the family of the UCPs has rapidly been growing due to the successive cloning of UCP2, UCP3, UCP4, and UCP5, also called brain mitochondrial carrier protein 1. Phylogenetic studies suggest that UCP1/UCP2/UCP3 on one hand and UCP4/UCP5 on the other hand belong to separate subfamilies. In this study, we report the cloning from a frog Xenopus laevis (Xl) oocyte cDNA library of a novel UCP that was shown, by sequence homology, to belong to the family of ancestral UCP4. This cloning provides a milestone in the gap between Drosophila melanogaster or Caenorhabditis elegans on one hand and mammalian UCP4 on the other. Xl UCP4 is already expressed in the oocyte, being the first UCP described in germ cell lineage. During development, it segregates in the neural cord, and, in the adult, in situ hybridization shows its expression in the neurons and also in the choroid plexus of the brain. By RT-PCR analysis, it was found that Xl UCP4 is present in all the subdivisions of the brain and also that it differs from mammalian UCP4 by a very high relative level of expression in peripheral tissues such as the liver and kidney. The peripheral tissue distribution of Xl UCP4 reinforces the hypothesis that UCP4 might be the ancestral UCP from which other UCPs diverged from.

Abstract:
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial membrane transporters involved in the control of energy conversion in mitochondria. Experimental and genetic evidence relate dysfunctions of UCPs with metabolic syndrome and obesity. The PPAR subtypes mediate to a large extent the transcriptional regulation of the UCP genes, with a distinct relevance depending on the UCP gene and the tissue in which it is expressed. UCP1 gene is under the dual control of PPARγand PPARαin relation to brown adipocyte differentiation and lipid oxidation, respectively. UCP3 gene is regulated by PPARαand PPARδin the muscle, heart, and adipose tissues. UCP2 gene is also under the control of PPARs even in tissues in which it is the predominantly expressed UCP (eg, the pancreas and liver). This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of PPARs in UCPs gene expression in normal conditions and also in the context of type-2 diabetes or obesity.

Abstract:
Mice deficient in mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP) 1 are cold sensitive, despite abundant expression of the homologues, Ucp2 and Ucp3 (S. Enerbäck, A. Jacobsson, E. M. Simpson, C. Guerra, H. Yamashita, M.-E. Harper, and L. P. Kozak. Nature 387: 90–94, 1997). We have analyzed characteristics of mitochondrial proton leak from brown adipose tissue (BAT) of Ucp1-deficient mice and normal controls and conducted the first top-down metabolic control analysis of oxidative phosphorylation in BAT mitochondria. Because purine nucleotides inhibit UCP1 and because UCP2 and the long form of UCP3 have putative purine nucleotide-binding regions, we predicted that proton leak in BAT mitochondria from Ucp1-deficient mice would be sensitive to GDP. On the contrary, although control over mitochondrial oxygen consumption and proton leak reactions at state 4 are strongly affected by 1 mM GDP in mitochondria from normal mice, there is no effect in UCP1-deficient mitochondria. In the presence of GDP, the overall kinetics of proton leak were not significantly different between Ucp1-deficient mice and controls. In its absence, state 4 respiration in normal BAT mitochondria was double that in its presence. Leak-dependent oxygen consumption was higher over a range of membrane potentials in its absence than in its presence. Thus proton leak, potentially including that through UCP2 and UCP3, is GDP insensitive. However, our measurements were made in the presence of albumin and may not allow for the detection of any fatty acid-induced UCP-mediated leak; this possibility requires investigation.

Abstract:
Animal and plant uncoupling protein (UCP) homologues form a subfamily of mitochondrial carriers that are evolutionarily related and possibly derived from a proton/anion transporter ancestor. The brown adipose tissue (BAT) UCP1 has a marked and strongly regulated uncoupling activity, essential to the maintenance of body temperature in small mammals. UCP homologues identified in plants are induced in a cold environment and may be involved in resistance to chilling. The biochemical activities and biological functions of the recently identified mammalian UCP2 and UCP3 are not well known. However, recent data support a role for these UCPs in State 4 respiration, respiration uncoupling and proton leaks in mitochondria. Moreover, genetic studies suggest that UCP2 and UCP3 play a part in energy expenditure in humans. The UCPs may also be involved in adaptation of cellular metabolism to an excessive supply of substrates in order to regulate the ATP level, the NAD+/NADH ratio and various metabolic pathways, and to contain superoxide production. A major goal will be the analysis of mice that either lack the UCP2 or UCP3 gene or overexpress these genes. Other aims will be to investigate the possible roles of UCP2 and UCP3 in response to oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, inflammatory processes, fever and regulation of temperature in certain specific parts of the body.

Abstract:
Mammals and birds are endotherms and respond to cold exposure by the means of regulatory thermogenesis, either shivering or non-shivering. In this latter case, waste of cell energy as heat can be achieved by uncoupling of mitochondrial respiration. Uncoupling proteins, which belong to the mitochondrial carrier family, are able to transport protons and thus may assume a thermogenic function. The mammalian UCP1 physiological function is now well understood and gives to the brown adipose tissue the capacity for heat generation. But is it really the case for its more recently discovered isoforms UCP2 and UCP3? Additionally, whereas more and more evidence suggests that non-shivering also exists in birds, is the avian UCP also involved in response to cold exposure? In this review, we consider the latest advances in the field of UCP biology and present putative functions for UCP1 homologues.

Abstract:
Uncoupling proteins (UCP), specific mitochondrial proton transporters that function by uncoupling oxidative metabolism from ATP synthesis, are involved in thermoregulation and control of energy expenditure. The hibernoma-derived T37i cells, which possess functional endogenous mineralocorticoid receptors (MR), can undergo differentiation into brown adipocytes. In differentiated T37i cells, UCP1 mRNA levels increased 10- to 20-fold after retinoic acid or β-adrenergic treatment. Interestingly, UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA was also detected. Aldosterone treatment induced a drastic decrease in isoproterenol- and retinoic acid-stimulated UCP1 mRNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner (IC50≈ 1 nM aldosterone). This inhibition was unaffected by cycloheximide and did not modify UCP1 mRNA stability (half-life time = 5 h), indicating that it occurs at the transcriptional level. It involves both the MR and/or the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), depending on the retinoic or catecholamine induction pathway. Basal UCP3 expression was also significantly reduced by aldosterone, whereas UCP2 mRNA levels were not modified. Finally, as demonstrated by JC1 aggregate formation in living cells, aldosterone restored mitochondrial membrane potential abolished by isoproterenol or retinoic acid. Our results demonstrate that MR and GR inhibit expression of UCP1 and UCP3, thus participating in the control of energy expenditure.

Abstract:
The biochemical functions of uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are discussed with the view of UCP1 as a paradigm. In contrast with UCP1, the heterologous expression of UCP3 in yeast is found to result primarily in extra-mitochondrial deposits and thus is unsuitable for studying UCP3 function. On expression in Escherichia coli inclusion bodies, UCPs extracted and incorporated into vesicles showed no H+ transport, only Cl– transport. Only after addition of coenzyme Q was fully nucleotide-sensitive high-H+ transport reconstituted, with UCP1 as well as with UCP2 and UCP3. The newly discovered cofactor role of coenzyme Q in H+ transport is proposed to imply co-operation with fatty acids for the injection of H+ into the UCP channel.

Lipids obtained from microorganisms appear as a promising alternative for various industrial applications due to the innumerable advantages when compared to lipids derived from plant and animal sources. In this context, the objective of this work was to select Mucorales (Mucor subtilissimus, Cunninghamella echinulata and R. microsporus) fungi isolated from the Pernambuco Caatinga soil, which are potentially capable of producing biomass and lipids using alternative renewable sources. The cultivation of the Mucorales was carried out in means of production containing different concentration of sugarcane molasses and, different concentrations pH. From the selected medium, the strain with high potential to produce biomass and lipids was grown in new concentrations established from factorial planning. The yields of the biomass were calculated by gravimetry, the total lipids quantified after extraction by chloroform and methanol and the identification of the fatty acids was performed by gas chromatography (GC). Subsequently, a histochemical study was performed with the selected fungus. The data obtained showed that Cunninghamella echinulata was able to simultaneously produce high production of biomass (9,05g / L) and total lipids (46,96%) in a medium constituted by 10% of sugarcane molasses and 5% of corncina, With pH 6.0. From this selected medium, the results of the planning showed that the maximum production of biomass (10,1g / L) and lipids (47.86%) occurred in condition 4, in a medium constituted by maize (8%), cane molasses Of sugar (12%) and pH 6.0. In this way the data obtained show the high potential of Cunninghamella echinulata as a promising microorganism for the simultaneous production of biomass and lipids from renewable raw material, constituting an important technology to minimize environmental problems.
Os lipídeos obtidos por via microbiológica surgem como uma alternativa promissora em diversas aplicações industriais, considerando as inumerosas vantagens que apresentam quando comparado aos lipídeos derivados de fontes vegetais e animais. Uma seleção de fungos da Ordem Mucorales (Mucor subtilíssimus UCP 1262, Cunninghamella echinulata UCP1299 e R. microsporus UCP 1304), isolados do solo da Caatinga de Pernambuco, foi realizada com a finalidade de avaliar a acumulação de lipídeos utilizando fontes alternativas renováveis. O cultivo dos fungos foi realizado em meios contendo diferentes concentrações de melaço de cana-de-açúcar e milhocina, e diferentes valores de pH, através de um planejamento fatorial de 2³. A linhagem selecionada com maior potencial de produção de biomassa e lipídeos foram obtidos por gravimetria. Os lipídeos totais foram quantifidados após extração com o sistema clorofórmio:metanol (v/v), e a identificação dos ácidos graxos foi realizada por cromatografia em fase gasosa (GC); e maior acumulação de lipídeos foi evidenciada pelo método histoquímico. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a Cunninghamella echinulata UCP 1299 produziu o maior conteúdo de biomassa (9,05g/L) e lipídeos totais (46,96%), no meio contendo 10% de melaço de cana de açúcar e 5% de milhocina, em pH 6.0. A seleção do micro-organismo e meio de produção foram evidenciadas através do planejamento fatorial na condição 4, (milhocina a 8%, melaço de cana-de-açúcar a 12% e pH 6), com máxima produção de biomassa de 10,1g/L e de lipídeos 47,86% respectivamente. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que Cunninghamella echinulata UCP 1299 converteu os resíduos agroindustriais renováveis em biomassa, acumulando elevado teor de lipídeos, possibilitando a minimização resíduos ambientais, sem tratamento prévio, além de favorecer a elevação do valor agregado.

Abstract:
This thesis analyses the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP) against the backdrop of the question: ‘what documents must a beneficiary, acting as seller under an international sale of goods carried by sea, present to a bank, and how must he present them, in order for the presentation to be considered compliant?’. It interprets the rules through the answer to this question by looking at national law but also the range of supporting material published by the International Chamber of Commerce. This includes the International Standard Banking Practice, Banking Commission Opinions and Recommendations and DOCDEX decisions. It is unique, because it is one of the few pieces of academic research to place emphasis on these documents and argue that they provide clarification and addition to the UCP. The result of the analysis is a list of proposals for amendments and additions, specifically to UCP but also in some cases to letter of credit law generally. It is these proposals and the arguments for them that are the original contribution to research. Perhaps the most daring submission, never made before in another piece of legal writing, is the proposal that the location of the Fraud Exception to the Autonomy Principle of letters of credit, and indeed all exceptions to the principle, are to be found in the UCP themselves. Where past research has adamantly held that the UCP do not deal with fraud, I submit that they do, and the analysis of the corresponding articles evidence this. The law is stated as at 1 September 2011.

Abstract:
Letters of credit, which are a well-recognised payment instrument, have bridged international trade between different countries. The UCP, which is often regarded as “soft regulation” has provided a solid backing for the operation of documentary credits and nowadays the latest revision, UCP600 is universally incorporated into nearly all letters of credit. This thesis focuses on two vital but controversial parts in a documentary credit operation, i.e. document examination and rejection under UCP600. The central research question addressed by this thesis is: Has the UCP600 provided a sufficient framework for banks to fulfil their obligations concerning document examination and rejection under documentary credits? This question can be divided into three separate issues. Firstly, what requirements should a bank fulfil during document examination and rejection as judged by the law of documentary credits and market expectations? Secondly, what requirements have been expressly or implicitly set out in the UCP600 regime? Finally, has the current UCP system provided a proper and sufficient framework to the addressed areas? If not, what should and can be done next? In order to answer the above questions, this thesis draws upon other ICC sources, such as the ISBP, the ICC Opinions and DOCDEX decisions, which are frequently missed in other academic works. The novelty of this thesis lies in a below-the-surface analysis of the controversial areas of UCP600 by using the experience gained from recent case law before suggesting ways to move forward. The merits of this thesis are not limited to observing the current loopholes in the UCP system, but also in endeavouring to solve current problems by providing feasible suggestions for improvement for the next UCP revision.

Os fungos da ordem Mucorales têm se destacado pelo seu excelente potencial biológico na eliminação de contaminantes tóxicos do ambiente. Investigações foram realizadas no sentido de utilizar processos de biorremediação para a remoção de pireno por Rhizopus arrhizus. Estudos iniciais foram realizados para obtenção de um mutante fisiológico utilizando o teste de resistência ao pireno. O processo de germinação de esporos de R. arrhizus demonstrou que a presença de pireno (10 mg/L) nos meios de cultura testados BDA (Batata Dextrose e Ágar) e SAC (Peptona e Sacarose), acelerou o processo de germinação dos esporos das linhagens selvagem e mutante. O crescimento radial das linhagens de R. arrhizus foi inversamente proporcional ao aumento da concentração de pireno no meio de cultura. A linhagem mutante demonstrou melhor adaptação no meio de cultura contendo 50 mg/L de pireno, quando comparada à linhagem selvagem. Estudos subseqüentes foram realizados com os perfis de ácidos graxos e do sistema de ubiquinonas nas linhagens selvagem e mutante, mantidos no meio de cultura YMB contendo pireno (10 mg/L) e o controle (sem pireno). Os resultados com marcadores bioquímicos demonstraram alterações do percentual de ubiquinonas e do perfil de ácidos graxos. As duas linhagens apresentaram as Coenzimas Q7, Q9 e Q10. A linhagem selvagem demonstrou diferença no percentual da Coenzima principal Q9 (32%) em comparação com a linhagem mutante (8,4%). Uma redução discreta nos percentuais dos ácidos graxos também foi observada em ambas linhagens. A análise por cromatografia em fase gasosa (CG), evidenciou a presença dos ácidos graxos: oléico (18:1), palmítico (C16:0), palmitoléico (C16:1), esteárico (C18:0), linoléico (C18:2) e γ-linolênico (C18:3). Contudo, observou-se um aumento significativo dos percentuais de ácidos graxos saturados (C16:0) e (C18:0) e insaturados (C18:1) e (C18:2) na linhagem mutante, quando cultivada na presença de pireno (10mg/L). A análise através da cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) também demonstrou um aumento significativo no percentual da Coenzima Q9 na linhagem mutante, quando cultivada na presença de pireno (10 mg/L). Os processos de biorremoção/biossorção do pireno utilizando micélio inativado de R. arrhizus UCP402 e UCP402x, em ensaios a partir de um planejamento fatorial de dois níveis, demonstraram taxas elevadas de biossorção, 99,7% (linhagem selvagem) e 99.4% (linhagem mutante). No entanto, a cinética de remoção do pireno com o micélio vivo das linhagens selvagem e mutante, analisados através de CLAE confirmaram o excelente desempenho da biorremoção do pireno, correspondendo a 99,2% e 99,6% no meio YMB e 97,30% e 98,95% no meio SAC, respectivamente, para as linhagens selvagem e mutante. Os resultados obtidos com os processos de biorremoção/biossorção do pireno indicaram o grande potencial biotecnológico de R. arrhizus UCP 402x

Investigações foram realizadas comparativamente sobre a habilidade de biossorção de cobre e zinco pela biomassa de Phanerochaete chrysosporium UCP 963 e Cunninghamella elegans UCP 596. A remoção dos metais pesados foi avaliada utilizando-se diferentes quantidades de biomassa (120 mg e 240 mg), viva e inativada, adicionadas a solução de cobre e de zinco (4 e 6 mM), pH 5.0 sob agitação de 150 rpm, à temperatura de 28 ºC, por 480 minutos. A amostra de C. elegans demonstrou habilidade de remoção dos metais pesados na concentração de 4 mM com rendimentos de 104 mg.g-1 (55% de remoção) para o cobre, 94,44 mg.g-1 (51% de remoção) de zinco, e na concentração de 6 mM zinco removeu 129,71 mg.g-1 (53%) e cobre 171 mg.g-1 (57%), todos os tratamentos foi utilizado 120 mg da biomassa. A biomassa inativada de P. chrysosporium foi mais eficiente na remoção de cobre na concentração de 6 mM com resultados de 134,18 mg.g-1 (45% de remoção) e em ambas concentrações de zinco (4 e 6 mM) apresentando uma sorção de 73-101 mg.g-1 (59-63 %), respectivamente, durante 480 minutos. Os resultados demonstram que tanto a utilização da biomassa inativada e/ou viva de P. chrysosporium e C. elegans apresentam habilidade no processo de remoção de cobre e zinco, possibilitando uma futura aplicação na sorção de metais pesados em ambientes contaminados

The software engineering argues the implantation of activities of size estimates, effort, period and cost, as forms of improving the software projects planning and tracking. In spite of there being several techniques of estimates, the use of the same ones in software companies is not still such a common practice. The technique UCP (Use Case Points), for instance, it is adherent to object-oriented software products and based on use cases. However, they have been finding some situations where there are difficulties of obtaining resulted fully satisfactory when using the UCP. This work presents an extension of the technique UCP that is TUCP (Technical Use Case Points) being looked for a calculation more refined for the projects effort. Besides, TUCP allows a more detailed vision of estimates in the main stages of the software cycle life, making possible the accomplishment of refinements of those estimates for an accompaniment more effective of the project.

Além disso, a TUCP permite uma visão mais detalhada de estimativas nas principais etapas do ciclo de vida do software, possibilitando a realização de refinamentos dessas estimativas para um acompanhamento mais efetivo do projeto.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Prodigiosinas é uma família de pigmentos naturais, de cor vermelha caracterizado por um esqueleto comum pirrolilpirrometano, produzido por várias bactérias, porém primeiro produzido por Serratia marcescens. Este pigmento é uma droga promissora, devido às suas características de atividade antifúngica, imunossupressores e antiproliferativa. As condições ótimas para o aumento do crescimento em S. marcescens está relacionada ao aumento da produção do pigmento, sob o ponto de vista industrial. Neste trabalho, foram utilizados os meios convencionais Peptona glicerol e Manitol, bem como os meios alternativos, Caldo de arroz, de gergelim e de amendoim, visando à produção de prodigiosina pela bactéria isolada do solo semi-árido, Serratia marcescens UCP 1549, utilizando fermentação em estado sólido, a 280 C, durante 48 horas de cultivo. A produção da prodigiosina foi observada nos meios convencionais, principalmente meio Manitol, sendo obtidos 1,2g/g de biomassa, porém não foi detectada nos meios alternativos. O pigmento foi purificado por cromatografia de exclusão, empregando-se Sephadex LH-20, obtendo-se 96 frações que foram reunidas, sendo caracterizada por espectrofotometria e espectrometria de massa (GC-MS), sendo sugerido ser Undecilprodigiosina. Estudos foram realizados com a atividade citotóxica para Artemia salina demonstrando uma CL50 de 78,33μg/mL. A fitoxidade para sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa) e pimentão (Capsicum annuum) com inibição da germinação das sementes a partir de concentrações superiores a 40μg/mL, representando mais de 50% de inibição. Os resultados obtidos sugerem alto potencial biotecnológico na produção de Undecilprodigiosina pela nova linhagem de S. marcescens UCP 1549, como também indica como promissores os resultados com o meio Manitol em estado sólido, os processos de extração e purificação do pigmento
