内源抗坏血酸对水稻种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

为了解内源抗环血酸在水稻(Oryza sativa)种子中的作用,以野生型品种‘中花11’(ZH-11)、抗坏血酸合成关键酶GLDH基因的上调(超表达)株系GO-2及下调(干涉)株系GI-2为材料,研究了抗环血酸含量对其种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明,GO-2株系的种子萌发率比野生型ZH-11高6%,比干涉型GI-2高60%。外源添加1 mmol L–1抗坏血酸后,干涉型GI-2萌发率提高了22%,GO-2及ZH-11则没有明显增加。GO-2株系在幼苗的根长、株高、分蘖数和鲜重等指标上均高于ZH-11和GI-2。实时荧光定量测定结果表明,GO-2株系叶片的GLDH基因表达量显著上调,而GI-2株系则显著下调。这说明抗坏血酸有助于维持水稻种子活力和促进水稻种子发芽和幼苗生长。     

RNA—蛋白质相互作用研究的进展

分析原核生物中RNA与蛋白质的相互作用,给了我们很多的信息和启示。到目前为止,大肠杆菌核糖体是研究最多的RNP复合物,而大肠杆菌中的谷氨酰胺基tRNA合成酶和相关的tRNA是目前唯一制成RNA一蛋白质共结晶,并揭示其结构的RNA一蛋白质复合物。最近在真核生物系统中的研究不仅发现了由RNA-蛋白质结合介导的基因表达调控的机理,而且鉴定出结合RNA的蛋白家族中存在有共同的短段(Common motifs)。本文拟对目前研究的饶有兴趣的5SRNA-结合蛋白复合物以及RNP-致序列进行阐述和讨论。

Monoclonal antibodies directed to phytochrome from green leaves of Avena sativa L. cross-react weakly or not at all with the phytochrome that is most abundant in etiolated shoots of the same species

Seven monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have been prepared to phytochrome from green oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Garry) leaves. One of these MAbs (GO-1) cross-reacts with apoprotein of the phytochrome that is most abundant in etiolated oat shoots as assessed by immunoblot assay of fusion proteins expressed in Escherichia coli. The epitope for this MAb is located between amino acids 618 and 686 in the primary sequence of type 3 phytochrome (Hershey et al. 1985, Nucleic Acids Res. 13, 8543–8559), which is one of the predominant phytochromes in etiolated oats. Three other MAbs (GO-4, GO-5, GO-6) immunoprecipitate phytochrome isolated from green oat leaves, as evaluated by photoreversibility assay. GO-1, GO-4, GO-5 and GO-6 are therefore directed to phytochrome. While evidence obtained with the other three MAbs (GO-2, GO-7, GO-8) strongly indicates that they are also directed to phytochrome, this evidence is not as rigorous. Recognition of antigen by any of these seven MAbs is not significantly reduced by periodate oxidation, indicating that their epitopes probably do not include carbohydrate. All but GO-1 bind either very poorly or not at all the phytochrome that is abundant in etiolated oat shoots. These data reinforce earlier observations made with antibodies directed to phytochrome from etiolated oats, indicating (1) that the phytochromes that predominate in etiolated and green oats differ immunochemically and (2) that phytochrome preparations from green oat leaves contain very little of the phytochrome that is abundant in etiolated shoots. An hypothesis that these two immunochemically distinct phytochromes form heterodimers in vitroAbbreviations Da Dalton - DEAE diethylaminoethyl - ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay - HA hydroxyapatite - Ig immunoglobulin - MAb monoclonal antibody - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate is supported by comparison of immunoblot data obtained with conventionally purified phytochrome from etiolated oats to that expressed as fusion protein in E. coli. This research was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (contract DE-AC-09-81SR10925 to L.H.P.). We thank Dr. Lyle Crossland and Ms. Sue Kadwell for their assistance in the construction of the cDNA clones, and Dr. Gyorgy Bisztray for providing us with clone pCBP3712. Dr. Phillip Evans and Dr. Russell Malmberg kindly provided MAbs 4F3, 6F12 and 8C10, as well as a corresponding antigen preparation.

The range of antigenic specificity of Bifidobacterium peptidoglycan]

The antigenic relationships of Bifidobacterium bifidum 1 peptidoglycans with different strains of this species (LVA-3, 791, GO-4), bifidobacteria of other species (B. adolescentis GO-13, B. breve 79-38, B. lactentis 79-41, B. longum GO-3) and bacteria of remote taxonomic groups (Streptococcus faecalis 6-3. Staphylococcus aureus COM 885, S. epidermidis COM 2124. Lactobacillus plantarum 1, Escherichia coli M-17) were studied on the basis of a highly sensitive test system permitting the registration of normal human antibodies to peptidoglycans. The level of cross reactions with staphylococci and streptococci correspond to intraspecific and antigenic affinity to L. plantarum and E. coli was considerably less pronounced. Copying a number of epitopes of bifidobacteria, S. aureus peptidoglycan seems to possess additional antigenic determinants which participate in the formation of immunological responsiveness in man.

Simple oligomers as antimicrobial peptide mimics

New approaches to antibiotic design are desperately needed. The design of simple oligomers that capture the shape and biological function of natural antimicrobial peptides could prove to be versatile and highly successful. We discuss the use of aromatic backbones to design facially amphiphilic (FA) -sheet like structures which are potently antimicrobial. These oligomers capture the physiochemical properties of peptides like the Magainins and Defensins, which fold into specific conformations that are amphiphilic resulting in antimicrobial activity. However, natural peptides are expensive to prepare and difficult to produce on large scale. The design of polymers and oligomers that mimic the complex structures and remarkable biological properties of proteins is an important endeavor and provides attractive alternatives to the difficult synthesis of natural peptides. We therefore have designed a series of FA oligomers that are easy to prepare from inexpensive monomers. They adopt structures very reminiscent of amphiphilic -sheets and have significant activity with minimal inhibitory concentrations at 6 h in the low microgram per ml range (M to nM). They are active against a broad spectrum of bacteria including gram-positive and gram-negative as well as antibiotic resistant strains.

Life cycle assessment of pasture-based suckler steer weanling-to-beef production systems: Effect of breed and slaughter age

Demand for beef produced from pasture-based diets is rising as it is perceived to be healthier, animal friendly and good for the environment. Animals reared on a solely grass forage diet, however, have a lower growth rate than cereal-fed animals and consequently are slaughtered at an older age. This study focused on the former by conducting life cycle assessments of beef production systems offering only fresh or conserved grass, and comparing them to a conventional pasture-based beef production system offering concentrate feeding during housing. The four suckler weanling-to-beef production systems simulated were: (i) Steers produced to slaughter entirely on a grass forage diet at 20 months (GO-20); (ii) Steers produced to slaughter entirely on a grass forage diet at 24 months (GO-24); (iii) Steers produced to slaughter on a grass forage diet with concentrate supplementation during housing (GC-24), and (iv) Steers produced to slaughter entirely on a grass forage diet at 28 months (GO-28). Two breed types were evaluated: early-maturing and late-maturing (LM). The environmental impacts assessed were global warming potential (GWP), non-renewable energy (NRE), acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (marine (MEP) and freshwater) were expressed per animal, per kg live weight gain (LWG), kg carcass weight gain, and kg meat weight gain (MWG). The GO-20 production system had the lowest environmental impact across all categories and functional units for both breeds. Extending age at slaughter increased environmental impact across all categories per animal. The LWG response of EM steers to concentrate feed supplementation in GC-24 was greater than the increase in total environmental impact resulting in GC-24 having a lower environmental impact across categories per kg product than GO-24. Concentrate feed supplementation had a similar effect on LM steers with the exception of NRE and AP. The increase in daily LWG in the third grazing season in comparison to the second grazing and housing resulted in GO-28 having lower GWP, NRE, AP, and MEP per kg product than GO-24. Early-maturing steers had lower environmental impact than LM when expressed per kg LWG. However the opposite occurred when impacts were expressed per kg MWG, despite LM steers producing the least LWG. The LM steers compensated for poor LWG performance by having superior carcass traits, which caused the breed to have the lowest environmental impact per kg MWG. The results reaffirms the importance of functional unit and suggests reducing the environmental impact of LWG does not always translate into improvements in the environmental performance of meat.     

Isolation and characterization of extracellular glucose oxidase from Penicillium adametzii LF F-2044.1

Hydroxides of magnesium and zinc, aluminum oxide, zinc phosphate, and co-precipitated Ca3(PO4)2 and Mg(OH)2 were efficient in binding extracellular glucose oxidase (GO) of P. adametzii LF F-2044.1 in a culture liquid filtrate (CLF). Basic Al2O3 was the most appropriate adsorbent for GO isolation from the CLF of the fungus. A GO isolation method was developed, which allowed for obtaining an enzyme with a high degree of purification. Spectral properties of the enzyme, its catalytic activity, and stability were characterized. The GO of P. adametzii LF F-2044.1 exhibited high pH stability, retaining activity within the range 4.5-9.0. The rate that GO-catalyzed D-glucose oxidation increased as the temperature increased (up to approximately 60 degrees C). The catalytic activity and thermal stability of GO depended on its concentration in the medium. Under optimum conditions, the fractions GO-1 and GO-2 were characterized by KM values of 1.56 x 10(-2) and 2.19 x 10(-2) M, respectively; the corresponding values of kcat equaled 235.1 and 318.2 s(-1).

Investigation on the Anticancer and Antibacterial Mechanism of Thiazoline/Imidazoline Derived Palladium(II) Complexes

Biological activities of a series of palladium(II) complexes (M1–M9) bearing N^∩N, N^∩S, and N^∩O chelating ligands are reported. The palladium complexes were tested for their cytotoxic properties against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells and antibacterial activity against Gm^+ve and Gm^–ve bacteria. Among the palladium complexes studied (M1-M9), the complex M5, M8, and M9 were found to be more effective in inhibiting the proliferation of HeLa cells. Hence, these complexes were further investigated for their potential role in cellular damage and apoptosis. DCFDA staining, Rhodamine 123 staining and DNA cleavage assay revealed that complex M5, M8 and M9 induced apoptotic cell death in HeLa cells through ROS generation, DNA damage and mitochondrial depolarization. Computational and titration studies also indicated strong electrostatic interaction with DNA groove. Most of the complexes exhibited good antibacterial activity against both Gm^+ve and Gm^−ve bacteria. The antibacterial activity of the compounds could not be correlated with their anticancer activity indicating a differential mechanism at their effective concentrations. The detailed study on the antibacterial mechanism of the most potent complex M7 revealed that it exerted its antibacterial activity by inhibiting the function of FtsZ and perturbing the localization of the Z-ring at the mid cell.
