血红密孔菌高产漆酶菌株的筛选及其对烟梗的生物降解

白腐菌是目前已知的唯一能将木质素彻底降解的微生物,而漆酶在木质素分解过程中起着重要的作用,被广泛应用于农作物秸秆或甘蔗渣等多种类型生物质的生物预处理和生物降解。本研究利用白腐菌产漆酶发酵培养基对30株血红密孔菌Pycnoporus sanguineus菌株进行筛选,得到了多株漆酶高产菌株,并研究了血红密孔菌发酵粗酶液和菌丝对烟梗的生物降解条件。研究结果表明:血红密孔菌及其产生的漆酶表现出了对烟梗木质素较强的生物降解能力。在漆酶浓度为40U/mL、温度30℃、pH4.5的条件下处理24h,烟梗中木质素的降解率可达到50.4%,纤维素和半纤维素的降解率分别为17.5%和17.3%;漆酶浓度为5U/mL、温度30℃、pH4.5的条件下处理48h,木质素降解率可达到65.1%。血红密孔菌菌丝也表现出对烟梗较好的生物降解效果,接种培养7d后烟梗中木质素降解率可达30%以上,21d后木质素的降解率可达79.1%,而纤维素和半纤维素的降解率仅为20%和12%左右。本研究不但为生物质材料的生物预处理和生物降解提供了优质的白腐菌及漆酶资源,还为通过烟梗的生物预处理提高烟草梗丝和卷烟品质提供了重要参数,具有一定的应用前景。     

一种pH稳定的黄色漆酶的快速纯化和性质特征

通过丙酮沉淀和 DEAE- cellulose DE52 柱层析, 快速、有效地从一株白腐菌 Trametes sp. SQ01 的发酵液中纯化了漆酶。纯化的漆酶并非传统漆酶那样呈现蓝色, 而是一种黄色蛋白。以 ABTS 为底物时, 该酶的最适 pH 和温度分别是 pH 4.5 和 70°C, Km 为 0.029 mmol/L。T. SQ01 漆酶在 pH 3.0~11.0时, 酶活相对稳定, 在 pH 5.0 时最为稳定, 是目前报道的 pH 稳定性最好的漆酶。低浓度的金属离子(1 mmol/L) Cu2+、Mg2+ 、Ca2+ 和Co2+ 对漆酶有促进作用, 而高浓度(5 mmol/L)的Co2+、Zn2+、 Mn2+、Mg2+ 却抑制漆酶酶活。SDS 对该酶有激活作用, 当其浓度为1 mmol/L时, 漆酶相对酶活达到128%。DTT对漆酶强烈抑制, 即使是浓度为1 mmol/L, 亦可完全抑制漆酶酶活。纯化后的漆酶对亮蓝(RBBR) (100 mg/L)的脱色能力显著, 0.5 U/mL 的漆酶在 10 min内即可达到 80%的脱色率。T. sp. SQ01 漆酶的快速纯化以及高效脱色的能力表明该酶在染料脱色降解方面有着广阔的应用前景。

黄孢原毛平革菌突变株抗碳氮营养阻遏产漆酶碳氮生理调控机理

【目的】通过比较不同碳氮营养及其消耗对产漆酶的影响,了解白腐菌模式种黄孢原毛平革菌解除营养阻遏产漆酶代谢的生理生态特性,揭示白腐菌合成漆酶的碳氮生理调控机理。【方法】分别利用限碳限氮(CL-NL)、限碳富氮(CL-NS)、富碳限氮(CS-NL)与富碳富氮(CS-NS)4种条件培养黄孢原毛平革菌野生型(WT)与突变株,比较两者产漆酶动力学、菌体生长、葡萄糖与氨氮消耗差异及其相关性来揭示解除营养阻遏产漆酶调控生理特性,明确C、N营养对产漆酶的生理调控途径。【结果】突变菌株除消耗速率比野生型略慢外,两者氨消耗趋势一致,但对葡萄糖的消耗比野生型快且氨氮浓度对葡萄糖的消耗影响不大。在CL-NL、CL-NS、CS-NL、CS-NS 4种培养条件下,野生型分别在培养后期的第11、14、19和19天的次生代谢时期产生0.107、0.029、12.84和18.05U/L漆酶,启动漆酶合成及酶峰值出现的时间与基质中葡萄糖耗尽或接近耗尽的时刻,或同氨氮消耗至最低值的时刻相对应;与WT产漆酶特性不同,突变株产漆酶伴随整个培养过程且均有两个产酶高峰,分别在培养的第8、7、12天和12天出现298.83、343.14、271.22、251.49U/L漆酶第一个产酶高峰,在培养的第12、13、19和19天产生257.69、298.78、213.81、216.93U/L漆酶的第二个产酶高峰。碳氮营养对产酶的影响显示:两菌株只要初始碳源浓度相同(限碳或富碳),各自产酶动力学趋势基本一致;相反,即使初始氮源浓度相同但其产酶动力学趋势却不同,说明碳源对黄孢原毛平革菌产漆酶的影响比氮源更为重要。【结论】野生型黄孢原毛平革菌产漆酶受碳或氮饥饿调控,碳、氮各自独立发挥作用且在不同的营养条件下由不同营养素所调控,如在限碳条件下产漆酶主要由葡萄糖饥饿启动,而在富碳条件下则由氨氮饥饿所激发,以碳或氮菌体负荷表示是否达到启动酶合成的调控阀值比单纯碳或氮浓度更为合理。突变菌株漆酶合成的启动不受碳、氮营养所阻遏,可能涉及一个全局调控的改变,解除了漆酶合成的营养阻碍。     

黄孢原毛平革菌抗营养阻遏产漆酶诱变育种及其产酶特性

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.
