采用PEG介导的原生质体转化方法,研究了将含有潮霉素抗性基因的质粒pMP-Hygro转入红曲菌9903A的影响因素。实验结果表明,原生质体转化最佳条件为:1.0mol/L的山梨醇为渗透压稳定剂;以含有50mmol/L的Ca2 和最终质量分数为40%的PEG4000为转化介质;最佳原生质体浓度和载体DNA用量分别为1×108个/mL、1μg/100μL原生质体;原生质体再生培养基采用不含无机盐的培养基,再生方式采用原生质体液涂布单层再生培基平板法。得到的平均DNA转化率可达160个/μgDNA。本文所研究的PEG介导的原生质体转化方法可以较好的向红曲菌细胞导入外源DNA,并使外源DNA在红曲菌细胞内大量表达。     

玉米大斑病菌（Exserohilum turcicum）原生质体的分离及转化

玉米大斑病是严重危害玉米生产的一个世界性真菌病害。由于玉米大斑病菌（Exserohilum turcicum）在无性生长过程中迅速产生黑色素,致使原生质体难以分离。测试了包括Fungase、Funcelase、Novozyme、Glucanex、Driselase、Uskizyme、Kitalase在内的7种细胞壁降解酶及其组合、病原菌菌株和培养基对原生质体分离效果的影响。结果表明菌株的培养形态和菌丝的生长状态显著影响原生质体的分离效率;酶组合Kitalase+Glucanex+Driselase, Kitalase+Glucanex和Kitalase+Uskizyme能够有效地分离玉米大斑病菌的原生质体。初步的转化试验表明,质粒pAN71可以用于该病原菌的转化。这些结果将为E.turcicum和Exserohium属其它真菌的基因克隆提供一些有用的信息。     

基因分子扩增的操作方法(续二)

<正> D.扩增用 DNA的分离和提取 绝大部分DNA的纯化提取,可用去污剂使细菌溶解,用石炭酸和/或旦白水解酶处理除去旦白,用核糖核酸酶除去RNA以及乙醇沉淀等操作进行。许多来源的SDS去污剂含有能破坏DNA生物学活性的物质。 Matheson、 Coleman 和 Bell的 SDS质量合乎要求。能破坏DNA或带有颜色的SDS在使用前应通过炭柱或用乙醇再沉淀。用Marmur 法在有机溶媒中振摇,能引起DNA的极大破坏,应防止。 提取细胞质中细胞器的DNA,应从提纯过的细胞器中分离以防染色体DNA的污染。超螺旋DNA如细胞器中存在的或许多病毒的中间复制体,可用染料浮力密度离心法提取。和提取全部DNA或细胞器DNA不同,从混合DNA中分离特异基因则较为困难。 1.藉物理学上的差异从混合DNA中分离特异基因 有些基因的硷基组成与混合DNA存在

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.

So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

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.
