纤溶酶原在金黄色葡萄球菌感染中的作用

金黄色葡萄球菌菌体表面有多种纤溶酶原受体,包括次黄嘌呤单核苷酸脱氢酶、核糖核苷酸还原酶、α-烯醇化酶和3-磷酸甘油醛脱氢酶等,它们均可以与纤溶酶原结合。与细菌结合的纤溶酶原可被宿主的纤溶酶原激活剂(组织型纤溶酶原激活剂和尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂)或葡萄菌属的纤溶酶原激活剂(葡激酶)激活为纤溶酶。细菌表面的纤溶酶有利于其降解宿主胞外基质,穿越组织屏障,因此哺乳动物的纤溶酶原可能在金黄色葡萄球菌感染宿主过程中起重要作用。

特发性肺纤维化的机制与治疗

组织纤维化会对限制性疾病,如特发性肺纤维化(idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF)患者的肺部结构和功能造成不可逆损伤。血管外凝血、纤溶酶与纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂-1被认为在肺纤维化的发展中发挥作用。凝血激活与纤溶酶激活的蛋白酶可以分别形成和分解纤维蛋白系统,凝血酶、凝血剂和凝血因子Xa可以裂解蛋白酶活化受体促进纤维化;而尿激酶纤溶酶原激活剂的纤溶酶原蛋白酶也能结合受体引发纤维化活化。本综述聚焦IPF并描述了两个纤维蛋白稳态系统参与及促进间质纤维化,认为选择性靶向受体介导的凝血剂和纤溶酶蛋白酶既可以限制肺纤维化发展,又没有与溶栓治疗和常规抗凝血剂相关的出血并发症的危险。

链激酶(Streptok inase,SK)是世界上最早发现的纤维蛋白酶原激活剂,也是最早作为临床药品治疗血栓性疾病的溶栓酶。它是由A,C,G群链球菌中β-溶血性链球菌分泌的胞外非酶蛋白质,能和纤溶酶原结合,将纤溶酶原激活为纤溶酶,具有溶解血栓的作用。本文详细综述了该酶的性质、在溶栓酶中的地位、研究历史、作用机理等。此外,由于它有半衰期短、不具有纤维蛋白特异性、治疗后出血和血栓易复发的缺点,所以有必要用基因工程的手段进行改造,以达到更好的治疗效果。     

一种新的纤溶酶原激活反应动力学研究方法

 在溶栓研究中 ,纤溶酶原激活剂 (plasminogen activator,PA)激活纤溶酶原 (plasminogen,Plg)反应的动力学常数的测定占有重要地位 .在前人的研究中 ,虽然进行了这项实验 ,但是并未给出一个方便、快捷的测定方法 .所以建立一种更准确 ,更适合一般的实验室条件的 PA分子激活 Plg反应动力学常数的测定方法是必要的 .在对该反应进行数学分析的基础上 ,得到由可测量表示的纤溶酶 (plasmin,Plm)生成速度 (v(Plm) )的计算公式 ,由 v(Plm)及相应已知量可进一步推导出 Km、kcat的表达式 ,最终测得相应动力学常数 .用这种方法测定的由甲醇酵母 (pichia pastoris)表达的人单链尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂 (human single chain urokinase- PA,scu- PA)激活 Plg的反应的 Km=0 .648μmol·L-1,kcat=0 .0 62 6s-1,与文献报导相符 (Km=0 .4～ 1 .1 μmol· L-1,kcat=0 .0 2～ 0 .0 93) s-1,说明此方法是可靠的 .又因该法只需相应底物及酶标仪且为连续测定 ,所以十分简便 .

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.
