六倍体山羊草与普通小麦杂种F1细胞学研究

粗厚山羊草［Ａｅｇｉｌｏｐｓｃｒａｓｓａ Ｂｏｉｓｓ．（２ｎ＝ ６ｘ＝ ４２,ＤＤＤ２ Ｄ２ＭＣｒＭＣｒ）］、叙利亚山羊草［Ａｅ．ｖａｖｉｌｏｖｉｉ （Ｚｈｕｋ．）Ｃｈｅｎｎ．（２ｎ＝ ６ｘ＝ ４２, ＤＤ ＭＣｒＭＣｒＳＰ ＳＰ）］与普通小麦［Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ ａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍ Ｌ．（２ｎ＝ ６ｘ＝ ４２, ＡＡＢＢＤＤ）］杂种Ｆ１ 植株形态大多偏向山羊草亲本。４ 个叙利亚山羊草×普通小麦和１ 个粗厚山羊草×普通小麦杂种Ｆ１ 自交结实,结实率在０．１％ —６．５％ 之间。这些种子胚乳很少,生活力较弱,播种后,只有少数种子出苗。杂种Ｆ１ ＰＭＣ减数分裂染色体配对水平较低,出现大量的单价体,二价体低于理论值,并且大多为棒形,说明两种山羊草的Ｄ组染色体已经过很大的修饰。在各杂种Ｆ１ 中还观察到少量的三价体,有些杂种还可见频率很低的四价体和五价体。以山羊草为母本的杂种Ｆ１ 染色体交叉频率优于反交。Ｆ１ 染色体分离极不正常,产生大量的多分孢子和微核。在叙利亚山羊草×冀麦３０ 号中还发现１ 株体细胞染色体为２１ 条的植株,其原因尚需进一步研究确定     

应用荧光原位杂交和染色体配对研究八倍体小冰麦中2的染色体组构成及染色体特征

通过染色体配对分析和荧光原位杂交（ＦＩＳＨ）技术对八倍体小冰麦中２的染色体组构成进行分析,结果表明：八倍体小冰麦中２含有的冰草染色体是来自天蓝冰草（Ａｇｒｏｐｙｒｏｎ　ｉｎｔｅｒｍｅｄｉｕｍ（Ｈｏｓｔ）Ｐ．Ｂ．＝Ｅｌｙｔｒｉｇｉａ　ｉｎｔｅｒｍｅｄｉａ（Ｈｏｓｔ）Ｎｅｖｓｋｉ＝Ｔｈｉｎｏｐｙｒｕｍ　ｉｎｔｅｒｍｅｄｉｕｍ　（Ｈｏｓｔ）Ｂａｒｋｗｏｒｔｈ　ａｎｄ　Ｄｅｗｅｙ）具同亲关系的染色体组,但冰草的这种同亲关系的染色体组不同于二倍体长穗偃麦草（Ｔｈｉｎｏｐｙｒｕｍ　ｅｌｏｕｇａｔｕｍ　２Ｘ）的Ｅ组染色体。中２含有１２条冰草染色体,且有一对染色体为小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ　ａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍ　Ｌ．）染色体和冰草染色体之间易位所形成的。     

普通小麦4A染色体重排的原位杂交研究

以普通小麦第四部分同源染色体组的１３个ＲＦＬＰ（限制性片段长度多态性）标记为探针,通过原位杂交进行了物理定位和４Ａ染色体重排的物理特征研究。ＲＦＬＰ分析确定的标记所在的染色体臂和原位杂交结果相一致。位于４ＡＬ上的９个ＲＦＬＰ探针有６个的杂交点集中分布在距着丝点约６０％～７０％的区域内。本结果支持了４Ａ染色体来自于双重易位的假说,第一次易位产生的４ＡＬ／５ＡＬ染色体又和７ＢＳ发生易位,现在的４Ａ染色体结构为４ＡＬ／５ＡＬ／７ＢＳ,保留在４Ａ的５ＡＬ、７ＢＳ染色体片段约分别为０５μｍ、２２μｍ。所用ＲＦＬＰ标记杂交点聚集的区段分布于染色体臂的近端部,可能和易位断点及染色体的交换重组有关。４ＡＬ上Ｃ－带距着丝点的相对距离和各标记杂交点集中区段距着丝点的相对距离接近。     

应用荧光原位杂交和RFLP标记检测多小穗小麦新种质10-A中的黑麦染色质

利用ＡＰＡＧＥ、荧光原位杂交技术和ＲＦＬＰ标记,对导入黑麦（ＳｅｃａｌｅｃｅｒｅａｌｅＬ．）多小穗等性状创制的小麦新种质１０＿Ａ进行了分子标记检测。ＡＰＡＧＥ分析发现,１０＿Ａ与其他１ＲＳ／１ＢＬ易位系一样,含有１ＲＳ的醇溶蛋白标记位点Ｇｌｄ１Ｂ３。以黑麦基因组总ＤＮＡ作探针,用中国春（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍｃｖ．ＣｈｉｎｅｓｅＳｐｒｉｎｇ）基因组ＤＮＡ作封阻,与１０＿Ａ根尖细胞有丝分裂染色体进行荧光原位杂交。结果表明,黑麦的１ＲＳ易位到１０＿Ａ中。用２５个ＲＦＬＰ探针进行Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ分析,进一步发现１０＿Ａ的１ＢＳ特异限制性片段发生丢失,代之以黑麦１ＲＳ的特异限制性片段,而位于其他染色体上的特异限制性片段未发生缺失。据此认为,多小穗小麦新种质１０＿Ａ属于１ＲＳ／１ＢＬ易位系。同时还讨论了１０＿Ａ在小麦遗传改良中的利用情况。     

小麦背景中黑麦1R染色体的遗传变异

运用细胞遗传学方法鉴定了来源于中国春×Ｍ２７（１Ｒ／１Ｄ代换系）的花粉植株和Ｆ２单株染色体组成。发现７个花粉植株中出现７种染色体组成变异类型,每株呈现一类变异;而２７个Ｆ２单株中,存在１１种染色体组成变异类型,变异频率仅为３７．０％,低于花粉植株。花粉植株群体中,观察到一个能稳定向后代传递的小麦／１Ｒ小片段易位,但Ｆ２群体中未检测到小麦／黑麦易位。表明常规染色体工程结合花药培养是有计划、有目的实现异源染色体小片段向小麦转移的简便、高效、快速途径。

Regulation of PCTAIRE1 protein stability by AKT1, LKB1 and BRCA1

PCTAIRE1, also known as CDK16, is a cyclin-dependent kinase that is regulated by cyclin Y. It is a member of the serine-threonine family of kinases and its functions have primarily been implicated in cellular processes like vesicular transport, neuronal growth and development, myogenesis, spermatogenesis and cell proliferation. However, as extensive studies on PCTAIRE1 have not yet been conducted, the signaling pathways for this kinase involved in governing many cellular processes are yet to be elucidated in detail. Here, we report the association of PCTAIRE1 with important cellular proteins involved in major cell signaling pathways, especially cell proliferation. In particular, here we show that PCTAIRE1 interacts with AKT1, a key player of the PI3K signaling pathway that is responsible for promoting cell survival and proliferation. Our studies show that PCTAIRE1 is a substrate of AKT1 that gets stabilized by it. Further, we show that PCTAIRE1 also interacts with and is degraded by LKB1, a kinase that is known to suppress cellular proliferation and also regulate cellular energy metabolism. Moreover, our results show that PCTAIRE1 is also degraded by BRCA1, a well-known tumor suppressor. Together, our studies highlight the regulation of PCTAIRE1 by key players of the major cell signaling pathways involved in regulating cell proliferation, and therefore, provide crucial links that could be explored further to elucidate the mechanistic role of PCTAIRE1 in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.     

Antagonism between Cry1Ac1 and Cyt1A1 Toxins of Bacillus thuringiensis

Most strains of the insecticidal bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis have a combination of different protoxins in their parasporal crystals. Some of the combinations clearly interact synergistically, like the toxins present in B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis. In this paper we describe a novel joint activity of toxins from different strains of B. thuringiensis. In vitro bioassays in which we used pure, trypsin-activated Cry1Ac1 proteins from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, Cyt1A1 from B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis, and Trichoplusia ni BTI-Tn5B1-4 cells revealed contrasting susceptibility characteristics. The 50% lethal concentrations (LC₅₀s) were estimated to be 4,967 of Cry1Ac1 per ml of medium and 11.69 ng of Cyt1A1 per ml of medium. When mixtures of these toxins in different proportions were assayed, eight different LC₅₀s were obtained. All of these LC₅₀s were significantly higher than the expected LC₅₀s of the mixtures. In addition, a series of bioassays were performed with late first-instar larvae of the cabbage looper and pure Cry1Ac1 and Cyt1A1 crystals, as well as two different combinations of the two toxins. The estimated mean LC₅₀ of Cry1Ac1 was 2.46 ng/cm² of diet, while Cyt1A1 crystals exhibited no toxicity, even at very high concentrations. The estimated mean LC₅₀s of Cry1Ac1 crystals were 15.69 and 19.05 ng per cm² of diet when these crystals were mixed with 100 and 1,000 ng of Cyt1A1 crystals per cm² of diet, respectively. These results indicate that there is clear antagonism between the two toxins both in vitro and in vivo. Other joint-action analyses corroborated these results. Although this is the second report of antagonism between B. thuringiensis toxins, our evidence is the first evidence of antagonism between toxins from different subspecies of B. thuringiensis (B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis) detected both in vivo and in vitro. Some possible explanations for this relationship are discussed.     

Role of the ASK1-SEK1-JNK1-HIPK1 signal in Daxx trafficking and ASK1 oligomerization

Overexpression of JNK binding domain inhibited glucose deprivation-induced JNK1 activation, relocalization of Daxx from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) oligomerization in human prostate adenocarcinoma DU-145 cells. However, SB203580, a p38 inhibitor, did not prevent relocalization of Daxx and oligomerization of ASK1 during glucose deprivation. Studies from in vivo labeling and immune complex kinase assay demonstrated that phosphorylation of Daxx occurred during glucose deprivation, and its phosphorylation was mediated through the ASK1-SEK1-JNK1-HIPK1 signal transduction pathway. Data from immunofluorescence staining and protein interaction assay suggest that phosphorylated Daxx may be translocated to the cytoplasm, bind to ASK1, and subsequently lead to ASK1 oligomerization. Mutation of Daxx Ser667 to Ala results in suppression of Daxx relocalization during glucose deprivation, suggesting that Ser667 residue plays an important role in the relocalization of Daxx. Unlike wild-type Daxx, a Daxx deletion mutant (amino acids 501-625) mainly localized to the cytoplasm, where it associated with ASK1, activated JNK1, and induced ASK1 oligomerization without glucose deprivation. Taken together, these results show that glucose deprivation activates the ASK1-SEK1-JNK1-HIPK1 pathway, and the activated HIPK1 is probably involved in the relocalization of Daxx from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The relocalized Daxx may play an important role in glucose deprivation-induced ASK1 oligomerization.

The estimated mean LC50 of Cry1Ac1 was 2.46 ng/cm2 of diet, while Cyt1A1 crystals exhibited no toxicity, even at very high concentrations. The estimated mean LC50s of Cry1Ac1 crystals were 15.69 and 19.05 ng per cm2 of diet when these crystals were mixed with 100 and 1,000 ng of Cyt1A1 crystals per cm2 of diet, respectively.

Characterization of Chrysanthemum ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2, homologous genes of SOC1

The MADS-box gene SOC1/TM3 (SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1/ Tomato MADS-box gene 3) is a main integrator in the Arabidopsis flowering pathway; its structure and function are highly conserved in many plant species. SOC1-like genes have been isolated in chrysanthemum, one of the most well-known ornamental plants, but it has not been well characterized thus far. We isolated and characterized ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2, two putative orthologs of Arabidopsis SOC1, from the wild diploid chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium, to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of flowering time control in chrysanthemum. Expression analysis indicated that ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 were expressed in all examined organs/tissues (leaves, shoot apices, petioles, stems and roots) with different expression levels, and with high expression in the shoot apices and leaves during the early stage of floral transition. The expression levels of ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 in the shoot apices increased at different developmental stages with the highest expression levels after 7 days of short-day treatment. Overexpression of ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 in wild-type Arabidopsis resulted in early flowering, which was coupled with the upregulation of one of the flowering promoter genes LEAFY. Our results suggested that the ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 genes play an evolutionarily conserved role in promoting flowering in Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium and could serve as a vital target for the genetic manipulation of flowering time in the chrysanthemum.     

Isolation and Characterization of Ubiquitin-activating Enzyme E1-domain Containing 1, UBE1DC1

Ubiquitin and other ubiquitin-like proteins play important roles in post-translational modification. They are phylogenetically well-conserved in eukaryotes. Activated by other proteins, ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins can covalently modify target proteins. The enzymes responsible for the activation of this modification have been known to include UBA1, SAE2, UBA3, SAE1 and ULA1. Here we report a new ubiquitin activating enzyme like cDNA, named ubiquitin activating enzyme E1-domain containing 1 (UBE1DC1), whose cDNA is 2654 base pairs in length and contains an open reading frame encoding 404 amino acids. The UBE1DC1 gene consists of 12 exons and is located at human chromosome 3q22. The result of RT-PCR showed that UBE1DC1 is expressed in most of human tissues. These two authors contributed equally to this paper. The nucleotide sequence reported in this paper has been submitted to GenBank under accession number AY253672.
