玉米尿卟啉原Ⅲ脱羧酶同功酶生物信息学分析、基因克隆和原核表达

尿卟啉原Ⅲ脱羧酶是生物卟啉类化合物分支合成的关键酶。从GenBank中搜寻到4种玉米尿卟啉原Ⅲ脱羧酶:Les22、UROD1、UROD2和截短UROD,氨基酸序列比对显示N端的同源性较差;玉米les22基因比urod1基因在开放阅读框的上游少3个碱基,导致阅读框移码。植物除玉米外存在高度同源的UROD1和UROD2,具有结构完整性。本文以玉米幼叶总RNA为模板,通过RT-PCR克隆了玉米les22和urod2基因,并对突变位点进行校正,同时通过定点突变获得urod1基因,它们都编码去除叶绿体导肽的尿卟啉原Ⅲ脱羧酶。再分别将les22、urod2和urod1基因插入大肠杆菌的不同表达载体,转化表达菌株BL21(DE3),16℃诱导表达18h,SDS-PAGE分析显示,Les22的N端含有组氨酸标签或SUMO蛋白,重组蛋白表达为包涵体,UROD2的N端含有组氨酸标签或SUMO、TRX、GST或MBP蛋白,未检测到目的蛋白在上清液的特异表达,而UROD1和MBP融合为可溶性表达,表明玉米UROD的N端氨基酸残基可能参与蛋白在大肠杆菌的折叠。这为研究玉米UROD的种类和功能奠定基础。

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
