植物细胞器遗传工程的曙光

众所周知,生物的性状是由其遗传物质DNA决定的。在高等植物细胞中,除细胞核外,叶绿体和线粒体中也都有各自的DNA。叶绿体是光能转换,光合作用的场所。线粒体是氧化磷酸化的场所。线粒体和叶绿体的DNA,都具有细胞内半自主独立的自我复制能力,在遗传上表现为特有的母性遗传。在植物细胞中,叶绿体和线粒体具有许多与细菌共同的特性。这就给人们一个启示:那些有用的来自原核生物的目的基因能否以具有原核性的叶绿体和线粒体DNA做为它们的遗传受体,用以进行光合作用的遗传工程,生物固氮及其它遗传转化的研究。     

叶绿体基因组:起源、结构与表达调控

叶绿体具有独立基因组。被认为是内共生起源的细胞器。叶绿体基因组是多拷贝的,具有比较保守的环状结构,但也存在着一些例外。叶绿体基因组主要用于编码与光合作用密切相关的一些蛋白和一些核糖体蛋白。由核基因编码的叶绿体蛋白质在胞质中先形成分子量较大的前体蛋白,而后跨过叶绿体膜,使叶绿体完成生理功能。叶绿体基因表达调控是在不同水平上进行的,光和细胞分裂素对叶绿体基因的表达也起着重要的调节作用。

水稻细胞质雄性不育及育性恢复研究进展

植物细胞质雄性不育(CMS)是广泛存在于自然界中的现象,主要表现为不能产生有功能的花粉从而导致不能正常受精结实的自然现象。CMS的起因源于受植物细胞质基因的影响表现出雄性不育的特征,目前研究表明为线粒体的基因引起的雄性不育。相应地,细胞核中存在某类基因能够编码一种蛋白使其育性得以恢复,这一类基因称为育性恢复基因(Rf genes)。杂交水稻的生产依赖于CMS的发掘和利用,并且这也是农作物增产的一条有效途径。迄今为止,水稻中CMS和育性恢复的相关研究较多,机理阐述相对比较深入,本文主要介绍水稻CMS及育性恢复基因的研究及CMS和育性恢复机理的最新研究进展,希望能为揭示水稻CMS与育性恢复机制以及其他作物的CMS/Rf研究提供参考,为新型杂交水稻的培育提供新思路。

开展红麻的CMS机理的研究有利于更好地利用其杂种优势。分别提取红麻CMS系和保持系线粒体DNA,Southern blot分析表明,cob基因的组织形式存在差异。根据不同物种cob基因的保守序列设计引物,在红麻CMS系和保持系中克隆到了cob基因,GenBank序列号分别为HM535786和HM535787。基因长度均为1179bp,编码392个氨基酸残基,分子量约为43kD。序列比较发现cob基因在CMS系和保持系同源性达99.8%,和其他物种中cob基因的同源性大于92.3%。研究结果为下一步克隆cob基因的侧翼序列,进而揭示红麻的CMS机理提供了很好的研究基础。     

叶绿体的遗传进化

叶绿体是半自主性细胞器,其生长和增殖受核基因组和自身的基因组2套遗传系统的控制、关于叶绿体的起源有2种学说,近年来．大量叶绿体基因组全序列被测定,以及分子生物学的研究结果为内共生起源学说提供了更多证据。相对于线粒体,叶绿体DNA的结构更趋于保守一,叶绿体与核基因组所编码的蛋白质互相协调来维持叶绿体的正常功能。在进化过程中,基因可能从叶绿体大量转移到细胞核中。叶绿体基因组的信息常常表现出“母性遗传”特征．因而,使之更具生物反应器的优势。

Specific Proteins in Chloroplasts of Photoperiod-Sensitive Genic Male-Sterile Rice

The chloroplast proteins of a male-sterile mutant Nongken 58S, namely “Hubei Photoperiod-sensitive Genic Male-sterile Rice”, which is male sterile under long day (LD) cycles and fertile under short day (SD) cycles, and its original cultivar Nongken 58 (Oryza sativa L. subsp, japonica, Nongken 58) at seedling stage and photoperiod sensitive stage of fertility transition could be resolved into at least 20 major and more than 70 minor protein components on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, with molecular weights ranging from 10kD to 67kD and isoelc points (pI) from 4.3 to 8.5. The mutant Nongken 58S had twospecific proteins with molecular weight of 45kD(pI6.7) and 61 kD (pI6.0) as compared with Nongken 58. Another 61 kD(pI6.2) protein was more in Nongken 58S than in Nongken 58. The existance of these proteins was not influenced by SD or LD treatment. The results showed difference in patterns of gene expression between Nongken 58S and Nongken 58. A possible function of these proteins in relation to regulation of sterility was discussed.     

Chloroplast envelope proteins are encoded by the chloroplast genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

To characterize envelope proteins encoded by the chloroplast genome, envelopes were isolated from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells labeled with [35S] sulfate while blocking synthesis by cytoplasmic ribosomes. One and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of envelopes and fluorography revealed four highly labeled proteins. Two with masses of 29 and 30 kDa and pI 5.5 were absent from the stroma and thylakoid fractions, while the others at 54 kDa, pI 5.2 and 61 kDa, pI 5.4 were detected there in smaller amounts. The 29- and 30-kDa proteins were associated with outer envelope membranes separated from inner envelope membranes after chloroplast lysis in hypertonic solution. A 32-kDa protein not labeled by [35S]sulfate was found exclusively in the inner membrane fraction, suggesting the existence of a phosphate translocator in C. reinhardtii. To identify envelope proteins exposed on the chloroplast surface, isolated active chloroplasts were surface-labeled with 125I and lactoperoxidase. The 54-kDa, pI 5.2 protein as well as a protein corresponding to either of the 29- or 30-kDa proteins described above were among the labeled components. These results show that envelope proteins of C. reinhardtii are encoded by the chloroplast genome and two are located on the outer envelope membranes.     

由细胞质雄性不育系（CMS）配制的小麦F1杂种优势形成机理的比较蛋白质组分析

分别以苗期（分蘖）、拔节期、抽穗期叶片和花粉母细胞减数分裂期、小孢子双—三核期、花粉粒时期的花药为材料,对由小麦CMS与恢复系杂交F1杂种优势形成机理作了比较蛋白质组分析。结果表明,F1杂种中有超亲、亲二型和低亲三种蛋白质表达类型出现,出现频率为亲二型＞低亲＞超亲。对这三种类型共17个蛋白质斑点作了质谱分析,其功能涉及DNA和蛋白质合成、能量代谢、环境防御,基因转座及光合作用等。苗期生长特性如叶鲜重、叶干重、叶片数,F1杂种倾向于双亲,没有观察到杂种优势现象,这与F1叶片中蛋白质表达多数呈亲二型相吻合。但F1中分蘖数多于双亲,因此其总鲜重、干重、总叶片数明显呈现出杂种优势,然而这种杂种优势现象与蛋白质组的变化是否有关需进一步研究。     

Isoelectrofocusing Electrophoretic Analysis on Soluble Protein of Germinated Embryos and Young Shoots from Different Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Lines and Their Maintainers in Wheat

The soluble proteins of germinated embryos and young shoots in Wheat were studied by means of isoelectrofocusing (IEF) electrophoresis. The materials used were three species of cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) lines (Type E, T and A) and their maintainers. The protein quantity of pI 4. 9 in male-fertile materials is higher than the corresponding male-sterile ones; the protein of pI 6.85 is probably the result of gene expression in Timopheevi cytoplasm; the protein of pI 7.6 is a typical band of Jinfeng male-sterile line. Evident differences on soluble protein chromatograms of IEF electrophoresis were observed both in germinated embryos and young shoots which were from different kinds of CMS line, these differences could be used as indexes identifying various CMS lines.     

Characterization of small-molecular-mass guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins in insulin-secreting cells and PC12 cells.

The distribution of ras-related small-molecular-mass guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (SMG) of two insulin-secreting cell lines, RINm5F and HIT-T15, and of a catecholamine-secreting cell line, PC12, have been studied using different techniques. About ten such proteins were detected by [32P]GTP binding after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and transfer to nitrocellulose membranes. In insulin-secreting cells, rho protein(s) that cannot be detected with the GTP-binding technique were identified by ADP ribosylation with Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme. After subcellular fractionation, SMG displayed specific distributions. The insulin-secreting cell line RINm5F and the catecholamine-secreting cell line PC12 expressed a similar set of these proteins with analogous localization. [32P]GTP binding analysis revealed that at least seven SMG were associated with the secretory granule enriched fraction of RINm5F cells and with the fraction containing dense secretory granules from PC12 cells, proteins of 27 (pI 5.4), 23 (pI 6.8) and 25 kDa (pI 6.7) being the most abundant. These proteins were present in a highly purified granule fraction of a solid rat insulinoma. The 23 kDa (pI 6.8) and 25 kDa (pI 6.7) proteins, but not the protein migrating at 27 kDa (pI 5.4), were detected in the corresponding fraction from HIT-T15 cells. A monoclonal antibody directed against smg25A/rab3A recognized the SMG in secretory granules migrating at 25 kDa (pI 6.7) and 27 kDa (pI 5.4). This antibody also revealed the presence of such protein(s) in homogenates of rat pancreatic islets. During stimulation of insulin secretion of either intact or permeabilized cells, there was no detectable redistribution to the cytosol or to the plasma membrane of the major proteins located on secretory granules. In view of the invariable presence of at least two of the SMG in granules of secretory cells, these proteins are good candidates for regulation of hormone secretion.
