免疫亲和层析法纯化棕尾别麻蝇(Sarcophagaperegrina)幼虫血淋巴凝集素

 报道了利用免疫亲和层析法纯化棕尾别麻蝇幼虫血淋巴凝集素的结果．哺乳动物红细胞能够特异地吸附凝集素．用兔红细胞与麻蝇幼虫血淋巴凝集素形成的复合体免疫供血家兔,得到麻蝇幼虫血淋巴凝集素的抗体．再利用抗体制备亲和吸附柱,通过免疫亲和层析一次性纯化了麻蝇幼虫血淋巴凝集素． Ｓ Ｄ Ｓ Ｐ Ａ Ｇ Ｅ结果显示,该凝集素的分子量约为７３ ｋ Ｄ．这一结果,与用对麻蝇幼虫血淋巴凝集素有抑制作用的糖蛋白—胎球蛋白和甲状腺球蛋白为配基,亲和层析纯化的结果完全相同,表明用这种免疫亲和层析法纯化凝集素是可行的．为不清楚专一性识别糖或专一性识别糖不典型,难于用普通亲和层析纯化的凝集素,提供了一种有效的纯化方法．

Identification and Purification of Sulfotransferases for 20-Hydroxysteroid from the Larval Fat Body of a Fleshfly,Sarcophaga peregrina

Sulfotransferase (ST) activity for 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) was identified in a larval fat body lysate of the fleshfly, Sarcophaga peregrina, but not in the hemolymph. The activity was highly sensitive to 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP) (IC₅₀=0.61 μM), a specific inhibitor of phenol ST (P-ST), but insensitive to triethylamine, a hydroxysteroid ST inhibitor. These results suggest that 20E-specific ST enzymes belong to the P-ST family, despite the fact that 20E is a hydroxysteroid. In addition to 20E ST activity, a relatively high level of 2-naphthol ST activity was detected in the fat body lysate. The ST activity for both substrates transiently decreased to the 50% of maximal levels, 6 hrs after induction of pupation. The ST enzymes were separated on a DEAE-cellulose column. The 20E-ST enzymes were eluted around 50 mM KCl as two separate peaks of close proximity and the P-ST was eluted at 0.1 M KCl. The 20E ST enzymes were further purified using 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphate (PAP)-agarose affinity column chromatography. Both of the eluted active fractions demonstrated 43-kDa proteins on SDS-polyacrylamide gel. Photoaffinity labeling with [³⁵S]-3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) showed 43-kDa bands in the fat body lysate, as well as in the purified fractions. These results suggest that the 43-kDa proteins catalyze 20E sulfation within the fat body of S. peregrina.     

Visualizing the postembryonic development of Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh fly) by NMR microscopy

The postembryonic development of the flesh fly was studied using high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. Because this development occurs in a puparium, this process cannot be observed directly using standard histological techniques. The remodelling of histolysing larval tissues to developing imaginal tissues including the yellow body, a transient alimentary structure, and the integration of the developed adult structure were revealed in the images. Most surprisingly it was found that a large gas space that forms in the central region of the prepupa moves to the dorso-anterial region in less than 5 min due to the larval–pupal apolysis together with separation of the developing pupal epidermis from the puparium.
