高O2或高CO2浓度气调贮藏对"那翁"甜樱桃采后生理和贮藏性的影响

研究了甜樱桃品种"那翁" ( Prunus avium L. cv. Napoleon)在1 ℃的高O2 浓度气调(CA-I: 70% O2+0% CO2)、高CO2 浓度气调 (CA-II: 5% O2+10% CO2)、自发气调 (modified atmosphere package, MAP) 和普通冷藏条件下果实生理、品质、耐藏性的变化.结果表明:与其他处理相比,高O2 浓度的气调可以抑制果实腐烂、减少果肉中乙醇含量,但果实的丙二醛(MDA)含量迅速上升、褐变严重.高CO2浓度的气调能有效抑制MDA含量上升的速率和多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性,保持果实硬度和维生素C含量,减少果实腐烂和褐变,延长贮藏寿命.不同处理对果实可溶性固形物含量的影响不大."那翁" 甜樱桃在5% O2+10% CO2气调中贮藏80 d能保持果实固有的风味品质.在MAP下, 70% O2+0% CO2和普通冷藏中的适宜贮藏期分别为40 d、20 d和30 d.     

龙眼果实采后失水果皮褐变与活性氧及酚类代谢的关系

研究了(10±1)℃和50%相对湿度贮藏条件下"福眼"龙眼果实果皮褐变与活性氧和酚类代谢的关系.结果表明,采后失水导致龙眼果实果皮褐变,果皮活性氧清除酶SOD、CAT、APX、GR活性和内源抗氧化物质AsA、GSH含量下降,O-2产生速率和MDA含量增加,细胞膜透性迅速增大;PPO和POD活性增加,总酚和类黄酮含量明显下降.据此认为,果皮褐变可能是细胞的活性氧代谢失调,细胞膜结构破坏,使PPO、POD与酚类物质(含类黄酮)接触、酚类物质氧化的结果.     

梨果实采后果心褐变与细胞膜结构变化的关系

作为采后贮藏中经常发生的一种生理病害——梨果心褐变,与细胞膜结构的变化、酚类底物和多酚氧化酶（PPO）的分布、PPO的存在形式和活性有关。细胞膜结构变化或遭受玻坏时,PPO与底物易接触。PPO主要以游离态形式存在且活性高,可导致严重的果心褐变。诱发果心竭变的主要因素冷害、果实缺钙和高二氧化碳伤害都与细胞膜结构的稳定性密切相关。     

高O2或高CO2浓度气调贮藏对“那翁”甜樱桃采后生理和贮藏性的影响

研究了甜樱桃品种“那翁”（Prunus avium L.cv.Napoleon)在1℃的高O2浓度气调（CA－1：70％ O2＋0％,CO2）,高CO2浓度气调（CA－II：5％ O2＋10％ CO2）,自发气调（modified atmosphere package,MAP)和普通冷藏条件下果实生理,品质,耐藏性的变化,结果表明：与其他处理相比,高O2浓度的气调可以抑制果实腐烂,减少果肉中乙醇含量,但果实的丙二醛（MDA）含量迅速上升,褐变严重,高CO2浓度的气调能有效抑制MDA含量上升的速率和多酚氧化酶（PPO）活性,保持果实硬度和维生素C含量,减少果实腐烂和褐变,延长贮藏寿命,不同处理对果实可溶性固形物含量的影响不大。“那翁”甜樱桃在5％ O2＋10％ CO2气调中贮藏80d能保持果实固有的风味品质。在MAP下,70％O2＋0％CO2和普通冷藏中的适宜贮藏期分别为40d,20d和30d。     

香蕉低温酶促褐变

7℃低温导致香蕉果皮变褐,褐变程度可用提取液的OD_(450)值表示。随低温处理时间的延长,OD_(450)增大;还原性物质抗坏血酸、谷胱甘肽含量迅速下降;多酚氧化酶底物多巴胺先有增加,接着降低。 低温下,多酚氧化酶(PPO)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性较常温低,PPO和POD的游离态酶活性增高。此外,H_2O_2处理加速果皮变褐,刺激PPO及POD活性;棓酸丙酯处理起相反的效应。故认为香蕉低温褐变是低温损伤、酶促褐变引起的一个复杂过程。     

采后枸杞鲜果褐变与其活性氧代谢的关系

以采后'宁杞3号'枸杞鲜果为试材,研究其在(4±1)℃和(10±1)℃贮藏过程中果实褐变与活性氧代谢的关系.结果表明:枸杞果实褐变指数在两种贮藏温度下的贮藏初期(0～10 d)增加幅度均较小(分别为17.6%和5.1%),(10±1)℃下的果实从第15天显著增大(64.1%),而(4±1)℃下从第20天显著增大(67.9%).(4±1)℃贮藏果实的超氧歧化酶(SOD)活性和还原型抗坏血酸(AsA)含量在采后贮藏的前10 d增大,之后降低,贮藏后期又增大;超氧阴离子(O2-)产量在采后0～5 d降低,而后逐渐增大;过氧化氢(H2O2)和丙二醛(MDA)含量在采后0～5 d增大.之后前者降低又缓慢升高.与(10±1)℃贮藏果实相比,(4±1)℃下贮藏果实O2-产量显著降低,H2O2含量在贮藏第5天和第25天也显著降低,MDA含量在贮藏5～20 d显著降低;SOD活性在贮藏5～10 d显著提高.过氧化氢酶(cAT)活性和AsA含量明显提高;多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性在贮藏15～25 d显著下降,总酚含量在贮藏5～20 d显著增加.研究发现,枸杞果实褐变可能是细胞活性氧代谢失调,使PPO与酚类物质接触,导致酚类物质氧化的结果;(4±1)℃低温贮藏能通过调整鲜果活性氧代谢来有效延缓褐变进程.     

温度和气体成分对冬枣果实贮藏期间品质的影响

主要探讨冬枣(Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv Dongzao)在-1 C的动态气调(CA-Ⅰ, 70% O2 0% CO2处理7天,然后转入5% O2 0% CO2中)、普通气调(CA-II, 5% O2 0% CO2;CA-III, 10% O2 0% CO2)及普通冷藏和常温(25C)等条件下,果实发病率、色素、可溶性固形物、可滴定酸、乙醇和乙酸乙酯含量等的变化。结果表明:与普通冷藏相比,气调贮藏能减缓果实的腐烂,抑制色素的分解和减少果肉中乙醇、乙酸乙酯的含量。动态高氧处理能有效地保持果实的颜色,抑制色素降解及果皮褐变。CA-Ⅲ (10% O2 0% CO2)能有效地减少果肉乙醇的含量而CA-Ⅱ(5% O2 0% CO2)能有效地减少果肉乙酸乙酯的含量。气调贮藏的果实可滴定酸及可溶性固形物含量与其他处理的果实没有明显的差异。     

O2和CO2配比对低温贮藏李品质及生理变化的影响

为了探索适宜‘黑宝石’李贮藏的气体参数,研究了不同气体成分(6.0%O2+5.0%CO2、6.0%O2+1.0%CO2、10.0%O2+5.0%CO2和10.0%O2+1.0%CO2)处理对贮藏及货架期‘黑宝石’李采后品质(硬度、总糖、可滴定酸和腐烂指数)、抗氧化酶(SOD、POD和CAT)活性及MDA含量的影响。结果显示:(1)在贮藏0~45 d期间,冷藏对照果实的腐烂指数在8%以下,其货架果实的硬度仍可下降;贮藏至75 d时,冷藏对照果实的腐烂指数达38%,而且其果实失去了软化能力。(2)气调处理可减缓低温贮藏李果实硬度的下降,降低果实的腐烂指数,维持货架果实的后熟能力,但6.0%O2+1.0%CO2处理对果实腐烂指数的影响不显著。(3)气调处理可提高低温贮藏李果实的SOD、POD和CAT活性,抑制这3种酶在货架模拟过程中的升高,且可降低低温贮藏及货架期果实的MDA含量。(4)气调贮藏中以6.0%O2+5.0%CO2处理的效果最佳,果实的贮藏期可达75 d。研究说明,常规冷藏(0~1.5℃)可满足‘黑宝石’李果实采后短期贮藏(<45 d)的需要,而适宜的气调贮藏可使其贮藏期限延长30 d左右。     

2,4-二硝基苯酚对采后龙眼果皮脂氧合酶活性和膜脂脂肪酸组分的影响

以'福眼'龙眼(Dimocarpus longan Lour.'Fuyan')果实为材料,研究呼吸解偶联剂2,4-二硝基苯酚(DNP)对采后果皮脂氧合酶(LOX)活性、膜脂脂肪酸组分和细胞膜透性的影响及其与果皮褐变的关系.结果表明:DNP处理导致龙眼果皮细胞膜透性、LOX活性和褐变指数增加,膜脂脂肪酸组分中的棕榈酸(C16:0)、硬脂酸(C18:0)等饱和 脂肪酸的组分增加,亚油酸(C18:2)、亚麻酸(C18:3)和花生一烯酸(C20:1)等不饱和脂肪酸的组分下降,脂肪酸不饱和指数和脂肪酸不饱和度下降.因此认为,DNP促进了龙眼果实果皮褐变可能是由于提高了LOX活性,促进了膜脂不饱和脂肪酸的降解而引起膜系统完整性受损,最终导致细胞膜结构的破坏,使酚酶与酚类物质接触而引起酚类物质氧化的结果.     

纯氧对荔枝果实贮藏期间果皮褐变和细胞超微结构的影响

研究了纯氧对荔枝果皮褐变和细胞超微结构的影响。结果表明,100％O2显著抑制了荔枝果皮褐变,在100％O2下贮藏6d的荔枝果实,中果皮细胞的细胞器和膜系统的完整性保持较好,而细胞膜透性较低,因此,认为高氧抑制荔枝果皮褐变与其维持细胞膜的完整性相联系。     

BCL2-CISD2

CISD2, an ER BCL2-associated autophagy regulator also known as NAF-1, is responsible for the human degenerative disorder Wolfram Syndrome 2. In order to interrogate the physiological role of CISD2 we generated and characterized the Cisd2 gene deletion in mice. Cisd2 null mice manifest significant degeneration in skeletal muscle tissues, which is accompanied with augmented autophagy, dysregulated Ca²⁺ homeostasis and elongated mitochondria. Our findings describe a novel role for BCL2-CISD2 in the homeostatic maintenance of skeletal muscle. It remains to be elucidated how and if the antagonism of the BECN1 autophagy-initiating complex and modulation of ER Ca²⁺ homeostasis by BCL2-CISD2 are interconnected.     

Synthesis of [11-2H2], [8-2H2], [7-2H2], [6-2H2], [5-2H2], [4-2H2] and [3-2H2] cis-9-octadecenoates

Deuterated oleates have been synthesized by semihydrogenation of acetylenic intermediates. [11-²H₂]Oleate was prepared by two-carbon chain extension of the C₁₆ alcohol obtained from [1-²H₂]octyl bromide and 7-octyn-1-ol. [8-²H₂] and [7-²H₂]oleates were both prepared from dimethyl suberate, tetradeutero intermediate C₁₆ alcohols were synthesized from [1,8-²H₄] and [2,7-²H₄]octane diols by monobromination, conversion to deuterated 9-decyn-1-ols and reaction with octyl bromide. Oxidation gave [8-²H₂]-9-octadecynoate and [2,7-²H₂]-9-octadecynoate, after semihydrogenation of the latter, deuterons at C-2 were removed by exchange with aqueous alkali. [6-²H₂] and [5-²H₂]oleates were obtained from methyl 5-tetradecynoate, semihydrogenation, deuterium exchange at C-2 and two malonate extensions gave [6-²H₂]oleate; reduction with lithium aluminum deuteride, two malonate extensions and semihydrogenation gave the [5-²H₂] ester. [4-²H₂] and [3-²H₂]oleates were both obtained from methyl 7-cis-hexadecenoate, exchange of the α protons and chain extension gave the [4-²H₂] ester and reduction with lithium aluminum deuteride and chain extension gave the [3-²H₂] ester.     

Synthesis and physicochemical properties of 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-beta-D-ribofuranosyl and 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-alpha-D-ribofuranosyl oligonucleotides

We present procedures for nucleoside and oligonucleotide synthesis, binding affinity (Tm) and structural analysis (CD spectra) of 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-alpha-D-ribofuranosyl and 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-beta-D-ribofuranosyl oligothymidylates. Possible reasons for the thermal instability of duplexes formed between these compounds and RNA or DNA targets are discussed.     

Stereospecific 2'-amination and 2'-chlorination of adenosine by Actinomadura in the biosynthesis of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-chloro-2'-deoxycoformycin

2'-Amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-chloro-2'-deoxycoformycin (2'-CldCF) are two nucleoside antibiotics produced by Actinomadura. The biosynthesis of these two nucleoside antibiotics has been studied by the addition of [U-14C]adenosine with or without unlabeled adenine to cultures of Actinomadura. By this experimental approach, it is possible to demonstrate that adenosine is the direct precursor for the biosynthesis of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF. These conclusions are based on the observation that the percentage distribution of 14C in the aglyconic and pentofuranosyl moieties of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF were similar to the distribution of 14C in the adenine and ribosyl moieties of the [U-14C]adenosine (i.e., 48:52) added to cultures of Actinomadura. Experimentally, the percentage distribution of 14C in the (i) adenine:2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranose of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine is 51:49; (ii) 8-(R)-3,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]-[1,3-diazepin-8-o1]:2 -chloro-2- beta-D-ribofuranose of 2'-CldCF is 45:55; and (iii) adenine:ribose of the adenosine isolated from the RNA of Actinomadura is 42:58. Further proof that adenosine is the direct precursor for the biosynthesis 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF was demonstrated by the addition of 75 mumol of unlabeled adenine together with [U-14C]adenosine to nucleoside-producing cultures of Actinomadura. The percentage distribution of 14C in the aglycon and the sugar moieties of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF were 46:54 and 47:53, respectively; the percentage distribution of 14C in the adenine and ribose moieties of the adenosine isolated from the RNA of Actinomadura was 51:49. These data show that the hydroxyl on C-2' of the ribosyl moiety of adenosine undergoes a replacement by a 2'-amino or a 2'-chloro group to form 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine or 2'-CldCF with retention of stereconfiguration at C-2'. Finally, Actinomadura can utilize inorganic chloride from the medium as demonstrated by the isolation of [36Cl]2'-CldCF following the addition of [36Cl]chloride to the culture medium. Mechanisms for the regioselective modification of the C-2' hydroxyl group and stereospecific insertion of the amino and chloro groups are discussed.     

Stereospecific formation of alpha-hydroxycarboxylato oxo peroxo complexes of vanadium(V). Crystal structure of (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(L-lact)2] x 2H2O and (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(D-lact)(L-lact)] x 2H2O

An overview of structurally characterized alpha-hydroxycarboxylatodioxo- and alpha-hydroxycarboxylatooxoperoxovanadates(V) is presented and the geometric parameters of the V2O2 bridging core are discussed. The first case of a stereospecific formation of oxoperoxovanadates(V) is reported: The crystal structures of the isomeric compounds (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(L-lact)2] x 2H2O and (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(D-lact)(L-lact)] x 2H2O (lact = C3H4O3(2-), the anion of the lactic acid) differ mainly in the arrangement of the V2O2 core and in mutual orientation of the V=O bonds. The complexes with achiral ligands adopt the same structural type as the complexes formed from a racemic mixture of a chiral ligand, while the structure obtained using an enantiopure L,L-hydroxycarboxylate is different.     

Convenient synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2-fluoroadenosine from 2-fluoroadenine

A convenient synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2-fluoroadenosine from commercially available 2-fluoroadenine is described. The coupling reaction of silylated 2-fluoroadenine with phenyl 3,5-bis[O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)]-2-deoxy-1-thio-D-erythro-pentofuranoside gave the corresponding 2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine derivative (alpha/beta = 1:1) in good yield. The alpha- and beta-anomers were separated by chromatography, and then desilylated to give compounds 1a and 1b.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of 2-Amino-2-deoxy-d-arabinose and 2-Deoxy-d-ribose

An efficient method for the stereoselective synthesis of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-arabinose and 2-deoxy-d-ribose is described.

The key step in this method was accomplished by the nucleophilic addition of methyl isocyanoacetate to 2,3-O-isopropylidene-d-glyceraldehyde with high erythro-selectivity (nearly 100%).

Subsequent intermolecular cyclization predominantly gave the desired oxazoline derivative (trans-form), in which two new chiral centers were formed. The oxazoline derivative was efficiently converted to both 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-arabinose and 2-deoxy-d-ribose.
