盐胁迫下无花果细胞质膜和液泡膜H+-ATPase活性对脯氨酸积累的影响

盐胁迫降低无花果振荡培养细胞培养液pH ,添加质膜H ATPase活性抑制剂Na3VO4 则抑制盐诱导的培养液pH下降 ,表明盐诱导培养液pH下降主要是细胞质膜H ATPase活性增加的结果。NaCl处理提高活体细胞质膜H ATPase活性 ,而降低膜微囊H ATPase活性。培养液中添加Na3VO4 5 0 μmol/L完全抑制盐胁迫下无花果细胞游离脯氨酸积累 ,但添加更高浓度Na3VO4 ,则提高细胞液泡膜H ATPase活性 ,同时Na3VO4 抑制脯氨酸积累的效应下降 ,暗示盐胁迫下无花果细胞质膜和液泡膜H ATPase共同参与细胞质pH调节 ,影响游离脯氨酸积累。

NaCl胁迫 2d ,耐盐大麦 (HordeumvulgareL .cv) (“滩引 2号”)根系液泡膜H _ATPase活性增强 ,H _PPase活性下降。以质膜Ca2 通道抑制剂La3 (1mmol/L)或Ca2 螯合剂EGTA (5mmol/L)处理大麦幼苗 ,抑制了NaCl诱导的液泡膜H _ATPase活性的增强 ,但提高了H _PPase活性 ;用CaM拮抗剂三氟拉嗪 (TFP ,2 0 μmol/L)处理 ,也抑制了液泡膜H _ATPase活性的增强。NaCl胁迫下 ,外加La3 ,TFP或La3 TFP处理 ,使Na 吸收增加 ,K 和Ca2 吸收降低。结果表明 ,NaCl胁迫下 ,液泡膜H _ATPase活性提高和离子吸收的变化可能与Ca_CaM系统有关。     

铝和铝+钙对小麦幼苗根尖质膜、液泡膜微囊ATP酶和膜流动性的影响

研究了铝和铝 钙对小麦幼苗根尖质膜、液泡膜微囊H ATP酶、Ca2 ATP酶、Mg2 ATP酶活性及其动力学参数和膜流动性的影响。在质膜和液泡膜微囊制剂中加入 1.0mmol/L的Al3 (AlCl3)时 ,H ATP酶、Ca2 ATP酶、Mg2 ATP酶活性和酶促反应的Vmax及膜流动性下降 ,而酶促反应的最适pH和Km 均不受影响。提高酶促反应介质的Ca2 (CaCl2 )浓度可以缓解Al3 对膜ATP酶活性和膜流动性的影响。推测Al3 可能通过与膜的结合而抑制膜ATP酶的活性     

草莓果实成熟过程中细胞Ca2+-ATPase活性的变化

‘春星’草莓果实成熟时,总糖和花青苷含量增加,呼吸速率也显著升高;同时,细胞溶质Ca2 -ATPase活性和微粒体膜的Ca2 ．ATPase总活性变化具有相似的特点,即先升高,至粉红期达到高峰,全红期又下降,在微粒体膜中以质膜Ca2 -ATPase占的比例最高。抑制质膜Ca2 -ATPase活性的Na3VO4能促进草莓果实花青苷积累、降低可溶性总糖含量,但对呼吸速率的影响则因草莓果实成熟度不同而异。     

水稻幼苗根细胞质膜和液泡膜微囊Ca2+-ATP酶的特性

水稻幼苗根质膜和液泡膜Ca2 -ATP酶对ATP的Km值分别为7.1和4.5 μ mol·L-1;反应的最适pH分别为8.0和7.0.两者活性均受Na3VO4和曙红B(EB)抑制;CPZ抑制质膜Ca2 -ATP酶活性,但促进液泡膜Ca2 -ATP酶活性.30mmol·L-1CaCl2浸种和CaCl2浸种结合低温锻炼预处理,均可提高此酶的活性和冷稳定性.     

NaCl胁迫下大麦根液泡膜H+-ATPase活性、离子吸收与钙的关系

NaCl胁迫2 d,耐盐大麦(Hordeum vulgare L.cv) ("滩引2号")根系液泡膜H+-ATPase活性增强,H+-PPase活性下降.以质膜Ca2+通道抑制剂La3+ (1 mmol/L)或Ca2+螯合剂EGTA (5 mmol/L)处理大麦幼苗,抑制了NaCl诱导的液泡膜H+-ATPase活性的增强,但提高了H+-PPase活性;用CaM拮抗剂三氟拉嗪(TFP,20 μmol/L)处理,也抑制了液泡膜H+-ATPase活性的增强.NaCl胁迫下,外加La3+,TFP或La3++TFP处理,使Na+吸收增加,K+和Ca2+吸收降低.结果表明,NaCl胁迫下,液泡膜H+-ATPase活性提高和离子吸收的变化可能与Ca-CaM系统有关.     

盐胁迫对小麦根质膜ATPase活性的影响

以小麦为实验材料,研究了盐胁迫对根质膜H^ —ATPase、Ca^2 —ATPase活性及H^ —ATPase蛋白表达的影响。结果显示：50、100、150mmol/L的NaCl处理72h后,小麦根质膜H^ —ATPase、Ca^2 —ATPase活性均降低。100mmol／L NaCl对质膜ATPase活性的抑制程度随处理时间的延长而增强,在处理24h后,H^ —ATPase和Ca^2 —ATPase的活性分别降为对照的72％和75％,而处理72h后,酶活性分别减小到对照的50％和48％。50、100、150mmol／L的NaCl直接作用于提取的质膜微囊,H^ —ATPase的活性分别降低约5％、8％和16％。Western blotting分析结果显示100mmol／L NaCl处理72h后,质膜H^ —ATPase的含量与对照比有所减少。本研究表明：盐胁迫抑制小麦根质膜H^ —ATPase、Ca^2 —ATPase的活性,酶含量的减少可能是盐胁迫导致质膜H^ —ATPase活性降低的原因。     

盐胁迫对沙枣幼苗不同部位矿质元素含量的影响

沙枣(Elaeagnus angustifolia L.)是我国北方生态脆弱地区造林绿化的一个先锋树种,为进一步揭示其耐盐生理机制,本文采用温室水培方法,研究了0(CK)、100和200mmol·L-1NaCl胁迫下沙枣实生幼苗不同部位(根、茎、叶和地上部分)Na、Cl、K、Ca、Mg、Fe、Cu、Mn、NO_3~--N、SO_4~(2-)-S、P等11种主要矿质元素含量、含量比值以及转移系数的变化。结果表明:(1)与对照相比,盐胁迫沙枣幼苗根、茎、叶以及地上部分Na和Cl含量急剧增加,转移能力显著降低。200 mmol·L-1盐胁迫植株根、茎、叶和地上部分离子含量分别为对照的16.2、7.2、9.6和8.7倍(Na)以及4.8、2.7、3.7和3.4倍(Cl),Na和Cl转移系数分别为对照的53.6%和69.6%。根系成为Na和Cl含量最高的器官,200 mmol·L-1盐胁迫幼苗根Na含量分别是茎、叶Na含量的4.3和2.9倍,根Cl含量分别是茎、叶Cl含量的3.7和1.5倍;(2)盐胁迫沙枣幼苗根、茎、叶和地上部分K、Ca、Mg、Fe、Cu、NO_3~--N、SO_4~(2-)-S、P含量均低于或显著低于对照,K/Na、Ca/Na、Mg/Na比值均大幅低于对照,而Mg、Fe、Cu、SO_4~(2-)-S、P的转移系数则不同程度的高于对照;(3)Ca和Mn的转移系数随着盐胁迫浓度的升高而依次显著升高,K和Ca的转移系数始终维持在较高水平(分别为1.07~1.14和1.03~1.42),且植株体内的K、Ca和Mn优先向叶片分配。综合分析推测,沙枣耐盐主要是通过根系对Na和Cl的聚积与限制作用以及茎有效地限制Na向功能叶片运输来实现的,同时也与沙枣具有较强的K、Ca和Mn转移能力有关。     

水稻及燕麦根细胞的原生质膜、线粒体内膜与液泡膜ATPase的比较研究

水稻线粒体内膜,液泡膜及质膜ATPase的最适pH分别是5,8,5;燕麦线粒体内膜,液泡膜及质膜ATPase的最适pH分别为6,8,6;水稻与燕麦三种膜ATPase的最适反应温度分别为45℃与50℃,它们均在3 mmol/LATP时达最大反应速度。DCCD对所有膜的ATPase活性有抑制作用,而NaN_3与Na_3VO_4只分别对线粒体内膜与质膜ATPase表现出抑制效应。MgSO_4,KCl,KBr和KI对ATPase活性有不同程度的激活作用。我们认为这三种膜上的ATPase都是致电子泵,但它们在运转质子的方式上有可能不尽相同,水稻和燕麦的ATPase在对环境条件的反应上也存在着差异。     

NaCl处理下大麦根系质膜微囊结合多胺与Na+/H+逆向运输的关系

NaCl10 0mmol/L处理结合外施Spd和Put以及多胺代谢抑制剂邻二氮杂菲和MGBG ,以改变大麦根系质膜结合多胺种类和数量 ,研究了大麦根系质膜上两种形态多胺与质子泵和Na /H 逆向运输活性的关系。结果发现 ,NaCl处理后大麦根系质膜微囊上存在Na /H 逆向运输活性。质膜H ATPase活性与膜上非共价键结合多胺数量间呈显著正相关 ,其中 ,Spd对H ATPase的激活程度大于Put。膜蛋白上共价键结合多胺数量与Na /H 逆向运输活性间呈极显著正相关关系 ,说明大麦根系质膜Na /H 逆向运输的盐诱导似乎与Na /H 逆向运输蛋白的从头合成有关。此外 ,质膜Na /H 逆向运输活性仅与膜蛋白上共价键结合多胺数量有关 ,而与多胺种类关系不大。     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

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.

     

Identification and Characterization of the First Equine Parainfluenza Virus 5

正Dear Editor,Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), known as canine parainfluenza virus in the veterinary field, is a negative-sense,nonsegmented, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family (Chen 2018). The virus was first reported in primary monkey kidney cells in 1954 (Hsiung1972), then it has been frequently discovered in various
