多氯联苯微生物脱氯研究进展

多氯联苯(polychlorinated biphenyls,PCBs)是环境中典型的氯代持久性有机污染物.微生物脱氯是一种氯代有机物自然降解模式,对全球PCBs特别是高氯代同系物消减起到至关重要的作用.厌氧条件下高氯代PCBs能够发生脱氯反应,使其毒性大大降低,脱氯后形成的低氯代化合物可以进一步好氧降解,直至完全矿化.本文综述了PCBs生物脱氯的研究进展,介绍了微生物脱氯反应的机理和特征、参与微生物脱氯过程的专性脱氯菌等,探讨了该微生物过程的影响因素及厌氧脱氯与好氧降解耦合的意义,并对脱氯微生物群落的复杂代谢网络研究、专性脱氯新菌种筛选及其污染地实际修复应用等未来研究方向进行了展望.     

氯酚类化合物的微生物降解研究进展

综述了近年在具有降解氯酚类化合物能力的微生物的筛选、氯酚类化合物的好氧和厌氧降解机制以及现代生物技术的开发利用研究．阐述了氯酚类化合物在不同条件下的降解路径．在好氧条件下,单氯酚和二氯酚在氧化酶的攻击下形成氯代邻二酚,邻二酚开环生成相应的氯代粘康酸或半醛,粘康酸内酯化过程中释放氯离子;高度氯代的化合物则是在氢氧化酶作用下生成氯代醌,并逐步脱去所有的氯原子生成苯酚后才开环．在厌氧或缺氧条件下,氯酚进行还原脱氯,在得到电子的同时去掉一个氯取代基．

地下水脱卤过程中的微生物种间代谢互作：提高原位氯代烯烃厌氧脱氯效能的有效途径

有机卤呼吸细菌(organohalide-respiring bacteria, OHRB)在氯代烯烃污染地下水的原位生物修复中扮演着关键性的角色,提高其丰度及活性对氯代烯烃的完全去除具有重要意义。在实际环境中,有机卤呼吸细菌往往与多种微生物共存,微生物种间代谢互作现象十分普遍,有机污染物的完全无害化往往需要通过微生物菌群的协同代谢作用来实现。因此,本文围绕微生物种间代谢互作进行综述,对目前获得的脱氯微生物菌种资源及脱氯机理进行了回顾,重点阐述了专性OHRB、非专性OHRB和非OHRB的种间代谢互作行为及机制,并提出以种间代谢互作为指导进行合成微生物群落的构建来有效提高氯代烯烃厌氧生物降解效率,为实现环境氯代烯烃类有机污染物的快速、彻底无害化提供理论指导。     

水稻土泥浆体系中多氯联苯的微生物厌氧脱氯

考察了厌氧水稻土泥浆体系中高氯代多氯联苯混合物Aroclor1260的脱氯过程,并对体系中的微生物群落结构变化进行分析.结果表明： Aroclor1260可在厌氧水稻土泥浆体系中发生脱氯,经过128 d,总消减率达到55.5%,在泥浆体系中引入驯化的脱氯富集培养体反而使脱氯效果下降,消减率为46.9%.Aroclor1260的主要脱氯过程发生在五、六、七氯联苯,其中七氯联苯脱氯过程最显著,五氯联苯作为脱氯产物有一定累积.有机物厌氧发酵产生的H₂会被脱氯过程所消耗,从而将体系中的氢分压维持在较低水平,抑制产甲烷过程而保证脱氯过程的持续进行.不同条件和培养方式驯化得到的微生物群落结构差异较大,富集培养体引入可能导致其与原体系中脱氯相关菌群竞争,从而改变体系原有菌群结构,这可能是导致其脱氯效率下降的原因.

R-2-卤代酸脱卤酶的同源模建及底物对映体选择性研究

对来自假单胞菌ZJU26中的R-2-卤代酸脱卤酶(DehI-R)进行同源模建,分析其与底物的相互作用,为解析酶的底物对映体选择性提供理论依据.采用Sybyl中的APM模块首次构建并优化了R-2-卤代酸脱卤酶的三维结构,并用Procheck 验证结构模型的合理性.使用Suflex-Docking模块将结构模型与底物分别进行对接,分析相互之间的作用.序列比对结果显示,R-2-卤代酸脱卤酶与恶臭假单胞菌PP3中DehI的相似性达23.71％.Deh-R模建后的结构与模板很好的吻合.模型比对分析DehI-R中参与催化的残基,除Asn2.03外大部分都比较保守.分子对接结果表明,R-2-氯丙酸和S-2-氯丙酸都可以结合到活性位点上,决定其选择性的是值点Asn203,在RS-2-卤代酸脱卤酶所对应位点的残基为Ala,相比之下,Aan具备较大的空间位阻,从而阻止了S-2-氯丙酸的反应.利用Sybyl中的Biopolymer模块对R-2-卤代酸脱卤酶中的Asn203突变成具有不同空间位阻的Ala、Gly和Gln.突变酶与底物对接结果进一步证实了Asn203位点对R-2-卤代酸脱卤酶的底物对映体选择性作用.     

填埋场氯代烃生物降解过程的机制转化与调控研究及展望

明晰氯代烃在复杂污染体系中的生物转化机制对强化污染物原位生物修复有重要意义。填埋场属典型复合污染场地,本文对不同地区填埋场填埋气中氯代烃种类、含量和其在覆盖层中的降解情况进行统计分析,发现填埋气中主要包括氯代烷烃和氯代烯烃两大类污染物,其浓度分别为0.20–32.45μg/m~3和0.50–32.45μg/m~3;覆盖土对氯代烃降解速率随着氯原子取代的增多而降低。基于覆盖层中微生物种类多、生长底物复杂多样和不同梯度氧气含量差异等特点,总结得出氯代烃在覆盖土中的降解途径主要是好氧共代谢、直接氧化和厌氧还原脱氯;并基于不同工况特点构建了氯代烃在填埋场覆盖层底部扩散至大气界面过程的生物转化机制模型。最后就复杂环境体系中氯代烃类污染物的去除进行了展望。     

微生物降解对氯苯胺的一条新代谢途径

迄今为止的研究报道表明,对氯苯胺的生物降解只能以邻位途径或修饰邻位途径进行。采用HPLC、液相色谱质谱联用技术(LC/MS)对Diaphorobacter PCA039菌株降解对氯苯胺的中间代谢产物进行了分析和鉴定,结果表明,对氯苯胺经PCA039菌株的降解形成了氯代邻苯二酚,5-氯-4草酰巴豆酸,5-氯-2-氧戊烯酸,5-氯-2-氧-4-羟戊酸,氯代乙酸等中间代谢产物,这些都是典型的间位代谢途径(meta-pathway)的中间物质,说明Diaphorobacter PCA039菌株以间位裂解途径对对氯苯胺进行降解。这对于对氯代胺的生物降解代谢研究、代谢机理及其遗传表达调控研究具有意义。

The complete amino acid sequence of the pediocin-like antimicrobial peptide leucocin C

The pediocin-like antimicrobial peptide leucocin C produced by a strain of Leuconostoc mesenteroides has been purified using a recently developed rapid two-step procedure. The complete and corrected amino acid sequence of the peptide has been determined by Edman degradation of the intact peptide and a C-terminal fragment generated by cleavage with Asp-N endoprotease. Leucocin C contained 43 residues with the following sequence: KNYGNGVHCTKKGCSVDWGYAWTNIANNSVMNGLTGGNAGWHN. The molecular weight of leucocin C as determined by mass spectrometry was 4595, which is consistent with the theoretical molecular weight of 4596 calculated from the sequence. Moreover, the molecular weights of the two fragments generated by cleavage with Asp-N were also consistent with the determined sequence.     

Purification and regulation of aspartate transcarbamylase from germinated mung bean (Vigna radiata) seedlings

Aspartate transcarbamylase (EC 2.1.3.2) was purified to homogeniety from germinated mung bean seedlings by treatment with carbamyl phosphate. The purified enzyme was a hexamer with a subunit molecular weight of 20,600. The enzyme exhibited multiple activity bands on Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which could be altered by treatment with carbamyl phosphate or UMP indicating that the enzyme was probably undergoing reversible association or dissociation in the presence of these effectors. The carbamyl phosphate stabilized enzyme did not exhibit positive homotropic interactions with carbamyl phosphate and hysteresis. The enzyme which had not been exposed to carbamyl phosphate showed a decrease in specific activity with a change in the concentration of both carbamyl phosphate and protein. The carbamyl phosphate saturation and UMP inhibition patterns were complex with a maximum and a plateau region. The partially purified enzyme also exhibited hysteresis and the hysteretic response, a function of protein concentration, was abolished by preincubation with carbamyl phosphate and enhanced by preincubation with UMP. All these observations are compatible with a postulation that the enzyme activity may be regulated by slow reversible association-dissociation dependent on the interaction with allosteric ligands     

Hemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes in the presence of copper ions

The hemolysis of red blood cells (RBC) induced by Cu(II) is modified by ceruloplasmin (Cp) and albumin. The time course of hemolysis for rabbit RBC by Cu(II) consisted of two parts, an induction period followed by a catastrophic lysis period. The induction period decreased and the lysis rate increased with increasing Cu(II) concentration. Cp or albumin, modified Cu(II) induced hemolysis, by increasing the duration of the induction period and decreasing the overall rate of hemolysis of RBC. The catastrophic lysis period coincided with a sharp increase in the formation of metHb within the cell and in a rapid uptake of Cu(II). The presence of Cp led to an increase in the induction period prior to the rapid increase in metHb formation and in Cu(II) uptake. Porcine Cp was prepared with either two or three nonprosthetic copper binding sites (sites where Cu(II) is easily removed by passing over Chelex-100). Cp with three nonprosthetic binding sites gave more protection than Cp with two. Likewise, albumin can be prepared with three and five nonprosthetic copper binding sites. The albumin with five sites gave more protection than the albumin with three sites.     

微管在气孔运动中的作用

用植物微管专一性解聚剂甲基胺草磷(APM)预处理蚕豆(Vicia faba L.)下表皮,再用诱导气孔运动的因子处理,在显微镜下观察气孔孔径的变化。结果显示,用50mg/L APM预处理开放或关闭状态气孔,虽胞质微管被解聚,但气孔孔径没有发生明显的变化,表明胞质微管与开放或关闭状态气孔的维持无关;而去掉APM后,CaCl_2可在4h内诱导气孔关闭,气孔的运动功能又可恢复。进一步的研究表明,开放气孔经APM预处理60min后,再用ABA、Ca~(2 )及暗处理均不能诱导气孔关闭,表明微管可能参与了ABA、Ca~(2 )及暗诱导的气孔关闭过程;关闭气孔经50mg/L APM预处理后,光诱导气孔开度较不经 APM处理的有明显差异,且随着APM预处理时间和浓度的变化,气孔开放程度亦不同,表明微管也参与了光诱导的气孔开放过程。

The tegument surface membranes of the human blood parasite Schistosoma mansoni: a proteomic analysis after differential extraction

The blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni can live for years in the hepatic portal system of its human host and so must possess very effective mechanisms of immune evasion. The key to understanding how these operate lies in defining the molecular organisation of the exposed parasite surface. The adult worm is covered by a syncytial tegument, bounded externally by a plasma membrane and overlain by a laminate secretion, the membranocalyx. In order to determine the protein composition of this surface, the membranes were detached using a freeze/thaw technique and enriched by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The resulting preparation was sequentially extracted with three reagents of increasing solubilising power. The extracts were separated by 2-DE and their protein constituents were identified by MS/MS, yielding predominantly cytosolic, cytoskeletal and membrane-associated proteins, respectively. After extraction, the final pellet containing membrane-spanning proteins was processed by liquid chromatographic techniques before MS. Transporters for sugars, amino acids, ions and other solutes were found together with membrane enzymes and proteins concerned with membrane structure. The proteins identified were categorised by their function and putative location on the basis of their homology with annotated proteins in other organisms.     

Mycoplasma pneumoniae induces interleukin-8 production via the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway

In mycoplasmal pneumonia, the bronchi are histopathologically filled with polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The EGFR pathway is involved in IL-8 production. We investigated the contribution of the EGFR pathway to IL-8 production by bronchial epithelial cells (A549) stimulated with Mp-Ag. The IL-8 production by A549 cells stimulated with Mp-Ag was decreased by the addition of an EGFR kinase inhibitor or transfection with small interfering RNA against EGFR. The levels of epiregulin mRNA in A549 cells were increased by stimulation with Mp-Ag. In conclusion, the EFGR pathway participates in IL-8 production by bronchial epithelial cells stimulated with Mp-Ag.
