低浓度SO2对云杉幼苗中碳水化合物代谢的影响研究

研究了低浓度SO₂对云杉幼苗的光合作用速率及碳水化合物代谢的生理生化过程的影响,测定了CO₂摄取速率、幼苗蔗糖含量、蔗糖磷酸合成酶、蔗糖合成酶和转化酶活性及ATP/ADP值.结果表明,低浓度的SO₂(200μg·m^-3)能瞬时刺激幼苗对CO₂的吸收.与对照组相比,幼苗中的蔗糖含量及蔗糖磷酸酶活性明显下降,ATP/ADP处于低水平.因此,在受到SO₂污染形成可见伤害前,幼苗的生理生化过程可能已受到干扰.

鸡肝6-磷酸果糖-2-激酶/果糖-2-,6-二磷酸酯酶单克隆抗体制备及对酶活力影响

利用鸡肝-6-磷酸果糖-2-激酶/果糖-2,6-二磷酸酯酶(6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P₂ase)的单克隆抗体对其结构和功能进行了初步研究.用鸡肝6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P₂ase为抗原免疫Balb/C小鼠,最后获得7株单克隆抗体.其中6株抗体的抗原决定簇位于6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P₂ase的酯酶结构域部分,而另一株H₂的抗原决定簇则位于其激酶结构域部分.7株单克隆抗体都能引起鸡肝6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P₂ase的激酶活力提高2倍左右,而对酯酶活力的影响大致相同.它们激活该酶的酯酶活力至4倍左右,但却不影响分离的鸡肝果糖-2,6-二磷酸酯酶结构域的酯酶活力.以上结果再次提示6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P₂ase双功能酶和分离的Fru-2,6-P₂ase结构域的酯酶处于2种不同的构象和活性状态.

Mg2+和SeO2-3对鸡胚软骨细胞受模拟微重力不良影响的拮抗

在回转模拟微重力条件下,研究了鸡胚负重软骨细胞骨架的微管系统和碱性磷酸酶活性两项指标的变化,以及1 mg/L亚硒酸钠和5 mmol/L Mg2+对这些指标的影响.流式细胞仪对微管含量的测定显示回转后微管蛋白含量的减少,说明微管系统受到不良影响.碱性磷酸酶活性比对照组明显降低,表明模拟微重力能降低软骨细胞的钙化能力.如果在回转前加入SeO2-3和Mg2+,发现SeO2-3可以在一定程度上拮抗模拟微重力引起的微管蛋白及碱性磷酸酶活性改变,而Mg2+基本上可以完全拮抗模拟微重力对这两项指标的不良影响.

光合作用对胞间和大气CO_2响应曲线的比较

利用Li-6400便携式光合作用系统测定华北平原冬小麦在温度为25℃和30℃、光合有效辐射为1500和2000 mmol·m~(-2)·s~(-1)条件下处于抽穗时期旗叶的CO_2响应曲线,研究植物光合作用对胞间CO_2响应(A/C_i)和对大气CO_2响应(A/C_a)的直角双曲线修正模型所给拟合结果的合理性.结果表明:由A/C_i和A/C_a修正模型所给的光合能力和CO_2补偿点几乎相同,但得到的光呼吸速率和初始羧化效率则完全不等;产生这种差异的原因是利用叶片气体交换测定的数据所计算的胞间CO_2浓度并不是植物叶片本身的胞间CO_2浓度;A/C_a修正模型比A/C_i修正模型更为合理是因为A/C_a所估算的光呼吸速率接近测量值.

Abstract：

By using Li-6400 portable photosynthesis system, the photosynthetic parameters of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) during its heading stage in North China Plain were measured at air temperature 25℃ and 30℃ and at photosynthetically available radiation 1500 and 2000 mmol·m~(-2)·s~(-1). The measured data were fitted with the modified rectangular hyperbola models of the photosynthetic responses to flag leaf intercellular CO_2 concentration (A/C_i) and air CO_2 concentration (A/C_a), aimed to approach the reasonability of the fitted results obtained from the models. The photosynthetic capacity and CO_2 compensation point estimated by the modified A/C_i curve and A/C_a curve were nearly the same, but the photorespiration and initial earboxylation ef-ficiency estimated by them were completely different. The difference between the two modified curves came from the calculated but not the real intercellular CO_2 concentration. Modified A/C_a curve was more reasonable than the modified A/C_i curve, because the photorespiration rate esti-mated by the former was close to the measured value.

An improved equation and assay for determining the CO2/O2 specificity for Rubisco

The determination of the CO₂/O₂ specificity factor (Ω) is very important to investigate the Rubisco carbon assimilation efficiency. In this paper, it is proved that previous formulae can introduce notable errors into calculating the CO₂/O₂ specificity factor (Ω) because CO₂ and O₂ are both the substrates and the mutually competitive inhibitors for Rubisco. A simple integrated equation is proposed to calculate the CO₂/O₂ specificity factor (Ω). On the other hand, previous multi-step procedures, including the manipulation of radioisotope (¹⁴C and/or ³H) and the chromatographic separation of the products, are inconvenient and may cause much random error. An improved assay procedure is presented therefore, which includes the spectrophotometric measurement of 3-phosphoglycerate-dependent NADH oxidation with a coupled enzyme system. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Complementing amino acid substitutions within loop 6 of the alpha/beta-barrel active site influence the CO2/O2 specificity of chloroplast ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Photosynthesis-deficient mutant 45-3B of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii contains a chloroplast mutation that causes valine-331 to be replaced by alanine within the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. This amino acid substitution occurs in loop 6 of the alpha/beta-barrel active site, three residues distant from catalytic lysine-334. The mutation reduces the specific activity of the enzyme and also reduces its CO2/O2 specificity factor by 42%, but the amount of holoenzyme is unaffected. In a previous study, an intragenic-suppressor mutation, named S40-9D, was selected that causes threonine-342 to be replaced by isoleucine, thereby increasing the CO2/O2 specificity of the mutant enzyme by 36%. To determine which other residues might be able to complement the original mutation, nine additional genetically independent revertants have now been analyzed. Another intragenic suppressor, represented by mutation S61-2J, causes glycine-344 to be replaced by serine. This change increases the CO2/O2 specificity of the mutant enzyme by 25%. Of the revertants recovered and analyzed, the mutant enzyme was improved only due to true reversion or by intragenic suppression mediated by substitutions at residues 342 or 344. Changes in the physical properties of the two pairs of complementing substitutions indicate that steric effects within loop 6 are responsible for the observed changes in the CO2/O2 specificity of the enzyme.     

Chloroplast intragenic suppression enhances the low CO2/O2 specificity of mutant ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

The competition between CO2 and O2 at the active site of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase limits net CO2 fixation in photosynthesis. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a mutation in the chloroplast large-subunit gene reduces the CO2/O2 specificity of the enzyme by 37% and causes valine-331 to be replaced by alanine. Revertant selection identified an intragenic suppressor mutation that increases the CO2/O2 specificity of the mutant enzyme by 33%. This second-site mutation causes threonine-342 to be replaced by isoleucine. The complementing amino acid substitutions flank a catalytically essential lysyl residue at position 334. It thus appears that a number of amino acid residues can influence the CO2/O2 specificity of this bifunctional enzyme. The well defined chloroplast genetics of C. reinhardtii allows the interactions of these residues to be investigated.     

Development of a routine analysis method for liposome encapsulated recombinant interleukin-2

This paper describes the development of an isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the routine analysis of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) in liposome samples. The chromatographic system employed a C₄ column maintained at 30°C eluted with 52.5% (w/w) acetonitrile in water, containing 100 mM NaClO₄ and 10 mM HClO₄. To remove phospholipid interference the chromatographic method was combined with a lipid-extraction procedure. No significant loss of rIL-2 was noted upon inclusion of this extraction step. The protein eluted from the column with a capacity factor (k′) of 5.8. The method was validated for robustness, linearity, precision and reproducibility. It was shown that the method was linear over a sample concentration range of 1–100 μg/ml. Upon assessment of the intra-day and inter-day precision, the relative standard deviations (RSD) were within the range of the methodical error (approximately 5%), except at the lower concentration of 10 μg/ml, where the intra-day RSD was relatively high (17.8%). The recovery of rIL-2 upon liposome preparation and subsequent analysis of the samples was in the range 94±9%. The results indicate that the method is suitable for routine quantitation of rIL-2 in liposomal samples.     

黄淮海平原河北省范围内农田土壤二氧化碳和氧化亚氮排放量的估算

以黄淮海平原河北省范围内的农田土壤为研究对象,通过与田间实际观测数据进行比较发现,DNDC模型能够较好地反映农田土壤温室气体CO2和N2O的排放通量,可以用来模拟估算农田土壤CO2和N2O的排放通量.根据模型估算,2003年河北省111个县市农业土壤CO2排放量约3.758×106tC,各县市总的N2O排放量40.345×106kgN.全省释放的CO2和N2O中有40%左右来自冬小麦/夏玉米地.因此,减少该地区农业土壤CO2和N2O排放量的措施,应集中用于排放量高的县市和这些地区的冬小麦/夏玉米地,进行大范围的普遍减排可能收效甚微,并且没有必要.     

Oxygen-dependent H2O2 production by Rubisco

Oxygen and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate dependent, H(2)O(2) production was observed with several wild type Rubisco enzymes using a sensitive assay. H(2)O(2) and d-glycero-2,3-pentodiulose-1,5-bisphosphate, a known and potent inhibitor of Rubisco activity, are predicted products arising from elimination of H(2)O(2) from a peroxyketone intermediate, specific to oxygenase activity. Parallel assays using varying CO(2) and O(2) concentrations revealed that the partitioning to H(2)O(2) during O(2) consumption by spinach Rubisco was constant at 1/260-1/270. High temperature (38 degrees C), which reduces Rubisco specificity for CO(2) versus O(2), increased the rates of H(2)O(2) production and O(2) consumption, resulting in a small increase in partitioning to H(2)O(2) (1/210). Two Rubiscos with lower specificity than spinach exhibited greater partitioning to H(2)O(2) during catalysis: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (1/200); and Rhodospirillum rubrum (1/150).     

Inhibitory effect of carbon dioxide on the fed-batch culture of Ralstonia eutropha: evaluation by CO2 pulse injection and autogenous CO2 methods

In order to see the effect of CO(2) inhibition resulting from the use of pure oxygen, we carried out a comparative fed-batch culture study of polyhydroxybutyric acid (PHB) production by Ralstonia eutropha using air and pure oxygen in 5-L, 30-L, and 300-L fermentors. The final PHB concentrations obtained with pure O(2) were 138.7 g/L in the 5-L fermentor and 131.3 g/L in the 30-L fermentor, which increased 2.9 and 6.2 times, respectively, as compared to those obtained with air. In the 300-L fermentor, the fed-batch culture with air yielded only 8.4 g/L PHB. However, the maximal CO(2) concentrations in the 5-L fermentor increased significantly from 4.1% (air) to 15.0% (pure O(2)), while it was only 1.6% in the 30-L fermentor with air, but reached 14.2% in the case of pure O(2). We used two different experimental methods for evaluating CO(2) inhibition: CO(2) pulse injection and autogenous CO(2) methods. A 10 or 22% (v/v) CO(2) pulse with a duration of 3 or 6 h was introduced in a pure-oxygen culture of R. eutropha to investigate how CO(2) affects the synthesis of biomass and PHB. CO(2) inhibited the cell growth and PHB synthesis significantly. The inhibitory effect became stronger with the increase of the CO(2) concentration and pulse duration. The new proposed autogenous CO(2) method makes it possible to place microbial cells under different CO(2) level environments by varying the gas flow rate. Introduction of O(2) gas at a low flow rate of 0.42 vvm resulted in an increase of CO(2) concentration to 30.2% in the exit gas. The final PHB of 97.2 g/L was obtained, which corresponded to 70% of the PHB production at 1.0 vvm O(2) flow rate. This new method measures the inhibitory effect of CO(2) produced autogenously by cells through the entire fermentation process and can avoid the overestimation of CO(2) inhibition without introducing artificial CO(2) into the fermentor.

Leucine 332 influences the CO2/O2 specificity factor of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from Anacystis nidulans.

The role of Leu 332 in ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Substitutions of this residue with Met, Ile, Val, Thr, or Ala decreased the CO2/O2 specificity factor by as much as 67% and 96% for the Ile mutant in the presence of Mg2+ and Mn2+, respectively. For the Met, Ile, and Ala mutants in the presence of Mg2+, no loss of oxygenase activity was observed despite the loss of greater than 65% of the carboxylase activity relative to the wild-type enzyme. In the presence of Mn2+, carboxylase activities for mutant enzymes were reduced to approximately the same degree as was observed in the presence of Mg2+, although oxygenase activities were also reduced to similar extents as carboxylase activities. Only minor changes in Km(RuBP) were observed for all mutants in the presence of Mg2+ relative to the wild-type enzyme, indicating that Leu 332 does not function in RuBP binding. These results suggest that in the presence of Mg2+, Leu 332 contributes to the stabilization of the transition state for the carboxylase reaction, and demonstrate that it is possible to affect only one of the activities of this bifunctional enzyme.
