一个新的水稻MADS—box基因的克隆及表达分析

根据ＭＡＤＳ－ｂｏｘ基因保守区结构,设计简并性引物,利用３＇ＲＡＣＥ从水稻（Ｏｒｙｚａ ｓａｔｉｖａ Ｌ．）中克隆了１个新的水稻ＭＡＤＳ－ｂｏｘ基因的ｃＤＮＡ片段,同时利用５＆ＲＡＣＥ获得了全长ｃＤｎＡ命名为ＦＤＲＭＡＤＳＳ。序列分析表明,该ｃＤＮＡ全长１４０６ｂｐ,开放阅读框共编码２３３个到,具有典型的植物ＭＡＤＳ－ｂｏｘ基因的结构。推测的氨基酸序列与拟南芥的ＭＡＤＳ－ｂｏｘ基因,ＡＧＬ１４同     

谷子核酮糖1,5—二磷酸羧化加氧酶大亚基基因的核苷酸序列

谷子（Ｓｅｔａｒｉａ ｉｔａｌｉｃａ）叶绿体ＤＮＡ 含有ｒｂｃＬ基因的３．０ ｋｂ Ｂｇｌ Ⅱ＋ ＸｂａⅠ酶切片段被克隆到ｐＢｌｕｅｓｃｒｉｐｔ ＳＫ （－ ）质粒载体上,并构建了该基因的限制性酶切图谱,测定了该基因的１９９０ ｂｐ 全序列。其中基因的编码区长１４３１ ｂｐ,共编码４７６ 个氨基酸,推测其分子量为５２６７９ Ｄ。其３８９ ｂｐ 的５′上游区含有类似于原核生物的－ １０ ｂｏｘ、－ ３５ ｂｏｘ 和ＳＤ序列。其１７０ ｂｐ ３′下游区含有３ 个茎环结构。对Ｃ４ 植物和Ｃ３ 植物中的ｒｂｃＬ基因序列进行比较,表明在编码区、启动区和３′下游区没有差别。由此认为Ｃ４ 植物中ｒｂｃＬ基因的细胞特异性表达与其序列无关

人食管鳞状上皮癌糖复合物表达的研究

凝集素可与其相对应的糖复合物特异性结合。在癌症形成过程中细胞表面经历着显著的变化,本文用十种生物素化凝集素即ＵＥＡ－Ｉ、ＲＣＡ－Ｉ、ＤＢＡ、ＰＳＡ、ＰＮＡ、ＢＳＬ、ＬＣＡ、ＷＧＡ、ＣｏｎＡ和ＳＢＡ作为探针,对正常食管上皮和食管鳞状上皮癌进行研究,以确定正常食管上皮和食管鳞状上皮癌中糖复合物的改变,结果发现,ＰＮＡ和ＰＳＡ在正常食管和食管鳞状上皮癌中均无反应,ＲＣＡ－Ｉ、ＤＢＡ、ＢＳＬ、ＬＣＡ、ＣｏｎＡ和ＳＢＡ受体在正常和癌组织中有着特征性变化,ＢＳＬ和ＤＢＡ在食管中无反应,ＬＣＡ、ＳＢＡ和ＲＣＡ－１正常食管和食管鳞状上皮癌中反应方式不同,ＣｏｎＡ和ＷＧＡ则在同一癌组织的不同部位都显示出不同的反应。尽管ＵＥＡ－Ｉ在正常食管和食管鳞状上皮癌均呈阳性反应,但似乎未表现出有意义的变化。上述结果提示食管癌的发生与含α－Ｄ－ＧａｌＮＡｃ（ＤＢＡ和ＳＢＡ）、β－Ｄ－Ｇａｌ／β－Ｎ－ａｃｅｔｙｌ－Ｄ－Ｇａｌａｃｔｏｓａｍｉｎｅ（ＲＣＡ－Ｉ）、α－Ｄ－Ｇｌｃ／α－Ｄ－Ｍａｎ（ＬＣＡ和ＣｏｎＡ）、［β－（１－４）－Ｄ－ＧｌｃＮＡｃ］２／ＮｅｕＮＡｃ（ＷＧＡ）和α－Ｄ－Ｇａｌ（ＢＳＬ）等的糖复合物的改变有较为密切的关系。

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

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.     

Enterovirus 71 3C proteolytically processes the histone H3 N-terminal tail during infection

Highlights
1. The N-terminal tail of histone H3 is specifically cleaved during EV71 infection.
2. Viral protease 3C is identified as a protease responsible for proteolytically processing the N-terminal H3 tail.
3. Our finding reveals a new epigenetic regulatory mechanism for Enterovirus 71 in virus-host interactions.     

Detection of EBV and HHV6 in the Brain Tissue of Patients with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis

Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare pediatric neurological disorder, and the exact etiology is not clear. Viral infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of RE, but conflicting results have reported. In this study, we evaluated the expression of both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpes virus (HHV) 6 antigens in brain sections from 30 patients with RE and 16 control individuals by immunohistochemistry. In the RE group, EBV and HHV6 antigens were detected in 56.7% (17/30) and 50% (15/30) of individuals, respectively. In contrast, no detectable EBV and HHV6 antigen expression was found in brain tissues of the control group. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in 20.0% (6/30) of individuals. In particular, a 4-year-old boy had a typical clinical course, including a medical history of viral encephalitis, intractable epilepsy, and hemispheric atrophy. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in neurons and astrocytes in the brain tissue, accompanied by a high frequency of CD8⁺ T cells. Our results suggest that EBV and HHV6 infection and the activation of CD8⁺ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of RE.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).     

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.
