质粒在大肠杆菌和沼泽红细菌之间的接合转移

人们以光合细菌中的紫色非硫光合细菌如球形红细菌和荚膜红细菌等为模型,在阐明光合作用机制等方面取得了很多成果,但对于紫色非硫光合细菌中的沼泽红细菌报道较少。直到1988年Harwood等人发现沼泽红细菌可以利用多种芳香族化合物如木质素单体、苯甲酸和4—羟基苯甲酸等作为唯一碳源进行光照厌氧生长或好氧生长,使沼泽红细菌成为研究该类化合物降解机制的一个良好模型。近年来,沼泽红细菌降解苯甲酸的途径已基本搞清。目前,研究集中于两个方向,一是有关酶类的提纯及性质研究,二是有关基因的克隆。

深渊来源Citricoccus sp.strain NyZ702的分离培养及其降解4-羟基苯甲酸的特性

【背景】深渊沉积物中存在丰富的微生物细胞和活跃的微生物碳周转,因此,分离培养微生物资源对于认识深渊中的物质循环、能量代谢具有重要意义。芳香化合物在环境中广泛存在,基于组学分析揭示了深渊中具有潜在的芳香化合物代谢菌株,然而深渊来源的芳香化合物降解微生物纯培养和相关的代谢机理研究仍然缺乏。【目的】从马里亚纳海沟沉积物样本中分离培养具有降解芳香化合物能力的微生物,对其代谢途径、中间产物和降解酶活力进行初步鉴定。【方法】以4-羟基苯甲酸为唯一碳源对马里亚纳海沟沉积物样本中的降解菌株进行分离培养,结合形态观察、16S rRNA基因扩增与序列分析对菌株进行鉴定,通过底物生长实验验证其降解能力,通过高效液相色谱和超高效液相色谱-飞行时间质谱联用仪初步鉴定全细胞生物转化中间产物,利用紫外分光光度计测定其粗酶液催化4-羟基苯甲酸的活力,进而推测菌株降解4-羟基苯甲酸的代谢途径。【结果】从深渊沉积物中分离培养获得一株好氧细菌,16SrRNA基因序列分析显示该菌株隶属于柠檬球菌属(Citricoccus),命名为Citricoccus sp. strain NyZ702。该菌株在LB固体培养基上经30°C培养4 d后呈柠檬黄色、不透明、表面光滑、边缘整齐、凸出于培养基表面、直径约为1-2 mm的圆形菌落。扫描电镜表明菌体呈球形,直径为0.4-0.6μm,无鞭毛结构。该菌株为耐盐菌,最适生长盐浓度范围为2%-8%(质量体积分数)。该菌株可利用4-羟基苯甲酸为唯一碳源进行生长,可转化4-羟基苯甲酸至中间产物原儿茶酸,推测该菌株通过原儿茶酸途径降解4-羟基苯甲酸。菌株NyZ702的粗酶液具有4-羟基苯甲酸单加氧酶活力,对4-羟基苯甲酸的催化反应需要还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸(NADPH)作为辅因子。【结论】从深渊沉积物样本分离得到一株4-羟基苯甲酸降解菌Citricoccus sp. strain NyZ702,该菌株以原儿茶酸为中间代谢产物降解4-羟基苯甲酸,丰富了深渊来源的微生物菌种资源,为深渊中的芳香化合物降解研究提供了一定的理论基础。     

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.
