紫萍叶状体衰老过程中的内肽酶谱变化和外源L-丝氨酸对内肽酶谱的影响

采用双向凝胶电泳技术分析紫萍叶状体衰老期间内肽酶同工酶的变化以及外源L-丝氨酸对内肽酶影响的结果表明,在衰老的紫萍叶状体中检测到9种内肽酶同工酶,丝氨酸内肽酶EP3可能在叶状体衰老的早期起作用,而半胱氨酸内肽酶EP9在第6天出现,是衰老后期活性最强的内肽酶。培养液中加入外源的L-丝氨酸后,叶状体蛋白质含量下降加剧,与衰老相关的内肽酶EP3、EP4和EP9的活性明显增强或提前出现。     

丝氨酸内肽酶在黄瓜叶片衰老中的作用

采用丝氨酸内肽酶抑制剂和植物生长调节剂处理离体黄瓜叶片,研究了黄瓜叶片暗诱导衰老过程中丝氨酸内肽酶的作用。结果表明,6-BA50μmol／L与丝氨酸内肽酶抑制剂AEBSF能抑制叶片内肽酶活性的升高,延缓蛋白质降解,而ABA50μmol/L则促进了内肽酶活性的升高：其作用效果与AEBSF相反。活性电泳结果显示,黄瓜叶片中检测到6条内肽酶同工酶,其中4条（CEP2、3、4、6）为丝氨酸类型内肽酶,而ABA使丝氨酸内肽酶CEP2、3、4、6的活性明显增强,提示了丝氨酸类型内肽酶在黄瓜叶片衰老过程中具有重要作用。

小麦旗叶老化期间的内肽酶

小麦叶片中存在着内肽酶,其最适pH为4．8,最适反应温度为45℃。小麦旗叶全展以后,净光合速率和总可溶性蛋白质含量下降,而内肽酶比活上升。用蛋白质合成抑制剂处理的结果表明,有内肽酶的从头合成;用激活制和抑制剂处理的结果表明,小麦叶片中至少有3种类型的内肽酶（即巯基蛋白酶、丝氨酸蛋白酶和金属蛋白酶）,而在蛋白质降解中起主要作用的是巯基蛋白酶。另外,氨基酸对内肽酶有保护作用,激素对内肽酶具有调节作用,活性氧对内肽酶的活力上升也有促进作用。     

NR和NOS在CTK延缓离体小麦叶片衰老中的作用

用一氧化氮(NO)清除剂血红蛋白(Hb)、硝酸还原酶(NR)抑制剂钨酸钠(Na2WO4)、一氧化氮合酶(NOS)抑制剂L-硝基精氨酸甲酯(L-NAME)并结合激动素(KT)和玉米素(ZT)两种细胞分裂素(CTK)处理离体小麦叶片,测定分析各处理的相关生理生化指标,以明确NR和NOS在CTK延缓离体小麦叶片衰老过程中的作用.结果显示:KT和ZT单独处理均能显著延缓离体小麦叶片衰老过程中叶绿素、可溶性蛋白含量的降低,抑制丙二醛(MDA)的积累,促进NR和NOS活性升高;在Hb、Na2WO4或L-NAME存在时,上述KT和ZT延缓衰老的效应均显著减弱,同时NR和NOS活性的升高也分别被Na2WO4和L-NAME显著抑制.该结果暗示CTK延缓离体小麦叶片衰老可能与其诱导了NR和NOS活性的提高,进而促进NO的生成有关.

小麦叶片暗诱导衰老期间内肽酶的特性

The characterization of senescence-associated endopeptidase (EP) isoenzymes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Yangmai 158) leaves during dark-induced senescence was performed. It was found that there was much higher endoproteolytic activity in dark-induced wheat leaves than in control. Six endopeptidase isoenzymes (EP1-EP6) were identified by natural gradient杙olyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) co-polymerized gelatin in the gel, five of which (EP1, EP2, EP4, EP5 and EP6) were only detected in senescing leaves. Treatment with 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) delayed the expression of these EP isoenzymes and abscisic acid (ABA) accelerated it. The activity of EP3 could be detected at a wider range of pH and temperature levels while EP4, EP5 and EP 6 could be only detected at pH 4-5 and 30 45 ℃, EP1 and EP2 at pH 3 5 and 30 ℃ 45 ℃. All of the EP isoenzymes showed high thermal stability, especially EP3, EP5 and EP6 which still had activities even by incubation at 55 ℃ for 1 h. By using different class-specific inhibitors, EP1 and EP2 were characterized as metal-dependent cysteine-proteases, EP4 as a serine-protease.     

白兰瓜子叶衰老过程中蔗糖酶同工酶的分离及其活性变化

利用DEAE—纤维素柱层析对白兰瓜子叶蔗糖酶同工酶进行了分离。发现细胞质可溶性部分含有4种蔗糖酶同工酶,其中3种为酸性蔗糖酶(Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ),其活性最适pH分别为5.40、4.30和4.73;另外一种为碱性蔗糖酶,其最适pH为7.40。细胞壁盐溶性部分仅含1种酸性蔗糖酶,其最适pH亦为4.73。在白兰瓜子叶生长后期(7～11d),定位于细胞质的酸性蔗糖酶Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ的活性略有升高;衰老发生后(17～23d)其活性显著下降;衰老后期碱性蔗糖酶活性消失。在子叶生长和衰老期间细胞壁酸性蔗糖酶活性则一直下降。     

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.

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.     

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).
