螅状独缩虫自然种群同工酶的研究

利用聚丙烯酰氨凝胶电泳技术,对采自武汉沙湖螅状独缩虫自然种群的酯酶(EST)、苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和酸性磷酸酶(ACP)四种同工酶酶系进行了研究。实验表明:EST同工酶酶系由六个基因座位(Est1-Est6)控制,其中Est1、Est2、Est3和Est5为杂合基因座位,而Est4和Est6为纯合基因座位。螅状独缩虫物种中EST同工酶四级结构既有单体也有二聚体;MDH同工酶酶系由五个基因座位(Mdh1-Mdh5)控制,其中Mdh2和Mdh3为杂合基因座位,而Mdh1、Mdh4和Mdh5为纯合基因座位。螅状独缩虫苹果酸脱氢酶存在明显的上清液型(sMDH)和线粒体型(mMDH)酶带;LDH同工酶酶系较其他原生动物发达,由5条明显酶带组成。与高等动物研究结果比较分析认为,螅状独缩虫乳酸脱氢酶同工酶酶系可能为一个杂合基因座位AB控制;ACP同工酶酶系简单,为一个纯合基因座位编码。取得的结果为揭示螅状独缩虫酶学特征及其自然种群的遗传特征等问题提供了基础资料。       

不同纬度螅状独缩虫耐热能力及Hsp70 mRNA表达水平的比较

本文以游泳体的形成作为虫体对热激响应的指征,比较了不同纬度 (西安:东经10 8°98′,北纬34°25′;武汉:东经114°34′,北纬30°57′) 两地螅状独缩虫 (Carc hesium polypinum) 的耐热能力,发现武汉地区螅状独缩虫 (WH株) 形成游泳体的热激温度 ( 36℃) 高于西安地区 (XA株) 的33℃,说明前者的耐热能力较强;进一步利用实时PCR技术分析不同热激温度下两地螅状独缩虫热休克蛋白Hsp70 mRNA的表达变化发现,XA株Hs p70 mRNA热激后高表达水平的阈值温度为28℃,而WH株的为33℃,表明在螅状独缩虫中, Hsp70 mRNA表达的阈值温度与它们的耐热能力之间存在正相关.从而在分子水平阐明了螅状独缩虫WH株较XA株具有更高耐热能力的原因,这为研究纤毛虫野生种群热休克蛋白Hsp7 0 mRNA表达与栖息环境温度间的关系,进而了解原生动物温度适应的分子机理提供了线索[动物学报 54(3):525-530,2008].     

螅状独缩虫种内分子系统地理学的研究

以18S-ITS1为分子标记, 对我国8省市自治区的19个螅状独缩虫种群的研究表明: 在34, 46, 241, 305和322等5个位点上碱基的变化情况将它们沿珠江和长江分水岭分为南北两大种群. 进一步分析得出这种地理分布格局的形成可能是以下两个因素共同作用的结果: 第四纪时伴随青藏高原的隆起珠江和长江分水岭的形成导致了螅状独缩虫的隔离分化;两地气候条件的差异对螅状独缩虫传播方式产生了重要影响.     

平菇属中-新杂交种及双亲酯酶同工酶的比较研究

采用聚丙烯酞胺凝胶垂直平板电泳和薄层等电聚焦电泳法,以单抱杂交筛选的平菇属中一新杂交种和双亲株[佛罗里达侧耳(Pleurorur flortdo)和姬菇(Pleurotus sp)]为材料,对三种平菇子实休的酯酶同工酶进行比较,结果表明:①三种平菇子实体的酯酶同工酶酶谱丰富,酶带多,菌种酶谱稳定特异,不受环境条件、栽培方式和采样时间的影响,可作为菌种选育、检侧和鉴定的有效指标。②杂交种的酯酶同工酶酶谱体现了双亲的酯酶同工酶基因的杂交组合,一部分酶带可在佛罗里达侧耳中出现,另一部分酶带在姬菇中出现。酶谱中出现了典型的互补酶带。⑧不同的发育阶段中的子实体酪酶同工梅酶带基本相同,而酶活性变化较大。     

两种缘毛类纤毛虫胞质Hsp70基因序列的克隆及其系统发育分析

克隆得到2种缘毛类纤毛虫——钟形钟虫(Vorticella campanula)和螅状独缩虫(Carchesium polypinum)的胞质Hsp70基因部分序列,长度均为438bp,编码146个氨基酸。以细菌为外类群,利用最大似然法和邻接法构建包括其他5种纤毛虫在内的共26个物种的Hsp70基因氨基酸序列系统发育树,其拓扑结构显示：V．campanula和C．polypinum聚在一起,并与另2种寡膜纲的嗜热四膜虫(Tetrahymena thermophila)及草履虫(Paramecium tetraurelia)聚为姊妹枝,提示了缘毛类纤毛虫为单系,且隶属于寡膜纲的系统发育地位。     

景观水体周丛生纤毛虫群落结构及其与环境因子的关系

为了解载玻片法获取的周丛生纤毛虫群落可否用于监测景观水体,于2015年利用载玻片采样法对上海东南角的一处景观水体的周丛生纤毛虫的群落结构进行了周年调查,并对其与环境因子之间的相关性进行了研究。共检出12目51种周丛生纤毛虫。周丛生纤毛虫的年平均密度为127.29个/cm~2,2月密度最低,为24.27个/cm~2,5月密度最高,为248.57个/cm~2;其群落结构应对水体环境的变化呈现显著的季节性变动。多元统计分析表明,总磷浓度和水温(T)均是影响周丛生纤毛虫群落结构的主要环境因子。作为周丛生纤毛虫最主要的类群,缘毛目纤毛虫的密度与透明度(SD)和电导率(Spc)呈显著正相关,与T呈极显著正相关;丁丁目、毛口目和侧口目纤毛虫的密度与SD呈显著负相关,其中丁丁目纤毛虫的密度与T呈极显著负相关;此外,丁丁目纤毛虫的密度与总氮(TN)浓度呈极显著正相关。冗余分析显示,优势种钟形钟虫、钟虫sp.2、聚缩虫sp.1、亨氏累枝虫、沟钟虫和螅状独缩虫的密度与环境因子具有较好相关性。研究表明,载玻片法采集的周丛生纤毛虫能很好的反映水质变化,该方法可以作为景观水体水质监测方法的一个补充。     

滇池高背鲫和方正银鲫酯酶、乳酸脱氢酶同工酶的比较研究

本研究以方正银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch)普通鲫(Carassius auratus)和滇池高背鲫(Carassius sp.)的各种组织器官为材料,进行酯酶(Esterase)和乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)同工酶电泳图谱的分析比较。结果表明:9种不同组织中酯酶同工酶谱带各不相同,有明显的组织特异性。滇池高背鲫的酯酶谱图有3种表型。方正银鲫和滇池高背鲫同一组织的LDH同工酶酶谱也有明显差异。等电聚焦凝胶电泳(T=7.5％,C=5％)的结果又表明这二种鱼的肝脏、脑、卵的酯酶同工酶酶谱及电泳扫描图亦有差异。这些结果揭示滇池高背鲫与方正银鲫至少在生化水平上已有明显的分化,很可能起源于不同的地区,由不同的祖先,独立演化而形成。滇池高背鲫与云南普通鲫的LDH酶谱较为接近,这说明滇池高背鲫最可能起源于云南本地的普通鲫。

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.

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     

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.

     

Identification and Characterization of the First Equine Parainfluenza Virus 5

正Dear Editor,Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), known as canine parainfluenza virus in the veterinary field, is a negative-sense,nonsegmented, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family (Chen 2018). The virus was first reported in primary monkey kidney cells in 1954 (Hsiung1972), then it has been frequently discovered in various
