分别以山羊草属4个不同的种为母本,以普通小麦为父本杂交,将获得的杂种再进行回交和自交。结果表明,不同种与普通小麦的可交配性存在较大差异,在人工多次授粉并有激素处理的条件下,粗山羊草与普通小麦的杂交结实率最高,2个基因型Ae42和Y92的杂交结实率分别为46.49%和22.58%;其次为卵穗山羊草,2个基因型Ae23和Y100的杂交结实率分别为12.11%和14.76%;柱穗山羊草位列第3,2个基因型Ae7和Y145的杂交结实率分别为2.23%和8.50%;拟斯卑尔脱山羊草最低,基因型Ae48的杂交结实率只有0.19%。不同种的杂种胚产生愈伤组织率不同,柱穗山羊草/小麦表现较高的水平,卵穗山羊草/小麦次之,粗山羊草/小麦第3,拟斯卑尔脱山羊草/小麦最低。卵穗山羊草/小麦的杂种幼胚直接成苗率最高,其次为粗山羊草/小麦,柱穗山羊草/小麦居第3位。山羊草与普通小麦杂种的育性较低,在自然状态下,只有卵穗山羊草/小麦能够自交结实,但自交结实率仅为0.044%,其他杂种自交不能结实。在人工多次授粉并激素处理条件下,用父、母本回交的结实率:卵穗山羊草/普通小麦组合分别为4.36%和3.71%,柱穗山羊草/普通小麦组合分别为0...     

干旱和ABA对同核异质冬小麦叶片蛋白的影响

利用双向凝胶电泳研究了冬小麦核质杂种NC4、NC37和它们的核供体丰抗13的3个品种幼苗在水分胁迫和外施ABA条件下叶片中蛋白质代谢的变化。结果表明水分胁迫可抑制3种小麦叶片中一些蛋白质合成,使蛋白数量减少,而在NC4、NC37两个核质杂种中有1个PI5.8、20kD的新合成蛋白点出现,根部外伤ABA也可诱导该蛋白合成,核供体丰抗13幼苗中,ABA可诱导合成该蛋白,而水分胁迫时该蛋白没有出现,表明该蛋白由核基因编码,而其表达可能由细胞质中与ABA有关的某种机制调控。

高效Rubisco羧化活性筛选体系的设计与构建

【背景】广泛存在于植物、藻类及其他自养微生物中的核酮糖-1,5-二磷酸羧化/加氧酶(Rubisco)是卡尔文循环中固定CO2的关键酶及限速酶,在生物质合成和全球碳循环中扮演着重要角色。鉴于Rubisco的重要性以及极低的固碳羧化活性,对Rubisco的筛选进化研究具有重要意义。【目的】构建一种适用于筛选高效Rubisco羧化活性的筛选体系。【方法】分析现有筛选体系对Rubisco羧化活性筛选压力缺失的原因,设计构建适用于高效Rubisco羧化活性的筛选体系,以BWLac产乳酸菌株为宿主,在含有5%CO2的N2环境下厌氧培养,比较不同羧化活性Rubisco对细胞生长的影响,通过HPLC及LCMS检测总乳酸及固定CO2生成乳酸的产量评估筛选体系。【结果】通过终端代谢产物乳酸产生下拉力,以及甘油代谢产生的剩余还原力需要平衡消耗掉的设计靶点,增强Prk和Rubisco的固碳支路代谢通量,加强RuBP对细胞的毒性抑制作用,使细胞生长与Rubisco活性有效偶联,构建高通量筛选办法。在新构建的筛选体系中,Rubisco失活突变体BWLac/197不能生长,Rubisco和Prk双失活突变体BWLac/197-2021生长未受影响,菌落大小约1.58 cm。粗酶液羧化活性相差2倍以上的RBC1和7002,其细胞生长在筛选条件下受不同程度抑制,菌落大小分别有1.06 cm和0.65 cm。通过检测乳酸产量及甘油消耗量对筛选体系验证评估,RBC1消耗甘油1.39 g/L,产乳酸2.82 g/L,其中来自于NaH13CO3的标记乳酸含量为18.05μmol/L,比7002的相应检测结果高1.3-1.6倍,检测结果与筛选体系设计原理相符,即乳酸产量越高,甘油消耗越多,Rubisco羧化活性越高,细胞生长得越好。【结论】成功设计构建了高效Rubisco羧化活性筛选体系,为进化或探索更高羧化活性Rubisco提供有效的高通量筛选办法。     

Acetylene as a suicide substrate and active site probe for methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath)

Abstract Acetylene was shown to be an inhibitor of cell-free methane monooxygenase (MMO) activity in Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath). Inhibition was demonstrated for both the soluble and particulate forms of the enzyme and was dependent on the presence of both NADH and oxygen. Inactivation of the enzyme complex was irreversible and was due to binding of the acetylene to specific proteins of the enzyme complex. The use of radiolabelled [¹⁴C]acetylene provided a method for visualisation of the bound inhibitor: protein complex on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Acetylene was shown to bind to proteins which are associated with methane-oxidising activity and it is proposed that acetylene acts as a suicide substrate.

Role of interneuronal systems in the formation of main patterns of field electrical activity in the hippocampus

Studies on the cellular and subcellular levels promote elucidation of the fundamental principles of formation of effective neuronal systems from cell units. To estimate the interrelations between electrical activity of neuronal networks and processes realized on the cellular level, we need to adequately understand the general patterns of behavior of populations of interneurons, which are components of these networks, under different physiological conditions. In this review, we describe and discuss the relations between the electrical activity of single hippocampal neurons and different components of the field electrical activity, as well as modern concepts on the mode of involvement of the system of hippocampal interneurons in the formation of physiologically important patterns of efferent activity of the above-mentioned structure (in particular in encoding of information on the neuronal level).

Induction of antibacterial activity in the blood of the migratory locust Locusta migratoria L.

Injections of low doses of living cells of Bacillus thuringiensis into larvae or adults of Locusta migratoria (Orthoptera) induce an in vivo protection against lethal doses of this pathogen (‘immunisation’). In the present paper we show that concomitant with the induction of the in vivo protection, an antibacterial activity appears in the plasma of the immunised insects. This activity is maintained for 10 days and disappears at the time the protective mechanism loses its efficiency. Antibacterial activity in the plasma of experimental insects is induced by injections of bacteria other than B. thuringiensis (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and non-bacterial substances (ovalbumine, iron saccharate): it reduces growth of cultures of B. thuringiensis and also of E. coli or P. aeruginosa under in vitro conditions. Repeated immunising injections increase the level of plasma antibacterial activity. Preliminary biochemical studies indicate that the antibacterial activity is linked to the presence in the plasma of a low molecular weight (<5000 daltons), heat-stable, polar bacteriostatic compound which is not inactivated by use of conventional proteolytic or glycolytic enzymes.     

The comparative persistence of toxicity of Bacillus sphaericus strain 1593 and Bacillus thuringiensis serotype H-14 against mosquito larvae in different kinds of environments

Bacillus sphaericus strain 1593 and B. thuringiensis serotype H-14 were evaluated for persistence of toxicity against two species of mosquito larvae, Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti, in a selected simulating plot in Bangkok. Both strains of bacteria demonstrated larvicidal activity towards both species of mosquito larvae. In tap water, the toxicity of B. sphaericus strain 1593 was found to be greater towards C. quinquefasciatus larvae than A. aegypti larvae, whereas the toxicity of B. thuringiensis serotype H-14 was found to be greater towards A. aegypti larvae than C. quinquefasciatus larvae. The persistence of toxicity of these two bacteria was found to be different. The lethal concentration of B. thuriengiensis H-14 against A. aegypti decreased from LC₉₀ to below LC₅₀ in about 15 weeks when tested in tap water. The decrease was faster in polluted water. The toxicity of B. sphaericus 1593 towards C. quinquefasciatus larvae persisted for at least 9 months in tap water and 6 months in polluted water. The multiplication of bacteria was indicated only in populations of B. sphaericus 1593 tested with C. quinquefasciatus larvae.     

Regulators of complement activity mediate inhibitory mechanisms through a common C3b‐binding mode

Regulators of complement activation (RCA) inhibit complement‐induced immune responses on healthy host tissues. We present crystal structures of human RCA (MCP, DAF, and CR1) and a smallpox virus homolog (SPICE) bound to complement component C3b. Our structural data reveal that up to four consecutive homologous CCP domains (i–iv), responsible for inhibition, bind in the same orientation and extended arrangement at a shared binding platform on C3b. Large sequence variations in CCP domains explain the diverse C3b‐binding patterns, with limited or no contribution of some individual domains, while all regulators show extensive contacts with C3b for the domains at the third site. A variation of ~100° rotation around the longitudinal axis is observed for domains binding at the fourth site on C3b, without affecting the overall binding mode. The data suggest a common evolutionary origin for both inhibitory mechanisms, called decay acceleration and cofactor activity, with variable C3b binding through domains at sites ii, iii, and iv, and provide a framework for understanding RCA disease‐related mutations and immune evasion.
