蝌蚪（Bufo bufo andrewsi）血红细胞微核和核异常监测水质污染的研究

滇池是云南高原最大的淡水湖,是昆明地区工农业生产及人民生活用水的水源,又是昆明市的重要风景区。近年来,滇池水质污染,越来越引起人们的关注。昆明市的工业废水和生活污水经大观河等流入滇池,其中有毒有害物质多达30多种,包括镉、汞、砷、铅、铬、氟、有机磷、氰化物等。其中砷(Léonard et al., 1980;Katsuhiko,     

真菌原生质体技术在遗传学和虫生真菌研究领域中的应用

原生质体融合技术自70年代中到80年代末的十几年间有着相当快速的发展过程,从无机试剂诱导的融合(Binding,1974;Ferenczy,1975)到PEG辅助融合(Kao,1974)以至发展到电场诱导原生质体融合(Zimmermann, 1980; Halfmannet al.1983; Call et al. 1984;Broda et al. 1987; Foerster et al.,1986; Fikus et al., 1985; Magae etal., 1986; 汪和睦1986a,b;张博润等,1986;彭卫宪等,1987)反映了原生质体融合方法的演变全貌。随着原生质体融合手段的不断更新,在遗传学研究领域中,利用这项技术进行

哺乳动物细胞去核产物(胞质体及核体)的结构与功能研究

1967年Carter发现细胞松弛素可以诱发组织培养细胞的自发排核之后,Prescott(1972)借助细胞松弛素存在下的离心处理,使这一排核现象普遍化,从而确立了体外细胞去核的标准方法。经过不断改进(croce et al., 1974;Veomett et al., 1976;Lucas etal., 1976;Wigler et al., 1975),现在,这一技术已广泛应用于细胞学研究的各个重要领域(Mc Burney et al., 1979;Goldman et al., 1974;du Bols et al., 1980)。细胞去核技术及其应用的研究在我国已有初步开展(陈瑞铭等,1979;沈鼎武等,1980)。本实验对二种上皮型传代细胞系进行了去核手术,用扫描电镜和透射电镜对所获得的胞质体     

Resolving the Activation Site of PositiveRegulators in Plant PhosphoenolpyruvateCarboxylase

Dear Editor, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase （PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31） islocated at an important branch point in the carbohydratemetabolism of plants. The enzyme is a homotetramer andcatalyzes the addition of bicarbonate to phosphoenolpyru-vate （PEP） to form oxaloacetate and phosphate. PEPC isregulated by metabolites and phosphorylation. AIIostericfeedback inhibition is mainly regulated by L-malate andL-aspartate which bind to a site separated from the activecenter （Kai et al., 1999; Paulus et al., 2013）. Structure analy-sis of PEPC from Escherichia coli （Kai et al., 1999; Matsumuraet al., 2002）, Zea rnays （Matsumura et al., 2002）, Flaveria trin-ervia, and F. pringlei （Paulus et al., 2013） revealed that thesubstrate PEP and the feedback inhibitors bind to separatesites within each monomer.     

A Brassinosteroid-Signaling Kinase Interacts withMultiple Receptor-Like Kinases in Arabidopsis

Dear Editor, Higher plants have evolved hundreds of genes encodingreceptor-like kinases （RLKs）, which function as cell surfacereceptors perceiving developmental and environmental sig-nals （Shiu et al., 2004）. Many RLKs have been shown to playspecific roles in hormone responses, developmental regula-tion, defense against pathogen infection, and adaptationto abiotic stresses （Chae et al., 2009; Antolin-Llovera et al.,2012）. The mechanisms that ensure specific signal transduc-tion from each RLK to target cellular responses remain poorlyunderstood. Recent studies revealed that many RLKs trans-duce signals by phosphorylating receptor-like cytoplasmickinases （RLCKs）, which lack the transmembrane domainsbut are anchored at the plasma membrane through lipidmodification （Tang et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2010; Shi et al.,2013）. There are over 400 RLKs and only about 150 RLCKs inArabidopsis （Shiu et al., 2004）. One outstanding question iswhether each RLCK mediates signaling downstream of a spe-cific RLK, participates in multiple RLK pathways, or mediatescrosstalk between RLK pathways.     

Efficient Gene Targeting in Zebrafish Mediated by a Zebrafish-Codon-Optimized Cas9 and Evaluation of Off-Targeting Effect

Targeted genome modifications with the Cas9/gRNA system derived from the clustered regularly interspaced short palin- dromic repeat/CRISPR-associated （CRISPR/Cas） system have been successfully used in cultured human cells as well as in most model organisms, including zebrafish （Danio rerio）, mouse, and fruit fly （Chang et al., 2013; Cong et al., 2013; Gratz et al., 2013; Hwang et al., 2013; Jao et al., 2013; Shen et al., 2013; Wei et al., 2013）. Its application in zebrafish is particu- larly attractive due to the ease of handling this organism and the simple application of this method by direct injection of Cas9/ gRNA. However, the information about its specificity in this organism is very limited and needs further evaluation. In addition, it is conceivable that a Cas9 mRNA optimized for zebrafish codon preference could enhance its activity.     

Genome-Wide Prediction of Highly Specific Guide RNA Spacers for CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Genome Editing in Model Plants and Major Crops

Dear Editor,
RNA-guided genome editing （RGE） using the Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR-Cas9 system （Jinek et al., 2012; Cong et al., 2013; Mall et al., 2013b） is emerging as a simple and highly efficient tool for genome editing in many organisms. The Cas9 nuclease can be programmed by dual or single guide RNA （gRNA） to cut target DNA at specific sites,

FERONIA Receptor Kinase Controls Seed Size in Arabidopsis thaliana

Dear Editor,
Plants have evolved elaborate mechanisms by which cell elongation regulation is coupled to the environmental signals. The plasma membrane receptor kinase FERONIA （FER） has emerged as an important regulatory node in controlling cell elongation and hormone crosstalk （Guo et al., 2009; Deslauriers and Larsen, 2010; Duan et al., 2010; Yu et al.,     

To Grow or Not to Grow： FERONIA Has Her Say

Plant cells differ from their animal counterparts such that they are encased in a complex wall structure, crucial for cell growth through a dynamic equilibrium of rigidity and flexibility. Cell wall extensibility can be greatly influenced by apoplastic pH and reactive oxygen species （ROS） （Duan et al., 2014; Haruta et al., 2014）. Several recent works demonstrated that the receptor-like kinase （RLK） FERONIA （FER） is critical to fine-tune cell growth in a spatiotemporal and context-dependent manner by controlling apoplastic pH （Haruta et al., 2014） and ROS （Duan et al., 2010, 2014）, likely balancing wall rigidity for cell integrity and flexibility for cell expansion.     

PhGRL2 Protein,Interacting with PhACO1, Is Involved in Flower Senescence in the Petunia

Dear Editor, The pathways of ethylene biosynthesis and signaling have been studied in detail （Ji and Guo, 2013）. Arabidopsis REVERSION-TO-ETHYLENE SENSITIVITY1 （RTE1）, interacting with ETR1, and its homologs tomato GREEN RIPE （SlGR） and SlGRL1, and rice OsRTH1 negatively regulate the ethylene signaling （Barry and Giovannoni, 2006, Resnick et al., 2006; Dong et al., 2010; Zhang et al., 2012）. A newly published study suggested that a cytochrome b5 and RTE1 are functional partners in promoting ETRl-mediated repression of ethylene signaling in Arabidopsis （Chang et al., 2014）. However, AtRTH, RTE1 homolog in Arabidopsis, and its closest homolog in the tomato, SlGRL2 （GR-like2）, do not play a role in ethylene signaling （Dong et al., 2010）, and the function of the homologs of these members is not well known.     

MYPT1 Sustains Centromeric Cohesion and the Spindle-Assembly Checkpoint

During mitosis, cohesins hold the sister chromatids together until anaphase when arm cohesins are removed （Peters et al., 2008; Yao and Dai, 2012）. The shugoshin （Sgo） proteins play pivotal roles during this stage. There is only one shu- goshin in the fly and budding yeasts, while there are two in other organisms （including fission yeasts）. The two mamma- lian shugoshins, Sgol and Sgo2, carry out distinct functions： Sgol mainly in mitosis, and Sgo2 mainly in meiosis and perturbed mitosis. Mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase 1 （CDKI） phosphorylates Sgol, and targets the Sgol-protein phospha- tase 2A （PP2A） complex to protect centromeric cohesin （Kitajima et al., 2006; Tang et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2012）,

密簇斜盖伞菌中水溶性多糖的研究*IV．抑瘤活性的比较研究

近年来有关多糖抑瘤作用与结构的关系已有不少报道(Chihara,1970;Ueno et al.,1982;Miya-zaki et al.,1979;Misaki et al.,1981;Inoue et al.,1983;张翼伸、李冶平,1981),但尚无严格的规律可循。不同的多糖结构,不同的瘤株,剂量大小,给药途径等都有不同的效应。为进一步探讨多糖抑瘤与结构的关系,作者以密簇斜盖伞菌(Clitopilus caespitosus)中提取的两种多糖及其化学修饰物为材料,对它们的抑瘤活性进行了比较研究,现将结果报道如下。
