测定了来源于我国水稻条纹叶枯病常年流行区的云南楚雄(CX)及病害暴发区的江苏洪泽(HZ)的水稻条纹病毒(RSV)2个分离物RNA2全长序列,其长度分别为3506bp和3514 bp.与已报道的日本T和O分离物RNA2序列进行比较的结果表明,这4个分离物可分为两组,其中,HZ、T和O分离物为一组,组内分离物之间,RNA2的毒义链(vRNA2)及RNA2的毒义互补链(vcRNA2)上的ORF的核苷酸一致性分别为97.2%～98.0%和96.8%～97.1%,5′端和3′端非编码区的序列则完全一致.但HZ分离物与T分离物的亲缘关系更为密切,其基因间隔区(IR)与T和O分离物的等长.另一组为我国CX分离物,组与组之间,vRNA2及vcRNA2上的ORF的核苷酸一致性分别为95.0%～95.7%和93.9%～94.4%.CX分离物的IR与HZ分离物相比缺失了一段8 nt的片段.5′端非编码区的序列完全一致,但3′末端非编码区有一个碱基的差异.这些结果表明,RSV在自然界的分子变异与其地理分布具有密切的关系.此外,非编码区序列的高度保守性暗示着它们在病毒基因转录和复制的调控方面具有重要的功能.本文还讨论了RSV的分子流行病学.     

小西葫芦黄化花叶病毒分离物的3′末端序列多态性研究

研究了来自中国大陆9个小西葫芦黄化花叶病毒（ZYMV）分离物的基因组3′末端核苷酸序列及所推导的外壳蛋白（CP）氨基酸序列以及3′末端非编码区（UTR）序列,并与其它地区所报道的16个ZMYV分离物进行了同源性比较。ZYMV CP基因核苷酸序列具有一定的寄主相关性和地域相关性,但总体上其关联程度不明显;同时,CP氨基酸序列的寄主适应性程度明显高于地域相关性。25个ZYMV分离物的CP氨基酸序列根据其变异程度分为2个区： N端约41个氨基酸为高度变异区,CP核心区和C端氨基酸序列为保守区。研究结果初步揭示了ZYMV作为单链RNA病毒通过与寄主相互作用而表现寄主适应性变异的趋势。

番木瓜环斑病毒畸叶株系的CP基因克隆和序列分析

采用RT-PCR方法合成了本研究室保存的番木瓜畸叶病毒(PMaLV)的外壳蛋白(CP)基因,将其CP基因克隆进Promega公司的pGEM-T and pGEM-T Easy Vector System(简称T-载体),并进行了序列分析.结果表明,PMaLVCP基因核苷酸序列全长为861nt,推导其编码287个氨基酸.与番木瓜环斑病毒(PRSV)美国夏威夷HA株系和澳大利亚W株系的CP基因相比,在第66nt处开始连续缺失3个核苷酸.与PRSV的华南Ys、Sm和G株系以及夏威夷的HA和澳大利亚的W株系相比,其CP基因序列同源率分别为96%、98%、95%、89%和89%.其推导的氨基酸序列同源率分别为98%、97%、97%、96%和95%.此结果表明,PMaLV属于PRSV的一个株系,不是一种新病毒.因此,我们称其为番木瓜环斑病毒畸叶株系(ML株系).

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.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

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
