hCG嵌合肽（CP18—21）的构建和原核系统表达

目的：简化该测定－用含hCG亚单位的3个B细胞表位嵌合肽（CP）检测免疫动物血清中是否产生抗hCGβ环肽^38-57和其羧基端37肽抗体,方法：已知CP1及其衍生物中选用的破伤风类毒素的一个广谱性TCE^580-599(T6)中也还包含一个BCE,特异构建了含单（β5）或双（β9和β8）表位的二组CPs,首先以CPS（T1－T2－5－T6－β5－β9－β8）和CP7（T1－T2－5－T7－β5β9－β8）cDNAs为模板,用PCR方法产生删除β9和β8表位编码顺序的CP4和CP8 cDNAs,并按全拼接合成法产生删除β5表位顺序的CP5和CP9 cDNAs。但是,诱导的宿主菌总蛋白在SDS－PAGE带谱中未特异表达,于是也按前述方法,在以上检测用CPs基因5'端分别接上一段pZP4肽编码序列。结果：重组插入温度诱导型pBV221表达载体后,CP18－21cDNAs均在宿主菌中表达,而且在蛋白印迹试验中,CP18和CP20表达蛋白能识别Ohio州立大学Vernon Stevens教授惠赠的兔抗hCGβ环肽（含β5表位）多抗,而CP19和CP21（含β9和β8表位）表达带可与Dr.Wim Stevens赠送的单抗OT3A发生抗原抗体反应。意义：CP18－21及其表达工程菌的成功构建,为今后分析基因工程表达的CP1和CP7等hCG CPs系列的免疫原性奠定了基础。

MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AS MOLECULAR MARKERS FOR THE INTRACELLULAR AND CELL WALL DISTRIBUTION OF CARRAGEENAN EPITOPES IN KAPPAPHYCUS (RHODOPHYTA) DURING TISSUE DEVELOPMENT1

Carrageenan, the major cell wall carbohydrate of certain red algae, is variable in structure and gelling properties. Sequence types include gelling (kappa and iota) and nongelling (lambda) types in addition to precursors, often in hybrid molecules containing more than one precursor and/or sequence type. Molecular markers to subunits were needed to study carrageenan synthesis, cell wall organization, and the relationship between structure and function. Monoclonal antibodies were produced to carrageenan, and their specificities were determined by competitive enzyme immunoassay. Antibodies were identified with specificities related to kappa, iota, and lambda carrageenan. The patterns of immunofluorescence localization on Kappaphycus alvarezii = Eucheuma alvarezii var. tambalang (Doty) sections were distinctive for each antibody. The antibody to a kappa-related epitope labeled mature tissue strongly; antibodies to an iota-related epitope and a lambda-related epitope labeled weakly, consistent with the kappa-enriched carrageenan produced by this alga. Kappa-related epitopes were distributed throughout the wall and matrix, whereas iota-related epitopes were concentrated in the middle lamella. Lambda-related epitopes were localized primarily at the plant cuticle where kappa and iota antigens were lacking. An antibody appeared to be specific for a precursor of the gelling subunits because it showed maximal wall and intracellular labeling at the youngest developmental stage. All antibodies labeled intracellular inclusions in the transition zone between the epidermis and medulla during the development of medullary cells from the peripheral meristem in young branches. The results demonstrate the intracellular synthesis of epitopes related to all major carrageenan subunits and their differential extracellular distribution.

CELL AND GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF TYPES A AND B OF EMILIANIA HUXLEYI (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE) AS DETERMINED BY FLOW CYTOMETRY AND CHEMICAL ANALYSES1

Two morphotypes of Emiliania huxleyi (Lohmann 1902) Hay et al. 1967, types A and B, known to be unequally distributed in the oceans, were grown in dilution cultures at a range of photon flux densities (PFDs) (1.5–155 μmol photons·m^?2·s^?1) and two temperatures (10° and 15° C). Calcite carbon and organic carbon content of the cells as well as instantaneous growth rate, cell size, chlorophyll fluorescence, and light-scatter properties clearly depended on growth conditions and differed considerably for the two morphotypes. The ratio between calcite carbon and organic carbon production showed an optimum of 0.65 in E. huxleyi type A cells at PFD = 17.5. The ratio increased slightly with a temperature increase from 10° to 15°C but remained < 1.0 at both temperatures in light-limited cells. In contrast, calcite carbon production exceeded organic carbon production (ratio: 1.4–2.2) in phosphate-deprived cultures. Emiliania huxleyi type B generally showed a higher calcite carbon/organic carbon ratio than E. huxleyi type A, but the relation with PFD was similar. The content of calcite carbon and organic carbon as well as the instantaneous growth rate, cell size, chlorophyll fluorescence, and light-scatter properties showed large diel variations that were closely related to the division cycle. Our results show the importance of mapping the structure of any sampled cell population with respect to the phase in the cell division cycle, as this largely determines the outcome of not only “per cell” measurements but also short time (less than 24 h) flux measurements. For instance, dark production of calcite by E. huxleyi was negatively affected by cell division. Slowly growing (phosphate-stressed) cultures produced calcite in the light and in the dark. In contrast, rapidly growing cultures at 10°C produced calcite only in the light, whereas in the dark there was a significant loss of calcite due to dissolution.     

ISOLATION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THREE ISOLATES OF AMPHORA (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE)1

Three clones of the diatom Amphora were euryhaline, able to grow autotrophically at 160 lx (0.001 ly/min) and heterotrophically on glucose and fructose. Furthermore 2 clones grew on glutamate and feast extract. Light-limited growth of individual clones was stimulated by glycerol, galactose, lactate, acetate, aspartate and asparagine, although mannose torn inhibitory at low and high light levels. The half-saturation constant for growth of A. coffeaefomis var. perpusilla Grunow (Cleve) with glucose was 25 μM. Heterotrophic growth rate of this organism became saturated with respect to glucose at 0.5 mM.     

人抗药基因在小鼠ES细胞中的表达及嵌合体小鼠的研究

JUNCTIONAL PORES AND CELL WALL DEPRESSIONS OF HORMOSCILLA PRINGSHEIMII (CYANOPHYCEAE)1

Sassoon's isolate identified as Borzia trilocularis (but recently renamed Hormoscilla pringsheimii Anagnostidis and Komárek (1988) was studied with transmission electron microscopy because of its unusual combination of longitudinal wall features, described here in development for the first time. Junctional pores (linear rows of circumferential L-II layer pores near crosswalls) developed into multiple, parallel series, unlike the pores in many other species, which form only single rows. In dividing cells, two single pore rows appear opposite crosswalls after crosswall initiation, but an additional parallel row is usually added to each row by completion of fission. Elongating cells reveal 3–6 parallel and uniformly spaced pore rows developing on each side of crosswall pairs; these rows may end up toward the center of the cell wall after cell elongation. Pores are 18–24 nm wide with a center-to-center and row-to-row distance of 24–36 nm and occur in an especially thick L-II area. The second group of pit-like pores of longitudinal cell walls are 50–135 nm-wide depressions and have a center-to-center distance of 100–1000 nm. These depressions arise when the L-II layer fails to form and appear next to a row-pair of junctional pores soon after fission. Most depressions form single rows, but when they form several rows they may cover much of the surface of the cell. The L-III and L-IV wall layers line these L-II layer cavities; the outer surface of the L-IV layer around and within the depressions is covered with fibrous mucilage. Given their diversity, pores and depressions of longitudinal walls deserve further attention from functional and taxonomic points of view.     

CELL CYCLE AND ACCUMULATION OF ASTAXANTHIN IN HAEMATOCOCCUS LACUSTRIS (CHLOROPHYTA)1

Synchronous release of ellipsoidal biflagellated zoo-spores from thick-walled akinetes of Haematococcus lacustris (Gir.) Rostaf. (UTEX 16) was induced. After being released, the zoospores divided rapidly at a rate that depended on the initial concentration of urea in the culture medium. Cells fused after approximately five doublings, and the DNA content of most cells doubled within 50 h. Spherical nonmotile palmella cells and aplanospores appeared after 100 h of incubation in media containing high (1.7 g·L^?1) and low (0.85 g·L^?1) urea concentrations. Thereafter, the number of nonmotile cells increased with time, whereas motile cell numbers decreased with time. Nonmotile cells continued to grow and divide by forming 4–32 aplanospores, for up to 200 h of incubation in the high-urea medium. The size of the nonmotile cells and the number of daughter cells formed within was inversely proportional to the growth rate of the cultures. Within the first 100 h of incubation, dry weight biomass of the zoo-spores increased from about 0.3 to 0.8 g·L^?1. In the following 180 h, dry weight biomass reached 1.7 g·L^?1 in the low-urea medium and 2.5 g·L^?1 in the high-urea medium. The astaxanthin content of zoospores decreased with time, whereas there was a net accumulation of astaxanthin in the nonmotile cells. The specific rate of accumulation of astaxanthin in motile and nonmotile cells, however, was practically identical.

SUGAR COMPOSITION OF THE CELL WALL AND THE TAXONOMY OF CHLORELLA (CHLOROPHYCEAE)1

Cell walls of forty Chlorella strains covering all species of the Algal Collection of Göttingen (C. fusca var. vacuolata, C. kessleri, C. luteoviridis, C. minutissima, C. protothecoides, C. saccharophila, C. sorokiniana, C. vulgaris, and C. zofingiensis) were compared. The nine species were divided into two groups according to the major sugar in the rigid wall. The first group had a glucose-mannose-rigid wall and included C. fusca var. vacuolata, C. luteoviridis, C. minutissima, C. protothecoides, C. saccharophila, and C. zofingiensis. The second group, with a glucosamine-rigid wall, included C. kessleri, C. sorokiniana, and C. vulgaris. Chlorella strains of the nine species were further classified by constituent sugars, ruthenium red stainability, and anisotropy of the cell walls.     

CORRELATED EVOLUTION OF GENOME SIZE AND CELL VOLUME IN DIATOMS (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE)1

A correlation between genome size and cell volume has been observed across diverse assemblages of eukaryotes. We examined this relationship in diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), a phylum in which cell volume is of critical ecological and biogeochemical importance. In addition to testing whether there is a predictive relationship across extant species, we tested whether evolutionary divergences in genome size were correlated with evolutionary divergences in cell size (using independent contrasts). We estimated total DNA content for 16 diatom species using a flow cytometer and estimated cell volumes using critical dimensions with scaling equations. Our independent contrast analyses indicated a significant correlated evolution between genome size and cell volume. We then explored the evolutionary and ecological implications of this evolutionary relationship. Diatom cell volume is an important component of the global carbon cycle; therefore, understanding the mechanisms that drive diatom genome evolution has both evolutionary and ecological importance.
