红莲型细胞质雄性不育水稻线粒体atp6基因转录本的编辑位点研究

以红莲(HL)型水稻细胞质雄性不育系A、保持系B及杂种一代F1为材料,首次比较研究了红莲型水稻线粒体atp6基因转录本的编辑位点及各位点的编辑频率.结果表明atp6基因的转录本有18个编辑位点,其中有15个发生在密码子的第一和第二位点上,这些位点的编辑最终会导致氨基酸种类的变化.18个编辑位点在A、B和F1中没有差异,但各位点的编辑频率在引入了核恢复基因的条件下发生了较大的变化,完全编辑的比例增加.这些结果首次证明HL型细胞质雄性不育与线粒体atp6转录本的编辑有一定相关性,编辑不充分的转录产物最终会干扰线粒体功能的正常发挥.

红莲型杂交水稻的研究与发展

1972年,武汉大学科研人员以红芒野生稻为母本,与江西地方品种莲塘早父本杂交,在后代中发现了雄性不育株.再用莲塘早多代回交,于1974年获得了不育性稳定的株系,命名为红莲型细胞质雄性不育系(Honglian-type cytoplasmic male sterility,HL-CMS),莲塘早为其保持系,红莲型细胞质雄性不育水稻由此问世.与单核期花粉败育的野败型水稻不同,红莲型属于二核期配子败育类型,花粉碘染为圆败,是杂交水稻新质源.40年来,武汉大学科研人员将基础研究、应用研究和产业化紧密结合,促进了红莲型杂交水稻的发展.分子功能验证发现,不育系线粒体内一编码79个氨基酸的可读框OrfH79为HL-CMS不育基因,ORFH79蛋白破坏线粒体正常功能后导致花粉败育.遗传分析发现,HL-CMS为双基因恢复模式,进而克隆了恢复基因Rf5和Rf6.育性恢复机理研究表明,恢复基因RF5蛋白与GRP蛋白互作,组装成400~500kD的分子复合体作用于atp6-OrfH79 mRNA,从而恢复不育性.借助分子标记辅助选择技术,创制出新的CMS和多基因恢复水稻材料,并用于育种实践,选育出高产优质红莲型杂交水稻新组合红莲优6号、珞优8号和粤优9号等,相继通过了湖北省、广西省和农业部国家农作物品种审定委员会等审(认)定,构建的红莲型杂交水稻亲本繁殖提纯体系突破了产业化瓶颈.当前,红莲型杂交水稻在中国长江流域、华南稻区已大面积种植,在越南、印度尼西亚、马来西亚、孟加拉和菲律宾等东南亚国家也表现优异,展现出广阔的应用前景.     

粘类小麦细胞质雄性不育基因的初步研究

许多细胞质雄性不育(CMS)基因涉及ATP合成酶基因或细胞色素氧化酶基因的片段,该研究选用‘中国春'小麦(Triticum aestivum)的atp1+atp9、atp6、atp8、cox2、cox3、nad9和T型小麦不育系的orf256基因片段作探针,对粘类小麦不育系、保持系、恢复系及其F1进行Northern杂交分析,以探寻粘类小麦不育系的CMS候选基因.结果发现,atp6在4种粘类不育系中的转录本大于保持系;cox3在4种不育系中的转录本小于保持系.由此推测atp6或cox3基因可能参与了粘类小麦CMS的形成.

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.

Cause of Senescence of Nine Sorts of Flowers

The levels of endogenous phytohormones and respiratory rate in nine sorts of flowers such as Cymbidium faberi Rolfe, Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth and others were investigated both at full bloom and senescence and meanwhile the effect of exogenous phytohormones on prolonging the blossoms and promoting ethylene production were tested. There is a high content of endogenous ethylene in all the long-lived flowere, about 3–16 folds higer than the short-lived ones. There is a high level of ABA at full blooming flowers of short-lived flowers, in which there is no or only some cytokinins in it, but the ratio of CTK (6BA+zeatin)/ABA is smaller(l.7). The endogenous ABA reached a much higher level at senescence in all nine sorts of flowers, so it is reasonable to consider that it is ABA which plays an important role of regulation in controlling flower's senescence. There is a much higher level of GA3 and zeatin in the long-lived flowers which is not demonstrated in the shortlived ones. The respiratory rate is one of the factors controtling the longevity of flowers, but it does not play a decided role. Application of 6BA and zeatin prolongs distinctly orchid’s longevity, however exogenous IAA through the promotive action on ethylene production, evidently extends the longevity of the flowers of the Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth.     

Interconnection of parameters of regulation system of lipid peroxidation and of morphophysiological parameters of mouse liver

A complex analysis of seasonal fluctuations of the mean group parameters of the system of regulation of lipid peroxidation has been performed in liver of Balb/c mice. Association of lipid characteristics and morphophysiological parameters is studied in the Balb/c mouse liver. An inter-connection is revealed between the liver index and the amount of lysoforms of phospholipids, the scale and character of the interconnection differing essentially depending on proportion of phos-phatidylcholine in mouse liver phospholipids.

Physiological characteristics of various species of strains of carboxydobacteria

Seven strains of aerobic carbon monoxide-oxidizing bacteria (carboxydebacteria) when growing on CO as sole source of carbon and energy had doubling times which ranged from 12–42 h. The activity profiles obtained after discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation indicated that the CO-oxidizing enzymes are soluble and the hydrogenases are membrane-bound in all strains examined. The CO-oxidizing enzymes of Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena, Pseudomonas carboxydoflava, Comamonas compransoris, and the so far unidentified strains OM2, OM3, and OM4 had a molecular weight of 230,000; that of Achromobacter carboxydus amounted to 170,000. The molecular weights of the CO-oxidizing and H₂-oxidizing enzymes turned out to be identical. The cell sonicates were shown to catalyze the oxidation of both CO and H₂ with methylene blue, thionine, phenazine methosulfate, toluylene blue, dichlorophenolindophenol, cytochrome c or ferricyanide as electron acceptors. Methyl viologen, benzyl viologen, FAD⁺, FMN⁺, and NAD(P)⁺ were not reduced. The spectrum of electron acceptors was identical for all strains tested. Neither free formate, hydrogen nor oxygen gas were involved in the CO-oxidation reaction. Methylene blue was reduced by CO at a 1:1 molar ratio. The results indicate that CO-oxidation by carboxydobacteria is catalyzed by identical or similar enzymes and that the reaction obeys the equation CO+H₂OCO₂+2H⁺+2e^- as previously shown for Pseudomonas carboxydovorans.Dedicated to Otto Kandler remembering almost three decades of enjoyable cooperation     

Modulation of allostery of pyruvate kinase by shifting of an ensemble of microstates

Since the introduction of the concepts of allostery about four decades ago, much advancement has been made in elucidating the structure-function correlation in allostery. However, there are still a number of issues that remain unresolved. In this review we used mammalian pyruvate kinase (PK) as a model system to understand the role of protein dynamics in modulating cooperativity. PK has a triosephosphate isomerase (TIM)(α/β)₈ barrel structural motif. PK is an ideal system to address basic questions regarding regulatory mechanisms about this common (α/β)₈ structural motif. The simplest model accounting for all of the solution thermodynamic and kinetic data on ligand-enzyme interactions involves two conformational states, inactive E^T and active E^R. These conformational states are represented by domain movements. Further studies provide the first evidence for a differential effect of ligand binding on the dynamics of the structural elements, not major secondary structural changes. These data are consistent with our model that allosteric regulation of PK is the consequence of perturbation of the distribution of an ensemble of states in which the inactive E^T and active E^R represent the two extreme end states. Sequence differences and ligands can modulate the distribution of states leading to alterations of functions. The future work includes: defining the network of functionally connected residues; elucidating the chemical principles governing the sequence differences which affect functions; and probing the nature of mutations on the stability of the secondary structural elements, which in turn modulate allostery.
