通过生物测定、蛋白质电泳和等位酶分析等方法对5个不同地区的尖音库蚊复组蚊虫Culex pipiens complex的抗性水平、种群中非特异性酯酶基因表型分布和种群遗传多样性进行了研究。不同地理种群的抗性检测结果表明：5个种群分别对敌敌畏、对硫磷、氯菊酯和溴氰菊酯的抗性较高,对残杀威、巴沙和胺菊酯的抗性较低;朝阳种群对敌敌畏抗性最高（55.7倍）,武汉种群次之;佛山种群对氯菊酯和溴氰菊酯的抗性比率高达123倍和23.9倍。酯酶电泳结果显示：5个种群间酯酶多态性存在差异,广州和佛山两个库蚊种群酯酶表型多态性最高,有B1,A2-B2,A8-B8,A9-B9,B10和A11-B11等6种酯酶表型,提示高活性酯酶是主要的抗性机制。群体遗传学研究表明：每位点平均等位基因数（A）为2.76,平均多态位点百分率（P）为64.45％,平均预期杂合度（He）为0.1943,种群间遗传分化系数（Fst）值为0.10,平均基因流(Nm)＝2.57,说明5个种群有较丰富的遗传多样性,种群内遗传多样性高于种群之间。据此推测,种群间可以通过迁徙等方式进行基因交流,使得遗传结构、抗性水平朝一致性方向变化。本研究对我国尖音库蚊复组蚊虫的综合治理有一定指导意义。     

An active site tyrosine residue is essential for amidohydrolase but not for esterase activity of a class 2 histone deacetylase-like bacterial enzyme

HDACs (histone deacetylases) are considered to be among the most important enzymes that regulate gene expression in eukaryotic cells acting through deacetylation of epsilon-acetyl-lysine residues within the N-terminal tail of core histones. In addition, both eukaryotic HDACs as well as their bacterial counterparts were reported to also act on non-histone targets. However, we are still far from a comprehensive understanding of the biological activities of this ancient class of enzymes. In the present paper, we studied in more detail the esterase activity of HDACs, focussing on the HDAH (histone deacetylase-like amidohydrolase) from Bordetella/Alcaligenes strain FB188. This enzyme was classified as a class 2 HDAC based on sequence comparison as well as functional data. Using chromogenic and fluorogenic ester substrates we show that HDACs such as FB188 HDAH indeed have esterase activity that is comparable with those of known esterases. Similar results were obtained for human HDAC1, 3 and 8. Standard HDAC inhibitors were able to block both activities with similar IC(50) values. Interestingly, HDAC inhibitors such as suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) also showed inhibitory activity against porcine liver esterase and Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase. The esterase and the amidohydrolase activity of FB188 HDAH both appear to have the same substrate specificity concerning the acyl moiety. Interestingly, a Y312F mutation in the active site of HDAH obstructed amidohydrolase activity but significantly improved esterase activity, indicating subtle differences in the mechanism of both catalytic activities. Our results suggest that, in principle, HDACs may have other biological roles besides acting as protein deacetylases. Furthermore, data on HDAC inhibitors affecting known esterases indicate that these molecules, which are currently among the most promising drug candidates in cancer therapy, may have a broader target profile requiring further exploration.     

东亚飞蝗山西两地理种群酯酶特性的比较研究

对东亚飞蝗山西临猗和永济2个地理种群的酯酶特性进行了比较研究。非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电 泳图谱显示：以α-乙酸萘酯为底物染色,2个东亚飞蝗种群谱带差别不明显。但是,酯酶动力 学研究结果表明：以α-乙酸萘酯和α-丁酸萘酯为底物时,永济种群的酯酶活性分别是临猗 种群的1.81倍和1.20倍。永济种群酯酶活性的增高可能与非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳图谱显 示出较临猗种群多出的酶带有关。体外酯酶抑制动力学研究表明：永济和临猗2种群所含酯酶大 都为B型酯酶,其含量分别为84.94%和91.47%。永济种群对对氧磷的耐受性要高于临猗种群 ,我们推测可能与2种群马拉硫磷使用背景不同有关。     

Esterases in pollen and stigma of Brassica

The dry type stigma of Brassica is covered with a continuous layer of cuticle. Cutinase and non-specific esterases may be involved in breakdown of this cuticle barrier during pollen-stigma interaction, but only a little is known about their nature and characteristics. We report here the presence of two distinct esterases from stigma and pollen of Brassica. A 33 kD esterase assayed using MU-butyrate substrate shows high activity in stigma papillae. A similar esterase from Tropaeolum pollen has been shown to possess active cutinase activity. The esterase activity in anther tissue is due to a 24 kD enzyme with substrate specificity toward acetate esters. Both enzymes require sulfhydryl groups for their catalytic activity. Immunogold labelling of antibodies raised against these esterases localised the proteins at the subcellular level. Antibodies for MU-butyrate hydrolase gave a positive signal in the cell walls of mature stigma papillae and in the tapetum and microspores during early stages of anther development. In the mature anther, a positive signal in the cytoplasm of pollen grains with some detectable localisation in the exine layer of the pollen wall was obtained. Similar results were obtained with acetate hydrolase antibodies. These esterases are thus spatially and temporally regulated in stigma and anther tissues.Abbreviations MU methyl umbelliferyl - pAbC anti-butyrate hydrolase polyclonal antibodies - pAbE anti-acetate hydrolase polyclonal antibodies     

Preliminary characterisation of esterase and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-acetylhydrolase activities from cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) salivary glands

Naphthyl esterase and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-acetylhydrolase activities were detected in the salivary glands of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis. Salivary naphthyl esterase activity is disgorged during exploratory probing. Whole extracts of salivary glands contain esterase activity against the short-chain naphthyl esters alpha-naphthyl acetate (approximately 210pmol/min/gland pair; 10.0micromol/min/mg specific activity; K(m) approximately 59microM) and beta-naphthyl acetate (approximately 110pmol/min/gland pair; 5.2micromol/min/mg specific activity; K(m) approximately 132microM). Salivary gland extracts have PAF-acetylhydrolase activity (approximately 5pmol/min/gland pair; 0.24micromol/min/mg specific activity) but do not have detectable acetylcholinesterase activity. Native-PAGE and IEF resolve three and six salivary gland naphthyl esterase bands, respectively, and both patterns are different from carcass esterases. Salivary gland naphthyl esterase activity binds reversibly to Concanavalin A, and enzymatic deglycosylation with glycopeptidase F produced a new, fast-migrating salivary gland naphthyl esterase band on Native-PAGE. Renaturation of esterase activity after SDS-PAGE gave approximately 56kDa, approximately 57kDa and approximately 58kDa naphthyl-esterase-positive bands. On gel filtration naphthyl esterase and PAF-acetylhydrolase activities co-elute as a single peak with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 59kDa. This partially purified pool of enzyme had esterase activity against a series of short-chain alpha- and beta-naphthyl esters. The heterogeneity of salivary gland esterases, their relationship to PAF-acetylhydrolase, and the possible physiological functions of salivary gland PAF-acetylhydrolase activity are discussed.     

Novel ferulic acid esterases are induced by growth of Aspergillus niger on sugar-beet pulp

 A ferulic acid esterase (FAE-III), which was induced by growth of Aspergillus niger CBS 120.49 on oat-spelts xylan, was capable of releasing ferulic acid from wheat bran but not from sugar-beet pulp (SBP) [Faulds CB, Williamson G (1994) Microbiology 140:779–787]. Growth of this strain on SBP gave low levels of ferulic acid esterase activity (using methyl ferulate as substrate). A similar growth with a different A. niger strain (CS 180) gave tenfold higher levels of esterase activity. Assaying culture filtrates obtained from A. niger CS 180 grown on SBP over a 3 to 10-day period against four simple phenolic methyl esters demonstrated that at least two esterases were produced, and, by comparison of substrate specificity, FAE-III was either absent or present only at low levels. Furthermore, immunodetection of proteins did not detect the presence of FAE-III in culture supernatants of SBP-grown cultures, whereas it did in cultures grown on oat-spelts xylan. These results show that SBP does not contain the inducer for FAE-III, but does induce novel esterases. When A. niger CS 180 cultures were grown on different carbon sources, esterase activity was induced on SBP, sugar-beet arabinan and oat-spelts xylan, but not on simple sugars or de-esterified sugar-beet pectin. Further, SBP-grown cultures co-inoculated with arabinanase, galactanase or xylanase did not exhibit increased levels of extracellular FAE activity or an earlier appearance of esterase activity, although there was an increase in esterase activity with added polygalacturonase. These results show that novel esterases are induced by growth of A. niger on SBP. Received: 11 September 1995/Received revision: 5 December 1995/Accepted: 11 December 1995
