蝮蛇毒碱性磷脂酶A_2基因的克隆

从蝮蛇毒腺中抽提总ＲＮＡ．利用人工合成寡核苷酸引物作逆转录,以ｃＤＮＡ为模板进行体外扩增,获得磷脂酶Ａ２（简称ＰＬＡ２）基因,克隆至ｐＢＳ－ｋｓ载体中。通过对３个碱性ＰＬＡ２（简称ＢＰＬＡ２）基因单独克隆分别作ＤＮＡ全序列分析,推导ｐｒｏ－ＢＰＬＡ２由１３８个氨基酸残基构成,与已测定的部分氨基酸序列比较,基本相符。该基因成功的克隆,不仅推导出ＢＰＬＡ２的蛋白质全序列,也为进一步开展蛇毒功能肽蛋白质工程的研究工作打下了良好的基础。

西双版纳石灰岩森林的植物区系地理研究

西双版纳石灰岩森林植物区系经调查有维管束植物１５３科,６４０属,１３９４种及变种,其中,种子植物占１２９科５５８属１２６９种及变种。种子植物的分布区类型组成是热带和主产热带的科占总科数的７１．３％;热带分布属占总属数的９０．１％;热带分布种超过总种数的９０％。热带分布属中又以热带亚洲分布属最多,占总数的３５．３％;热带分布种中则以热带亚洲分布及其变型的种类占总种数的６４．５％为特点。这表明该石灰岩森林植物区系是热带性质的植物区系,属于热带亚洲区系的一部分。由于特殊的地理位置,西双版纳地区是许多典型热带植物的分布北界,同时又是几种地理成分的交汇地带,这又使该石灰岩区系带有明显热带边缘性质和多种地理成分交汇的特点。

A Role for Cdk2 Kinase in Negatively Regulating DNA Replication during S Phase of the Cell Cycle

Using cell-free extracts made from Xenopus eggs, we show that cdk2-cyclin E and A kinases play an important role in negatively regulating DNA replication. Specifically, we demonstrate that the cdk2 kinase concentration surrounding chromatin in extracts increases 200-fold once the chromatin is assembled into nuclei. Further, we find that if the cdk2–cyclin E or A concentration in egg cytosol is increased 16-fold before the addition of sperm chromatin, the chromatin fails to initiate DNA replication once assembled into nuclei. This demonstrates that cdk2–cyclin E or A can negatively regulate DNA replication. With respect to how this negative regulation occurs, we show that high levels of cdk2–cyclin E do not block the association of the protein complex ORC with sperm chromatin but do prevent association of MCM3, a protein essential for replication. Importantly, we find that MCM3 that is prebound to chromatin does not dissociate when cdk2– cyclin E levels are increased. Taken together our results strongly suggest that during the embryonic cell cycle, the low concentrations of cdk2–cyclin E present in the cytosol after mitosis and before nuclear formation allow proteins essential for potentiating DNA replication to bind to chromatin, and that the high concentration of cdk2–cyclin E within nuclei prevents MCM from reassociating with chromatin after replication. This situation could serve, in part, to limit DNA replication to a single round per cell cycle.     

Human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 and simian immunodeficiency virus Nef use distinct but overlapping target sites for downregulation of cell surface CD4.

Although the Nef proteins encoded by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immuno-deficiency virus (SIV) are known to induce the efficient internalization and degradation of cell surface CD4, it remains unclear whether this process involves a direct interaction between Nef and CD4. Here, we report that CD4 downregulation by HIV-1 and SIV Nef requires distinct but overlapping target sites within the CD4 intracytoplasmic domain. In particular, mutation of a glutamic acid residue located at CD4 residue 405 or of arginine and methionine residues located, respectively, at residue 406 and 407 results in a mutant CD4 protein that is efficiently downregulated by HIV-1 Nef but refractory to downregulation by SIV Nef. However, both HIV-1 and SIV Nef require an isoleucine located at residue 410 and the dileucine motif found at CD4 residues 413 and 414. CD4 downregulation induced by the Nef protein encoded by HIV-2 is shown to require a CD4 target sequence that is similar to, but distinct from, that observed with SIV Nef. These data explain the previous finding that the murine CD4 protein, which has an alanine at residue 405, is refractory to downregulation by SIV, but not HIV-1, Nef (J. L. Foster, S.J. Anderson, A. L. B. Frazier, and J. V. Garcia, Virology 201:373-379, 1994). In addition, these observations provide strong genetic support for the hypothesis that the Nef-mediated downregulation of cell surface CD4 requires a direct Nef-CD4 interaction.     

含铬重组液激活部分缺失金属原子簇的钼铁蛋白的研究

棕色固氮菌（Ａｚｏｔｏｂａｃｔｅｒ ｖｉｎｅｌａｎｄｉｉ）固氮酶钼铁蛋白经邻菲口罗啉和Ｏ２ 处理后,变为部分缺失ＦｅＭｏｃｏ 和Ｐ－ｃｌｕｓｔｅｒ的失活蛋白。与由Ｋ２ＣｒＯ４、高柠檬酸铁、Ｎａ２Ｓ和二硫苏糖醇组成的重组液保温后,处理蛋白对乙炔和质子还原的活性都得以显著恢复;然而,它的吸收光谱和圆二色谱虽有明显恢复,但仍与还原钼铁蛋白有所不同。这表明,激活蛋白中也许存在功能与钼铁蛋白相似,而结构则有所差异的含铬（ＣｒＦｅ）蛋白     

通过和玉米杂交诱导硬粒小麦单倍体

硬粒小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ ｄｕｒｕｍ Ｄｅｓｆ．）ＤＲ１４７授以超甜玉米（Ｚｅａ ｍ ａｙｓ Ｌ．） ｓｓ ７７００的花粉后,在８３．４％ 的柱头上观察到花粉萌发及花粉管长入胚囊,有９．９％ 的子房发生了卵细胞的单受精,１．９％ 的子房发生了中央细胞的单受精,３２．７％ 的子房发生了双受精。尽管双受精后可同时形成胚和胚乳,但胚乳往往发育迟缓,甚至败育。硬粒小麦×玉米形成的杂合子核型高度不稳定,在最初的几次细胞分裂中,来自父本玉米的染色体逐步被排除,最后形成硬粒小麦单倍体胚。在授以玉米花粉４ ｈ 后用１００ ｐｐｍ ２,４－Ｄ溶液浸蘸硬粒小麦穗部,可以有效地促进幼胚在缺乏胚乳或胚乳败育情况下的生长和发育。授粉９—１３ ｄ 后由５３３个硬粒小麦子房解剖出２５个胚,得胚率为４．７％ 。通过幼胚拯救获得１１棵正常植株,植株获得率为２．１％ 。根尖细胞染色体计数表明,它们为单倍体（２ｎ＝ ２ｘ＝ １４）。
