蛴螬病原菌(Bacillus sp.)的初步研究

蛴螬是农林生产上的重要地下害虫,由于长期栖居地下,防治较为困难。多年实践证明,采用综合防治措施可以有效地控制为害,利用病原微生物防治蛴螬是综合防治中的一个环节,是值得今后深入研究的课题。 1975年9月,我们在河北省任邱县白洋淀附近玉米地采到数头自然患病的阔胸犀金龟(Pento-don patruelis Frivaldszkz)三龄幼虫。1976年5     

Sites of stromelysin cleavage in collagen types II, IX, X, and XI of cartilage

Human recombinant stromelysin-1 was shown to cleave four types of collagen (types II, IX, X, and XI) prepared from bovine and rat cartilages at specific sites. Stromelysin-1 cleaved salt-soluble native molecules of type IX collagen into two main triple-helical fragments, COL1 and COL2,3. Protein microsequencing identified the exact cleavage sites in the NC2 domain of all three chains, alpha 1(IX), alpha 2(IX), and alpha 3(IX). Stromelysin-1 also acted as a "telopeptidase," in that it efficiently clipped intact molecules of types II and XI collagens at sites just inside their terminal cross-linking hydroxylysine residues. Native molecules of type X collagen were cleaved by stromelysin-1 within their triple helical domains at a COOH-terminal site that reduced the alpha 1(X) chain size by 10 kDa. These findings suggest an important role for stromelysin in the turnover and remodeling of the collagenous matrix of cartilage both normally and in degenerative joint disease.

Concanavalin A Receptors Associated with Rat Brain Synaptic Junctions Are High Mannose-Type Oligosaccharides

Abstract: Glycoproteins were isolated from a rat brain synaptic junction fraction by affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A-agarose. The isolated glycoproteins were digested with pronase and radiolabeled with ¹²⁵I-Bolton Hunter reagent, and ¹²⁵I-Concanavalin A-binding glycopeptides were isolated by chromatography on Concanavalin A-agarose. Treatment of the ¹²⁵I-Concanavalin A-binding glycopeptides with either α-mannosidase or endo-β- N -acetylglucosaminidase-C₁₁ abolished their interaction with Concanavalin A. The pronase digest was reacted with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase-C₁₁ and released oligosaccharides were reduced with NaB³H₄. Following affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A-agarose, Concanavalin A-binding [³H]oligosaccharides were chromatographed on Biogel P₄. Two major oligosaccharides corresponding to standard carbohydrates containing eight and five mannose residues were identified. Treatment of these oligosaccharides with α-mannosidase converted them to smaller saccharides having a mobility on Biogel P₄ columns equal to the standard disaccharide mannose-β-1-4- N '-acetylglucosamine. These results demonstrate that the Concanavalin A receptor activity associated with CNS synaptic junctions resides in asparaginelinked oligosaccharides of the high-mannose type.     

我国主要蚧螬对乳状菌的敏感性

我国主要蛴螬种类对乳状菌(Bacillus popilliae Dutky)(以下简称B.p.)敏感性的测定:已有14种蛴螬能注射感染B.p.。超出了Dutky(1963)的记录。敏感寄主毛喙丽金龟(Adoretus hirsutus Ohaus)、四纹丽金龟(Popillia quadriguttata F.)、暗黑鳃金龟(Holotrichia morosa Waterh)、黑棕鳃金龟(Apogonia cupreoviridis Fairm.)的幼虫注射感病率达91.6—100%。E.P.拌种喂食四纹、阔胸犀金龟(Pentodon patruelis Friv.)的幼虫,感病率分别达到68.9%和50%。B.p.拌土喂食阔胸幼虫,感病率为28.5%,田间小区试验,保苗效果达49.5%,虫口减退率达40.0%。定向转主驯化B.p.对华北大黑鳃金龟(Holotrichia oblitaFald.)幼虫,注射感病率已由不感病提高至感染率34.6%。 利用病原微生物防治害虫是综合防治的一个重要环节,应用乳状菌防治金龟子幼虫是以菌治虫方面值得研究的课题之一。 早在本世纪三十年代已发现日本金龟子(Popillia japonicaNewm.)幼虫罹患乳臭病的事实。1940年Dutky首先对其病原菌(B.popilliae)和(B.lentimorbus)进行命名和描述,继之White 1941,Beard 1945等对其生理生化、致病机理等作了较多的研究。五十年代后,对这类菌的超显微结构、离体培养等研究更为广泛。它作为第一个商品化的细菌杀虫剂,美国最早用于防治草地下的日本金龟子幼虫,取得了显著的效果。 我国蛴螬种类在千种以上,在华北、东北、西北的农田里为害十分严重,由于蛴螬的种类多,分布广,因而寄生于蛴螬的乳状菌株也相当丰富。目前已从主要蛴螬种类上陆续分离出一些菌株,将为我国开发利用乳状菌提供资源。近几年来,我们除对我国菌株进行研究外,也做了引进菌种Bacillus popilliae Dutky对我国主要蛴螬敏感性的研究,本文主要报道这方面结果。     

Scanning molecular sieve chromatography of interacting protein systems. IV. The difference profile method as applied to the Gibbs-Duhem expression in the analysis of the dimer-tetramer equilibria of oxyhemoglobin A

The recently-developed large zone difference profile method in scanning molecular sieve chromatography is applied to the analysis of the Gibbs-Duhem expression in the tetramer-dimer equilibrium of human oxyhemoglobin A. The preferential binding term and solvation parameters of the Hofmeister anion phosphate are examined. Results indicate that as the concentration of phosphate ions increase, a hydrated phosphate is formed which enhances the association by perturbing the solvation layer of the hemoglobin molecules. The standard free energy change at a given Hofmeister anion activity of InA(x) = -3.2476 is 9.4 +/- 0.2 kcal mole . DeltaG degrees at InA(x) = -1.2711 is 10.90 +/- 0.05 kcal mole , suggesting that approximately 11 kcal are required to dissociate one mole of tetramer into dimer.     

ZAKβ antagonizes and ameliorates the cardiac hypertrophic and apoptotic effects induced by ZAKα

ZAK (sterile alpha motif and leucine zipper containing kinase AZK), a serine/threonine kinase with multiple biochemical functions, has been associated with various cell processes, including cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cardiac hypertrophy. In our previous reports, we found that the activation of ZAKα signaling was critical for cardiac hypertrophy. In this study, we show that the expression of ZAKα activated apoptosis through both a FAS‐dependent pathway and a mitochondria‐dependent pathway by subsequently inducing caspase‐3. ZAKβ, an isoform of ZAKα, is dramatically expressed during cardiac hypertrophy and apoptosis. The interaction between ZAKα and ZAKβ was demonstrated here using immunoprecipitation. The results show that ZAKβ has the ability to diminish the expression level of ZAKα. These findings reveal an inherent regulatory role of ZAKβ to antagonize ZAKα and to subsequently downregulate the cardiac hypertrophy and apoptosis induced by ZAKα.

A model of a human recognition system with ‘thinking’

The human system of pattern recognition is explored. This system utilizes the method of syntactic feature comparison, activation of the patterns containing the feature, and sorting among the activated patterns. Both the pattern recognition process without thinking and with thinking are discussed, and examples are given. Contrary to the usual concept, the more complicated pattern has a better chance to be recognized correctly.A portion of this paper has been presented at the 1977 International Cybernetic Conference in Washington
