Removal of Adsorbed Toxin Fragments That Modify Bacillus thuringiensis CryIC delta-Endotoxin Iodination and Binding by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Treatment and Renaturation

We report that 10- and 25-kDa toxin fragments adhere to CryIC prepared from Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystals, block iodination, and alter membrane binding. There is no apparent affect on CryIC toxicity against Spodoptera exigua. Associated peptides remained bound to CryIC in the presence of 50 mM dithiothreitol or 6 M urea. A novel detergent-renaturation procedure was developed for the purification of B. thuringiensis CryIC toxin. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) treatment followed by gel filtration chromatography yielded a homogeneous 62-kDa CryIC toxin. After removal of SDS and renaturation, the purified CryIC toxin was fully insecticidal to S. exigua larvae. I-labeled CryIC bound with high affinity to brush border membrane vesicles from S. exigua larvae.     

Artificial mosaic protein containing antigenic epitopes of hepatitis E virus.

A synthetic gene encoding an artificial polypeptide composed of antigenic epitopes of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) proteins was constructed from short oligodeoxyribonucleotides by using PCR. The polypeptide comprises a mosaic of three antigenically active dominant regions from the protein encoded by open reading frame 2 (ORF2), one antigenically active region from the protein encoded by ORF3 of the Burmese HEV strain, and one antigenically active region from the protein encoded by ORF3 of the Mexican HEV strain. The mosaic protein was expressed in Escherichia coli as a chimera with glutathione S-transferase or beta-galactosidase. Guinea pig sera containing antibodies to the corresponding HEV synthetic peptides were used to demonstrate by Western immunoblot analysis and enzyme immunoassay the presence and accessibility of all HEV-specific antigenic epitopes introduced into the mosaic protein. Both the glutathione S-transferase and beta-galactosidase hybrid proteins were analyzed by using a panel of human anti-HEV-positive and -negative sera. The data obtained strongly indicate a diagnostic potential for the mosaic protein.     

Characterization of proteins by means of their buffer capacity, measured with an ISFET-based coulometric sensor—actuator system

Proteins form the specific selector in many biochemical sensors. A change in one of the properties of such a protein has to be detected by an appropriate transducer, which completes the biochemical sensor. One of these properties is the buffer capacity of a protein. If the binding of a substance to a protein can significantly change the proton binding, which accounts for the buffer capacity of proteins, the detection of this changed buffer capacity enables the construction of a new type of biosensor.

It will be shown that the buffer capacity can be measured with an ISFET-based sensor—actuator device. The alternating generation of protons and hydroxyl ions by alternating current coulometry at a porous noble metal actuator electrode causes an associated small pH perturbation, which is detected by the underlying pH-sensitive ISFET. The amplitude of the measured signal is a function of the buffer capacity of the solute, in which proteins can be present (or these proteins can be adsorbed in the porous actuator electrode of the device). A model describing the transfer function from the electrical input signal of the actuator to the resulting chemical output, which is subsequently detected by the ISFET pH sensor, is presented. Preliminary results of the measured buffer capacity of ribonuclease and lysozyme are presented.

水分胁迫可降低小麦叶绿体的室温荧光产量和Ｍｇ２＋ 在两个光系统间的调节能力、叶片的可变荧光产量、可变荧光猝灭速率以及荧光上升互补面积,表明光系统Ⅱ受到了伤害。光系统Ⅱ氧化侧的人工电子供体ＤＰＣ能部分恢复受到抑制的叶绿体可变荧光,说明水分胁迫对光系统Ⅱ的损伤部位不仅位于氧化侧,也可能在反应中心上     

甜菜碱对呼吸酶的保护效应

以菠菜（Ｓｐｉｎａｃｉａ ｏｌｅｒａｃｅａ Ｌ．）叶片为材料,研究了不同浓度的甜菜碱和ＮａＣｌ对三羧酸循环、末端氧化和光呼吸的组成酶的活性的影响。与电解质ＮａＣｌ不同,高浓度的甜菜碱对这些酶的活性是非抑制性的,并对ＮａＣｌ的抑制作用有一定保护效应。甜菜碱是很好的有机渗透调节剂。这与甜菜碱在细胞质中起渗透调节作用,以及是无机渗透调节剂的配伍溶质的假设是一致的。

A simple procedure for the expression of genes in transgenic soybean callus tissue

Cotyledons from germinating seeds of the soybean cultivar Peking were inoculated with virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A281:pZA-7 which carries a wild type Ti plasmid pTiBo542 and a disarmed Ti plasmid (a binary vector)pZA-7 which contains the glucuronidase (uidA) and neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) genes. Tumors were produced on all inoculated explants and 82% of these tumor lines were cotransformed by the nptII gene from the binary vector pZA-7 as shown by PCR analysis (18 of 22 lines tested). Eleven of these 18 lines were also resistant to kanamycin. Eleven lines expressed -glucuronidase activity (GUS), six of which were also kanamycin resistant. Since there is a high rate of coexpression of genes carried by the binary vector, this system provides a simple and rapid method for the expression of genes of interest in transformed soybean tissue which has been used successfully to test constructs designed for soybean transformation.
