基于分子标记的入侵陕西草地贪夜蛾种群生物型分析

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith是一种世界性入侵害虫,为了明确入侵陕西的草地贪夜蛾的种群生物型并了解其发生及扩散规律,本研究对采集自陕西省8个地市180个草地贪夜蛾样本分别进行了基于COI和Tpi分子标记的生物型鉴定。分析发现入侵陕西的草地贪夜蛾84%是水稻型母本与玉米型父本杂交形成的杂合玉米型草地贪夜蛾。COI分子标记的结果显示,样本中水稻型占比为84.44%,玉米型为15.56%;基于Tpi基因片段的结果表明除商洛样本SL-3外,其它样本均为玉米型。值得注意的是,SL-3与非洲特异型序列同源性达100%,此非洲特异单倍型为陕西省内首次、国内第2次出现。本研究为草地贪夜蛾的迁飞扩散规律及早期预警提供了新的理论基础。

Molecular simulation of the preferential adsorption of CH4 and CO2 in middle-rank coal

The adsorption of the CO₂/CH₄ mixture in coal affects the CO₂-enhanced coalbed methane recovery project. To gain a better understanding of CH₄ and CO₂ interaction with middle-rank coal, we developed a molecular concept with support for the sorption of CH₄ and CO₂ on Ximing-8 coal (XM-8) (1.8% vitrinite reflectance). A XM-8 coal model was built by using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. The molecular simulations were established by the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo and MD methods to study the effects of the temperature, pressure, and species bulk mole fraction on the pure component adsorption isotherms, isosteric heat and adsorption selectivity. It turns out that the CO₂ selectivity decreases as the pressure and its own bulk mole fraction increases, but it increases as temperature increases, and the selectivity values are not always greater than 1. The interactions between the small molecules and XM-8 were determined by using density functional theory. It was found that the interactions between the CO₂ and XM-8 surface is greater, particularly for the heteroatoms than CH₄. The adsorption selectivity and interaction were simultaneously used to reveal that the advantageously substituted range is high temperature, low pressure and a high content of heteroatoms.     

LncRNA FOXC2-AS1 protects cardiomyocytes from doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity through activation of WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein-1

Doxorubicin (Dox) is an anthracycline antibiotic that has been used to treat different cancers. Dox-induced cardiotoxicity is common in clinical practice, while its mechanism is unknown. It has been proved that lncRNA FOXC2-AS1 may promote doxorubicin resistance and WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein-1 (WISP1) blocks doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte death. Our study aimed to investigate the involvement of lncRNA FOXC2-AS1 and WISP1 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and to explore their interactions. In our study we observed that FOXC2-AS1 and WISP1 mRNA were downregulated in heart tissues of mice with Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. FOXC2-AS1 and WISP1 mRNA expression were positively correlated in mice with Dox-induced cardiotoxicity but not in healthy mice. Overexpression of FOXC2-AS1 promoted to viability of mice cardiomyocytes under Dox treatment and also increased the expression level of WISP1. In contrast, WISP1 overexpression showed no significant effect on FOXC2-AS1. We therefore conclude that lncRNA FOXC2-AS1 may upregulate WISP1 to protect cardiomyocytes from doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Binding of Cu2+ to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase

S-Adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase regulates biomethylation and homocysteine metabolism. It has been proposed to be a copper binding protein playing an important role in copper transport and distribution. In the present work, the kinetics of binding and releasing of copper ions was studied using fluorescence method. The dissociation constant for copper ions with AdoHcy hydrolase was determined by fluorescence quenching titration and activity titration methods using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), and glycine as competitive chelators. The experimental results showed that copper ions bind to AdoHcy hydrolase with a K(d) of approximately 10(-11) M. The association rate constant was determined to be 7 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1). The releasing of copper ions from the enzyme was found to be biphasic with a k(1) of 2.8 x 10(-3) s(-1) and k(2) of 1.7x10(-5) s(-1). It is suggested that copper ions do not bind to the substrate binding sites because the addition of adenine substrate did not compete with the binding of copper to AdoHcy hydrolase. Interestingly, it was observed that EDTA could bind to AdoHcy hydrolase with a dissociation constant of K(1) = 8.0 x 10(-5) M and result in an increased affinity (K(d) = approximately 10(-17) M) of binding of copper ions to the enzyme.     

Characterization of a novel toxin-antitoxin module, VapBC, encoded by Leptospira interrogans chromosome

Comparative genomic analysis of the coding sequences (CDSs) of Leptospira interrogans revealed a pair of closely linked genes homologous to the vapBC loci of many other bacteria with respect to both deduced amino acid sequencesand operon organizations. Expression of single vapC gene in Escherichia coli resulted in inhibition of bacterial growth,whereas co-expression of vapBC restored the growth effectively. This phenotype is typical for three other character-ized toxin-antitoxin systems of bacteria, i.e., mazEF[1], reIBE[2] and chplK[3]. The VapC proteins of bacteria and a thermophilic archeae, Solfolobus tokodaii, form a structurally distinguished group of toxin different from the other known toxins of bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis of both toxins and antitoxins of all categories indicated that althought oxins were evolved from divergent sources and may or may not follow their speciation paths (as indicated by their 16s RNA seouences）, co-evolution with their antitoxins was obvious.
