<正> 近年来,光敏亲和标记技术已被广泛应用于激素及共受体,蛋白和核酸的相互作用、酶的结构与功能、膜蛋白结构、tRNA同共合成酶的识别等研究上,鉴于ATP是某些酶的底物,因此合成光敏的ATP底物类似物将有助于国内对达些酶的结构与功能进行深入研究,为此我们合成了8-N_8-5′-ATP,现将实验结果报道如下:     

具有谷氨酸脱羧酶的大肠杆菌固定化细胞

本文研究了用海藻酸钙包埋法制备含谷氨酸脱羧酶固定化细胞的方法以及研究了制备的条件和影响其制备的因素。该法具有包埋细胞活力回收高,方法简便等优点。比较研究了固定化细胞和自然细胞谷氨酸脱羧酶的一些生物化学性质。其中固定化细胞最适pH和pH稳定性增加,最适温度及热稳定性下降;表观米氏常数增大;二价金属离子Zn~(++)、Cu~(++)、Mg~(++)、Fe~(++),Sr~(++)程度不同的抑制酶活性,Ca~(++)激活固定化细胞酶活性,EDTA无抑制作用。对固定化细胞和自然细胞酶活力活化的研究中发现这两种细胞经蒸馏水保温处理后酶活性都上升,且自然细胞酶活的上升较固定化细胞大;而用底物溶液处理后,自然细胞无变化,固定化细胞酶活下降。     

中药大黄的生物化学研究——蒽醌衍生物对线粒体NADH氧化酶和琥珀酸氧化酶的抑制作用

 实验结果表明:(1)大黄素对线粒体NADH氧化酶和琥珀酸氧化酶有很强的抑制作用,其作用随药物浓度的增大而增强,并呈双曲线型,50％抑制浓度分别为2.5μg/ml和11.5μg/ml。而其它四种蒽醌衍生物如大黄酸、芦荟大黄素、大黄素甲醚和大黄酚对这两种氧化酶的抑制作用不明显,药物浓度为60μg/ml,抑制率均低于20％。(2)拮抗实验表明:核黄素、牛血清蛋白(BSA)能拮抗大黄素对线粒体NADH氧化酶的抑制作用。核黄素(3.3×10~(-4)mol/L)和BSA(1.6mg/ml)对大黄素抑制NADH氧化酶的恢复率分别为50.3％和44.6％,且恢复率随拮抗剂浓度的增加而增加。     

微量元素对虫草蝠蛾幼虫生长发育的影响

按月采样,分析测定虫草蝠蛾幼虫体微量元素的组成。应用Q模式系统聚类方法,分析了幼虫受环境影响引起的元素代谢变化。结果表明虫体所含元素与环境温度的变化及自身的生理活动密切相关。5、10月份幼虫组的元素含量相近,前者正当幼虫结束休眠后恢复活动的时期,后者是幼虫处于准备进入越冬的前期,两组幼虫此时均处于取食高峰期。3、4月份组的亦较接近,幼虫正渐恢复活动但不取食。8月份幼虫蜕皮前后,消耗较大,需摄取大量食物。计算结果表明7、9月份的元素含量接近,这与上述现象有一定联系;应用对应因子分析法得到的结果是:元素Fe、P对10、11月份幼虫组的贡献值显著;Na、Ca、Mg对8、9月份的贡献值显著;Cu、Zn、Co、Cd、Si对4、5月份的贡献值显著。

A CD44-like endothelial cell transmembrane glycoprotein (GP116) interacts with extracellular matrix and ankyrin.

We used complementary biochemical and immunological techniques to establish that an endothelial cell transmembrane glycoprotein, GP116, is a CD44-like molecule and binds directly both to extracellular matrix components (e.g., hyaluronic acid) and to ankyrin. The specific characteristics of GP116 are as follows: (i) GP116 can be surface labeled with Na 125I and contains a wheat germ agglutinin-binding site(s), indicating that it has an extracellular domain; (ii) GP116 displays immunological cross-reactivity with a panel of CD44 antibodies, shares some peptide similarity with CD44, and has a similar 52-kDa precursor molecule, indicating that it is a CD44-like molecule; (iii) GP116 displays specific hyaluronic acid-binding properties, indicating that it is a hyaluronic acid receptor; (iv) GP116 can be phosphorylated by endogenous protein kinase C activated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and by exogenously added protein kinase C; and (v) GP116 and a 20-kDa tryptic polypeptide fragment of GP116 from the intracellular domain are capable of binding the membrane-cytoskeleton linker molecule, ankyrin. Furthermore, phosphorylation of GP116 by protein kinase C significantly enhances GP116 binding to ankyrin. Together, these findings strongly suggest that phosphorylation of the transmembrane glycoprotein GP116 (a CD44-like molecule) by protein kinase C is required for effective GP116-ankyrin interaction during endothelial cell adhesion events.     

Effects of exercise training and diabetes on cardiac myosin heavy chain composition

This study determined whether the beneficial effects of exercise training on the diabetic heart previously observed are associated with alterations in ventricular myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform composition. Diabetes was induced in rats by i.v. streptozotocin. Trained rats were run on a treadmill for 60 min/day, 27 m/min, 10% grade. After 10 wks, ventricular MHC isoenzyme protein composition was analyzed for MHC composition using gel electrophoresis. -MHC and -MHC mRNA were determined by Northern and slot blot hybridization techniques. Both protein and mRNA analyses indicated that sedentary control rats exhibited a predominance of -MHC. Sedentary diabetics exhibited a shift to -MHC. Exercise trained diabetic rats showed a predominance of -MHC. The results indicate that treadmill exercise training of diabetic rat does not prevent the diabetes-induced shift in MHC composition towards the -MHC isoform, thus it is unlikely that the beneficial effects of exercise training on the diabetic heart, previously shown, are due to a normalization of the myosin isoform composition.
