On the mechanism of activation of protein kinase FA (an activating factor of ATP·Mg-dependent protein phosphatase) in brain myelin

Protein kinase F_A (an activating factor of ATP·Mg-dependent protein phosphatase) has been characterized to exist in two forms in the purified brain myelin. One form of kinase F_A is spontaneously active and trypsin-labile, whereas the other form of kinase F_A is inactive and trypsin-resistant, suggesting a different membrane topography with active F_A exposed on the outer face of the myelin membrane and inactivu F_Q buried within the myelin membrane. When myelin was solubilized in 1% Triton X-100, all kinase F_A became active and trypsin-labile. Phospholipid reconstitution studies further indicated that when kinase F_A was reconstituted in acidic phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine, the enzyme activity was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that kinase F_A interacts with acidic phospholipids which inhibit its activity. Furthermore, when myelin was incubated with exogenous phospholipase C, the inactive/trypsin-resistant F_A could be converted to the active/trypsin-labile F_A in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Taken together, it is concluded that membrane phospholipids play an important role in modulating the activity of kinase F_A in the brain myelin. It is suggested that phospholipase C may mediate the activation-sequestration of inactive/trypsin-resistant kinase F_A in the brain myelin through the phospholipase C-katalyzed degradation of acidic membrane phospholipids. The activation-sequestration of protein Kinase F_A may represent one mode of control modulating the activity of kinase F_A in the central nervous system myelin.

内源植物激素与光敏核不育水稻农垦58S育性的关系

采用气相色谱－质谱联用选择离子检测（ＧＣ－ＭＳ－ＳＩＭ）技术,定性、定量分析了光敏核不育水稻农垦５８Ｓ（Ｏｒｙｚａ ｓａｔｉｖａ Ｌ． ｓｕｂｓｐ． ｊａｐｏｎｉｃａ）及对照品种“农垦５８”在长（ＬＤ）、短（ＳＤ）日照处理下,不同发育时期顶端全展叶片中内源ＩＡＡ、ＡＢＡ 和生殖器官中内源ＩＡＡ、ＡＢＡ、ＧＡ１、ＧＡ４ 的含量变化。实验结果表明：在ＬＤ 处理下,农垦５８Ｓ雌雄蕊形成期的叶片和花粉母细胞形成期的幼穗中ＩＡＡ 相继发生亏缺;农垦５８Ｓ－ＬＤ花粉母细胞形成期、单核期和扬花期,生殖器官中内源ＡＢＡ 均低于农垦５８Ｓ－ＳＤ 的含量,“农垦５８”则与此相反;扬花期不育花药中内源ＧＡ１ 和ＧＡ４ 含量剧减。据此认为：生殖器官中早期ＩＡＡ 的亏损、ＡＢＡ 含量剧减伴随着抗逆性能的减弱及ＧＡＳ的不足共同导致了农垦５８Ｓ的雄性败育

促葡萄糖转运蛋白基因家族的分子进化研究

葡萄糖转运蛋白是一个在结构上相似功能上不同的多基因家族（ＧＬＵＴ１－ＧＬＵＴ５）。由于这一组蛋白和体内的葡萄糖利用有关,因此被认为是糖尿病胰岛素抵抗（抗性）的一个候选基因。本文比较了不同种生物这一基因家族的氨基酸和核苷酸顺序;推测了亲水性和疏水性分布;计算了蛋白质和核苷酸的进化距离,并在此基础上构建了分子进化树。研究表明：这一基因家族具有高度的同源性、极为相似的亲水性和疏水性分布以及结构的对称性。提示这一基因家族起源于一个共同的祖先并可能通过基因的重复而形成。这一进化机制可能有利于氨基酸结构的稳定及抵抗突变的作用。由于邻元法构建的进化树其分支长度存在差异,提示在这一基因家族的进化过程中,各分支上的进化速率并不相同。蛋白质进化距离和核苷酸进化距离所构建进化树的差异提示了在基因组中可能存在隐匿替换。两种方法构建的进化树都提示了ＧＬＵＴ１、３、４在结构和功能上要更为保守。

Capsid assembly and involved function analysis of twelve core protein mutants of duck hepatitis B virus.

The roles of different regions of the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) core protein on viral capsid assembly and related functions were examined. Twelve deletion and insertion mutations which covered 80% of the DHBV C open reading frame were constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. The N-terminal region (amino acids 3 to 66) of DHBV core protein was important for its tertiary structure and function in E. coli. The expressed core mutants without this region apparently inhibited E. coli growth. The results of transmission electron microscopy of E. coli thin sections, capsid agarose gel, and sucrose gradient sedimentation demonstrated that a few DHBV core mutants with insertion in the N terminus and deletion in the C terminus retained the ability to form core-like particles in E. coli. However, other mutations in most of N-terminal and central regions strongly inhibited the self-assembly ability of DHBV core protein in E. coli. In addition, the mutant with a C-terminal region deletion (amino acids 181 to 228) lost most of the nucleic acid-binding activity of the DHBV core protein.     

Deletion mapping of the rotavirus metalloprotein NS53 (NSP1): the conserved cysteine-rich region is essential for virus-specific RNA binding.

NS53 (NSP1), the gene 5 product of the group A rotaviruses, is a minor nonstructural protein of 486 to 495 amino acids which binds zinc and contains an amino-terminal highly conserved cysteine-rich region that may form one or two zinc fingers. To study the structure-function of the gene 5 product, wild-type and mutant forms of NS53 were produced by using a recombinant baculovirus expression system and a recombinant vaccinia virus/T7 (vTF7-3) expression system. Analysis of the RNA-binding activity of the wild-type NS53 immobilized onto protein A-Sepharose beads with NS53-specific antiserum showed that the protein exhibited specific affinity for all 11 rotavirus mRNAs. The use of short virus-specific RNA probes indicated that NS53 specifically recognizes an element located near the 5' ends of viral mRNAs. Analysis of the RNA-binding activity of deletion mutants of NS53 showed that the RNA-binding domain resides within the first 81 amino acids of the protein and that the highly conserved cysteine-rich region within this region of the protein is essential for the activity. Gel electrophoresis and Western immunoblot analyses of intracellular fractions derived from infected cells revealed that large amounts of NS53 were present in the cytosol and in association with the cytoskeletal matrix. Indirect immunofluorescence analysis of cells programmed to transiently express mutant forms of NS53 using vTF7-3 indicated that the intracellular localization domain resides between amino acids 84 and 176 of NS53. Together, these data show that the RNA-binding domain and the intracellular localization domain lie upstream from the region of NS53 previously determined not to be essential for replication of rotaviruses in cell culture (J. Hua and J. T. Patton, Virology 198:567-576, 1994).
