Ⅱ类组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDACs)包括HDAC4、5、7和9,它们能够发生磷酸化作用和介导核质转位。HDACs在肝、脂肪组织中的糖脂代谢中发挥作用,可加重胰岛素抵抗程度和糖尿病进展。Ⅱ类HDACs抑制剂目前已成为研究热点,旨在抑制酶活性,改善代谢和胰岛素敏感性。     

Effects of acid stress on polyamine levels,ion efflux,protective enzymes and macromolecular synthesis in cereal leaves

Wheat or oat leaf segments were floated on acid solutions and the changes in several parameters measured. The putrescine content of wheat leaves was 12.8-fold greater at pH 3.5 than at pH 6 after 72 h. The increase in putrescine was accompanied by an increase in the amount of K⁺ efflux from the leaf tissue to the external solution. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase of wheat leaves at pH 3.5 decreased to 51% and 40%, respectively, of their levels at pH 6 by 24 h. [³H]Uridine and [³H]leucine incorporation into macromolecules in oat leaves (with the lower epidermis removed) decreased to 58% and 28% of the control in response to acid stress in 8 h, at the same time as a 5-fold increase in putrescine. When DL--difluoro-methyarginine was added to the pH 3.5 buffered solution, the effect of acid was slightly less, with the incorporation into macromolecules being 64% and 35% of the pH 6 control. The results indicated that the putrescine accumulation under acid stress was concomitant with ion efflux, and a decrease in both macromolecular synthesis and the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in cereal leaves.Abbreviations Put putrescine - Spd spermidine - Spm spermine - SOD superoxide dismutase - CAT catalase - ADC arginine decarboxylase - DFMA DL--difluoromethylarginine This paper is dedicated to Dr. A.W. Galston in honor for his great achievements and in recognition of his continuing contributions to the study of plant science.     

产氢细菌Enterbacter sakazakii HP的分离及产氢特性

在自然环境中分离到一株具有高产氢活性的微生物菌株,经细菌鉴定仪及16S rRNA基因序列分析,鉴定该菌株为Enterbacter sakazakii HP。分析了起始pH值、反应温度、碳源、起始糖浓度、起始氧浓度及菌体密度等因素对菌株产氢活性的影响。研究表明,该菌株发酵产氢较适合的条件为:以葡萄糖为产氢底物,起始pH值8.0,菌体密度OD600=0.7,反应温度35℃,糖浓度为0.1mol/L,氧浓度为0%的条件下,此时产氢菌株的最高产氢活性为5.34μmolH2/h.mgdw,氢的得率为1.94molH2/mol葡萄糖。     

Comparison of ultrastructural and physiological changes of potato (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Solanum tuberosum</Emphasis> L.) plantlets subjected to salt and modeling drought stresses

Salinity and drought are two severe abiotic stresses that affect plant growth and decrease food production worldwide. Compared to the field plants, test-tube plantlets could be more direct and fast to investigate the mechanism of stress adaptation. In the present study, the ultrastructural and physiological differences of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. c.v. “Longshu No. 3”) plantlets in response to the gradient saline (0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mM NaCl) and the modeling drought stresses with polyethylene glycol (PEG) at the concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 % were analyzed. The results show that the severe salt (200 mM NaCl) and the modeling drought stresses (8 % PEG) inhibited the plantlet growth. There are considerable differences in their ultrastructural alteration under salt and modeling drought adaptation: PEG caused the increase in the number of stacked chloroplast, plastoglobuli, and starch; NaCl induced the decrease in the number of chloroplast and plastoglobuli. Moreover, plantlet has higher free proline content, less malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and higher activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) under the gradient NaCl treatments than the gradient PEG treatments. The results of this study will provide theoretical and practical insights into characterizing the ultrastructural and physiological differences of plants adapting to various stressful environments.
