云南姬鼠的蛋白多态性及其遗传分化关系

本文采用蛋白电泳技术对来源于云南省若干地区的姬鼠属（Ａｐｏｄｅｍｕｓ）的３种姬鼠──高山姬鼠（Ａ．ｃｈｅｖｒｉｅｒｉ）８只,中华姬鼠（Ａ．ｄｒａｃｏ）３只和大耳姬鼠（Ａ．ｌａｔｒｏｎｕｍ）１只,以及作为外群的同科的绒鼠属的大绒鼠（Ｈａｐａｌｏｍｙｓｄｅｌａｌｏｒｉ）３只进行了分析。共检测遗传座位２７个,发现２１个座位存在多态性。根据蛋白多态的数据对研究对象进行遗传分化关系的探讨,用系统分析软件ＰＨＹＬＩＰ计算它们之间的分化关系,得到了一棵无根系统树。结果表明,作为外群的大绒鼠明显不同于其它３种姬鼠而聚在最外面。８只高山姬鼠个体汇聚成独立的一支,中华姬鼠的３个个体也聚成一支,但大耳姬鼠却聚在中华姬鼠一支中,因此我们认为大耳姬鼠同中华姬鼠的分化时间可能比较晚近。

Isolation and expression in Escherichia coli of hepB and hepC, genes coding for the glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzymes heparinase II and heparinase III, respectively, from Flavobacterium heparinum.

Upon induction with heparin, Flavobacterium heparinum synthesizes and secretes into its periplasmic space heparinase I (EC 4.2.2.7), heparinase II, and heparinase III (heparitinase; EC 4.2.2.8). Heparinase I degrades heparin, and heparinase II degrades both heparin and heparan sulfate, while heparinase III degrades heparan sulfate predominantly. We isolated the genes encoding heparinases II and III (designated hepB and hepC, respectively). These genes are not contiguous with each other or with the heparinase I gene (designated hepA). hepB and hepC were found to contain open reading frames of 2,316 and 1,980 bp, respectively. Enzymatic removal of pyroglutamate groups permitted sequence analysis of the amino termini of both mature proteins. It was determined that the mature forms of heparinases II and III contain 746 and 635 amino acids, respectively, and have calculated molecular weights of 84,545 and 73,135, respectively. The preproteins have signal sequences consisting of 26 and 25 amino acids. Truncated hepB and hepC genes were used to produce active, mature heparinases II and III in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli. When these enzymes were expressed at 37 degrees C, most of each recombinant enzyme was insoluble, and most of the heparinase III protein was degraded. When the two enzymes were expressed at 25 degrees C, they were both present predominantly in a soluble, active form.     

Genetic and clonal diversity in Korean populations ofVitex rotundifolia (Verbenaceae)

Vitex rotundifolia L.f. is a woody perennial and has sexual and asexual modes of reproduction. Allozyme study was conducted on 550 plants in 13 Korean populations. The levels of genetic variability and divergence within and among populations, respectively, are considerably lower and higher than the mean values for woody plants with similar life history tralts. Mean percentage of polymorphic loci (P _P), mean number of alleles per locus (A _P), and mean genetic diversity (He _P) within populations ofV. rotundifolia were: 16.7%, 1.21, and 0.047. On average, about 79% of the total variation inV. rotundifolia was common to all populations (meanG _ST=0.208). In addition, significant differences in allele frequencies among populations were found in all polymorphic loci examined (P<0.001). On the other hand, levels of genotypic diversity within and among populations were moderate. About 44% (18/41) of multilocus genotypes were “local genotypes” (genotypes occurring in only one population), whereas only one “widespread genotype” (genotypes occurring in more than 75% of the populations) were detected. The mean number of multilocus genotypes per population (G) and mean genotypic diversity index (D _G) were 8.4 and 0.74, respectively. Most common multilocus genotypes found in populations were homozygous for five polymorphic loci. The abundance of ramets of these genets is responsible for the low levels of expected heterozygosity within populations. The results indicate that clonal reproduction may act as an enhancer of genetic drift by reducing effective size of local populations ofV. rotundifolia.     

人胎胸腺细胞的异质性荧光及其与T淋巴细胞分化阶段关系的形态学研究

以７６９０－Ｘｕ荧光染色法结合ＷｕＴ３、ＷｕＴ４、ＷｕＴ８致敏红细胞花环实验观察经胸腺细胞分层液分离所得高密度亚群和低密度亚群人胎胸腺细胞的异质性荧光及其膜分化抗原ＣＤ３、ＣＤ４、ＣＤ８的表达。结果表明：不同胎龄胎儿胸腺细胞悬液呈现相似形态和相似分布特征的８种异质性荧光的细胞,其中,墨黑核细胞和桔红核细胞分布于两密度亚群,表型为ＣＤ３－ＣＤ４－ＣＤ８－;少数深蓝核和蓝核细胞分布于低密度亚群．表型为ＣＤ３＋,属成熟的胸腺细胞;大多数深蓝核和蓝核细胞、灰蓝核细胞、灰黄核细胞及部分淡桔黄核细胞分布于高密度亚群,表型为ＣＤ３－、ＣＤ４＋、ＣＤ８＋,为处于中间发育阶段的胸腺细胞。推测这些细胞胞核由深蓝、蓝、灰蓝、灰黄到淡桔黄的荧光光谱的偏移可能与中间发育阶段所发生的生物及理化变化有关。

以融合蛋白形式在大肠杆菌中表达人MCP－1

将编码人单核细胞趋化蛋白－１（ＭＣＰ－１）的基因亚克隆到大肠杆菌表达载体ｐＥＸ３１Ａ中,在大肠杆菌中表达出ＭＳ２／ＭＣＰ－１融合蛋０白,该表达产物约占菌体总蛋白的１５％左右,Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎｂｌｏｔ检测表明,表达产物可与ＭＣＰ－１抗体特异反应。采用琼脂糖平板法进行活性测定表明,表达产物具有明显的单核细胞趋化活性,说明Ｎ端融合一段细菌蛋白对ＭＣＰ－１有无趋化活性可能没有影响。
