中国连香树科的系统研究——Ⅰ.叶的宏观结构及叶柄维管束变化

本文研究了连香树科(Cercidiphyllaceae)叶的宏观结构,首次报道连香树齿腺体显微结构及晶体类型,并对叶柄维管束的变化作了进一步研究。通过与近缘科的比较,我们认为连香树科的系统演化处于孤立地位,和金缕梅科有较近的亲缘关系,与木兰科较为疏远。     

长期低浓度SO2对大豆生长和产量的影响

随着化石燃料消耗量不断增加,由此产生的主要大气污染物之一SO_2的浓度和影响范围也日趋增大。SO_2对植物,特别是对农作物的影响已受到普遍重视。本研究选择我国北方种植面积大、分布广的大豆为供试作物,在野外开顶式熏气装置中进行低浓度SO_2长期暴露试验,观察SO_2对大豆生长发育及产量的影响,以期为制订农田大气环境质量标准提供有一定参考价值的生态学基准。     

粉纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒诱导的胸苷激酶特性研究

粉纹夜蛾(Trichoplusia ni)核型多角体病毒(TnNPV)感染草地贪夜蛾(Spodop-tera frugiperda)细胞后能诱导提高胸苷激酶的活性。不论是正常或感染细胞中的胸苷激酶都可将脱氧胞苷磷酸化,酶活最适pH及Mg~( )离子浓度值基本相同,DEAE-纤维素和Cibacron blue-sepharose柱层析所得酶活性图谱亦相似。TnNPV在胸苷激酶缺陷型的草地贪夜蛾细胞中能正常复制,但被感染细胞不具有胸苷激酶活性。由此可以确定,经TnNPV感染诱导后,活性有所提高的胸苷激酶不是病毒基因编码的。     

含甲肝病毒基因的重组痘苗病毒在动物体内产生针对甲肝病毒的中和抗体

用DNA重组技术得到的含甲肝病毒基因的重组痘苗病毒,可在家兔体内产生ELISA竞争抑制与中和抗体。基础免疫后,动物体内竞争抑制抗体滴度为10,加强免疫后达到80。由重组病毒产生的抗体中和指数比甲肝病毒产生者略低。

Separate functional domains of the herpes simplex virus type 1 protease: evidence for cleavage inside capsids.

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) protease (Pra) and related proteins are involved in the assembly of viral capsids and virion maturation. Pra is a serine protease, and the active-site residue has been mapped to amino acid (aa) 129 (Ser). This 635-aa protease, encoded by the UL26 gene, is autoproteolytically processed at two sites, the release (R) site between amino acid residues 247 and 248 and the maturation (M) site between residues 610 and 611. When the protease cleaves itself at both sites, it releases Nb, the catalytic domain (N0), and the C-terminal 25 aa. ICP35, a substrate of the HSV-1 protease, is the product of the UL26.5 gene. As it is translated from a Met codon within the UL26 gene, ICP35 cd are identical to the C-terminal 329-aa sequence of the protease and are trans cleaved at an identical C-terminal site to generate ICP35 e,f and a 25-aa peptide. Only fully processed Pra (N0 and Nb) and ICP35 (ICP35 e,f) are present in B capsids, which are believed to be precursors of mature virions. Using an R-site mutant A247S virus, we have recently shown that this mutant protease retains enzymatic activity but fails to support viral growth, suggesting that the release of N0 is required for viral replication. Here we report that another mutant protease, with an amino acid substitution (Ser to Cys) at the active site, can complement the A247S mutant but not a protease deletion mutant. Cell lines expressing the active-site mutant protease were isolated and shown to complement the A247S mutant at the levels of capsid assembly, DNA packaging, and viral growth. Therefore, the complementation between the R-site mutant and the active-site mutant reconstituted wild-type Pra function. One feature of this intragenic complementation is that following sedimentation of infected-cell lysates on sucrose gradients, both N-terminally unprocessed and processed proteases were isolated from the fractions where normal B capsids sediment, suggesting that proteolytic processing occurs inside capsids. Our results demonstrate that the HSV-1 protease has distinct functional domains and some of these functions can complement in trans.     

大豆子叶内酸性磷酸酶活性的超微结构定位

开花后３５～５０ ｄ 期间和萌发早期（播种后４～８ ｄ）的大豆（Ｇｌｙｃｉｎｅｍ ａｘ Ｌ．）种子中,酸性磷酸酶主要分布在子叶细胞中的蛋白体内;在内质网内也检测到酸性磷酸酶活性。此外,在萌发早期的部分子叶细胞的质膜外侧及其细胞壁基质中可见密集的酸性磷酸酶活性;而且在近质膜的胞质中常见到一些富含磷酸铅沉淀的胞质小泡,似与质膜融合
