九连小蘖悬浮培养细胞生理生化研究 Ⅰ.细胞生长与培养液的电导率和过氧化物酶活性的变化

本文报道了九连小蘖细胞悬浮培养过程中,细胞生长与培养液的电导率、pH值、可溶性糖含量及过氨化物酶活性的变化。实验表明细胞生长曲线与培养液的电导率、可溶性糖含量变化的曲线恰成镜像关系。而细胞生长曲线与培养液的过氨化物酶活性变化的曲线相互平行。从而,可以通过监测培养液的电导率和过氧化物酶活性的变化来了解细胞生长状况,并可作为植物细胞培养过程中生物量增长的参考指标。     

D10S20, a previously unmapped RFLP (OS-3), is located on 10q near D10S4

The locus recognized by the probe OS-3 is assigned to chromosome 10 both by Southern blot analysis of a panel of somatic cell hybrid DNAs and by genetic linkage to markers already assigned to chromosome 10. In Caucasians this probe recognizes a three-allele TaqI RFLP as well as two-allele BanII and RsaI RFLPs which are both in strong linkage disequilibrium with each other and with the TaqI RFLP. The D10S20 locus defined by this probe maps 5.5 cM distal to D10S4 on the long arm of chromosome 10. Because this human clone hybridizes with mouse genomic DNA, it will be useful in comparative mapping studies.     

Genotyping and sequence analysis of apolipoprotein E isoforms

Apolipoprotein E (apoE), a polymorphic plasma protein, is essential for catabolism of lipoproteins by receptor-mediated endocytosis. One of the apoE isoforms (E2) differs in its binding affinity to specific receptors and contributes to variations in lipoprotein metabolism. Diagnosis of apoE isoforms is done by isoelectric focusing, but it is hindered by various degrees of post-translational sialylation of the apoE protein. Electrophoretically silent structural variations may also escape detection by this technique. We describe a method for genotyping apoE based on hybridization of allele-specific oligonucleotides with enzymatically amplified genomic DNA, which permits unambiguous diagnosis of six common apoE phenotypes within 24 h. Among 100 E2 alleles present in 81 unrelated individuals genotyped by this technique, we found two rare structural mutants of apoE in addition to the common E2 form, E2(158Arg----Cys). Automated sequencing of amplified DNA identified the rare mutants as E2(136Arg----Ser) and E2(145Arg----Cys). The genotypic method may complement or even replace isoelectric focusing for routine determination of apoE phenotypes and for identification of rare structural variants.     

Genetic linkage between lipoprotein(a) phenotype and a DNA polymorphism in the plasminogen gene

Coronary heart disease risk correlates directly with plasma concentrations of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), a low-density lipoprotein-like particle distinguished by the presence of the glycoprotein apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)), which is bound to apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) by disulfide bridges. Size isoforms of apo(a) are inherited as Mendelian codominant traits and are associated with variations in the plasma concentration of lipoprotein(a). Plasminogen and apo(a) show striking protein sequence homology, and their genes both map to chromosome 6q26-27. In a large family with early coronary heart disease and high plasma concentrations of Lp(a), we found tight linkage between apo(a) size isoforms and a DNA polymorphism in the plasminogen gene; plasma concentrations of Lp(a) also appeared to be related to genetic variation at the apo(a) locus. We found free recombination between the same phenotype and alleles of the apoB DNA polymorphism. This suggests that apo(a) size isoforms and plasma lipoprotein(a) concentrations are each determined by genetic variation at the apo(a) locus.     

棉花生长发育模拟模型的研究

本文是根据1984—1985年大田资料建立的一个棉花生长发育模型。模型利用光能辐射,叶面积指数,植株干重等来计算净光合产物,并在各器官之间进行分配。利用生理学时间来预测主茎节数,根据顶芽、腋芽分化的同步序列,来确定果枝数、果节数。单铃重随其生理时间而呈逻辑斯谛克曲线分布: BW=8.2842/(1+e5.2701-0.0073×PT) 并定出蕾铃潜在增长率,根据潜在增长率求出每米~2土地上蕾铃干物质需求量,从营养供求状况来控制雷铃脱落。 根据模型预测,可确定棉花不同生育时期最佳栽培措施;与棉虫动态模型偶联,可研究棉虫动态经济阈值。     

植物激素对草莓叶片不定芽形成的影响

用试管内生长的草莓幼嫩叶片作外植体,培养在MS基本培养基上附加1.5—2.5毫克/升6—BA和0.1毫克/升NAA,可直接诱导成不定芽,诱导率可达20%。如果不定芽继代培养在同样浓度的培养基上,继而可形成大量的丛生芽。能使叶外植体形成不定芽的植物激素组合而不能使其愈伤组织分化成芽。IAA与6—BA的不同浓度组合对不定芽形成效果不明显。     

中国兔猴的单一物种及其两性差别

观察到以前描述的中国兔猴不同种的特征在禄丰的全部中国兔猴标本中交叉地存在、并通过连续的中间表现型而衔接,本文建议石灰坝中国兔猴是厚齿中国兔候的同种异名,因而前一名称应予取消。以犬齿和下第四前臼齿为材料研究了中国兔猴的两性差别。本文使用双变量分布确定两性重叠分布的测量性状的性别差异取得较好的效果。     

不同型别的基因工程干扰素抗病毒活性的比较

对大肠杆菌生产的不同型别的基因工程干扰素rIFN-α1(α1)、rIFN-αA(αA)、rIFN-β17ser(β17ser)和rIFN-γ(γ),以及自然人白细胞干扰素nIFN-αco,在不同细胞上对不同病毒的抗病毒活性做了比较研究。证明:①α1抗病毒作用的细胞谱较广,尤其在牛肾MDBK细胞和猪肾PK细胞上有很高的活性,分别为在人细胞上的29倍和7倍。β17ser和γ在异种细胞上活性极低,在鼠、猪和牛肾细胞上的活性为人细胞上的1～2％以下。②5种干扰素对麻疹、CoxB1、Sindbis、腺病毒7型和Ⅰ、Ⅱ型单纯疱疹病毒的抗病毒活性无明显差异。但不同病毒对干扰素的敏感性有明显差别,以Sindbis病毒为最敏感,7型腺病毒最不敏感。③5种干扰素对流行性出血热病毒均有明显的抗病毒作用,尤以人α1型和β干扰素作用最强,α1对出血热病毒的抗病毒活性是对滤泡性口膜炎病毒(VSV)的1/2.85,人β干扰素是对VSV的1/4.1。上述结果为人基因工程干扰素的临床应用提供了实验依据。     

小鼠腹水型肝癌H22a细胞浆内磷蛋白磷酸酶活力调节的研究

小鼠腹水型肝癌细胞胞浆内磷蛋白磷酸酶对磷酸化的组蛋白、酪蛋白、鱼精蛋白具有脱磷酸化活力,而对小分子底物P-Ser、P-Thr、P-Tyr、PNPP等无活力。二价金属离子Mn~(2+)、Co~(2+)、Mg~(2+)对酶有明显激活作用,而Zn~(2+)、F~-、Pi对酶有明显抑制作用。代谢中间物G-6-P、G-1-P、F-6-P、F-1.6-2P、ATP、ADP、GTP对酶有抑制作用,而磷酸化氨基酸和环核苷酸对酶活影响很小。还试验了碱性蛋白质和酸性蛋白质对酶活力的影响,肝素和组蛋白均对酶活力有抑制作用,当两者混和后,其抑制作用会相互抵消。
