宽窄行栽植模式下三倍体毛白杨根系分布特征及其与根系吸水的关系

采用剖面法对宽窄行栽植模式下三倍体毛白杨(triploid Populus tomentosa)的根系分布特征进行了研究;采用管式TDR系统对土壤剖面含水率变化动态进行了连续观测,并据此计算林木根系吸水速率,以探讨土壤含水率、根系分布和根系吸水分布之间的相关关系。研究结果表明:毛白杨的总平均根长密度在林带两侧和不同径向距离处非常接近(P>0.05);但在不同土层间变化很大(P<0.01),其中0-20和60-150 cm土层为根系主要分布区域,其根系所占比例共达86%;不同径阶间的根长密度差异显著(P<0.01),且其比例关系会随空间位置的改变而发生变化。不同栽植方位下,林带东侧毛白杨根系分布的浅层化程度高于西侧,且在径向240-280 cm内其0-0.5 mm的极细根显著多于西侧(P<0.05)。因此,宽窄行栽植模式下,深度和径阶是毛白杨根系分布的主要影响因子,而栽植方位会对其形态构型产生影响。毛白杨根系吸水模式受细根分布的影响,但会随土壤剖面水分有效性分布的变化而变化:当表土层水分有效性增加时,根系吸水主要集中在表土层;当表土层水分有效性降低时,深层土壤根系的吸水贡献率会逐渐增加;当土壤剖面水分条件异质性较高时,根系吸水主要集中在根系密度与水分有效性均较高的区域;当土壤剖面水分分布均匀且不存在水分胁迫时,根系吸水分布与细根分布最为一致。     

Inhibitory properties of 2-substituent-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide derivatives against enteroviruses

A series of novel benzimidazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their activities against four kinds of enteroviruses, that is, Coxsackie virus A16, B3, B6 and Enterovirus 71 in VERO cells. Strong activities against enterovirus replication and low cytotoxicities were observed in these benzimidazoles generally. The most promising compound was (l)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)pentan-3-yl)-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide (16), with a high antiviral potency (IC(50)=1.76 μg/mL) and a remarkable selectivity index (328). These compounds were selected for further evaluation as novel enterovirus inhibitors.     

The human TTAGGG repeat factors 1 and 2 bind to a subset of interstitial telomeric sequences and satellite repeats

The study of the proteins that bind to telomeric DNA in mammals has provided a deep understanding of the mechanisms involved in chromosome-end protection. However, very little is known on the binding of these proteins to nontelomeric DNA sequences. The TTAGGG DNA repeat proteins 1 and 2 (TRF1 and TRF2) bind to mammalian telomeres as part of the shelterin complex and are essential for maintaining chromosome end stability. In this study, we combined chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing to map at high sensitivity and resolution the human chromosomal sites to which TRF1 and TRF2 bind. While most of the identified sequences correspond to telomeric regions, we showed that these two proteins also bind to extratelomeric sites. The vast majority of these extratelomeric sites contains interstitial telomeric sequences (or ITSs). However, we also identified non-ITS sites, which correspond to centromeric and pericentromeric satellite DNA. Interestingly, the TRF-binding sites are often located in the proximity of genes or within introns. We propose that TRF1 and TRF2 couple the functional state of telomeres to the long-range organization of chromosomes and gene regulation networks by binding to extratelomeric sequences.     

Proteostasis regulation at the endoplasmic reticulum: a new perturbation site for targeted cancer therapy

To deal with the constant challenge of protein misfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), eukaryotic cells have evolved an ER protein quality control (ERQC) mechanism that is integrated with an adaptive stress response. The ERQC pathway is comprised of factors residing in the ER lumen that function in the identification and retention of aberrantly folded proteins, factors in the ER membrane for retrotranslocation of misfolded polypeptides, and enzymes in the cytosol that degrade retrotranslocated proteins. The integrated stress response (termed ER stress or unfolded protein response, UPR) contains several signaling branches elicited from the ER membrane, which fine-tune the rate of protein synthesis and entry into the ER to match the ER folding capacity. The fitness of the cell, particularly those bearing a high secretory burden, is critically dependent on functional integrity of the ER, which in turn relies on these stress-attenuating mechanisms to maintain protein homeostasis, or proteostasis. Aberrant proteostasis can trigger cellular apoptosis, making these adaptive stress response systems attractive targets for perturbation in treatment of cell malignancies. Here, we review our current understanding of how the cell preserves ER proteostasis and discuss how we may harness the mechanistic information on this process to develop new cancer therapeutics.
