-cyano-substituted analogoues of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine as enzyme activated, irreversible inhibitors of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase

A pair of -cyano analogues of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (2a and 2b) were synthesized as potential enzyme activated, irreversible inhibitors of the[pyruvoyl enzyme S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMet-DC). Each of these analogues acts as an irreversible inactivator for ADoMet-DC from Escherichia coli (IC₅₀ values of 9 and 50 μM, respectively). These analogues also inactivate human AdoMet-DC, with K_I values of 246.6 and 7.2 μM, and k_inact values of 0.29 and 0.03 min⁻¹, respectively.

LEP and LEPR are possibly a double-edged sword for wound healing

Wound healing is a complex and error-prone process. Wound healing in adults often leads to the formation of scars, a type of fibrotic tissue that lacks skin appendages. Hypertrophic scars and keloids can also form when the wound-healing process goes wrong. Leptin (Lep) and leptin receptors (LepRs) have recently been shown to affect multiple stages of wound healing. This effect, however, is paradoxical for scarless wound healing. On the one hand, Lep exerts pro-inflammatory and profibrotic effects; on the other hand, Lep can regulate hair follicle growth. This paper summarises the role of Lep and LepRs on cells in different stages of wound healing, briefly introduces the process of wound healing and Lep and LepRs, and examines the possibility of promoting scarless wound healing through spatiotemporal, systemic, and local regulation of Lep levels and the binding of Lep and LepRs.     

Effects of Allelochemicals on Root Growth and Pod Yield in Response to Continuous Cropping Obstacle of Peanut

Continuous cropping (CC) obstacle is a major threat in legume crops production; however, the underlying mechanisms concerning the roles allelochemicals play in CC obstacle are poorly understood. The current 2-year study was conducted to investigate the effects of different kinds and concentrations of allelochemicals, p-hydroxybenzoic acid (H), cinnamic acid (C), phthalic acid (P), and their mixtures (M) on peanut root growth and productivity in response to CC obstacle. Treatment with H, C, P, and M significantly decreased the plant height, dry weight of the leaves and stems, number of branches, and length of the lateral stem compared with control. Exogenous application of H, C, P, and M inhibited the peanut root growth as indicated by the decreased root morphological characters. The allelochemicals also induced the cell membrane oxidation even though the antioxidant enzymes activities were significantly increased in peanut roots. Meanwhile, treatment with H, C, P, and M reduced the contents of total soluble sugar and total soluble protein. Analysis of ATPase activity, nitrate reductase activity, and root system activity revealed that the inhibition effects of allelochemicals on peanut roots might be due to the decrease in activities of ATPase and NR, and the inhibition of root system. Consequently, allelochemicals significantly decreased the pod yield of peanut compared with control. Our results demonstrate that allelochemicals play a dominant role in CC obstacle-induced peanut growth inhibition and yield reduction through damaging the root antioxidant system, unbalancing the osmolytes accumulation, and decreasing the activities of root-related enzymes.

光和暗条件下低温对黄瓜和水稻叶绿素蛋白质复合体的影响

本试验以黄瓜和水稻幼苗为材料,研究了光照和黑暗条件下低温对植物叶绿素蛋白质复合体的影响。SDS—PAGE电泳结果表明:5℃及12h 280μmol m~(-2)S~(-1)处理2d,Chl-蛋白质复合体的降解明显大于5℃暗低温处理;低温与光照对P700-CPa_1的影响大于LHCP。叶绿素荧光测定表明;5℃及12h 280μmol m~(-2)s~(-1)的处理对PSⅡ的影响亦大于暗低温处理。由此认为:低温与光对植物叶绿体的PSⅠ和PSⅡ都有明显的影响,其机理可能与常温下高光强引起的光抑制相类似;不同的是低温下中等光强就能引起光抑制。因此,在光照低温下往往加剧植物冷害的发生。
