Modified nucleotides in Bacillus subtilis tRNA(Trp) hyperexpressed in Escherichia coli.

In the present study, modified nucleotides in the B. subtilis tRNA(Trp) cloned and hyperexpressed in E. coli have been identified by TLC and HPLC analyses. The modification patterns of the two isoacceptors of cloned B. subtilis tRNA(Trp) have been compared with those of native tRNA(Trp) from B. subtilis and from E. coli. The modifications of the A73 mutant of B. subtilis tRNA(Trp), which is inactive toward its cognate TrpRS, were also investigated. The results indicate the formation of the modified nucleotides S4U8, Gm18, D20, Cm32, i6A/ms2i6A37, T54 and psi 55 on cloned B. subtilis tRNA(Trp). This modification pattern resembles the pattern of E. coli tRNA(Trp), except that m7G is missing from the cloned tRNA(Trp), probably on account of its short extra loop. In contrast, the pattern departs substantially from that of native B. subtilis tRNA(Trp). Therefore, the cloned B. subtilis tRNA(Trp) has taken on largely the modification pattern of E. coli tRNA(Trp) despite the 26% sequence difference between the two species of tRNA, gaining in particular the Cm32 and Gm18 modifications from the E. coli host. A notable difference between the isoacceptors of the cloned tRNA(Trp) was seen in the extent of modification of A37, which occurred as either the hypomodified i6A or the hypermodified ms2i6A form. Surprisingly, base substitution of guanosine by adenosine at position 73 of the cloned tRNA(Trp) has led to the abolition of the 2'-O-methylation modification of the remote G18 residue.

蜗牛酶对原生质体游离的影响

用10科11种双子叶植物的营养器官,在含1mg/L 2,4—D的MS固体培养基上诱导形成愈伤组织。取其生长旺盛的区域进行原生质体游离,并采用未经处理的相应植物的新鲜叶或茎作对照。研究结果表明,蜗牛酶对愈伤组织的原生质体游离具有明显的促进作用,而对照却无此效应。还研究了两种植物愈伤组织的继代天数和不同的酶组合对原生质体游离的影响。

岭南垛基果林湿地土壤碳组分特征

岭南垛基果林湿地是珠三角地区典型的湿地类型之一,其对土壤碳汇的贡献值得关注。为探讨果林种植类型对土壤有机碳的影响,对广州垛基果林湿地内种植黄皮(Clausenalansium)(HP),龙眼(Dimocarpuslongan)(LY)、杨桃(Averrhoa carambola)(YT),龙眼和黄皮间种(LH),杨桃、龙眼和黄皮间种(YLH)共5种种植类型下的表层(0～20 cm)土壤碳组分进行研究。结果表明,不同的植被类型对土壤的总有机碳(SOC)、可溶性有机碳(DOC)、微生物生物量碳(MBC)、易氧化有机碳(ROC)、惰性碳(NLC)含量都有影响,LY的SOC含量最高(22.6 g/kg),显著高于YLH (P<0.05),且NLC含量显著高于LH和YLH (P<0.05)。NLC含量与土壤养分呈正相关,与土壤容重呈负相关。YT的MBC含量显著高于LY、HP、LH (P<0.05),且MBC/SOC显著高于HP、LY(P<0.05)。YLH模式下,土壤DOC含量和DOC/SOC显著高于其他植被类型(P<0.05)。LH的ROC/SOC显著高于HP和L...     

四川缙云山森林群落林窗边缘效应的研究

 本文运用Shannon—Wiener物种多样性指数、Simpson生态优势度指标以及边缘效应强度指数,对缙云山亚热带森林群落林窗的边缘效应现象进行了初步研究。29个林窗样地不同部位上述指标的测定表明用物种多样性指数拟合边缘效应测度通式,缙云山亚热带森林群落林窗的边缘效应强度值为1—3左右;而用生态优势度值拟合边缘效应强度测式,则上述边缘效应强度值为0.1一1.2左右。研究表明林窗边缘区由于边缘效应的作用有增大物种多样性的趋势。而林窗面积、所处坡向以及林窗所在的森林群落类型,都对处于不同发育阶段的林窗的边缘效应强度具有影响。在此基础上,本文对林窗边缘效应强度的变化规律、效应性质、测定意义以及对森林营造和优化管理上的作用进行了一定探讨。     

Blockage of MDM2-mediated p53 ubiquitination by yuanhuacine restrains the carcinogenesis of prostate carcinoma cells by suppressing LncRNA LINC00665

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a challenging issue for men's health worldwide due to its uncontrolled proliferation and high metastatic potential. Increasing evidence has supported plant extracts and natural plant derivatives as promising antitumor therapy with less toxic side effects. Yuanhuacine is an active component isolated from Daphne genkwa and can effectively suppress the tumorigenesis of several cancers. However, its role in PCa remains unclear. In this study, yuanhuacine dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis of PCa cells. Moreover, yuanhuacine also restrained the invasion and migration of PCa cells. Mechanically, yuanhuacine decreased the ubiquitination and degradation of p53 protein, and ultimately increased p53 levels, which was regulated by inhibiting the phosphorylation and total protein levels of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2). Moreover, elevation of MDM2 reversed the suppressive efficacy of yuanhuacine in PCa cell viability, invasion, and migration. The network pharmacologic and bioinformatics analysis confirmed that MDM2 might be a common target of D. genkwa and LINC00665. Furthermore, yuanhuacine inhibited LINC00665 expression. Upregulation of LINC00665 reversed yuanhuacine-mediated inhibition in MDM2 protein expression and suppressed p53 levels by enhancing its ubiquitination in yuanhuacine-treated cells. Importantly, the inhibitory effects of yuanhuacine on cell viability and metastatic potential were offset after LINC00665 elevation. Together, the current findings highlight that yuanhuacine may possess tumor-suppressive efficacy by inhibiting LINC00665-mediated MDM2/p53 ubiquitination signaling. Therefore, this study indicates that yuanhuacine may be a promising candidate for the treatment of PCa.
