~(60)CO-γ射线诱发的德国蜚蠊精母细胞中心体畸变

德国蜚蠊经不同剂量的~(60)Co-γ射线照射,以光镜和电镜观察精母细胞巨大中心体结构和数目的变化,发现:γ射线可诱发各种类型中心体畸变,如棒状、断裂、不分离、超数和微小中心体等;畸变率随剂量增加而升高;畸变类型和辐射剂量有密切关系,低剂量(500—1000r)诱发较多的棒状中心体和中心体断裂、中等剂量(2000r)诱发较多的超数中心体和中心体不分离、高剂量(5000r)诱发较多的微小中心体,看来低剂量γ射线主要影响中心体结构,高剂量则对中心体的生长发育有明显的阻滞作用。本文还讨论了中心体畸变的可能产生机制及在遗传毒理研究中应用的前景。     

Direct micro-sequence analysis of peptides from Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins S11, L9 and L29 after separation by reversed phase chromatography

Tryptic peptides of the ribosomal proteins S11, L9 and L29 were separated by reversed phase chromatography under conditions which enabled direct micro-sequencing with the 4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene-4'-isothiocyanate/phenylisothiocyanate double coupling method [Chang, Brauer, Wittmann-Liebold (1978) FEBS Lett. 93, 205-214]. The peptides were separated on a RP-18 column employing volatile buffers at pH 2.0, 4.1 and 7.8. Depending on the different chromatographic behaviour of the peptide mixture, the elution gradient was optimised for each hydrolysate using 20 micrograms of the hydrolysed protein. Preparative separations were made with 150-250 micrograms. At least 80% of the peptides could be isolated by these techniques and used for direct micro-sequencing without further purification or desalting. The results show that the high-performance liquid chromatographic method employed allows easy isolation and sequencing with minute amounts of peptides.     

Purification of Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal proteins by high performance liquid chromatography

High performance liquid chromatography was applied to the separation of proteins derived from the Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunit. Several methods of separating this protein mixture has been tested: size-exclusion chromatography on hydrophilic phases; ion exchange and reversed phase chromatography (on C2 to C18 hydrocarbon-bonded supports). Various elution systems were examined in order to obtain pure proteins suitable for micro-sequence analysis. The resolution and yields of the proteins varied considerably, depending on the type of support and gradient system used. The best results were achieved with uniformly globular-shaped supports of large pore size, and by combining high performance size exclusion with rechromatography on reversed phase columns. Purification conditions for the individual proteins are listed. The methods employed avoid any precipitation step and allow easy identification of the proteins by one or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, amino-acid analysis or direct manual or automatic micro-sequencing. Since the isolation time is much reduced compared with conventional purification procedures, the proteins obtained by the techniques described here are well suited for topographical and immunological studies or reconstitution assays. Ribosomal proteins of other organisms can be separated under similar conditions.     

Conversion of sterigmatocystin to aflatoxin B 1 by Aspergillus parasiticus

¹⁴C-Sterigmatocystin isolated from cultures of $\text{Aspergillus}$$\text{versicolor}$ supplemented with (1-¹⁴C)acetate was shown to be efficiently converted to aflatoxin B₁ by the resting mycelium of $\text{A. parasiticus}$. The experimental results may indicate a biosynthetic pathway leading from 5-hydroxysterigmatocystin to sterigmatocystin and then to aflatoxin B₁.     

牛生长激素结构不均一性的研究

本文报导用常规方法分离纯化的牛生长激素,在还原性SDS-11％聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳中呈分子量很接近的两条主带(22KD,21.5KD)。用单克隆抗体和多克隆抗体亲和层析技术分析了不同分子量形式的牛生长激素的转化,结果表明:牛生长激素可能在pH5.5条件下转化为21.5KD分子,在pH8.3条件下则转化18KD分子。这几种形式的牛生长激素均保留与抗体的结合力,但亲和力不尽相同,如在亲和层析的洗脱性质上存在差异。已检验分离并部分纯化了18KD分子以备作进一步的研究。

人胃癌不同周期细胞膜表面ConA受体的分布与侧向运动

本文研究了人胃低分化粘液性腺癌细胞MGC 80-3不同周期时相中ConA受体的分布与侧向运动。MGc 80-3细胞经同步化培养,用F-ConA标记。被标记细胞中G_1、S和G_2期呈不连续的分布,但它们之间又存在显著的差异。M期呈较均匀的强荧光分布(与其它时相细胞比较)。荧光漂白恢复方法测定ConA受体复合物侧向运动表明:各个周期时相之间不仅运动方式不同,而且运动速率也有显著差异。M期与G_1期主要表现出扩散型运动;而S期与G_2期表现为流动型运动。G_1期的扩散系数大干M期的;S期的流动速率大于G_2期的。但可动分子百分比以G_2期最高。这些结果表明了ConA受体的动力学性质。它受到细胞周期的调节。
