Swelling and Ca2+-activated Anion Conductances in C127 Epithelial Cells Expressing WT and ΔF508-CFTR

CFTR is a chloride channel that is required for fluid secretion and salt absorption in many exocrine epithelia. Mutations in CFTR cause cystic fibrosis. CFTR expression influences some ion channels, but the range of channels influenced, the mechanism of the interaction and the significance for cystic fibrosis are not known. Possible interactions between CFTR and other ion channels were studied in C127 mouse mammary epithelial cell lines stably transfected with CFTR, ΔF508-CFTR, or vector. Cell lines were compared quantitatively using an ¹²⁵I efflux assay and qualitatively using whole-cell patch-clamp recording. As expected, ¹²⁵I efflux was significantly increased by forskolin only in the CFTR line, and forskolin-stimulated whole-cell currents were time- and voltage independent. All three lines responded to hypotonic challenge with large ¹²⁵I efflux responses of equivalent magnitude, and whole-cell currents were outwardly rectified and inactivated at positive voltages. Unexpectedly, basal ¹²⁵I efflux was significantly smaller in the ΔF508-CFTR cell line than in either the CFTR or control cell lines (P < 0.0001), and the magnitude of the efflux response to ionomycin was largest in the vector cell line and smallest in the cell line expressing ΔF508-CFTR (P < 0.01). Whole-cell responses to ionomycin had a linear instantaneous I-V relation and activated at depolarizing voltages. Forskolin responses showed simple summation with responses to ionomycin or hypotonic challenge. Thus, we found no evidence for interactions between CFTR and the channels responsible for swelling-mediated responses. Differences were found in basal and ionomycin-stimulated efflux, but these may arise from variations in the clonally selected cell lines that are unrelated to CFTR expression.

蓝藻藻胆体与类囊体膜之间光能传递的研究

从嗜热蓝藻优雅粘囊藻（Ｍｙｘｏｓａｒｃｉｎａ ｃｏｎｃｉｎｎａ Ｐｒｉｎｔｚ．）中分离到具有放氧活性的藻胆体－类囊体膜复合物。它的吸收峰位于６８０、６２８、４９０、４３８和４２０ ｎｍ ,在低离子强度（０．１～０．４ ｍ ｏｌ／Ｌ）磷酸缓冲液中的６６４ ｎｍ 荧光发射峰随离子强度的降低而升高,７１８ ｎｍ 荧光发射峰与此相反（７７ 。Ｋ,Ｅｘ＝ ５８０ ｎｍ ）。当把游离的藻胆体和已解离去藻胆体的类囊体膜在蔗糖磷酸缓冲液中重组时,随时间延长（０～６０ ｍ ｉｎ）,７１８ ｎｍ 荧光发射峰逐渐升高,６８５ ｎｍ 荧光发射峰逐渐下降（７７ 。Ｋ,Ｅｘ ＝ ５８０ ｎｍ ）,表明藻胆体与类囊体之间的解离和结合对光能传递的影响     

生物复苏——大绝灭后生物演化历史的第一幕

生命史是一部生物界短期,快速剧变与长期,慢速稳定相互交替的历史。大绝灭（即集群绝灭）事件反映了全球环境的大突变,点断了地质历史中的生命记录及其发展历程,预示着生物界的演化出现了最有意义的飞跃,近年来尝试研究大绝灭后全球生物界的残存－复苏及其基本型式,并探索复苏的控制因素,标志着地质科学中一个重心的转移（即从大绝灭转向其后的生物残存与复苏的研究）。生物复苏揭示了大绝灭后生物演化历史的第一幕,其研究的
