DNA拓扑异构酶Ⅰ生物学活性的比较研究

测定了3T3细胞、人和大鼠一些组织中DNA拓扑异构酶Ⅰ的活性;估计了核酸内切酶对拓扑酶Ⅰ松弛活性测定的干扰程度;发现增殖组织全细胞抽提液中酶比活高于正常分化组织,而且在异常增殖组织中酶比活的增高更为显著。     

猴脑线粒体DNA提取及限制性内切酶分析

本文用冷碱法从2只恒河猴和1只食蟹猴的脑组织中提取mtDNA,最后的得率大约为0.7μgmtDNA/g脑组织,是肝脏组织得率的1/3左右。与肝脏组织相比较,从脑组织中提取mtDNA有以下优点:1.匀浆方便。2.样品中蛋白杂质少,容易彻底抽提去除蛋白质。3.大分子RNA杂质极少,不经Sepharose-4B柱或RNawe处理,就可得到较纯的样品。加之哺乳动物脑的体积较大,哺乳动物脑组织不失为提取mtDNA的一个有用的组织来源。经16种限制性内切酶分析,并与来自同一个体肝脏组织的mtDNA比较,结果进一步证实,mtDNA无组织特异性。对12岁以上老年猴脑mtDNA的分析表明,在衰老中,动物mtDNA的序列可能没有变化,甲基化程度也无显著增高。     

热应激时大鼠肺组织中β—肾上腺素受体的变化与膜磷...

To explore the relationship between the change of beta-adrenoceptor and the metabolism of phospholipids in lung tissue from acute heat stressed rats, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptors, the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), the content of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS), and membrane fluidity in lung tissue of normal and heat stressed rats were investigated. The relevant parameter values mentioned above were 479 +/- 94 fmol/mg protein, 78.5 +/- 8.2 U, 53.5 +/- 1.7 mg/g.wet. w. and 425.1 +/- 68.1 micrograms/g.wet. w. respectively. Whereas in the heat stressed rats with rectal temperature raised to 42 degrees C for 15 min, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptor was decreased by 43% (P less than 0.01), the activity of PLA2 increased by 83% (P less than 0.01), the contents of PC and PS decreased by 50% and 47% (P less than 0.01) respectively. A lower membrane fluidity in lung tissue for heat stressed rats was also demonstrated. The results suggest that the decreased binding sites of beta-adrenoceptor in lung tissue of rat during hyperthermia may be contributed to the activation of PLA2, which then accelerated the catabolism of phospholipids such as PC and PS in the cell plasma membrane, with a consequent alteration of membrane fluidity.     

新型人白细胞介素－2突变点的分析鉴定

对新型人白细胞介素-2(IL－2－ser－125)进行了精制和纯度指标的鉴定。蛋白质N端序列分析表明产品中l／3部分N端缺失Met,这种微观不均一性在等电聚焦和毛细管电泳中有所反映。此外,对新型人IL－2的含点突变残基的多肽进行氨基酸序列分析,证实确由Cys－125突变成ser。

琼脂糖凝胶直接杂交法

DNA印迹(Southern blot)杂交法是研究DNA分子结构,变异及其组成的一种分子生物学技术。自1975年闻世以来,在分子生物学,遗传学及分子病毒学等研究领域得到广泛应用,对这些学科的发展起了重要作用。由于该技术均需要首先将电泳后已变性的DNA从琼脂糖凝胶转移至支持膜上,因此,实验结果的好坏很大程度取决于吸印的效果,同时也受支持物
