Selective effect of zinc compared to other divalent metals on L-triiodothyronine binding to rat c-erbA alpha and beta proteins

The effects of zinc and other divalent metals on the [125I]T3 binding to rat c-erbA alpha and beta recombinant proteins were assessed. The addition of ZnCl2 caused a reversible and dose-dependent inhibition of [125I]T3 binding to rc-erbA beta proteins with half maximum inhibition occurring at 50-100 microM, but no significant effect on [125I]T3 binding to rc-erbA alpha under the same assay conditions. Scatchard analysis revealed a decrease in [125I]T3 binding capacity to beta protein without marked change in Kd values in presence of zinc. Moreover, significant inhibitions of [125I]T3 binding to both alpha and beta proteins were observed in the presence of 100 microM of either MnCl2, CdCl2 or CuCl2, but not MgCl2. Thus, the selective effect of zinc compared to other divalent metals to inhibit T3 binding to rc-erbA beta, but not alpha, proteins was documented and suggest a possible regulatory role for zinc in modulating the intracellular action of thyroid hormone.

核桃属部分种的小孢子发生及核型研究

本试验采用常规压片法,观察了核桃属(Juglans L.)四个种花粉母细胞(PMC)的减数分裂过程和花粉形态,检测了两个种的花粉生活力,分析研究了七个种的核型。结果表明,普通核桃(J.regia)核桃楸(J.mandskurica Maxim.)和黑核桃(J.nigra L.)的PMC减数分裂基本正常,但河北核桃PMC的减数分裂过程都极不正常,供试的七个种,除普通核桃为2C核型外,其余均为2B核型,仅黑核桃一种带有随体染色体。根据核型特点把七个种分成三组,并探讨了组间与组内种间的亲缘演化关系。作者认为,河北核桃应为一种独立的种,核桃科在系统发育上可能来源于染色体基数为8的两群)不同植物。     

我国十省(市)十字花科蔬菜芜菁花叶病毒(TuMV)株系分化研究 Ⅰ.用Green氏方法划分株系

Provvidenti,R.(1980)和Green,S.K.(1985)先后用同一套鉴别寄主谱,研究了美国和我国台湾省的TuMV株系分化情况。本文用Green的方法,对由十省(市)7,982份病样中筛选出的19个TuMV主流分离物,在同一条件下进行了鉴定。结果表明,属于C_1株系的有黑_3分离物;属于C_4株系的有京_2、京_3、冀_2、宁_1(南京)、粤_1和川_1共6个分离物;属于C_5株系的有黑_1、辽_1、京_1、冀_1、沪_1、鲁_1、鲁_2共7个分离物。未检出C_2和C_3株系。黑_2、沪_2、宁_2和秦_1(陕西)共4个性状相近的分离物和冀_3分离物尚不能按Green的标准归类,暂分别定为C_(3-2)和C_6株系。此外,对Green氏方法应用于我国十字花科蔬菜TuMV株系分化研究中存在的问题作了讨论。     

海南岛河港海莲红树林凋落物动态的研究

 本文应用凋落物收集网对海南岛海莲红树群落进行连续4年(1984.1—1987.12)的凋落物动态研究。结果表明： (1)在保护良好的河港海滩上,海莲群落的年凋落物量高达1255g／m2,是热带地区凋落物量最大的群落类型之一;与世界上红树群落凋落物量相比处于较高水平。(2)4年平均凋落物各组分占总量的比例为叶64.32%、花10.63%,果21.34%、枝3.71%。 (3)月凋落物量(Y,g／m2)与月均气温(X,℃)的回归公式为 Y=5.009X–13.18(r=0.44**,df=46),相关极显著。 (4)不同年份凋落物的变化率R=1.33。

编码叶绿体QB蛋白的psbA基因在E.coli中的转录表达研究(英文)

叶绿体中的psbA是一个编码QB蛋白的光调节基因。我们用带有豌豆psbA基因和lacZ基因融合体的质粒,研究了无光诱导下在E.coli中的表达。结果表明:含有psbA及其上游166碱基的DNA片段能在黑暗中表达。同时还表明,在植物中,psbA基因启动子是潜在的有较高活性的启动子,在黑暗中不能表达可能是由于受到特定的调节机制制约。叶绿体的psbA基因与E.coli的基因上游“pribnow”盒与“-35”盒有较高的同源性。这为叶绿体与光合原核生物有共同的起源提供了证据。     

家兔早期胚胎细胞发育能力的研究

本文利用胚泡注射法制作嵌合体对家兔交配后96,120和144小时的ICM细胞的发育能力进行了研究。供体胚胎取自青紫兰灰免,受体胚胎取自新西兰白兔,结果表明96和120小时供胚的ICM细胞与96小时受胚胚泡组合后均能参与发育,形成嵌合兔,144小时者未获得嵌合体。由于120小时的ICM细胞发育的2只表型为雄性的嵌合兔,其中1只不育,其性腺和外周血核型表明不育兔为xx/xy性嵌合,性腺中有处于不同发育程度的卵巢和精细管,外周血含xx和xy两种核型。本实验结果首次证明家兔交配后120小时胚泡的ICM细胞仍具有参与嵌合体发育的能力。它不仅能参与体细胞的分化,并具有形成生殖细胞的能力。交配后144小时胚泡的ICM细胞其发育能力似乎已发生了局限。     

An env gene derived from a primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolate confers high in vivo replicative capacity to a chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency virus in rhesus monkeys.

To explore the roles played by specific human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) genes in determining the in vivo replicative capacity of AIDS viruses, we have examined the replication kinetics and virus-specific immune responses in rhesus monkeys following infection with two chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs). These viruses were composed of simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239 expressing HIV-1 env and the associated auxiliary HIV-1 genes tat, vpu, and rep. Virus replication was assessed during primary infection of rhesus monkeys by measuring plasma SIVmac p27 levels and by quantifying virus replication in lymph nodes using in situ hybridization. SHIV-HXBc2, which expresses the HIV-1 env of a T-cell-tropic, laboratory-adapted strain of HIV-1 (HXBc2), replicated well in rhesus monkey peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) in vitro but replicated only to low levels when inoculated in rhesus monkeys. In contrast, SHIV-89.6 was constructed with the HIV-1 env gene of a T-cell- and macrophage-tropic clone of a patient isolate of HIV-1 (89.6). This virus replicated to a lower level in monkey PBL in vitro but replicated to a higher degree in monkeys during primary infection. Moreover, monkeys infected with SHIV-89.6 developed an inversion in the PBL CD4/CD8 ratio coincident with the clearance of primary viremia. The differences in the in vivo consequences of infection by these two SHIVs could not be explained by differences in the immune responses elicited by these viruses, since infected animals had comparable type-specific neutralizing antibody titers, proliferative responses to recombinant HIV-1 gp120, and virus-specific cytolytic effector T-cell responses. With the demonstration that a chimeric SHIV can replicate to high levels during primary infection in rhesus monkeys, this model can now be used to define genetic determinants of HIV-1 pathogenicity.
