固定化酶的微环境效应—载体离子基团性质的影响

作者合成了阴离子型和阳离子型葡聚糖,以此为载体,用CNBr活化其剩余羟基,固定化了葡萄糖淀粉酶和葡萄糖异构酶。就离子型载体对固定化酶的蛋白载量、最适pH和热稳定性等的影响做了考察。发现固定化酶的蛋白载量不仅与载体的电性质有关,也与酶分子自身的电性质有关。当载体电性质与酶蛋白电性质相反时,固定化酶的蛋白载量增加,热稳定性提高、载体电性质与酶蛋白电性质相同时,固定化酶的蛋白载量不变或下降,其热稳定性不变。作者还发现当离子型载体孔度和体系缓冲液浓度一定时,酶分子能否进入多孔性载体内部,对其最适pH是否变化影响极大。若酶分子仅被连接在载体的外表层,其最适pH不发生变化,反之亦然。作者还观察到当多糖类载体引入氨基或羧基后,大大增强了其抵抗微生物侵蚀的能力。     

根分泌物及其生态效应

根分泌物是个古老而年轻的研究领域。早在18,19世纪,人们(Plenk,1795;Decandolle,1830)就观察到根分泌物对邻近植株的促生和抑制作用,1904年Hilter提出“根际”的概念,标志着人们对根分泌物及其生态效应的进一步认识。此后人们对根分泌物研究逐步展开。Lyon和Willson(1920)发现,生长于无菌水培液中的植物能释放有机物,为深入研究奠定了基础。但很长一段时间这个研究领域一

外周损伤引起成年大鼠体感皮层的功能重组

为了了解外周神经损伤对体感皮层分域组构的影响,在成年大鼠上观察了切断坐骨神经(SC)前、即刻和切断后数周内后爪皮层代表区的改变。在盐酸氯胺酮麻醉下,用微电极记录后爪皮肤轻触刺激在对侧体感皮层工区诱发的多单位反应,得出后爪的皮层代表区图。在16例中,8例大鼠观察了切断SC的即时效应。结果表明,不但SC代表区丧失皮肤反应性,原隐神经(SA)代表区的皮肤反应性也明显下降或消失,同时神经元自发活动也明显减弱。另8例大鼠在切断后数周内做了1～3次重复测定。在最初几天,原SA代表区范围内多数记录点的皮肤反应性仍未恢复,但在原SC代表区内,一些记录点转而对SA皮肤轻触刺激起反应。在随后数周内SA代表区进行性地扩张,占领了大部分原SC代表区。这一结果说明成年大鼠外周神经损伤可导致体感皮层发生显著的重组改变。     

Kinetic measurements of fusion of phosphatidylserine-containing vesicles by electron microscopy and fluorometry

Large unilamellar vesicles (REV) containing phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine at a ratio of 1:3 were induced to fuse by adding calcium (4 mM). The kinetics of fusion was monitored by fluorometry using terbium or dipicolinic acid-containing vesicles. The morphology and the states of vesicle aggregation and fusion were examined at approx. 2, 30, 60, 150 and 900 s after calcium addition, by rapid quenching and freeze-fracture electron microscopy. The size and the state of aggregation of vesicles are quantitated from 4000 randomly selected vesicles. The aggregation and fusion kinetics as assayed by fluorescence volume mixing is very well simulated and predicted by the mass action model. The model essentially predicts the time course of the distribution of the aggregates and the increase in size of fused particles as measured by electron microscopy, although in some cases the predicted fusion rate exceeds that by morphometric measurement. No morphological features can be defined as fusion intermediates, although bead-like and rim-like materials may be attributed to the remnants of broken diaphragms between fusion partners.

Action of polyethylene glycol on the fusion of human erythrocyte membranes

Summary Factors affecting the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced membrane fusion were examined. Human erythrocyte membrane ghosts, cytoskeleton-free vesicles budded from erythrocytes, mechanically disrupted erythrocyte vesicles, and recombinant vesicles from glycophorin and egg phosphatidylcholine were used as models. Fusion was monitored by darkfield light microscopy and by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. Osmotic swelling was found necessary for fusion between membrane ghosts following PEG treatment. The sample with the highest fusion percentage was sealed ghosts incubated in hypotonic media after at least 5 min of treatment in <25% PEG. At similar osmolarity, glycerol, dextran and PEG produced progressively more pronounced intramembranous particle (IMP) patching, correlating with their increasing fusion percentages. The patching of IMP preceded cell-cell contact, and occurred without direct PEG-protein interaction. The presence of cytoskeletal elements in small vesicles had no significant effect on fusion, nor on the aggregation of intramembranous particle (IMP) upon PEG treatment. Disrupting the membrane by lysolecithin, dimethylsulfoxide, retinol or mild sonication resulted in the fragmentation of ghosts without an increase in fusion percentage. The purity of the commercial PEG used had no apparent effect on fusion. We concluded that the key steps in PEG-induced fusion of cell membrane are the creation of IMP-free zones, and the osmotic swelling of cells after the formation of bilayer contacts during the PEG treatment. Cell cytoskeleton affects PEG-induced fusion only to the extent of affecting IMP patching.
