Regulated, stable expression and nuclear presence of retrovirus double-stranded RNA-binding protein sigma3 in HeLa cells.

Reovirus genome segment S4 codes for polypeptide sigma3, a major outer capsid component of virions and a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding protein implicated in viral cytopathogenesis. We have constructed a stable HeLa cell line (S4tTA) that produces functional sigma3 under tetracycline transactivator control. In the absence of tetracycline, S4tTA cells synthesized stable dsRNA-binding sigma3 that accumulated in the nucleus as well as in the cytoplasm. However, in induced S4tTA cells also expressing reovirus outer shell polypeptide mu1/mu1C, migration of sigma3 into the nucleus was blocked, probably as a result of formation of a complex with mu1/mu1C which was exclusively in the cytoplasm. Mutant analyses indicated a correlation between dsRNA-binding activity and nuclear entry of sigma3, suggesting an additional role(s) for this capsid protein in virus-cell interactions.     

表皮生长因子对培养的气道上皮细胞抗臭氧损伤的保护作用

本研究观察到臭氧（Ｏ３）对体外培养经３Ｈ－ＵｄＲ标记的免气道上皮细胞有明显细胞毒性作用,且损伤程度与Ｏ３作用时间呈正相关。Ｏ３暴露组细胞内丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）产生增多（Ｐ＜０．０１）,提示Ｏ３损伤细胞的机制与胞膜脂质过氧化有关。表皮生长因子（ＥＧＦ）可明显降低Ｏ３所致的３Ｈ释放率（Ｐ＜０．０１）、降低Ｏ３的细胞毒指数及细胞内ＭＤＡ含量（Ｐ＜０．０１）,证明ＥＧＦ对气道上皮细胞有保护作用。进一步还观察到浓度为５ｎｇ／ｍｌ的ＥＯＦ可以取消Ｏ３所引起的细胞内还原型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）含量降低（Ｐ＜０．０１）,并增加细胞内谷胱甘肽总含量（Ｐ＜０．０５）,但不能改变Ｏ３所致的氧化型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＳＧ）含量的增加（Ｐ＞０．０５）,对ＧＳＨ／ＧＳＳＧ比值也无明显提高,这些都提示ＥＧＦ的细胞保护机理可能与其促进细胞内谷胱甘肽合成有关,而对ＧＳＳＧ转化为ＧＳＨ的还原过程影响不明显。     

柑桔果实中柠檬苦素类化合物的研究现状与展望

柠檬苦素类似物（ｌｉｍｏｎｏｉｄ）是三萜类的植物次生代谢产物,主要存在于芸香科和楝科植物中。柠檬苦素（ｌｉｍｏｎｉｎ）及其类似物存在于柑桔属（Ｃｉｔｒｕｓ）的多种植物中。至今已从柑桔属植物中分离出３６种柠檬苦素类似物及１７种柠檬苦素类似物配糖体。柑桔中苦味原因之一为柠檬苦素类似物。作为其代表具有强烈苦味的柠檬苦素和诺米林如果在柑桔果汁中含量超过６ｍｇ／Ｌ,那么这种柑桔用于饮食业已不适合［１］。近年来,笔者对柑桔果实中的柠檬苦素类似物的生理变化及生物合成作过系统研究［１～９］,并提出将柠檬苦素类似…

Stable carbon isotopes as indicators of increased water use efficiency and productivity in white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) seedlings

The relationship among water use efficiency (WUE), productivity and carbon isotopic composition (δ¹³C) in white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) seedlings was investigated. Sixteen hundred seedlings representing 10 controlled crosses were planted in the field in individual buried sand-filled cylinders. The soil water content in the cylinders was measured using time domain reflectometry over two growing seasons and seedling water use determined by water balance. Two watering treatments were imposed: irrigation and dry land. There was significant (1.6–2.0%c) genetic variation in needle δ¹³C. Ranking of crosses in terms of δ¹³C was generally maintained over watering treatments and there was not a significant genetic versus environmental interaction. There was a positive correlation between δ¹³C and both intrinsic and long-term WUE (more positive δ¹³C with increased WUE) and between δ¹³C and productivity, suggesting a correlation due to variation in photosynthetic capacity. Root to shoot ratios did not increase in water-stressed plants, indicating that responses to drought were primarily at the level of gas exchange, rather than through morphological changes. Our results indicate that it should be possible to use δ¹³C as a surrogate for WUE and to select white spruce genotypes for high WUE without compromising yield.
