ADP核糖基化因子的结构及其功能机制

ADP核糖基化因子(ADP-ribosylation factor,ARF)是Ras基因超家族的成员,它们是大小约20kDa的鸟嘌呤核苷酸结合蛋白。ARF最初发现作为霍乱毒素ADP-核糖转移酶的辅助因子共同作用于G蛋白α亚基,促使其ADP-核糖基化。近来人们发现ARF还参与囊泡运输、调节磷脂酶D的活性,在细胞内物质运输和信号转导过程中具有更加重要的生理功能。现就ARF的发现、分类、结构和功能、表达以及生理功能作一综述。

小型猪与梅山猪Prop1基因的比较分析

Prop1是一种新发现的参与早期胚胎垂体发育的特异性转录因子。在人和动物均已发现由于该基因突变而引起的综合性垂体功能障碍,进而影响生长和繁殖。小型猪与梅山猪比较,其繁殖力和生长性能差异显著,为了了解这些差异的遗传基础,本试验对五指山猪、藏猪和版纳猪三种小型猪的Prop1基因进行克隆测序,并与已知梅山猪的序列进行对比,结果为:五指山猪与藏猪外显子1第69位发生G-A碱基替换,编码同义氨基酸;藏猪外显子2第115位发生A-G碱基替换,编码终止密码子;藏猪与版纳猪外显子3第466位和第631位均发生C-T碱基替换,第466位藏猪编码同义氨基酸;第631位版纳猪编码丝氨酸(TCC),梅山猪编码脯氨酸(CCC),即两种猪的Prop1基因产物不同。在Prop1基因终止密码下游250左右有一个腺苷酸丰富区,五指山猪与藏猪有15个腺苷酸串联,版纳猪有12个。上述结果为进一步研究大猪和小型猪之间生产性能差异的遗传基础提供了新线索。

fMLP诱导的中性粒细胞胞内游离钙离子浓度变化与细胞极性化过程

目的：观察不同浓度的fMLP诱导中性粒细胞的极性变化,并结合胞内游离钙离子浓度（[Ca^2＋]i）变化曲线分析不同时相细胞的极性化变化,探讨二者之间的关系。方法：使用激光共聚焦显微镜对胞内[Ca^2＋]．变化进行监测,细胞极性化情况通过倒置显微镜来分析。结果：胞内[Ca^2＋]i变化主要包括静息期（0s）、快速上升期（10s）、快速下降期（150s）、慢速下降期（250s）和终末期等5个阶段,在这5个阶段的10s时细胞膜开始皱缩,启动细胞极性化过程,之后呈现为不断的极性化和去极性化过程。结论：游离钙离子浓度升高可能启动了中性粒细胞的极性化,但对之后的极性化过程影响不明显。     

PROP1与联合垂体激素缺乏症

垂体特异性转录因子祖先蛋白(PROP l),是成对同源转录因子,在垂体腺中呈特异性表达,参与早期胚胎垂体的发育,因此,PROP1基因对于垂体前叶的发育是必需的。PROP1启动胚胎期垂体特异性转录因子(PIT-1)的起始表达并维持个体出生后的持续表达,且可直接促使PIT-1细胞系的前体分化为促性腺细胞系。其基因突变可使人、鼠患有联合垂体激素缺乏症(CPHD),表现为生长激素(GH)、促乳素(PRL)、促甲状腺素(TSH)以及促黄体激素(LH)、促卵泡激素(FSH)或促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)缺乏,垂体核磁共振成像显示垂体萎缩。在其它哺乳动物中PROP1突变也会引起垂体和性腺激素异常。就PROP1基因的结构与功能,以及与CPHD间的关系作一综述。

桂西北典型喀斯特区生态服务价值的环境响应及其空间尺度特征

Study on ecosystem service values (ESVs) is the bridge of understanding ecosystem and economic decision-making. To investigate the response of ESVs to ambient environment and their spatial scales is an urgent work in the process of ecological restoration and sustainable development in southwest China. Based on the previous research results, the remote images, and weather data of 31 years (1975-2005), the response of ESVs to ambient environment and their spatial scales in a typical karst area of northwest Guangxi, China were evaluated with the method of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in this paper. The results showed that ESVs had obvious variations with changes in elevation, rocky types and soil types, and had corresponding characteristics of spatial scales. The ESVs in middle and low elevation areas were higher, but they decreased due to human activities such as deforestation. The ESVs in peak-cluster depression areas were lower, and they would increase as influenced by policies such as returning farmland to forestland. The ESVs were influenced by rocky types, showing lower values but an increasing trend in the typical karst regions while higher values but a decreasing trend in non-karst regions. The average ESVs in the west part of the study region, which is not only the main nature reserve for rare wildlife species in Guangxi, but also one of the best preserved natural vegetation regions in China, were more than 15,000 RMB Yuan ha-1,. Comparatively, the ESVs were less than 10,000 Yuan ha-1 in the middle part of the region attributed to low vegetation coverage, serious peak-cluster depression and karst rocky desertification. After about 20 years, that is from 1985 to 2005, the ecosystem conditions had been improved and the ESVs had increased in the middle and eastern part of this study region. On the contrary, in most western part, which was dominated by subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, they had been worsened, and the balance values of ESVs were negative. As for the relationships of ESVs with rocky types and soil types, lime soil and red soil were the two main soil types that contributed to ESVs (The total contribution was above 60%, and it is 63.77%,64.37%,64.56%,64.91% respectively in the four years of 1985, 1990, 2000 and 2005.). The variance contribution of intrinsic mode function (IMF) and trend (R) showed that there were obvious special sales for ESVs in this study area, and the main spatial scales were about 2.7 km, 5.5 km, and 11.6 km. The variance contribution ratio was 12.29%, 11.26%, 11.49% respectively, and the trend (R) was high (17.74%). In conclusion, this study indicated that ecosystem conditions in the typical karst area were improved owing to the application of rocky desertification control policies, such as ecological migration and returning farmland to forestland. Besides, the main spatial scales of ESVs in the study area were the interactions of terrain, physiognomy, land use / land cover and human activities.
