St14/TaqⅠRFLPs在甲型血友病基因探测与产前基因诊断中的应用

<正> 甲型血友病是最常见的遗传性凝血疾病,是由于凝血因子Ⅷ(FVⅢ)基因缺陷所致。目前对此病尚无满意的治疗方法。利用DNA分析技术进行甲型血友病基因检测与产前基因诊断对开展优生优育有重要的实际应用价值。由于FⅧ基因组织结构庞大,分子病理改变复杂,目前多采用DNA限制酶片段长度多态性(RFLPs)为遗传标志对有缺陷的FⅧ基因进行连锁分析。St 14(DXS52)是人X染色体长臂远端的一段基因外DNA序列,与FⅧ基因紧密连锁。国外已将St14/Taq Ⅰ RFLPs用于甲型血友病基因携带者的检测,但尚未见到用于产前基因诊断的报道。我们利用引进的St14片段为探针,采用简化的低脂奶粉杂交体系和DNA凝胶原     

光敏亲和标记试剂8-N_3-5′-ATP的合成

<正> 近年来,光敏亲和标记技术已被广泛应用于激素及共受体,蛋白和核酸的相互作用、酶的结构与功能、膜蛋白结构、tRNA同共合成酶的识别等研究上,鉴于ATP是某些酶的底物,因此合成光敏的ATP底物类似物将有助于国内对达些酶的结构与功能进行深入研究,为此我们合成了8-N_8-5′-ATP,现将实验结果报道如下:     

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。     

小麦原胚对外源大分子与不透膜物质的摄入

为检验小麦原胚基端特定位点上的外连丝型胞间连丝和开放孔道在摄取外源物质上的作用,以不透膜的阳离子铁蛋白(cationized ferritin)和萤黄(lucifer yellow CH )为示踪物,对其吸入与传布动态进行了荧光与电子显微镜观察。结果表明,这两种物质确可以以非跨膜运输的方式沿着原胚基端的特定通道进入原胚细胞。     

Catalytic properties of X-prolyl dipeptidyl aminopeptidase from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris nTR.

An X-prolyl dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (X-PDAP; EC 3.4.14.5) was identified to be loosely bound on the inner cell membrane fraction of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris nTR. The biosynthesis of X-PDAP was continuously increased before the late-log growth phase of the bacteria. Both Gly-Pro-pNA and Ala-Ala-pNA were hydrolyzed by X-PDAP; the kcat/Km value of the former was about 10-fold that of the latter. The Ki of X-Pro and Pro-X were more specific to X-PDAP than those of X-Ala. The enzyme splitting a dipeptide sequentially from beta-casomorphin as a model catalytic pattern was identified and some properties of the enzyme were further characterized.     

The reconciliation behavior of golden monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellanae roxellanae) in small breeding groups

Observations were made following 130 spontaneous aggressive incidents in two small breeding groups of captive golden monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellanae roxellanae). Participants were observed both during the first 10 min following these incidents and during matched control observations. An increased contact rate was observed between opponents following the aggressive incident. Post-conflict contacts were characterized by a number of behavior patterns: open mouth, rapid grooming, embrace, and crouching. Adult males played an important role as mediator in agonistic disputes among females: males intervened in 93.6% of female fights. It is speculated that this intervention behavior is related to the species' organization into one-male units.     

Changes in pulmonary Cu−Zn contents in superior mesenteric artery occlusion shock of rabbit

Contents of Cu and Zn of into-pulmonary blood (IPB), out-pulmonary blood (OPB), Lung tissue, and supernatant and macrophages of Lung Lavage were determined in superior mesenteric artery occlusion (SMAO) shock of rabbits. Zn of pulmonary tissue was 11.42 +/- 0.60 and 14.52 +/- 1.78 (micrograms/g wet wt) in SMAO shock and control groups, respectively. Content of Zn was found to be lower, Cu was not changed, and Cu/Zn ratio increased in lung tissue in SMAO shock. Contents of Cu and Zn in other samples were not changed. The results suggest that lower Zn in lung tissue related to acute lung injury.     

山西永济白草坪组具刺疑源类的发现及其地质意义

该文着重报道了山西永济白草坪组(一般认为系中元古界上部相当于蓟县系的层位),以具刺疑源类为主的微化石群,计有4类6属15种,其中包括1新属,4新种,1新组合,1亲近种,2未定种,新属是具细网状纹饰的复杂具刺疑源类Shuiyousphaeridium Yan gen.nov.,4新种是Shuiyousphaeridium membraniferum Yan sp.nov.,Dictyosphaera incrassate Yan sp.nov.,Foliomorpha stipuliferaYan sp.nov.,Manicosiphoninema shuiyouense Yan sp.nov.。本微化石群以球形疑源类为主体,以具刺疑源类的大量发育为特征,并伴生有推测是绿藻和褐藻的化石,其组合面貌与蓟县上前寒武系各组皆有明显区别,具有更高的进化程度,从生物地层标志推测白草坪组所在的汝阳群应归入震旦系。白草坪组具刺疑源类可能是横裂甲藻的原始分子,它在地层对比和藻类进化方面皆具有重要意义。
