棉铃虫病毒HaSNPV fp25k基因的克隆表达及抗体制备

根据棉铃虫单核衣壳核多角体病毒(Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus,HaSNPV)fp25k基因的序列。设计引物,引入适当的酶切位点,利用PCR扩增出基因片段。将该基因片段克隆至原核表达载体pProEXHTb,经IFTG诱导,在大肠杆菌DH5α获得了高效表达,表达产物的大小为32kDa。纯化蛋白产物免疫家兔制备抗血清。该抗血清可与原核表达的GST-FP25K融合蛋白及在感染的昆虫细胞中表达的FP25K蛋白发生特异性免疫反应。该抗体的获得为深入研究FP25K蛋白的功能提供了基础。     

蝙蝠携带病毒的研究进展

蝙蝠物种丰富,分布广泛,有很强的飞行能力,其中一些蝙蝠种类还有迁飞的习性,与人类接触密切。迄今为止,已在蝙蝠体内分离到80多种病毒,其中一些是多种重大人兽共患疾病的传染源,给人类公共健康和蝙蝠生物保护带来威胁。近年来,一些新病毒病的暴发,老病毒病的重返都与蝙蝠有关,如1994年澳大利亚爆发的亨德拉病毒(Hendravirus),1997年澳大利亚爆发的梅南高病毒(Menangle virus)TM,1998年马来西亚爆发的尼巴病毒     

反复饥饿对大鼠空间学习及海马神经元骨架蛋白磷酸化的影响

为了进一步研究饥饿处理对大鼠空间学习、记忆的影响,通过饥饿2 d、恢复喂食3 d的方法,连续60 d,用Morris水迷宫检测大鼠的空间学习能力.免疫印迹检测神经元骨架蛋白—tau蛋白和神经细丝(Neurofilament,NF)磷酸化水平与分布变化,以及骨架蛋白磷酸化调节的关键酯酶磷酸酯酶PP-2A催化亚单位蛋白水平与分布.反复饥饿的大鼠空间学习能力明显差于对照组(P0.05),tau蛋白在Ser199/202位点和Ser396/404位点发生了过度磷酸化(P0.05),NF磷酸化水平无明显改变,PP-2A的催化亚单位蛋白水平下调(P0.05).反复饥饿可以引起大鼠出现空间学习记忆障碍,下调PP-2A催化亚单位蛋白水平,PP-2A活性抑制及tau蛋白发生过度磷酸化.     

An efficient method of constructing homologous recom binant baculovirus with PCR-amplified fragments

This paper describes a rapid method of constructing homologous recombinant baculovirus inE. coli with PCR-amplified fragments. By using this method, the traditional steps of constructing transfer vector are omitted. The method is based on phage λ red system which can promote the recombination between the homologous fragments with the length above 36 bp. Taking HaSNPV as an example, this paper describes the rapid recombination process by using chloramphenicol resistance gene (Cm ^R ) to replaceorf135 in HaSNPV genome. A pair of primers with length of 60 bp was synthesized, in which 40 bp was homologous to the each end sequence oforf135, and the rest 20 bp was homologous to the each end sequence ofCm ^R . By using these primers, a linear fragment containing the completeCm ^R gene between 40 bp of homologous arms oforf135 was generated by PCR with the plasmid pKD3 which containsCm ^R as the template. By transforming the linear fragment into theE. coli containing the bacterial artificial chromosome of HaSNPV and with the help of a plasmid expressing λ recombinase, the recombinants on which the homologue replacement had taken place were selected by chloramphenicol resistance. This method greatly shortens the process of constructing recombinant baculovirus since the process was performed inE. coli and does not need to construct transfer vectors. It can be further used for gene replacement and gene deletion of other large viral genomes.     

HzAm1细胞rpL13基因的序列分析及病毒感染对其转录水平的影响

从美洲棉铃虫细胞(HzAM1)中克隆了核糖体大亚基蛋白L13(RibosomalproteinL13,RpL13)的cDNA及其基因组DNA序列,并进行了序列分析。其编码框为666bp,无内含子,预测编码大小约为25kDa的蛋白。通过与其它15种动物的RpL13编码框序列进行进化分析,发现聚类结果与传统物种分类一致。转录研究表明,棉铃虫核型多角体病毒(Helicoverpaarmigerasinglenucleocapsidnucleopolyhedrovirus,HaSNPV)感染HzAm1后使rpL13在细胞内的转录水平降低,在病毒感染后96h,rpL13mRNA的拷贝数降到对照健康细胞的8%。     

棉铃虫单核衣壳核多角体病毒囊膜蛋白odv-e66基因及其邻近区域的序列分析

杆状病毒ODV-E66蛋白是包涵体来源病毒(occlusion-derived virus,ODV)囊膜的结构蛋白,ODV囊膜对ODV的稳定性和感染性具有重要作用.本文报道了HaSNPV odv-e66基因及其邻近区域共4 237bp的核苷酸序列及其分析结果.HaSNPV的odv-e66基因编码区全长2 019bp,推测编码一个由672个氨基酸残基组成的,分子量为74.5kD的列比较分显示HaSNPV ODV-E66蛋白具有多个保守区域,包括N末端的强疏水功能区、序列中部的一个可能的核定位信号RKIW,两个Leu-zipper以及5个跨膜区.odv-e66基因上游的两个ORF分别与AcMNPV的orf108和orf109具有同源性,下游的ORF与LsNPV的p13基因具有同源性.
