下丘脑外侧区注射TRH对大鼠胃酸分泌的影响

本文采用连续收集胃腔灌流法,观察下丘脑外侧区(LHA)注射促甲状腺激素释放激素(TRH)对大鼠胃酸分泌的影响,并分析TRH在LHA促进胃酸分泌的作用机制。结果表明:(1)LHA注射TRH(1μg)明显地刺激胃酸分泌;(2)预先向LHA注射酚妥拉明(10μg)、美多心安(5μg)及胃泌素抗体1μl(1:640)并不影响TRH的泌酸作用,如预先向LHA注射阿托品(5μg)则可消除TRH的泌酸效应;(3)垂体摘除及肾上腺切除均不影响TRH的泌酸作用;(4)隔下迷走神经切断后,LHA注入TRH的泌酸效应仍然出现,但持续时间显著缩短;腹腔交感神经节摘除后,TRH仍能促进胃酸分泌,但分泌量少而平稳。以上结果提示:LHA是TRH中枢泌酸效应的有关结构之一,其中枢机制是通过胆碱能M受体中介的,腹腔交感神经节和膈下迷走神经是TRH泌酸效应的传出途径。前者引起的泌酸反应出现较早且引起泌酸高峰,但持续时间短;后者则引起低平的持续分泌。     

立枯丝核菌蛋白质电泳图谱研究 Ⅰ.融合群与图谱的相关性

用来自日本和美国的立枯丝核菌8个融合群11个类群代表菌株进行可溶性蛋白质电泳,其结果表明,各融合群及亚群之间电泳图谱有显著差异,而同一类群菌株的电泳图谱则相似。分析来源于华东等地已鉴定的融合类群117个菌株的电泳图谱显示,同一融合群内菌株,虽然采集地区、寄主植物或致病力不同,其蛋白质图谱仍十分相似;而不同融合类群的菌株,即使在同一田块中同一种寄主植物上引起相似病害,其图谱也显示出明显差异。本文就上述可溶性蛋白质图谱显示的结果与其它研究者在血清学、DNA同源性.酯酶等生化水平上对融合群的研究结果进行了比较和探讨。     

中华白蛉的自育性研究

现场及实验室结果表明,我国黄土高原的大多数中华白蛉(Phlebotomus chinensis)应属自育性品系,它通常在羽化后、吸血前经交配能依靠腹节内脂肪体发育卵泡,一般在产卵后始行吸血。其生理性状是:胃内无血、腹节内有大量块状或条状脂肪体。羽化24小时后,附腺内有暗色颗粒,卵巢内有发育的卵泡。在25℃士1℃下它的生活史分快、慢两型。快型从卵至成虫仅需44—50夭,慢型需要以四龄幼虫滞育,其长短随滞育期而定,最长的滞育期达301天。观察了白蛉幼虫在饥饿状态下对自育性的影响。此外,还比较了吸血白蛉与自育性白蛉的妊卵数。吸血白蛉的妊卵数约较自育性的高出1/5。这种自育性品系的中华白蛉在自然居群约内占92%、主要栖于洞穴内为野栖种类。本文对自育性中华白蛉的生态及其防制策略作了分析和讨论。     

A clone coding for Schizophyllum commune beta-glucosidase: homology with a yeast beta-glucosidase

Three identical clones coding for a partial sequence of the Schizophyllum commune beta-glucosidase were isolated from a cDNA library in lambda gt11, using polyclonal antibody to the enzyme. The identity was confirmed by comparison of the amino-terminus of a peptide from a protease lys-C digest with the sequence inferred from the cDNA sequence. A comparison of the sequence with that reported for a beta-glucosidase from Candida pelliculosa revealed a region in the latter with 43% identity in amino acid sequence. There was also a similarity in the S. commune beta-glucosidase to an active site sequence proposed for a S. commune endoglucanase, suggesting the possibility of a common catalytic mechanism for these two glucolytic enzymes.     

Enzymatic studies on the interaction of myosin and heavy meromyosin with 1,N 6 -ethenoadenosine triphosphate ( ATP), a fluorescent analog of ATP

The fluorescent analog of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)¹ 1,N⁶-ethenoadenosine triphosphate, (εATP), has been utilized as a substitute for ATP in the myosin and heavy meromyosin ATPase systems. For myosin, the analog εATP replaced ATP with a somewhat larger K_m (2.6 × 10^?4 mole ?^?1 for εATP as opposed to 8.8 × 10^?5 mole ?^?1 for ATP), indicating that the apparent affinity of the enzyme for εATP is less than for ATP. Perhaps of more interest, further comparison yielded a V_max for εATP about two and one half times the value for ATP (20 μmole PO₄ sec^?1 g protein^?1 as opposed to 8.1 μmole sec^?1 g protein^?1). Results for the HMM-εATPase system were similar, yielding a K_m value of 1.47 × 10^?4 mole ?^?1 and a V_max of 54.2 μmole PO₄ sec^?1 g protein^?1, as opposed to corresponding K_m and V_max values of 1.23 × 10^?4 mole ?^?1 and 20.4 μmole PO₄ sec^?1 g protein^?1, respectively for the HMM-ATP interaction. The pH dependence of εATPase for both systems was comparable to ATP, suggesting a similarity in the mechanism of hydrolysis of the two nucleotides. Activation of εATPase by Ca²⁺ in the presence of 0.5 M KCl was comparable to ATPase for both systems, but inhibition by Mg²⁺ seemed to be more effective for εATPase. These results indicate that εATP is an excellent substitute for ATP in the myosin and heavy meromyosin systems and because of its insertion into the active site of these muscle proteins, it promises to be a very useful probe for conformation studies at this level.
