Identification of differential genes in the ovary relative to the testis and their expression patterns in half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis)

Half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) is a rare marine flatfish whose mature ovary and testis greatly differ in volume and weight. The length and weight of mature females are over twice greater than those of mature males. To obtain sufficient information on gonad differentiation and the relationship between gonad development and growth in the fish, we compared gene expression between the ovary and testis using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). Testis cDNAs are subtracted from...     

Characterization and mapping of a novel mutant sms1 (senescence and male sterility 1) in rice

Plant senescence plays diverse important roles in development and environmental responses.However,the molecular basis of plant senescence is remained largely unknown.A rice spontaneous mutant with the character of early senescence and male sterility (sms) was found in the breeding line NT10-748.In order to identify the gene SMS1 and the underlying mechanism,we preliminarily analyzed physiological and biochemical phenotypes of the mutant.The mutant contained lower chlorophyll content compared with the wild t...     

双歧杆菌影响肌醇三磷酸的实验研究

本实验首次发现双歧杆菌可降低大肠癌细胞内肌醇三磷酸水平，且存在时间依赖关系，提示双歧杆影响脂代谢通路的信息传递过程，这种影响是通过关闭亚细胞器上钙离子通道实现的。

mMR-1基因的克隆和在毕赤酵母中分泌表达

hMR-1为本实验室首次克隆发现的一个人类新基因 ,是一种和三种肌肉收缩蛋白及多种细胞信号蛋白具有相互作用的膜蛋白。经与鼠基因组数据库进行同源分析后设计合成引物 ,利用RT-PCR技术从小鼠C57BL 6J脾脏T淋巴细胞总RNA中反转录得到鼠源MR-1基因 (mMR-1) ,提交GenBank ,收录号 (AY2 99972 )。序列分析证明其与人源MR-1基因 (hMR-1)同源性为 90.1%。构建表达载体pPIC9 mMR-1电转化PichiapastorisGS115 ,筛选得到整合分泌表达mMR-1蛋白的重组酵母菌株。表达目的蛋白分子量 25kD ,诱导 5d时产量达到 50mg/L ,通过Westernblot验证了表达产物的正确性。本研究为进一步研究新基因MR-1的生物学功能奠定了基础。
