转基因大豆MON89788芯片式数字PCR定量方法的建立

针对抗虫耐除草剂大豆转基因品系MON89788,从转基因植物基因组DNA的提取、核酸模板的质量和浓度控制、引物探针的筛选、PCR反应过程的建立等方面建立了一套完整的转基因大豆芯片式dPCR定量检测方法。本实验也对该方法的重复性和定量检测限进行考察。10组5%转基因品系大豆MON89788样品定量重复性RSD在1.17%-9.97%之间,均满足国际上转基因定量结果RSD小于25%的要求。用该方法对转基因含量为5%、1%、0.1%的大豆MON89788进行定量检测,其定量结果为5.20%、0.94%和0.11%,RSD分别为6.2%、3.6%和15.2%。该检测方法的定量限达到0.1%,能满足欧盟对转基因定量标识0.9%的要求。将本实验建立的方法用于转基因大豆的定量检测,能为规范我国转基因监管工作的实施提供强有力的技术支撑。     

Calmodulin inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase.

We demonstrate in this report that the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor from rat liver can be isolated by calmodulin affinity chromatography by binding in the presence of Ca2+ and elution with a Ca(2+)-chelating agent. The bulk of the EGF receptor is not eluted by a NaCl gradient in the presence of Ca2+. We ascertained the identity of the isolated receptor by immunoblot and immunoprecipitation using a polyclonal antibody against an EGF receptor from human origin. The purified receptor is autophosphorylated in tyrosine residues in an EGF-stimulated manner, and EGF-dependent phosphorylation of serine residues was also detected. Both the EGF and the transforming growth factor-alpha stimulate the tyrosine-directed protein kinase activity of the isolated receptor with similar affinities. Furthermore, we demonstrate that calmodulin inhibits the EGF-dependent tyrosine-directed protein kinase activity associated to the receptor in a concentration-dependent manner. This inhibition is partially Ca2+ dependent and is not displaced by increasing the concentration of EGF up to an EGF/calmodulin ratio of 10 (mol/mol). In addition, calmodulin was phosphorylated in an EGF-stimulated manner in the presence of a basic protein (histone) as cofactor and in the absence, but not in the presence, of Ca2+.

模拟穿透雨减少对锐齿栎(Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata)树干液流密度的影响

降水格局变化是全球气候变化的重要特征之一,未来气候变化下,较为频繁和严峻的干旱将威胁地球中纬度部分地区的森林,但森林植被如何响应季节性干旱胁迫及其机制尚不清楚。北亚热带-暖温带过渡区分布着以锐齿栎(Quercus aliena var.acuteserrata)为优势树种的落叶阔叶林,研究其水分蒸腾代谢过程对干旱的响应是评估气候变化对过渡区天然落叶阔叶林生态系统水碳影响的关键科学问题。在典型的锐齿栎天然林中通过开展模拟穿透雨减少大型野外实验,采用Granier热扩散式探针技术监测锐齿栎树干液流密度的动态变化,研究了不同径级锐齿栎树干液流密度对模拟干旱的响应规律。结果表明:(1)穿透雨减少对树干液流密度的影响呈现季节变异。在7月份,林内穿透雨减少显著降低了锐齿栎的树干液流密度,但生长季后期的10月份林内穿透雨减少反而使锐齿栎树干液流密度显著升高。(2)不同径级的锐齿栎树干液流密度在生长季内对干旱有不同的响应,特别是小径级的树干液流密度与其他径级有较多的不同。小径级的锐齿栎树干液流密度在5、7月份表现为减雨样地显著小于对照样地,在9、10月份则表现为减雨样地显著大于对照样地。中径级的锐齿栎树干液流密度在5、10月份表现为减雨样地显著大于对照样地,在7月份则表现为减雨样地极显著小于对照样地。大径级的锐齿栎树干液流密度在6、7月份表现为减雨样地显著小于对照样地,在10月份则表现为减雨样地显著大于对照样地。

N-糖蛋白去糖基化酶（PNGase）的研究进展

N-糖蛋白去糖基化酶（PNGase）是一种广泛存在于真菌、植物、哺乳动物中的去糖基化酶，可以水解N-糖蛋白或 N-糖肽上天冬酰胺与寡糖链连接的化学键，并释放出完整的N-寡糖。PNGase在生物体内参与蛋白质降解、器官发育、个体生长等过程。人PNGase基因功能缺陷会导致先天性去糖基化障碍，小鼠PNGase缺陷会导致胚胎致死性，线虫PNGase缺陷使其寿命下降。本文对PNGase在不同物种的分布、蛋白质结构、酶学功能及生物学功能进行阐述，为PNGase的生理病理功能及致病机制的基础研究提供思路，为PNGase作为糖生物学工具酶或药物开发的创新应用研究奠定基础。     

Pancreatic duct secretion: experimental methods, ion transport mechanisms and regulation

The pancreatic ductal tree conveys enzymatic acinar products to the duodenum and secretes the fluid and ionic components of pancreatic juice. The physiology of pancreatic duct cells has been widely studied, but many questions are still unanswered concerning their mechanisms of ionic transport. Differences in the transport mechanisms operating in the ductal epithelium has been described both among different species and in the different regions of the ductal tree. In this review we summarize the methods developed to study pancreatic duct secretion both in vivo and in vitro, the different mechanisms of ionic transport that have been reported to date in the basolateral and luminal membranes of pancreatic ductal cells and the regulation of pancreatic duct secretion by nervous endocrine and paracrine influences.
