IAA及KCN在黄瓜子叶离体叶绿体氧化还原作用过程中的相互作用

ＩＡＡ对于不同时期的叶绿体ＤＣＰＩＰ光还原均有促进效应。而对叶绿体的放氧效率的促进则随子叶叶岭的增长而下降至零。ＣＮ＾－（１０＾－３ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）存在时不同程度地抑制叶绿体的ＤＣＰＩＰ光还原和氧化放氧。而ＩＡＡ（１０＾－５,１０＾－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）则能消除ＣＮ＾－的抑制作用而仅表现ＬＡＡ原有的促进作用。同时,ＩＡＡ可以释放照光和不照光条件下ＫＣＮ对离体叶绿体分解外源Ｈ２Ｏ２的抑制。叶绿体光系统的光还原     

还原型胰岛素A、B链相互作用的初步研究

本文报道在chance所用“一步法”重组胰岛素的类似条件下,还原型A、B链相互作用研究的初步结果。在pH10.6对S—磺酸型A及B链加入1.2倍SH/SSO_3—的二巯基苏糖醇,在一小时内A、B链与DTT的混合物较之单独的A、B链与DTT的混合物,紫外差光谱显示295、245nm负差峰,峰值随时间增大;园二色性测定观察到混合链的α螺旋含量比单独的A、B链有所增加。这表明在A、B链的巯基氧化生成二硫链前,还原型A、B链间的相互作用导致Tyr残基逐渐内埋,肽链构象的调整使有序二级结构增加。根据此时还原程度的测定,讨论了DTT与S—磺酸型A、B链作巯基交换的可能机制,过多的还原试剂易破坏已正确配对的二硫键,也妨碍肽链构象的调整。     

Formation and growth of the ectomycorrhiza of Cantharellus cibarius

New data on the physiology of Cantharellus cibarius mycorrhiza formation has resulted in a new aseptic routine method for in vitro formation. The advances are short formation time, healthy plants and reliable colonization. A high glucose demand and a good gas exchange with additional carbon dioxide are important factors in the mycorrhiza formation. Mycorrhiza was observed after 8 weeks, but strong colonization occurred after 10–12 weeks, when mycorrhiza was established to the depth of 5 cm. A C. cibarius strain connected to Picea abies in nature successfully colonized Pinus sylvestris in vitro, but not Betula pendula. Mycorrhizal plants have been successfully transferred to unsterile environments in greenhouses. The mycorrhizae continued to colonize new roots and the unsterile peat soil for 10 months. However, C. cibarius mycorrhiza is highly sensitive to flooding. With PCR and RFLP, fruit bodies, isolated mycelia and artificially formed mycorrhizae have been compared to prove that C. cibarius was used. Climatic changes did not induce primordia formation but factors behind fruit body formation are discussed.     

肿瘤与正常细胞表面糖链结构的流式细胞术分析

为了比较正常与肿瘤细胞表面的糖链结构差异,凝集素用荧光素标记后作为研究细胞膜糖链结构的探针,采用流式细胞技术在分子水平上分析。结果显示正常与肿瘤肝细胞与同一浓度的凝集素探针结合量有明显的不同。与凝集素ConA-FITC结合后,正常肝细胞的荧光峰较肿瘤肝细胞的荧光峰明显右移;与凝集素WGA-FITC、PHA-FITC结合后,正常肝细胞的荧光峰较肿瘤肝细胞的荧光峰明显左移。由于凝集素可识别特定糖链结构,该方法说明肿瘤肝细胞的糖链结构与正常肝细胞相比具有特征变化,即平分型糖链和唾液酸含量丰富,可能出现偏二天线以及天线数的增加。     

Relationship between loss of heavy chains and the appearance of nonproducing hybridomas

One drawback to the in vitro production of monoclonal antibodies is the loss of productivity exhibited by hybridomas over time, which has been shown to correspond to the appearance of a nonproducing subpopulation. In this study, we monitored the presence of antibody components, both intra- and extracellular, between producing and nonproducing hybridomas. A nonproducing cell population appeared which lacked heavy chain, while all cultures continued to produce light chain, indicating that the loss in antibody production resulted from the absence of heavy chain and occurred before protein assembly or secretion.

Myosin light chain kinase and the role of myosin light chain phosphorylation in skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase (skMLCK) is a dedicated Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent serine–threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates the regulatory light chain (RLC) of sarcomeric myosin. It is expressed from the MYLK2 gene specifically in skeletal muscle fibers with most abundance in fast contracting muscles. Biochemically, activation occurs with Ca²⁺ binding to calmodulin forming a (Ca²⁺)₄•calmodulin complex sufficient for activation with a diffusion limited, stoichiometric binding and displacement of a regulatory segment from skMLCK catalytic core. The N-terminal sequence of RLC then extends through the exposed catalytic cleft for Ser15 phosphorylation. Removal of Ca²⁺ results in the slow dissociation of calmodulin and inactivation of skMLCK. Combined biochemical properties provide unique features for the physiological responsiveness of RLC phosphorylation, including (1) rapid activation of MLCK by Ca²⁺/calmodulin, (2) limiting kinase activity so phosphorylation is slower than contraction, (3) slow MLCK inactivation after relaxation and (4) much greater kinase activity relative to myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP). SkMLCK phosphorylation of myosin RLC modulates mechanical aspects of vertebrate skeletal muscle function. In permeabilized skeletal muscle fibers, phosphorylation-mediated alterations in myosin structure increase the rate of force-generation by myosin cross bridges to increase Ca²⁺-sensitivity of the contractile apparatus. Stimulation-induced increases in RLC phosphorylation in intact muscle produces isometric and concentric force potentiation to enhance dynamic aspects of muscle work and power in unfatigued or fatigued muscle. Moreover, RLC phosphorylation-mediated enhancements may interact with neural strategies for human skeletal muscle activation to ameliorate either central or peripheral aspects of fatigue.     

Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders in childhood: Insights into diagnosis and management in the new era of genomic medicine

Background

Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders (MRCDs) are some of the most common metabolic disorders presenting in childhood, however because of it clinical heterogeneity, diagnosis is often challenging. Being a multisystemic disorder with variable and non-specific presentations, definitive diagnosis requires a combination of investigative approaches, and is often a laborious process.

Scope of review

In this review we provide a broad overview of the clinical presentations of MRCDs in childhood, evaluating the different diagnostic approaches and treatment options, and highlighting the recent research advances in this area.

Major conclusions

Extensive research over the years has significantly increased the frequency with which accurate diagnosis is being made, including the identification of new biomarkers and next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. NGS has provided a breakthrough in unravelling the genetic basis of MRCDs, especially considering the complexity of mitochondrial genetics with its dual genetic contributions.

General significance

With an increased understanding of the pathophysiology of this group of disorders, clinical trials are now being established using a number of different therapeutic approaches, with the hope of changing the focus of treatment from being largely supportive to potentially having a positive effect on the natural history of the disorder.This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Special Issue: Frontiers of Mitochondria IG000218.     

Cloning and Sequencing of the Gene Encoding 10 kD Zein of Maize

The results of cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding 10 kD zein of maize (Zea mays L. ) with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique are here with presented. The genomic DNA template was extracted from sterilized seedlings of maize. Primered with a pair of synthetic 5′and 3′ PCR primers, a 0.57 kb DNA fragment was obtained after 30 PCR amplification cycles. The restriction map of the DNA fragment has been determined. The result indicated that the entire coding sequence of 10 kD zein gene has been cloned. The homologies of the DNA sequence and deduced amino acid sequences between our result and those published abroad are 96% and 90% respectively. As l0 kD zein is rich in sulphur, this gene might be used to improve the quality of crops, especially, the forage legumes by genetic engineering.
