氨基酸对蛇足石杉叶状体增殖及石杉碱甲积累的影响

通过在培养基中添加不同浓度的天冬氨酸、赖氨酸和色氨酸, 探究其对蛇足石杉(Huperzia serrata)叶状体生长、石杉碱甲积累及SOD酶活性的影响。结果表明: 添加天冬氨酸后, 叶状体干重生物量比对照提高18.50%-25.75%, 石杉碱甲含量亦明显高于对照, 其最适天冬氨酸浓度为0.5 mmol·L^-1; 添加1 mmol·L^-1色氨酸后, 叶状体相对增殖率显著高于对照, 但其石杉碱甲积累量略低于对照; 添加赖氨酸后, 叶状体相对增殖量、干重生物量及石杉碱甲含量均低于对照。添加一定浓度的天冬氨酸使SOD酶活性适当提高, 同时叶状体石杉碱甲积累量增加, 而长期保持高水平的SOD酶活性对叶状体积累石杉碱甲不利。

北方蜜环菌菌索生长、发育对环境氧气及土壤湿度的响应

蜜环菌属Armillaria spp.真菌是重要的植物病原菌和兰科Orchidaceae植物天麻Gastrodia elata的专性共生菌,能以菌索形式在土壤中存活和传播,因此,土壤环境变化对蜜环菌菌索生长、发育的影响,是关系天麻栽培和森林蜜环菌病害的重要过程。为了揭示蜜环菌生长发育对土壤水分和氧气的适应特征,本研究以北方蜜环菌Armillaria borealis为研究材料,设计氧气浓度5%、15%、20%和30%的4个水平与土壤湿度20%、40%、60%和80%的双因素实验,在室内24 ℃及黑暗条件下培养,观察菌索发生时间(T)、测定菌索生物量(DW)、菌索长度(L)、菌索数(Nt)、菌索分枝数(Nf)和菌索直径(AD)。结果表明,土壤湿度和氧气浓度对北方蜜环菌菌索发育和生长具有显著影响,在15%的氧气浓度和60%的土壤湿度发育最快。本研究为人工模拟蜜环菌生长发育的环境提供了部分依据,对提高天麻人工栽培的产量,揭示森林蜜环菌病害发病机制具有重要价值。

Suppressed apoptosis in the inflamed gastric mucosa of Helicobacter pylori-colonized iNOS-knockout mice

Deregulated cell turnover in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-colonized gastric mucosa has been suggested to be linked to the gastric carcinogenesis pathway. We previously reported attenuation of apoptosis and enhancement of cellular proliferation in the H. pylori-colonized gastric mucosa of Mongolian gerbils as compared to that in mice, which might reflect a specific link between H. pylori colonization and carcinogenesis in the Mongolian gerbils; the difference between the two strains could be attributable to differences in the host genetic background. Inducible-type nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is thought to participate in not only the inflammatory response, but also in the regulation of gastric mucosal cell turnover in H. pylori-colonized gastric mucosa. Thus, the present study was designed to examine gastric leukocyte activation and epithelial cell apoptosis in the gastric mucosa following H. pylori inoculation in iNOS-knockout mice. Methods: iNOS-knockout mice (iNOS^−/−) and their iNOS^+/+ littermates were orally inoculated with the Sydney strain of H. pylori (SS1, 10⁸ colony-forming units [CFU]). H. pylori infection was confirmed by microaerobic bacterial culture. The stomach of each mouse was evaluated 14 weeks and 30 weeks after the inoculation. Gastric mucosal accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) was assessed by determining the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and histological score based on the updated Sydney system. The level of apoptosis was determined by estimation of the cytoplasmic levels of mono- and oligonucleosomes and by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling method. Results: The SS1-inoculated mice showed persistent H. pylori colonization for 12 weeks. While gastric mucosal PMN infiltration increased following SS1 inoculation in both iNOS^+/+ and iNOS^−/−strains, enhanced DNA fragmentation was observed in only SS1-colonized iNOS^+/+ mice, and not in the iNOS^−/− mice. In conclusion, although the recruitment of PMN in response to H. pylori was evoked even in the gastric mucosa of iNOS^−/− mice, epithelial cell apoptosis induced by H. pylori was attenuated in this strain. These data suggest that iNOS may play an important role in promoting apoptosis in the H. pylori-infected inflamed gastric mucosa, and that persistent inflammation without apoptosis in iNOS^−/− mice with H. pylori infection may be linked to preneoplastic transformation.     

Mutation of fungal endoglucanases into glycosynthases and characterization of their acceptor substrate specificity

Humicola insolens mutant Cel7B E197A is a powerful endo-glycosynthase displaying an acceptor substrate specificity restricted to β-d-glucosyl, β-d-xylosyl, β-d-mannosyl and β-d-glucosaminyl in +1 subsite. Our aim was to extend this substrate specificity to β-d-N-acetylglucosaminyl, in order to get access to a wider array of oligosaccharidic structures obtained through glycosynthase assisted synthesis. In a first approach a trisaccharide bearing a β-d-N-acetylglucosaminyl residue was docked at the +1 subsite of H. insolens Cel7B, indicating that the mutation of only one residue, His209, could lead to the expected wider acceptor specificity. Three H. insolens Cel7B glycosynthase mutants (H209A, H209G and H209A/A211T) were produced and expressed in Aspergillus oryzae. In parallel, sequence alignment investigations showed that several cellulases from family GH7 display an alanine residue instead of histidine at position 209. Amongst them, Trichoderma reesei Cel7B, an endoglucanase sharing the highest degree of sequence identity with Humicola Cel7B, was found to naturally accept a β-d-N-acetylglucosaminyl residue at +1 subsite. The T. reesei Cel7B mutant nucleophile E196A was produced and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and its activity as glycosynthase, together with the H. insolens glycosynthase mutants, was evaluated toward various glycosidic acceptors.     

Synchronous division and the pattern of diel vertical migration of Heterosigma akashiwo (Hada) Hada (Raphidophyceae) in a laboratory culture tank

Heterosigma akashiwo (Hada) Hada (Raphidophyceae) causes red tides in Osaka Bay (Japan). A clonal culture of the alga was grown in a 2 m tall culture tank on a 12: 12 LD cycle to determine patterns of vertical migration and cell division. A specific growth rate of 0.43 ln unit · day⁻¹ was obtained during complete mixing conditions. Under weakly stratified conditions (≈ΔT = 3–4°C/1.5 m), H. akashiwo in the tank grew and showed a similar pattern of vertical migration to that observed in the field for at least 6 days. Cell concentration, mean cell volume, and photosynthetic capacity, estimated by DCMU-induced fluorescence increase of H. akashiwo, were monitored in the stratified tank at 2-h intervals over 24 h at three levels in the water column. Cell ascent began shortly before the light period and vertically swimming cells were smaller in size than those sampled near the bottom of the tank. The cell division cycle and the pattern of vertical migration were phased individually by the light regime and were well synchronized with each other. This synchrony must be due to the interrelation between these two processes or the existence of a clock which controlled endogenous rhythms of both processes and was entrained by a light: dark cycle. The relative increase of fluorescence with DCMU was higher for migrating cells than for non-migrating cells.

Embryonic inheritance of the chromatin organisation of the imprinted H19 domain in mouse spermatozoa

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf 2) and H19 genes are oppositely imprinted and as such have been most extensively studied imprinted genes both genetically and at the molecular level. Imprints of the H19 gene, being established during spermatogenesis, are epigenetically transmitted to the somatic cells of the embryo. Current hypotheses attempting to explain the allele-specific silence of the H19 gene include DNA methylation and chromatin condensation. In order to understand the molecular basis of H19 epigenesis, it is crucial to identify the markings in the chromatin organising the imprinted domain in spermatozoa. Using Micrococcal nuclease (MNase), DNase I and Methidiumpropyl-EDTA. iron II (MPE·Fe(II)) as chromatin probes, we demonstrate that in mouse epididymal spermatozoa, at least 4 kb DNA upstream of the H19 ‘cap’ site, containing the imprinted and differentially methylated domain (DMD), is heterochromatic. The cleavage sites in this domain (−2 to −4 kb) exhibit ~425 bp periodicity. This structure is maintained in the paternal allele of normal embryos and is disrupted at −2.2, −2.65 and at −3.5 kb in embryos maternally disomic for the distal end of chromosome 7 (MatDp 7). The hypersensitive sites in chromatin precisely register the MPE·Fe(II) cleavage sites in chromosomal DNA. Therefore, the DNA sequences in the imprinted domain constrain the chromatin structure in a way similar to that of 1.688 g/cm³ Drosophila satellite chromatin. In addition, we find that condensation of the paternal allele correlates with methylation-dependent alteration in the structure of DNA sequences in DMD. These results suggest that CpG-methylation induces localised changes in DNA conformation and these facilitate consequent remodelling of chromatin thereby allowing the paternal and maternal H19 alleles to be distinguished.

Halothiobacillus neapolitanus strain OSWA isolated from "The Old Sulphur Well" at Harrogate (Yorkshire, England)

The “Old Sulphur Well” has a subterranean input of water containing 5.5 mM total sulfide, which would be inhibitory to the growth of most bacteria. The obligately chemolithoautotrophic Halothiobacillus neapolitanus is a sulfur bacterium known to tolerate and metabolize high sulfide concentrations, and we report the isolation of H. neapolitanus strain OSWA from this source. Strain OSWA grows well on thiosulfate and tetrathionate as energy sources, and tolerates at least 5 mM sulfide. Its specific growth rates and yields in batch culture were 0.22 h⁻¹ and 5.3 g mol⁻¹ (thiosulfate), and 0.23 h⁻¹ and 9.5 g mol⁻¹ (tetrathionate). Its 16S rRNA gene sequence shows >99% identity to reference sequences of H. neapolitanus, and it shares morphological and physiological characteristics typical of the species. It is one of a very small number of strains of H. neapolitanus described to date, and the first to be isolated from an ancient sulfide-rich natural spa.
