苏铁属植物叶表皮特征及其分类学和古生态学意义

苏铁属(Cycas)作为一类古老的裸子植物,经历了漫长的演化历史,因此,深入研究其形态特征与环境的相互关系,有望为古环境重建提供重要参考依据。本文分析西双版纳和深圳两地植物园栽培环境下27种苏铁属植物的叶表皮特征及气孔参数的差异,并进一步探讨气孔参数与系统发育的关系。结果表明:(1)苏铁属内叶表皮特征保守稳定,具有一定的分类学意义:依据表皮细胞及气孔器特征划分了四种叶表皮类型,可为苏铁现生植物或化石的鉴定提供参考。(2)四种叶表皮类型指示了不同的原生生境特征,对古环境具有一定的指示意义。(3)同一环境下,气孔参数在属内的种间差异显著,其次,气孔指数在属内变化与系统发育有关,除气孔指数具显著的系统发育信号外,其余气孔参数均无显著系统发育信号。本研究结果表明气孔参数法重建古大气CO2浓度时,需尽可能利用亲缘关系相近、叶表皮和生境皆相似的代理种,并明确气孔参数与大气CO2分压的相关关系在种间的异同,从而提高该方法的有效性。

Chromatographic patterns of urinary ethynyl estrogen metabolites in various populations

Radioactive mestranol (ME) and/or ethynylestradiol (EE) were administered to women in Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and the USA, and the types and patterns of radioactive urinary conjugates examined by Sephadex LH-20 chromatography. There are no differences in the total excretion of urinary radioactivity over 3 days. Consistent geographic differences appear to be present in the proportion of 3-, 17-, and 3,17-glucuronides. If confirmed on larger population samples, these observations may indicate significant geographic differences in the hepatic metabolism of ethynyl estrogens.High performance liquid chromatographic patterns of the urinary aglycone metabolites of ME and EE were examined in a number of women. The separation was accomplished on a Chromegaprep Diol column with a gradient of isopropanol in heptane. Ethynyl estrogen metabolism shows considerable individual variation. EE is usually the principal compound excreted following ME or EE administration. Unmetabolized ME is present in the ME profiles. The profiles of EE and ME are similar, with EE demonstrating a more complex pattern. Oxidative metabolism occurs chiefly at positions 2, 6, and 16 and is fairly extensive in the USA subjects. The Sri Lankan women generally show less of the oxidative products and the Nigerian group display a notable lack of oxidative metabolism. There is no difference in the metabolic patterns of long-term oral contraceptive users vs. non-users. Using silver sulfoethylcellulose column chromatography, from 14.1 to 34.7% of the excreted radiolabeled aglycones are non-ethynyl (i.e., either D-homo or de-ethynylated estrogens).     

Malaria and ovalocytosis — molecular mimicry?

Two recently published reports have described findings which will have a profound impact on the understanding of molecular mechanisms of human resistance to malaria infection. In Melanesian ovalocytosis, a genetic polymorphism found in Papua New Guinea and parts of South East Asia, the red cells are highly resistant to invasion by various species of malaria parasite. The molecular nature of the defect in ovalocytic erythrocytes was not known. Recent reports by Liu et al., (Liu, S.-C., Zhai, S., Palek, J., Golan, D., Amato, D., Hassan, K., Nurse, G., Babona, D., Coetzer, T., Jarolim, P. Zaik, M. and Borwein, S. (1990) N. Engl. J. Med. 323, 1530–1538.) and Jones et al. (Jones, G.L., Edmundson, H.M., Wesche, D. and Saul, A. (1991) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1096, 33–40.) have now identified the abnormality in the band 3 protein of ovalocytic red cell membranes. A major discovery in the Jones et al, study is the presence of an extended peptide at the N-terminus of ovalocyte band 3 protein. This novel 13 amino acid extended sequence is not found in the primary structure of normal band 3 protein and was suggested to be the cause of band 3 defect in ovalocytes. We have analyzed this extended sequence through Genbank using SWISS-PROT database and found that an almost identical sequence exists in a malaria parasite protein called RESA.     

Aldosterone plasma radioimmunoassay interference by a spirolactone metabolite.

The plasma aldosterone radioimmunoassay developed by Ito et al. was found to be non-specific for aldosterone following administration of the spirolactones, spironolactone and canrenoate-K, in rabbits, dogs and humans. The assay interfering principle was identified as a hydroxylated derivative (M-B) of canrenone, which itself is a metabolite common to both spironolactone and canrenoate-K. The metabolite M-B possessed a high cross-reactivity to the 21-hemisuccinate aldosterone antibody relative to other spirolactones. A modified procedure was developed specific for plasma aldosterone in the presence of M-B. Following single doses of spironolactone and canrenoate-K, aldosterone plasma levels were unchanged in humans and in dogs and decreased in rabbits.     

A multinuclear nmr relaxation study of the interaction of divalent metal ions with l-aspartic acid

Carbon-13 spin-lattice relaxation times, T₁, have been measured for aqueous solutions of L-aspartic acid, L-alanine, O-phospho-L-serine, and 2-mercapto-L-succinic acid in the presence of the paramagnetic metal ions, Cu²⁺ and Mn²⁺, and Mg²⁺ as a diamagnetic control, at ambient temperature and neutral pH. Nitrogen-15, oxygen-17 and proton relaxation times were also obtained for L-aspartic acid and phosphorus-31 relaxation times for O-phospho-L-serine under similar conditions. The structures of these complexes in solution were determined from the various metal ion-nuclei distances calculated from the paramagaetically-induced relaxation. These results indicate that the Cu²⁺ interaction with L-aspartic acid is through α-amino and β-carboxyl groups while Mn²⁺ coordinates most strongly through α-and β-carboxyl groups, with the possibility of a weak interaction through the amino group.An examination of the coordination of these divalent metal ions to an analog of L-aspartic acid in which the β-carboxyl group is replaced by a phosphate group (O-phospho-L-serine) indicated that Cu²⁺ coordination is now probably through the α-amino and phosphate groups, while this analog is a monodentate ligand for Mn²⁺ coordinating through the phosphate group. Removal of the β-carboxyl group (L-alanine) also results in Cu²⁺ coordination through the α-carboxyl and α-amino groups, and the same ligand interactions are observed with Mn²⁺. Replacement of the α-amino group of L-aspartic acid with an - SH group (2-mercapto-L-succinate) is sufficient to eliminate any specific coordination with either Cu²⁺ or Mn²⁺.     

Aldosterone plasma radioimmunoassay interference by a spirolactone metabolite

The plasma aldosterone radioimmunoassay developed by Ito et al. was found to be non-specific for aldosterone following administration of the spirolactones, spironolactone and canrenoate-K, in rabbits, dogs and humans. The assay interfering principle was identified as a hydroxylated derivative (M_B) of canrenone, which itself is a metabolite common to both spironolactone and canrenoate-K. The metabolite M_B possessed a high cross-reactivity to the 21-hemisuccinate aldosterone antibody relative to other spirolactones. A modified procedure was developed specific for plasma aldosterone in the presence of MB. Following single doses of spironolactone and canrenoate-K, aldosterone plasma levels were unchanged in humans and in dogs and decreased in rabbits.     

GABA and glutamate fluxes in developing nerve endings

Radiolabeled GABA and glutamate transport into 7 day, 14 day and adult cortical nerve ending preparations was examined. Transport was measured at several Na⁺ concentrations, 19, 27, 43 and 121 mM, and at two temperatures, 15 and 30°C. K_m and V_max values were calculated for all experimental conditions by means of Wilkinson (1961) analysis. A comparison of the day 14 and adult data shows higher K_m values at all Na⁺ concentrations on day 14 for both GABA and glutamate transport. In addition, the temperature dependence of transport was attenuated in the day 14 preparation. Finally, the specificity of GABA transport, as measured by the use of the transport inhibitors β-alanine and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, was not different between the day 14 and adult preparations. Overall, it is concluded that both GABA and glutamate transport into day 14 nerve endings behave as if “adult” transporter molecules were existing in a more fluid lipid environment, which is the situation found in synaptic membranes prepared from day 14 nerve endings (Hitzemann and Johnson, 1983).Glutamate and GABA transport into 7 day nerve endings is complex and shows marked differences from the day 14 and adult data. Day 7 GABA transport was significantly more sensitive to β-alanine inhibition. Day 7 transport was more sensitive to Na⁺ manipulation and the temperature dependent kinetics show unique Na⁺ effects not seen in the day 14 or adult preparations. For example, at 19 mM Na⁺, 7 day glutamate transport was more temperature dependent than adult transport but as the Na⁺ concentration was increased the reverse was true. The opposite situation for temperature-Na⁺ effects was seen for GABA transport. Finally, no Ca⁺²-dependent component of GABA release could be found in 7 day nerve endings while a significant component was found at day 14. Overall, it is concluded that both glutamate and GABA fluxes in 7 day nerve endings differ both qualitatively from that seen in both day 14 and adult nerve endings.
