细菌周膜与液泡膜和液泡内含物的关系

箭舌豌豆根瘤中有丰富的侵入线,从侵入线释放出来的细菌都有细菌周膜。有时液泡中也有细菌,但它们中的绝大多数没有细胞周膜,只有个别例外,而且结构较清晰。细菌结构越好,它的细菌周膜就越完整。因此,液泡中细菌所具有的细菌周膜并非由液泡膜和液泡内含物形成。     

红豆草根瘤侵染细胞中液泡内含物的超微结构特征

用透射电镜研究了红豆草（Onobrychis viciifolia）根瘤侵染细胞中液泡内含物的超微结构特征。结果表明,早期发育侵染细胞的液泡中只含有少量的纤维状物质。随着细胞的发育,液泡不断变大,液泡中的纤维状物质和膜状物质越来越多。在中央液泡形成后,液泡中的纤维状物质逐渐减少,类细胞质、泡状和膜状物质明显增多,它们常由一层来自液泡膜的膜包围,其形状一般近似圆形或椭圆形。液泡内含物的大量出现可能与红豆草及其根瘤具有高度的抗旱件有关。     

箭舌豌豆根瘤细胞液泡中一种特殊内含物的研究

用透射电镜观察了箭舌豌豆根瘤侵染细胞。结果表明,有一些小泡出现在细胞质膜和侵入线附近,它们不断向中央液泡运动,并在运动中相互靠近形成小泡团。当其到达中央液泡时,附近的液泡膜产生内吞,形成突起。最后,这些突起脱离液泡膜,在中央液泡中形成一种由管状结构和小泡组成、表面具有一层被膜的特殊内含物。本文还讨论了此种内含物的起源及其与根瘤抗旱和细菌周膜扩增的关系。     

鱼腥藻PCC7120细胞液泡的初步研究

从保存３个月以上的老化培养物中直接检查到游离液泡。液泡为标准圆球状,完全透明,大小相差极为悬殊,多数大型液泡吞噬了数个衰老藻细胞。采用低渗酶解,渗透冲击,低渗酶解和渗透冲击相结合从培养３个月以上,２个月,１个月,１８ｄ,１０ｄ及２ｄ的藻丝细胞都分离到液泡。液泡略大于细胞,泡内无吞噬物。培养３ｄ的藻丝有１５％的细胞分离到液泡。其他多种蓝藻也分离到同样的液泡。     

鱼腥藻Anabaena PCC7120原生质球和液泡的同步诱导

植物和真菌的液泡,都是通过原生质体途径被分离后才得以深入研究.要分离蓝藻液泡,首先要求制备蓝藻原生质体(球),而这一技术在蓝藻方面长期不过关.最近十年来,作者在这方面进行了不断的努力,先后在蓝藻原生质球制备1、培养再生和融合2等方面获得进展,这方面的研究导致了蓝藻液泡的重新发现3.所发现的液泡由无机盐诱导产生,经电镜检查为单位膜所包围,故确定为液泡.借助较为成功的原生质球制备技术,首先分离了无机盐诱导形成的液泡,在此基础上进一步发现和分离了非诱导液泡4,在分离非诱导液泡的试验过程中发现了原生质球和液泡的同步诱导作用.       

冬季沙冬青叶肉细胞液泡中泡状内含物的研究

用透射电镜观察了沙冬青叶肉细胞液泡中泡状内含物的形成。在早期,这种泡状内含物位于细胞质中,它由大小不等、形态各异的小泡组成,后经液泡膜内吞进入液泡。液泡中的泡状内含物主要位于两个正常叶绿体之间,附近的细胞质较多,内有丰富的内质网、高尔基体、质膜管状突起和由它们产生的小泡。也有一些液泡泡状内含物出现在解体叶绿体附近。前者主要来自内质网、高尔基体和质膜,后者则主要起源于解体的叶绿体。这种泡状内含物的形成可能与增强植物的抗冻性有关。

侵染细胞中一种内含物的组化研究

在大豆根瘤中有一种非常特殊的细胞质内含物，只存在于侵染细胞中，一个细胞通常只有一个，一般位于细胞的外周部分，常常靠近胞间隙。这种内含物通常为圆形，其直径在１－２μｍ之间，主要由颗粒状物质，管状和泡状成分组成。它经甲苯胺蓝Ｏ染色后呈深蓝色，苏丹黑Ｂ染色后呈深黑色，考马斯蓝染色后呈蓝色，因此它不是类聚核糖核蛋白体，也不是一般的蛋白体和脂滴或脂质体，而可能是一种蛋白质和脂的复合物。其作用可能与共生固氮中     

Proteome Analysis of Enriched Heterocysts from Two Hydrogenase Mutants from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

Cyanobacteria are oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryotes and play a crucial role in the Earth's carbon and nitrogen cycles. The photoautotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in heterocysts and produce hydrogen as a byproduct through a nitrogenase. In order to improve hydrogen production, mutants from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 are constructed by inactivation of the uptake hydrogenase (ΔhupL) and the bidirectional hydrogenase (ΔhoxH) in previous studies. Here the proteomic differences of enriched heterocysts between these mutants cultured in N₂‐fixing conditions are investigated. Using a label‐free quantitative proteomics approach, a total of 2728 proteins are identified and it is found that 79 proteins are differentially expressed in the ΔhupL and 117 proteins in the ΔhoxH variant. The results provide for the first time comprehensive information on proteome regulation of the uptake hydrogenase and the bidirectional hydrogenase, as well as systematic data on the hydrogen related metabolism in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120.     

Organization of the hupDEAB genes within the hydrogenase gene cluster of Anabaena sp. strain PCC7120

A 15-kb DNA fragment containing a cluster of hup genes has been identified and cloned from Anabaena sp. strain PCC7120. These genes are located upstream of the hupL gene in the adjacent fragment in the Anabaena chromosome. Sequence analysis of a 3.5-kb HindIII fragment showed the sequence of hupEAB and a part of the hupD gene, all of which showed high sequence similarity with hyp genes of Escherichia coli and hup genes of several nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These genes are oriented in one direction, as are the hup genes of other organisms. Although the Anabaena hupDEAB genes are in the same cluster as the hypABCDE cluster of E. coli, the relative positions of the genes differ and there is no hupC in Anabaena on either side of hupA or hupB. Unlike several other organisms, hupD and hupE are not closely linked or translationally coupled in Anabaena, but are separated by an intergenic space of 453 bp. RT-PCR analysis of RNA obtained from vegetative cells and heterocysts of Anabaena showed that the hupB gene is expressed only in heterocyst-induced cultures.

鱼腥蓝细菌PCC7120铁吸收机制

铁离子是鱼腥蓝细菌PCC7120进行呼吸作用、光合作用和固氮作用中相关酶的重要辅基之一,缺铁将严重影响蓝细菌的生存.富氧的生态环境中铁通常以不溶的Fe3+形式存在,不易被细胞吸收利用.低铁条件下,鱼腥蓝细菌PCC7120分泌能螯合铁离子的嗜铁素,通过外膜上相应的转运体将嗜铁素-铁复合物转运到细胞内.综述了近年来在嗜铁素的种类及其生物合成途径、铁吸收系统的组成和功能等方面的最新进展,分析了铁吸收系统的调控机制,为进一步开展鱼腥蓝细菌铁吸收机制的研究提供依据.     

Growth and phage resistance of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 in the presence of cyanophage AN-15

The cyanophage AN-15 was found to have a requirement for either 1 mM calcium or 1 mM magnesium ions to maintain viral stability, whereas 1 mM calcium ions alone were essential for the infection process to proceed in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. Following prolonged incubation, phage-resistant cells were detected at a high frequency (approximately 10-⁵) in lysates, as either renewed growth in liquid cultures, or as colonies in confluently lysed lawns. Southern hybridisation failed to detect AN-15 DNA in any of the resistant strains, implying that resistance is unlikely to be due to the presence of temperate phages. A high rate of spontaneous mutation is therefore likely to be the cause of resistance. Two classes of resistant cells were identified; those in which AN-15 failed to attach to host cells, and those in which attachment occurred, but subsequent replication was defective. However, it was possible to overcome phage resistance by the isolation of spontaneous mutants of AN-15, capable of infecting phage-resistant cells. These observations imply that if cyanophages are to be assessed as a means of controlling cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater bodies, the ionic (notably calcium) concentration of the water must be considered, together with the possible need to employ alternative cyanophage strains if resistance to the original one arises.

生物反应器培养转基因鱼腥藻的研究

在反应器中研究了转人TNF-α基因鱼腥藻7120(Anabaena sp．PCC7120,pDC-TNF)的培养。结果表明气升式反应器适合于转基因鱼腥藻的培养。气升式反应器中通气量和光照是主要的影响因素,观察到1L罐中最适通气量为60～75L／h,最适光照强度为1200lx,此时在25℃混养,光照时间／黑暗时间为12h／12h,15d生物量干重大于3g／L,TNF表达水平约占总可溶蛋白的22％,达到了摇瓶培养水平。实验发现添加维生素B1 300μg／L、B12 200μg／L和生物素4μg／L时,生产周期为12d,缩短20％,表达水平相同。培养过程通入含有5％CO2的空气,能促进生长,缩短生产周期,但收获生物量不受影响。从添加维生素和通入CO2的培养结果证明反应器中培养时,光照是限制性因素,当反应器系统一定时,最终生物量有一个最大值,如需进一步提高产量,必须设法改变光照系统。     

Characterization of HetR protein turnover in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

The hetR gene plays an important role in heterocyst development and pattern formation in heterocystous cyanobacteria. The hetR gene from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Antibodies raised against the recombinant HetR protein (rHetR) were used to characterize metabolism of the HetR of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 in vivo. HetR was present at a low level when Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 was grown in the presence of combined nitrogen. Shifting from nitrogen repletion conditions to nitrogen depletion conditions led to a two fold increase of HetR in total cell extracts, and most of HetR was located in heterocysts. The amount of HetR in total cellular extracts increased rapidly after shifting to nitrogen depletion conditions and reached a maximum level 3 h after the shift. Isoelectrofocusing electrophoresis revealed that the native HetR had a more acidic isoelectric point than did rHetR. After combined nitrogen was added to the nitrogen-depleted cultures, the degradation of HetR depended on culture conditions: before heterocysts were fully developed, HetR was rapidly degraded; after heterocysts were fully developed, HetR was degraded much more slowly. The distribution of HetR in other species of cyanobacteria was also studied. Received: 24 June 1997 / Accepted: 5 December 1997     

Cell Envelope Components Influencing Filament Length in the Heterocyst-Forming Cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120

Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria grow as chains of cells (known as trichomes or filaments) that can be hundreds of cells long. The filament consists of individual cells surrounded by a cytoplasmic membrane and peptidoglycan layers. The cells, however, share a continuous outer membrane, and septal proteins, such as SepJ, are important for cell-cell contact and filament formation. Here, we addressed a possible role of cell envelope components in filamentation, the process of producing and maintaining filaments, in the model cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. We studied filament length and the response of the filaments to mechanical fragmentation in a number of strains with mutations in genes encoding cell envelope components. Previously published peptidoglycan- and outer membrane-related gene mutants and strains with mutations in two genes (all5045 and alr0718) encoding class B penicillin-binding proteins isolated in this work were used. Our results show that filament length is affected in most cell envelope mutants, but the filaments of alr5045 and alr2270 gene mutants were particularly fragmented. All5045 is a dd-transpeptidase involved in peptidoglycan elongation during cell growth, and Alr2270 is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of lipid A, a key component of lipopolysaccharide. These results indicate that both components of the cell envelope, the murein sacculus and the outer membrane, influence filamentation. As deduced from the filament fragmentation phenotypes of their mutants, however, none of these elements is as important for filamentation as the septal protein SepJ.
