体外培养的哺乳动物细胞的葡萄糖和谷氨酰胺代谢

综述体外培养哺乳动物细胞的葡萄糖和谷氨酰胺代谢。大部分的葡萄糖通过糖酵解途径为细胞提供中间代谢物质和能量 ,最终生成乳酸 ,只有很少部分进入TCA循环和磷酸戊糖途径。谷氨酰胺通过谷氨酰胺酶生成谷氨酸 ,并进一步通过谷氨酸脱氢酶或转氨酶生成α -酮戊二酸进入TCA循环 ,为细胞提供中间代谢物质和能量。糖酵解和谷氨酰胺代谢 (glutaminolysis)受葡萄糖和谷氨酰胺的影响而相互调节。

重组CHO细胞培养过程中氨对细胞代谢的影响

研究了重组CHO细胞批培养过程中,氨浓度对细胞的葡萄糖、谷氨酰胺及其它氨基酸代谢的影响。表明,细胞对葡萄糖和谷氨酰胺的得率系数随着氨浓度的增加而降低,起始氨浓度为566mmol/L的批培养过程与起始氨浓度为021mmol/L的批培养过程相比,细胞对葡萄糖和谷氨酰胺的得率系数分别下降了78%和74%,细胞对其它氨基酸的得率系数也分别下降了50%～70%。氨浓度的增加明显地改变了细胞的代谢途径,葡萄糖代谢更倾向于厌氧的乳酸生成。在谷氨酰胺的代谢过程中,谷氨酸经谷氨酸脱氢酶进一步生成α酮戊二酸的过程受到了氨的抑制,而氨对谷氨酸经谷氨酸转氨酶反应生成α酮戊二酸的过程有促进作用,但总体上谷氨酸进一步脱氨生成α酮戊二酸的反应受到了氨的限制。     

聚球藻7942混养培养中碳代谢与能量利用

为了考察聚球藻7942在混养条件下的能量利用效率,分别以葡萄糖和乙酸为碳源开展了聚球藻7942的混养培养研究,并在此基础上利用代谢通量分析方法对聚球藻7942混养条件下的碳代谢和能量利用进行了探讨。结果表明:葡萄糖和乙酸均能促进藻细胞生长,且乙酸促进藻细胞生长的作用更为明显;葡萄糖利用可明显增加藻细胞糖酵解途径中碳代谢流量,而乙酸利用则导致糖酵解途径中碳代谢流量减小,两种有机碳源均增加了柠檬酸循环中碳代谢流量;有机碳源导致藻细胞光化学效率下降,而葡萄糖较之乙酸降低藻细胞光化学效率更为明显。虽然混养条件下光能的贡献率要小于光自养,但基于能量的细胞得率和能量转换率均高于光自养,光自养和以葡萄糖、乙酸为碳源的混养中基于ATP生成的能量转换效率分别为6.81%、7.43%和8.77%。     

星形胶质细胞和神经元之间谷氨酸-谷氨酰胺的代谢偶联

谷氨酸-谷氨酰胺循环是星形胶质细胞和神经元代谢偶联最重要的途径之一。在中枢神经系统中葡萄糖经糖酵解和三羧酸循环,合成三羧酸循环的中间产物。神经元因缺乏丙酮酸羧化酶,不能由葡萄糖直接合成谷氨酸,而必须依赖于星形胶质细胞的三羧酸循环来产生作为谷氨酸前体的三羧酸循环中间代谢产物。星形胶质细胞的谷氨酸载体从突触间隙摄取谷氨酸,在星形胶质细胞中转变成谷氨酰胺并释放到细胞外,然后重新被神经元摄取,转变成谷氨酸进入新一轮的循环。本文介绍了该循环,以及星形胶质细胞谷氨酸载体的功能、特性及调控。     

添加TCA循环中间产物加速光滑球拟酵母积累丙酮酸

在维生素限制的条件下,研究了添加TCA循环中间产物对光滑球拟酵母多重维生素营养缺陷型菌株CCTCC M202019生长和积累丙酮酸的影响。该菌株能以TCA循环中间产物为唯一碳源进行生长,且在以葡萄糖、乙酸和TCA循环中间产物为复合碳源的平板上菌落数高于分别以葡萄糖和乙酸或TCA循环中间产物为唯一碳源时的菌落数。与其它TCA循环中间产物相比,草酰乙酸更能促进细胞的生长、提高丙酮酸产量和对葡萄糖的得率。草酰乙酸能够促进细胞生长,是因为T. glabrata CCTCC M202019菌株能够利用乙酸作为乙酰辅酶A供体。在含有100 g/L葡萄糖和6 g/L乙酸钠的培养基中再添加10 g/L草酰乙酸进行分批发酵实验,可使菌体浓度从11.8 g/L提高到 13.6 g/L,增长幅度为15%;丙酮酸对葡萄糖的得率(0.66 g/g)以及生产强度(1.19 g·L^{-1<、sup>·h-1<、sup>)分别高出6%和24%,使发酵结束时间提前8～12h。}

酿酒酵母对数生长后期代谢重构的全基因组表达谱芯片分析

为了探讨酵母进入对数生长后期以后酒精生产速度降低的原因, 我们利用酵母表达谱芯片技术对酿酒酵母细胞从对数生长中期进入对数生长后期时的全基因组表达谱进行了分析, 发现酵母在对数生长中期的表达谱非常稳定, 而一旦进入对数生长后期, 则出现明显的代谢重构现象。许多氨基酸合成和代谢相关的基因、离子转移以及与能量的生成和储存等功能相关的基因出现了不同程度的上调; 而许多涉及酵母转座和DNA重组的基因则表达下调; 一些中心代谢途径也发生了代谢重构, 包括: 琥珀酸和a-酮戊二酸生成途径基因的一致上调, 都与氨基酸合成和代谢相关基因表达的结果相吻合。结果表明: 由于氨基酸合成的需求量增加, 进入对数生长后期酵母的代谢转向TCA循环和乙醛酸循环, 导致酒精的生产速率降低。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
