【目的】β-1,4-木聚糖酶是木聚糖降解的关键酶之一,嗜冷嗜酸木聚糖酶在功能性低聚木糖的制备中具有重要作用,但相关报道较少。【方法】从太平洋火色杆菌(Flammeovirga pacifica)菌株WPAGA1基因组发掘到一条新型的木聚糖酶序列,经基因合成、质粒构建和表达,并对其进行分离纯化及酶学性质研究。【结果】该木聚糖酶(Xyl4513)具有2个保守结构域,一个属于糖苷水解酶11家族(glycoside hydrolase family 11,GH11)催化模块(Xyl4513-T),另一个属于碳水化合物结合模块(carbohydrate-binding module,CBM)60家族(CBM4513),这是一种非常罕见的GH11家族木聚糖酶含有CBM的现象。纯化后的Xyl4513最适反应温度和pH值分别为30℃、3.0,这一特性说明Xyl4513为嗜冷嗜酸β-1,4-木聚糖酶;而截短的木聚糖酶Xyl4513-T最适反应温度和pH值分别为20℃、4.0,且催化效率(kcat/Km)较前者下降了20%,说明CBM4513对酶稳定性和催化效率有较大影响。Ca^(2+)、Mg2+和Ni2+对酶催化活性均有明显促进作用,其中Ca^(2+)效果更为明显。仅当含有Ca^(2+)时,CBM4513才对β-1,4-木聚糖具有特异性结合能力,属于Ca^(2+)依赖型CBM,其最大结合量为9.13μmol/g。【结论】本文获得了一种新型的嗜冷嗜酸木聚糖酶和相应的Ca^(2+)依赖型CBM,进一步丰富了它们的基因和蛋白资源。     

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.
