Efficient transformation of leaf disc-derived callus of Codonopsis lanceolata was obtained using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring a binary vector, pYBI121, that carries the neomycin phosphotransferase (npt II) gene as a selectable marker. The green shoots recovered from agroinfected explants on selection medium (containing 0.1 mg/l
α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 1 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 100 mg/l kanamycin, and 250 mg/l cefotaxime) were rooted
on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2 mg/l IBA and 10 mg/l kanamycin. To optimize the transformation conditions,
several factors were assessed, including the co-cultivation period, the duration of pre- and post-culture in darkness and
light, the kanamycin concentration, and the Agrobacterium densities. We produced transgenic Codonopsis lanceolata overexpressing γ-tocopherol methyltransferase (γ-TMT) by this protocol. Moreover, the α-tocopherol content of the plants was enhanced by the overexpression of this gene.

Previously, we have described the use of phage display to generate high affinity disulfide bond-linked T cell receptors (TCRs).
The affinities of the mutant TCRs were analysed after refolding of separately expressed α and β chains from Escherichia coli inclusion bodies. This approach is only suitable for the analysis of small numbers of TCR variants. An attractive alternative
would be soluble expression within the bacterial periplasm, but the generic production of TCRs within the E. coli periplasm has so far not proved successful. Here we show that functional, soluble TCR can be produced within the cytoplasm
of trxB gor mutant E. coli strains, with maximum yields of 3.4 mg/l. We also investigated the effect of coexpressing the folding modulators Skp and
DsbC finding that the TCR expression levels were largely unaffected by these chaperones. Importantly, we demonstrated that
the amount of protein purified from 50 ml starter cultures was sufficient to show functionality of the TCR by specific antigen
binding in both ELISA and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays. This TCR production method has the potential to allow rapid
and medium throughput analysis of affinity-matured TCRs selected from TCR phage display libraries. 相似文献

The menadione reductase (MNR), the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (NDH) and diaphorase (DIA) isozymes were
studied in the allohexaploid Triticum aestivum cv ”Chinese Spring” and in five diploid Triticeae species. The Mnr1, Ndh3 and Dia1 loci were located on the chromosome arms 3AL, 3BL and 3DL of T. aestivum, respectively. These loci were also located on the 3H chromosome of Hordeum vulgare cv ”Betzes”, the 3L chromosome of Aegilops longissima and the 6RL chromosome arm of Secale cereale cv ”Imperial”. The chromosomal location results together with the segregation studies support a tetrameric behaviour of the
MNR1, NDH3 and DIA1 isozymes. The Ndh1 and Dia3 loci were located on homoeologous group 4 showing a monomeric behaviour. The chromosomal locations and linkage data of the
Mnr, Ndh and Dia loci suggest that Mnr1=Ndh3=Dia1; Ndh1=Dia3 and Ndh2=Dia2.

Background
The presence of β-lactamases in Y. enterocolitica has been reported to vary with serovars, biovars and geographical origin of the isolates. An understanding of the β-lactamases in other related species is important for an overall perception of antibiotic resistance in yersiniae. The objective of this work was to study the characteristics of β-lactamases and their genes in strains of Y. intermedia and Y. frederiksenii, isolated from clinical and non-clinical sources in India. 相似文献7.

Graptolites from the Jaeger collection at the Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin, Germany) provide important information on structural
details of Silurian (Wenlock–Ludlow) retiolitids as well as for the biostratigraphic and biogeographic distribution of these
magnificent graptolites. Species of the genera Cometograptus, Spinograptus and Plectograptus are described from isolated glacial boulder material, collected in northern Germany and from shale specimens found in the
Lower Graptolite Shale of Thuringia. The biostratigraphic placement of material derived from glacial erratic boulders, however,
is far from being precise. The fauna associated with the neotype of Plectograptus macilentus in the ‘Unterer Graptolithenschiefer’ of Thuringia is discussed and illustrated. Cometograptus alfeisenacki from the Cyrtograptus lundgreni Biozone is recognized as a new species. The genus is discovered for the first time in North German glacial erratic boulders. 相似文献

Different lines of cell suspension cultures of Taxus × media Rehd. and Taxus floridana Nutt. were cryopreserved with a two-step freezing method using a simple and inexpensive freezing container instead of a programmable
freezer. Four to seven days old suspension cell cultures were precultured in growth medium supplemented with 0.5 M mannitol
for 2 d. The medium was then replaced with cryoprotectant solution (1 M sucrose, 0.5 M glycerol and 0.5 M dimethylsulfoxide)
and the cells incubated on ice for 1 h. Before being plunged into liquid nitrogen, cells were frozen with a cooling rate of
approximately −1 °C per min to −80 °C. The highest post-thaw cell viability was 90 %. The recovery was line dependent. The
cryopreservation procedure did not alter the nuclear DNA content of the cell lines. The results indicate that cryopreservation
of Taxus cell suspension cultures using inexpensive freezing container is possible. 相似文献

Background
Thymosin α1 (Tα1), a 28-amino acid N α -acetylated peptide, has a powerful general immunostimulating activity. Although biosynthesis is an attractive means of large-scale manufacture, to date, Tα1 can only be chemosynthesized because of two obstacles to its biosynthesis: the difficulties in expressing small peptides and obtaining N α -acetylation. In this study, we describe a novel production process for N α -acetylated Tα1 in Escherichia coli. 相似文献10.
TNFalpha and TNFbeta, or linfotoxin (LTalpha), are two molecules playing an important role in inflammation. Their genes map on Chromosome 6, between the HLA class II and class I loci. Polymorphisms in, or near, TNF genes have been associated with susceptibility to several autoimmune diseases. Studies of TNF genes in celiac disease (CD) have presented contradictory results. We have assessed the role of TNFalpha and linfotoxin alpha (TNFbeta) in CD and their relative value as CD markers in addition to the presence of DQ2. The TNFA -308 polymorphism and the polymorphism at the first intron of the LTA gene were typed in CD patients and healthy controls and the results were correlated with the presence of DQ2. Significant differences were found in genotype and allele frequencies for the TNFA and LTA genes between CD patients and controls, with an increase in the presence of the TNFA*2 and LTA*1 alleles in CD patients. These differences increase when DQ2-positive CD patients and DQ2-positive controls are compared. In DQ2-positive individuals, allele 2 (A) in position -308 of the promoter of TNFA and allele 1 (G) of the NcoI RFLP in the first intron of LTA are additional risk markers for CD. 相似文献

Two extracellular enzymes (MsP1 and MsP2) capable of efficient β-carotene degradation were purified from culture supernatants
of the basidiomycete Marasmius scorodonius (garlic mushroom). Under native conditions, the enzymes exhibited molecular masses of ~150 and ~120 kDa, respectively. SDS-PAGE
and mass spectrometric data suggested a composition of two identical subunits for both enzymes. Biochemical characterisation
of the purified proteins showed isoelectric points of 3.7 and 3.5, and the presence of heme groups in the active enzymes.
Partial amino acid sequences were derived from N-terminal Edman degradation and from mass spectrometric ab initio sequencing of internal peptides. cDNAs of 1,604 to 1,923 bp, containing open reading frames (ORF) of 508 to 513 amino acids,
respectively, were cloned from a cDNA library of M. scorodonius. These data suggest glycosylation degrees of ~23% for MsP1 and 8% for MsP2. Databank homology searches revealed sequence
homologies of MsP1 and MsP2 to unusual peroxidases of the fungi Thanatephorus cucumeris (DyP) and Termitomyces albuminosus (TAP). 相似文献

The blattisociid mite Lasioseius floridensis Berlese was found associated with the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), on gerbera leaves in Mogi das Cruzes, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Blattisociid mites are not common on aerial plant
parts, except under high air humidity levels. Some Lasioseius species have been mentioned as effective control agents of rice pest mites, but nothing is known about the biology of L. floridensis. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the observed co-occurrence of L. floridensis and P. latus was just occasional or whether the latter could be important as food source for the former, assumed by laboratory evaluation
of the ability of the predator to maintain itself, reproduce and develop on that prey. Biological parameters of L. floridensis were compared when exposed to P. latus and to other items as food. The study showed that mating is a pre-requisite for L. floridensis to oviposit and that oviposition rate was much higher on the soil nematode Rhabditella axei (Cobbold) (Rhabditidae) than on P. latus. Ovipositon on the acarid mite Tyrophagus
putrescentiae (Schrank) was about the same as on P. latus, but it was nearly zero when the predator was fed the fungi Aspergillus
flavus Link or Penicillium sp., or cattail (Typha sp.) pollen. Survivorship was higher in the presence of pollen and lower in the presence of A.
flavus or Penicillium sp. than in the absence of those types of food. Life table parameters indicated that the predator performed much better on
R. axei than on P. latus. To evaluate the potential effect of L. floridensis as predator of P. latus, complementary studies are warranted to determine the frequency of migration of L. floridensis to aerial plant parts, when predation on P. latus could occur. 相似文献

To improve ethanol production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two yeast strains were constructed. In the mutant, KAM-4, the GPD1 gene, which encodes a glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase of S. cerevisiae to synthesize glycerol, was deleted. The mutant KAM-12 had the GLT1 gene (encodes glutamate synthase) placed under the PGK1 promoter while harboring the GPD1 deletion. Notably, overexpression of GLT1 by the PGK1 promoter along with GPD1 deletion resulted in a 10.8% higher ethanol production and a 25.0% lower glycerol formation compared to the wild type in
anaerobic fermentations. The growth rate of KAM-4 was slightly lower than that of the wild type under the exponential phase
whereas KAM-12 and the wild type were indistinguishable in the biomass concentration at the end of growth period. Meanwhile,
dramatic reduction of formation of acetate and pyruvic acid was observed in all the mutants compared to the wild type. 相似文献

Interspecific somatic hybrids between a diploid potato clone DG 81-68 susceptible to Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary and a resistant diploid tuber-bearing species Solanum × michoacanum were generated and analyzed. About 30 regenerants displaying an intermediate morphology were obtained as a result of three
separate PEG-mediated fusion experiments. The RAPD analysis confirmed the hybridity of all the regenerants. About 50% of the
hybrid plants exhibited vigorous growth and were stable in culture, while the rest of them rooted poorly and grew slowly in
vitro. Most of the hybrid clones were at the tetraploid level (70%), while 30% of the clones examined were at the hexaploid
level. The S. × michoacanum (+) DG 81-68 hybrids with growth anomalies were aneuploid. The variation in late blight resistance of the hybrid clones was
found in detached leaflet tests, with enhanced resistance characteristic for three tetraploid hybrids. 相似文献

The paper reports the whole mitochondrial genome (approximately 13 kb) sequencing in three individual representatives of the continental population of Blakiston’s fish owl Bubo blakistoni (Seebohm 1884), the IUCN Red List species in the family Strigidae. The analysis revealed extremely low mtDNA genetic diversity, which may be indicative of the critical state of the studied population. The phylogenetic analysis performed on the basis of the whole mitochondrial genome sequencing data showed that Blakiston’s fish owl is more closely related to the Strix genus than to the Bubo genus with the genetic divergence between blakistoni and either of the two genera being statistically significant and close to intergeneric level (p-distance of 0.135 in the case of the Strix genus and p-distance of 0.151 in the case of the Bubo genus). The results obtained in this work do not match the published data on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and the nuclear RAG-1 gene, which laid the basis for the assignment of Blackiston’s fish owl to the Bubo genus in the recent taxonomic bulletins, but rather support the earlier taxonomic classification according to which all four Asian forms, blakistoni, flavipes, zeylonensis, and ketupu, constituted a separate Ketupa genus. 相似文献

Morphologically identical transgenic mint (Mentha arvensis L.) with bacterial glutathione synthetase gene has been developed. Transformed plants were obtained by co-cultivation of
leaf disks with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA 4404 harbouring a binary vector pCAMBIA-CpGS that carried E. coli glutathione synthetase (GS), β-glucuronidase as reporter gene and nptII as selective marker gene for kanamycin resistance. Using a constitutive double CaMV 35S promoter and an rbcS transit peptide, we successfully addressed CpGS to the chloroplasts through pJIT 117 vector. Preculture and the presence of AS in the co-cultivation medium played a significant
role in enhancing transformation frequency. The highest transformation frequency was achieved with MS selection medium supplemented
with 25% coconut water, 1.12 mg l−1 BAP, 0.2 mg l−1 NAA, 50 mg l−1 kanamycin and 125 mg l−1 cefotaxime. Robust rooting of regenerated shoots was obtained in half-strength liquid MS medium containing 0.2 mg l−1 NAA and 50 mg l−1 kanamycin. The presence and expression of transgenes in transgenics (T0) was evidenced by GUS histoenzymatic assay, PCR and RT-PCR analysis of nptII and the gene of interest, i.e., GS of putative transgenic leaves. Chromosomal integration of GS gene was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. Transgenic plants were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse. An overall
transformation frequency of 15% was achieved in approximately 3 months of time period. These results are discussed in relation
to heavy metal trafficking pathways in higher plants and to the interest of using plastid expression of PCS for biotechnological applications.

The lipase Lip2 of the edible basidiomycete, Pleurotus sapidus, is an extracellular enzyme capable of hydrolysing xanthophyll esters with high efficiency. The gene encoding Lip2 was expressed
in Escherichia coli TOP10 using the gene III signal sequence to accumulate proteins in the periplasmatic space. The heterologous expression under
control of the araBAD promoter led to the high level production of recombinant protein, mainly as inclusion bodies, but partially
in a soluble and active form. A fusion with a C-terminal His tag was used for purification and immunochemical detection of
the target protein. This is the first example of a heterologous expression and periplasmatic accumulation of a catalytically
active lipase from a basidiomycete fungus. 相似文献

We undertook a field study to determine whether comb cell size affects the reproductive behavior of Varroa destructor under natural conditions. We examined the effect of brood cell width on the reproductive behavior of V. destructor in honey bee colonies, under natural conditions. Drone and worker brood combs were sampled from 11 colonies of Apis mellifera. A Pearson correlation test and a Tukey test were used to determine whether mite reproduction rate varied with brood cell
width. Generalized additive model analysis showed that infestation rate increased positively and linearly with the width of
worker and drone cells. The reproduction rate for viable mother mites was 0.96 viable female descendants per original invading
female. No significant correlation was observed between brood cell width and number of offspring of V. destructor. Infertile mother mites were more frequent in narrower brood cells. 相似文献
