真鲷野生群体和人工繁殖群体的同酶遗传差异

采用水平淀粉凝胶电泳技术对采集于黄海海州湾海域的真鲷野生群体和经过 2代人工繁育的养殖群体进行了同工酶遗传变异研究。分析检测了 2个群体各 50个样本肌肉和肝脏组织的 1 3种同工酶共 2 0个基因位点 ,其中MDH_a、GPI、PGM等 1 0个位点为多态位点 ,ME和EST_b为变异程度比较高的位点。野生群体和人工繁殖群体的多态位点比例分别为 45%和 2 5% (P0 .95) ;群体平均观察杂合度分别为 0 .1 41± 0 .0 4 4和 0 .0 95± 0 .0 4 3。结果表明 ,真鲷的野生群体和养殖群体拥有较高程度的遗传变异水平 ,但是养殖群体的遗传变异水平比野生群体有一定程度的降低。养殖群体遗传变异水平的降低在一定程度上是由于亲鱼数量少所致。比较了同工酶分析和RAPD分析的结果。将此两种技术相结合在鱼类群体遗传多样性分析中具有比较实际的意义。     

一次淀粉凝胶电泳同时测定猪六种血清蛋白质多态性的简便方法

自从Smithies1955年发明淀粉凝胶电泳分离技术以来,国外已广泛应用此技术研究血清蛋白、乳蛋白、卵清蛋白和同功酶的多态性。而且在方法上不断改进,一次淀粉凝胶电泳所能测定的蛋白质种数也不断增加,由最初的一两种蛋白质增加到现在的五种蛋白质。我国在这方面的研究起步较晚。一些学者发现国产马铃薯淀粉用作凝胶电泳支持物效果不好,而进口水解淀粉价格昂贵,大量使用受到限制。为了解决这个问题,作者参考有关文献资料,结合自己的实验体会加以改进,建立了用国产马铃薯淀粉,一次淀粉凝胶电泳同时测定猪转铁蛋白(Tf)、血液结合素(Hpx)、前白蛋白(Pa)、后自蛋白(Po)、铜蓝蛋白(Cp)、淀粉酶(Am)、多态性的简便方法。     

粉末X射线衍射图谱计算植物淀粉结晶度方法的探讨

植物淀粉有A-型、B-型和C-型3种晶体。以水稻(Oryza sativa)、马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum)、豌豆(Pisum sativum) 和莲藕(Nelumbo nucifera)淀粉为材料, 利用粉末X-射线衍射仪(XRD)调查了不同晶体类型淀粉的波谱特征, 探讨XRD波谱相对结晶度的计算方法。软件峰拟合法、软件曲线法、直线作图法和曲线作图法均可用于计算淀粉XRD波谱的相对结晶度, 以曲线作图法计算结果较为可靠。利用曲线作图法得出的结果表明, 稻米淀粉的结晶度与直链淀粉含量呈显著线性负相关, 酸解莲藕淀粉的结晶度与淀粉酸水解度呈显著线性正相关。酸水解使莲藕淀粉的C-型晶体转变为A-型晶体。上述研究结果为利用XRD分析植物淀粉晶体类型和计算相对结晶度提供了重要参考。

Production and Characteristics of Raw-Potato-Starch-Digesting alpha-Amylase from Bacillus subtilis 65

A newly isolated bacterium, identified as Bacillus subtilis 65, was found to produce raw-starch-digesting alpha-amylase. The electrophoretically homogeneous preparation of enzyme (molecular weight, 68,000) digested and solubilized raw corn starch to glucose and maltose with small amounts of maltooligosaccharides ranging from maltotriose to maltoheptaose. This enzyme was different from other amylases and could digest raw potato starch almost as fast as it could corn starch, but it showed no adsorbability onto any kind of raw starch at any pH. The mixed preparation with Endomycopsis glucoamylase synergistically digested raw potato starch to glucose at 30 degrees C. The raw-potato-starch-digesting alpha-amylase showed strong digestibility to small substrates, which hydrolyzed maltotriose to maltose and glucose, and hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl maltoside to p-nitrophenol and maltose, which is different from the capability of bacterial liquefying alpha-amylase.     

Differential inhibition of branching enzyme in a morphological mutant and in wild type Neurospora. Influence of carbon source in the growth medium.

1. A morphological mutant of Neurospora crassa, smco 9, (R2508) that exhibits colonial morphology when grown on sucrose or on maltose, showed a partial reversal of this morphology toward that of the wild type when it was grown on potato starch or on isomaltose. 2. A common feature of both potato starch and isomaltose is the presence of alpha-1, 6 glucosidic linkages. This suggested that these morphological effects might be due to differences in alpha-1,4 glucan: alpha-1,4 glucan 6 glycosyltransferase, (EC 2.4.1.18) commonly known as "the branching enzyme". 3. The branching enzyme was purified from wild type, Neurospora crassa, and from the semicolonial mutant, R2508, both grown on sucrose or on potato starch. It has a molecular weight of 140,000 as estimated by gel filtration on a Bio Gel A 1.5 m column. This enzyme plus phosphorylase a in an unprimed reaction catalyzes the synthesis of a branched polysaccharide in vitro. 4. No branching enzyme activity was apparent in extracts of the mutant R2508, grown on potato starch until a thermolabile inhibitor was removed by fractionation on a DEAE column. 5. This inhibitor has a molecular weight greater than 100,000 as estimated on a P-100 polyacrylamide gel column. The specificity of the inhibitor is not absolute in that it inhibits glycogen synthetase in addition to the branching enzyme in Neurospora.

The raw-potato-starch-digesting α-amylase showed strong digestibility to small substrates, which hydrolyzed maltotriose to maltose and glucose, and hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl maltoside to p-nitrophenol and maltose, which is different from the capability of bacterial liquefying α-amylase.     

Purification and Properties of Wall-bound α-Glucosidase from Suspension-cultured Rice Cells

Wall-bound α-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) has been solubilized from suspension-cultured rice cells with Sumyzyme C and Pectolyase Y-23 and isolated by a procedure including fractionation with ammonium sulfate, Sephadex G-100 column chromatography, CM-cellulose column chroma-tography, Sephadex G-200 column chromatography, and preparative disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 64,000. The enzyme readily hydrolyzed maltose, maltotriose, and amylose, but hydrolyzed isomaltose and soluble starch more slowly. The Michaelis constant for maltose of the enzyme was estimated to be 0.272 mm. The enzyme produced panose as the main α- glucosyltransferred product from maltose.     

Production and Characteristics of Raw Starch-Digesting Glucoamylase O from a Protease-Negative, Glycosidase-Negative Aspergillus awamori var. kawachi Mutant

Production of a raw starch-digesting glucoamylase O (GA O) by protease-negative, glycosidase-negative mutant strain HF-15 of Aspergillus awamori var. kawachi was undertaken under submerged culture conditions. The purified GA O was electrophoretically homogeneous and similar to the parent glucoamylase I (GA I) in the hydrolysis curves toward gelatinized potato starch, raw starch, and glycogen and in its thermostability and pH stability, but it was different in molecular weight and carbohydrate content (250,000 and 24.3% for GA O, 90,000 and ca. 7% for GA I, respectively). The chitin-bound GA O hydrolyzed raw starch but the chitin-bound GA I failed to digest raw starch because chitin was adsorbed at the raw starch affinity site of the GA I molecule. The removal of the raw starch affinity site of GA O with subtilisin led to the formation of a modified GA O (molecular weight, 170,000), which hydrolyzed glycogen 100%, similar to GA O and GA I, and was adsorbed onto chitin and fungal cell wall but not onto raw starch, Avicel, or chitosan. The modified GA I (molecular weight, 83,000) derived by treatment with substilisin hydrolyzed glycogen up to only 80% and failed to be adsorbed onto any of the above polysaccharides. The N-bromosuccinimide-oxidized GA O lost its activity toward gelatinized and raw starches, but the abilities to be adsorbed onto raw starch and chitin were preserved. It was thus suggested that both the raw starch affinity site essential for raw starch digestion and the chitin-binding site specific for the binding with chitin in the cell wall could be different from the active site, located in the three respective positions in the GA O molecule.     

Starch self-processing in transgenic sweet potato roots expressing a hyperthermophilic α-amylase

Sweet potato is a major crop in the southeastern United States, which requires few inputs and grows well on marginal land. It accumulates large quantities of starch in the storage roots and has been shown to give comparable or superior ethanol yields to corn per cultivated acre in the southeast. Starch conversion to fermentable sugars (i.e., for ethanol production) is carried out at high temperatures and requires the action of thermostable and thermoactive amylolytic enzymes. These enzymes are added to the starch mixture impacting overall process economics. To address this shortcoming, the gene encoding a hyperthermophilic α-amylase from Thermotoga maritima was cloned and expressed in transgenic sweet potato, generated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation, to create a plant with the ability to self-process starch. No significant enzyme activity could be detected below 40°C, but starch in the transgenic sweet potato storage roots was readily hydrolyzed at 80°C. The transgene did not affect normal storage root formation. The results presented here demonstrate that engineering plants with hyperthermophilic glycoside hydrolases can facilitate cost effective starch conversion to fermentable sugars. Furthermore, the use of sweet potato as an alternative near-term energy crop should be considered.     

Pullulanase from rice endosperm

Pullulanase (EC 3.2.1.41) in non-germinating seeds was compared with that in germinating seeds. Moreover, pullulanase from the endosperm of rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. Hinohikari) seeds was isolated and its properties investigated. The pI value of pullulanase from seeds after 8 days of germination was almost equal to that from non-germinating seeds, which shows that these two enzymes are the same protein. Therefore, the same pullulanase may play roles in both starch synthesis during ripening and starch degradation during germination in rice seeds. The enzyme was isolated by a procedure that included ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulofine column chromatography, preparative isoelectric focusing, and preparative disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was homogeneous by SDS/PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 100 000 based on its mobility on SDS/PAGE and 105 000 based on gel filtration with TSKgel super SW 3000, which showed that it was composed of a single unit. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 4.7. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by beta-cyclodextrin. The enzyme was not activated by thiol reagents such as dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol or glutathione. The enzyme most preferably hydrolyzed pullulan and liberated only maltotriose. The pullulan hydrolysis was strongly inhibited by the substrate at a concentration higher than 0.1%. The degree of inhibition increased with an increase in the concentration of pullulan. However, the enzyme hydrolyzed amylopectin, soluble starch and beta-limit dextrin more rapidly as their concentrations increased. The enzyme exhibited alpha-glucosyltransfer activity and produced an alpha-1,6-linked compound of two maltotriose molecules from pullulan.     

Interrelationships between Lactobacilli and Streptococci in Plaque Formation on a Tooth in an Artificial Mouth

Attempts to grow mixed cultures of Endomycopsis fibuligera and Candida utilis on waste material obtained from a potato processing plant were only partially successful; poor amylase production by Endomycopsis resulted in slow growth of the Candida. There was extensive conversion of starch to glucose when waste, which had been treated with a high speed shear/disintegrator, was hydrolyzed by industrial amylases derived from Aspergillus niger and Bacillus licheniformis. Growth of C. utilis on the separated liquid phase of the hydrolysate, supplemented with inorganic nitrogen, proceeded normally; the yields and growth rates were similar to those obtained with conventional substrates.     

Glucoamylase production by the marine yeast Aureobasidium pullulans N13d and hydrolysis of potato starch granules by the enzyme

Under the optimal conditions, 10 U/ml of glucoamylase was produced by the marine yeast Aureobasidium pullulans N13d. It was noticed that the crude glucoamylase actively hydrolyzed potato starch granules, but poorly digested raw corn starch and sweet potato starch, resulting in conversion of 68.5, 19 and 22% of them into glucose within 6 h of incubation in the presence of 40 g/l of potato starch granules and 20 U/ml of the crude enzyme. When potato starch granules concentration was increased from 10 to 80 g/l, hydrolysis extent was decreased from 85.6 to 60%, while potato starch granules concentration was increased from 80 to 360 g/l, hydrolysis extent was decreased from 60 to 56%. Ratio of hydrolysis extent of potato starch granules to hydrolysis extent of gelatinized potato starch was 86.0% and the hydrolysis extent of potato starch granules by action of the crude glucoamylase (1.0 U/ml) was 18.5% within 30 min at 60 °C. Only glucose was detected during the hydrolysis, indicating that the crude enzyme could hydrolyze both α-1,4 and α-1,6 linkages of starch molecule in the potato starch.     

Purification and characterization of an alpha-glucosidase from germinating millet seeds

An α-glucosidase (α-d-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.20) was isolated from germinating millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) seeds by a procedure that included ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on CM-cellulofine/Fractogel EMD SO₃, Sephacryl S-200 HR and TSK gel Phenyl-5 PW, and preparative isoelectric focusing. The enzyme was homogenous by SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 86,000 based on its mobility in SDS-PAGE and 80,000 based on gel filtration with TSKgel super SW 3000, which showed that it was composed of a single unit. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 8.3. The enzyme readily hydrolyzed maltose, malto-oligosaccharides, and α-1,4-glucan, but hydrolyzed polysaccharides more rapidly than maltose. The K_m value decreased with an increase in the molecular weight of the substrate. The value for maltoheptaose was about 4-fold lower than that for maltose. The enzyme preferably hydrolyzed amylopectin in starch, but also readily hydrolyzed nigerose, which has an α-1,3-glucosidic linkage and exists as an abnormal linkage in the structure of starch. In particular, the enzyme readily hydrolyzed millet starch from germinating seeds that had been degraded to some extent.
