吉林双阳型梅花鹿sentrin/SUMO的发现

为了确定梅花鹿未知的编码区cDNA,我们利用TaKaRa公司的cDNA 合成试剂盒及PCR cDNA文库试剂盒,构建了吉林双阳型梅花鹿子宫PCR cDNA文库。将文库的PCR产物克隆入pGEM-Teasy载体并进行测序后,应用BLAST网络服务对测得的序列在GenBank数据库中进行同源性比较。结果显示构建的PCR cDNA文库中包含有不同长度的cDNA片段,而且自该文库中我们发现了一与人sentrin-1/SUMO-1（small ubiquitin-related modifier 1）高度同源的全编码区cDNA序列。此序列已在Genbank登录,登录号为AF 242526。这说明我们自梅花鹿子宫PCR cDNA文库中发现了梅花鹿的sentrin/SUMO基因。 Abstract: In order to identify unknown encoding cDNAs of Cervus nioppon Temminck (sika deer),we constructed a cDNA library of uterus from Jilin-Shuangyang Cervus nippon Temminck using PCR cDNA library kit.PCR products of the library were cloned into pGEM-Teasy vectors and the cDNAs were sequenced and analyzed by nucleotide homology comparison against GenBank Database using the BLAST network service.The results showed that the cDNA library contained cDNA fragments of different lengths and a full length encoding cDNA highly homologous to human sentrin-1/SUMO-1 (small ubiquitin-related modifier 1) was identified.The cDNA was deposited in GenBank under the accession number AF 242526.These show that Cervus nippon Temminck-derived sentrin/SUMO gene has been discovered from PCR cDNA library of uterus from Cervus nippon Temminck.     

用RACE结合cDNA文库筛选的方法获取新的锌指蛋白基因

大多数有重要功能的蛋白质都含相应的由保守氨基酸顺序组成的功能结构域。本文首先根据蛋白质功能结构域保守氨基酸序列设计简并引物,用PCR方法扩增出基因EST序列,再利用改进的快速扩增cDNA末端（RACE）方法从cDNA文库中扩增出基因非同源部位,然后以非同源序列为探针,筛选cDNA文库。利用此方法成功地从人骨髓cDNA文库中克隆到几个编码锌指蛋白并代表原有EST的新的全长cDNA。这一策略也应适用于筛选编码具有其他序列保守性功能结构域蛋白的基因。 Abstract:Most of the important functionally proteins contain the corresponding function domains that consist of conserved amino acid sequences.The study provided a method to identify novel genes that encode proteins containing important functionally domains with conserved sequences.First,primers were designed according to the sequence of the cDNA library vector and the ESTs that have been obtained by reverse PCR and degenerate primers encoding Zinc finger domain.The cDNA library DNA was used as template for PCR amplification.The amplified fragment that contains nonhomologous sequences of the cDNA was inserted into pGEM-T easy vector.The fragment was recovered and used as a probe for screening the cDNA library.Several cDNAs with full length that encode proteins with Zinc finger domain and represent the original ESTs have been successfully cloned from a human bone marrow cDNA library.This strategy can also be used in screening genes that encode proteins containing differential function domains with conserved sequences.

利用本室创建的限制性显示技术RD-PCR,建立的cDNA文库,我们称之为限制性cDNA文库。该方法构建的文库因经过了限制性分组扩增,每组均含有特定的cDNA,因而大大加快了随后克隆的分离和鉴定的速度。 Abstract:A kind of cDNA library constructed according to Restriction Display PCR(RD-PCR) technology setup in our lab,which was called restriction cDNA library,was introduced in this paper.In the construction of cDNA library,cDNA was digested with restriction endonuclease,linked with special adaptor,amplified with PCR in groups.Each group of the restriction cDNA library contained special cDNAs.The method greatly reduced the repetitive frequency and accelerated the speed of identification.     

与抑制K562细胞向红系分化相关的Attractin基因的分离和初步鉴定

应用差异显示PCR（DDRT-PCR）方法分离野生型K562细胞株和能表达人β－珠蛋白基因的变种K562细胞株的4个差异cDNA片段,序列测定后,挑选差异最明显的片段dd1,经过RT-PCR、Northern 印迹鉴定确实为两株细胞间的差异片段,测序后经同源性分析等,发现其所对应的基因是吸引素（Attractin,GenBank注册号AF106861）。 根据其结构预测,Attractin有可能是K562 细胞表面一个黏附因子受体,与抑制K562细胞向红系分化有关。 Abstract:Differential display PCR method was used to isolate four differential display fragments between the wild type K562 cell line and the variant type K562 cell line that expressed the human β-globin gene.After sequencing,the most remarkable different fragment,named dd1,was selected for further study.The analysis of RT-PCR and Northern blot hybridization showed that dd1 was exactly the differentiation fragment between the two cell lines.The homology analysis indicated that dd1 was matched to Attractin (GeneBank registration No.AF106861).It might be an adhesion receptor related to inhibiting erythroid differentiation based on its structure.     

Investigation of the mechanism of temperature sensitivity of the electroreceptors of ampullae of lorenzini

In experiments on Black Sea skates (Raja clavata), the potential of the receptor epithelium of the ampullae of Lorenzini and spike activity of single nerve fibers connected to them were investigated during electrical and temperature stimulation. Usually the potential within the canal was between 0 and –2 mV, and the input resistance of the ampulla 250–400 k. Heating of the region of the receptor epithelium was accompanied by a negative wave of potential, an increase in input resistance, and inhibition of spike activity. With worsening of the animal's condition the transepithelial potential became positive (up to +10 mV) but the input resistance of the ampulla during stimulation with a positive current was nonlinear in some cases: a regenerative spike of positive polarity appeared in the channel. During heating, the spike response was sometimes reversed in sign. It is suggested that fluctuations of the transepithelial potential and spike responses to temperature stimulation reflect changes in the potential difference on the basal membrane of the receptor cells, which is described by a relationship of the Nernst's or Goldman's equation type.I.

Principles of organization and evolution of systems of regulation of functions

Evolution of living organisms is closely connected with evolution of structure of the system of regulations and its mechanisms. The functional ground of regulations is chemical signalization. As early as in unicellular organisms there is a set of signal mechanisms providing their life activity and orientation in space and time. Subsequent evolution of ways of chemical signalization followed the way of development of delivery pathways of chemical signal and development of mechanisms of its regulation. The mechanism of chemical regulation of the signal interaction is discussed by the example of the specialized system of transduction of signal from neuron to neuron, of effect of hormone on the epithelial cell and modulation of this effect. These mechanisms are considered as the most important ways of the fine and precise adaptation of chemical signalization underlying functioning of physiological systems and organs of the living organism
