类杆菌分类的脱氢酶系列

国外已建立了4h水解酶色原底物系列,成功地用于厌氧菌的分类与鉴定,鉴于国内的无系列水解底物,我们对厌氧菌系列脱氢酶进行了研究,以便建立一种快速鉴定系列。为此选择类杆菌的参考株作为分类单位,以不同的糖、氨基酸和有机酸的天然底物纸片与细菌完整细胞进行酶学反应,并以四唑盐受氢后以变色效应来指示酶的存在。筛选了18项脱氢底物与色氨酸、尿素一起,组成20项以检测细菌脱氢酶为主的系列,研究发现完整的菌细胞可以较好地表现底物的脱氢酶活性,酶的分布具有菌种特征,这个系列在有氧条件下,30～60min出现明显的可见反应。以4株脆类杆菌参考株进行24次重复试验,其中9项的阳性概率为0.99,7项为0.01,其它4项分别是0.03,0.125,0.5和0.66。尤其胆酸脱氢酶与常规胆汁抑制试验有较好的相关性,有可能取代厌氧菌分类中有要意义的20％胆汁抑制实验。     

A MULTILEVEL APPROACH TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GENETIC VARIATION IN ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE OF DROSOPHILA

Prior studies showed that differences in alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity across genotypes of Drosophila are decisive for the outcome of selection by ethanol. In the present paper, the effect on ADH activity and egg-to-adult survival of combinations of ethanol, propan-2-ol, and acetone in naturally occurring concentrations is examined. Propan-2-ol is converted into acetone by ADH in vitro. Acetone is considered a competitive inhibitor of ethanol for the ADH enzymes. The melanogaster-ADH-S allozyme is two times more sensitive towards inhibition by acetone than either simulans-ADH or melanogaster-ADH-F. The physiological implications of these in vitro differences for larvae were studied in short-term in vivo and long-term exposure experiments. No major differences in acetone accumulation or fitness parameters were found between the strains in response to ecologically relevant concentrations of acetone or propan-2-ol. Ethanol, however, strongly decreased egg-to-pupal survival in both Drosophila simulans strains and increased developmental time in four out of the five strains tested. Therefore, under physiological conditions only ethanol was shown to act as a selective agent on the ADH polymorphism during egg-to-pupa development in Drosophila.     

VARIATION IN ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY AND FLOOD TOLERANCE IN WHITE CLOVER,TRIFOLIUM REPENS

Flooding results in induction of anaerobic metabolism in many higher plants. As an important component of anaerobic energy production, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity increases markedly in response to flooding in white clover, Trifolium repens. Significant inter-individual variation in flood-induced ADH activity exists in natural populations of T. repens. The genetic basis of this variation was analyzed by offspring-midparent regression of data from 75 greenhouse reared families; the estimated heritability of flood-induced ADH activity was 0.55 (±0.13). Genetic variation in flood-induced ADH activity has pronounced effects on physiological response and flood tolerance in this species. ADH activity is positively correlated with the rate of ethanol production, indicating that observed in vitro activity differences are manifested in in vivo physiological function. T. repens plants with higher ADH activities during flooding have greater flood tolerance (measured as growth rate when flooded/unflooded growth rate). Variation in ADH activity during flooding accounts for more than 79% of the variance in flood tolerance. On the basis of a limited field survey of populations occupying three sites differing in exposure to flooding conditions, individuals from site C, the most frequently flooded site, expressed significantly higher average ADH activity when flooded than individuals from site A, a site with no history of flooding. Since ADH activity levels are not correlated with electrophoretic mobility variation in T. repens, this work supports previous suggestions that regulatory variation in enzyme activity may play a central role in biochemical adaptations to environmental stress.     

钙调素参与玉米线粒体琥珀酸脱氢酶活性的调节

经DEAE C-32柱纯化的玉米(Zea mays L.)线粒体琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH),用NAD激酶(NADK)法测定时,无钙调素(CaM)活性,说明不存在游离CaM;而用ELISA法测定总CaM时,却可检测到CaM。纯化的SDH加热处理后,能激活NADK,可能加热释放出游离CaM。纯化SDH的电泳分析表明,天然聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(PAGE)只显示1条主带;而SDS-PAGE则出现67.0kD、30.0kD、16.7kD 3条带,前两条带与SDH的大、小亚基分子量一致,第三条带与CaM电泳迁移率一致。上述结果说明CaM可能与SDH处于结合状态,而且其活性受CaM调节。     

高原鼠兔和高原鼢鼠乳酸脱氢酶同工酶的初步研究

比较异种生物同工酶(Isoenzyme)能从分子水平阐明物种的多样性。近年来,不少学者对许多动物的同工酶进行广泛而深入的研究(Masters 1975,Markert,1975)。其中对乳酸脱氢酶(以下简称LDH)的研究最为详尽(Everse等,1973,Moss,1982)。乳酸脱氢酶同工酶是由H(或B),M(或A)2种亚基组成的一组四聚体分子。H,M亚基分别受不同基因位点控制,并按不同比例组成5种不同的同工酶。

RARER NEED NOT BE BETTER IF COMMONER IS WORSE: FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT SELECTION FOR DEVELOPMENTAL TIME AT THE ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE LOCUS OF THE OLIVE FRUIT FLY,BACTROCERA OLEAE

Whereas the importance of frequency-dependent selection in life-history traits, behavioral characters and source allocation patterns is widely accepted, its role in governing biochemical and molecular polymorphisms remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate a case of allozyme frequency-dependent selection. When olive fruit flies (Bactrocera oleae) are reared on an artificial larval medium, an allele at the alcohol dehydrogenase locus that is present in very low frequency in natural populations increases to about one-third in less than five generations. We show here that the time from the hatching of the egg to the eclosion of the adult is affected by the genotype composition of the larval population that grows in the same cup of food. Cultures consisting of one genotype only have the longest developmental time, and two-allele cultures in which the two homozygotes and the heterozygote occur in a 1:1:2 ratio show the shortest developmental time. Cultures with intermediate genotypic compositions show intermediate levels of developmental time. The results can be explained by assuming that the developmental time of a genotype depends on the frequency array of all genotypes in the larval population and is not merely a function of its own frequency. It is even possible that the developmental time of a genotype becomes longer as the genotype becomes rarer, yet the genotype will be favored because the developmental times of the competing genotypes become even longer owing to the associated increase of their frequencies. Given that developmental time is inversely related to fitness, this generates a frequency-dependent selection, with developmental times changing progressively until the population arrives at an equilibrium. One optimum population composition that provides a satisfactory fit to allele frequency changes in our experimental populations is when the two alleles occur in equal frequencies and genotypes are in Hardy-Weinberg proportions. We argue that this type of selection is consistent with the role of alcohol dehydrogenase as a detoxifying enzyme in a medium that undergoes continuous chemical changes during its use by the feeding larvae.     

耳蜗琥珀酸脱氢酶显示方法的改进

在采用耳蜗顶部灌流方法测定琥珀酸脱氢酶的活性时,本文提出了两点改进,实验动物为豚鼠:(1)孵育前用2%戊二醛磷酸盐缓冲液(pH7.4,4℃)将耳蜗预固定30min,再冰凉(—20——40℃)约3min,以便消除血管纹屏障,使该部位和柯蒂氏器官的琥珀酸脱氢酶活性能同时被显示出来。(2)在孵育液中加入细胞呼吸抑制剂(阿密妥),可使耳蜗背景色变淡,从而减少假阳性现象。通过对一些豚鼠的实验观察,所得结果基本一致。

POLYOL DEHYDROGENASE: PURIFICATION. EVIDENCE FOR MULTIPLE FORMS AND SOME PROPERTIES OF THE DOMINANT VARIANT OF THE HORSE LIVER ENZYME

Purification of horse-liver polyoi dehydrogenase (PDH) on DE52 anion-exchange cellulose reveals the presence of three fractions with enzyme activity. These appear in the breakthrough volume (PDH-3) and the salt gradient (PDH-1, -2) respectively. The major band of activity (< 90%) is found in the PDH-2 fraction. A reexamination of sheep-liver polyol dehydrogenase also reveals the presence of three bands of activity, with the dominant fraction (PDH-3) corresponding to the preparation described by Smith (Biochem. J., 83, 135–144, (1962))³. The interaction between horse-liver (and sheep-liver) PDH and Blue Sepharose CL-6B is found to be endothermic. This property is utilized in the final purification step. Horse-liver PDH-2 has a molecular/subunit weight of 85, 000/28, 000, a Stokes' radius of 3.8 nm, and an isoelectric point of 7.4.
