Using yeast two-hybrid system to detect interactions of ATP synthase subunits from Spinacia oleracea

Subunit interactions among the chloroplast ATP synthase subunits were studied using the yeast two-hybrid system. Various pairwise combinations of genes encoding a, p, y, 8 and e subunits of Spinach ATP synthase fused to the binding domain or activation domain of GAL4 DNA were introduced into yeast and then expression of a reporter gene encoding p-galactosidase was detected. Of all the combinations, that of y and e subunit genes showed the highest level of reporter gene expression, while those of a and p, a and e, p and e and p and 8 induced stable and significant reporter gene expression. The combination of 8 and e as well as that of 8 and y induced weak and unstable reporter gene expression. However, combinations of a and y, p and y and a and 8 did not induce reporter gene expression. These results suggested that specific and strong interactions between y and e, a and p, a and e, p and e and p and 8 subunits, and weak and transient interactions between 8 and e and 8 and y subunits occurred in the yeast

Microarray and proteomic analysis of brassinosteroid- and gibberellin-regulated gene and protein expression in rice

Brassinosteroid (BR) and gibberellin (GA) are two groups of plant growth regulators essential for normal plant growth and development. To gain insight into the molecular mechanism by which BR and GA regulate the growth and development of plants, especially the monocot plant rice, it is necessary to identify and analyze more genes and proteins that are regulated by them. With the availability of draft sequences of two major types, japonica and indica rice, it has become possible to analyze expression changes of genes and proteins at genome scale. In this review, we summarize rice functional genomic research by using microarray and proteomic approaches and our recent research results focusing on the comparison of cDNA microarray and proteomic analyses of BR- and GA-regulated gene and protein expression in rice. We believe our findings have important implications for understanding the mechanism by which BR and GA regulate the growth and development of rice.     

Achene Wall Anatomy and Surface Sculpturing of Lactuca L. and Related Genera （Compositae： Lactuceae） with Notes on Their Systematic Significance

The achene wail anatomy and surface sculpturing of 14 species representing Lactuca L. and related genera were Investigated to evaluate inter-and Intrageneric relationships. The achene wall anatomy of the studied species can be divided Into two types： winged and ribbed. The winged type is present in Lactuca L., Pterocypsela Shlh, Clcerblta Wallr., Chaetoserls Shlh and Stenoseris Shlh, and is characterized by protruding wings and costae in transverse section. Winged type achene mesocarps are composed of parenchymatous cells and fiber ceils, and the distinct fibrous strands are confined to the costae or wings of the achenes. The ribbed type is present in Notoseris Shih and Paraprenanthes Chang ex Shih, and Is characterized by only having costae In transverse section. Fiber cells are continuous in the costae and intercostae, in surface sculpturing, the ornamentation and the shape of epidermal cells are different among these genera. The results Indicate that L. altalca and L. serrlola should be conspeclfic, and that L. dollchophylla is probably an Intermediate taxon between Lactuca and Chaetoserls. The results also support the separation of Pterocypseia, Paraprenanthes, Notoseris, Chaetoseris and Stenoserls from Lactuca and Clcerblta as independent entitles. Close affinities between Pterocypsela and Lactuca, Paraprenanthes and Notoserls, and Chaetoserls and Stenoserls are also proposed.

SNP detection now is becoming increasingly important means in molecular diagnostics, clinical assay and novel drug development. It plays an essential role in drug resistance and anaphylactic reaction and has the importamce in theoretical studies of gene location, hereditary diseases and human origin. With the accomplishment of human genome sequencing, the genotyping and discovering of SNP are becoming hot subjects in genetics and biomedicine researches. The methods for SNP detection were renewed rapidly and developed fast in past few years. In this review, several newly established detection methods including gene chip, molecular probe, fluorescence polarization and resonance, mass spectrometry, and bacterial magnetic particle are discussed. It could be expected that an accurate and sensitive, simple and easy-to-handle SNP technology with low cost and high throughput will be available on the basis of research breakthroughs of biochemistry, engineering and analytic software.

Proliferation inhibition and apoptosis promotion by dual silencing of VEGF and Survivin in human osteosarcoma

Simultaneous silencing of multiple upregulated genes is an attractive and viable treatment strat-egy for many incurable diseases including cancer.Herein we used a dual gene-targeted siRNA conjugate composed of VEGF and Survivin siRNA sequences in the same backbone to inhibit proliferation and angiogenesis in two human osteosarcoma cell lines.We synthesized siRNA sequences targeting the VEGF and Survivin genes individually (VEGF siRNA and Survivin siRNA) or simultaneously (one-chain-double-target siRNA:dual siRNA).VEGF and Survivin mRNA and protein expression levels in human osteosarcoma MG-63 and Saos-2 cells were detected by qRT- PCR and western blot analysis.VEGF and Survivin protein location and expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining.MG-63 and Saos-2 cell migration,proliferation,apoptosis,and angiogenesis were detected by scratch test,MTT assay,flow cytometry,and capillary tube assay respectively.The dual siRNA induced similar downregulation of VEGF and Survivin mRNA and protein levels,compared with VEGF siRNA or Survivin siRNA alone.The dual siRNA caused greater suppression of MG-63 and Saos-2 cell migration,proliferation and angiogenesis,and promoted more cell apoptosis than VEGF siRNA or Survivin siRNA alone,suggesting that the effects of the dual siRNA on inhibiting cell proliferation,migration,and angiogenesis and promoting apoptosis were superior to those of the single-target siRNAs.Simultaneous silencing of VEGF and Survivin using the dual siRNA may be an advantageous alternative for the development of therapeutic strategies against human osteosarcoma.
