微生物低温酶适冷机制研究进展

地球寒冷生境中生存着大量微生物。它们必须在酶学水平上对低温导致的生理、生化变化进行调整,才能在极端环境中维持生命活力。低温导致化学反应速率下降,而低温酶可通过高周转率(κcat)、高催化效率(κcatKm)来弥补这种影响。低温酶的一些共性,包括低温条件(0～30℃)下催化活力较高、最适作用温度低、稳定性差以及活化能较低等,都可能与蛋白结构的高度柔顺性有关。与高温酶、中温酶相比,低温酶中涉及蛋白稳定性的结构因素以及弱相互作用,数量减少或发生改变。低温酶可能通过分子内相互作用的减弱、酶分子与溶剂间相互作用的增强,并经过适当的构象折叠,提高蛋白结构的柔顺性 。

内陆土壤冷适应细菌的筛选分类与细胞膜脂肪酸的适冷机制

嗜冷菌及耐冷菌是冷适应酶及生物活性物质的重要资源。本研究从内陆土壤筛得33株冷适应细菌,包括6株革兰氏阳性菌与27株革兰氏阴性菌。通过细胞膜脂肪酸分析表明,革兰氏阳性菌的膜脂肪酸主要为分支脂肪酸,推测分支结构是阳性菌膜脂的主要适冷机制。革兰氏阴性菌呈现了不饱和、分支、短链等多样的膜脂适冷调节方式。根据脂肪酸组分的多样性,选择并鉴定了17株嗜冷及耐冷菌分布在11个属中,细胞膜脂肪酸组成的变化规律与细菌16SrRNA的进化分布高度一致。研究还表明同为不饱和脂肪酸为主的革兰氏阴性菌呈现了不同的适冷机理。相关研究不仅阐述了冷适应细菌的细胞膜脂肪酸的适应机制,而且为相关适冷酶源的开发利用提供了宝贵的资源。

HLA—DRα＊0101、DRβ1＊04051和DRβ1＊07011的分子克隆、测序及空间结构模建

目的：Y国探索HLA（human leukocyte antigens,HLA)不同分子的空间结构差异与功能之间的关系以及结构差异能否对预测造血干细胞移植GVHD（graft-versus-host disease,GVHD)的发生奠定基础。方法：提取人外周血总RNA,RT-PCR扩增HLA——DR等位基因全序,连接、转化大肠杆菌后并测序,将第二外显子氨基酸序列输入微机,通过INTER-NET传送至SWISS-MODELLING蛋白质空间结构模建服务器进行结构模建,结果：本文反转录了2例健康无血缘关系个体的HLA-DR位点基因全序,测序结果与HLA-DRα*0101、DRβ1*04051和DRβ1*07011的公布序列完全一致。对后两者的蛋白质空间结构模建发现它们在空间结构上存在显著差异。结论：对HLA基因位点进行全长测序可以明确判断基因型别;空间结构模建可以直观地辨别HLA不同舂子在空间结构上的差异。这为研究HLA结构与功能的关系以及HLA不完全相合的造血干细胞移植后预测GVHD的研究提供实验基础。

Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies on Huwentoxin-I from the Venom of the Spider Selenocosmia huwena: 2. Three-Dimensional Structure in Solution

The three-dimensional structure in aqueous solution of native huwentoxin-I, a neurotoxin from the venom of the spider Selenocosmia huwena, has been determined from two-dimensional ¹H NMR data recorded at 500 and 600 MHz. Structural constraints consisting of interproton distances inferred from NOEs and dihedral angles from spin–spin coupling constants were used as input for distance geometry calculation with the program XPLOR 3.1. The best 10 structures have NOE violations <0.3 Å, dihedral violations <2°, and pairwise root-mean-square differences of 1.08 (±0.20) Å over backbone atoms (N, C;, C). The molecule adopts a compact structure consisting of a small triple-stranded antiparallel -sheet and five -turns. A small hydrophobic patch consisting of Phe 6, Trp 28, and Trp 31 is located on one side of the molecule. All six lysine residues are distributed on the molecular surface. The three disulfidc bridges are buried within the molecule. The structure contains an inhibitor cystine knot motif which is adopted by several other small proteins, such as -conotoxin, agatoxin IVA, and gurmarin.     

岷江冷杉林线交错带的植冠三维结构

卧龙自然保护区巴郎山岷江冷杉林线交错带植冠三维结构定量分析表明：植冠明显地分化成两个叶层,两叶层间有１．４ｍ的无叶植冠区。以岷江冷杉、大叶金顶杜鹃和红毛花楸为优势,构成了林线植冠的主要成分。植冠深度较小的为低矮灌木种类,深度最大的是乔木层树种。林线植冠的物种组成较丰富,每个垂直取样冠层平均有２个以上物种。林线的植冠空间占有率最高的是高大的星毛杜鹃,其次是岷江冷杉,但植冠高度以蜕江冷杉最高,故林线交错带林相以蜕江冷杉为优势。物种的盖度与单位面积的植冠体积间有较好的线性关系,物种的植冠体积大致可用其盖度值乘以系数１．２１来计算。     

Cold adaption of enzymes: Structural comparison between salmon and bovine trypsins

The crystal structure of an anionic form of salmon trypsin has been determined at 1.82 Å resolution. We report the first structure of a trypsin from a phoikilothermic organism in a detailed comparison to mammalian trypsins in order to look for structural rationalizations for the cold-adaption features of salmon trypsin. This form of salmon trypsin (T II) comprises 222 residues, and is homologous to bovine trypsin (BT) in about 65% of the primary structure. The tertiary structures are similar, with an overall displacement in main chain atomic positions between salmon trypsin and various crystal structures of bovine trypsin of about 0.8 Å. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions are compared and discussed in order to estimate possible differences in molecular flexibility which might explain the higher catalytic efficiency and lower thermostability of salmon trypsin compared to bovine trypsin. No overall differences in intramolecular interactions are detected between the two structures, but there are differences in certain regions of the structures which may explain some of the observed differences in physical properties. The distribution of charged residues is different in the two trypsins, and the impact this might have on substrate affinity has been discussed. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Is histoaspartic protease a serine protease with a pepsin‐like fold?

The primary structure of the so-called histoaspartic protease from Plasmodium falciparum has a very high percentage of identity and homology with the pepsin-like enzyme plasmepsin II. A homology modeling approach was used to calculate the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to find those structural properties of the histoaspartic protease that had a tendency to remain stable during all runs. The results have shown that hydrogen-bonded residues Ser37-His34-Asp214 are arranged without any strain, in a manner that resembles the active site of a serine protease, while Ser38 and Asn39 take up positions appropriate to formation of an oxyanion hole. Although there are several important differences between the enzyme and plasmepsin II, all of the structural features associated with a typical pepsin-like aspartic protease are present in the final model of the histoaspartic protease. A possibility that this enzyme may function as a serine protease is discussed.

Molecular modeling of a disialylated monofucosylated biantennary glycan of theN-acetyllactosamine type

The conformations of a disialylated monofucosylated biantennary glycan of theN-acetyllactosamine type were analysed using the Tripos 5.3 force field from the Sybyl software currently used for molecular modelling. The conformation of each glycosidic linkage was calculated when included in oligosaccharide structures of up to 5 units and the influence of the glycosidic environment on the overall structure was measured. The study clearly shows that the conformation of a branched glycan cannot result from the simple addition of the different low energy conformers of each of the glycosidic linkages constituting the glycan structure. The asymmetrical conformation of the two antennae was demonstrated. The lowest energy conformations of the overall glycan structure were built and classified into 5 main models: the Y, T, bird and broken wing conformations already described and a new one called the back folded wing conformation.
