为了探究水稻硒结合蛋白(selenium-binding protein, SBP)基因的功能,以水稻品种日本晴(Oryza sativa Japonica)为材料,采用同源克隆法获得Os SBP,并对其进行组织特异表达及生物信息学分析。结果表明,Os SBP基因cDNA序列为1 623 bp,包括长度为1 449 bp的CDS,碱基组成为A 23.3%、T 25.1%、G 28.9%、C 22.6%,编码482个氨基酸残基组成的蛋白质。Os SBP蛋白表现为弱酸性,且稳定、亲水;二级结构中以无规则卷曲和延伸链结构为主,三级结构同源建模成功,主要是螺旋和转角;亚细胞定位Os SBP主要分布在细胞质中,推测可能在运载结合、辅助因子中发挥重要作用,无跨膜结构域,无信号肽;该蛋白序列中存在24个丝氨酸磷酸化,11个苏氨酸磷酸化位点和10个酪氨酸磷酸化位点以及6个糖基化位点。启动子元件分析表明,其含有与热胁迫、干旱胁迫、光反应、细胞防御、赤霉素(GA)和茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)信号传导相关元件。进化分析结果表明,克隆的Os SBP氨基酸序列与短柄草、高粱的同源关系较近,具有较高的保守性,与莱茵衣藻的同源关系较远。RT-PCR分析结果表明,Os SBP基因在各组织中均有表达,水稻孕穗期中茎的表达最高,其次分别为叶和根,穗中表达量最低,且该基因的表达受Cd,盐和热的诱导,以及PEG和Cold的抑制。该基因的成功克隆及分析为进一步研究Os SBP在水稻抗逆中的作用奠定了重要的基础。     

水稻OsCatB敲除突变体的构建及耐逆性初步分析

水稻过氧化氢酶B (catalase B, CatB)主要在非光合组织、愈伤组织、根和种子中表达,参与调控活性氧动态水平的平衡和根系的生长。目前, CatB参与非生物胁迫响应的功能在很大程度上是未知的。本研究利用基因编辑技术CRISPR/Cas9获得OsCatB基因敲除的纯合突变体catb,并分析了catb在盐、高温和氧化等胁迫处理下的生理和生化表型。研究结果发现,在盐处理下,突变体catb的生理和生化表型与野生型植株无显著差异;在热胁迫下, catb的过氧化氢酶活性和存活率与野生型植株相比显著降低,而H2O2含量显著升高;在氧化胁迫下, catb的幼苗高度低于野生型。这些结果说明,水稻CatB参与盐胁迫响应的调控不明显,而主要参与了高温和氧化胁迫响应,并正调控水稻的高温和氧化胁迫耐受性。该研究为进一步探究Os CatB参与逆境响应的分子机制和培育抗逆水稻品种提供了一定的理论指导和遗传材料。     

OsPHGPx基因的过量表达增强水稻抗氧化能力

植物在生物或非生物胁迫下会通过表达磷脂氢谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(PHGPx)来抵御胁迫引起的氧化损伤,但是PHGPx在植物体内抗氧化途径中所扮演的生理角色目前尚不完全清楚。利用农杆菌遗传转化技术,构建了过表达Os PHGPx基因的转基因水稻,并对转基因水稻进行了PCR、实时定量PCR以及Western blot等检测分析,结果表明Os PHGPx基因已成功转入水稻并正常表达。与野生型水稻相比,这些过量表达Os PHGPx的转基因水稻抵御百草枯氧化伤害的能力提高。

为探究盐胁迫下OsDSR2 RNAi转基因水稻的生理特性和差异基因的表达调控,以中花11(ZH11)植株为对照,对OsDSR2 RNAi转基因水稻幼苗进行生理特性和转录组学分析,结果表明:正常条件下,ZH11和Os DSR2 RNAi转基因水稻中叶绿素含量和根部Na+/K+均显著低于ZH11,其他各项生理指标均没有显著性差异,而盐胁迫处理后,Os DSR2 RNAi转基因水稻中的叶绿素含量、可溶性糖(SS)含量、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性与ZH11相比没有明显变化,但转基因植株中的细胞膜透性、丙二醛(MDA)含量、Na+/K+显著或极显著低于ZH11,脯氨酸(Pro)含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、过氧化物酶(POD)活性显著或极显著高于ZH11。Os DSR2 RNAi转基因水稻在盐胁迫前后共产生68个差异表达基因,其中有55个上调表达,13个下调表达。GO分析结果显示,差异表达基因主要富集在胁迫应激反应、分解代谢等生物学过程中。KEGG分析结果表明,差异表达基因主要参与类胡萝卜素生物合成、油菜素内酯生物合成以及表皮素,软木脂和蜡质生物合成代谢通路中,进一步通过RT-q PCR验证了Osb ZIP16、Os LEA3、RAB21等差异表达基因参与水稻的胁迫应答反应。综上,在生理层面上,Os DSR2 RNAi转基因水稻主要通过降低细胞膜透性、MDA含量和Na+/K+,增加Pro含量,提高SOD和POD活性,抑制叶绿素的降解来提高耐盐性;在分子水平上,Os DSR2主要通过脱落酸(ABA)、油菜素内酯(BR)信号通路参与调控Osb ZIP16、Os LEA3、RAB21等逆境相关基因的表达来提高苗期水稻的耐盐性,为进一步阐明Os DSR2参与调控水稻耐盐的详细分子机制奠定基础。     

水稻锌指蛋白基因OsBBX6的克隆、表达及生物信息学分析

锌指蛋白作为植物体内一类重要的转录因子,对植物生长发育、基因调控以及响应外界环境变化方面发挥重要作用。Os BBX6基因属于水稻锌指蛋白B-Box基因家族成员,启动子元件分析发现其含有高温应答元件(HSE)、干旱应答元件(MBS)及非生物胁迫响应元件(TC-rich repeats)等逆境相关元件。组织特异性定量表达分析表明,Os BBX6在叶片中表达最高,根其次,茎和幼穗中表达最低。胁迫处理后的荧光定量PCR发现其受低温诱导上调,受高温、干旱、盐胁迫等抑制表达,表明其正向响应低温胁迫,负向响应高温、干旱、盐胁迫等。另外,本研究还克隆了OsBBX6基因,并对其进行了系统进化、蛋白跨膜、蛋白亚细胞定位及OsBBX6基因共表达等分析,为进一步研究其生物学功能奠定基础。

Synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phosphatidylserine of myelin and microsomal fractions of adult and developing rat brain.

The synthesis and turnover of cerebrosides and phospholipids was followed in microsomal and myelin fractions of developing and adult rat brains after an intracerebral injection of [U-14C]serine. The kinetics of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal and myelin cerebrosides indicate the possibility of a precursor-product relationship between cerebrosides of these membranes. The specific radioactivity of myelin cerebrosides was corrected for the deposition of newly formed cerebrosides in myelin. Multiphasic curves were obtained for the decline in specific radioactivity of myelin and microsomal cerebrosides, suggesting different cerebroside pools in these membranes. The half-life of the fast turning-over pool of cerebrosides of myelin was 7 and 22 days for the developing and adult rat brain respectively. The half-life of the slowly turning-over pool of myelin cerebrosides was about 145 days for both groups of animals. The half-life of the rapidly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was calculated to be 20 and 40 h for the developing and adult animals respectively. The half-life of the intermediate and slowly turning-over microsomal cerebrosides was 11 and 60 days respectively, for both groups of animals. The amount of incorporation of radioactivity into microsomal cerebrosides from L-serine was greatly decreased in the adult animals, and greater amounts of the precursor were directed towards the synthesis of phosphatidylserine. In the developing animals, considerable amounts of cerebrosides were synthesized from L-serine, besides phosphatidylserine. The time-course of incorporation indicated that a precursor-product relationship exists between microsomal and myelin phosphatidylserine. The half-life of microsomal phosphatidylserine was calculated to be about 8 h for the fast turning-over pool in both groups of animals.     

Identification and composition of the tonsillar and anal enterococcal and streptococcal flora of dogs and cats

Enterococcus faecalis was the most frequently isolated enterococcal species from anal swabs and tonsils of dogs and cats, although in the anal samples from dogs Ent. hirae was found almost as often as Ent. faecalis. Most Ent.faecium strains from dog tonsils differed from those associated with humans and other animals in that they fermented sorbitol. Typical Ent. avium as well as atypical Ent. avium -like strains were seen in dogs, while the related species Ent. raffinosus was associated with cat tonsils. Enterococcus cecorum also occurred mainly in cats. Certain atypical strains, presumptively identified as Ent. cecorum , shared characteristics with Ent. columbae.
The most frequent streptococcal species in tonsils of cats and dogs were Streptococcus suis and Strep. canis. Streptococcus canis and Strep. bovis predominated in anal swabs. The canine Strep. suis differed from the common porcine strains in fermenting mannitol.
Forty-seven of the 288 isolates examined could not be identified or related to known species. The characteristics of two groups of these bacteria, provisionally called 'Ton 31 group' and 'O7 group' are described.     

Molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia and assessment of zoonotic transmission

The molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is essential for accurately identifying organisms and assessing zoonotic transmission. Results of recent molecular epidemiological studies strongly suggest that zoonotic transmission plays an important role in cryptosporidiosis epidemiology. In such cases the most prevalent zoonotic species is Cryptosporidium parvum. Genotyping and subtyping data suggest that zoonotic transmission is not as prevalent in the epidemiology of giardiasis. Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is a relatively recent application that is evolving as new genes are found that increase the accuracy of identification while discovering a greater diversity of species and yet unnamed taxa within these two important genera. As molecular data accumulate, our understanding of the role of zoonotic transmission in epidemiology and clinical manifestations is becoming clearer.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of peroxidase- and laccase-catalyzed oxidation of N-substituted phenothiazines and phenoxazines

N -substituted phenothiazines (PTs) and phenoxazines (POs) catalyzed by fungal Coprinus cinereus peroxidase and Polyporus pinsitus laccase were investigated at pH 4–10. In the case of peroxidase, an apparent bimolecular rate constant (expressed as k _cat/K _m) varied from 1 ×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹to 2.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 7.0. The constants for PO oxidation were higher in comparison to PT. pH dependence revealed two or three ionizable groups with pK _a values of 4.9–5.7 and 7.7–9.7 that significantly affected the activity of peroxidase. Single-turnover experiments showed that the limiting step of PT oxidation was reduction of compound II and second-order rate constants were obtained which were consistent with the constants at steady-state conditions. Laccase-catalyzed PT and PO oxidation rates were lower; apparent bimolecular rate constants varied from 1.8×10⁵M⁻¹s⁻¹ to 2.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ at pH 5.3. PO constants were higher in comparison to PT, as was the case with peroxidase. The dependence of the apparent bimolecular constants of compound II or copper type 1 reduction, in the case of peroxidase or laccase, respectively, was analyzed in the framework of the Marcus outer-sphere electron-transfer theory. Peroxidase-catalyzed reactions with PT, as well as PO, fitted the same hyperbolic dependence with a maximal oxidation rate of 1.6×10⁸M⁻¹s⁻¹ and a reorganization energy of 0.30 eV. The respective parameters for laccase were 5.0×10⁷M⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.29 eV. Received: 20 September 1999 / Accepted: 24 February 2000
