A comparative study of the interaction of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ribonuclease (barnase) and Bacillus intermedius ribonuclease (binase) with barstar by brownian dynamics simulation

A comparative study of the interaction of two RNases (binase and barnase) with the polypeptide inhibitor barstar was performed by Brownian dynamics simulation. It was demonstrated that this method adequately reproduced the dependence of the association rate on the pH of solution as well as the effect of mutations at individual amino acid residues on the inhibition of barnase by barstar. Two types of energy-favorable binase-barstar encounter complexes were found. In type I complex, the amino acid residues of the binase active center are involved in formation of the complex; in type II complex, the active center remains free. It is suggested that temporary binding of free barstar into type II complex competes with the inhibition reaction. Presumably, this explains the decrease in the rate of binase inhibition by barstar as compared with the analogous reaction of barnase.

Expression and plasma membrane localization of the mammalian B‐cell receptor complex in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum

The B‐cell antigen receptor (BCR), displayed on the plasma membrane of mature B cells of the mammalian immune system, is a multimeric complex consisting of a membrane‐bound immunoglobulin (mIg) noncovalently associated with the Igα/Igβ heterodimer. In this study, we engineered transgenic tobacco plants expressing all four chains of the BCR. ELISA, Western blotting and confocal microscopy demonstrated that the BCR was correctly assembled in plants, predominantly in the plasma membrane, and that the noncovalent link was detergent sensitive. This is the first example of a noncovalently assembled plasma membrane‐retained heterologous receptor in plants. In B cells of the mammalian immune system, following antigen binding to mIg, BCR is internalized and tyrosine residues on Igα and Igβ are phosphorylated activating a signaling cascade through interaction with protein kinases that ultimately leads to the initiation of gene expression. Expression of the BCR may therefore be an important tool for the study of plant endocytosis and the identification of previously unknown plant tyrosine kinases. The specificity and diversity of the antibody repertoire, coupled to the signal transduction capability of the Igα/Igβ heterodimer, also indicates that plants expressing BCR may in future be developed as environmental biosensors.

An improved method for the detection and quantification of recombinant protein in transgenic plants

A sensitive method has been developed for the detection of recombinant protein produced as a result of gene transfer into plants. This method is based upon antibody binding, which is then visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence and recorded on x-ray film for long-term storage. The technique is simple, rapid and reliable and can be used to screen large numbers of transgenic plants. Several plant species have been successfully tested in this way for a range of recombinant proteins.     

Antibody molecular farming in plants and plant cells

`Molecular Farming' is a novel approach to the production of pharmaceuticals, where valuable recombinant proteins can be produced in transgenic organisms on an agricultural scale. Plants have been traditionally used as a source of medicines, but the use of transgenic plants in molecular farming represents a novel source of molecular medicines that include plasma proteins, enzymes, growth factors, vaccines and recombinant antibodies. Until recently, the wide use of these molecular medicines was limited because of the difficulty in producing these proteins outside animals or animal cell cultures. The application of molecular biology and plant biotechnology in the 1990s showed that many molecular medicines could be synthesised in plants. The goal of this Molecular Farming technology is to produce pharmaceuticals that are safer, easier to produce and less expensive than those produced in animals or microbial cultures. Here, we examine the production of recombinant antibodies by Molecular Farming.

Bacterial community structures in honeybee intestines and their response to two insecticidal proteins

In this study, the effects of the Bt-toxin Cry1Ab and a soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) on intestinal bacterial communities of adult honeybees (Apis mellifera) were investigated. It was hypothesized that changes in intestinal bacterial communities of honeybees may represent a sensitive indicator for altered intestinal physiology. Honeybees were fed in a laboratory set-up with maize pollen from the Bt-transgenic cultivar MON810 or from the non-transgenic near isoline. Purified Cry1Ab (0.0014% w/v) and SBTI (0.1% or 1% w/v) represented supplementary treatments. For comparison, free-flying honeybees from two locations in Switzerland were analysed. PCR-amplification of bacterial 16S rRNA gene fragments and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses revealed a total of 17 distinct terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs), which were highly consistent between laboratory-reared and free-flying honeybees. The T-RFs were affiliated to Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaproteobacteria, to Firmicutes, and to Bacteriodetes. Neither Bt-maize pollen nor high concentrations of Cry1Ab significantly affected bacterial communities in honeybee intestines. Only the high concentration of SBTI significantly reduced the number of T-RFs detected in honeybee midguts, a concentration that also increases bee mortality. Therefore, total bacterial community structures may not be a sensitive indicator for providing evidence for the impact of insecticidal proteins on honeybees at sublethal levels.

Development of Antibody to Human GM3 Synthase and Immunodetection of the Enzyme in Human Tissues

Polyclonal antibody was raised to a cloned fragment of human GM3 synthase. Affinity purified R27C1 antibody to the tagged recombinant protein inhibited GM3 synthase activity in human liver and HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. However, the R27C1 antibody did not affect liver sialyltransferase activity towards asialofetuin. We are the first to measure GM3 synthase activity in human liver (194 +/- 60 pmol NeuAc/h per mg protein), which was about 10-fold lower than in phorbol myristate acetate-stimulated HL-60 cells (1353 +/- 573 pmol NeuAc/h per mg protein). On immunoblotting the R27C1 antibody recognized a common protein band in a number of human tissues (liver, brain, atherosclerotic aortic intima, HL-60 cells) with molecular mass of about 60 kD, which is similar to that of the purified GM3 synthase from rat liver. In human liver and aortic intima, the 60-kD band was almost a single band, which makes possible the use of the R27C1 antibody for immunohistochemical studies in these tissues.

逆境胁迫严重影响植物生长发育,降低作物产量。目前在植物抗逆基因工程中,大多使用组成型启动子驱动目的基因表达,组成型启动子的表达虽然能提高转基因植株的抗逆性,但持续过量地表达转化的外源基因有时会阻碍植物的生长且降低其产量。因此,诱导型启动子的研究具有重要的应用价值。该文对近年来植物在逆境胁迫处理下,一些诱导型启动子的种类和功能,可能具有的顺式作用元件,反式作用因子及其研究方法进行了综述。

The Expression of the Bacterial Gene for Xylose(Glucose) Isomerase in Transgenic Tobacco Plants Affects Plant Morphology and Phytohormonal Balance

The gene encoding xylose(glucose) isomerase (P00944, EC 5.3.1.5) in Escherichia coli was put under the control of the 35S CaMV promoter and transferred to Nicotiana tabacum L. plants using an Agrobacterium tumefaciens vector. Transgenic plants, which synthesized an active bacterial enzyme, were characterized by the accelerated development of the root system, more rapid accumulation of total plant weight, and larger leaves. These changes were correlated with a changed hormonal balance and a changed activity of the chloroplast-gene expression.
