通过胚拯救, 成功获得鹅观草Roegneria kamoji (2n=6x=42, SSHHYY)和普通小麦中国春Triticum aesti-vum (2n=6x=42, AABBDD)的正反交属间杂种F1, 并对这些杂种F1及其BC1的形态学、减数分裂配对行为、育性和赤霉病抗性进行研究。结果表明, (鹅观草×中国春)F1和(中国春×鹅观草)F1的形态介于双亲之间。杂种F1花粉母细胞减数分裂中期I染色体构型分别为40.33I + 0.78II + 0.03III和40.40I + 0.79II 。杂种F1高度雄性不育, 用中国春花粉与其回交可获得BC1代种子。(鹅观草×中国春) F1×中国春BC1植株的染色体数目主要分布在55~63之间, 单价体较多, 植株高度不育; (中国春×鹅观草)F1×中国春BC₁植株染色体数目也主要分布在55~63之间, 但其中部分植株拥有整套小麦染色体且能正常配对、分离, 可形成部分可育花粉粒, 能收到少量自交结实种子。在 (鹅观草×中国春)F1中有1株穗型趋向中国春, 其染色体数目为2n=63, 经染色体分子原位杂交(GISH)检测, 含有42条小麦染色体和21条鹅观草染色体。该杂种F1在减数分裂中期I平均每个花粉母细胞有26.40I+18.30II, 但植株高度雄性不育, 用中国春花粉回交能收到BC₁种子。(鹅观草×中国春) F₁ (2n=63)×中国春BC₁的染色体数目主要分布在40~59之间, 其中的外源染色体已经逐渐减少, 虽然该BC₁的穗型已接近中国春, 但仍然高度不育。赤霉病抗性鉴定结果显示, 所有杂种F1及大部分BC₁对赤霉病均表现出较好的抗性。     

普通烟草和粉蓝烟草体细胞杂种植株后代的育性研究

普通烟草(Nicotiana.tabacum)和粉蓝烟草（N.glauca）叶肉原生质体融合获得种间体细胞杂种植株,其当代育性很低,但株系间稍有差异。杂种植株自交系（SC）随着自交世代的增加,染色体数目变化不大,正常花粉粒的比率增加,育性提高。体细胞杂种植株的回交系(BC)随着回交世代的递增,染色体数目减少,直至接近回交亲本的染色体数,育性趋向正常。高度雄性不育的植株染色体数目稳定,回交仍保持高度的不育。其育性低的主要原因之一是雄性器官退化。     

普通小麦与东方旱麦草杂交世代的细胞遗传学研究

对普通小麦（TriticumaestivumL．）与东方旱麦草（Eremopyrumorientale（Ledeb）Jaub．etspach）属间杂种的回交和自交不同世代（BC2F1、BC3F1、BC2F2、BC3F2和BC2F3）进行了细胞遗传学研究。结果表明,BC2F1代（2n＝44）的植株回交产生的BC3F1代分离2n＝43植株的比例较高;为41．09％,2n＝44的植株类型的比例仅为4．11％;从自交后代BC2F2中分离2n=44植株类型的比例较高,为13．21％。回交二代（BC2F1）多数单株花粉母细胞（PMC）减数分裂过程中出现的单价体数较高,且回交结实率和自交结实率分别与该植株平均每PMC中出现的单价体数呈负相关,其相关系数分别为-0．6766和-0．7429。对BC2F3代部分种子进行的基因组原位杂交检测显示,2n＝44的不同植株所含有的外源染色体数目仍有不同。这些结果说明,由于外源染色体的存在,影响了小麦本身同源染色体的正常配对和分离,降低了小麦染色体的遗传稳定性。

Cex1p facilitates Rna1p-mediated dissociation of the Los1p-tRNA-Gsp1p-GTP export complex

Nuclear tRNA export plays an essential role in key cellular processes such as regulation of protein synthesis, cell cycle progression, response to nutrient availability and DNA damage and development. Like other nuclear export processes, assembly of the nuclear tRNA export complex in the nucleus is dependent on Ran-GTP/Gsp1p-GTP, and dissociation of the export receptor-tRNA-Ran-GTP/Gsp1p-GTP complex in the cytoplasm requires RanBP1/Yrb1p and RanGAP/Rna1p to activate the GTPase activity of Ran-GTP/Gsp1p-GTP. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cex1p and Human Scyl1 have also been proposed to participate in unloading of the tRNA export receptors at the cytoplasmic face of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Here, we provide evidence suggesting that Cex1p is required for activation of the GTPase activity of Gsp1p and dissociation of the receptor-tRNA-Gsp1p export complex in S. cerevisiae. The data suggest that Cex1p recruits Rna1p from the cytoplasm to the NPC and facilitates Rna1p activation of the GTPase activity of Gsp1p by enabling Rna1p to gain access to Gsp1p-GTP bound to the export receptor tRNA complex. It is possible that this tRNA unloading mechanism is conserved in evolutionarily diverse organisms and that other Gsp1p-GTP-dependent export processes use a pathway-specific component to recruit Rna1p to the NPC.     

Variation of the melanocortin 1 receptor gene in the macaques

Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), a G-coupled seven-transmembrane receptor protein, plays a key role in the regulation of melanin synthesis in mammals. Sequence variation of the MC1R gene (MC1R) has been associated with pigmentation phenotypes in humans and in several animal species. The macaques (genus Macaca) are known to show a marked inter-specific variation in coat color although the causative genetic variation remains unclear. We investigated nucleotide sequences of the MC1R in 67 individuals of 18 macaque species with different coat color phenotypes including black and agouti. Twenty-eight amino acid replacements were identified in the macaques, but none of these amino acid replacements could explain the black coat color of Macaca silenus and the Sulawesi macaque species. Our molecular evolutionary analysis has revealed that nonsynonymous substitution/synonymous substitution (dN/dS) ratio of the MC1R has not been uniform in the macaque groups and, moreover, their coat color and dN/dS ratio were not related. These results suggest that the MC1R is unlikely to be responsible for the coat color variation of the macaques and functions of MC1R other than pigmentation might be associated with the different selective pressures on the MC1R in macaques.     

Solution structure of an atypical WW domain in a novel beta-clam-like dimeric form

The WW domain is known as one of the smallest protein modules with a triple-stranded beta-sheet fold. Here, we present the solution structure of the second WW domain from the mouse salvador homolog 1 protein. This WW domain forms a homodimer with a beta-clam-like motif, as evidenced by size exclusion chromatography, analytical ultracentrifugation and NMR spectroscopy. While typical WW domains are believed to function as monomeric modules that recognize proline-rich sequences, by using conserved aromatic and hydrophobic residues that are solvent-exposed on the surface of the beta-sheet, this WW domain buries these residues in the dimer interface.     

VHL综合征遗传学研究

VHL综合征(von Hippel-Lindau syndrome,VHL;MIM 193300)是一种常染色体显性遗传的多系统肿瘤综合征,最常见临床表现是视网膜或中枢神经系统(central nervous system,CNS)血管母细胞瘤.CNS血管母细胞瘤和肾细胞癌(renal cell carcinoma,RCC)的并发症是VHL患者最主要的死因.VHL综合征主要因VHL基因(the vonHipple-Lindau gene,VHL)突变所致,细胞周期素D1基因(the cyclin D1 gene,CCND1)突变和蛋白异常也可能参与其发生.目前已建立了多个VHL基因缺陷动物模型.在此就VHL综合征的遗传学研究进展作一概述.     

Reaction of CO with cytochrome c oxidase. Titration of the reaction site with chemical oxidant and reductant

The number of reducing equivalents required to form the reduced cytochrome a₃-CO compound has been determined for suspensions of submitochondrial particles and for isolated cytochrome c oxidase. Anaerobic preparations were titrated reductively with NADH and oxidatively with O₂ in the presence of high concentrations of CO (0.4 to 0.8 mM) while monitoring reduction of cytochrome a and the formation of the reduced cytochrome a₃-CO compound by their characteristic absorbance changes. Analysis of the titration data show that 2.0±0.3 and 2.1±0.2 reducing equivalents per mol of cytochrome oxidase (per cytochrome a) are required for formation of the reduced cytochrome a₃-CO compound in submitochondrial particles and isolated cytochrome c oxidase, respectively. In each case, the formation of the CO compound is proportional to the number of equivalents accepted by the preparation, indicating that the two equivalents are equal and the effective n value for the reaction is 2.0. Potentiometric titrations of cytochrome c oxidase using the cobalt orthophenanthrolene complex (E_{m, 7.0} = 0.37 V) as mediator give the same half-reduction potential values for cytochrome a and a₃ as those obtained using the ferro-ferricyanide couple. The formation of the reduced cytochrome a₃-CO compound at pH 7.0, in the presence of 0.6 mM CO and with CO-orthophenanthrolene as mediator occurs with a half-reduction potential of 0.45 V and requires two electrons. These data confirm and extend the observation of Lindsay et al. (Arch. Biochim. Biophys. (1975) 169, 492–505) that both the “invisible” copper and cytochrome a₃ must be reduced in order for CO to bind with high affinity.
