小麦类核糖核酸酶基因（WRN1）cDNA在自然衰老和黑暗诱导衰老条件下的表达

从普通小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)中分离了一个类核糖核酸酶(WRN1)基因的cDNA。WRN1的转录受自然衰老和黑暗诱导衰老的负调控。在幼嫩组织中WRN1也有表达。由于在两个保守的位置上组氨酸被替换,WRNl很可能已经失去了核糖核酸酶的活性。Southern分析表明,在普通小麦基因组中,WRN1以一个小基因家族的形式存在。     

烯效唑干拌种对小麦叶片衰老期间有关酶活性的影响

研究不同浓度(0、10、20、40mg·kg-1)烯效唑干拌种对小麦品种川麦30不同叶序(3叶、7叶、旗叶)叶片衰老期间酶活性影响的结果表明,烯效唑干拌种后,不同叶序叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性增强,衰老后期仍维持较高水平;而核糖核酸酶(RNase)活性水平及上升速率则受抑,叶片中丙二醛(MDA)积累量减少,可溶性蛋白质含量下降缓慢.

小麦叶片衰老过程中3种保护酶的最适pH和温度变化

小麦叶片衰老过程中，过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ），抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（ＡＰｘ）和谷胱还原酶（ＧＲ）的活性下降；ＧＲ和ＣＡＴ呈现高活性时的ｐＨ范围缩小，ＡＰｘ的最适ｐＨ变小；３个酶的最适温度几乎不变，而且现高活性的温度范围明显缩小。     

抗CⅡTA核糖核酸酶P抑制Daudi细胞表面MHC-Ⅱ类抗原的

探讨抗MHC-Ⅱ类分子转录激活因子(CⅡTA)的核糖核酸酶P对Daudi细胞表面MHC-Ⅱ类分子表达的抑制作用.M1-RNA 是核糖核酸酶P的催化活性单位.以pTK117质粒为模板,PCR扩增带有抗CⅡTA第452及629位点的引导序列的M1-RNA (M1-452-GS 及M1-629-GS),再分别插入pUC19载体(pUC19-M1-452-GS和pUC19-M1-629-GS).从Raji细胞中克隆CⅡTA基因DNA片段 (114～800)后插入pGEM-7zf(+)质粒.将重组M1-RNA与靶基因的mRNA进行细胞外共孵育,显示仅pUC19-M1-629-GS可特异性地切割靶基因mRNA.再将M1-629-GS克隆入psNAV载体(pA629)并稳定转染Daudi细胞株,RT-PCR检测其CⅡTA的mRNA水平,流式细胞术检测其HLA DR、DP、DQ抗原表达.与对照组比较,M1-629-GS阳性Daudi细胞的CⅡTA mRNA含量减少90.19%(P<0.05),其HLA DR、DP、DQ抗原表达分别降低91.97%、90.19%、92.36%(P<0.05).研究表明,抗CⅡTA的核糖核酸酶P可通过抑制CⅡTA 的转录而降低Daudi细胞表面的MHC-Ⅱ类分子的表达.     

小麦旗叶自然衰老过程中清除活性氧能力的变化

野生一粒小麦(Triticum boeoticum Boiss)、栽培小麦“扬麦五号”(T.aestivum L.)的旗叶自然衰老过程中,活性氧清除系统中各部分的清除能力下降是不均衡的。在光合速率高值持续期(叶绿素含量缓降期),SOD的活力略有下降,过氧化氢酶(CAT)活力却迅速下降,同时抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(ASP)活力呈现先上升后下降的趋势,上述SOD、CAT、ASP活力变化的不均衡,最终导致H_2O_2的迅速累积,从而使叶片迅速进入衰老(叶绿素含量速降期),于是SOD活力迅速下降。野生一粒小麦活性氧清除系统中各部分清除能力失衡过快,可能是其早衰的原因之一。H_2O_2的迅速累积与叶片衰老的启动密切相关。     

小麦RCA的cDNA片断克隆和反义表达载体的构建

普通小麦中一氧化氮相关因子(TaNOA)编码基因的克隆和分子生物学分析

一氧化氮是动植物体内重要的信号分子。本研究利用同源克隆技术从六倍体普通小麦中获得一个一氧化氮相关因子(TaNOA)编码基因的全长基因组和cDNA克隆。该基因具有13个外显子和12个内含子,与拟南芥以及水稻中同源基因结构相似。根据cDNA推导的氨基酸序列与拟南芥AtNOA1的序列一致性达60%以上,具备P-环GTPaseG4-G5-G1-G2-G3的排列特征和保守的序列。对其中2个内含子的测序分析表明在六倍体小麦中TaNOA至少有3个成员。进一步用中国春小麦缺体-四体材料将这3个TaNOA基因成员分别定位在第六同源群的6A、6B和6D染色体上,本研究中获得的成员定位于6B染色体上,因此将其命名为TaNOA-B1。原生质体表达实验表明,TaNOA-B1可能定位在线粒体中。TaNOA基因在小麦根、叶片中表达较高,在幼穗和小花中有少量表达,茎中几乎检测不到表达。TaNOA的转录本水平还因脱落酸或盐处理而上升,表明它可能参与小麦对非生物胁迫的反应。本研究为进一步克隆六倍体小麦中TaNOA的其他成员及研究该基因在小麦中的功能奠定了基础。     

小麦叶片暗诱导衰老期间内肽酶的特性

The characterization of senescence-associated endopeptidase (EP) isoenzymes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Yangmai 158) leaves during dark-induced senescence was performed. It was found that there was much higher endoproteolytic activity in dark-induced wheat leaves than in control. Six endopeptidase isoenzymes (EP1-EP6) were identified by natural gradient杙olyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) co-polymerized gelatin in the gel, five of which (EP1, EP2, EP4, EP5 and EP6) were only detected in senescing leaves. Treatment with 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) delayed the expression of these EP isoenzymes and abscisic acid (ABA) accelerated it. The activity of EP3 could be detected at a wider range of pH and temperature levels while EP4, EP5 and EP 6 could be only detected at pH 4-5 and 30 45 ℃, EP1 and EP2 at pH 3 5 and 30 ℃ 45 ℃. All of the EP isoenzymes showed high thermal stability, especially EP3, EP5 and EP6 which still had activities even by incubation at 55 ℃ for 1 h. By using different class-specific inhibitors, EP1 and EP2 were characterized as metal-dependent cysteine-proteases, EP4 as a serine-protease.     

小麦叶片暗诱导衰老期间内肽酶的特性

研究了小麦(Triticum aestivum L.cv.Yangmai 158)叶片暗诱导衰老期间内肽酶同工酶的变化及其部分生化特性,发现叶片衰老期间,内肽酶活性升高,同时出现5种新的内肽酶同工酶(EP1、EP2、EP4、EP5、EP6)。6-苄氨基嘌呤(6-BA)处理能延缓这些同工酶的出现,而脱落酸(ABA)处理则加速它们的表达。衰老期间小麦叶片内的6种内肽酶同工酶(EP1-EP6)中的EP1、EP2、EP4、EP5、EP6呈现活性的pH及温度范围较窄,而EP3有活性的pH范围和温度范围均较宽,且EP3在嫩叶、老叶中均有活性。另外,EP3、EP5、EP6对热不太敏感。蛋白酶抑制剂实验表明,EP1、EP2是需金属离子的半胱氨酸型内肽酶,EP4是丝氨酸型内肽酶。     

小麦叶片暗诱导衰老期间1,5-二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶/加氧酶的降解(英文)

研究了小麦(Triticum aestivum L.cv.Yangmai 158)叶片暗诱导衰老过程中1,5-二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶/加氧酶(Rubisco EC 4.1.1.39)的降解。发现在此期间Rubisco大亚基(LSU)发生裂解,产生50 kD的降解条带,同时在自然衰老过程中也检测到这一产物。初步实验结果表明LSU发生这步裂解时Rubisco全酶没有解离。另外,在粗酶液中当温度在30～35℃,pH7.5时,这一步裂解反应能有效进行。     

Degradation of Ribulose-1, 5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase in Wheat Leaves During Dark-induced Senescence

The degradation of Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco, EC 4.1.1.39) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yangmai 158) leaves during dark-induced senescence was studied. An in vivo degradation product of Rubisco large subunit (LSU) with molecular weight of 50 kD was detected by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with antibody against tobacco Rubisco. This fragment could also be detected in natural senescence. The result also suggested that the Rubisco holoenzyme had not dissociated when LSU hydrolyzed from 53 kD to 50 kD. And LSU could be fragmented to 50 kD at 30-35 ℃ and at pH 7.5 in crude enzyme extracts of wheat leaves dark-induced for 48 h, which suggested that maybe LSU was degraded to 50 kD by an unknown protease in chloroplast.

The RNase PD2 gene of almond (Prunus dulcis) represents an evolutionarily distinct class of S-like RNase genes

A cDNA for an S-like RNase (RNase PD2) has been isolated from a pistil cDNA library of Prunus dulcis cv. Ferragnés. The cDNA encodes an acidic protein of 226 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 25 kDa. A potential N-glycosylation site is present at the N-terminus in RNase PD2. A signal peptide of 23 amino acid residues and a transmembrane domain are predicted. The two active-site histidines present in enzymes of the T2/S RNase superfamily were detected in RNase PD2. Its amino acid sequence shows 71.2% similarity to RNS1 of Arabidopsis and RNase T2 of chickpea, respectively. Northern blotting and RT-PCR analyses indicate that PD2 is expressed predominantly in petals, pistils of open flowers and leaves of the almond tree. Analyses of shoots cultured in vitro suggested that the expression of RNase PD2 is associated with phosphate starvation. Southern analysis detected two sequences related to RNase PD2 in the P. dulcis genome. RFLP analysis showed that S-like RNase genes are polymorphic in different almond cultivars. The PD2 gene sequence was amplified by PCR and two introns were shown to interrupt the coding region. Based on sequence analysis, we have defined three classes of S-like RNase genes, with the PD2 RNase gene representing a distinct class. The significance of the structural divergence of S-like RNase genes is further discussed. Received: 24 January 2000 / Accepted: 17 March 2000     

PD1, an S-like RNase gene from a self-incompatible cultivar of almond

 Many flowering plants contain stylar S-RNases that are involved in self-incompatibility and S-like RNases of which the biological function is uncertain. This paper reports the deduced amino acid sequence of an S-like RNase gene (PD1) from the self-incompatible plant Prunus dulcis (almond). The amino acid sequence of PD1, which was derived from cDNA and genomic DNA clones, showed 34–86% identity to acidic plant S-like RNases reported so far, with the highest degree of similarity being to an S-like RNase from Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia). Based on RNA hybridisation experiments it appears that, like for many other S-like RNases, the expression of PD1 is not pistil-specific. Analysis of the genomic structure revealed the presence of three introns, of which one is similar in location to that of the related S-RNase gene from Solanaceae and Rosaceae. At least four bands hybridising to PD1 were found upon Southern hybridisation, suggesting the presence of a multigene family of S-like RNase genes in almond. The putative biological function of PD1 is discussed. Received: 22 November 1999 / Revision received: 18 February 2000 · Accepted: 13 March 2000
