外源亚精胺可缓解荇菜镉毒害

研究了外施浓度为0．01mmol·L^-1的亚精胺（Spd）对不同浓度镉（Cd2＋）胁迫下荇菜（Nymphoides peltatum）叶片的叶绿体结构、叶绿素含量、可溶性蛋白含量、超氧阴离子（O2）产生速率和丙二醛（MDA）含量,以及保护酶——超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性的影响。结果表明,（1）Cd2＋胁迫可使荇菜细胞的叶绿体结构遭到破坏,叶绿素含量减少。外施Spd则可有效地保护叶绿体结构,减少叶绿素的流失。（2）在单一Cd2＋处理条件下,随着Cd2＋浓度的升高,叶绿素含量呈现先升后降的趋势,可溶性蛋白含量则逐渐下降。外源Spd处理显著提高了二者的含量,并延缓了它们的下降速度。（3）在单一Cd^2＋处理条件下,SOD、POD和CAT活性分别在Cd2＋浓度为1、1和2mg·L1时达到最高值,而后随着Cd^2＋浓度的增加其活性逐渐下降。外施Spd使它们的活性分别提高了5．8％、37．5％和3．3％,并降低了O2^-产生速率和MDA的含量。上述结果表明,Spd增强了荇菜对Cd^2＋毒害的抗性,并在一定程度上缓解了Cd^2＋对荇菜的毒害。

Light Intensity Affects Chlorophyll Synthesis During Greening Process by Metabolite Signal from Mitochondrial Alternative Oxidase in Arabidopsis

Although mitochondrial alternative oxidase(AOX)has been proposed to play essential roles in high light stress tolerance,the effects of AOX on chlorophyll synthesis are unclear.Previous studies indicated that during greening,chlorophyll accumulation was largely delayed in plants whose mitochondrial cyanide-resistant respiration was inhibited by knocking out nuclear encoded AOX gene.Here we show that this delay of chlorophyll accumulation was more significant under high light condition.Inhibition of cyanide-resistant respiration was also accompanied by the increase of plastid NADPH/NADP~+ratio,especially under high light treatment which subsequently blocked the import of multiple plastidial proteins,such as some components of the photosynthetic electron transport chain,the Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes and malate/oxaloacetate shuttle components.Over expression of AOXla rescued the aoxla mutant phenotype,including the chlorophyll accumulation during greening and plastidial protein import.It thus suggests that light intensity affects chlorophyll synthesis during greening process by a metabolic signal,the AOX-derived plastidial NADPH/NADP~+ratio change.And our results thus revealed a molecular mechanism of chloroplast-mitochondria interactions.     

类囊体膜的垛叠、松散与它的功能关系

菠菜完整叶绿体置于4mM MgCl_2或20 mM KCl低浓度介质中低渗10秒钟后,得到由Mg~(++)或K~+离子诱导的类囊体垛叠膜和松散膜。它们在功能上表现出明显的差异。垛叠膜有较高的毫秒级延迟光发射(ms-DLE),松散膜显著降低DLE的快相,垛叠膜比松散膜的9-AA荧光猝灭快,并保持稳定;而松散膜有H~+渗漏。在非循环或Fd催化的循环光合磷酸化中,垛叠膜比松散膜活力高。但是,若在同样的低渗介质中低渗1分钟以上,Mg~(++)离子诱导的垛叠膜,在显微结构上不同于低渗过10秒钟的垛叠膜,它垛叠较松,而且在磷酸化活力上也与松散膜差别不大。揭示了H~+传递速度受二个光系统、电子载体间的距离及偶联程度的限制。新鲜制备的垛叠或松散膜,在NADP~+还原系统中,具有相同的电子传递放O_2速度,说明电子传递速度在一定范围内不受膜间的距离和偶联程度的影响。但是松散膜不稳定,随着膜的老化而解联,牛血清白蛋白(BSA)能稳定松散膜的电子传递。     

Importance of partially unfolded conformations for Mg(2+)-induced folding of RNA tertiary structure: structural models and free energies of Mg2+ interactions

RNA molecules in monovalent salt solutions generally adopt a set of partially folded conformations containing only secondary structure, the intermediate or I state. Addition of Mg2+ strongly stabilizes the native tertiary structure (N state) relative to the I state. In this paper, a combination of experimental and computational approaches is used to estimate the free energy of the interaction of Mg2+ with partially folded I state RNAs and to consider the possibility that Mg2+ favors "compaction" of the I state to a set of conformations with a higher average charge density. A sequence variant with a drastically destabilized tertiary structure was used as a mimic of I state RNA; as measured by small-angle X-ray scattering, it adopted a progressively more compact conformation over a wide Mg2+ concentration range. Average free energies of the interaction of Mg2+ with the I state mimic were obtained by a fluorescence titration method. To interpret these experimental data further, we generated molecular models of the I state and used them in calculations with the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation to estimate the change in Mg2+-RNA interaction free energy as the average I state dimensions decrease from expanded to compact. The same models were also used to reproduce quantitatively the experimental difference in excess Mg2+ between N and I states. On the basis of these experiments and calculations, I state compaction appears to enhance Mg2+-I state interaction free energies by 10-20%, but this enhancement is at most 5% of the overall Mg2+-associated stabilization free energy for this rRNA fragment.     

ATP breakdown and resynthesis in the development of gastrointestinal mucosal damage and its prevention in animals and human (an overview of 25 years ulcer research studies).

The changes in membrane-bound ATP systems (breakdown and resynthesis) were analyzed in different experimental ulcer models (such as ETOH, HCl, NaOH, 25% NaCl-induced, pyloric ligated + epinephrine treated, stress, reserpine treated, indomethacin treated rat models) and chronic antral, duodenal and jejunal ulcers in patients. The energy system parameters (adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), cyclic AMP (cAMP), lactate) were measured from different sites of gastrointestinal mucosa, and values of ATP/ADP, adenylate pool (ATP + ADP + AMP) and energy charge ((ATP + 0.5 ADP)/(ATP + ADP + AMP)) were calculated. The biochemical measurements were done at different times during the development of gastrointestinal mucosal lesions, without and with application of different drugs (PGI2, atropine, cimetidine) and bilateral surgical vagotomy. The aims of our present paper were: 1.) To summarize the main directions of ATP breakdown during the development of gastrointestinal lesions or ulcers in different experimental models and human beings: 2.) To summarize the biochemical steps of defense of gastrointestinal mucosa against chemicals, drugs or unknown pathogenic factors; 3.) To analyze the importance of membrane-bound ATP-dependent energy systems in order to understand the mucosal lesions and their prevention; 4.) To evaluate the real values of changes in these parameters from the point of view of ulcerogenesis and its prevention; 5.) To find some correlation between the energy parameters during mucosal damage and its prevention: 6.) To understand better the types of tissue reactions (metabolic) due to development of mucosal lesions and prevention.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

A comparison of no-flow and low-flow ischemia in the rat heart: an energetic study

Heat production under no-flow ischemia (ISCH) and under hypoperfusion (HYP) conditions was measured in single isovolumetric contractions of perfused rat ventricles at 25 degrees C. Resting heat production (Hr) and resting pressure decreased when the perfusion rate was reduced from 6 to 1.5 mL min(-1) or lower flows (HYP) and by ISCH. Maximal developed pressure (P) decreased to 29% and 20% of control by HYP at 0.8 mL min(-1) and ISCH, respectively. The tension-independent heat (TIH) fraction attributed to Ca2+-binding, measured during single contractions, decreased under HYP with an increase in the ratio between the maximum relaxation rate and P (-P/P ratio). The TIH fractions (attributed to Ca2+ binding and Ca2+ removal processes) decreased under ISCH. The long duration TIH fraction associated with Ca2+-dependent mitochondrial activity disappeared at flow rates of 1.5 mL min(-1) or lower. The ratio between the tension-dependent energy release and P was decreased by ISCH but not by HYP, indicating that under ISCH there was an improvement in contractile economy, but this was not modified by HYP. Overall, the results indicate that no-flow and low-flow ischemias are energetically different models. While the contractile failure under HYP seems to be related to a decrease in myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity, under ISCH it appears to be related to decreased cytosolic Ca2+ availability combined with a more noticeable effect on a fraction of energy that has been attributed to mitochondrial activity. Furthermore, mechanical and energetic responses of both models (i.e., ISCH and HYP) found in the present work were not the same as those previously observed in severe hypoxia so that all these models should not be used indistinctly.     

Steric selectivity in Na channels arising from protein polarization and mobile side chains

Monte Carlo simulations of equilibrium selectivity of Na channels with a DEKA locus are performed over a range of radius R and protein dielectric coefficient epsilon(p). Selectivity arises from the balance of electrostatic forces and steric repulsion by excluded volume of ions and side chains of the channel protein in the highly concentrated and charged (approximately 30 M) selectivity filter resembling an ionic liquid. Ions and structural side chains are described as mobile charged hard spheres that assume positions of minimal free energy. Water is a dielectric continuum. Size selectivity (ratio of Na+ occupancy to K+ occupancy) and charge selectivity (Na+ to Ca2+) are computed in concentrations as low as 10(-5) M Ca2+. In general, small R reduces ion occupancy and favors Na+ over K+ because of steric repulsion. Small epsilon(p) increases occupancy and favors Na+ over Ca2+ because protein polarization amplifies the pore's net charge. Size selectivity depends on R and is independent of epsilon(p); charge selectivity depends on both R and epsilon(p). Thus, small R and epsilon(p) make an efficient Na channel that excludes K+ and Ca2+ while maximizing Na+ occupancy. Selectivity properties depend on interactions that cannot be described by qualitative or verbal models or by quantitative models with a fixed free energy landscape.

Altered voltage dependence of fractional Ca2+ current in N-methyl-D-aspartate channel pore mutants with a decreased Ca2+ permeability.

The Ca2+ permeability properties of an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) channel pore mutant (NR1E603K-NR2A) were studied using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in human embryonic kidney cells. Measurements of reversal potential shifts indicated that the relative permeability of Ca2+ over monovalent ions, P(Ca)/P(M), was 1.6, a value reduced by a factor of approximately 2 with respect to the wild-type channel. The ratio of Ca2+ current over total current (fractional Ca2+ current), however, was 19.7 +/- 1% at -50 mV and 2 mM external Ca2+ concentration, a value similar to that of the wild-type channel, but 2.3-fold larger than that predicted by simple permeation models for the corresponding P(Ca)/P(M) value. The deviation from predicted values gradually disappeared with membrane depolarization. Similar results were obtained for two cysteine mutations at asparagine residues of the NR1 and NR2A subunits. When interpreted in terms of a two-barrier one-site model for ion permeation, the results indicate that changes in the relative Ca2+ permeability occur close to an internal energy barrier limiting ion permeation.
