小体鲟卵黄蛋白生化特性及合成途径的研究

使用葡聚糖凝胶（Sephadex G-200）从小体鲟鱼卵粗提液中,提纯卵黄脂磷蛋白(Lipovitellin, Lv )和卵黄高磷蛋白(Phosvitin, Pv)。卵黄脂磷蛋白（含糖、磷和脂,等电点7.50）具有雌性特异性, 分子量为144 kD,由97.4 kD和30 kD的大小2个亚基组成。卵黄高磷蛋白（含糖、磷,等电点8.30）其分子量为66 kD,其具有两个亚基,分子量分别为47.6 kD、16.8 kD。制备卵黄脂磷蛋白兔抗血清,采用免疫组化方法对不同年龄小体鲟的肝脏、肠、卵（Ⅱ-Ⅴ期卵巢）及血涂片,进行免疫组织化学定位研究。小体鲟卵巢发育到 Ⅳ期前,卵黄蛋白主要靠卵母细胞自身合成,这个时期内源性合成卵黄蛋白;当卵巢发育到 Ⅳ期,卵母细胞自身不合成卵黄蛋白,主要是通过肝脏合成卵黄蛋白原,通过血液循环运送到卵巢,被卵母细胞吸收后,裂解为卵黄蛋白,这个时期外源性合成卵黄蛋白。     

金线蛙冬眠期与出眠初期肝脏比较细胞学研究

本实验对金线蛙冬眠期与出眠初期肝脏进行了比较细胞学研究。结果表明冬眠期肝细胞含有大量糖元颗粒和一些脂滴，线粒体数目少，未见粗面内质网；出眠初期糖元颗粒稀少但仍有脂滴，粗面内质网丰富，线粒体数目多，这提示蛙类在冬眠中优先依靠消耗糖元维持生存。此外，本文还对两个时期肝细胞中细胞器种类和数量变化的意义进行了讨论。

东方扁虾卵子发生的超微结构

根据卵细胞的形态、内部结构特征及卵母细胞与滤泡细胞之间的关系,东方扁虾的卵子发生可划分为卵原细胞、卵黄发生前卵母细胞、卵黄发生卵母细胞和成熟卵母细胞等四个时期。卵原细胞胞质稀少,胞器以滑面内质网为主。卵黄发生前卵母细胞核明显膨大,特称为生发泡;在靠近核外膜的胞质中可观察到核仁外排物。卵黄发生卵母细胞逐渐为滤泡细胞所包围;卵黄合成旺盛,胞质中因而形成并积累了越来越多的卵黄粒。东方扁虾卵母细胞的卵黄发生是二源的。游离型核糖体率先参与内源性卵黄合成形成无膜卵黄粒。粗面内质网是内源性卵黄形成的主要胞器。滑面内质网、线粒体和溶酶体以多种方式活跃地参与卵黄粒形成。卵周隙内的外源性物质有两个来源:滤泡细胞的合成产物和血淋巴携带、转运的卵黄蛋白前体物。这些外源性物质主要通过质膜的微吞饮作用和微绒毛的吸收作用这两种方式进入卵母细胞,进而形成外源性卵黄。内源性和外源性的卵黄物质共同参与成熟卵母细胞中富含髓样小体的卵黄粒的形成。卵壳的形成和微绒毛的回缩被认为是东方扁虾卵母细胞成熟的形态学标志。

Vitellogenin-derived yolk proteins of white perch,Morone americana: purification,characterization, and vitellogenin-receptor binding

The objectives of this study were to 1) purify and characterize vitellogenin-derived yolk proteins of white perch (Morone americana), 2) develop a nonisotopic receptor binding assay for vitellogenin, and 3) identify the yolk protein domains of vitellogenin recognized by the ovarian vitellogenin receptor. Four yolk proteins derived from vitellogenin (YP1, YP2 monomer [YP2m] and dimer [YP2d], and YP3) were isolated from ovaries of vitellogenic perch by selective precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. The apparent molecular masses of purified YP1, YP2m, and YP2d after gel filtration were 310 kDa, 17 kDa, and 27 kDa, respectively. YP3 appeared in SDS-PAGE as a approximately 20-kDa band plus some diffuse smaller bands that could be visualized by staining for phosphoprotein with Coomassie Brilliant Blue complexed with aluminum nitrate. Immunological and biochemical characteristics of YP1, YP2s, and YP3 identified them as white perch lipovitellin, beta'-components, and phosvitin, respectively. A novel receptor-binding assay for vitellogenin was developed based on digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled vitellogenin tracer binding to ovarian membrane proteins immobilized in 96-well plates. Lipovitellin from white perch and vitellogenin from perch and other teleosts effectively displaced specifically bound DIG-vitellogenin in the assay, but phosvitin and the beta'-component could not, demonstrating for the first time that the lipovitellin domain of teleost vitellogenin mediates its binding to the oocyte receptor. Lipovitellin was less effective than vitellogenin in this regard, suggesting that the remaining yolk protein domains of vitellogenin may interact with its lipovitellin domain to facilitate binding of vitellogenin to its receptor.     

The crystalline yolk-platelet proteins and their soluble plasma precursor in an amphibian, Xenopus laevis

A single lipophosphoprotein complex, vitellogenin, was isolated and purified from the plasma of oestrogen-stimulated female toads by preparative ultracentrifugation and chromatography on TEAE-cellulose (triethylaminoethylcellulose). The protein contains 12% lipid, 1.5% phosphorus, 1.6% calcium and smaller amounts of carbohydrates and biliverdin. In amino acid composition it is identical with total yolk-platelet protein. The platelet protein, however, is fractionated on TEAE-cellulose into two components, a high-molecular-weight lipovitellin and a smaller phosvitin. Analyses of the soluble plasma vitellogenin suggest that it is a complex of two phosvitin molecules covalently bound to one lipovitellin dimer, and that it is the immediate precursor of the yolk proteins, into which it is converted by a molecular rearrangement. Uptake of vitellogenin from the plasma into the growing oocyte, and its subsequent crystallization as a yolk platelet, appear to be enhanced by gonadotrophic hormones.     

Vitellogenesis in Xenopus laevis and chicken: cognate ligands and oocyte receptors. The binding site for vitellogenin is located on lipovitellin I

Vitellogenesis is the process of yolk formation in rapidly growing oocytes of oviparous species. The transport of yolk precursor proteins from the blood plasma into the oocyte is achieved by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Although the Xenopus oocyte is one of the prime experimental systems for expression of foreign genes and their products, the receptor for the main vitellogenic protein, vitellogenin, from this extensively utilized cell has not been identified. Here we have applied ligand and immunoblotting to visualize the Xenopus laevis oocyte receptor for vitellogenin as a protein with an apparent Mr of 115,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels under nonreducing conditions. The receptor from the amphibian oocyte also recognizes chicken vitellogenin, and vice versa; furthermore, the two receptor proteins are immunologically related as revealed by Western blotting with anti-chicken vitellogenin receptor antibodies. The receptors from both species bind the lipovitellin moiety of vitellogenin, as revealed by ligand blotting with radiolabeled lipovitellin polypeptides as well as by a novel reverse ligand blotting procedure utilizing nitrocellulose-immobilized ligand. Since vitellogenins of chicken and Xenopus have been shown to be structurally similar and evolutionarily related (Nardelli, D., van het Schip, F. D., Gerber-Huber, S., Haefliger, J.-A., Gruber, M., AB, G., and Wahli, W. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 15377-15383), it appears that conservation of key structural elements required for efficient vitellogenesis extends from the ligands to their receptors on the oocyte plasma membrane.     

Goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus rupestris) is an extreme vtgAa-type pelagophil teleost

During oocyte maturation in the goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus rupestris) extensive proteolysis of yolk proteins generates a large pool of free amino acids that drive hydration of the pelagic egg. By cloning hepatic vitellogenins (vtg) and using mass spectrometry, N-terminal microsequencing, and Western-immunoblotting to identify the yolk proteins (Yp), we show that multiple forms of vitellogenin mRNAs (vtgAa, vtgAb, and vtgC) are expressed in the liver, but only a single major class of the Yps derived from vtgAa predominates in the oocytes. Some Yps derived from vtgAb and vtgC appear also to be incorporated in the oocytes and eggs, but only at background levels. During oocyte hydration the vtgAa-derived lipovitellin heavy chain (LvH-Aa) and its cleavage variants are completely degraded leaving only a processed lipovitellin light chain (LvL-Aa) fragment as the major yolk protein for embryonic development. The maturational cleavage site of the LvL-Aa is identified as two amino acids downstream from the conserved Tyr(1168) of VtgAa in Atlantic halibut. In addition, although a beta'-component (approximately 18 kDa) is present in the oocytes, it is not fully degraded during the hydration process.     

瘦露螽配子发生中一氧化氮合酶的分布

利用还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NADPH)黄递酶组织化学方法,对瘦露螽Phaneroptera gracilis Burmeister配子发生中一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase, NOS)分布进行了定位研究。结果表明, 一氧化氮合酶阳性反应发生在瘦露螽精子发生中的各级生精细胞的胞质中,成熟精子呈阴性。各级未成熟卵母细胞胞质均呈一氧化氮合酶阳性反应,胞质着色为深蓝黑色,核区不明显。随着卵黄颗粒的逐渐形成,胞质中的一氧化氮合酶阳性产物逐渐减少,直到卵黄颗粒完全形成。卵泡细胞在卵黄颗粒形成之前呈一氧化氮合酶阴性反应,在卵黄颗粒完成后,卵泡细胞的胞质中开始呈一氧化氮合酶阳性反应,直至卵壳的形成。提示一氧化氮参与了瘦露螽配子发生。     

中华蚱蜢卵子发生中花生凝集素受体的初步鉴定和发育表达

The distributions of PNA binding glycoconjugates in the plasma membrane of Acrida cinerea Thunberg germ cells were detected using biotin labeled PNA, for better understanding of the formation and changes of glycoconjugates during oogenesis. The ultrastructure of vitellogenesis also was observed by electron microscopy for detection of the origin and track of vitelline material. In the ovary, PNA receptors appeared in the oocyte cytoplasm of the second phases of oogenesis; positive granules gradually increased from the third phase to the fourth, and they exhibited a maximum expression before the vitellogennic stage in the cytoplasm of the oocyte. From the vitellogennic to chorionation stage, positive granules gradually declined. Binding sites on follicle cells were changed with their morphological variation in every stage of oogenesis. The vitelline of A. cinerea formed within the oocyte by degrees. The results suggest that PNA receptors and yolk materials are synthesized by the oocytc at an early period. With the development of the oocyte, some exogeous materials from two sources act as PNA receptors and others take part in vitelline synthesis. One is blood lymph that offers some useful materials to the oocyte directly through follicle cell gaps; the other are follicle cells that produce and transmit some materials to oocyte to support vitellogenesis. In addition, PNA receptors secreted by follicle cells participate in the formation of yolk membrane [ Acta Zoologica Sinica 5 l （5） ： 932 - 939, 2005 ].     

Yolk synthesis in ovarian follicles ofDrosophila

Summary The autonomous synthesis of yolk proteins in ovarian follicles ofDrosophila melanogaster was analyzed. Vitellogenic follicles were labelled with³⁵S-methionine in vitro and the newly synthesized yolk proteins were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Possible contamination of the follicle preparations caused by adhering fat body cells could be excluded by culturing follicles in males prior to labelling in vitro. When labelled follicles were cut at the nurse cell/oocyte border the three yolk proteins (YP1, YP2, YP3) were found only in posterior fragments containing ooplasm and follicle cells, whereas two radioactive protein bands (A and B) were detected in nurse cells (anterior fragments). The yolk proteins of these five bands were characterized by peptide mapping. Band A protein, migrating a little more slowly than YP2, is closely related to both YP1 and YP2 while band B contains a yolk protein which is very similar to YP3. Hence, the nurse cells have been identified as a site of vitellogenin synthesis within the ovary ofDrosophila.Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, SFB 46
