木质纤维素的微生物降解

木质纤维素广泛存在于自然界中,因结构复杂,其高效降解需要多种微生物的协同互作,由于参与木质纤维素降解的微生物种类繁多,其协同降解机理尚不完全明确。随着微生物分子生物学和组学技术的快速发展,将为微生物协同降解木质纤维素机制的研究提供新的方法和思路。笔者前期研究发现,细菌复合菌系在50℃下表现出强大的木质纤维素降解能力,菌系由可分离培养和暂时不可分离培养细菌组成,但是可分离培养细菌没有降解能力。通过宏基因组和宏转录组研究表明,与木质纤维素降解相关的某些基因表达量发生显著变化,通过组学方法有可能更加深入解释微生物协同降解木质纤维素的微生物学和酶学机理。文中从酶、纯培养菌株和复合菌群三个方面综述了木质纤维素微生物降解研究进展,着重介绍了组学技术在解析复合菌群作用机理方面的现状和应用前景,以期为探索微生物群落协同降解木质纤维素的机理提供借鉴。     

Molecular characterization of two clusters of genes encoding the Type I CAB polypeptides of PSII in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia

A Nicotiana plumbaginifolia genomic library in the phage Charon 34 was used to isolate and characterize 7 full-length genes and part of an 8th gene encoding chlorophyll a/b-binding (CAB) polypeptides. These genes are arranged in two clusters. All the genes within the clusters are arranged in opposite orientation to their neighbours. The nucleotide sequences of two genes, one from each cluster, show that both genes, designated Cab-E and Cab-C, encode very similar proteins (95.9% of homology) corresponding to type I photosystem II polypeptides. Southern blot analysis suggests that at least 19 CAB genes encoding type I PSII CAB polypeptides are present in the N. plumbaginifolia genome. We also describe the presence within the N. plumbaginifolia genome of CAB genes encoding PSII type II CAB polypeptides and PSI type I CAB polypeptides. The sequences of the 5 flanking region of three different CAB genes (Cab-E, Cab-C, and CAB-F) were determined. Two of them (Cab-C and Cab-F) share extensive homology, whereas the Cab-E promoter shows homology to Cab-C and Cab-F only in a unique region extending from the CAAT box to the TATA box. This conserved sequence is also found in the same position in promoters of CAB genes encoding type I PSII polypeptides from other plant species.Abbreviations CAB chlorophyll a/b-binding protein - bp base pair(s) - kb 1 000 bp

Organization and expression of H1 histone and H1 replacement histone genes

The H1 family is the most divergent subgroup of the highly conserved class of histone proteins [Cole: Int J Pept Protein Res 30:433–449, 1987]. In several vertebrate species, the H1 complement comprises five or more subtypes, and tissue specific patterns of H1 histones have been described. The diversity of the H1 histone family raises questions about the functions of different H1 subtypes and about the differential control of expression of their genes. The expression of main type H1 genes is coordinated with DNA replication, whereas the regulation of synthesis of replacement H1 subtypes, such as H1° and H5, and the testis specific H1t appears to be more complex. The differential control of H1 gene expression is reflected in the chromosomal organization of the genes and in different promoter structures. This review concentrates on a comparison of the chromosomal organization of main type and replacement H1 histone genes and on the differential regulation of their expression. General structural and functional data, which apply to both H1 and core histone genes and which are covered by recent reviews, will not be discussed in detail.     

Root nodules of Genista germanica harbor Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium bacteria exchanging nodC and nodZ genes

A collection of 18 previously unstudied strains isolated from root nodules of Genista germanica (German greenweed) grown in southeast Poland was evaluated for the level of genetic diversity using the BOX-PCR technique and the phylogenetic relationship based on both core (16S rRNA, dnaK, ftsA, glnII, gyrB, recA, rpoB) and nodulation (nodC and nodZ) gene sequences. Each of the 18 G. germanica root nodule isolates displayed unique BOX-PCR patterns, indicating their high level of genomic heterogeneity. Based on the comparative 16S rDNA sequence analysis, 12 isolates were affiliated to the Bradyrhizobium genus and the other strains were most similar to Rhizobium species. Phylogenetic analysis of the core gene sequences indicated that the studied Bradyrhizobium bacteria were most closely related to Bradyrhizobium japonicum, whereas Rhizobium isolates were most closely related to Rhizobium lusitanum and R. leguminosarum. The phylogenies of nodC and nodZ for the Rhizobium strains were incongruent with each other and with the phylogenies inferred from the core gene sequences. All Rhizobium nodZ gene sequences acquired in this study were grouped with the sequences of Bradyrhizobium strains. Some of the studied Rhizobium isolates were placed in the nodC phylogenetic tree together with reference Rhizobium species, while the others were closely related to Bradyrhizobium bacteria. The results provided evidence for horizontal transfer of nodulation genes between Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium. However, the horizontal transfer of nod genes was not sufficient for Rhizobium strains to form nodules on G. germanica roots, suggesting that symbiotic genes have to be adapted to the bacterial genome.

新烟碱类化合物基于烟碱结构改造修饰制备,相较菊酯、含磷类等杀虫剂,因其选择性毒力被认为是一类对人类和生态无害的农药。然而,近年来由于新烟碱类杀虫剂(neonicotinoid insecticides)过度施用,其残余或转化的物质通过在土壤与水体中累积,影响昆虫甚至哺乳动物及其生理与行为,导致了一系列生态环境问题和继发危害。本文聚焦新烟碱类杀虫剂的产业现状,面向生物降解新烟碱类杀虫剂这一迫切需求,围绕新烟碱类杀虫剂的微生物菌株资源,重点阐述微生物降解新烟碱类杀虫剂的代谢机制及其多样性。通过梳理新烟碱类杀虫剂生物降解及其应用转化的关键问题和前沿进展,旨在为借助合成生物学和宏基因组学手段建立或筛选安全可控的新烟碱类杀虫剂的高效转化体系提供参考。

Comparative analysis of genes encoding methyl coenzyme M reductase in methanogenic bacteria

Summary The sequence of the gene cluster encoding the methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR) in Methanococcus voltae was determined. It contains five open reading frames (ORF), three of which encode the known enzyme subunits. Putative ribosome binding sites were found in front of all ORFs. They differ in their degrees of complementarity to the 3 end of the 16 S rRNA, which is discussed in terms of different translation efficiencies of the respective genes. The codon usage bias is different in the subunit encoding genes compared with the two other ORFs in the cluster and two other known genes of Mc. voltae. This is interpreted in terms of increased translational accuracy of the highly expressed MCR subunit genes. The derived polypeptide sequences encoded by the five ORFs of the MCR cluster were compared to those of the respective genes in Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum Marburg and Methanosarcina barkeri. Conserved regions were detected in the enzyme subunits, which are candidates for factor binding domains. Conserved hydrophobic sequences found in the and subunits are discussed with respect to the membrane association of the enzyme.
