两种虎纹捕鸟蛛昆虫毒素的分离纯化及生物学活性鉴定

结合离子交换和反相高效液相色谱从虎纹捕鸟蛛粗毒分离纯化到 2种虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 ,命名为虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 Ⅶ和虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 Ⅷ .经质谱测定这 2种毒素的分子量分别为 3981 0 2和 4 171 12 .氨基酸序列分析发现 ,这 2种虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素同源性非常高 ,只有 6个残基位点的不同 .虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 Ⅶ和虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 Ⅷ的生物学功能相似 ,都能对蝗虫起到麻痹作用 ;对小鼠的中枢神经作用高剂量能使小鼠产生致死 ,但低剂量虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 Ⅷ能使小鼠产生惊厥反应 ,而低剂量虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 Ⅶ不能使小鼠产生惊厥反应 ;这 2种毒素都能阻断小鼠离体膈神经膈肌的神经肌肉传递 ,且与虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 I混合后都具协同作用     

虎纹捕鸟蛛生物学特性的观察

虎纹捕鸟蛛（Ornithoctonus huwenna)个体大,毒性强,有强烈的攻击性,蛛毒含量大,采毒易,是进行蛛毒,蛛蛋白研究的理想试验材料,研究在饲养条件下虎纹捕鸟蛛的生活习性,捕食特点,雌蛛产卵,护卵习性,卵的孵化,蜕皮及幼蛛的发育,以及耐饥饿,耐干旱能力。     

雌性和雄性虎纹捕鸟蛛粗毒蛋白质含量比较分析

自然界虎纹捕鸟蛛雌蛛数量远多于雄蛛数量,为了探究雌、雄蛛粗毒的差异,用不同方法比较了单个虎纹捕鸟蛛雌、雄蛛粗毒的特征.雌蛛单次螫毒量为(26.5±2.47)μL,冻干后粗毒质量为(5.01±0.78)mg,明显高于雄蛛单次螫毒量(10.83±1.35)μL,冻干后粗毒质量(2.05±0.17)mg;用Lowry法和Bradford法测定雌蛛和雄蛛粗毒的蛋白质含量,两种方法均表明雄蛛粗毒中蛋白含量高于雌蛛.用反相高效液相色谱分离雌蛛和雄蛛粗毒蛋白,并215 nm检测色谱图,发现大部分洗脱峰重叠,而雄蛛色谱图中多两个主峰.Tricine SDS-PAGE电泳分析表明雌蛛粗毒相对分子质量小于10 kD的蛋白质含量较高;而Tris SDS-PAGE电泳分析表明雌蛛粗毒相对分子质量大于10 kD的蛋白质含量较低,基于雌蛛和雄蛛粗毒蛋白含量的差异,有必要对虎纹捕鸟蛛雌、雄蛛粗毒进行独立研究.     

虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素-III及其天然突变体的纯化与鉴定(英文)

虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III及其天然突变体是从虎纹捕鸟蛛粗毒中分离得到的两个毒素多肽。虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III含 33个氨基酸残基 ,其中包含 6个半胱氨酸残基 ;而其天然突变体只比虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III少了C端的色氨酸残基。MALDI TOF质谱测得虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III及其天然突变体的分子量分别为 385 3.35和 36 6 7.4 0。通过比较其理论分子量和质谱测定的分子量表明两个多肽的 6个半胱氨酸残基分别形成了三对二硫键。虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III与从同一种蜘蛛分离得到的凝集素 I具有 70 .5 %的序列相似性。生物学活性实验表明 ,虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III具有使美洲蜚蠊可逆的致瘫作用 ,其半有效剂量 (ED50 )为 (1 92 .95±1 2 0 .84 ) μg/g (P =0 .95 ) ,而且能加强由电刺激引起的大鼠输精管收缩 ;而其天然突变体却不具有上述生物学活性 ,表明C端色氨酸残基为虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III生物学活性相关残基 ;同时虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III及其天然突变体都不具有类似于凝集素 I对红细胞的凝集活性 ,表明虎纹捕鸟蛛毒素 III和凝集素 I两者氨基酸序列中不同氨基酸残基对于决定两者的生物学活性有着重要的作用

虎纹捕鸟蛛Selenocosmia huwena Wang et al.,产自广西宁明县。雌蛛比雄蛛个体大,体长约6～9mm;步足长约7～10 cm,重46～58g;遍体多黑褐色绒毛和长毛,腹部背面有5条虎皮状花纹。螯爪长约1cm。该蛛穴居地下,穴呈圆形,结构简单,深约50～100 cm,洞口布以蛛网。据文献报道,该蛛毒液具有较强的哺乳动物毒性和一定的昆虫毒性,在开发新型抗感染、抗肿瘤药物方面可能有一定的前景。1995～1998年期间,笔者在室内自然变温条件下对虎纹捕鸟蛛生活史进行了初步观察,现整理报道如下。     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.
