影响豌豆Rubisco组装的因子及其作用机制

将新鲜制备的不含Rubisco的豌豆叶片低分子量（LMW）蛋白组分在离体条件下室温保温48h后,经ND－PAGE分析发现,ATP和Mg^2 是组装的必需条件。随着Mg^2 浓度的增加,组装成的Rubisco量逐渐增加,直至其浓度到2．5mmol/L后达到平衡。K^ 对组装有抑制作用,抑制程度随着K^ 浓度增加逐渐增强,当K^ 浓度为5mmol/L时组装被抑制56％,当K^ 浓度达到40mmol/L时,组装被抑制高达90％以上;但同样浓度的Na^ 则没有抑制作用。另外,以羟自由基对豌豆LMW蛋白组分中的大亚基进行降解处理,对大亚基专一性降解肽谱与对全酶中和相同,也能产生37kD的降解肽段,而且,预先经ATP和Mg^2 处理的样品,LMW组分中37kD的大亚基降解条带会消失,而在20－30kD位置附近产生新的降解条带;而K^ 预处理同样能够产生20－30kD大亚基的降解条带,但其37kD的大亚基降解条带没有消失,这说明K^ 对组装的抑制作用可能是通过与组装中间体结构后产生不利于组装的构象变化实现的。     

几种因子对离体豌豆叶绿体蛋白质合成的影响

利用制备的豌豆完整叶绿体研究了离体条件下蛋白质合成的条件。结果表明：叶绿体蛋白质合成的饱和光强为450μmol-2s－1,合成的速率在最初5min内最大,此后随时间延长而合成速率下降;K 对蛋白质合成有促进作用,其最适浓度为30-40mmol/L,进一步增加浓度其促进作用反而降低;Mg2 在1mmol／L以下对蛋白质合成有轻微的促进作用,当浓度超过1．5mmol/L则开始产生明显的抑制;叶绿体的蛋白质合成随着外源氨基酸浓度的增加而很快地增加,但赵过200μmol/L以后蛋白质合成随浓度增加而有所降低。DCMU抑制叶绿体蛋白质的合成,当浓度达10μmol/L时,其抑制作用达41％。荧光自显影结果表明,叶绿体合成的主要问质蛋白为Rubisco大亚基,合成的类囊体膜蛋白中以32kD蛋白较为明显。     

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

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℃,pH 7.5时,这一步裂解反应能有效进行.

热带假丝酵母酰基辅酶A氧化酶的纯化及性质研究

利用热带假丝酵母由烷烃生产二元酸时,二元酸面临被β氧化降解的代谢途径。酰基辅酶A氧化酶是二元酸β氧化的限速酶。以热带假丝酵母1230菌株为材料,经硫酸铵分级沉淀、阴离子交换柱层析、BlueSepharose亲和柱层析,得到电泳均一的酰基辅酶A氧化酶。该酶有两种亚基,分子量分别为74kD和78kD。酶作用最适pH和最适温度分别为80和50℃。金属离子Ag+、Pb2+完全抑制酶活性,Ba2+、Mg2+、Ca2+对酶活性有明显抑制作用。丙烯酸是酶的反竞争性抑制剂,Ki为0633mmol/L,维生素C是竞争性抑制剂,Ki为2.01×10-3mmol/L。     

烟草Rubisco活化酶的纯化及其特性

利用35％饱和硫酸铵分部、DEAE－Sephacel和FPIC－MonoQ柱层析等步骤从烟草叶片中纯化了Rubisco活化酶,并制备了其专一性抗体。此法不仅快速,而且比活力高。以往认为菠菜和拟南芥Rubisco活化酶由两种亚基组成。通过快速制备的粗提液分析．发现烟草Rubisco活化酶由一种42kD的亚基组成。即使在有多种蛋白酶抑制剂存在的情况下,此亚基仍很易降解为39kD的亚基。ATP不仅对酶的活性所必需,而且也有利于维持酶的稳定性。该酶的热稳定性远比Rubisco差。     

玉米根V-ATPase的A亚基磷酸化位点的鉴定

以玉米(Zea mays L)根的高纯度液泡膜为材料进行的磷酸化反应表明,液泡膜蛋白的磷酸化可明显提高v型H -ATPase(V-ATPase)的ATP水解活性和H 转运活性.进一步研究表明,纯化的液泡膜蛋白能被硫代磷酸化,用V-ATPase的A亚基抗体将一条约69 kD的条带鉴定为A亚基.为了测定V-ATPase的A亚基的磷酸化位点,从硫代磷酸化的凝胶中切下A亚基条带并用胰蛋白酶彻底消化.用RP-HPLC分离纯化酶解片断,收集纯化的硫代磷酸化肽段进行质谱分析所测定的分子量为573.83 Da.A亚基胰蛋白酶彻底消化后能产生61个肽段,只有F56肽段的分子量573.66 Da与573.83 Da最接近,而且F56肽段上只有第525位的丝氨酸可以被磷酸化.因此可以确定,玉米根V-AT-Pase A亚基的潜在磷酸化位点为Ser525.就我们所知,这是首次确定植物V-ATPase A亚基的磷酸化位点.     

H2O2对水稻Rubisco稳定性的影响

H2 O2 浓度低于 2 0mmol·L-1时 ,Rubisco分子稳定 ;高于 2 0mmol·L-1则Rubisco的大亚基之间发生交联 ,全酶发生聚沉。H2 O2 处理后 ,Rubisco表面巯基数目减少 ,对两种蛋白水解酶尤其是胰蛋白酶的敏感性增强 ,大亚基水解明显增加。H2 O2 处理只会增加Rubisco大亚基的水解程度 ,不会造成新的水解位点

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

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.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
