多能硫杆菌RubisCO基因同源性分析

以氧化亚铁硫杆菌1,5—二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶/加氧酶(RubisCO)基因为探针,与氧化硫硫杆菌和多能硫杆菌的染色体DNA杂交。结果表明,氧化硫硫杆菌的染色体DNA能够与氧化亚铁硫杆菌RubisCO基因探针杂交。而多能硫杆菌不能与其杂交,然而却能够与球形红杆菌RubisCO基因探针杂交,同源性高。由于RubisCO在进化上的高度保守性,因此认为它们在RubisCO进化关系上应属于不同的类群。

凤尾蕨科植物rbcL基因的适应性进化分析

为深入理解蕨类植物辐射式物种分化的分子适应机制,在时间框架下,采用位点模型和分支-位点模型对凤尾蕨科植物rbcL基因的进化式样进行了分析.通过比较模型M1a/M2a和M7/M8,在氨基酸水平上共鉴定出6个正选择位点:1491、251M、255V、282F、359S和375F,其中位点282F对维持Rubisco功能有重要作用.分别检验凤尾蕨科的附生分支和水蕨类分支发现,前者不具适应性进化位点,而后者有两个位点(230A和247C)经历正选择.相对于荫蔽的光条件,水生生境可能对RbcL亚基的选择作用更强.另外,基于UCLD分子钟模型估算出的风尾蕨科各分支分化时间表明,该科物种丰富度的辐射式增长发生在新生代渐新世,推测古、始新世最热事件可能对物种分化的形成也产生一定作用.这对认识薄囊蕨类如何应对被子植物兴起导致的陆地生态系统改变具重要意义.

利用PCR、DNA重组、原核与真核生物表达等技术从新疆短命植物东方旱麦草（Eremopyrum orientale）基因组中扩增出Rubisco大亚基基因rbcL（GenBank登录号为FJ346562）,并构建了原核与真核表达载体pGEX4T-1-rbcL和pcDNA3-rbcL,随后分别在原核宿主BL21（DE3）和小鼠中进行了表达,并利用真核表达载体和纯化蛋白制备的抗体,对表达产物的特异性进行了Western印迹检测。结果表明：东方旱麦草的rbcL基因可读区包含1431 bp,与旱麦草rbcL基因的同源性达99.86%,推测编码476个氨基酸,分子量56 kD。该基因在BL21中以融合蛋白GST-RBCL形式表达并存在于包含体中,融合蛋白大小约为82 kD。RT-PCR检测到该基因在小鼠肝脏中的表达。利用真核表达载体与纯化融合蛋白进行联合免疫制备的RBCL抗体可与RBCL特异性地结合,这为短命植物东方旱麦草基因后续的免疫定位检测奠定了基础。     

水稻RubisCO的纯化及其与烟草RubisCO性质的比较

利用蔗糖密度梯度离心和DEAE-Sepharose fast flow柱层析等步骤从水稻叶片中纯化了RubisCO。此法不仅快速,而且酶的收得率高,酶的比活达1.15 μmol CO_2 min~(-1) mg~(-1)。 水稻RubisCO的热稳定性比烟草酶差,在活化时对Mg~(2 )较敏感。水稻和烟草RubisCO钝化态时总巯基数和表面巯基数相同,然而当酶活化后,水稻酶表面巯基数增加,而烟草酶则减少。当这些表面巯基被修饰后,水稻酶活性损失60％而烟草酶活力仅损失15％。水稻和烟草RubisCO的远紫外CD光谱有明显的区别,这显示了两者在二级结构、酶比活和性质上的重大差别。     

蔗糖对水稻幼苗叶片谷氨酰胺合成酶和1,5-二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶/加氧酶的影响

报道了在光照和暗处培养下,不同的浓度的蔗水稻幼苗叶片GS及其同工酶、1,5－二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶／加氧酶（Rubisco）的影响。无论是在光照或在暗处,蔗糖对GS活性均有抑制作用,尤其是在较高蔗糖下作用更为明显;虽然Rubisco及可溶性蛋白的水平在光照和暗处有显著的差别,但蔗糖对其未见明显影响。NativePAGE与活性染色表明,在光照下或在暗处,蔗糖对GS2的抑制蔗糖浓度升同而加强,但对GS1未有明显影响。这些结果提示,在水稻幼苗生长中,蔗糖不能象不光一样诱导叶水GS活性及其同工酶表达。

Rice chloroplast DNA: a physical map and the location of the genes for the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and the 32 KD photosystem II reaction center protein

Summary By homogenizing rice leaves in liquid nitrogen, it was possible to isolate intact chloroplasts and, subsequently, pure rice chloroplast DNA from the purified chloroplasts. The DNA was digested by several restriction enzymes and fragments were fractionated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The sum of the fragment sizes generated by the restriction enzymes showed that the total length of the DNA is 130 kb. A circular physical map of fragments, generated by digestion with SalI, PstI, and PvuII, has been constructed. The circular DNA contains two inverted repeats of about 20 kb separated by a large, single copy region of about 75 kb and a short, single copy region of about 15 kb. The location of the gene for the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Fraction I protein) and the 32 KD photosystem II reaction center gene were determined by using as probes tobacco chloroplast DNAs containing these genes. Rice chloroplast DNA differs from chloroplast DNAs of wheat and corn as well as from dicot chloroplast DNAs by having the 32 KD gene located 20 kb removed from the end of an inverted repeat instead of close to the end, as in other plants.     

Unusual characteristics of Codium fragile chloroplast DNA revealed by physical and gene mapping

Summary A complete physical map of the Codium fragile chloroplast genome was constructed and the locations of a number of chloroplast genes were determined. Several features of this circular genome are unusual. At 89 kb in size, it is the smallest chloroplast genome known. Unlike most chloroplast genomes it lacks any large repeat elements. The 8 kb spacer region between the 16 S and 23 S rRNA genes is the largest such spacer characterized to date in chloroplast DNA. This spacer region is also unusual in that it contains the rps12 gene or at least a portion thereof. Three regions polymorphic for size are present in the Codium chloroplast genome. The psbA and psbC genes map closely to one of these regions, another region is in the spacer between the 16 S and 23 S rRNA genes and the third is very close to or possibly within the 16 S rRNA gene. The gene order in the Codium genome bears no marked resemblance to either the consensus vascular plant order or to that of any green algal or bryophyte genome.
