蚕豆保卫细胞中ABA响应蛋白基因的转录

植物在不同的逆境条件下可以生成一类受脱落酸（ABA）诱导的蛋白质［脱落酸响应蛋白（ABAresPonsiveProtein，RABpr。tein）］（Bray1993）。RAB蛋白分布在不同的物种之中，许多［如Lea（Lateembryogen－。isabundant）蛋白（Dure1993）］形成于植物胚胎成熟失水过程中，但也有一些是植物受到不同逆境处理后在营养器官内所形成的「如脱水蛋白（Dehrdrin）］（Dure1993）。已发现的70余个RAB蛋白中，有30余个属于脱水蛋白。（Close等1993）RAB蛋白在植物体内的功能目前尚不了解（Bray1993）。由蛋白质的氨基酸组成分析表明，这些…     

豆薯种籽中一种抗真菌蛋白PaAFP的分离纯化和部分特性研究

各类植物由于缺少自身免疫系统的支持,因而必须依赖于其它机制来抵御外来微生物的入侵．其中的一种重要机制就是通过合成体内各类能抑制微生物生长的蛋白质来完成的［１］．已报道从植物中分离出多种不同的抗真菌蛋白．广为研究的是几丁质酶和β－１,３－葡聚糖酶,认为它们在植物对真菌病的抗性中起重要作用［２,３］;核糖体失活蛋白（ＲＩＰｓ）和一类富含半胱氨酸的碱性多肽Ｔｈｉｏｎｉｎｓ也显示有非专一的抗真菌活性［４,５］．但仍有一些蛋白质,体外表现强烈的抗真菌活性,却不属于以上范围［６,７］．本文报道了豆薯种籽中一…

西洋参胚性细胞和胚状体细胞中的核内含体与细胞质内含体

１９２１年,Ｍｏｌｉｓｈ首先在光镜下发现植物叶片细胞核中有一种晶体状的内含物（见Ｗｅｉｎｔｒａｕｂ等［１］）。后来人们陆续在某些动、植物的细胞核中观察到了这种结构［２—４］,并称之为核内含体（ｉｎｔｒａｎｕｃｌｅａｒｉｎｃｌｕｓｉｏｎｓ）。Ｂｉｇａｚｚｉ［３］曾在４５种桔梗科植物的细胞中看到了核内含体。但在离体培养的植物细胞中发现内含体的报道很少,至今仅在榛子组织培养分生细胞中看到了类似的结构［５］。我们在对西洋参体细胞胚胎发生进行超微结构研究的过程中发现,在胚性愈伤组织和胚状体细胞的核和细胞质…     

通过筛选随机多肽文库研究ZO-1中PDZ1结构域的配体结合特点

选择ZO-1的PDZ1结构域作为研究对象,以酵母双杂交为筛选系统,筛选随机多肽文库和与其它PDZ结构域的配体进行相互作用,阐明ZO-1 PDZ1的配体结合特性.ZO-1 PDZ1识别配体C末端保守的氨基酸序列通式可以表示为：［S/T］［F/Y/W］［V/I/L/C］-COOH、［S/T］［K/R］V-COOH、V［F/Y/W］［L/C］-COOH、EYV-COOH.研究发现ZO-1 PDZ1的配体同时具有3种传统PDZ结构域配体的特点,不同的是其结合配体-1位对芳香族氨基酸具有强烈的偏好性.并且某些PDZ结构域配体的-1位和-3位对结构域与配体相互作用的特异性和亲和力有重要的作用.随后通过生物信息学的方法在Swiss-Prot数据库找到与此识别规律相符合的天然人类蛋白质.根据蛋白质的功能和细胞定位等性质选择10个配体用酵母双杂交验证相互作用.证实的相互作用配体有4个.本研究希望用这样的研究策略建立一种有效的研究蛋白质相互作用的方法,通过在全蛋白质组规模上对含有结合配体保守氨基酸序列的蛋白质的查询,理论上可以找到现有数据库中所有可能与目的结构域结合的潜在配体蛋白,特别是那些筛选cDNA文库不容易获得的低丰度配体.

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.     

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.
