Nuclear import of exogenous FGF1 requires the ER-protein LRRC59 and the importins Kpnα1 and Kpnβ1

Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) taken up by cells into endocytic vesicles can be translocated across vesicular membranes into the cytosol and the nucleus where it has a growth regulatory activity. Previously, leucine-rich repeat containing 59 (LRRC59) was identified as an intracellular binding partner of FGF1, but its biological role remained unknown. Here, we show that LRRC59 is strictly required for nuclear import of exogenous FGF1. siRNA-mediated depletion of LRRC59 did not inhibit the translocation of FGF1 into cytosol, but blocked the nuclear import of FGF1. We also found that an nuclear localization sequence (NLS) in FGF1, Ran GTPase, karyopherin-α1 (Kpnα1), and Kpnβ1 were required for nuclear import of FGF1. Nuclear import of exogenous FGF2, which depends on CEP57/Translokin, was independent of LRRC59, but was dependent on Kpnα1 and Kpnβ1, while the nuclear import of FGF1 was independent of CEP57. LRRC59 is a membrane-anchored protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the nuclear envelope (NE). We found that LRRC59 possesses NLS-like sequences in its cytosolic part that can mediate nuclear import of soluble LRRC59 variants, and that the localization of LRRC59 to the NE depends on Kpnβ1. We propose that LRRC59 facilitates transport of cytosolic FGF1 through nuclear pores by interaction with Kpns and movement of LRRC59 along the ER and NE membranes.     

中国南方汉族群体MPSI型Kpn I酶切位点的遗传多态性

为研究中国汉族群体IDUA 基因Kpn I 酶切位点的遗传多态性以及该位点等位基因片段传递的规律, 采用PCR-RFLP技术, 对162例无血缘关系的健康中国汉人的324条 染色体进行检测,另又对5个家系16位成员进行同样的检测,然后用χ2检验进行统计学处理。结果表明,等位基因A1 频率为0.17,等位基因A2 频率为0.83,杂合率为29%;A1 、A2 的传递规律与理论上预计的完全符合。认为中国汉族群体IDUA 基因 Kpn I 酶切位点也具有遗传多态性, 并且与国外报道的无显著性差异;A1、A2 在世代中的传递完全符合孟德尔遗传规律。 Abstract:To investigate the genetic polymorphism of the Kpn I site in the α-L-iduronidase(IDUA) gene from a Han population in southern China and to study the mode of transmission of alleles, PCR-RFLP was used to analyze 324 chromosomes from 162 Chinese unrelated healthy Han individuals, and the analysis of the genotypes of 16 members in five families. To compare the frequencies and heterzygosity between Chinese Han population and Caucasians in Western by using χ2test. The frequency of allele 1 (450bp) was 0.17,allele 2 (390 plus 60 bp) 0.83, the heterozygosity was 29%.The genotypes of each member of all families detected was completely agreement with the theorical assessment. The locus of Kpn I in the IDUAgene from Han population has polymorphism. There is no significant difference between Chinese Han population and Caucasians in Western countries. The transmission of alleles was agreement with the Mendelian genetic law.

Fe^2＋-H2O2体系降解壳聚糖

Fe2 -H2O2体系能够有效地降解壳聚糖,反应介质的pH值、反应时间、反应温度、Fe2 浓度及H2O2浓度等实验因素对壳聚糖的降解效果都有程度不同的影响,其中以反应介质的pH值和H2O2浓度对降解反应的影响为最大.在pH值为3～5时Fe2 -H2O2体系降解壳聚糖的活性最高.适当增大H2O2的用量可以增大壳聚糖的降解程度,但当其用量增大至一定程度后,壳聚糖降解产物分子量的下降趋势明显变缓.合理的Fe2 -H2O2体系降解壳聚糖的实验条件为:介质pH值3～5;温度,室温;时间60～90 min;壳聚糖:H2O2:Fe2 =240:12～24:1～2(摩尔比).     

Convenient Synthesis of 2′-Deoxy-2-fluoroadenosine from 2-Fluoroadenine

Abstract

A convenient synthesis of 2′-deoxy-2-fluoroadenosine from commercially available 2-fluoroadenine is described. The coupling reaction of silylated 2-fluoroadenine with phenyl 3,5-bis[O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)]-2-deoxy-1-thio-D-erythro-pentofuranoside gave the corresponding 2-fluoro-2′-deoxyadenosine derivative (α/β =1:1) in good yield. The α- and β-anomers were separated by chromatography, and then desilylated to give compounds 1a and 1b.

固氮酶催化还原C_2H_2和N_2的探讨

自从Dilworth等发现固氮酶对C_2H_2的还原活性以来,用乙炔还原法研究生物固氮作用的文献大大超过~(15)N示踪的方法,这可能是前一方法更灵敏简便.近年来化学模拟生物固氮研究也把催化乙炔还原为乙烯的反应作为固氮酶活性中心模拟物络合活化底物的一种判据,依其还原活性的大小推测模型物与固氮酶活性中心的相似程度,用以指导模型物的合成.然而,固氮酶对乙炔的还原活性是否完全

H_2O_2诱导Neuro-2a细胞死亡机理的研究

细胞内线粒体呼吸链过程中的电子漏和神经细胞代谢的酶类如单胺氧化酶(MAO)等可产生活性氧物质(ROS)如H_2O_2等。ROS对细胞有毒性作用,导致细胞死亡,在许多疾病特别是神经退行性疾病中具有重要作用。我们用H_2o_2诱导N-2a神经母细胞瘤细胞,利用光镜、荧光显微镜、透射电镜观察了诱导的N-2a细胞的死亡,结果表明其死亡形式不同于典型的细胞凋亡,而类似于Ⅱ型神经细胞编程性死亡,死亡细胞染色质呈团块状凝集,细胞核膜仍保持完整。DNA不降解形成ladder,且不需要caspase-3,1的活性,但是H_2O_2诱导的Neuro-2a细胞死亡可以被Bcl-X_L,抑制。我们的结果可以说明,ROS介导的细胞毒性作用是导致Ⅱ型神经细胞编程性死亡的一个原因。

Theoretical Study On The Reaction Mechanism Of Gecl3ch2ch2cooh+h2o→gecl2ohch2ch2cooh+hcl

The mechanism and dynamical properties for the title reaction have been investigated theoretically. Three reaction pathways have been found. Geometries, vibrational frequencies, infra-red (IR) intensities and relative energies for various stationary points in the three reaction channels have been determined respectively. The corresponding rate constants at the B3LYP/6-31++G(2d,2p) level have been deduced over a wide temperature range of 200–2000 K by using canonical variational transition state theory with small curvature tunnelling effect. Solvent effects are taken into account via the Onsager model of self-constant reaction field at the same level of theory. This preliminary study shows that the complex formation is favoured by the use of water solvent.
