生物合成谷胱甘肽种间耦合ATP再生系统的构建

利用重组大肠杆菌Ⅱ 1中的谷胱甘肽合成酶系和面包酵母WSH J7中的ATP生物合成酶系 ,构建了一个以葡萄糖为能源的种间耦合ATP再生系统。经过通透性处理的酵母细胞几乎不能消耗葡萄糖。在反应体系中添加 1mmol/LAMP和 0 0 5mmol/LNADH ,即可启动酵母的酵解途径。提高耦合系统中的葡萄糖浓度 ,可促进GSH的合成。当葡萄糖浓度为 40 0mmol/L时 ,系统内GSH浓度达到 1 0 4mmol/L(3 2 g/L)。Mg2 +缺乏时 ,耦合系统和外加ATP的非耦合系统均不能合成谷胱甘肽。耦合系统中Mg2 +与ATP形成螯合物 ,可能是导致耦合系统中GSH产量较低的原因。在耦合系统中补加Mg2 +,反应 6h时GSH浓度达到 1 4 3mmol/L(4 4g/L)。     

具有高谷胱甘肽合成活性重组大肠杆菌的构建及合成反应过程

以野生型大肠杆菌E.coliⅡ为宿主细胞,转化带有编码谷胱甘肽合成酶系的基因gshⅠ和gshⅡ的质粒pGH501,获得了一株谷胱甘肽合成活性、质粒稳定性和传代稳定性俱佳,并且能够重复使用的重组大肠杆菌E.coliⅡ\|1。该菌株经过甲苯处理后,能够在胞外积累4g/L左右的谷胱甘肽(GSH)。在合成反应体系中,提高L谷氨酸浓度可促进GSH合成,但L半胱氨酸浓度增大到20mmol/L后会抑制GSH的合成。根据GSH合成反应中能量辅因子的变化情况,提出E.coliⅡ\|1细胞控制的GSH合成反应机理：由谷胱甘肽合成酶(GSHⅡ)控制的第二步反应的能量供体是ADP而非ATP,该反应是整个GSH合成反应的限速步骤,高浓度ADP可能会抑制GSHⅡ的活性。在GSH合成反应体系中添加100mmol/L的L丝氨酸-硼酸钾混合物,可以有效地防止GSH的进一步降解,反应3 h后,GSH产量达到230mmol/L(约71g/L)。     

氮源及碳氮比对产朊假丝酵母合成谷胱甘肽的影响

研究了N源对产朊假丝酵母细胞生长和谷胱甘肽(GSH)合成的影响。在此基础上,分别以(NH4)2SO4和尿素作为单一N源,摇瓶条件下研究了不同C、N比对GSH发酵的影响。结果发现尿素有利于细胞生长,而(NH4)2SO4更有利于GSH的合成,并且酵母细胞在利用这2种N源合成GSH时,各自具有最佳的C、N比((NH4)2SO4为8.3 mol/mol,尿素为5.6 mol/mol)。最佳C、N比下的GSH分批发酵结果显示,尿素是更合适的N源,最终细胞干质量和GSH产量可以分别达到16.48 g/L和246.4 mg/L。最后分别采用发酵动力学模型和代谢网络分析对该结果产生的原因进行了定量解释。     

产朊假丝酵母发酵生产谷胱甘肽的补料研究

为了实现产朊假丝酵母( Candida utilis WSH02-08)的高密度培养和提高谷胱甘肽 ( glutathione, GSH)产量,在分批发酵研究的基础上,考察了指数速率流加和DO-stat反馈流加对产朊假丝酵母合成GSH的影响.结果表明,采用指数速率流加可获得高细胞密度,但不利于GSH的合成,而采用DO-stat反馈流加较适宜细胞积累GSH.因此,提出并运用了指数速率-DO-stat组合流加策略,即采用指数速率流加实现细胞高密度培养,采用DO-stat反馈流加实现GSH的高积累,细胞量、GSH产量和胞内GSH含量分别为82.5 g/L、1120.6 mg/L和1.46%,实现了高细胞密度和高胞内GSH含量的相对统一.     

产朊假丝酵母全细胞转化合成谷胱甘肽的营养条件

为了进一步提高产朊假丝酵母全细胞转化生物合成谷胱甘肽(GSH)的能力,利用响应面分析方法对酵母培养的发酵培养基进行优化。在单因素实验的基础上,通过Plackett-Burman设计筛选出显著影响GSH转化力的2个主要因素:葡萄糖和KH2PO4。采用最陡爬坡试验和响应面设计预测了葡萄糖和KH2PO4的最佳质量浓度分别为58.5和17.2 g/L。验证实验结果表明,在该优化培养基条件下,酵母细胞的GSH转化力为1.54 mg/(g·h),比优化前提高了1倍。该结果为类似的采用全细胞转化法高效合成有用化学品的研究与开发提供了可行的优化思路。

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.
