曲霉N1-14′胞质酶活性与产L-苹果酸能力的关系

L-苹果酸(LMA)高产突变株曲霉N114′在高产酸状态下,其胞质中催化CO2固定反应的酶有四种：丙酮酸羧化酶(PC)、磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶(PEPC)、磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化激酶(PCK)和苹果酸酶(ME);除ME之外,三种羧化酶的活性与LMA产生速率呈较好的线性正相关关系;苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)活性比PC等酶高2～3个数量级;琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH)活力则明显低,几种酶中只有SDH与发酵醪中LMA含量呈线性正相关(r=0.9252)。动态研究发现在菌丝生物量正常增长情况下,胞质中蛋白含量明显变化,通气条件的改变是引起这种变化的重要原因。各种酶活性变化与胞质蛋白量变化之间的线性相关系数呈规律性变化：PC(r=0.9563)、PEPC(r=0.7688)、PCK(r=0.7300)、MDH(r=0.3920)、SDH(r=-0.2086)。不增加氮源,适当加大孢子接种量可提高LMA产率、降低琥珀酸(SA)含量,提示发酵早期胞质酶合成中存在PC先于SDH这种规律的可能性。在5L罐上通气培养120?h,LMA含量达105.88?g/L,平均产生速率0883?g/(L·h),酸对糖转化率78。43%。     

SILICEOUS SCALE PRODUCTION IN CHRYSOPHYTE AND SYNUROPHYTE ALGAE. I. EFFECTS OF SILICA-LIMITED GROWTH ON CELL SILICA CONTENT,SCALE MORPHOLOGY,AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCALE LAYER OF SYNURA PETERSENII1

The cells of synurophyte flagellates (algal class Synurophyceae, formerly included in the Chrysophyceae) are enclosed within a regularly imbricate layer of ornamented siliceous scales. Scale morphology is of critical taxonomic importance within this group of algae, and the scales are valuable indicator microfossils in paleolimnological studies. The data presented here demonstrate that scale morphology and the integrity of the scale layer can exhibit extreme variability in culture as a function of the cellular quota of silica under silica-limited growth. Silica-limited, steady-state populations of the colonial flagellate Synura petersenii Korsh. were maintained over a range of specific growth rates (μ= 0.11–0.69 days^?1) and silica cell quotas (Q_si= 0.13–2.40 pmoles Si · cell¹). Scale morphology and the organization of the scale layer became increasingly aberrant as silica stress increased. Under severe stress, scale deposition was completely suppressed so that cells appeared scale-free. This depression of scale deposition was reversible; populations of silica-starved, scale-free cells rapidly regenerated new scale layers when placed in batch culture and spiked with dissolved silica. During recovery from silica stress, cell division was repressed for 24 h while mean cell silica quota increased 25-fold. The first new scales appeared within 2 h after the silica addition, and development of the new scale layer proceeded in an approximately synchronous manner, residting in normal scale layers on virtually all cells after 48 h of recovery in Sirich medium. Silica content of silica-replete Synura cells is comparable to freshwater diatoms of siynilar size, but Synura has much greater potential quota variability than diatoms and no apparent threshold silica requirement. Silica-limited growth kinetics and competition between diatoms and Synura for silica are discussed. The results suggest that morphological variability of siliceous scales in natural populations of synurophyte flagellates may result from silica stress and that the experimental approach developed here has great potential value as a means for circumscribing ecotypic variation in scale morphology. Results also demonstrate that scale production can be uncoupled from cell division, suggesting that cell cycle regulation of silica biomineralization in the Synurophyceae may be fundamentally different from that of diatoms (algal class Bacillariophyceae). This experimental system has application in the future study of the intracellular membrane systems and the regulatory processes involved in silica biomineralization.     

Studies in the Respiratory and Carbohydrate Metabolism of Plant Tissues1: XVI. FURTHER STUDIES OF THE INFLUENCE OF IODOACETATE AS A STIMULANT OF RESPIRATION IN STRAWBERRY LEAVES

Low concentrations of iodoacetate produced large increases inCO₂ output of strawberry leaves which were not completely accountedfor by the observed losses of sugars and starch. No significantchange was observed in RQ in iodoacetate but the values, eitherin water or in iodoacetate, were generally below unity. Thus,in addition to other carbohydrates not estimated in our work,there may also be respiration of protein or organic acids. The increased rate of CO₂, output in iodoacetate was associatedwith rises in pyruvate and oxaloacetate but citrate and -ketoglutarateremained unchanged. The former changes suggested a faster trafficinto the tricarboxylic acid cycle; the content of oxaloacetateappeared to be a close index of the rate of this traffic. Atentative interpretation is given of the anomalous behaviourof citrate and -ketoglutarate in iodoacetate.     

小麦×大麦胚胎发育的研究——Ⅰ.小麦×大麦胚和胚乳发育的观察

本试验以206小麦为母本,二棱大麦旱燕3号和六棱大麦原早1号为父本进进杂交。结果表明,两个组合早期的胚胎发育基本上是正常的,前者成胚率为8.75%,后者为16.8%。胚乳核最早于授粉后3天开始形成细胞。当胚乳细胞充满囊后,很快就转入迅速解体,胚随即停止生长,没有能够进一步分化出器官来。胚乳于授粉15天后,几乎全部败育,胚亦相继夭亡。胚胎发育过程中的不正常现象普遍存在。主要是极核受精过程遭受破坏;合子和初生胚乳核发育停滞;原胚虽能正常发育而胚乳没有形成;胚乳细胞过早形成和迅速解体等。讨论了杂交不孕和胚乳败育的原因。同时,提出了幼胚离体培养的适宜时间。     

STUDIES ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE BRUSH BORDER IN INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELLS : I. Tris Disruption of Isolated Hamster Brush Borders and Density Gradient Separation of Fractions

Brush borders isolated from the epithelial cells of hamster jejunum have been dissociated by treatment with 1 M Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane into several subfractions which can be separated by means of centrifugation on glycerol density gradients. Investigation of the chemical specificity of disrupting agents suggests that the amino group of Tris, in its positively charged state, is involved. Five individual bands or fractions have been routinely recovered from density gradients. The distribution of alkaline phosphatase and maltase activities among these fractions has been studied and the results indicate that both enzymes are predominantly associated with one fraction which has been identified in a companion paper as being composed of the membranes of the brush border microvilli. A fibrillar material of unidentified origin has also been obtained from Tris-disrupted brush borders.     

STUDIES ON THE BIOCHEMISTRY AND FINE STRUCTURE OF SILICA SHELL FORMATION IN DIATOMS : I. The Structure of the Cell Wall of Cylindrotheca fusiformis Reimann and Lewin

An electron microscope study on the cell wall of the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis was carried out using stereoscopic and sectioning techniques. Material prepared by an enzyme treatment or by a mechanical method showed that the wall consists of two major components: a silica shell and organic material. Vapor of hydrofluoric acid was employed to remove the silica and thereby reveal the arrangement of the organic material. An attempt was made to increase the contrast of the organic component by "staining." Uranylacetate not only increased the electron opacity of the organic material but also apparently decreased the electron opacity of the silica shell. In ultrathin sections of complete cells, the structure as revealed by stereoscopy could be confirmed and extended. Every part of the silica shell is tightly enclosed by organic material. In the valve region the silica enclosed in this way is located between other layers of organic material. The whole cell wall is surrounded by a mucilaginous substance which stains with ruthenium red.     

Studies in the Respiratory and Carbohydrate Metabolism of Plant Tissues1: XVII. THE EFFECT OF IODOACETATE ON THE CO2 OUTPUT, PATHWAYS OF GLUCOSE RESPIRATION AND CONTENTS OF PHOSPHATE ESTERS IN STRAWBERRY LEAVES

When specifically labelled glucose was fed to strawberry leaves,the C₆/C₁, quotient (rate of release of ¹⁴CO₂ from glucose-6-¹⁴C/rateof release of ¹⁴CO₂ from glucose-1¹⁴C ranged from 0.27 to 0.35in leaves in water and from 0.46 to 0.96 in leaves fed withiodoacetate. These quotients indicate that both the glycolyticand the pentose phosphate pathways participate in the respirationof strawberry leaves, with a greater contribution from the formerin the iodoacetate increased CO₂ output. Concurrently with the increase of CO² output in iodoacetate,the contents of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), fructose-6 (F6P)and fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) increased greatly; therewas a smaller increase of phosphoenol-pyruvate (PEP). The increasein the CO₂ output in iodoacetate may be explained solely onthe basis that the increases of G6P and FDP accelerate the ratesrespectively of the pentose phosphate pathway and of glycolysisand traffic into the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The increasein content of G6P and FDP is attributed to an increase in theaccessibility of enzymes and substrates caused by iodoacetate.Alternatively the increased CO₂ output in iodoacetate may bepartly due to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation.     

Interaction of Antidepressants with the Serotonin and Norepinephrine Transporters: MUTATIONAL STUDIES OF THE S1 SUBSTRATE BINDING POCKET*

The serotonin transporter (SERT) and the norepinephrine transporter (NET) are sodium-dependent neurotransmitter transporters responsible for reuptake of released serotonin and norepinephrine, respectively, into nerve terminals in the brain. A wide range of inhibitors of SERT and NET are used as treatment of depression and anxiety disorders or as psychostimulant drugs of abuse. Despite their clinical importance, the molecular mechanisms by which various types of antidepressant drugs bind and inhibit SERT and NET are still elusive for the majority of the inhibitors, including the molecular basis for SERT/NET selectivity. Mutational analyses have suggested that a central substrate binding site (denoted the S1 pocket) also harbors an inhibitor binding site. In this study, we determine the effect of mutating six key S1 residues in human SERT (hSERT) and NET (hNET) on the potency of 15 prototypical SERT/NET inhibitors belonging to different drug classes. Analysis of the resulting drug sensitivity profiles provides novel information on drug binding modes in hSERT and hNET and identifies specific S1 residues as important molecular determinants for inhibitor potency and hSERT/hNET selectivity.
