雄性不育高粱（3197A）的热激蛋白与育性的关系

在我们以前研究热激(40℃)诱导雄性不育高粱3197A呈现雄性可育态时的内部物质的变化,即热激蛋白的表现的基础上,进一步研究观察到,在逐渐升温过程中,雄性不育高粱幼苗出现了热激蛋白的先后合成与消失的现象,即有阶段性变化的3次协同调控现象。雄性不育高粱与雄性可育高粱比较,在常温(28℃)不育系的自显影区带33KD、35KD比可育高粱的对应带强,在逐渐升温过程中,两个高粱系的这些蛋白带的差别逐渐缩小,到40℃时,两系的标记带图型趋于一致,表现了化学物质的变化与热激使不育系转变为可育态时的温度是一致的。比较高粱的总蛋白与可溶性蛋白,探明了某些蛋白为结合蛋白。用基因表达抑制剂探明热激反应可能与细胞核基因转录和转译两级调控有关。而与细胞质关系不大。试验探明逐渐升温到46—49℃温度区间,不育系幼穗的蛋白电泳图谱中出现特异的80KD热激蛋白,可育的保持系没有,表明此蛋白质与雄性不育有关。     

雄性不育高粱线粒体与细胞核对热激的反应及其与育性关系的研究

由于我们发现热激(40℃)能诱导雄性不育高粱转变为雄性可育型的现象,故进一步探讨此现象的机理,研究了在热激条件下其细胞质(取其细胞质重要遗传物质——线粒体)中及细胞核中蛋白质的变化。试验结果,发现不育系的花粉母细胞期幼穗,在热激时细胞核中出现特异的80KD热激蛋白,且能被利福霉素、氯霉素所抑制。保持系在热激时细胞核中未出现此蛋白。80KD蛋白在结合部位存在的性质与其存在于细胞核中和线粒体中的现象是一致的。这种差异说明与雄性不育有关,且其原因是由细胞核与细胞质共同作用所致。     

温度,热激蛋白与高粱育性的变化

高粱不育系3A在热激(43～45℃)诱导下结出了种子,由不育系转变为可育系。比较3A和3B线粒体在热激条件的热激蛋白得知,它们的热激蛋白是由核编码的,在细胞质中合成后才运到线粒体中,热激2h,3A出现70、31、24、18和16kDa 5条蛋白带,3B除出现上述5条蛋白带外还多出现96、94kDa 2条,而且70kDa含量比3A大。热激4h,3B的96、94kDa消失,两系趋于一致。此时,3A和3B线粒体总蛋白比热激前大量增加。此后HSPs急剧降低。热激8h,3B线粒体仅有70、31、24和16kDa 4条蛋白带,70kDa特别明显,而3A则全部消失。从而表明,HSPs在3B中是稳定的,在3A中是缺乏或不稳定的,这些差异可能与3B育性稳定性及3A不育性有关。     

金属离子诱导高粱雄性不育系、保持系热激反应的研究

本试验以高粱雄性不育系和保持系为材料进行金属离子诱导应激反应的研究。结果表明CuSO_4溶液诱导高粱雄性不育系产生的应激反应明显,所用CuSO_4溶液最适浓度为250pmol/L,最适培养时间为4小时。ZnSO_4溶液诱导反应不明显。电泳分析和自显影检测出CuSO_4诱导产生新蛋白区带在3197A为9条,3197B为20条。但各蛋白带产生所需浓度和时间不完全相同,表明各种蛋白的基因表达是相互独立的,且这些基因的表达随发育而有变化。从分析处理后的4种酶的反应可以看出,其中细胞色素氧化酶有5条带,过氧化物酶反应灵敏,但只有2条带。通过CuSO_4处理与热激处理比较,推测3197A、3197B有其特殊的基因调控系统。从产生的可溶性蛋白或酶来看,CuSO_4能使3197A产生的应激蛋白趋向于3197B,说明两者具有相似之处。     

Heat Shock Stress Induces Cleavage and Activation of PAK2 in Apoptotic Cells

Heat shock induces a stress response in mammalian cells and can also lead to apoptotic cell death. Here we report that a 36-kDa myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase detected by an in-gel kinase assay can be drastically activated in several cell types by heat shock. Immunoblot analysis revealed that this 36-kDa MBP kinase can be recognized by an antibody against the C-terminal region of a family of p21^Cdc42/Rac-activated kinases (PAKs). By using this antibody and a PAK2-specific antibody against the N-terminal region of PAK2 as tools, we further demonstrated that heat shock can induce cleavage of PAK2 to generate a 36-kDa C-terminal catalytic fragment in mouse Balb/c 3T3 and human Hep 3B cells. The kinetic profile of appearance of the 36-kDa C-terminal catalytic fragment of PAK2 matched exactly with the activation of the 36-kDa MBP kinase in these cells induced by heat shock. In addition, the heat shock-induced cleavage and activation of PAK2 was found to be closely associated with both DNA fragmentation and activation of an ICE/CED-3 family cysteine protease termed caspase-3 in heat shock-treated Hep 3B cells. Moreover, blockage of the activation of caspase-3 by pretreating the cells with two specific tetrapeptidic inhibitors of caspases (Ac-DEVD-cho and Ac-YVAD-cmk) could substantially diminish the extent of heat shock-induced cleavage/activation of PAK2. Overall, our results point out that PAK2 is cleaved and activated during the heat shock-induced apoptotic cell death process and suggest that caspase-3 is involved in this process.     

Oxidative Stress and Heat Shock Protein Induction in Human Cells

Agents which induce heat shock protein synthesis in cultured monolayers of Hela cells such as hyperthermia, ethanol and sodium arsenite can also cause increases in the levels of lipid peroxidation as determined by the formation of TBA-products. The heat induced increases may be diminished by addition to the medium of mannitol or EGTA. These compounds are known to depress heat shock protein synthesis.

Following hyperthermia there is also a decrease in protein synthesis. In vitro studies indicate possible damage to ribosomes, and since the heat induced loss of protein synthetic capacity can be increased by superoxide dismutase inhibitors, and prevented by mannitol, such effects may be linked to the increases observed in lipid peroxidation. It is suggested that a connection exists between lipid peroxidation and heat shock protein gene activation.

拟南芥雄性不育突变体ms1502的遗传及定位分析

通过EMS诱变、背景纯化与遗传分析,从拟南芥（Arabidopsis thaliana）中筛选到了一棵隐性单基因控制的雄性不育突变体ms1502。细胞学观察发现,突变体在小孢子从四分体释放出后花药绒毡层过早衰亡,小孢子的内容物不正常地凝聚,最终无法形成正常的花粉粒。利用图位克隆的方法对该基因MSl502进行了定位,结果表明MS1502位于第4条染色体上分子标记F25124和T12H20之间105kb区间内。目前该区间内尚未见到花药发育必需基因（不育基因）的报道,因此MS1502是一个控制花粉发育的新基因。

Genetic control of male fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana: structural analyses of postmeiotic developmental mutants

Seven new male-sterile mutants (ms7–ms13) of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. (ecotype columbia) are described that show a postmeiotic defect of microspore development. In ms9 mutants, microspores recently released from the tetrad appear irregular in shape and are often without exines. The earliest evidence of abnormality in ms12 mutants is degeneration of microspores that lack normal exine sculpturing, suggesting that the MS12 product is important in the formation of pollen exine. Teratomes (abnormally enlarged microsporocytes) are also occasionally present and each has a poorly developed exine. In ms7 mutant plants, the tapetal cytoplasm disintegrates at the late vacuolate microspore stage, apparently causing the degeneration of microspores and pollen grains. With ms8 mutants, the exine of the microspores appears similar to that of the wild type. However, intine development appears impaired and pollen grains rupture prior to maturity. In ms11 mutants, the first detectable abnormality appears at the mid to late vacuolate stage. The absence of fluorescence in the microspores and tapetal cells after staining with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and the occasional presence of teratomes indicate degradation of DNA. Viable pollen from ms10 mutant plants is dehisced from anthers but appears to have surface abnormalities affecting interaction with the stigma. Pollen only germinates in high-humidity conditions or during in-vitro germination experiments. Mutant plants also have bright-green stems, suggesting that ms10 belongs to the eceriferum (cer) class of mutants. However, ms10 and cer6 are non-allelic. The ms13 mutant has a similar phenotype to ms10, suggesting is also an eceriferum mutation. Each of these seven mutants had a greater number of flowers than congenic male-fertile plants. The non-allelic nature of these mutants and their different developmental end-points indicate that seven different genes important for the later stages of pollen development have been identified.

拟南芥雄性不育突变体ms214的遗传与功能分析

经过EMS诱变、背景纯化以及遗传分析,得到一株隐性核基因控制的拟南芥雄性不育突变体ms214,用图位克隆的方法将突变基因MS214定位于拟南芥第一条染色体上顶端700kb的区间内。生物信息学分析发现,该区间内有一个与蜡质合成有关的基因CERl;测序分析表明在突变体ms214中,CERl基因第一个外显子上碱基由C^509变成了u^509的突变,导致CER蛋白在该处的氨基酸由脯氨酸^170变成了亮氨酸^170;等位实验结果表明ms214和cerl是等位突变体。ms214突变体的茎和果荚呈现出与野生型不同的亮绿色;组织切片观察结果表明,突变体花药发育各个时期无异常变化;扫描电镜观察发现ms214的茎和果荚的表皮没有蜡质的形成,但是突变体成熟花粉粒表面含油层异常,具有许多小的脂肪小滴。这些结果揭示了MS214蛋白质参与蜡质合成过程,而且脯氨酸^170是该蛋白质行使功能所必需的。

Heat Shock Proteins and Circadian Rhythms

Significant circadian rhythms in heat shock gene expression were observed in a prokaryotic species (Synechocystis). In eukaryotes, in contrast, several heat shock genes (constitutive and inducible) were shown to be constantly expressed. A few cases of circadian expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), however, have been reported. Significant circadian changes of thermotolerance were observed in yeast and several plant species. Higher thermo-tolerance can be attributed to a higher abundance of HSPs, but also to other adaptive mechanisms. Zeitgeber effects of temperature changes can be explained on the basis of their direct effects on the state variables of the clock gene (per, frq) expression and its negative feedback loop. Effects of increased HSP concentrations, as observed after heat shock, but also after light and serotonin (5HT), appear possible, in particular with respect to nuclear localization of the clock (PER) protein, but these effects have not been documented yet. Thus, the role of HSPs in the circadian clock system is little understood and, from our point of view, deserves more attention. (Chronobiology International, 13(4), 239-250, 1996)

桔梗雄性不育种质JXB-1的发现与鉴定

2006年在龙井市当地采集的3年生野生桔梗种源圃中发现雄性不育种质JXB-1个体,本研究对其生殖发育进行了进一步的实验验证。结果表明：JXB-1个体花的外观与正常的花比较无明显差异,但花药皱瘪;花药开裂,但无花粉粒散出,强行挤出来的花粉粒多数呈不规则型且无活力;套袋自交座果率为零,与30份不同桔梗种源杂交座果率为100%;经花药发育及小孢子发生过程观察,初步认为JXB-1花粉的败育主要发生在小孢子发育时期,JXB-1的绒毡层细胞过早解体,因而小孢子发育中途停止是败育的主要原因。用组织培养方法进行无性繁殖的JXB-1后代全部表现为雄性不育。初步研究结果表明JXB-1确属雄性不育,与其他种源有高度亲和力,可作为优良的育种材料。

拟南芥雄性不育突变体fne的遗传与定位分析

在T-DNA插入突变体Salk_118481株系的群体中,筛选到一株雄性不育突变体,用T-DNA序列上的一对引物进行PCR鉴定表明其基因组中没有T DNA插入。通过背景纯化与遗传分析发现该雄性不育突变体是由单个隐性基因控制的,引起不育的主要原因是在花药发育的第13~14期,花丝不能伸长以完成授粉,故该突变体命名为fne （filament no elongation）。利用图位克隆的方法对FNE基因进行了定位,结果表明FNE基因位于第五条染色体上分子标记MBD2和MMG4之间的97kb区间内。目前该区间内尚未见到控制花丝伸长基因的报道,因此,FNE基因是一个控制花丝伸长的新基因。
