森林生态系统在调节气候变化和维持碳平衡中具有重要作用。国家森林公园是森林保护的主要载体,探明其碳储量和固碳速率的变化对于森林生态系统的固碳能力评估和可持续经营管理具有重要意义。本研究采用生态系统过程模型CEVSA2模型,模拟了1982—2017年中国881处国家森林公园的碳密度、碳储量和固碳速率的空间分布特征。结果表明: 国家森林公园平均碳密度为255.18 t C·hm-2,高于中国森林生态系统平均碳密度。2017年,国家森林公园总碳储量为3.56 Pg C,占全国森林生态系统总碳储量的11.0%~12.2%。1982—2017年国家森林公园平均固碳速率达到0.45 t C·hm-2·a-1,各地区国家森林公园固碳速率都在0.30 t C·hm-2·a-1以上。东北和西南地区国家森林公园的总碳储量最高。东北地区国家森林公园的土壤有机碳固碳速率最高,而华东和中南地区国家森林公园的植被碳固碳速率最高。国家森林公园面积占中国森林总面积的5.8%,在森林碳汇管理中占据着重要地位。准确评估国家森林公园的森林生长状况、固碳潜力和碳吸收特征,可为我国森林公园生态系统服务功能的总体评估提供借鉴和参考。 相似文献
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are molecules present in several life forms, possess broad-spectrum of inhibitory activity against pathogenic microorganisms, and are a promising alternative to combat the multidrug resistant pathogens. The aim of this work was to identify and characterize AMPs from Capsicum chinense fruits and to evaluate their inhibitory activities against yeasts of the genus Candida and α-amylases. Initially, after protein extraction from fruits, the extract was submitted to anion exchange chromatography resulting two fractions. Fraction D1 was further fractionated by molecular exclusion chromatography, and three fractions were obtained. These fractions showed low molecular mass peptides, and in fraction F3, only two protein bands of approximately 6.5 kDa were observed. Through mass spectrometry, we identified that the lowest molecular mass protein band of fraction F3 showed similarity with AMPs from plant defensin family. We named this peptide CcDef3 (Capsicum chinense defensin 3). The antifungal activity of these fractions was analyzed against yeasts of the genus Candida. At 200 μg/mL, fraction F1 inhibited the growth of C. tropicalis by 26%, fraction F2 inhibited 35% of the growth of C. buinensis, and fraction F3 inhibited all tested yeasts, exhibiting greater inhibition activity on the growth of the yeast C. albicans (86%) followed by C. buinensis (69%) and C. tropicalis (21%). Fractions F1 and F2 promoted membrane permeabilization of all tested yeasts and increased the endogenous induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in C. buinensis and C. tropicalis, respectively. We also observed that fraction F3 at a concentration of 50 µg/mL inhibited the α-amylase activities of Tenebrio molitor larvae by 96% and human salivary by 100%. Thus, our results show that fraction F3, which contains CcDef3, is a very promising protein fraction because it has antifungal potential and is able to inhibit the activity of different α-amylase enzymes.
96序列相似的家庭成员A和B(family with sequence similarity 96 member A and B,FAM96A和FAM96B)是属于MIP18(MMS19-interacting protein of 18 kD)家族的2个高度保守的同源蛋白,MIP18是与有丝分裂纺锤体相关的MMDX(MMS19-MIP18-XPD)复合体的亚基。研究表明,FAM96A和FAM96B在人胃肠道间质瘤、结肠癌、肝癌、胃癌和乳腺癌等多种肿瘤组织中的表达显著降低,提示其可能是作为潜在的抑癌基因参与肿瘤的发生发展,但目前关于FAM96A和FAM96B在肿瘤发生发展过程中的作用机理并不十分清楚。此外,研究发现FAM96A和FAM96B可通过与其他不同的蛋白质相互作用在体内发挥多种不同的功能。因此,就目前对于FAM96A和FAM96B结构和功能的研究所取得的进展进行了回顾与总结,并对其在肿瘤发生发展中的分子机制和相互作用蛋白鉴定的研究前景进行了展望,以期为临床上将FAM96A和FAM96B作为新的肿瘤诊断标志物和治疗靶点奠定基础,并为揭示二者在体内更多的新功能提供依据。 相似文献
Anaerobic metabolism and oxygen carrying-capacity of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) exposed to short term (three days) and long term (two weeks) moderate hypoxia (2-2.6 mg/L) was investigated. Glucose and lactate levels in hemolymph increased under both hypoxic conditions, indicating an activation of anaerobic pathways during the two-weeks exposure period. In muscle, no differences of glucose and lactate levels were observed between the control group and the exposed groups. In animals exposed to hypoxia for two weeks, hemocyanin and copper in hemolymph were higher than in animals under normoxic conditions or exposed for three days. These results indicate that an increase in oxygen carrying-capacity in shrimp is evident only after a sustained condition of hypoxia. Copper levels in the hepatopancreas decreased in both hypoxic conditions, suggesting a mobilization of copper stores for hemocyanin synthesis. These results indicate that penaeid shrimp can tolerate moderate hypoxic conditions by physiological adaptations, such as anaerobic metabolism and increased oxygen carrying-capacity. These adaptations require an adequate dietary supply of proteins and copper for hemocyanin synthesis and of carbohydrates for anaerobic metabolism. 相似文献
