肿瘤转移相关基因syntenin的融合表达及纯化

肿瘤相关基因syntenin在乳腺癌的转移和浸润过程中发挥重要作用。syntenin基因编码蛋白的C端有2个串联的PDZ(PDZ1和PDZ2)结构域,它们与该蛋白的功能密切相关。PDZ结构域存在于多种蛋白质中。用PCR方法扩增了syntenin全长、N端（ΔPDZ)、串联重复的PDZ(2PDZ)、PDZ1和PDZ2结构域编码序列,并将其以正确相位与pGEX-2T载体中的GST序列编码融合,构建成重组质粒pGST-syntenin、pGST-ΔPDZ、pGST-2PDZ、pGST-PDZ1和pGST-PDZ2。将这些重组质粒分别转化E．coli DH50α后,分别表达了相应的GST融合蛋白。Westem blot检测结果表明,2种融合蛋白均能与GST抗体反应。表达的GST融合蛋白经谷胱甘肽-Sepharose 4B亲和层析获得了纯化的融合蛋白,为PDZ结构域及其相关蛋白功能研究提供了有用的材料。

利用PCR基因扩增法,以SARS冠状病毒全基因质粒为模板,获得N蛋白相应抗原基因,构建了表达载体pBV220／SARS-N,并在E．coli中获得高效表达。用纯化后的N蛋白抗原包被测定板,通过间接ELISA法对阴阳性血清进行活性测定,结果表明,在46份阳性血中有41份被测出,检出率为89．13％。本研究克隆并表达了SARS冠状病毒N蛋白,为进一步研制SARS病人抗体检测试剂和SARS疫苗奠定了基础。     

珠江口水体的光学特征及分析

通过2003年1月份对珠江口水体中的光谱分布,衰减系数,光反射率以及浮游植物对光吸收的研究结果显示:红光、蓝光衰减较快,绿光衰减较小,越向水体下层,绿光的相对含量越大,这主要是由于浮游植物在蓝光和红光波段处有吸收峰以及非藻颗粒对蓝紫光吸收较多的缘故;从总体来讲,绿光的辐亮度漫反射率(Lu/Ed)较蓝光和红光大:在上层水体中有一个反射强度较大的区域,可能是由于浮游植物在这一层的分布较多。     

热带季节雨林林窗边缘不同热力作用面热力效应的季节变化特征

通过对热带季节雨林雾凉季和湿热季昼间林窗区域不同热力作用面的热力效应初步分析,指出在西双版纳,不论是雾凉季还是湿热季,热带季节雨林林窗边缘壁面均具有不可忽视的热力作用,且由于受林缘树木的影响,热力效应较强的东侧,北侧林缘壁面最大区域出现位置高于次生林林窗,而强度小于次生林林窗,显示了林窗边缘壁面的热力效应除与太阳高度角,太阳辐射的时间长短和强度有关之外,林窗边缘树木高度也是不可忽视的因子,其结果可为进一步研究林窗小气候形成机制提供研究基础,为研究林窗更新及生物多样性问题提供科学参考。     

The Network of Knowledge approach: improving the science and society dialogue on biodiversity and ecosystem services in Europe

The absence of a good interface between scientific and other knowledge holders and decision-makers in the area of biodiversity and ecosystem services has been recognised for a long time. Despite recent advancements, e.g. with the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), challenges remain, particularly concerning the timely provision of consolidated views from different knowledge domains. To address this challenge, a strong and flexible networking approach is needed across knowledge domains and institutions. Here, we report on a broad consultation process across Europe to develop a Network of Knowledge on biodiversity and ecosystem services (NoK), an approach aiming at (1) organising institutions and knowledge holders in an adaptable and responsive framework and (2) informing decision-makers with timely and accurate biodiversity knowledge. The consultation provided a critical analysis of the needs that should be addressed by a NoK and how it could complement existing European initiatives and institutions at the interface between policy and science. Among other functions, the NoK provides consolidated scientific views on contested topics, identification of research gaps to support relevant policies, and horizon scanning activities to anticipate emerging issues. The NoK includes a capacity building component on interfacing activities and contains mechanisms to ensure its credibility, relevance and legitimacy. Such a network would need to ensure credibility, relevance and legitimacy of its work by maximizing transparency and flexibility of processes, quality of outputs, the link to data and knowledge provision, the motivation of experts for getting involved and sound communication and capacity building.     

经体外缺失诱变组建人杂交干扰素αA/γ

使用寡核苷酸指导的定点突变方法,将人αA型干扰素的完整基因与γ干扰素C端16个氨基酸的编码序列融合,在噬菌体λP_L启动子控制下,合成了一个杂交蛋白质。此蛋白质经抗人α干扰素单克隆抗体纯化后,在MDBK细胞上具有抗病毒活性,并像γ干扰素一样,可被依赖于cAMP的蛋白激酶磷酸化。[γ-~(32)P]杂交蛋白与MDBK细胞的结合,可被αA型干扰素大大抑制(70％)。     

鲤科鱼类6个正反交人工异源三倍体胚胎的染色体变化及其发育命运

采用静水压休克保留第二极体的方法,在鲤(♀)×鲢(?)、鲫(♀)×鲢(?)、白鲫(♀)×鲢(?)和鲢(♀)×鲤(?)、鲢(♀)×鲫(?)、鲢(♀)×白鲫(?)6个正反交组合中都诱导出了异源三倍体,但只有正交鲤(♀)×鲢(?)、鲫(♀)×鲢(?)和白鲫(♀)×鲢(?)3个处理组中整倍性的异源三倍体胚胎才有可能正常发育,孵化出苗;而反交鲢(♀)×鲤(?)、鲢(♀)×鲫(?)和鲢(♀)×白鲫(?)3个处理组中的异源三倍体胚胎在发育过程中不断发生染色体排除和丢失,形成非整倍体而死亡,只有少数雌核发育二倍体鲢才能孵化出苗。结果表明,鱼类人工异源三倍体胚胎的发育命运与杂交物种间的基因组大小有关。     

滇金丝猴（Rhinopithecusbieti）现状及其保护对策研究

滇金丝猴（Ｒｈｉｎｏｐｉｔｈｅｃｕｓｂｉｅｔｉ）是我国特有的珍稀濒危动物,生活在海拔３８００～４３００ｍ的原始冷杉林中,但有时也会在４３００～４７００ｍ的低矮灌丛、草甸和流石滩上活动达数小时之久,甚至能跨越近千米的无林高海拔地带,因而它们是海拔分布最高的非人灵长类。松萝是它们的主要食物,取食松萝的时间占总取食时间的９１％。猴群活动范围可达近百平方公里。笔者在历时８年的野外考察中,已查明这一物种的全部现存自然种群只有１３个,分布在云南的德钦、兰坪、潍西、丽江和西藏的芒康这五县境内,其现存种群数量为１０００～１５００只;所有现存自然种群几乎均处在相互隔离的状态,群间已不可能进行基因交流,充分表明它们已到达灭绝边缘。然而其栖息地内的商业伐木规模仍在继续扩大,周围的人口压力正在不断增加,各猴群均面临不同程度的偷猎压力。这一现状委实令人担忧。如何拯救这一“国宝”应引起我国保护学家和各级政府有关职能部门的重视

THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF THE ENAMEL IN THE GIANT PANDA OF PLEISTOCENE

<正> Enamel ultrastructures in the molar teeth of the giant panda, including Ailuropoda microta of the Early Pleistocene, Ailuropoda melanoleuca bacont of the Middle and Late Pleistocene and a living form, Ailuropoda rnelanoleuca, have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Transverse and longitudinal sections of enamel were made in order co evaluate shape, size and arrangement of the prisms. The sections were etched then with 0.074 M H_3PO_4 for 30-60 sec. Our investigations have shown certain features of the enamel which allow us to recognize differences among Ailuropoda on the basis of examination of large areas of the enamel. The results are summarized below.
