Transport kinetics of maltotriose in strains ofSaccharomyces

Summary Maltotriose transport was studied in two brewer's yeast strains, an ale strain 3001 and a lager strain 3021, using laboratory-synthesized¹⁴C-maltotriose. The maltotriose transport systems preferred a lower pH (pH 4.3) to a higher pH (pH 6.6). Two maltotriose transport affinity systems have been indentified. The high affinity system hasK _m values of 1.3 mM for strain 3021 and 1.4 mM for strain 3001. The low affinity competitively inhibited by maltose and glucose withK _i values of 58 mM and 177 mM. respectively, for strain 3021, and 55 mM and 147 mM, respectively, for strain 3001. Cells grown in maltotriose and maltose had higher maltotriose and maltose transport rates, and cells grown in glucose had lower maltortriose and maltose transport rates. Early-logarithmic phase cells transported glucose faster than either maltose or maltotriose. Cells harvested later in the growth phase had increased maltotriose and maltose transport activity. Neither strain exhibited significant differences with respect to maltose and maltotriose transport activity.     

α-Domain of human metallothionein IA can bind to metals in transgenic tobacco plants

We have introduced a genetically marked Dissociation transposable element (Ds ^HPT ) into tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Probes for the flanking regions of the T-DNA and transposed Ds ^HPT elements were obtained with the inverse polymerase chain reaction (IPCR) technique and used in RFLP linkage analyses. The RFLP map location of 11 T-DNAs carrying Ds ^HPT was determined. The T-DNAs are distributed on 7 of the 12 tomato chromosomes. To explore the feasibility of gene tagging strategies in tomato using Ds ^HPT , we examined the genomic distribution of Ds ^HPT receptor sites relative to the location of two different, but very closely linked, T-DNA insertion sites. After crosses with plants expressing Ac transposase, the hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) marker on the Ds element and the excision markers β-glucuronidase (GUS) and Basta resistance (BAR) facilitated the identification of plants bearing germinally transposed Ds ^HPT elements. RFLP mapping of 21 transposed Ds ^HPT elements originating from the two different T-DNA insertions revealed distinct patterns of reintegration sites.

RGDS肽对大鼠主动脉球囊内膜剥脱后血管壁增殖的影响

在大鼠主动脉球囊内膜剥脱术后血管壁细胞过度增殖模型上,用合成的血小板膜纤维蛋白原受体（ｇｌｙｃｏｐｒｏｔｅｉｎⅡｂ／Ⅲａｃｏｍｐｌｅｘ,ＧＰⅡｂ／Ⅲａ）拮抗剂ＲＧＤＳ（Ａｒｇ－Ｇｌｙ－Ａｓｐ－Ｓｅｒ,５０μｍｏｌ·ｋｇ－１·ｄ－１）治疗可有效地抑制损伤血管壁的细胞计数增加和内膜增厚以及血管平滑肌细胞增殖,显著降低其血管组织３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ和３Ｈ－Ｌｅｕ的参入增加程度。实验结果提示ＲＧＤＳ肽作为血管成型术的辅佐剂,对于防治血管再狭窄可能具有潜在的临床应用前景。

茶碱诱导野生毛尖蘑子实体形成的研究

５ｍｇ／Ｌ—１０ｍｇ／Ｌ的茶碱在０℃─１０℃变温条件下诱导野生毛尖蘑形成了实体原基。分析证明,此条件下毛尖蘑菌丝体呼吸强度提高,体内可溶性蛋白质增加,而ＤＮＡ与ＲＮＡ总量却稍有下降之势。本研究为珍品毛尖蘑人工驯化做了先导性工作。     

新生儿接种小剂量乙肝疫苗后3-5年随访观察

本文对９３８例初生婴儿接种小剂量（１０ｕｇ×３）乙肝疫苗后３－５年的预防效果进行了随访观察,并以２５３例初生儿未接种疫苗者作为对照,结果表明,接种组３－５年后抗－ＨＢｓ阳性率显著高于对照组,ＨＢｓＡｇ阳性率则较对照组显著为低。感染保护率８６．７％。结果还表明,接种乙肝疫苗３年后加强１次,比不加强者Ｐ／Ｎ均值显著增高。文章认为初生儿接种小剂量乙肝疫苗有长期免疫效果;接种后３年加强接种１次,可保持较高免疫力。

岩豆凝集素的圆二色性与生物学活性关系的研究

岩豆凝集素（ＭＤＬ）的远紫外圆二色性谱（ＣＤ谱）显示２１６－２１７ｎｍ处的单一负峰。此时ＭＤＬ分子含有１６．２％的α螺旋,４６．３％的β折叠和３７．５％的无规卷曲。ｐＨ９．０时负峰红移至２２０ｎｍ,且在２１７－２２２ｎｍ处的峰值几乎相同;在２０－４０℃范围内,ＣＤ谱的变化甚微;６０℃时谱峰蓝移;在８０℃或１００℃时,２１２ｎｍ处出现一大负峰。１ｍｏｌ／Ｌ或２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ脲时,ＭＤＬ的ＣＤ谱已发生明显变化,二级结构单元也有变化,凝集兔红细胞的活性也随之减弱;随脲浓度的增加,ＭＤＬ的谱峰蓝移,最终在２１２ｎｍ处出现大负峰。当胍浓度为０．７５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,ＭＤＬ的ＣＤ谱即有明显变化和活性丧失;胍浓度继续增加,ＣＤ谱逐渐成为特征的无规卷曲的谱形。在ｐＨ９．０、温度超过８０℃、脲或胍浓度分别高于２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ和０．７５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,ＭＤＬ的ＣＤ谱发生显著变化的同时,其凝集兔红细胞的生物学活性全部丧失,分子的二级结构单元也发生很大改变。     

Effects of Temperature on Stereochemistry of Enzymatic Reactions

A brief discussion of the theoretical basis for effects of temperature on stereoselectivity of enzyme catalysed reactions is presented. In theory, the stereoselectivity of an enzymatic reaction can either increase or decrease as the reaction temperature is raised. The secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus reduces 2-butanone to (R)-2-butanol at 37° C, with increased stereoselectivity at higher temperatures and in the presence of NADP analogues. In contrast, at 37°, 2-pentanone and 2-hexanone are reduced to (S)-2-pentanol and (S)-2-hexanol, respectively, but the stereoselectivity decreases at higher temperatures and in the presence of NADP analogues. Reduction of racemic 2-methylbutanal by the primary alcohol dehydrogenase from T. ethanolicus gives (S)-2-methyl-1-butanol with greater stereospecificity at 35° (51% e.e.) than at 15° (14% e.e.). Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase shows a preference for oxidation of the (S)-enantiomers of acyclic secondary alcohols at 25°, with a decrease in stereospecificity at higher temperatures.
