基于叶片尺度观测数据的气孔导度模型评价

气孔导度(g)是控制冠层与大气之间能量和水分交换的重要因素。空气湿度是控制植物叶片气孔导度的一个关键环境因子。在过去的十几年中,普遍得到应用的是Ball-Woodrow-Berry(BWB)模型和Leuning模型中气孔导度与湿度的关系。本研究使用一个诊断变量f(H),基于农田叶片水平的光合-气孔导度观测数据,对BWB模型、Leuning模型以及新发展的power-h模型和power-D模型进行了气孔导度模拟效果的比较和评价。结果表明:BWB模型描述的是g和相对湿度(hs)之间的一种线性关系,当空气较为湿润时,模拟结果存在较大的低估;Leuning模型中反映的是g与饱和水汽压差(Ds)的非线性函数,降低了模拟结果的误差,但仍然不能很好地描述g在较湿状况下的显著升高;相比之下,两个新的模型,即Ds的指数函数和(1-hs)的指数函数形式模型能提高模拟结果的精度。这个研究结果也表明基于Ds的模型模拟效果要好于基于hs的模型。     

Purification, immobilization, and characterization of a specific lipase from Staphylococcus warneri EX17 by enzyme fractionating via adsorption on different hydrophobic supports

Staphylococcus warneri strain EX17 produces three lipases with different molecular weights of 28, 30, and 45 kDa. The 45 kDa fraction (SWL-45) has been purified from crude protein extracts by one chromatographic step based on the selective adsorption of this lipase by interfacial activation on different hydrophobic supports at low ionic strength. The adsorption of SWL-45 on octyl-Sepharose increased the enzyme activity by 60%, but the other lipases were also adsorbed on this support. Using butyl-Toyopearl, which is a lesser hydrophobic support, the purification factor was close to 20, and the only protein band detected on the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis analysis gel was that corresponding to the SWL-45, which could be easily desorbed from the support by incubation with triton X-100, producing a purified enzyme. SWL-45 was immobilized under very mild conditions on cyanogen bromide Sepharose, showing similar activities and stability as for its soluble form but without intermolecular interaction. The effects of different detergents over the activity of the immobilized SWL-45 were analyzed, which was hyperactivated by factors of 1.3 and 2.5 with 0.01% Tween 80 and 0.1% Triton X-100, respectively, while ionic detergents produced detrimental effects on the enzyme activity even at very low concentrations. Optimal reaction conditions and the effect of other additives on the enzyme activity were also investigated.     

Impacts of epitope expression kinetics and class I downregulation on the antiviral activity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes

The determinants of CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) antiviral activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remain poorly defined. Although recent technological advances have markedly enhanced the ability to detect HIV-1-specific T cells, commonly used assays do not reveal their direct interaction with virus. We investigated two determinants of CTL antiviral efficiency by manipulating HIV-1 and measuring the effects on CTL suppression of viral replication in acutely infected cells. Translocation of a Gag epitope into the early protein Nef markedly increased the activity of CTL recognizing that epitope, in comparison to HIV-1 expressing the epitope normally in the late protein Gag. Because this epitope translocation resulted not only in earlier expression but also in loss of major histocompatibility complex class I downregulation by Nef, the activities of CTL against a panel of viral constructs differing in kinetics of epitope expression and class I downmodulation were compared. The results indicated that both the timing of epitope expression and the reduction of class I have profound effects on the ability of CTL to suppress HIV-1 replication in acutely infected cells. The epitope targeting of CTL and viral control of class I therefore likely play important roles in the ability of CTL to exert pressure on HIV-1.

超声激活血卟啉对S180 肿瘤细胞表面EGFR 表达量的影响

目的：探讨超声激活血卟啉处理S180肿瘤细胞后膜表面EGFR表达量的变化。方法：将腹水瘤细胞随机分为四组,U组和UH组细胞分别于频率1．8MHz、2．0W／cm^2的超声装置中照射3min,并分别在1h3h5h后取材,应用免疫组化方法在光镜下观察EGFR的表达情况。结果：1h、3h取材,U组和UH组平均光密度值明显低于Cr组和H组,UH组最低。而5h取材时,UH组平均光密度值显著下降,其它组基本无变化。结论：提示在高频低强度处理下,随着时间的延长,超声激活HpD对EGFR的抑制作用增加,显示可能是基因调控使EGFR表达下调,从而使肿瘤细胞增殖减慢。

细胞色素P450第6亚家族基因为昆虫所特有,与抗性相关。为了检测家蚕Bombyx mori cyp6u1基因是否与耐氟性相关,首先克隆了cyp6u1基因。采用生物信息学方法获得与黑腹果蝇Drosophila melanogaster cyp6u1基因同源的家蚕B. mori cyp6u1基因序列, 预测该序列的开放阅读框（ORF）为1 476 bp, 编码491个氨基酸, 推定的蛋白质分子质量为56.15 kD, 等电点为9.23。以家蚕5龄第3天幼虫精巢cDNA为模板, 设计特异引物PCR扩增出一条约1 500 bp的条带, 大小与家蚕cyp6u1序列的ORF预测值接近, 命名为Bmcyp6u1基因（GenBank登录号：HM130560）。同源性分析表明, Bmcyp6u1基因与蜜蜂Apis mellifera的同源基因cyp6AS13的相似性为56%, 与拟南芥Arabidopsis thaliana的cyp72A82的相似性为48%, 与人Homo sapiens的cyp3A7基因的相似性为50%。芯片数据分析表明, Bmcyp6u1基因在家蚕5龄第3天幼虫各组织表达量很低, 只在精巢组织(5龄第3天)稍有表达, 推测该基因具有组织特异性。
