(R)-、(S)-羰基还原酶在酿酒酵母中的表达和亚细胞定位

【目的】将增强型荧光蛋白标记的(R)-和(S)-羰基还原酶于酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A)细胞中表达,分析荧光蛋白表达谱,确定两种酶在细胞中的功能分布和亚细胞定位。【方法】采用SOE-PCR法克隆出增强型荧光蛋白与(R)-和(S)-羰基还原酶的融合基因,构建到真核表达载体pYX212中,电击转化酵母细胞,以荧光蛋白为筛选标志,观察两种酶在酵母细胞中的表达和分布。【结果】激光扫描共聚焦显微观察表明(R)-和(S)-羰基还原酶多定位于细胞内膜和细胞质中稳定表达,少数成点状分布于细胞中央。根据荧光强度可知(S)-羰基还原酶的表达水平明显高于(R)-羰基还原酶。生物转化结果显示融合型(R)-和(S)-羰基还原酶催化底物2-羟基苯乙酮,分别获得(R)-和(S)-苯基乙二醇,前者产物的光学纯度和产率为86.6%和70.4%,后者产物的光学纯度和产率分别为92.3%和81.8%。【讨论】荧光蛋白与酶的融合没有改变靶蛋白的分子构象与生物活性,酿酒酵母工程菌较重组大肠杆菌具有更明显的生物功能优势,该研究为羰基还原酶蛋白的功能表达调控与亚细胞定位的可视化研究奠定了坚实的基础。     

Histone H1 compacts DNA under force and during chromatin assembly

Histone H1 binds to linker DNA between nucleosomes, but the dynamics and biological ramifications of this interaction remain poorly understood. We performed single-molecule experiments using magnetic tweezers to determine the effects of H1 on naked DNA in buffer or during chromatin assembly in Xenopus egg extracts. In buffer, nanomolar concentrations of H1 induce bending and looping of naked DNA at stretching forces below 0.6 pN, effects that can be reversed with 2.7-pN force or in 200 mM monovalent salt concentrations. Consecutive tens-of-nanometer bending events suggest that H1 binds to naked DNA in buffer at high stoichiometries. In egg extracts, single DNA molecules assemble into nucleosomes and undergo rapid compaction. Histone H1 at endogenous physiological concentrations increases the DNA compaction rate during chromatin assembly under 2-pN force and decreases it during disassembly under 5-pN force. In egg cytoplasm, histone H1 protects sperm nuclei undergoing genome-wide decondensation and chromatin assembly from becoming abnormally stretched or fragmented due to astral microtubule pulling forces. These results reveal functional ramifications of H1 binding to DNA at the single-molecule level and suggest an important physiological role for H1 in compacting DNA under force and during chromatin assembly.

Cd(II) coordination polymers constructed from flexible disulfide ligand: Solvothermal syntheses, structures and luminescent properties

Four novel coordination polymers, [Cd(Hdtbb)(dtbb)_0.5(DMF)]_n (1), {[Cd(dtbb)(2,2′-bpy)(H₂O)]·2DMA}_n (2), {[Cd₂(dtbb)₂(1,4-bix)₂]·3DMF}_n (3) and [Cd(dtbb)(1,4-btx)]_n (4) [H₂dtbb = 2,2-dithiobisbenzoic acid, 2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,4-bix = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, 1,4-btx = 1,4-bis(triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene] have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 possess one-dimensional (1D) infinite structures. The structures of complexes 3 and 4 exhibit two dimensional (2D) frameworks, which mainly due to the differences in the bridging modes of dtbb²⁻ ligand and the effect of the N-donor auxiliary ligands. The infrared spectra, thermogravimetric and luminescent properties were also investigated for these compounds.     

A Dominant Mutation in ARL2 Causes Impaired Adventitious Root Development in Rice

Adventitious roots are vital for water and nutrient assimilation by cereal crops because they comprise the bulk of the fibrous root system. We isolated and analyzed a rice mutant, adventitious rootless 2 (arl2), which failed to initiate adventitious root primordia during early development. Its seminal root produced fewer lateral roots than from the wild type. This mutant also exhibited pleiotropic phenotypes of longer and thicker seminal roots, a different morphology for the first leaf, delayed heading, and a greater tiller angle. Physiological experiments showed that exogenous auxin and ethylene could rescue adventitious root growth, a response opposite that for two previously reported mutants, arl1 and gnom1. Activity in the auxin signal pathway and the polar auxin transport system was normal for arl2. Compared with the wild type, arl2 plants showed enhanced sensitivity to ethephon but decreased sensitivity to AgNO₃, an inhibitor of ethylene. Genetics analysis demonstrated that this mutant is controlled by a single dominant gene; ARL2 was mapped within a 100-kb interval on the short arm of chromosome 2.
