Studies on the mechanism of light-dependent germination of akinetes of blue-green algae

This paper deals with the role of light in the germination of akinetes of Anabaena azollae. The two maxima action spectra are situated at 385 and 615 nm and the stimulation of the germination process by photosynthate was confirmed. The photoreceptor absorbing at 385 nm was identified as a flavin and that at 615 nm as a phytochrome. A model is suggested for the mode of action of light in the germination of akinetes of blue-green algae.C. Tsui     

The role of the carbohydrate moiety on the size heterogeneity and immunologic determinants of human testosterone-estradiol-binding globulin

Human testosterone-estradiol-binding globulin (hTeBG) has been purified to apparent homogeneity by several laboratories using procedures which, in most instances, were labor intensive. In this report, hTeBG was purified from pregnancy serum by a newly developed two step procedure involving sequential affinity chromatography and ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography (ion-exchange HPLC). The purity of the final product was confirmed by silver stained SDS-polyacrylamide gel and reverse phase HPLC monitored at 206 nm. hTeBG purified by ion-exchange-HPLC maintained binding activity by Dextran coated charcoal (DCC) assay and size heterogeneity on SDS-polyacrylamide gels which were indistinguishable from those of the proteins purified by conventional chromatography. Removal of the carbohydrate moiety from the molecule by both enzymatic and chemical treatment reduced the apparent molecular size and eliminated lectin binding of hTeBG subunits. Deglycosylation did not, however, abolish or alter the distribution of the protomeric forms of this subunit. We conclude that hTeBG is a dimer whose monomer exhibits two protomeric forms which is not a result of carbohydrate heterogeneity. In addition, disialylated and deglycosylated hTeBG exhibited antigenic determinants identical to the native protein.     

刺激蓝斑对下丘脑弓状核单位放电的影响

本研究室以往工作表明,下丘脑弓状核(ARC)和蓝斑(LC)在痛觉调制和针刺镇痛中具有重要作用。本实验观察刺激 LC 对清醒制动大鼠 ARC 单位放电的影响。ARC 单位对刺激LC 的反应以抑制为主,在38个单位中有23个单位呈现抑制反应。ARC 单位对外周伤害性刺激的反应以兴奋为主,在27个单位中有20个单位呈现兴奋反应。刺激 LC 可以使 ARC 单位的伤害性反应的持续时间明显缩短。α_2受体激动剂(氯压啶)和α_1受体阻断剂(酚苄明)能加快ARC 单位的平均放电频率,而β-受体激动剂(异丙基肾上腺素)和β受体阻断剂(心得安)则无明显影响。这些结果提示 LC 的去甲肾上腺素能神经元对 ARC 神经元的作用是通过α受体实现的。     

螫虾腹屈肌的肌球蛋白-副肌球蛋白丝

利用甘油梯度离心方法分离和纯化螯虾腹屈肌粗肌丝,电子显微镜照片显示粗肌丝上有数条纵行条纹,指示其可能由数根亚丝所组成。粗肌丝的 SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳表明其含有肌球蛋白和副肌球蛋白,肌球蛋白仅包含有二种轻链。副肌球蛋白类晶体呈针状,具有14.5nm 和72.5nm 的横纹周期。实验结果表明,螯虾腹屈肌粗肌丝是肌球蛋白-副肌球蛋白丝。

低温对不同耐寒力的黄瓜幼苗子叶的各细胞器中NAD~+-苹果酸脱氢酶的影响

NAD~+-MDH在黄瓜子叶中的定位是细胞溶质中占总活性的55～59％,线粒体为38～35％,叶绿体为7％。其同工酶谱亦为细胞溶质中带数最多,全青为5条,粤早3号为4条,线粒体和叶绿体均为1条,品种间无明显差异。黄瓜幼苗随低温胁迫的加剧,伤害逐步加重,子叶电解质渗出率明显增加,NAD~+-MDH活性亦不断下降,其中叶绿体的NAD~+-MDH对低温最敏感,1±1℃处理就能反映品种间耐寒力的差异。叶绿体和线粒体的NAD~+-MDH同工酶对低温的反应与活性变化一致,谱带数没有差异,只是活性降低。细胞溶质部分酶带较多,各条酶带对低温的反应不同。

冷冻液温和季节对鼠尾过冷点的影响

为研究动物对寒冷的适应性,将鼠尾置于冷液浸冻,发现在一定条件下鼠尾组织可发生过冷现象。实验表明,鼠尾组织的过冷点和冷冻液温有关,同一季节冷冻液温越低过冷点越高;而不同季节相同冷冻条件下,冬季鼠尾组织的过冷点明显低于春季。 动物肢体组织的过冷特性是动物的抗寒冷特性,它和组织自身的物理化学性质有关。理沦证明,过冷度(△T)和表面张力(O)、摩尔质量(M),冰点(Ti)、密度(p)、摩尔凝固热(△H)及冰胚临界半径(rk)有关,其关系式为△T=26MTi/p△Hrk.
