Himasthla quissetensis: uptake and utilization of glucose by rediae as determined by autoradiography and respirometry

Daughter rediae of Himasthla quissetensis removed from the digestive gland of Nassarius obsoletus were placed in sterilized seawater fortified with antibiotics. When [³H]-glucose was added to this medium and autoradiographs were made after 3, 9, and 24 hr of exposure, labeling was observed associated with the redial walls and developing germ balls and cercariae within the brood chambers. Respirometric determinations on starved rediae suspended in the seawater medium with and without glucose revealed the rate of oxygen utilization by rediae exposed to exogenous glucose is significantly elevated. These results are interpreted to mean that the daughter rediae of H. quissetensis can take up and utilize glucose.     

天冬酰胺酶及PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶对L-天冬酰胺、谷氨酰胺亲和性的研究

本文报导了天冬酰胺酶及PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶对废物L-天冬酰胺、谷氨酰胺亲和性的研究,结果表明:PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶对谷氨酰胺的亲和性明显强于天冬酰胺酶(Km值分别为7.35×10~(-3)mol/L和7.14×10~(-2)mol/L),对天冬酰胺的亲和性略强于天冬酰胺酶(Km值分别为2.9×10~(-5)mol/L和4.0×10~(-5)mol/L)。天冬酰胺酶和PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶的CD光谱表明:天冬酰胺和谷氨酰胺对天冬酰胺酶和PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶的构象影响较大,但天冬酰胺酶和PEG_2-天冬酰胺酶的构象变化趋势有明显的不同。

recA基因通过同源重组途径参与由整合质粒发动的大肠杆菌染色体复制

我们在前文中报道由整合的F'质粒所发动的大肠杆菌染色体的复制依赖于recA基因。本文报道有关recA、recB、recC以及lexA等在染色体复制中的作用,实验结果说明,recA基因通过同源重组途径而不是通过SOS途径参与复制,而且recA基因和Chi热点无关。实验结果还说明,RecBC酶的依赖于ATP的双链DNA外切核酸酶活性和recA基因的作用无关。

Synteny on mouse chromosome 5 of homologs for human DNA loci linked to the Huntington disease gene

Comparative mapping in man and mouse has revealed frequent conservation of chromosomal segments, offering a potential approach to human disease genes via their murine homologs. Using DNA markers near the Huntington disease gene on the short arm of chromosome 4, we defined a conserved linkage group on mouse chromosome 5. Linkage analyses using recombinant inbred strains, a standard outcross, and an interspecific backcross were used to assign homologs for five human loci, D4S43, D4S62, QDPR, D4S76, and D4S80, to chromosome 5 and to determine their relationships with previously mapped markers for this autosome. The relative order of the conserved loci was preserved in a linkage group that spanned 13% recombination in the interspecific backcross analysis. The most proximal of the conserved markers on the mouse map, D4S43h, showed no recombination with Emv-1, an endogenous ecotropic virus, in 84 outcross progeny and 19 recombinant inbred strains. Hx, a dominant mutation that causes deformities in limb development, maps approximately 2 cM proximal to Emv-1. Since the human D4S43 locus is less than 1 cM proximal to HD near the telomere of chromosome 4, the murine counterpart of the HD gene might lie between Hx and Emv-1 or D4S43h. Cloning of the region between these markers could generate new probes for conserved human sequences in the vicinity of the HD gene or possibly candidates for the murine counterpart of this human disease locus.
