温度诱导Targetron系统用于大肠杆菌高效基因失活

构建基于Te I3c/4c嗜热二型内含子的温度诱导Targetron基因失活系统(Thermotargetron),并应用于中温微生物基因编辑。在大肠杆菌HMS174(DE3)基因组中,选择Subunitofflagellum基因(fliC)和C4dicarboxylate orotate:H+symporter基因(dctA)为靶基因。根据Te I3c/4c DNA识别规则,在fliC和dctA基因中选择fliC489a、fliC828s、fliC1038s和dctA2a位点为基因打靶位点。使用重叠延伸PCR方法,基于pHK-TT1A质粒构建打靶载体。打靶载体转化HMS174菌株,对数期转化子培养液48℃热激1h后涂布于氯霉素抗性LB平板上。使用菌落PCR和DNA测序检测突变株并计算基因失活效率。获得突变株后,通过琼脂穿刺和碳源代谢实验,鉴定ΔfliC、ΔdctA突变株表型变化。菌落PCR测序结果表明,Te I3c/4c插入到fliC和dctA基因设计位点,且打靶效率高达100%。突变株表型验证实验表明,ΔfliC突变株运动能力显著下降,ΔdctA突变株苹果酸代谢能力缺失。综上所述,...     

二氢乳清酸脱氢酶的结构特征和催化循环研究进展

二氢乳清酸脱氢酶是黄素依赖的线粒体酶,它催化嘧啶从头合成的第4步反应,将二氢乳清酸氧化为乳清酸。通过选择性抑制二氢乳清酸脱氢酶,从而抑制嘧啶的合成,已被开发用于治疗癌症、自身免疫性疾病、细菌或病毒感染以及寄生虫疾病等。抑制剂的开发需详细了解二氢乳清酸脱氢酶的结构特征和催化循环机制。因此,文中主要从这两个方面进行了综述,并展望了该酶的抑制剂在临床应用中的前景。

中国新疆野苹果天然群体遗传多样性SSR分析

摘要：本研究以新疆巩留、新源、霍城、托里4个居群下的12个新疆野苹果群体为材料,应用涉及12个连锁群的17对SSR引物进行了群体微卫星位点等位基因和基因型差异分析,从地理居群、海拔高度、引物类型角度对新疆野苹果天然群体遗传多样性和遗传结构进行了 探索。结果表明：17对SSR引物在新疆野苹果中种内多态位点百分率达100%;XY1、HC2群体的基因多样性较高。聚类结果显示,同一居群下的群体分在相同的组中;巩留居群与新源居群的遗传关系最近,霍城居群次之,托里居群最远。不同地区间遗传多样性,霍城居群最高,托里居群最低。海拔高度对群体遗传结构影响较小,除了观测杂合度与海拔存在弱正相关外,大多数遗传参数与海拔无相关性。新疆野苹果群体内变异大于群体间,群体间分化很小,基因流较高。

Role of Soft Matter in the Sandwich Vein of Dragonfly Wing in Its Configuration and Aerodynamic Behaviors

The microstructure of the main longitudinal veins of the dragonfly wing and the aerodynamic behaviors of the wing were investigated in this paper.The microstructure of longitudinal vein presents two circumferential chitin layers and a protein-fiber soft layer.The dragonfly wing is corrugated due to the spatial arrangement of longitudinal veins.It was found that the corrugation angle could significantly influence the lift/drag ratio across a range of attack angles by the wind tunnel experiments.The results of the finite element analysis indicate that the protein soft layer of vein facilitates the change of the corrugation angle by allowing substantial relative twisting deformation between two neighboring veins,which is not possible in veins without a soft sandwich layer.

BRG1 variant rs1122608 on chromosome 19p13.2 confers protection against stroke and regulates expression of pre-mRNA-splicing factor SFRS3

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1122608 on chromosome 19p13.2 and in the BRG1/SMARCA4 gene was previously associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD and ischemic stroke are both associated with atherosclerosis. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that rs1122608 is associated with ischemic stroke. Further studies were used to identify the most likely mechanism by which rs1122608 regulates atherosclerosis. For case–control association studies, two independent Chinese Han GeneID cohorts were used, including a Central cohort with 1,075 cases and 2,685 controls and the Northern cohort with 1,208 cases and 824 controls. eQTL and real-time RT-PCR analyses were used to identify the potential candidate gene(s) affected by rs1122608. The minor allele T of SNP rs1122608 showed significant association with a decreased risk of ischemic stroke in the Central GeneID cohort (adjusted P _adj = 2.1 × 10^?4, OR 0.61). The association was replicated in an independent Northern GeneID cohort (P _adj = 6.00 × 10^?3, OR 0.69). The association became more significant in the combined population (P _adj = 7.86 × 10^?5, OR 0.73). Allele T of SNP rs1122608 also showed significant association with a decreased total cholesterol level (P _adj = 0.013). Allele T of rs1122608 was associated with an increased expression level of SFRS3 encoding an mRNA splicing regulator, but not with the expression of BRG1/SMARCA4 or LDLR (located 36 kb from rs1122608). Increased expression of SFSR3 may decrease IL-1β expression and secretion, resulting in reduced risk of atherosclerosis and stroke. This is the first study that demonstrates that rs1122608 confers protection against ischemic stroke and implicates splicing factor SFSR3 in the disease process.
