microRNA靶基因预测算法研究概况及发展趋势

microRNA（miRNA）是一类约22个核苷酸（nt）长的非编码小分子RNA,广泛存在于动植物细胞中,通过和靶基因的不精确互补配对而裂解mRNA或抑制翻译的起始。准确地预测miRNA靶基因和正确地认识miRNA及其靶基因的作用机理已成为当前研究的热点。作者试图对目前常用的10余个高等生物miRNA靶基因预测软件的实现原理、适用对象及各算法的创新之处等加以综述,以便为进行靶基因预测算法设计人员提供参考,对生物学实验验证提供更好的理论指导。     

XJ—160病毒复制子型表达载体的构建

D-160病毒是我国首次分离的辛德毕斯病毒,全基因组测序已经完成。本文利用该病毒全基因序列首先构建了全基因组cDNA克隆质粒,在此基础上,利用基因重组技术将病毒结构基因序列替换为含有多个单酶切位点的序列,得到复制子表达载体质粒pRepxjl60。为验证载体的功能,将报告基因绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)和β-半乳糖苷酶基因(lacZ)分别插入到载体的多克隆位点,得到两个表达质粒;经体外转录获得的转录体RNA转染BHK-21细胞后14h,可检测到报告基因的表达。结果表明我们构建的XJ-160病毒复制子型表达载体具有自主复制功能,可以表达异源基因。本研究为进一步开发具有我国自主知识产权的甲病毒载体奠定了基础。     

Phylogeny of Rhus gall aphids (Hemiptera : Pemphigidae) based on combined molecular analysis of nuclear EF1α and mitochondrial COII genes

Rhus gall aphids (Fordinae : Melaphidini) have a disjunct distribution in East Asia and North America and have specific host plant relationships. Some of them are of economic importance and all species form sealed galls which show great variation in shape, size, structure, and galling‐site. We present a phylogeny incorporating ten species and four subspecies of Rhus gall aphids based on 1694 base pairs of nuclear elongation factor‐1α (EF1α) and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) DNA sequence data. The results suggest that Melaphidini is monophyletic and at the genus level, Schlechtendalia, Nurudea, and Floraphis were each monophyletic. Kaburagia and Meitanaphis were not monophyletic and therefore inconsistent with the current classification. The North American sumac gall aphid, Melaphis rhois, was most closely related to the East Asian Floraphis species, although this was poorly supported. The conservation of gall morphology with respect to aphid phylogeny rather than their host plants suggests that gall morphology is largely determined by the aphids. While there is no evidence of strict co‐speciation between the aphids and their primary host plants, switching between recently diverged host plants may be involved in the speciation process in Melaphidini.     

金属离子和氨基酸对Eupenicillium sp.E-UN41生物合成咪唑立宾的影响

为考察金属离子和氨基酸对Eupenicillium sp.E-UN41菌体生长及其产生的次级代谢产物咪唑立宾(MZ)的生物合成影响,在培养基中添加了无机盐和氨基酸.结果表明在发酵培养基中添加适量的镁、钠、锰、钾、钙等金属离子可提高咪唑立宾产量5％～15％,添加1.0％L-组氨酸,MZ产量提高94％.添加适宜的L-天门冬氨酸和L-甘氨酸对产MZ亦有促进作用,而L-精氨酸明显抑制Eupenicillium sp.E-UN41生物合成MZ.本研究为咪唑立宾发酵的产业化奠定了基础.

Evolved distal tail carbohydrate binding modules of Lactobacillus phage J‐1: a novel type of anti‐receptor widespread among lactic acid bacteria phages

Bacteriophage replication requires specific host‐recognition. Some siphophages harbour a large complex, the baseplate, at the tip of their non‐contractile tail. This baseplate holds receptor binding proteins (RBPs) that can recognize the host cell‐wall polysaccharide (CWPS) and specifically attach the phage to its host. While most phages possess a dedicated RBP, the phage J‐1 that infects Lactobacillus casei seemed to lack one. It has been shown that the phage J‐1 distal tail protein (Dit) plays a role in host recognition and that its sequence comprises two inserted modules compared with ‘classical’ Dits. The first insertion is similar to carbohydrate‐binding modules (CBMs), whereas the second insertion remains undocumented. Here, we determined the structure of the second insertion and found it also similar to several CBMs. Expressed insertion CBM2, but not CBM1, binds to L. casei cells and neutralize phage attachment to the bacterial cell wall and the isolated and purified CWPS of L. casei BL23 prevents CBM2 attachment to the host. Electron microscopy single particle reconstruction of the J‐1 virion baseplate revealed that CBM2 is projected at the periphery of Dit to optimally bind the CWPS receptor. Taken together, these results identify J‐1 evolved Dit as the phage RBP.
