GFSWeb: a web tool for genome-based identification of proteins from mass spectrometric samples

The interpretation of mass spectrometry data for protein identification has become a vital component of proteomics research. However, since most existing software tools rely on protein databases, their success is limited, especially as the pace of annotation efforts fails to keep pace with sequencing. We present a publicly available, web-based version of a software tool that maps peptide mass fingerprint data directly to their genomic origin, allowing for genome-based, annotation-independent protein identification.     

Epsilon-tubulin is required for centriole duplication and microtubule organization

Centrosomes nucleate microtubules and serve as poles of the mitotic spindle. Centrioles are a core component of centrosomes and duplicate once per cell cycle. We previously identified epsilon-tubulin as a new member of the tubulin superfamily that localizes asymmetrically to the two centrosomes after duplication. We show that recruitment of epsilon-tubulin to the new centrosome can only occur after exit from S phase and that epsilon-tubulin is associated with the sub-distal appendages of mature centrioles. Xenopus laevis epsilon-tubulin was cloned and shown to be similar to human epsilon-tubulin in both sequence and localization. Depletion of epsilon-tubulin from Xenopus egg extracts blocks centriole duplication in S phase and formation of organized centrosome-independent microtubule asters in M phase. We conclude that epsilon-tubulin is a component of the sub-distal appendages of the centriole, explaining its asymmetric localization to old and new centrosomes, and that epsilon-tubulin is required for centriole duplication and organization of the pericentriolar material.     

Identification of sequence motifs in oligonucleotides whose presence is correlated with antisense activity

Design of antisense oligonucleotides targeting any mRNA can be much more efficient when several activity-enhancing motifs are included and activity-decreasing motifs are avoided. This conclusion was made after statistical analysis of data collected from >1000 experiments with phosphorothioate-modified oligonucleotides. Highly significant positive correlation between the presence of motifs CCAC, TCCC, ACTC, GCCA and CTCT in the oligonucleotide and its antisense efficiency was demonstrated. In addition, negative correlation was revealed for the motifs GGGG, ACTG, AAA and TAA. It was found that the likelihood of activity of an oligonucleotide against a desired mRNA target is sequence motif content dependent.

复杂性眼外伤患者玻璃体切割围手术期护理体会

目的:玻璃体切割术是眼科手术中比较复杂精细显手术,主要应用于治疗眼外伤导致的玻璃体出血,玻璃体浑浊,复杂性视网膜脱离以及增殖性玻璃体视网膜病变。本文主要探讨玻璃体切割术治疗复杂性眼外伤患者的围手术期护理的临床效应。方法:总结作者所在科室多年来护理眼外伤患者的临床经验,对2013年3月至2013年7月入院的75例(75只眼)复杂性眼外伤患者进行悉心的术前心理护理,完善的用药指导,充分的术前准备,术后特殊卧位的指导,预防并发症的护理及出院指导。结果:术后视力提高57例(76.0%),视力不变13(17.3%)例,视力下降5例(6.7%),28例眼内异物患者均经手术顺利取出异物。相关手术并发症经医护人员的对症治疗后均得到有效控制。患者术后满意度达98%以上,医生满意度达100%。结论:复杂性眼外伤患者玻璃体切割手术围手术期进行全方位的护理服务,对促进病人康复起到至关重要的作用。     

浮游细菌群落变化对锥状斯氏藻藻华的影响

目的:本实验以大亚湾原发性锥状斯氏藻为例,采集野外样品,分析藻华不同时期主要菌群的结构和环境样品的硫化物与赋存形态。方法:应用末端限制性片段长度多态性技术和主成分分析方法,分析藻华发生过程中浮游细菌群落相似程度的情况,得到差异显著的浮游细菌类群。选出代表类群的样品进行16S r DNA高变区测序,获取浮游细菌的分类结果及相对丰度。采用Pearson相关性分析浮游细菌、藻、硫化物两两间的相互关系。结果:早期藻华以Enterobacteriaceae为主导,各优势菌群(Enterobacteriaceae:Alteromonadaceae:Rhodobacteraceae)的比例约为8:1:21,硫元素主要以DMS形式存在;而后期Alteromonadaceae成为优势物种,各优势菌群的比例转变为3:5:25,硫的赋存形态由DMS转变为DMSO;Rhodobacteraceae在藻华的前期与后期均以优势种存在。本实验还发现藻华不同时期4种与藻呈正向相关的细菌,以及8种对藻起负向调节作用的细菌,它们在藻华生消的过程中扮演着不同的角色。结论:菌群的组成性改变与藻华生消具有一定的相关性,并对藻类的硫代谢产生影响。结果的获得有助于认识藻华微生物学过程中硫代谢的生态学功能,拓展锥状斯氏藻藻华的理论认识。
