Using yeast two-hybrid system to detect interactions of ATP synthase subunits from Spinacia oleracea

Subunit interactions among the chloroplast ATP synthase subunits were studied using the yeast two-hybrid system. Various pairwise combinations of genes encoding a, p, y, 8 and e subunits of Spinach ATP synthase fused to the binding domain or activation domain of GAL4 DNA were introduced into yeast and then expression of a reporter gene encoding p-galactosidase was detected. Of all the combinations, that of y and e subunit genes showed the highest level of reporter gene expression, while those of a and p, a and e, p and e and p and 8 induced stable and significant reporter gene expression. The combination of 8 and e as well as that of 8 and y induced weak and unstable reporter gene expression. However, combinations of a and y, p and y and a and 8 did not induce reporter gene expression. These results suggested that specific and strong interactions between y and e, a and p, a and e, p and e and p and 8 subunits, and weak and transient interactions between 8 and e and 8 and y subunits occurred in the yeast     

Expression of TNF-α Gene in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 and Purification of Its Product by Affinity Chromatography

The effects of N (NaNO3) and C (NaAc) source in medium on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene in transgenic Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 were compared. The data showed that N source stabilized the expression of foreign protein and C source altered the synthesis of cell walls. Comparing several methods for breaking the cells, supersonic was able to extract TNF-α better than others. For purification of TNF-α, transgenic Anabaena cells were broken, the extracts were precipitated with ammonia sulfate, and the impure TNF-α was eluted from DEAE ion exchange chromatography. Electrophoresis (PAGE-SDS) showed a single band at 17 kD position.     

大肠杆菌FC40系统静止期突变中的F因子转移

本研究采用大肠杆菌GM133 rifr细胞和营养收集细胞HB214 strr进行适应性突变实验。在混合30min和2d 后添加链霉素杀死GM133基因型细胞,继续培养5d后,在选择平板上出现了一定数量的lac+strr基因型回复突变菌落。根据这些突变菌落的数量,估计在lac+突变产生之前,GM133和HB214细胞之间的接合频率分别为0.07%和7.47%。在培养了7d的选择平板上添加含链霉素的M9选择培养基,2d 后也观察到大量发生lac+突变但没有形成肉眼可见菌落的营养收集细胞。此外,在lac+突变发生后,也有F因子从GM133细胞转移进入HB214细胞。这些事实表明,在FC40系统的适应性突变实验中发生了真正的F因子转移。 Abstract:The experiment of adaptive mutation was performed by using Escherichia coli GM133 rifr as test cells and HB214 strr as scavenger cells.Transfer frequency between GM133 and HB214 was estimated,based on the number of revertants appeared on the selective plates when GM133 were killed by addition of M9 selective medium containing 100μg/mL of streptomycin at different time.After 30 minutes the cells of GM133 and HB214 were mixed,the estimated transfer frequency was about 0.07%,and two days,7.47%.After selection of 7 days,some HB214 cells with F` factor from GM133 cells and lac+ mutation were observed,but these cells failed to form the colonies which can be seen by the naked-eye.It was demonstrated that actual F` factor transfer events from test cells GM133 to scavenger cells HB214 occurred during the selection.

通过对柴河林业局头道林场一块8年生的落叶松人工林优势种群的当年生的生长节律与生物量的研究发现:优势林分的当年生枝及顶枝的生长较常规林分高峰期多、高峰期持续时间长和生长量大的优点和不同;生物量的分配的研究结果也说明优势林分的树干生物量积累的比重较常规林分高,证明了该罕见优势林分速生原因的内质性,是一个难得的优良种源。     

肝癌中HBV和HCV基因和抗原的分布及意义

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

不同社群序位布氏田鼠的繁殖行为

在实验室条件下观察了捕自内蒙古草原的不同序位布氏田鼠的繁殖行为特征。结果表明, 雌鼠对雄性配偶存在着激烈的竞争, 高序位雌鼠获得被选择、交尾及产仔的机会最多, 较低序位雌鼠若被选择并且产仔, 则其序位将随之上升; 高序位雄鼠对各个序位雌鼠均可选择, 且在繁殖期间对同性个体表现很强的攻击性, 以获得更多的交配机会。在社群繁殖中高序位雌、雄个体的作用明显高于低序位个体, 这是布氏田鼠种群长期选择进化的生存策略。实验支持了布氏田鼠为混交制、一雄多雌的婚配制度推论。

东北一季作农田秋末土壤中无机氮的累积

在我国东北一季作农田地区,秋季作物收获时土壤中累积的无机氮并不多,但经过秋末一段温度、湿度都适宜矿化作用又无作物生长利用的时期以后,封冻前旱地土壤中累积的无机氮可以达到一个较高的水平,单施化肥的旱地农田1m土体中累积的无机氮为99．9kg·hm^-2,化肥和有机肥配施的农田为145．4kg·hm^-2;水田壤中累积的无机氮较低,这是由于水田土壤长期淹水,通透性不及旱田,尽管落水后透气性有所改善,但不充分的含氧条件有利于反硝化作用,矿化的无机氮最终以N2O形式损失掉．

施硅提高水稻叶片对紫外线胁迫的抗性

采用加硅与缺硅营养液培养的方法,首次研究证明硅能提高水稻(Oryza sativa L.)叶片抗紫外线胁迫的能力.结果表明,在紫外胁迫条件下,缺硅水稻叶片表面出现明显的棕色伤害斑点,而加硅叶片未出现伤害症状.硅在水稻表皮细胞壁及细胞内部的积累明显促进了紫外吸收物质在表皮细胞中的聚集,使表皮中可溶性酚类物质含量提高17%,不溶性紫外吸收物质的含量增加65%左右.荧光显微镜观察表明,在表皮细胞外壁或胞内沉积的水合二氧化硅固体中包含着大量不溶性的酚类化合物,它们与可溶性酚类物质一起在叶片的上、下表皮细胞中形成了吸收紫外线的屏障.
