神秘果种子蛋白质的提取与降糖效用研究

本文研究神秘果种子蛋白质(SDSP)的提取条件及其降糖效用,通过考察固液比、pH值、时间和温度等因素对SDSP提取率的影响来优化提取蛋白质的条件,并利用四氧嘧啶诱导糖尿病小鼠模型分析神秘果种子蛋白质的降糖效果。实验方法如下:将实验组小鼠分为正常对照组、糖尿病模型组、SDSP实验组(200 mg/kg)和阳性对照组(80 mg/kg二甲双胍),灌胃14 d后测量空腹血糖值(FBG),胰岛素含量和体重。实验结果表明SDSP的最佳提取工艺条件为固液比1∶20、pH 8.5、时间120 min、温度50℃。测定SDSP组的FBG含量比模型组降低46%,而胰岛素含量则增加约4倍。实验表明SDSP显著降低糖尿病小鼠空腹血糖值,促进胰岛素的分泌。     

黄东海陆架区沉积物中磷的形态分布及生物可利用性

采用1992年Ruttenberg连续提取法(SEDEX)将黄东海陆架区沉积物中的磷分为交换态磷(Ex-P),Fe结合态磷(Fe-P),自生磷(Au-P),碎屑磷(De-P),有机磷(Or-P),分析了各形态磷的平面和垂直分布特征;利用沉积物年代序列测定的结果,探讨了柱状沉积物中不同形态磷的含量变化,并进一步分析了该区域磷形态的生物可利用性.结果表明,黄东海陆架区表层沉积物各形态磷平均含量为:Au-P(140.72 μg/g)＞De-P(59.23 μg/g)＞Or-P(32.69 μg/g)＞Fe-P(29.91 μg/g)＞Ex-P(5.92 μg/g);各形态磷在沉积时间序列上分布不同,反映了不同时期人类活动和气候环境等因子对磷埋藏量影响的不同,其中Au-P在长江口H1-18站位含量比南黄海中部3个站位要低得多;调查区表层潜在生物有效磷为13.55％左右,仅仅占沉积磷中的一小部分.     

利用微波辅助萃取技术提取五味子果实中五味子醇甲的研究

采用乙醇和水作为萃取剂,研究了用微波辅助萃取的方法从五味子果实中萃取五味子醇甲。以不同的萃取时间、萃取功率、萃取溶剂/基质比作为参数进行实验,利用高效液相色谱(HPLC)作为五味子醇甲的检测手段。实验结果表明:在萃取产率上,乙醇的萃取效果优于水(乙醇的萃取产率0.72%,水的萃取产率0.47%),但是在萃取选择性方面,水作为萃取剂优于乙醇。以乙醇和水作为溶剂的最优微波辅助萃取条件是:温度接近溶剂的沸点(乙醇设为72℃,水设为95℃),微波功率350 w,萃取时间5~8 min,萃取液固比12:1。萃取时间的延长和微波功率的增加都会导致五味子醇甲的萃取产率下降。

基于RAD测序技术的黄绿卷毛菇(Floccularia luteovirens)微卫星引物的开发

黄绿卷毛菇(Floccularia luteovirens)是广泛分布于青藏高原高寒草甸的一种重要的可食用的菌根真菌。先前的研究利用EST-SSR引物已经对该物种的遗传多样性及群落结构进行了研究,但研究表明EST-SSR位点多态性较低,因此想要进一步探讨形成现有遗传分布格局的机制(该物种小尺度空间范围内基株的密度及大小)需要重新开发具有更高多态性的基于核基因的微卫星位点。本研究利用RAD测序技术使用直接测序分析的方法重新开发了12对具有多态性的引物。测序结果去接头拼装后共获得46 036条重叠群。在这些序列当中共扫描到342条含有重复单元的序列,在这当中70.47%为三碱基重复(241),8.19%为二碱基重复(28)。随机选取48对检测,12对具有多态性且测序结果良好,基于3个居群63个个体的遗传多样性研究显示,所有样品中共获得60个单倍型,每个位点的单倍型数量介于2 (GSSR26L)至9 (GSSR7L,GSSR11L)之间。Gst值介于-0.03(GSSR46L)至0.28(GSSR6L)之间、Fst值介于-0.03(GSSR33L)至0.42(GSSR6L)之间。在引物GSSR47L扩增测序中发现,其扩增出的片段不仅具有重复单元数量的变化,重复单元本身也存在突变的现象,这是之前使用聚丙烯凝胶电泳所检测不到的。本研究获得的微卫星引物将为接下来小尺度空间下研究黄绿卷毛菇基株的密度、大小及动态变化提供有力的支持。

Exogenous Jasmonic Acid Inhibits Cotton Fiber Elongation

Jasmonic acid (JA) is a well-characterized phytohormone that acts in various ways to influence plant development. Its role in cotton fiber development, however, has not yet been thoroughly explored. In this study, JA was proven to be an inhibitor of ovule and fiber development in vitro. Continuous exogenous JA application inhibited fiber elongation. This effect was dependent on development stage and dosage. Fibers and ovules at three different stages of development and different JA dosages were compared. The most serious suppression was detected when ovules 1?day before anthesis (–1?DPA) were cultured in medium with 2.5?μM JA. Genes related to trichome and fiber development responded differently to JA treatment between –1?DPA and 1?day post anthesis (1 DPA). JAs (JA and JA-Ile) quantification showed that JAs content was sharply decreased from –1?DPA to 5?DPA ovules, which indicated that JA was negatively associated with fiber elongation in vivo. In addition, gene expression analysis showed the same trend. Our results demonstrate that there was a negative relationship of JA with fiber elongation in vitro and in vivo. These results are meaningful for uncovering the mechanism of fiber elongation in cotton.     

NRG1, a CC-NB-LRR protein, together with N, a TIR-NB-LRR protein, mediates resistance against tobacco mosaic virus

In animals and plants, innate immunity is regulated by nucleotide binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) proteins that mediate pathogen recognition and that activate host-cell defense responses. Plant NB-LRR proteins, referred to as R proteins, have amino-terminal domains that contain a coiled coil (CC) or that share similarity with animal Toll and interleukin 1 receptors (TIR). To investigate R protein function, we are using the TIR-NB-LRR protein N that mediates resistance against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) through recognition of the TMV p50 protein. Here, we describe N requirement gene 1 (NRG1), a novel N-resistance component that was identified by a virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) screen of a cDNA library. Surprisingly, NRG1 encodes an NB-LRR type R protein that, in contrast to N, contains a CC rather than a TIR domain. Our findings support emerging evidence that many disease-resistance pathways each recruit more than a single NB-LRR protein. The results also indicate that, in addition to the previously recognized role in elicitor recognition, NB-LRR proteins may also function in downstream signaling pathways.     

在笼型蛋白和脂筏介导的两种内吞途径中nephrin的磷酸化修饰动力学不同

研究肾小球裂隙膜的主要成分nephrin分子在细胞内的转运途径及不同转运途径对nephrin磷酸化的影响.分别应用笼型蛋白介导的内吞(clathrin-mediated endocytosis,CME)和脂筏介导的内吞(raft-mediated endocytosis,RME)标记物转铁蛋白和霍乱毒素B亚基对nephrin的内吞过程进行分析,并进一步应用两种内吞途径阻断物EPS15Δ和Dyn2aK44A,研究阻断nephrin的内吞途径对其磷酸化水平的影响.结果显示,nephrin通过笼型蛋白和脂筏介导的两种内吞途径以不同速率进行内吞;与Src酪氨酸激酶家族成员Fyn共表达时,细胞内nephrin酪氨酸磷酸化被增强,而在Src家族激酶抑制剂PP2的作用下,nephrin酪氨酸磷酸化被减弱,表明nephrin的磷酸化过程是Fyn依赖的;内吞20min时,笼型蛋白介导的内吞途径的特异性阻断物EPS15Δ降低了nephrin磷酸化水平、笼型蛋白和脂筏介导的内吞途径的通用抑制剂Dyn2aK44A则增加了nephrin的磷酸化水平,综上结果表明:单独阻断脂筏介导的内吞可引起nephrin的磷酸化水平增加,脂筏介导的内吞对nephrin磷酸化过程起下调作用.
