雄性水狼蛛生殖球顶部的扫描电镜研究

本文对我国已知的十一种水狼蛛(蜘蛛目:狼蛛科)生殖球顶部用扫描电镜进行了研究。结果表明,水狼蛛属蜘蛛插入器细长,其后端位于顶突上一突起的凹槽内,顶突作为功能引导器保护着插入器,而无其他狼蛛属具有的次生真正引导器;顶突的形状和其上的突起、顶突与插入器的相互关系对于种的分类与鉴定,特别是对于近似种的区分有较大的参考价值,但仅根据插入器从顶部升起的位置来作为分新属的主要标准,笔者认为还值得商榷和进一步探讨。

大麻叶蜂的研究

大麻叶蜂是安徽麻区大麻上的主要害虫之一.单食性,以幼虫咀食大麻叶片形成孔洞和缺刻,严重时仅残留叶柄和主叶脉,致使麻皮产量锐减.据室内饲养及结合田间定点观察,大麻叶蜂在安徽六安每年发生二代,以老熟幼虫于土内结茧越冬.两性或孤雌生殖,幼虫六龄、三龄前食量小,是药剂防治的有利时机,幼虫有趋嫩性和假死性. 室内测定和田间试验表明,喷洒杀螟松、乐果、西维因和敌敌畏1,000倍液,对三龄前幼虫有很好的效果,特别是杀螟松效果更佳,杀虫快速,药效期长,即使对高龄幼虫仍有良好的效果.

Purification and Characterization of a Substrate-Size-Recognizing Metalloendopeptidase from Streptococcus cremoris H61

During the ripening of Gouda-type cheese, two kinds of endopeptidases were found to participate in the degradation of αs1-CN(f1-23), a specific product from αs1-casein hydrolyzed by chymosin. One of the endopeptidases, lactic acid bacteria endopeptidase (LEP-II), which can recognize the size of its substrates, has already been purified and characterized (T. R. Yan, N. Azuma, S. Kaminogawa, and K. Yamauchi, Eur. J. Biochem. 163:259-265, 1987). The other endopeptidase, LEP-I, was purified to homogeneity by conventional chromatographic techniques from Streptococcus cremoris H61. The enzyme appeared to be monomeric, with an apparent molecular weight of 98,000, and its isoelectric point was 5.1. For the hydrolysis of αs1-CN(f1-23), the enzyme had an optimum pH and temperature of 7.0 to 7.5 and 40°C, respectively. Its activity was inhibited by such chelating agents as EDTA and 1,10-phenanthrolin, and it could be fully reactivated by Mn²⁺. Inhibitors specific for serine and thiol proteases had no effect on the protease activity. The enzyme showed a high affinity toward the Glu-Asn peptide bond of αs1-CN(f1-23) and αs1-CN(f91-100) but showed no hydrolysis activity toward αs1-CN(f1-52), αs1-CN(61-122), αs1-CN(136-196), αs1-casein, β-casein, κ-casein, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin. The K_m and V_max of LEP-I for αs1-CN(f1-23) were 14.2 pM and 139 U, respectively.     

Purification and characterization of a novel metalloendopeptidase from Streptococcus cremoris H61. A metalloendopeptidase that recognizes the size of its substrate

An endopeptidase (LEP-II), which has a unique substrate specificity, was purified to homogeneity by conventional chromatographic techniques from Streptococcus cremoris H61. The enzyme was a metalloendopeptidase since it was inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline; the metal-depleted enzyme could be fully reactivated by micromolar levels of Zn2+ and was not inhibited by specific inhibitors for serine or thiol protease. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 80 kDa by Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration and high-performance liquid chromatography with a TSK-G3000SW column. The enzyme consisted of two identical subunits and the N-terminal sequence of LEP-II was determined up to the 19th residue. Although the enzyme had a broad substrate specificity it specifically hydrolyzed the peptide bonds involving the amino groups of hydrophobic amino acid residues. Various small polypeptides, such as alpha s1-CN(f1-23), alpha s1-CN(f91-100), oxidized insulin B chain, glucagon and some biologically active peptides were hydrolyzed. However, a variety of larger polypeptides or proteins, such as alpha s1-CN(f1-54), alpha s1-CN(f61-123), alpha s1-CN(f136-196), alpha s1-casein, beta-casein, and kappa-casein were not hydrolyzed. LEP-II recognized the size of its substrates, which were limited below a molecular mass of about 3.5 kDa.     

刺激杏仁基底外侧核对外侧缰核神经元单位放电的影响

用玻璃微电极细胞外记录大鼠外侧缰核(LHN)神经元的单位放电。共记录了110个神经元。其中痛兴奋神经元(LHPE)75个;痛抑制神经元(LHPI)11个;广动力型神经元2个;无反应神经元17个;此外还有5个对躯体与内脏伤害性刺激反应不同的神经元。电刺激杏仁基底外侧核(以下简称杏仁核,AMG)对LHPE和LHPI的自发放电主要产生抑制作用,分别占总数的81.1％和72.7％,并抑制其对伤害性刺激的反应;对无反应神经元和广动力型神经元无明显影响。AMG内微量注射吗啡能抑制LHPE的伤害性刺激反应,但对其自发放电无明显影响。微量注射纳洛酮则可增加LHPE的自发放电频率,并加强其对伤害性刺激的反应。注射纳洛酮还可以取消电针对LHPE的伤害性刺激反应的抑制作用。
