6_m2细胞转化与肌醇磷脂代谢相关性研究

肌醇磷脂代谢与V-mos癌基因转化细胞的相关性,迄今为止未见报导。本文用6m2细胞(Moloney鼠类肉瘤病毒(含V-mos)温度敏感突变株(MoMuSVts110)转化的NRK细胞)为模型,探讨了肌醇磷脂代谢与细胞转化的相关性。在33℃ (转化型温度)时,细胞内PIP(磷脂酰肌醇-4-磷酸)含量明显高于39℃(正常型温度),显示出转化型6m2细胞中存在一个提高的PI激酶活性。同时可见DG(二酰甘油)和IP_3(肌醇三磷酸)含量和蛋白激酶C(PKC)活性均明显高于正常型细胞。当细胞由39℃转至33℃10min,PIP、DG、IP_3含量和PKC活性均明显增加,并伴随有PKC活性由胞质向质膜上的转移。实验结果表明肌醇磷脂代谢参与了6m2细胞转化过程。文中对其作用机理进行了讨论。     

Comparative response ofPisum sativum nodulated with indigenous soilRhizobium populations and/or co-inoculated with aRhizobium leguminosarum strain

No significant differences in the acetylene-reducing activity and evolution of H₂ and CO₂ nodulated roots ofPisum sativum inoculated with soilRhizobium populations from two soils with different acidities (Ruzyně soil 7.6; Lukavec soil 4.9) were observed.Rhizobium population from Lukavec soil formed nodules, exhibiting a higher H₂ evolution. Co-inoculation with the Hup⁺ strain 128C30 (7×10⁷ cells per seedling) eliminated, to some extent, the effect of soil populations on physiological activity. Translated by Č. Novotny     

Transformation ofStreptomyces lincolnensis protoplasts with plasmid vectors

A method for the preparation and regeneration of protoplasts of Streptomyces lincolnensis is described. Mycelium in the early exponential phase appeared to be most suitable for this purpose and yielded up to 25% regenerated intact cells. Transformation of S. lincolnensis protoplasts was achieved using broad-host-range streptomycete plasmid vectors pIJ622, pMP66, pRS410 and pIJ943 constructed from replicons pIJ101, pSLG33 and SCP2. The efficiency of transformation was 3.10(3) transformants per micrograms plasmid DNA when (2-5).10(7) recipient protoplasts were used. Interspecific transformations showed that there is no efficient restriction system in S. lincolnensis that would limit the transfer of genetic information from S. lividans or E. coli.     

β-carboxyl catalytic effect of N-phosphoryl aspartic acid

The β-carboxylic group in N-dialkylphosphorylated aspartic acid has an activating effect that gives rise to peptides, esters, and ester exchange at the phosphoryl group. In contrast, the γ-carboxylic group of N-alkylphosphorylated glutamic acid has a much smaller effect. Some of the self-activating products were isolated and many model compounds were synthesized to study the novel activating effect of the β-carboxylic group. Mixed anhydride intermediates derived from α-carboxylphosphoryl and β-carboxylphosphoryl groups are proposed for the self-activation mechanism.     

Fructosylation of ergot alkaloids by yeast invertase

The effect of mineral nutrition on the growth and maintenance components of respiration during heterotrophic growth of barley seedlings

Spring barley seedling were grown in the dark for 21 d and respiration rates of the whole plant (including the seed), of the shoots, and of the roots were determined. A function describing the growth and maintenance components of respiration was interpolated through the experimental points and its parameters in plants under different mineral nutrition were compared. The plants grown in a complete nutrient solution showed the highest growth rate in the initial phase of development and thus reached the maximum respiration rate earlier than plants in the other variants. The highest proportion of substrate was respired in the shoot. Plants grown under deficiency of phosphorus and magnesium had a slower respiration rate than plants grown in the complete nutrient solution (NP), whereas the amount of respired substrate in plant parts was similar to that recorded in the NP plants. Plants grown in distilled water showed the lowest growth efficiency and respirated the highest proportion of substrate in the root.
