胁迫处理对林生山黧豆蛋白质多肽及其含量的影响

应用二维电泳技术,分析了经水分胁迫（ＰＥＧ）、盐分胁迫（ＮａＣｌ）和热激（４０℃）处理后林生山黧豆（ＬａｔｈｙｒｕｓｓｙｌｖｅｓｔｒｉｓＬ．）体内蛋白质多肽及其含量的变化。有些蛋白质经ＰＥＧ、ＮａＣｌ和热激处理后可以产生相同的变化。两种不同的胁迫因子对某些蛋白质的影响有一定的共同性。特定的胁迫条件可以造成特定的影响。不同胁迫因子对同一蛋白质多肽可以造成不同的影响。胁迫下蛋白质的变化可能与林生山黧豆抵抗和适应胁迫条件的能力以及体内非蛋白质氨基酸的代谢有关

Ce~（3＋）与G－肌动蛋白结合引起的构象变化及对聚合的影响

用Ａｅｄａｎｓ标记肌动蛋白单体Ｇ－Ａｃｔｉｎ上Ｃｙｓ３７４残基作为探针,研究了稀土离子Ｃｅ~（３＋）与Ｇ－Ａｃｔｉｎ的结合及引起的微构象变化。Ｃｅ~（３＋）在低浓度（Ｃｅ~（３＋）／Ａｃｔｉｎ摩尔比＜１）和Ｃａ~（２＋）竞争Ｇ－Ａｃｔｉｎ上二价离子的高亲合位点。Ｃｅ~（３＋）取代Ｃａ~（２＋）引起Ａｅｄａｎｓ荧光强度增强与Ｍｇ~（２＋）取代Ｃａ~（２＋）的结果相同。Ｃｅ~（３＋）／Ａｃｔｉｎ＞ｌ则导致Ａｅｄａｎｓ荧光强度下降。说明Ｃｅ~（３＋）在高低两种浓度条件下结合的位点及对Ｃｖｓ３７４的微构象的影响不同。时间分辩测得的Ａｅｄａｎｓ荧光寿命也支持这一结论。ＣＤ谱结果表明Ｃｅ~（３＋）／Ａｃｔｉｎ＜０．４,Ａｃｔｉｎ的二级结构增加,大于０．４又导致其失去。Ｃｅ~（３＋）－Ａｃｔｉｎ在有／无游离ＡＴＰ时用聚合液诱导的聚合结果表明,无游离ＡＴＰ时,极低浓度Ｃｅ~（３＋）促进聚合,高浓度虽有促进但有所减弱;有游离ＡＴＰ时,Ｃｅ~（３＋）／Ａｃｔｉｎ在实验范围内促进聚合。     

GM_3对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞磷脂代谢转换率的影响

神经节苷脂ＧＭ_３对小鼠腹腔常驻巨噬细胞（Ｒ－Ｍ）和Ｇｅ－１３２体内激活的巨噬细胞（Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ）的磷脂代谢转换有显著的影响,当这两种Ｍ在体外用ＧＭ_３处理时,表现出［￣（３２）Ｐ］Ｐｉ和［￣３Ｈ］肌醇参入ＰＩ降低,参入ＰＩＰ、ＰＩＰ_２增加;但在［￣（３２）Ｐ］Ｐｉ和［￣３Ｈ］胆碱参入ＰＣ上,Ｒ－Ｍ与Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ不同,即ＧＭ_３促进同位素前体参入Ｒ－Ｍ的ＰＣ,抑制它们参入Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ的ＰＣ．以上结果表明ＧＭ３可能提高了ＰＩ或ＰＩＰ的磷酸激酶的活性,致使［￣（３２）Ｐ］ＰＩＰ和［￣（３２）Ｐ］ＰＩＰ_２增多,［￣（３２）Ｐ］ＰＩ减少．激活的Ｍ（Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ）本身ＰＣ代谢转换率较Ｒ－Ｍ高,当Ｇｅ－１３２－Ｍ再受ＧＭ_３刺激,ＰＣ代谢转换率降低,这提示ＧＭ_３对激活的Ｍ的ＰＣ代谢转换有调节作用．

Nitrate Nonutilizing Mutants and Vegetative Compatibility Groups in Fusarium poae

Nitrate nonutilizing (nit) mutants were recovered from 24 isolates of Fusarium poae and used to force heterokaryons between these isolates and to determine vegetative compatibility. Between 30 and 90% of the mycelial blocks, cultured on medium containing chlorate, produced nit mutants. The amount of chlorate in the medium altered the frequency and spectrum of nit mutants recovered. Most of the mutants (63%) had lesions at a nitrate reductase structural locus (nit1). Another 30% were mutants at one or more loci that control the production of a molybdenum-containing cofactor necessary for nitrate reductase activity (NitM). A few (6%) of the mutations occurred in a regulatory gene specific for the nitrate reduction pathway (nit3). Pairings between nit1 and NitM mutants were made on minimal medium containing nitrate as the sole nitrogen source. A mutant grows thinly unless it forms a complementary heterokaryon upon contact with another mutant. Heterokaryon formation was indicated by dense growth where the two mutant colonies touched. The 24 isolates could be divided into 13 nonoverlapping vegetative compatibility groups, suggesting that asexual exchange of genetic information within F. poae is subject to significant limitations.     

PLD activation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with PGF2α receptor cDNA

Pertussis toxin-insensitive GTP-binding protein was observed to be involved in prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α)-induced phosphoinositide metabolism in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with PGF2α receptor cDNA (CHO-PGF2α·R cells) (Ito, S. et al. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 200: 756, 1994). In the present study, we investigated PGF2α-induced PLD activation in CHO-PGF2α·R cells. PLD activation was examined by measuring the production of [³H]phosphatidylbutanol ([³H]PBut), a specific product of the PLD-catalyzed transphosphatidylation reaction. PGF2α-induced [³H]PBut formation was concentration-dependent with the maximal level obtained at 1 μM PGF2α. The maximal [³H]PBut formation was observed at 2 min after addition of PGF2α. Depletion of extracellular Ca²⁺ with EGTA suppressed PGF2α-induced PLD activation by 50%. PKC inhibitors Ro31–8425 and calphostin C inhibited PGF2α-induced [³H]PBut formation by 50%. PTK inhibitors genistein and herbimycin A failed to inhibit PGF2α-induced PLD activation. A combination of maximal effective concentrations of PGF2α (1 μM) and PMA (100 nM) enhanced PLD activation in an additive manner. Pretreatment of the cells with PMA for 2 h down-regulated PKCα and decreased PGF2α-induced PLD activation. These results suggest that PLD activation by PGF2α is mediated by both PKC-dependent and -independent pathways and that PKCα is involved in the former pathway.     

A gene encoding a truncated large subunit of Rubisco is transcribed and salt-inducible in rice

Using the rice salt-tolerant mutant 20 as material, a cDNA library was constructed and two salt-inducible clones, SIR5.5 and SIR8.1, were isolated by differential screening. Homology analysis revealed that the two clones together constituted a chimeric rbcL which encoded a truncated large subunit of Rubisco with 337 amino-acids, plus 64 amino-acids of unknown origin. The expressions of both the normal and the chimeric locus appeared to be developmentally regulated and salt-inducible in shoots of the salt-tolerant mutant 20 and its original variety 77–170. In roots, their expressions were salt-inducible in the salt-tolerant mutant 20 whereas no, or only premature, forms were present in the salt-treated original variety 77–170. Higher concentrations of salt reduced the expressions of both normal rbcL and the chimeric locus. ABA showed no effect on their expression.
