猪精子凝集素的纯化,性质及其作用

用胎球蛋白－Ｓｅｐｈａｒｏｓｅ亲和层析和凝胶过滤层析从精子和精浆中分离纯化了猪精子凝集素（简称ＢＳＬ）。ＢＳＬ的血凝活性只被若干糖蛋白和聚糖所抑制。ＢＳＬ的分子量为５６ｋｄ,由分子量分别为１３．６ｋｄ（β）和１６．０ｋｄ（α）的两个不同的亚基以α１β３所组成。ＢＳＬ为糖蛋白,含中性糖３．２％,不含唾液酸。用ＥＬＩＳＡ法测定猪精子中ＢＳＬ的含量及分布,表明７０％嵌入在精子膜中,２５％结合在精子表面,     

利用激光微束穿刺法将外源基因导入小麦的研究

用激光微束穿刺法将携带有新霉素磷酸转移酶（ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ）基因的质粒ｐＪＩＴ１０１导入京花１号小麦幼胚细胞。方法是将小麦幼胚细胞进行高渗缓冲液预处理,用微米级的激光微束处理,然后在卡那霉素培养基上筛选出具抗性的愈伤组织及绿色小植株。第一年,从１５０个小麦幼胚中,在卡那霉素培养基上筛选出４株绿苗,取两株进行ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ酶活性分析,测到了ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ酶的活性。第二年重复实验,从２４５个小麦幼胚中,经筛选获得１株绿苗,进行了叶片ＤＮＡＰＣＲ扩增检测,转化的绿色小苗扩增出所导入的ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ基因编码的片段。结果表明,外源ＮＰＴ－Ⅱ基因已导入了小麦,并实现了整合表达。

Effect of physostigmine on relative acetylcholine output induced by systemic treatment with scopolamine in in vivo microdialysis of rat frontal cortex

By means of an in vivo brain microdialysis, the effect of different concentrations of physostigmine on the acetylcholine level in the dialysate of rat frontal cortex was studied. Perfusion of the various degrees of physostigmine (eserine) concentration (10 nM−10 μM) into the cortex through the dialysis membrane increased the basal acetylcholine level in a dose-dependent manner. In the presence of 10 nM, 0.1 μM and 10 μM physostigmine in the perfusate, systemic treatment with scopolamine (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) increased 200, 270 and 510%, respectively, the relative acetylcholine level in the dialysates in comparison with the corresponding basal levels, while in the absence of physostigmine the treatment increased it only 40%. From these results, it appears that perfusion of physostigmine at a variety of concentrations, changes not only the basal level of acetylcholine induced by the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase but also the relative acetylcholine output induced by systemic treatment with scopolamine.

MethodsforHandy,RapidIsolationofHighQualityRNAbyGuanadiumThioeyauateDuJianYuanYanhuaMaShenglinDongZhiwei(BeijingInstituteforCancerResearchBeijing100034)硫氰胍是一种有效的蛋白变性剂。早在1979年,Chirgwin等就利用氯化铯／硫氰胍超离心技术成功地从RNA酶富集的胰脏组织中提取出未降解的RNA分子[2],从而使它成为抑制RNA酶的首选药物并得到广泛使用,但受到超速离心设备的限制。1983年,Cathala报道了氯化锂／硫氰胍RNA提取法[1]。该方法操作简便,获得的RNA质量很高,但所需时间较长。为了能在短时间内更快…     

Chronic Nicotine Administration Differentially Affects Neurotransmitter Release from Rat Striatal Slices

Abstract: The objective of these experiments was to determine whether the chronic administration of nicotine, at a dose regimen that increases the density of nicotine binding sites, alters the nicotine-induced release of [³H]dopamine ([³H]DA), [³H]norepinephrine ([³H]NE), [³H]serotonin ([³H]5-HT), or [³H]acetylcholine ([³H]ACh) from rat striatal slices. For these experiments, rats received subcutaneous injections of either saline or nicotine bitartrate [1.76 mg (3.6 µmol)/kg, dissolved in saline] twice daily for 10 days, and neurotransmitter release was measured following preloading of the tissues with [³H]DA, [³H]NE, [³H]5-HT, or [³H]choline. Chronic nicotine administration did not affect the accumulation of tritium by striatal slices, the basal release of radioactivity, or the 25 mM KCl-evoked release of neurotransmitter. Superfusion of striatal slices with 1, 10, and 100 µM nicotine increased [³H]DA release in a concentration-dependent manner, and release from slices from nicotine-injected animals was significantly (p < 0.05) greater than release from saline-injected controls; release from the former increased to 132, 191, and 172% of release from the controls following superfusion with 1, 10, and 100 µM nicotine, respectively. Similarly, [³H]5-HT release increased in a concentration-related manner following superfusion with nicotine, and release from slices from nicotine-injected rats was significantly (p < 0.05) greater than that from controls. [³H]5-HT release from slices from nicotine-injected rats evoked by superfusion with 1 and 10 µM nicotine increased to 453 and 217%, respectively, of release from slices from saline-injected animals. The nicotine-induced release of [³H]NE from striatal slices was also concentration dependent but was unaffected by chronic nicotine administration. [³H]ACh release from striatal slices could not be detected when samples were superfused with nicotine but was measurable when tissues were incubated with nicotine. The release of [³H]ACh from slices from nicotine-injected rats was significantly (p < 0.05) less than release from controls and decreased to 36, 83, and 77% of control values following incubation with 1, 10, or 100 µM nicotine, respectively. This decreased [³H]ACh release could not be attributed to methodological differences because slices from nicotine-injected rats incubated with nicotine exhibited an increased [³H]DA release, similar to results from superfusion studies. In addition, it is unlikely that the decreased release of [³H]ACh from striatal slices from nicotine-injected rats was secondary to increased DA release because [³H]ACh release from slices from hippocampus, which is not tonically inhibited by DA, also decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in response to nicotine; hippocampal slices from nicotine-injected rats incubated with 1 and 10 µM nicotine decreased to 42 and 70%, respectively, of release from slices from saline-injected animals. Results indicate that the chronic administration of nicotine increases the ability of nicotine to induce the release of [³H]DA and [³H]5-HT and decreases the ability of nicotine to evoke the release of [³H]ACh but does not alter the nicotine-induced release of [³H]NE from brain slices.     

Expression and secretion of human lipocortin-1 by promoter and signal sequence of STA1 from Saccharomyces diastaticus

Summary For the secretion of human lipocortin-1 (LC-1) in yeast, a expression and secretion vector was constructed by using the promoter and signal sequence of glucoamylase gene (STA1) of Saccharomyces diastaticus. After the cDNA of human LC-1 was ligated with the secretion vector, the resulting hybrid plasmid was transformed into S. diastaticus. When the recombinant S. diastaticus was cultivated in YPD medium, LC-1 was expressed and secreted into the extracellular medium, yielding LC-1 protein at a concentration of 2.5 g/mL.

磁水对蕃茄酯酶同工酶的影响

蕃茄（ＬｙｃｏｐｅｒｓｉｃｏｍｅｓｃｕｌｅｎｔｕｍＭｉｌｌ）在各生长发育期酯酶同工酶谱带无明显变化,但经磁水处理后各生长发育阶段功能叶中酯酶同工酶酶谱及磷素含量与对照组相比存在显著差异,且具有酶谱负极端带数增加,正极端带数减少的趋势。总磷含量测定结果表明处理组均比对照组显著提高。这些变化在磁水处理著前后代中不存在,故认为磁水只是致使非编码顺序局部复制引起ＤＮＡ分子高级结构改变或是通过活化调节基因来调控酯酶同工酶,活化磷代谢,达到促进生长和增产的效果,而并非导致可遗传变异的结果。
