猪肠毒素源性大肠杆菌K88ac粘附抗原的核苷酸序列分析

 本文对国内流行的猪肠毒素源性大肠杆菌K88ac抗原的结构基因的核苷酸序列进行了测定。该基因由849对核苷酸组成,编码了283个氨基酸的蛋白亚单位及21个氨基酸的信号肽。与国外报道的K88ac序列的不同是我们发现一个碱基的点突变,导致在抗原决定簇内一个氨基酸的改变。从核苷酸序列推导出的氨基酸序列与另两种亚型进行了比较。     

Helper virus-free transfer of herpes simplex virus type 1 plasmid vectors into neural cells.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) plasmid vectors have promise for genetic intervention in the brain, but several problems caused by the helper virus have compromised their utility. To develop a helper virus-free packaging system for these vectors, the DNA cleavage/packaging signals were deleted from a set of cosmids that represents the HSV-1 genome. Following cotransfection into cells, this modified cosmid set supported replication and packaging of vector DNA. However, in the absence of the DNA cleavage/packaging signals, the HSV-1 genome was not packaged, and consequently vector stocks were free of detectable helper virus. In the absence of helper virus, the vectors efficiently infected rat neural cells in culture or in the brain with minimal cytopathic effects. beta-galactosidase-positive cells were observed for at least 1 month in vivo, and vector DNA persisted for this period. This system may facilitate studies on neuronal physiology and potential therapeutic applications.     

Acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency: Identification and expression of a missense mutation (S529V) in a Japanese adult phenotype

We report a missense mutation in an adult Japanese patient with acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency. A TC to GT transition at nucleotides 1585–1586, was identified. This transition resulted in an amino acid substitution of Ser-529 to Val (S529V) in exon 11. We also have demonstrated that the S529V mutation abolishes the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Our data suggest that this mutation is the cause of the clinical manifestation known as adult-onset GAA deficiency. The missense mutation described here is a new mutation, and the first identified in Japanese patients with GAA deficiency. Received: 23 May 1995     

可育的抗除草剂溴苯腈转基因小麦

报道了采用微粒轰击（Ｍｉｃｒｏｐｒｏｊｅｃｔｉｌｅ ｂｏｍ ｂａｒｄｍ ｅｎｔ） 幼胚将除草剂抗性基因导入小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍ Ｌ．）的转化研究。实验共使用了１３ 个小麦品种, 从开花后１４～１８ ｄ 的籽粒中剥取幼胚, 植物表达质粒含有ＣａＭＶ ３５Ｓ启动子控制的除草剂溴苯腈抗性基因ｂｘｎ 以及筛选标记基因ＮＴＰⅡ。采用高压放电基因枪,用质粒ＤＮＡ 包被的钨粒轰击预培养３ ｄ 的幼胚。在含有卡那霉素类似物ｇｅｎｅｔｉｃｉｎ Ｇ４１８ｓｕｌｐｈａｔｅ 的ＭＳ培养基上, 经过多步骤筛选和分化, 从８００ 多个幼胚中获得了１６ 株转化苗。除草剂抗性鉴定和Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ 杂交分析证明, 其中４ 株为转基因植物,具有溴苯腈抗性, 并且自交可育。转化工作从分离幼胚到转化苗鉴定完毕, 最短时间为６ 个月, 因此, 该方法是一项快速有效的基因导入技术     

水稻幼芽细胞生物膜上的赤霉素结合蛋白的结合特性

在水稻 (Oryza sativa)幼芽中存在膜结合的赤霉素结合蛋白 ,其与 GA3 结合的平衡解离常数(Kd)为 6.5× 1 0 -8mol/ L,总浓度为 0 .3 pmol· mg-1 蛋白质。结合蛋白与 GA3 结合活力在 0℃时比 2 5℃时高 1 4 0 %。它与 GA3 结合的最适 p H为 5。 GA3 与此结合蛋白的结合量随反应时间延长而增加 ,1 h达最大值 ,以后又逐渐下降。 IAA、ABA可与 GA3 竞争赤霉素结合蛋白。     

大豆结瘤突变体成分的初步分析及其对硝酸还原酶活性和结瘤的影响

超结瘤大豆（Ｇｌｙｃｉｎｅ ｍ ａｘ （Ｌ．） Ｍｅｒｒ．） ｎｔｓ ３８２ 和不结瘤大豆Ｎｏｄ ４９ 的叶和根组织水提取物经Ｓｅｐｈａｄｅｘ Ｇ２５ 过滤、洗脱,再根据洗脱物对硝酸还原酶（ＮＲ）活性的影响可划分为４ 个组分（ｆｒａｃｔｉｏｎ）样品,即ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ１、ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ２、ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ３ 和ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ４。其中, ｎｔｓ３８２ Ｆ２ 和Ｆ４ 抑制ＮＲ 活性作用在接种ＵＳＤＡ１１０ 后明显下降, 但接种的ｎｔｓ ３８２ Ｆ２ 却能提高大豆Ｂｒａｇｇ 的结瘤数达一倍, 而接种的ｎｔｓ ３８２ Ｆ３ 和Ｆ４ 的作用不明显。ＮＲ 活性抑制因子不是刺激结瘤的因子, 刺激结瘤的因子主要分布在接种的ｎｔｓ３８２ Ｆ２ 部分中。与这一现象相反, Ｎｏｄ ４９ Ｆ２ 和Ｆ４ 抑制ＮＲ活性的作用在接种后更强, 且也抑制大豆ｎｔｓ ３８２ 的结瘤, 其中Ｎｏｄ ４９ Ｆ４ 抑制结瘤的作用基本不能逆转。抑制结瘤因子主要分布在接过种的Ｎｏｄ ４９ Ｆ４ 部分中     

细胞分裂素生物合成基因在调节一组烟草病理相关蛋白基因表达中的作用

对一组病理相关蛋白基因在烟草 ( N icotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsin 38)中的表达情况进行了研究 ,包括 :碱性几丁质酶、β- 1 ,3-葡萄糖苷酶、渗透蛋白及伸展蛋白。RNA杂交实验表明在正常烟草植株中上述 4个基因具有发育和器官专一性的表达。在含有细胞分裂素生物合成基因的转基因烟草丛生芽中 ,这 4个基因的表达受过量合成的内源细胞分裂素和载体效应的共同调节 ,细胞分裂素降低这些基因的表达 ,而载体效应则促进它们的表达。热激处理也明显降低这 4种基因的表达水平。上述结果表明这些病理相关蛋白基因具有复杂的调控系统     

Optimal conditions for levan formation by an overexpressed recombinant levansucrase

Summary A genetically modified levansucrase, which contained His-affinity tag in its C-terminal, was constructed by PCR reaction using two synthetic primers. This modified protein was produced up to 30 % in total cell protein of E. coli, and was purified by a one-step affinity chromatography. The optimum pH for levan production was pH 5 and the optimum temperature was 0 °C. The higher velocity of levan formation within shorter enzyme reaction times was achieved by increasing the levels of enzyme concentration. The optimal sucrose concentration for levan production was around 20 %. Under these conditions, more than 50 g levan/l was produced.
