脊髓灰质炎病毒中Ⅰ9株基因组克隆及其部分结构分析

以脊髓灰质炎病毒RNA为模板,反转录合成了长链ds-cDNA。将合成的脊灰病毒中I9株ds—cDNA片段重组到质粒pAT153上,获得了约占脊灰病毒中I9基因组95％以上的cDNA克隆。对克隆的中I9cDNA部分片段作了限制性内切酶图谱分析和部分核酸的序列分析,发现脊灰病毒中I9部分核酸顺序有所改变。

基因型和胚龄对小麦未成熟胚离体培养反应的影响

本文对34种基因型的小麦未成熟胚在离体培养中的反应进行了比较。结果表明,94％的供试基因型愈伤组织诱导率都可达到80％以上,若排除供体植株环境条件的不同和接种过程中的人为因素可能造成的影响,不同基因型的愈伤组织诱导率看来没有根本的差异。愈伤组织分化率因基因型的不同变动在0—60％之间,平均为32.7％。虽然同一基因型的盾片愈伤组织分化率在不同年份中有所不同,但是愈伤组织是否具有再生能力?看来是个稳定的遗传性状。因此小麦未成熟胚对愈伤组织诱导的反应和愈伤组织的再生能力可能具有不同的遗传基础。本文的结果还表明,虽然最适于培养的未成熟胚的大小为1毫米左右,伹小至0.3毫米的未成熱胚仍能以几乎100％的频率形成愈伤组织,60％左右的愈伤组织能分化出再生檀株,只是所需的时间比1毫米左右的胚较长。

recA基因通过同源重组途径参与由整合质粒发动的大肠杆菌染色体复制

我们在前文中报道由整合的F'质粒所发动的大肠杆菌染色体的复制依赖于recA基因。本文报道有关recA、recB、recC以及lexA等在染色体复制中的作用,实验结果说明,recA基因通过同源重组途径而不是通过SOS途径参与复制,而且recA基因和Chi热点无关。实验结果还说明,RecBC酶的依赖于ATP的双链DNA外切核酸酶活性和recA基因的作用无关。     

玉米花粉单倍体植株染色体上异染色质的变异

我们用Giemsa BSG C-带技术检查了玉米花药培养获得的花粉单倍体植株根尖细胞染色体上异染色质的变异,观察结果表明,有的植株所显示的C-带数目是与供体植株的相一致,有的植株所显示的C-带数目则发生了显著变化,其中有的增加,有的减少。并讨论了异染色质发生变异的可能原因。还相应地观察到间期核中染色中心的变化是与中期染色体上C-带数目的变化相一致。     

寡齿新银鱼同工酶及其与幼态持续的关系

采用聚丙烯酰胺垂直板状连续电泳方法,对幼态持续(neoteny)的寡齿新银鱼(Neosalanx oligodontis Chen)13种同工酶的18个位点进行研究,并进行乳酸脱氢酶热变性实验。结果表明ADH、GOT、α-GPDH、LDH、MDH、ME、POX和SOD表现出一定的幼态持续的特征,其中LDH由A、B两个位点编码,C位点不表达,是因为个体发育早期C基因尚未表达时发生幼态持续的结果。ES和IDH无幼态持续特征。α-AMY、FUM和CAT因数据不足,未进行分析。寡齿新银鱼同工酶基因表达中幼态特征的表现为研究鱼类幼态持续的产生机制和遗传基础提供线索。     

Cloning and characterization of a tandemly repeated DNA sequence in the crane family (Gruidae)

A tandemly repeated DNA sequence possessing a unique PstI site has been characterized in several species of the crane family. The "Pst family" comprises at least 8800 monomer units 187 base pairs (bp) in length and constitutes 0.14% of the genome of the sarus crane (Grus antigone). The array is located in the centromeric heterochromatin of chromosome 2 in the two species where in situ hybridizations of a cloned monomer to metaphase chromosome spreads were carried out. DNA sequence comparisons between five monomer units from G. antigone revealed a high degree of homology between four of the individual repeats, while the fifth was somewhat divergent. The G + C content deduced from the DNA sequence makes it likely that the Pst family constitutes part of a density satellite seen in profiles of crane DNA centrifuged to equilibrium in CsCl. The common occurrence of tandem arrays such as the Pst family, with repeat lengths close to 200 bp, leads us to an hypothesis implicating nucleosomes in the evolution of such families.     

The pig as an intermediate host for Taiwan Taenia infection

Eggs (1000-100,000/animal) of Taiwan Taenia were inoculated per os into 14 Small-Ear-Miniature (SEM), 19 Landrace-Small-Ear-Miniature (L-SEM), and 5 Duroc-Yorkshire-Landrace (DYL) pigs. These animals were sacrificed 7-107 days after infection. Thirty-four pigs were found to be infected with Taiwan Taenia cysticerci and the infection rates of SEM, L-SEM, and DYL were 86%, 89% and 100% respectively. The cysticerci recovery rates of SEM, L-SEM and DYL pigs were 27.2%, 1.7% and 0.27% respectively. Cysticerci were recovered only from the livers and none were found in muscles, viscera or other parts of the carcasses. More cysticerci were located in the liver parenchyma (71%) than on the liver surface (29%). Taiwan Taenia cysticerci were smaller than those of classical T. saginata or T. solium. Moreover, Taiwan Taenia cysticerci had 2 rows of rudimentary hooklets on the scolex. The results of this study indicate that young pigs are good intermediate hosts for Taiwan Taenia and that the SEM pig is a satisfactory host for experimental studies with this tapeworm. These results were similar to other studies with different geographic strains of the T. saginata-like tapeworm in the Far East. These strains appear to be the same and possibly a new species.     

Glutathione Turnover in Cultured Astrocytes: Studies with [15N]Glutamate

The incorporation of [15N]glutamic acid into glutathione was studied in primary cultures of astrocytes. Turnover of the intracellular glutathione pool was rapid, attaining a steady state value of 30.0 atom% excess in 180 min. The intracellular glutathione concentration was high (20-40 nmol/mg protein) and the tripeptide was released rapidly into the incubation medium. Although labeling of glutathione (atom% excess) with [15N]glutamate occurred rapidly, little accumulation of 15N in glutathione was noted during the incubation compared with 15N in aspartate, glutamine, and alanine. Glutathione turnover was stimulated by incubating the astrocytes with diethylmaleate, an electrophile that caused a partial depletion of the glutathione pool(s). Diethylmaleate treatment also was associated with significant reductions of intraastrocytic glutamate, glycine, and cysteine, i.e., the constituents of glutathione. Glutathione synthesis could be stimulated by supplementing the steady-state incubation medium with 0.05 mM L-cysteine, such treatment again partially depleting intraastrocytic glutamate and causing significant reductions of 15N labeling of both alanine and glutamine, suggesting that glutamate had been diverted from the synthesis of these amino acids and toward the formation of glutathione. The current study underscores both the intensity of glutathione turnover in astrocytes and the relationship of this turnover to the metabolism of glutamate and other amino acids.
