天然抗氧化剂丹参酮Ⅱ—A对肝细胞脂质过氧化产物与DNA相互作用的影响

［３Ｈ］花生四烯酸标记的肝细胞,经ＦｅＣｌ２－ＤＴＰＡ启动脂质过氧化后,细胞ＤＮＡ出现放射性,并随保温时间增加而逐渐增高,表明在细胞内脂质过氧化产物与ＤＮＡ发生相互作用,生成了一种ＤＮＡ加成物,经测定它具有特征荧光光谱,显示较低的增色效应和Ｔｍ值。用高度敏度荧光图象显微镜直接观察发现丹参酮Ⅱ－Ａ经细胞摄取后主要滞留在细胞膜与胞浆中。它能有效地抑制细胞脂质过氧化,减少脂质－ＤＮＡ加成物的产生,并阻止了细胞存活率和Ｏ６甲基鸟嘌呤转移酶活性的降低,其抑制率与ＶｉｔＥ,ＢＨＴ相近,但显著高于ＮａＮ３,甘露醇和ＳＯＤ。上述结果提示丹参酮Ⅱ－Ａ是一种新的有效的细胞内脂质过氧化产物与ＤＮＡ相互作用的抑制剂。它对ＤＮＡ的保护作用可能是通过清除脂类自由基而阻断脂质过氧化的链式反应,抑制ＤＮＡ加成物的生成,从而减少了细胞毒性。

鹅掌楸雌配子体败育对生殖的影响

胚珠和雌配子体败育是限制鹅掌楸生殖成功的一个重要因素。中国东部和西部鹅掌楸种群在雌配子体发育的各阶段上的败育程度有差异,以西部种群的发育较好。西部分布区较合适的生境促进了胚囊的发育,一定温度和湿度的环境可以活化珠心细胞输送营养物质供给雌配子体发育,提高受精和结籽的能力     

Egg presence, egg loss, and female mate preferences in the sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus)

We studied the effect of egg presence on female mate choicein a fish with paternal care. Females who were allowed a freechoice between two males mated within a shorter time than femaleswho were randomly assigned to a particular male. When a secondfemale was allowed to choose among the males, she preferredthe same male as the previous female. This result shows thatfemales are concordant in their mate choice. When the initialfemale was randomly assigned to mate with one of two males (forcedchoice), the second female mated randomly with respect to thefirst one. Thus females do not prefer males with eggs. If theinitial female was given a free choice, but the eggs were removedfrom the chosen male, the test female mated randomly. When boththe males initially had mated but one randomly determined male'seggs were removed, the test female preferred the male who wasstill guarding eggs. These experiments show that females avoidspawning in unsuccessful nests. When the females in the freechoice/egg removal experiment mated with the unsuccessful malethere was a considerably bigger size difference in favor ofthis male than when the females mated with the other male. Weconclude that female sand gobies show clear mate preferences,but that they do not prefer males with eggs over males withouteggs. They do, however, avoid mating with males guarding unsuccessfulnests. We therefore suggest that egg loss could be an importantfactor selecting for egg preference.

Two-dimensional crystallization of avidin on biotinylated lipid monolayers.

Two-dimensional crystals of avidin were obtained on mixed lipid monolayers containing biotinylated lipids (N-biotinyl-dipalmitoyl-L-alpha-phosphatidyl ethanolamine and dioleoyl phosphatidyl choline) by specific interaction. Image analysis of electron micrographs of these crystals revealed p2 symmetry with the unit cell parameters a = 66 +/- 2 A, b = 68 +/- 1 A, and gamma = 121 +/- 4 degrees. The projection map showed, at a resolution of about 27 A, that the four subunits within one avidin molecule are separated into two parts. Comparison between avidin and streptavidin reveals that avidin molecule binds to the lipid monolayer in an orientation similar to that of streptavidin.     

Analysis of serine/threonine-linked oligosaccharides derived by alkaline-borohydride treatment of mucin glycoproteins electroblotted onto membranes: comparison of the saccharide profiles of the 390 kDa and 350 kDa forms of epitectin

Alkaline borohydride treatment is widely used for the release of carbohydrate moieties from O-glycosylated glycoproteins and mucins. We have adapted this procedure to micro quantities of glycoproteins blotted on membranes. After electrophoresis and transfer to nitrocellulose, nylon or polyvinylidene difluoride membrane, alkaline borohydride treatment was done directly on glycoprotein containing areas of membrane which were cut out with the aid of guide strips stained with Coomassie Blue or lectin-digoxigenin. In combination with standard saccharide fractionation techniques, this procedure can be used to characterize the oligosaccharides of mucins or mucin-type glycoproteins that are separated by gel electrophoresis from crude sources. Using this approach we have characterized the saccharides derived from the two species of epitectin, a malignancy-associated mucin type glycoprotein, isolated from metabolically labelled H.Ep2 cells.     

Isolation and partial characterization of basic proteinases from stem bromelain

Crude bromelain extracts from pineapple stems (Ananas comosus) were fractionated by two-step FPLC-cation-exchange chromatography. At least eight basic proteolytically active components were detected. The two main components F4 and F5 together with the most active proteinase fraction F9 were characterized by SDS-PAGE, mass spectroscopy, multizonal cathodal electrophoresis, partial amino acid sequence, and monosaccharide composition analysis. F9 amounts to about 2% of the total protein and has a 15 times higher specific activity against the substratel-pyroglutamyl-l-phenylanalyl-l-leucine-p-nitroanilide (PFLNA) than the main component F4. The molecular masses of F4, F5, and F9 were determined to 24,397, 24,472, and 23,427, respectively, by mass spectroscopy. Partial N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis (20 amino acids) revealed that F9 differs from the determined sequence of F4 and F5 by an exchange at position 10 (tyrosineserine) and position 20 (asparagine glycine). F4 and F5 contained fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, xylose, and mannose in ratio of 1.02.01.02.0, but only 50% of the proteins seem to be glycosylated, whereas F9 was found to be unglycosylated. Polyclonal antibodies (IgG) against F9 detected F4 and F5 with tenfold reduced reactivity. ThepH optimum of F4 and F5 was betweenpH4.0 and 4.5 and for F9 close to neutralpH. The kinetic parameters for PFLNA hydrolysis were similar for F4 (K _m 2.30 mM,k _cat 0.87 sec^–1 and F5 (K _m 2.42 mM,k _cat 0.68 sec^–1), and differed greatly from F9 (K _m 0.40 mM,k _cat 3.94 sec^–1).Dedicated to H. Tschesche, Bielefeld, Germany, on behalf of his 60th anniversary.     

甘蔗和烟草幼叶原生质体的核酸含量与核酸酶活性及其影响因素

与幼叶组织相比,酶法新鲜分离的甘蔗和烟草幼叶原生质体内的ＲＮＡ、ＤＮＡ及总核酸含量均降低。其原因可能是刚游离的原生质体内酸性和碱性ＲＮＡ酶与ＤＮＡ酶等活性提高所致。甘蔗叶原生质体内的核酸降低量和ＲＮＡ酶与ＤＮＡ酶活性的增加程度均高于烟草。随用作渗透压稳定剂的甘露醇浓度增加,甘蔗和烟草叶原生质体的ＲＮＡ酶和ＤＮＡ酶活性均相应提高。其中以甘蔗叶原生质体的核酸酶活性增加水平较明显。在细胞壁降解产物的作用下,除了甘蔗原生质体内的ＲＮＡ酶活性略被促进外,其ＤＮＡ酶和烟草叶原生质体内的核酸酶均不受影响
