耐高温α-淀粉酶基因在马铃薯中的表达

我们将从地衣芽孢杆菌(Bacilluslicheniformis)克隆的约1．68kb的耐高温α-淀粉酶基因构建成表达载体,并转入根癌农杆菌。以马铃薯栽培品种“杂交荷兰7号”块茎圆盘为外植体,按本实验室建立起的再生实验系统[9]及杨美珠等的方法[8]进行转化。采取共培养、芽的诱导、芽的选择再生三步方法获得抗性芽。将抗性芽通过先诱导生根壮苗,再进行卡那霉素筛选,最后再诱导生根的方法得到可能的转基因植株。 对部分可能的转基因植株按改进的王广立等的PCR简单快速鉴定转基因植物的方法[12]进行检测,株号102001、102607、110402均可见到特异性片段的存在。参照张振清[13]及王福荣等[14]的方法对这些植株进行耐高温α—淀粉酶活力测定,这些植株具有相对较强的耐高温α—淀粉酶活性。实验结果表明,耐高温α—淀粉酶基因可能已转入上述植物基因组中,并获表达。     

Electron Microscopic Studies on the Silver-stained Nucleolar Cycle of Physarum polycephalum

The dynamic changes of nucleolar ultrastructure in the cell cycle of Physarum polycephalum Schw. were studied by an en bloc silver-staining method. The results showed that the nucleolus was large in size and situated in the center of the nucleus in late G2-phase, and the fibrillar centers, dense fibrillar components and granular components could be observed in the nucleolus. During prophase, the nucleolus moved towards the periphery of the nucleus and in late prophase disintegrated near the nuclear envelope. In metaphase, the disintegrated nucleolar components were dispersed in masses and located at the periphery of the chromosomal region of the nucleus. No specifically silver-stained area and argentophilic protein sheath were observed on the chromosomes, but there were some big dispersed silver particles within the chromosomes. During telophase the nucleolar components moved towards the two poles along with the chromosomes and co-existed with the decondensing chromatin in daughter nuclei. The nucleolar components then gradually converged with one another and separated from the chromatin. A big nucleolus was formed in the nucleus about 120 min after the completion of mitosis.     

细叶黄芪叶肉原生质体发育早期细胞壁再生的研究

采用透射电镜术、电镜多糖细胞化学染色、细胞壁荧光染色以及香豆素抑制细胞壁再生等方法,对细叶黄芪（Ａｓｔｒａｇａｌｕｓｍ ｅｌｉｌｏｔｏｉｄｅｓ ｖａｒ．ｔｅｎｕｉｓ）叶肉原生质体细胞壁的再生及其化学特点进行了研究。结果表明,离体培养２４ 小时的原生质体表面产生一些突起小泡,有时可见少量纤维组分的形成。培养３ 天时这种纤维组分明显增多。至５ 天时可清楚看到再生壁是由纤维和颗粒构成。六亚甲四胺银染色证明它们都是由多糖组分组成的。另外,培养３６ 小时的原生质体有相互粘连的现象。电镜观察、荧光染色及香豆素处理的研究表明粘连与再生壁的形成有关。根据上述观察结果,对原生质体再生壁的结构及其化学性质等问题进行了讨论     

豌豆细胞核仁中U3 snoRNA的分布和转运

rRNA前体剪切是发生在核仁中重要生物学事件。U3 snoRNA作为rRNA的一个剪切因子被认为是rRNA前体剪切第一步,即5′ETS剪切所必需的,鉴定U3能够为确定rRNA前体剪切位点和剪切产物转运提供间接证据。,本文利用原位杂交技术研究了豌豆（Pisum sativum L.)核仁中U3 snoRNA的分布和转运。结果表明,U3 snoRNA分布在致密纤维组分（dense fibrillar component,DFC)和颗粒组分（granular component,GC)中,在纤维中心（fibrillar center,FC)没有分布 ,当用放线菌素D（actinomycin,D,AMD)处理豌豆根端分生细胞时,rDNA转录受到抑制,标记信号减弱,随着AMD处理时间的延长,标记信号逐渐变弱并出现在DFC远轴区域和GC区域。本文结果提示,rRNA前体剪切发生在DFC和GC区域,剪切产物从围绕FC的区域向周边转运。

Modified heparin inhibits P-selectin-mediated cell adhesion of human colon carcinoma cells to immobilized platelets under dynamic flow conditions

Accumulating evidence indicates that the formation of tumor cell platelet emboli complexes in the blood stream is a very important step during metastases and that the anti-metastasis effects of heparin are partially due to a blockade of P-selectin on platelets. In this study, heparin and chemically modified heparins were tested as inhibitors of three human colon carcinoma cell lines (COLO320, LS174T, and CW-2) binding to P-selectin, adhering to CHO cells expressing a transfected human P-selectin cDNA, and adhering to surface-anchored platelets expressing P-selectin under static and flow conditions. The aim was to screen for heparin derivatives with high anti-adhesion activity but negligible anticoagulant activity. In this study, four modified heparins with high anti-adhesion activity were identified including RO-heparin, CR-heparin, 2/3ODS-heparin, and N/2/3DS-heparin. NMR analysis proved the reliability of structure of the four modified heparins. Our findings suggested that the 6-O-sulfate group of glucosamine units in heparin is critical for the inhibition of P-selectin-mediated tumor cell adhesion. Heparan sulfate-like proteoglycans on these tumor cell surfaces are implicated in adhesion of the tumor cells to P-selectin. Some chemically modified heparins with low anticoagulant activities, such as 2/3ODS-heparin, may have potential value as therapeutic agents that block P-selectin-mediated cell adhesion and prevent tumor metastasis.
