苯甲醛对果蝇视觉联想记忆的阻断

采用飞行模拟系统,以视觉模式为线索、热惩罚为负强化因子,对于在不同发育时期经受苯甲醛处理过的果蝇的视觉飞行定向条件化进行了检验。苯甲醛气味分别作用于果蝇幼虫和成虫阶段,将阻断果蝇成虫建立视觉联想记忆的能力;雌性果蝇在处女期对苯甲醛气味的接触,会阻断其子代建立视觉联想记忆,这种视觉联想记忆的能力可以通过对其子代连续３代的正常饲养而逐渐得到恢复。     

氟烷对慢性缺氧兔心肌β肾上腺素能受体的影响

用放射配基结合法和高效液相色谱电化学法分别测定氟烷对慢性缺氧免心肌β肾上腺素能受体（简称β受体）和血浆儿茶酚胺的影响。结果表明：慢性缺氧后兔心肌β受体密度明显下降,受体亲和力无明显变化,血浆肾上腺素、去甲肾上腺素明显升高。缺氧吸入氟烷后兔心肌β受体密度进一步下降,亲和力增加,血浆肾上腺素、去甲肾上腺素无进一步变化。常氧吸入氟烷后心肌β受体密度无明显变化,亲和力升高,血浆肾上腺素、去甲肾上腺素反而降低。结果提示,氟烷抑制常氧兔交感神经活动而不能抑制缺氧兔交感神经活动,氟烷不改变常氧兔心肌β受体密度,但降低缺氧兔心肌β受体密度。β受体密度降低与缺氧后升高的儿茶酚胺下调β受体数目有关,同时可能与氟烷改变了缺氧心肌细胞膜脂质流动性使受体易向膜内移动有关。

Two Phenol Sulfotransferase Species from One cDNA: Nature of the Differences

A phenol sulfotransferase from rat liver (EC 2.8.2.9), expressed inEscherichia colifrom a single cDNA, was purified as two separable but catalytically active proteins. The proteins appeared to be identical to each other and to the natural liver sulfotransferase by comparison of their amino acid constitution, amino-terminal end group, and interaction with a polyclonal antibody raised against the liver enzyme. Each of the recombinant forms, α and β, catalyzed the sulfuryl group transfer from 4-nitrophenylsulfate to an acceptor phenol, a reaction in which 3′-phospho-adenosine 5′-phosphate (PAP) is a necessary intermediate. Only form β, however, catalyzes the physiological transfer of a sulfuryl group from 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to the free phenol. Evidence is presented that sulfotransferase α, but not β, has 1 mol of PAP tightly bound per enzyme dimer. The ability to utilize PAPS as a sulfate donor could be altered: form α could be treated and purified as form β to acquire the ability to use PAPS, whereas form β was treated by extended incubation with PAP, lost its ability to use PAPS, and was purified as form α.     

Rice cationic peroxidase accumulates in xylem vessels during incompatible interactions with Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae.

A cationic peroxidase, PO-C1 (molecular mass 42 kD, isoelectric point 8.6), which is induced in incompatible interactions between the vascular pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae and rice (Oryza sativa L.), was purified. Amino acid sequences from chemically cleaved fragments of PO-C1 exhibited a high percentage of identity with deduced sequences of peroxidases from rice, barley, and wheat. Polyclonal antibodies were raised to an 11-amino acid oligopeptide (POC1a) that was derived from a domain where the sequence of the cationic peroxidase diverged from other known peroxidases. The anti-POC1a antibodies reacted only with a protein of the same mobility as PO-C1 in extracellular and guttation fluids from plants undergoing incompatible responses collected at 24 h after infection. In the compatible responses, the antibodies did not detect PO-C1 until 48 h after infection. Immunoelectron microscopy was used to demonstrate that PO-C1 accumulated within the apoplast of mesophyll cells and within the cell walls and vessel lumen of xylem elements of plants undergoing incompatible interactions.     

Cytological evidence of biparental inheritance of plastids and mitochondria inPelargonium

Summary Based on the organelle differences between egg and sperm cells inPelargonium hortorum, the zygote, proembryo, and endosperm were examined under the transmission electron microscope. Plastids and mitochondria in the egg cell are significantly different from those of the sperm cell. Egg plastids are starch-containing and less electron dense. They appear circular, elliptical irregular elongate in sections. Sperm cell plastids are relatively electrondense, mostly cup-shaped or dumbbell and devoid of starch granules. Mitochondria of the egg cell are giant and mostly cup-shaped while sperm mitochondria are smaller and usually circular in section. Double fertilization is completed by 24 h after pollination and the pollen tube can be seen in the degenerated synergid. In the zygote, plastids and mitochondria from male and female gametes can be distinguished by their characteristic differences. Moreover, paternal and maternal organelles appear to be distributed at random in the zygote. Aside from the pollen tube and its released starch granules, there is no enucleated cytoplasmic body in the degenerated synergid. Two days after pollination, the zygote undergoes one transverse division to form a 2-celled proembryo which consists of one larger vacuolated basal cell and one smaller densely cytoplasmic apical cell. Paternal and maternal organelles can be detected in both cells of the proembryo and also in the endosperm at this stage. From these results, it can be concluded that plastids and mitochondria from both male and female gametes have been transmitted into the apical cell of the proembryo and most probably to the following generation.Abbreviations TEM transmission electron microscope - DAPI 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole - RFLP restriction fragment length polymorphism
