Co-expression of P450 BM3 and glucose dehydrogenase by recombinant <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis> and its application in an NADPH-dependent indigo production system

P450 BM3 mutant can catalyze indole to indoxyl, and indoxyl can dimerize to form indigo. But the reaction catalyzed by P450 BM3 requires NADPH, as coenzyme regeneration is very important in this system. As we know, when glucose dehydrogenase oxidizes glucose to glucolactone, NADH or NADPH can be formed, which can contribute to NADPH regeneration in the reaction catalyzed by P450 BM3. In this paper, a recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 (pET28a (+)-P450 BM3-gdh0310) was constructed to co-express both P450 BM3 gene and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) gene. To improve the expression level of P450 BM3 and GDH in E. coli and to avoid the complex and low-efficiency refolding operation in the purification procedure, the expression conditions were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the maximum P450 BM3 and GDH activities amounted to 8173.13 and 0.045 U/mg protein, respectively. Then bioconversion of indole to indigo was carried out by adding indole and glucose to the culture after improved expression level was obtained under optimized conditions, and 2.9 mM (760.6 mg/L) indigo was formed with an initial indole concentration of 5 mM.     

乏情和发情初产母猪下丘脑–垂体–卵巢轴中lincRNAs表达谱比较分析

初产母猪断奶后能否正常发情对养猪生产影响重大,也是初产母猪被淘汰的主要原因。本研究以乏情和发情初产母猪为研究对象,首次利用RNA-seq技术对其下丘脑-垂体-卵巢轴中的基因间长链非编码RNAs(long intergenic noncoding RNAs,lincRNAs)进行筛选比较,得到lincRNAs的表达图谱,并对其特征和功能进行了初步分析。结果显示,在乏情和发情初产母猪下丘脑–垂体–卵巢轴中鉴定得到3519个lincRNAs,以发情组为对照共有17个lincRNAs存在差异表达,其中12个表达上调,5个表达下调(FC≥2,P<0.05)。选择4个差异表达的lincRNAs经qRT-PCR验证,其表达水平与测序结果基本一致。对这17个差异表达的lincRNAs进行GO分析、KEGG通路分析及lincRNA-mRNA共表达网络分析,发现这些lincRNAs主要与猪卵母细胞减数分裂成熟、卵巢细胞分化及颗粒细胞凋亡等生殖活动相关。本研究结果丰富了猪lincRNAs数据资源,为进一步深入研究初产母猪的生殖机能提供了理论依据。

Auxin-related gene families in abiotic stress response in Sorghum bicolor

Sorghum, a C4 model plant, has been studied to develop an understanding of the molecular mechanism of resistance to stress. The auxin-response genes, auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA), auxin-response factor (ARF), Gretchen Hagen3 (GH3), small auxin-up RNAs, and lateral organ boundaries (LBD), are involved in growth/development and stress/defense responses in Arabidopsis and rice, but they have not been studied in sorghum. In the present paper, the chromosome distribution, gene duplication, promoters, intron/exon, and phylogenic relationships of Aux/IAA, ARF, GH3, and LBD genes in sorghum are presented. Furthermore, real-time PCR analysis demonstrated these genes are differently expressed in leaf/root of sorghum and indicated the expression profile of these gene families under IAA, brassinosteroid (BR), salt, and drought treatments. The SbGH3 and SbLBD genes, expressed in low level under natural condition, were highly induced by salt and drought stress consistent with their products being involved in both abiotic stresses. Three genes, SbIAA1, SbGH3-13, and SbLBD32, were highly induced under all the four treatments, IAA, BR, salt, and drought. The analysis provided new evidence for role of auxin in stress response, implied there are cross talk between auxin, BR and abiotic stress signaling pathways.     

小鼠原核期受精卵体外培养系统的筛选

为了筛选出最佳的小鼠原核期受精卵的体外发育培养系统,分别进行了四个试验。试验I:在体外分别用自配的M16、mM16、KSOM、mKSOM、CZB进行体外发育培养,进而筛选出一种最佳的体外培养系统;试验Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ分别:探讨了血清、PVA、rhLIF对小鼠胚胎发育的影响。结果,试验I中胚胎发育到2-细胞的比率差异不明显,但是在mM16和mKSOM中,发育到4-细胞的比率94.7%,90.7%(91/96;78/86)和发育到桑椹胚/囊胚的比率分别为78.1%,67.4%(75/96;58/86)均明显高于其他三种培养液;试验II用10?S代替M16中BSA时,胚胎的发育率均下降,即使在mM16中桑椹胚/囊胚率仅为4.8%(12/35)与对照组M16(40.5%)差异显著(p<0.05);试验Ⅲ用PVA取代mM16和mKSOM中的BSA其体外发育率显著下降,胚胎均无一例发育到桑椹胚/囊胚;试验Ⅳ:rhLIF能提高胚胎在体外的发育率可使mM16培养的胚胎囊胚率、囊胚脱出率分别达到84%(47/56)、39.2%(22/56)。结论:在不添减其他成分前提下,只在M16中添加0.1mMolEDTA、0.5mMol牛磺酸、1000IU/mlrhLIF便可获得84%的囊胚率,同时证明在M16或mM16添加血清都会降低其体外发育率;PVA还不能有效的取代mM16、mKSOM中的血清。     

Decoy engineering of the receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase StPBS1 to defend against virus infection in potato

Potato virus Y (PVY) is an important pathogen of potato (Solanum tuberosum). Although the PBS1–RPS5 immune system is well documented in Arabidopsis thaliana, it has not been reported in potato. In Arabidopsis, the bacterial effector AvrPphB cleaves AtPBS1 to trigger an immune response. Here, we show that the AvrPphB-triggered immune response is mediated by StPBS1, a close homologue of AtPBS1 in potato. However, downstream signalling of StPBS1 was mediated by unknown resistance (R) proteins other than potato orthologues of AtRPS5 and HvPBR1, which is important for HvPBS1 signalling in barley. Immune signalling of StPBS1 is mediated by the AvrPphB C-terminal cleavage domain and an STKPQ motif, in contrast to AtPBS1-mediated immunity in which both AvrPphB cleavage fragments and an SEMPH motif are essential. The cleavage sequence of AvrPphB in StPBS1 was replaced with that of the PVY NIa-Pro protease to obtain StPBS1^NIa. StPBS1^NIa overexpression potato displayed stronger immunity to PVY infection than did the StPBS1 transgenic lines. StPBS1^NIa was cleaved at the expected target site by NIa-Pro protease from PVY. Thus, we characterized the function of StPBS1 in potato immunity and provide a biotechnology control method for PVY via transformation of decoy-engineered StPBS1^NIa.     

hhlim基因转录调控区域鉴定及表达调控的初步研究

为了研究hhlim基因表达调控机制,对该基因5′上游－2 537 bp序列从5′端依次进行缺失后,利用荧光素酶报告基因检测各种不同长度片段在C2C12细胞中驱动荧光素酶表达的活性.结果表明,在hhlim基因5′上游－2 537～－1 537 bp之间存在负调控元件,在－253～－157 bp之间含有增强子样序列.用含有增强子样序列的DNA片段做探针,对未分化型和分化型C2C12细胞的核蛋白进行电泳迁移率改变分析(electrophoretic mopility shift assay, EMSA).分析的结果显示,两种表型细胞中的核蛋白与探针结合所形成滞后带的谱型明显不同.结果还发现内皮素-1(ET-1)和碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(bFGF)既能显著诱导C2C12细胞对hhlim的表达,也能刺激含增强子样序列的调控区域所驱动的报告基因表达.提示hhlim基因转录起始点至－2 537 bp的区域内含有负调控元件及增强子样序列,该基因的表达受ET-1和bFGF的调节.
