c-ABL tyrosine kinase activity is regulated by association with a novel SH3-domain-binding protein.

The c-ABL tyrosine kinase is activated following either the loss or mutation of its Src homology domain 3 (SH3), resulting in both increased autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of cellular substrates and cellular transformation. This suggests that the SH3 domain negatively regulates c-ABL kinase activity. For several reasons this regulation is thought to involve a cellular protein that binds to the SH3 domain. Hyperexpression of c-ABL results in an activation of its kinase, the kinase activity of purified c-ABL protein in the absence of cellular proteins is independent of either the presence or absence of a SH3 domain, and point mutations and deletions within the SH3 domain are sufficient to activate c-ABL transforming ability. To identify proteins that interact with the c-ABL SH3 domain, we screened a cDNA library by the yeast two-hybrid system, using the c-ABL SH3SH2 domains as bait. We identified a novel protein, AAP1 (ABL-associated protein 1), that associates with these c-ABL domains and fails to bind to the SH3 domain in the activated oncoprotein BCRABL. Kinase experiments demonstrated that in the presence of AAP1, the ability of c-ABL to phosphorylate either glutathione S-transferase-CRK or enolase was inhibited. In contrast, AAP1 had little effect on the phosphorylation of glutathione S-transferase-CRK by the activated ABL oncoproteins v-ABL and BCRABL. We conclude that AAP1 inhibits c-ABL tyrosine kinase activity but has little effect on the tyrosine kinase activities of oncogenic BCRABL or v-ABL protein and propose that AAP1 functions as a trans regulator of c-ABL kinase. Our data also indicate that loss of susceptibility to AAP1 regulation correlates with oncogenicity of the activated forms of c-ABL.     

微菌落观察法快速检测和鉴别结核杆菌培养物的研究

Medium design based on stoichiometric analysis of microbial transglutaminase production by Streptoverticillium mobaraense

A stoichiometric model was developed for the application of medium design in microbial transglutaminase production by Streptoverticillium mobaraense. The model avoids dealing with all the metabolic reactions involved by simply lumping them into a single reaction. With the help of measurement results, an analysis of the nutrients' roles, and biochemical knowledge of the microorganism, all stoichiometric coefficients in the model were calculated. These coefficients were used for medium design. With this designed medium, microbial transglutaminase activity was increased fourfold, compared to that in the basal medium.

稻瘟病菌重复顺序PoR6和稻瘟病菌的分型

POR6是一具有高度多态性的稻瘟病菌(Pyricularia oryzae)重复顺序。利用脉冲电泳技术和Southern分析,表明它是非均匀地散布于基因组中的。经测定POR6的拷贝数约为30—40,序列测定未发现在内部有更小的重复单位。用POR6作探针对44株稻瘟病菌进行DNA指纹分析,分析的中国北方地区的22个菌株可根据相似率归并成8个谱系。对一些转管培养中致病型发生变化的菌株用POR6进行指纹分析,发现这些菌株在转管过程中基因组DNA是有变化的。

表达HSV－2 gD基因的重组痘苗病毒保护小鼠对抗致死量HSV病霉攻击

利用ＰＣＲ方法对单纯疱疹病毒Ⅱ型糖蛋白Ｄ（ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ）基因进行了修饰,在其５＇端删去约５００ｂｐ的非编码区,仅保留ＡＴＧ上游７个ｂｐ。将修饰后的ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ基因插入到带有痘苗病毒天坛株ＴＫ基因区段的痘苗表达质粒ｐＪＳＡ１１７５,置于痘苗病毒Ｐ７．５ｋ早／晚期启动子控制下。将此重组质粒用脂质体Ｌｉｐｏｆｅｃｔｉｎ方法转染已受野型ＴＫ￣＋痘苗病毒天坛株感染的ＴＫ￣－１４３细胞,通过同源重组机制和标志基因ＬａｃＺ产物的蓝斑显色作用,以及ＢｕｄＲ试剂对ＴＫ表型的选择压力,筛选出整合有ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ基因的重组痘苗病毒。Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｍ杂交表明,ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ基因已正确地插入痘苗病毒ＴＫ基因区内;间接免疫荧光检测显示,ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ蛋白已得到有效表达,且主要分布于细胞膜。重组病毒免疫家兔可产生明显的抗ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ中和抗体。用重组病毒免疫小鼠,３周后可使９４％（１７／１８）的小鼠对抗ＨＳＶ－２的致死量攻击,表明重组病毒具有明显的免疫保护作用。

家兔胫骨前肌肌纤维型的分布研究

根据家兔胫骨前肌的肌纤维起止、排列和神经支配特征,将该肌分为前、后两个亚体。利用家兔８例１６侧胫骨前肌,按上述两个亚体分别取材,作恒冷箱冰冻横切,肌球蛋白ＡＴＰ酶染色,将肌纤维分为Ⅰ型、ⅡＡ型、ⅡＢ型,检测各亚体的肌纤维型构成比例,肌束内肌纤维的分布特征,并用图象分析仪测量各亚体肌纤维横切面积和直径。结果发现,前、后亚体以Ⅱ型纤维居多,前亚体ⅡＡ型纤维高达３５．４％,后亚体Ⅰ型纤维多达２４．５％,两者的ⅡＢ型纤维均达５０％左右。而左、右侧之间无差异,肌束周边部内Ⅰ型纤维仅占１２．７～１３．３％,ⅡＢ型纤维高达５９．９～６０．０％,说明受肌束膜压迫影响,ⅡＢ型肌纤维血供少,以适应无氧酵解的功能。各亚体的Ⅰ型纤维较细,Ⅱ型纤维较Ⅱ粗,Ａ型与ⅡＢ型二者相似。作者认为,前亚体主要参与快速有力的足背屈运动,后亚体则维持踝关节的稳定,保持足弓的形状和弹性,以便适应该肌的站立、跑动和跳跃的功能。
