玉米黄早4雄性不育系、保持系过氧化物酶同工酶的比较研究

在玉米黄早4雄性不育系、保持系的10个组织(叶、根、茎、芽鞘、胚轴、苞叶、穗轴、花丝、雌蕊、花药)中共检测出18种正、负极向过氧化物酶,其中有7个组织不育系与保持系间过氧化物酶没有差异,只有在3个组织中(叶、茎、花药)不育系与保持系间的过氧化物酶存在差异,说明玉米黄早4雄性不育系及保持系的过氧化物酶可能由细胞核基因编码。不育系与保持系个别组织内过氧化物酶存在差异,可能是由于核内编码过氧化物酶的基因表达异常所引起,而这种表达异常,可能是与不育系中不育细胞质基因调控核基因的表达有关。

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature inflorescence segments of Coix lacryma-jobi

Callus was obtained from segments of immature inflorescence of Coix lacryma-jobi cultured on N6 medium containing 1–2 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 3–5% sucrose. Plantlets were regenerated when embryogenic calluses were transferred onto MS medium with 0.5 mg/l kinetin and 0.01 mg/l naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Regenerated plants had the diploid chromosome number (2n=20).

Serum Albumin Washing Specifically Enhances Arachidonate Incorporation into Synaptosomal Phosphatidylinositols

Arachidonate incorporation into synaptosomal phospholipids was shown to be affected by factors including the procedure for preparation of the membrane fractions and preincubation of synaptosomes prior to assay of incorporation of arachidonate into both phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylinositol (PI). However, the inhibition toward incorporation into PIs, but not PCs, was fully reversed when the membranes were washed with bovine serum albumin. A twofold increase in arachidonate incorporation into PIs was also observed when freshly prepared synaptosomes were washed with serum albumin immediately before assay of incorporation activity. The inhibitory action is thought to be due to an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids and/or their oxidation products which may then elicit a special effect on the acyltransferase responsible for transferring arachidonate into phosphatidylinositols. The differences in fatty acid uptake and response to serum albumin also suggest the presence of different acyltransferase for acyl transfer to PIs and PCs.     

Detergent Effects on the Phosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase C in Rat Brain Synaptosomes

In the presence of Ca2+ (2.5 mM) and using [14C]arachidonoyl phosphatidylinositol (PI) membrane as substrate, phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) (EC 3.1.4.10) in rat brain synaptosomes was activated by deoxycholate but not taurocholate. Calcium stimulated enzymic hydrolysis by both detergents, but the stimulatory effect of taurocholate was less than that of deoxycholate. Peak stimulation for deoxycholate was observed at 1 mg/ml, whereas that for taurocholate was 4 mg/ml. When 1 mM EDTA was added to the taurocholate (4 mg/ml) and Ca2+ (3.5 mM) system, synaptosomal PI-PLC activity was greatly stimulated, to almost the same level as the deoxycholate + Ca2+ system. This system required the presence of all three factors, and EGTA could not effectively replace EDTA in the stimulatory action. The detergent-induced hydrolysis of synaptosomal PI by the deoxycholate + Ca2+ and the taurocholate + Ca2+ + EDTA systems was strongly inhibited by divalent metal ions such as Zn2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Fe2+, whereas Mg2+ and Ca2+ were ineffective. Nevertheless, only the deoxycholate + Ca2+ system was responsive to enzyme inhibition by membrane-perturbing agents such as lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. The specific requirement for EDTA in the taurocholate system may be due to the release of a pool of inhibitory divalent metal ions from the membranes.     

THE METABOLISM OF PALMITIC ACID IN THE PHOSPHOLIPIDS, NEUTRAL GLYCERIDES AND GALACTOLIPIDS OF MOUSE BRAIN

Abstract— Following intracerebral injection, [¹⁴C]palmitic acid was rapidly incorporated into a variety of brain lipids. After 12 hr, 78 per cent of the lipid radioactivity was in phospholipids, 15 per cent was in triacylglycerols, 1 per cent each was in free fatty acids and galactolipids, and the remainder was in other neutral glycerides. Over 65 per cent of the phospholipid radioactivity was found in the choline phosphoglycerides but this proportion decreased substantially with time. At later times, increasing portions of the radioactivity were present in the monounsaturated acyl groups and the alkenyl groups but no radioactivity was detected in cholesterol or polyunsaturated acyl groups. These results indicate that most of the extensive recycling of radioactivity took place without oxidative degradation of the palmitoyl groups. The relative rates of incorporation of radioactivity were compared at 12 hr after injection. The specific radioactivities of the serine, ethanolamine, and choline phosphoglycerides had ratios of 6:3:2 based on the palmitoyl group content and 1:2:4 based on their phosphorus content. The specific radioactivities of galactolipids with O -acyl groups were higher than the specific radioactivitiesof cerebrosides or cerebroside sulphates. A new solvent mixture for thin-layer chromatography of brain galactolipids was described (chloroform-acetone-methanol-water, 60:20:20:1, by vol.).
