一种新的硒酶——硫氧还蛋白还原酶

必需微量元素硒的生物功能主要是通过各种硒酶和硒蛋白来实现的,如谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（ＧＰｘ）类具有抗氧化功能,碘甲腺原氨酸脱碘酶（ＤＩ）类在甲状腺激素的生物合成和代谢中具有重要作用。已有研究表明,在哺乳动物各种组织中可能大约存在２５种左右硒蛋白,但是迄...     

A novel receptor-targeted gene delivery system for cancer gene therapy

Some growth factor receptors, such as insulin like growth factor Ⅰ and Ⅱ receptor (IGF Ⅰ R, IGF Ⅱ R) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF R), have been proved to be over-expressed in a variety of human cancers derived from different tissue origins. Based on this molecular alteration, a polypeptide conjugate gene delivery system was designed and synthesized. It contains three essential moieties: a ligand oligopeptide (LOP) for receptor recognition, a polycationic polypeptide (PCP) such as protamine (PA) or poly-L-lysine (PL) as a backbone for DNA binding and an endosome-releasing oligopeptide (EROP) such as influenza baenagglutinin oligopeptide (HA20) for endosomolysis. These components are covalently conjugated as LOP-PCP-HA20 or in the form of a mixture of LOP-PCP and HA20-PCP. A 14 amino acid E5 was designed and synthesized as LOP for IGF Ⅰ R and IGF Ⅱ R, and a 16 amino acid GE7 as LOP for EGF R. Both E5 and GE7 systems could form stable complex with the plasmid DNA as E5-PCP/DNA/PCP-HA20 a     

The phylogenetic relationships among the possible donors of B-genome of common wheat based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences

The ITS regions of 5 species in Aegilops sect. Sitopsis, the possible donors of Bgenome of common wheat, were amplified by PCR, cloned and sequenced. The phylogenetic relationships among 5 species in Aegilops sect. Sitopsis were constructed based on ITS1 + ITS2 sequences. The results demonstrated that Ae. speltoides was a distinct species in Aegilops sect. Sitopsis. The average of the pairwise distances between Ae. speltoides and the other four species was three times as high as that among the latter four. Ae. speltoides was the earliest lineage of the section under question. Relationship between Ae. longissima and Ae. sharonensis was the closest in Aegilops sect. Sitopsis. Sequence of ITS regioncould be used as a molecular marker to identify origin of B-genome in polyploid wheats.     

内蒙古准格尔旗对臼沟本溪组及腕足动物群落

介绍了内蒙古准格尔旗对臼沟本溪组含腕足动物地层,对该地区本溪组腕足动物群和性质特点进行了分析。并在识别腕足动物群落的基础上,从种的分异度,种的相对丰度,群落空间分布与能量分配等角度探讨了该腕足动物群落的一些结构模式,指出Ｅｃｈｉｎｏｃｏｃｈｕｓ ｅｌｅｇａｎｓ－Ｏｈｏｒｉｓｔｉｔｅｓ ｗｅｉｎｉｎｇｅｎｓｉｓ腕足动物群落已基本属于演替阶段中的顶极群落。     

羚牛肉、脂、蹄腺分泌物的生化分析

人类对于大型偶蹄类动物的利用已有较多先例,北美麝牛(Ovibous muschtus)近年在加拿大、美国等已经驯养,并以其毛绒作为一种特殊的毛丝工业原料。美洲野牛(Bison Americasus)已与家牛杂交生产肉用牛。我国青藏高原的牦牛(Bos grinus)与黄牛杂交而成的犏牛,已成为藏民的主要肉乳兼用牛。羚牛(Budorcas taxicolor)系稀有动物,为亚洲特产,分布于中国、印度、缅甸及不丹。中国的羚牛分布于川、陕、甘、滇、藏5省区,为分布区最广、数量最多、资源量丰富的国家(Wu,1985)。     

用ITS序列确定小麦B基因组的可能供体间的关系

对小麦B基因组的可能供体山羊草属Aegilops sect．Sitopsis的5个种的核糖体DNA的内部转 录区(ITS)进行了PCR扩增和克隆,井测定ITSl和ITS2的序列,用ITSl+ITS2的序列重建了 Aegilops sect．Sitopsis中5个种的系统发育关系。结果表明,斯卑尔脱山羊草Ae．speltoides是sect． Sitopsis中特殊的一个种,它与该组其余4种间的平均遗传距离是后者彼此间平均遗传距离的3倍,Ae． speltoides与同组其余4个种的分离要比后者相互间的分离早得多;在拟斯卑尔脱组Sect．Sitopsis的5 个种中,长柱山羊草Ae．longissima与沙融山羊草Ae．sharonensis的关系最近。ITS序列可以进一步用来作为确定B基因组起源的分子标记。     

印度南瓜果皮和果肉颜色遗传分析及基因定位

以印度南瓜‘98-2-351’与‘06820-1’杂交构建F2群体,对亲本及各世代群体成熟果实果皮和果肉颜色进行调查、统计分析。结果表明:F2群体中果皮桔红色和灰色的分离比呈3∶1,说明果皮灰色是由单隐性基因控制;F2群体中果肉黄色和白色的分离比呈3∶1,说明果肉白色也是由单隐性基因控制。利用群体分离分析法结合隐性群体分析法,采用SSR分子标记,找到了2个与控制灰色果皮基因位点CmRc紧密连锁的SSR标记(PU078072和PU013839),其连锁遗传距离分别为5.9cM和14.5cM;同时找到了1个与控制白色果肉基因位点CmFc紧密连锁的SSR标记PU132712,其连锁遗传距离为6.7cM。本研究为进一步筛选与控制印度南瓜果皮和果肉颜色基因更加紧密连锁的分子标记及相关基因的精确定位奠定了基础。     

海岛棉GbTCP5基因的克隆与表达分析

该研究根据前期海岛棉的转录组数据,通过PCR技术从海岛棉‘新海21’中克隆1个TCP基因,命名为GbTCP5,其开放阅读框945bp,编码314个氨基酸,预测分子量约34.95kD,等电点8.41;多序列比对结果表明,GbTCP5蛋白含有特征性的TCP保守结构域;进化树分析表明,GbTCP5基因与GhTCP17基因在同一分支。qPCR实验结果表明,GbTCP5基因在35d纤维中表达量较高,暗示其可能参与棉花纤维的次生壁合成。酵母单杂交实验表明,GbTCP5在SD-Trp-His-Ade缺陷培养基上生长并且X-gal检验显蓝色,说明该基因在酵母体内具有转录激活功能。
