广谱肾综合征出血热病毒单克隆抗体的A35的生物学性状

具有中和及血凝抑制活性的、能和世界各地分离到的肾综合征出血热病毒(HFRSV)发生反应的、广谱的单克隆抗体(McAb),对HFRSV的诊断和分子生物学研究都有重要意义。 本文着重比较了HFRSV McAbA5、A19、A25-1、A25-7和A35的生物学性状,并观察了对感染动物的实验治疗效果。

氨基酰化酶中金属锌离子的功能作用

 氨基酰化酶是含锌金属酶。该酶每摩尔蛋白中含2摩尔Zn(Ⅱ)离子。金属鳌合剂与酶作用,通过竞争螯合Zn(Ⅱ)离子使酶活力下降。残余活力与残留金属含量呈正相关。竞争螯合的结果,生成不含金属的脱辅基酶蛋白,并导致酶活力的丧失。脱辅基酶由于加入Zn(Ⅱ)离子而恢复其活力。实验表明金属锌离子是氨基酰化酶催化活力所必需。与Zn(Ⅱ)离子相似,Co(Ⅱ)离子也可与脱辅基酶相结合并使之复活。 在190—240nm区域内对比了天然酶、脱辅基酶蛋白与Co(Ⅱ)置换氨基酰化酶的圆二色谱。远紫外圆二色谱表明,与天然酶相比,在脱辅基酶中由于金属离子的丧失导致主链构象发生变化,其中α螺旋增加约7％。因而锌离子(钴离子)对蛋白主链的反应最适构象有一定的稳定作用。脱辅基酶与Co(Ⅱ)离子结合,酶的主链构象恢复至与天然酶几近相同。可认为这是促使酶复活的内在因素。     

内吞作用与胚胎诱导

在两柄类胚胎初级诱导的研究中,诱导物质如何进入反应细胞是一个受到重视(Grunzand Staubach,1979;Toivonen,1979)、但是仍未能解决的问题。为了对这一问题有所阐明,进行了离体诱导实验和电镜的观察。东方蝾螈(Cynops orientalis)早期原肠胚的外胚层块用豚鼠骨髓粗提液(BME)——有效的中胚层诱导物(Toivonen,1953)——处

三七中达马烷型皂甙的热不稳定性及酸水解产物

前人已证明人参和三七中富含的达马烷型人参皂甙在通常酸性水解下甙元即发生变化,而在弱酸(如50％醋酸,0.1N盐酸)条件下则形成次级皂甙。本文报道人参甙(ginseno-sides)和三七甙(notoginsenosides)的水溶液在水浴上加热亦分别形成相应的C-20位去糖基的次级皂甙。联系到人参和三七均有在蒸煮加工后C-20位去糖基皂甙收率增大的趋势,似可认为人参和三七中的这类皂甙有相当一部分是在生药的加工泡制以及提取过程中形成的次级皂甙,而不一定是植物体的原生成分。将人参甙Rb_1单体以酸水解,不仅得到主产物人参二醇(3),还分离到异去氢原人参二醇(5)、达马烷-20(22)-烯-3β,12β,26-三醇(6)、20(R)-达马烷-3β,12β,20,25-四醇(7)以及20(S)-和20(R)-原人参二醇(1、2)的混合物,从而认为这些微量成分与人参二醇一样均为达马烷型人参皂甙在酸性水解条件下C-20位糖基断裂后由真甙元的侧链转化形成的工作产物。     

The effect of 1-β-d-arabinofuranosyl-cytosine on the expression of the common fragile site at 3p14

Summary The effect of the G₂-treatment of 1--d-arabino-furanosyl-cytosine (araC) on the expression of the common fragile site at 3p14 (FRA3B) was studied. A significantly increased frequency of FRA3B induced by G₂ treatment of araC was found in the lymphocytes grown in folate-deficient medium (positive rate 100%). A relatively low frequency of FRA3B was also induced in the cultures with folate in four of the seven subjects. These is a synergistic effect between araC and growth in folate-deficient medium on the induction of FRA3B. The results suggest that the DNA lesions related to the expression of FRA3B induce the long-patch repair and that the low DNA polymerase activity and inefficient repair process during G₂ phase is involved in the expression of FRA3B.     

Preliminary crystallographic studies of lobster D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and the modified enzyme carrying the fluorescent derivative

When the active-site carboxymethylated D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is irradiated with ultraviolet light in the presence of NAD+, a fluorescent NAD derivative that is covalently linked to the enzyme is obtained. A preliminary crystallographic study of this fluorescent derivative, as well as of the native and the carboxymethylated enzymes from Palinurus versicolor, showed that they are isomorphous and belong to space group C2 as reported for the native enzyme from Palinurus vulgaris. The three forms of the enzyme, although they have identical unit cell parameters, differ considerably in their diffraction patterns, indicating marked differences in conformation in spite of the fact that they differ chemically only in a restricted region around the active site.
