小兴安岭兴安落叶松泥炭藓沼泽植物的主要微量元素

小兴安岭兴安落叶松、泥炭藓沼泽是我国典型贫营养型沼泽。沼泽中树木生长发育不良,泥炭藓和常绿小灌木发育十分良好。这与沼泽水文状况和泥炭中营养元素和微量元素有关。各种植物的主要微量元素硼、铜、钴、锰、锌等含量不同,植物的不同器官中的含量亦不同,而且随季节而变化。狭叶杜香和甸杜的主要微量元素含量特点及其季节变化规律基本相似,两种泥炭藓相似,都与兴安落叶松有明显的区别。 本文重点探讨植物体内主要微量元素及其含量变化规律,为揭示贫营养型森林沼泽生态、为合理利用与改造沼泽提供依据。     

THE ROLE OF BACTERIAL SYMBIONTS IN AMINO ACID COMPOSITION OF BLACK BEAN APHIDS

To evaluate the role of bacterial symbionts (Buchnera spp.) in the black bean aphids (Aphis craccivora Koch), the aphids were treated with the antibiotic, rifampicin, to eliminate their intracellular symbiotic bacteria. Analysis of protein and amino acid concentration in 7‐day‐old of aposymbiotic aphids showed that the total protein content per mg fresh weight was significantly reduced by 29%, but free amino acid titers were increased by 17%. The ratio of the essential amino acids was in general only around 20% essential amino acids in phloem sap of broad bean, whereas it was 44% and 37% in symbiotic and aposymbiotic aphids, respectively, suggesting that the composition of the free amino acids was unbalanced. For example, the essential amino acid, threonine represented 21.6% of essential amino acids in symbiotic aphids, but it was only 16.7% in aposymbiotic aphids. Likewise, two nonessential amino acids, tyrosine and serine, represented 8.9% and 5.6% of total amino acids in symbiontic aphids, respectively, but they enhanced to 21.1% and 13.6% in aposymbiotic aphids. It seems likely that the elevated free amino acid concentration in aposymbiotic aphids was caused by the limited protein anabolism as the result of the unbalanced amino acid composition.

5-Methoxytryptamine Inhibits Cyclic AMP Accumulation in Cultured Retinal Neurons Through Activation of a Pertussis Toxin-Sensitive Site Distinct from the 2-[125I]Iodomelatonin Binding Site

Abstract: Melatonin and 5-methoxytryptamine inhibited forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation in cultured neural cells prepared from embryonic chick retina. Both methoxyindoles exhibited similar potency and efficacy, with EC₅₀ values of 0.8 n M for melatonin and 7.2 n M for 5-methoxytryptamine. Inhibition of cyclic AMP formation by 5-methoxytryptamine or melatonin was prevented by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. Pretreatment of cultures with 5-methoxytryptamine for 24 h reduced the subsequent inhibitory cyclic AMP response to 5-methoxytryptamine but not that to 2-iodomelatonin. Putative melatonin receptors on cultured retinal cells were labeled with 2-[¹²⁵I]iodomelatonin. Melatonin displaced specific 2-[¹²⁵I]iodomelatonin with a K _i value (0.8 n M ) similar to the EC₅₀ for inhibition of cyclic AMP formation. In contrast, 5-methoxytryptamine only inhibited 2-[¹²⁵I]iodomelatonin binding at very high concentrations ( K _i = 650 n M ). Pretreating cultured cells for 24 h with 2-iodomelatonin or melatonin, but not with 5-methoxytryptamine, reduced subsequent 2-[¹²⁵I]iodomelatonin binding. Thus, 5-methoxytryptamine appears to inhibit forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation at a site distinct from the 2-iodomelatonin binding site.

Yeast thioredoxin genes

Based on the conserved protein sequence of thioredoxins from yeast and other organisms, two primers were synthesized for polymerase chain reaction of yeast genomic DNA. A 34-base pair (bp) sequence around the active site of yeast thioredoxin was obtained from the polymerase chain reaction product. This specific sequence was used as a probe in Southern blot analysis of total yeast genomic DNA digested with various restriction enzymes. Under conditions of high stringency, more than one DNA species hybridized with the probe, suggesting that more than one gene encodes yeast genomic library. Two Sau3A1 fragments, 825 and 2045 bp, respectively, from two different clones were cloned into pUC13. Sequence analysis of these fragments gave two different open reading frames without introns. The 825-bp Sau3A1 fragment encodes a 103-amino acid residue protein named thioredoxin I. The 2045-bp Sau3A1 fragment contains a sequence encoding thioredoxin II which has 102 amino acid residues. This is the first report of the cloning and sequencing of eukaryotic thioredoxin genes from any source. Both yeast thioredoxins contain a dithiol active site sequence, Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys. Thioredoxins I and II show 78% amino acid sequence identity. They display more amino acid sequence similarity with mammalian thioredoxin than with Escherichia coli and plant chloroplast thioredoxins.
