Bacillus halodurans菌株xynM基因的克隆、表达和序列分析

目的:用2株新分离鉴定的细菌克隆与最近源种(Bacillus halodurans C-125)木聚糖酶基因的同源序列,并对其进行序列分析。方法:根据已发表的近源种(C-125)的保守区序列设计引物,扩增出与其同源的木聚糖酶基因,进而用pQE31载体对该基因进行表达。同时对表达蛋白的三维空间结构进行网络模拟分析,对蛋白同源性进行比对分析。结果:克隆的木聚糖酶基因片段分别为1284bp和1236bp,而且该基因也成功表达;该蛋白是(α/α)6折叠构象,与C-125三者同属于一个分支上。结论:通过分析、表达蛋白编码外切-1,4-β-木聚糖酶,属于M家族。这该新分离菌株木聚糖酶的研究和应用提供了重要线索。     

Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production

A series of substituted 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile analogs were evaluated in the human androgen receptor binding and cellular functional assays. Analogs with sufficient in vitro binding and cellular potency (IC(50)<200 nM) were tested in the progesterone receptor binding assay for selectivity and in the Golden Syrian hamster ear model for in vivo efficacy. Within the series, compound 4 e was identified to be the most active analog in vivo (wax ester inhibition=86%).     

Plant biodiversity and its conservation strategy in the in-undation and resettlement districts of the Yangtze Three Gorges, China

The investigation on and conservation project of plant biodiversity in the inundation and resettlement districts of the Three Gorges region were carried out with the ongoing construction of the Three Gorges Dam. Based on the first-hand specimens collected for many years and the historical records, we found that there were about 1784 higher plant species, belonging to 762 genera of 170 families, which accounted for 59.19%, 75.30% and 85.85% of the total amount of species, genera and families in the Three Gorges region, including 27 species specific in these two districts. The shrub and grass communities were mostly distributed along the low-altitude river bank zone of the Yangtze River and were largely influenced by the dynamic water level of the Three Gorges reservoir area. The measurement of Shannon-Wiener and Pielou evenness indexes on 21 Pinus massoniana (Masson pine) communities distributed in the Three Gorges reservoir area was carried out, and results showed that the biodiversity of shrub layers was the highest, followed by grass layers, the middle, and tree layers, the lowest. Among the 11 typical shrub communities in this region, the abundance of shrub layers of Form. Rhus chinensis, Form. Cotinus coggygria var. cinerea, Form. Vitex negundo var. cannabifoliaand and Form. Coriaria sinica was relatively higher, which were 16, 26, 29 and 15, respectively. These four shrubs also showed high biodiversity index (H′), which were 1.791, 3.427, 2.949 and 1.718, respectively. Among the 9 grasslands mainly distributed along the river bank zone, 4 grassland communities with higher altitude (Form. Dicranopteris dichotoma, Form. Miscanthus floridutus, Form. Imperata cylindrica var. major and Form. Arthraxon hispidus) showed higher abundance and biodiversity, which were 1.697, 1.354, 1.144 and 1.018, respectively. Considering the inundation and resettlement districts, there were 22 vegetation types threatened by submersion, including 4 woody plant communities, 9 shrub communities and 9 grassland communities. The 6 shrub communities of Form. Securinega wuxiensis, Form. Bauhinia brachycarpa, Form. Geum aleppicum, Form. Distylium chinense, Form. Buxus henryi and Form. Myrsine africana would be fully submerged and part of Adianthum reniforme var. sinensis and Buxus ichangensis would be also submerged. At present, plant species conservation and monitoring stations in the Three Gorges region have been constructed, and more than 200 plant species have already been transplanted and conserved, including 37 threatened species listed in the China Plant Red Data Book and 11 local constructive species.     

麦田一代灰飞虱（Laodelphax striatellus Fallén）若虫的时空分布

灰飞虱（Laodelphax striatellus Fallén）近年来严重危害水稻并传播病毒病,麦田是其越冬并虫量扩增后向稻田迁移的重要场所,麦田一代灰飞虱也是防治的重点对象之一。利用半方差函数模型分析了麦田一代灰飞虱若虫在时间序列上的空间结构,得出了空间自相关的各项属性与虫口密度或环境因素的关系：长、短变程与密度无关,保持相对稳定;块金常数与密度成正相关（比例效应的存在）,随机性强度与密度成三次多项式曲线相关;各向异性主要由于麦田行株距的差别所决定。并用一般克立金方法作出预测表面图,按时间顺序排列,将灰飞虱若虫在田间的时空分布情况直观地显示出来进行比较分析,得出灰飞虱若虫具有比较稳定的时空分布,认为食料充足、生境孤立、自身行动力较弱是形成这种情况的主要原因,此外包括天敌在内的一些次要因素也对其种群分布产生影响。

西双版纳热带雨林凋落叶分解过程Ⅱ.微生物与线虫的群落动态

通过野外试验与室内模拟相结合,对西双版纳热带雨林生态系统混合凋落叶分解过程中微生物和线虫种群动态变化进行了系统研究。野外试验采用网袋法（即1mm和100μm网眼网袋,分别限制大型土壤动物和螨类的进入）,室内试验采用灭菌一接种法,以观测不同生物组成条件下线虫和微生物对凋落叶的分解作用。结果表明,伴随分解进程,微生物基本呼吸速率不断下降且与分解进程正相关。利用底物诱导呼吸法测定微生物生物量以及细菌、真菌生物量的变化表明,微生物在凋落叶分解过程中的演替遵循一定的路线。当土壤动物参与分解时,由于捕食压力的存在,微生物一般按照“双峰”型路线变化,并存在明显的生物演替现象,在这个过程中微生物对C的利用效率也不断提高;当不存在这种捕食压力时,微生物表现为“单峰-递减”式发展模式,生物量由强到弱变化,微生物对C的利用效率持续下降。土壤动物在凋落叶分解过程中表现为“单峰”型变化动态,与微生物量“双峰”动态形成互补,捕食者与被捕食者之间是一种“捕食-激发”作用下的种群消长关系,这种关系的强烈程度与捕食压力有关。“双峰”发展路线在一定程度上加速了凋落叶的分解进程。

人类驱动结合蛋白及其与某些疾病的相关性

驱动结合蛋白（Kinectin）是真核细胞内生物进化上的保守蛋白质,已发现的功能有（1）与驱动蛋白（Kinesin）相连参与细胞胞吐、胞质运输和有丝分裂等活动;（2）是RhoG蛋白依赖微管的细胞内活动的效应物;（3）是整合素依赖的黏附分子复合体的重要组分;（4）转录延长因子-I通过与驱动结合蛋白结合锚着于内质网,发挥相应的生物学作用。随着研究的深入,发现人类驱动结合蛋白与某些疾病如甲状腺癌、白塞病、再生障碍性贫血、肝细胞癌有一定的相关性。
