The structure of d(TpA), the major photoproduct of thymidylyl-(3'5')-deoxyadenosine.

Irradiation of the dinucleotide TpdA and TA-containing oligonucleotides and DNA produces the TA* photoproduct which was proposed to be the [2+2] cyclo-addition adduct between the C5-C6 double bonds of the T and the A [Bose,S.N., Kumar,S., Davies,R.J.H., Sethi,S.K. and McCloskey,J.A. (1984) Nucleic Acids Res. 12, 7929-7947]. The proposed structure was based on a variety of spectroscopic and chemical degradation studies, and the assignment of a trans-syn-I stereochemistry was based on an extensive 1H-NMR and molecular modeling study of the dinucleotide adduct [Koning,T.M.G., Davies,R.J.H. and Kaptein,R. (1990) Nucleic Acids Res. 18, 277-284]. However, a number of properties of TA* are not in accord with the originally proposed structure, and prompted a re-evaluation of the structure. To assign the 13C spectrum and establish the bond connectivities of the TA* photoproduct of TpdA [d(TpA)*], 1H-13C heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) spectra were obtained. The 13C shifts and connectivities were found to be inconsistent with the originally proposed cyclobutane ring fusion between the thymine and adenine, but could be explained by a subsequent ring-expansion reaction to give an eight-membered ring valence isomer. The new structure for the d(TpA)* resolves the inconsistencies with the originally proposed structure, and could have a stereochemistry that arises from the anti, anti glycosyl conformation found in B form DNA.     

自养黄杆菌合成羟基丁酸和羟基戊酸共聚体的发酵研究

采用本实验室从土壤中分离到的一株自养黄杆菌进行了羟基丁酸和羟基戊酸共聚体〔P(HB-co-HV)〕的发酵试验。实验结果表明,该菌株是自养黄杆菌葡萄糖运输突变株,可以葡萄糖、果糖、蔗糖、麦芽糖、乙酸盐、乳酸盐和苹果酸盐作为唯一碳源,尤以葡萄糖和果糖效果最佳。硫酸铵、氯化铵和蛋白胨等不同氮源不影响其生长,却影响细胞中P(HB-co-HV)的含量和P(HB-co-HV)中HV/HB的比例。应用两阶段控制方式,经42h的补料分批发酵,细胞浓度达34.9g·L~(-1),P(HB-co-HV)浓度达25.28g·L~(-1)。细胞和P(HB-co-HV)生产速率系数分别为0.83g·L~(-1)”·h~(-1)和0.61g·L~(-1)·h~(-1)。以基质为基准的细胞得率系数(Yx/s)、产物得率系数(Yp/s)和以干细胞为基准的产物得率系数(Yp/x)分别为0.283(g/g)、0.174(g/g)和0.73(g/g)。改变培养基中碳氮源组分可将P(HB-co-HV)中HB的含量调节在24％～78％之间。     

Genomic Analysis of a New Mammalian Distal-less Gene: Dlx7

We have cloned a new Dlx gene (Dlx7) from human and mouse that may represent the mammalian orthologue of the newt geneNvHBox-5.The homeodomains of these genes are highly similar to all other vertebrate Dlx genes, and regions of similarity also exist between mammalian Dlx7 and a subset of vertebrate Dlx genes downstream of the homeodomain. The sequence divergence between human and mouse Dlx7 in these regions is greater than that predicted from comparisons of other vertebrate Dlx genes, however, and there is little sequence similarity upstream of the homeodomain both between these two genes and with other Dlx genes. We present evidence for alternative splicing of mouseDlx7upstream of the homeodomain that may account for some of this divergence. We have mapped humanDLX7distal to the 5′ end of the HOXB cluster at an estimated distance of between 1 and 2 Mb by FISH. Both the human and the mouse Dlx7 are shown to be closely linked to Dlx3 in a convergently transcribed orientation. These mapping results support the possibility that vertebrate distal-less genes have been duplicated in concert with the Hox clusters.     

A comparison of calcium binding inCallinectes sapidus premolt and postmolt cuticle homogenates: Implications for regulation of biomineralization

Cuticle tissue homogenates (CTHs) fromCallinectes sapidus premolt cuticle bound approximately 367% more Ca²⁺ ions than did those from the postmolt cuticle. ThepH-stat assay which was used to comparein vitro CaCO₃ nucleation times confirmed that the premolt CTHs had greater inhibitory activity than did the postmolt CTHs. This inhibitory activity was indicated by CaCO₃ nucleation times in excess of control values. Premolt nucleation times exceeded those of postmolt samples by approximately 340%. A positive correlation was observed between Ca²⁺ binding and calcification inhibitory activity for both premolt and postmolt CTHs. Heat pretreatment of CTHs at 70°C for a 24-hr period had no significant effect on their Ca²⁺ binding. However, this heat pretreatment decreased their calcification inhibitory activity. Pretreatment of CTHs with Ca²⁺ diminished their calcification inhibitory activity. These results are consistent with a mechanism for inhibition of biocalcification by these proteins which involves their initial reversible binding to nascent calcite nuclei growth steps and kinks, rather than theirin vivo interaction with free Ca²⁺ ions in solution.

草鱼出血病病毒多肽的免疫原性

采用中和试验比较了草鱼出血病病毒ＧＣＨＶ８７３的１１个多肽的免疫原性,确定了主要中和抗原。纯化的单个病毒多肽免疫家兔获得抗血清,多太ＶＰ１、ＶＰ５、ＶＰ６和ＶＰ９的抗血清具有中和效价,而ＶＰ２、ＶＰ３、ＶＰ４、ＶＰ８、ＶＰ１０和ＶＰ１１则不能诱生中和抗体。其中ＶＰ５的抗血清中和效价最高,因此,ＶＰ６极可能是病毒多肽中的主要中和抗原。     

不同月龄婴儿接种DTP后血清中百日咳抗体水平的观测

本文对比观察了２１３例２月龄、３月龄婴儿接种ＤＴＰ后百日咳抗体水平的变化,探讨了母传抗体对免后抗体增长的影响。结果表明２月龄、３月龄婴儿ＤＴＰ免疫后１个月和３个月血清中百日咳抗体达保护水平的百分率无显著性差异（ｘ￣２＝０．０３６,ｐ＞０．９;ｘ￣２＝０．３２７,ｐ＞０．５）,免后１个月抗体ＧＭＴ无显著性差异（ｔ＝０．１７,ｐ＞０．５）,免后３个月抗体ＧＭＴ３月龄组高于２月龄组（ｔ＝２．２２,ｐ＜０．０５）。我们还发现免前抗体水平与免后１个月ＧＭＴ虽有负相关（ｒ＝—０,７５４）的倾向,但总体上对抑制免后抗体应答不明显,因而建议将儿童ＤＴＰ基础免疫的起始月龄提前至２月龄进行。
