体外细胞核组装中核纤层与核膜的关系

采用非洲爪蟾卵提取物非细胞体系,以外源Lambda DNA诱导细胞核的体外组装,以此实验模式为基础,研究了细胞核体外组装过程中核纤层的组装,结果表明核纤层蛋白参与细胞核的体外组装过程,核内骨架的组装与核纤层的组装在时间上是有序的,核内骨架的组装可能为核纤层的装配提供了先决条件.在非洲爪蟾卵提取物非细胞体系中加入抗核纤层蛋白抗体,抑制核纤层的正常装配过程,核膜组装发生异常.结果提示核纤层的组装与核膜的组装是密切相关的.     

Ovarian sequestration of [14C]-inulin by an insect: An index of vitellogenesis

[¹⁴C]-Inulin injected into the blood of female milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) undergoing vitellogenesis is sequestered in the eggs. Determination of ovarian radiocarbon uptake gives a reproducible index of the progression of vitellogenesis that permits quantitative measurements prior to oviposition or under conditions where vitellogenesis is incomplete. This assay allows intra- and interspecific comparisons of the rates of juvenile hormone biosynthesis by corpora allata (CA) when these endocrine glands are transplanted into milkweed bug females, whose CA have been chemically destroyed with precocene. The method has the potential of distinguishing between nervous and hormonal regulation of the CA.

昆虫抗药性和昆虫毒理动力学(英文)

不断地使用一种杀虫药剂防治昆虫,会导致昆虫产生抗药性。对昆虫抗药性资料进行广泛综述时,发现了仅单独的解毒作用不能被解释为家蝇对有机氯杀虫药剂产生高抗性原因。作为一个基因。家蝇可以对有机氯产生比对有机磷杀虫剂更高的抗药性,尽管有机磷杀虫剂一般在虫体内是不太稳定的。考虑到昆虫毒理的动力学,杀虫药剂的穿透作用更显示出其实际的重要性。根据穿透和解毒的速率,慢的穿透作用是解毒作用的一个限制因子。防治敏感和抗性昆虫的观察结果,可以划出物理和生物因子之间关系的几种相关曲线图解。这些相关性不仅能说明家蝇对有机磷和有机氯杀虫剂的抗性程度,而且也助于选择出新的杀虫毒剂。

Three mutations identified in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel alpha-subunit gene of permethrin-resistant human head lice reduce the permethrin sensitivity of house fly Vssc1 sodium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes

Point mutations in the para-orthologous sodium channel alpha-subunit of the head louse (M815I, T917I, and L920F) are associated with permethrin resistance and DDT resistance. These mutations were inserted in all combinations using site-directed mutagenesis at the corresponding amino acid sequence positions (M827I, T929I, and L932F) of the house fly para-orthologous voltage-sensitive sodium channel alpha-subunit (Vssc1(WT)) gene and heterologously co-expressed with the sodium channel auxiliary subunit of house fly (Vsscbeta) in Xenopus oocytes. The double mutant possessing M827I and T929I (Vssc1(MITI)/Vsscbeta) caused a approximately 4.0mV hyperpolarizing shift and the triple mutant, Vssc1(MITILF)/Vsscbeta, caused a approximately 3.2mV depolarizing shift in the voltage dependence of activation curves. Vssc1(MITI)/Vsscbeta, Vssc1(TILF)/Vsscbeta, and Vssc1(MITILF)/Vsscbeta caused depolarizing shifts ( approximately 6.6, approximately 7.6, and approximately 8.8mV, respectively) in the voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation curves. The M827I and L932F mutations reduced permethrin sensitivity when expressed alone but the T929I mutation, either alone or in combination, virtually abolished permethrin sensitivity. Thus, the T929I mutation is the principal cause of permethrin resistance in head lice. Comparison of the expression rates of channels containing single, double and triple mutations with that of Vssc1(WT)/Vsscbeta channels indicates that the M827I mutation may play a role in rescuing the decreased expression of channels containing T929I.
