绿色微囊藻的混合营养生长

研究绿色微囊藻(Microcystis viridis)在混合条件下的生长特性,以及葡萄糖,光照强度和pH对绿色微囊藻生长的影响。结果表明:绿色微囊藻混合营养生长与光能自养生长相比,生长速率明显提高,对数期延长,生物量显著提高;随着初始葡萄糖浓度在0~18.0g/l范围内增加,同一光照条件下明显提高了藻细胞的生长速率,但在初始葡萄糖浓度18.0~36.0g/l范围内,同一光照条件下葡萄糖浓度的高低对藻细胞的生长速率不再有更大的影响;在光照强度24~112μE·m^-2·s^-1范围内,初始葡萄糖浓度相同条件下藻细胞的生长速率及对葡萄糖的藻体得率都随光照强度的增强而增大,但当光照强度在112~200μE·m^-2·s^-1时,绿色微囊藻的生长速率增加幅度较小,出现了光饱和现象;当pH处于8.0~10.0间,明显促进了绿色微囊藻的生长,偏离该范围越大,越抑制绿色微囊藻的生长,甚至导致死亡。     

表达猪圆环病毒2型Cap蛋白重组复制缺陷型人5型腺病毒的构建及小鼠免疫试验

构建表达猪圆环病毒2型Cap蛋白重组复制缺陷型人5型腺病毒,评价其对小鼠免疫效果。本研究将编码PCV2Cap蛋白的ORF2克隆到腺病毒表达系统穿梭质粒,构建了重组穿梭质粒pacAd5CMV-Cap。将被限制性内切酶PacI线性化后的骨架质粒和重组穿梭质粒共转染HEK293AD细胞,两者在真核细胞内同源重组并包装出携带PCV2-Cap基因的复制缺陷型重组人5型腺病毒,命名为rAd5-Cap;以同样方法重组获得了不含任何靶基因的野生型重组腺病毒wt-rAd5。病毒增殖稳定后,rAd5-Cap与wt-rAd5滴度可达到108.5 TCID50/mL左右;一步增殖实验证明,相对于wt-rAd5,rAd5-Cap中Cap基因的引入几乎没有给重组腺病毒增殖造成影响。RT-PCR和间接免疫荧光实验显示,rAd5-Cap能够有效介导PCV2Cap蛋白在真核细胞HEK293AD细胞中表达。以107 TCID50的rAd5-Cap肌肉注射接种小鼠,14d后小鼠血清中产生可检测水平的针对Cap蛋白的体液免疫应答,并且至少在免疫后28d之前抗体水平持续加强。对重组腺病毒的分子生物学鉴定和在小鼠上的初步免疫试验结果表明,重组腺病毒rAd5-Cap可介导Cap蛋白在真核细胞中的表达,并且表达的靶蛋白具有较好的免疫原性,为进一步将其开发成新型PCV2疫苗奠定了基础。     

缺失nifE的棕色固氮菌突变种MoFe蛋白的纯化及体外激活

经DEAE纤维素、Sephacryl S-300和Q-Sepharose柱层析分离纯化,从缺失nifE的棕色固氮菌(Azotobactervinelandii Lipmann)突变种(DJ35)的无细胞粗提物中得到△nifE MoFe蛋白(△nifE Av1).SDS凝胶电泳分析表明,△nifE Av1的亚单位种类和分子量分别与棕色固氮菌野生型(OP)MoFe蛋白(Av1)的α和β亚单位相似.当与固氮酶Fe蛋白(Av2)活性互补时,△nifE Av1不具有还原质子的能力,但从OP Av1中抽提的FeMoco却可使其激活.经过量的邻菲啰啉(o-phen)厌氧处理并经Sephadex G-25柱层析分离后,便得到△nifE Av1 .在同时存在Av2和MgATP发生系统的条件下,△nifE Av1 ,而不是△nifE Av1,可为由KMnO4、高柠檬酸铁、Na2S、Na2S2O4和二硫苏糖醇组成的含Mn重组液(RS-Mn)显著激活.但在缺少MgATP或Av2的条件下,RS-Mn则不能激活△nifE Av1 .这就表明,RS-Mn对△nifE Av1 的激活需要o-phen的预先处理及同时存在Av2和MgATP的这二个条件.     

跨膜型肿瘤坏死因子α稳定表达细胞株的构建

目的：在体内,相对分子质量为26×103的跨膜型肿瘤坏死因子α（mTNF-α）可被TNF转化酶（TACE）酶解成相对分子质量为17×103的游离型TNF-α（sTNF-α）。为评价新研发的TNF-α全人源单克隆抗体与mTNF-α的结合能力,以及该单抗的ADCC作用,须构建只能稳定表达mTNF-α而不受TACE影响的Sp2/0细胞株。方法：PCR扩增缺失了TACE酶切位点的人TNF-α野生型基因序列,构建pcDNA3.1（＋）-dTNF-α重组质粒并测序鉴定;重组质粒转染Sp2/0细胞,构建只能稳定表达mTNF-α的细胞株,用流式细胞仪检测其表达情况。结果：pcDNA3.1（＋）-dTNF-α重组质粒测序结果与设计缺失基因的碱基序列完全一致,重组质粒构建成功;转染的阳性细胞株经流式细胞仪检测有表达,其中Clone11、15、16的表达量最高。结论：跨膜型TNF-α稳定表达细胞株构建成功,可用于TNF-α全人源单克隆抗体体外药效的评价。     

Molecular deconvolution of the neutralizing antibodies induced by an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus vaccine

Dear Editor, The rapid emergence and persistence of the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) has had enormous impacts on global health and the economy.Effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are urgently needed to control the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic,and multiple vaccines have been found to be efficacious in preventing symptomatic COVID-19(Polack et al.,2020;Wu et al.,2020;Jones and Roy,2021).We have developed a traditional beta-propiolactone-inacti-vated aluminum hydroxide-adjuvanted whole-virion SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (BBIBP-CorV),which elicited protective immune responses in clinical trials (Wang et al.,2020;Xia et al.,2021).The vaccine has been granted conditional approvals or emergency use authorizations (EUAs) in China and other countries.     

Apolygus lucorum genome provides insights into omnivorousness and mesophyll feeding

Apolygus lucorum (Miridae) is an omnivorous pest that occurs worldwide and is notorious for the serious damage it causes to various crops and substantial economic losses. Although some studies have examined the biological characteristics of the mirid bug, no reference genome is available in Miridae, limiting in‐depth studies of this pest. Here, we present a chromosome‐scale reference genome of A. lucorum, the first sequenced Miridae species. The assembled genome size was 1.02 Gb with a contig N50 of 785 kb. With Hi‐C scaffolding, 1,016 Mb contig sequences were clustered, ordered and assembled into 17 large scaffolds with scaffold N50 length 68 Mb, each corresponding to a natural chromosome. Numerous transposable elements occur in this genome and contribute to the large genome size. Expansions of genes associated with omnivorousness and mesophyll feeding such as those related to digestion, chemosensory perception, and detoxification were observed in A. lucorum, suggesting that gene expansion contributed to its strong environmental adaptability and severe harm to crops. We clarified that a salivary enzyme polygalacturonase is unique in mirid bugs and has significantly expanded in A. lucorum, which may contribute to leaf damage from this pest. The reference genome of A. lucorum not only facilitates biological studies of Hemiptera as well as an understanding of the damage mechanism of mesophyll feeding, but also provides a basis on which to develop efficient control technologies for mirid bugs.     

alpha-硫辛酸对2 型糖尿病早期肾病的保护作用研究

目的：探讨注射用alpha-硫辛酸对2 型糖尿病早期肾病（DN）的保护作用。方法：将56 例2 型糖尿病早期肾病患者随机分为治 疗组28 例,采用注射alpha-硫辛酸加常规治疗;对照组28 例,仅给予常规治疗。治疗前后测定尿微量白蛋白排泄率（UAER）、超氧化 物歧化酶（SOD）、丙二醛（MDA）、一氧化氮（NO）水平。结果：与治疗前比较,治疗组UAER及MDA均显著降低（P＜0.05）,SCr、 SOD及NO 显著升高（P＜0.05）。对照组SCr、UAER、SOD、MDA 及NO与治疗前比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。结论：注射用 alpha-硫辛酸能减少2型糖尿病肾病患者尿微量白蛋白的排泄,对早期肾病具有保护作用。     

自交对白菜型冬油菜生理生化特性及抗寒性的影响

为了解自交对白菜型冬油菜后代生理生化特性及抗寒性的影响,以6份白菜型冬油菜为材料,研究了在越冬降温前与降温后,自交和开放授粉后代植株叶片生理生化指标及越冬率的变化。结果表明:(1)除MDA含量外,无论是降温前还是降温后,白菜型冬油菜自交后代植株叶片中的SOD、CAT、POD的活性以及可溶性蛋白和游离脯氨酸含量都较开放授粉表现出不同程度的降低,其幼苗越冬率也较开放授粉植株显著降低。(2)与降温前相比,降温后所有测定指标在两种授粉方式后代中都表现为上升的趋势,其中以CAT活性变化最为显著。研究认为,自交会使白菜型冬油菜后代植株叶片中保护酶活性及可溶性蛋白和游离脯氨酸含量明显降低,MDA含量升高,导致幼苗的越冬率显著下降,进而引起其植株抗寒性减弱。     

细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶活化激酶(CAK)的研究进展

细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶(CDKs)的基本功能是对细胞周期进行调控。CDKs的激活需要与特异性亚基cyclins结合,并被CDK7-cyclinH-MAT1三元复合物(CAK)磷酸化。此外,CDK7-cylinH-MAT1还是转录因子ⅡH(TFⅡH)的亚基组成部分,磷酸化RNA聚合酶Ⅱ(RNAPⅡ)大亚基的羧基末端结构域(CTD)。CAK因为在细胞周期过程中的重要作用,而受到越来越广泛的关注。本文主要就CAK自身活性调节及其对细胞周期的调控进展作一综述。
