细胞色素C_3在Rhodopseudomonas caosulata载色体光合磷酸化中的作用

细胞色素C_3不仅能增进除去铁氧还蛋白载色体的循环光合磷酸化活性的恢复,而且也增进以DCPIPH_2为电子供体,维生素K_3、反丁烯二酸分别为电子受体构成的非循环光合磷酸化活性的恢复。 氩气相下,细胞色素C_3促进正常载色体光合磷酸化活性的最适浓度是1.8 μmol,当PMS存在时,这一促进作用随C_3浓度的增加而直线上升,然后呈稳态。 Antimycin A(10~(-7)mol/L)能充分抑制C_3参与的光合磷酸化活性,这一抑制现象在PMS存在时消失。 o~-phenanthroline(1×10~(-5)mol/L.)对C_3参与的光合磷酸化活性亦具抑制作用,并被PMS的添加而消失,当浓度提高时(10~(-3)mol/L),抑制现象不因PMS的存在而消失。 氢气相下的载色体光合磷酸化活性比氩气相下的低,并且随着载色体贮存(-20℃)时间的增长而急剧下降,24h贮存,丧失活性达60％。C_3对氢气相下的光合磷酸化活性具明显的促进作用,而铁氧还蛋白则不能,但两者同时存在时,其磷酸化活性显著提高。     

环境因子对根瘤菌吸氢活性表达的影响

自生条件下,测定准噶尔盆地南部的68株根瘤菌吸氢活力,获得一株Hup~+的冬箭筈豌豆根瘤菌C_(48)。经与紫云英根瘤菌株109及89比较,两者氢酶表达的最适pH相同;温度分别以20或30℃为宜;Ni~(2+)显著促进吸氢表达,但C_(48)还受Co~(2+ )、Mg~(2+)、Cu~(2+)的促进;紫云英根瘤菌的氨酶表达受碳水化合物抑制较冬箭筈豌豆根瘤菌明显。此外,自生条件下生长的Hup—菌株,经与宿主共生后,Hup~+的百分率大为增加。     

鸡胚视网膜发育中花生凝集素结合糖蛋白的图谱

我们应用微量(1—3微克蛋白)等电点聚焦和SDS双向电泳对鸡胚视网膜发育的第4天(E_4)到第16天(E_(16))总蛋白图谱进行分析,并结合印迹的PNA免疫酶标反应,分析了总蛋白中与PNA结合的糖蛋白图谱的变化。E_4时没有看到PNA结合糖蛋白的任何阳性反应的斑点,E_6时这种糖蛋白的种数突然增加,约占总蛋白数的20%。新的糖蛋白增加的速率在E_6时最快,存其后的发育阶段(E_8—E_(16))慢于总蛋白增加的速率。这种糖蛋白大都是等电点在中性pH范围内,中等大小分子量的糖肽。视神经的总蛋白中含PNA结合糖蛋白数的比例高于同一发育年龄视网膜中的比例,这说明糖蛋白可能主要存在于质膜上。视网膜的总蛋白图谱相似于前脑的,但与视顶盖的更相近。本文对这种能与PNA结合,即含有D-半乳糖残基的糖蛋白在视网膜发育中的意义进行了讨论。     

Distribution and biosynthesis of aminopeptidase N and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV in rat small intestine

The regional, cellular and subcellular distribution patterns of aminopeptidase N and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV were examined in rat small intestine. Aminopeptidase N of brush border membrane had maximal activity in the upper and middle intestine, while dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV had a more uniform distribution profile with relatively high activity in the ileum. Along the villus and crypt cell gradient, the activity of both enzymes was maximally expressed in the mid-villus cells. However there was substantial dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV activity in the crypt cells. Both enzymes were primarily associated with brush border membranes in all segments, however, in the proximal intestine, a significant amount of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV activity was associated with the cytosol fraction. The cytosol and brush border membrane forms of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV were immunologically identical and had the same electrophoretic mobility on disc gels. In contrast, the soluble and brush border membrane-bound forms of aminopeptidase N were immunologically distinct. When the total amount of aminopeptidase N and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV was determined by competitive radioimmunoassay, there were no regional or cellular differences in specific activity (enzyme activity/mg of enzyme protein) of either enzyme in brush border membrane and homogenate. The specific activity of both enzymes in a purified Golgi membrane fraction as measured by radioimmunoassay was about half that of the brush border membrane fraction. These results suggest that (1) aminopeptidase N and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV have different regional, cellular and subcellular distribution patterns; (2) there are enzymatically inactive forms of both enzymes present in a constant proportion to active molecules and that (3) a two-fold activation of precursor enzyme forms occurs during transfer from the Golgi membranes to the brush border membranes.     

Long-acting contraceptive agents: Norethisterone esters of arylcarboxylic acids

The synthesis of esters of norethisterone (17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxy-estr-4-en-3-one) with acids containing a benzene ring is described, two methods of esterification being compared in terms of yield and convenience. The activities of these esters as long-acting contraceptive agents have been evaluated.     

Preliminary crystallographic studies of lobster D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and the modified enzyme carrying the fluorescent derivative

When the active-site carboxymethylated D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is irradiated with ultraviolet light in the presence of NAD+, a fluorescent NAD derivative that is covalently linked to the enzyme is obtained. A preliminary crystallographic study of this fluorescent derivative, as well as of the native and the carboxymethylated enzymes from Palinurus versicolor, showed that they are isomorphous and belong to space group C2 as reported for the native enzyme from Palinurus vulgaris. The three forms of the enzyme, although they have identical unit cell parameters, differ considerably in their diffraction patterns, indicating marked differences in conformation in spite of the fact that they differ chemically only in a restricted region around the active site.     

Aliesterase activity and reproduction in Musca domestica: Effects of DDT and metepa

The chemosterilant metepa, administered orally and topically to adult M. domestica, was found to reduce aliesterase activity, to reduce the hatch of eggs, and when administered orally it also prolonged the pre-ovipositional period. Orally administered DDT had little effect on aliesterase but did reduce egg viability. Selection of a strain of M. domestica with diazinon, in an attempt to increase its resistance to diazinon, had the unexpected result of the flies becoming more susceptible but concomitantly their level of aliesterase was significantly increased. The aliesterase level of the immature stages of M. domestica is reported.

---

Zusammenfassung Es wurde festgestellt, daß das Chemosterilisans Metepa bei oraler oder topischer Applikation bei erwachsenen Stubenfliegen die Aliesterase-Aktivität herabsetzt, die Schlüpfrate der Eier vermindert und bei oraler Anwendung auch die Präovipositionszeit verlängert. Oral verabreichtes DDT hat wenig Einfluß auf die Aliesterase, setzt aber die Lebensfähigkeit der Eier herab. Die Selektion einer Linie von Musca domestica durch Diazinon mit dem Ziel, ihre Resistenz gegen Diazinon zu erhöhen, hatte das unerwartete Ergebnis, daß die Fliegen empfindlicher wurden, zugleich aber ihr Aliesterase-Spiegel signifikant anstieg. Der Aliesterase-Spiegel der nicht erwachsenen Stubenfliegen-Stadien wird angegeben.

几个生态因子对黄盖鲽的影响

黄盖鲽(Psuedopleuronectes yokohameGünther)是鲽科中的冷温性鱼类,广泛分布在日本、朝鲜及我国的东海、黄海和渤海。地方种群多,洄游范尉小,适应能力强,既是底栖生物食性,又可耐较低的温度,虽非名贵鱼种,却具有一定的经济价值,在开展近海增殖时,不存在越冬和效益外流问题。因此,早在60年代,日本山口县和大分县的学者们,便开始着手该品种的人工孵化和增殖放流试验。80年代初已达年放流2—3cm的稚鱼苗7.0×10~6尾的水平。为了在渤海开展增殖工作,建立综
