基于Landsat的重庆市生态环境质量动态监测及其时空格局演变分析

长江流域是我国重要的生态屏障之一,重庆市作为长江上游最后一道关口,研究其生态质量发展对于有效保护长江流域生态环境具有重要指导意义。基于2011—2021年间的Landsat影像等数据,计算遥感生态指数(Remote sensing based ecological index, RSEI),并采用Sen(Theil-Sen median)趋势分析法和MK(Mann-Kendall)检验研究其变化趋势以及利用Hurst指数模型分析RSEI的持续特征。利用空间转移矩阵和重心迁移模型研究其在空间上分布特征的变化情况,最后使用降水、风速、近地表气温、海拔等辅助数据为影响因素,结合地理探测器进一步探究RSEI变化驱动力,探讨重庆市2011—2021的RSEI空间分布及演变趋势。结果表明：(1)重庆市多年平均RSEI为0.593,使用等间距法将其划分的等级为差、较差、中等、良、优的面积占比分别为2.48%、8.28%、38.32%、41,87%、9.05%。从整体来看重庆市生态质量水平较高,重庆市年际RSEI以显著趋势波动增长。(2)RSEI等级为差的地区空间上主要集中于重庆西部;较差等级主要围绕...

microRNA(miRNA)是一类重要的非编码小分子RNA,广泛参与植物生长发育和胁迫响应的调控。毛果杨MIR171基因家族是一个古老的miRNA基因家族,具有14个成员。本研究对毛果杨MIR171基因家族的基因倍增模式、表达方式、启动子结构及靶基因进行了分析。结果表明:毛果杨MIR171基因家族主要通过48~54百万年前的染色体大片段重复进行扩张,其表达方式和功能已经出现分化。MIR171基因家族可能主要通过调控GRAS转录因子和信号转导蛋白参与杨树生长发育、光信号转导和光形态建成的调控。     

Refolding and purification of recombinant human (Pro)renin receptor from Escherichia coli by ion exchange chromatography

Purification of the recombinant human renin receptor (rhRnR) is a major aspect of its biological or biophysical analysis, as well as structural research. A simple and efficient method for the refolding and purification of rhRnR expressed in Escherichia coli with weak anion‐exchange chromatography (WAX) was presented in this work. The solution containing denatured rhRnR in 8.0 mol/L urea extracted from the inclusion bodies was directly injected into the WAX column. The aggregation was prevented and the soluble form of renatured rhRnR in aqueous solution was obtained after desorption from the column. Effects of the extracting solutions, the pH values and urea concentrations in the mobile phase, as well as the sample size on the refolding and purification of rhRnR were investigated, indicating that the above mentioned factors had remarkable influences on the efficiency of refolding, purification and mass recovery of rhRnR. Under the optimal conditions, rhRnR was successfully refolded and purified simultaneously by WAX in one step within only 30 min. The result was satisfactory with mass recovery of 71.8% and purity of 94.8%, which was further tested by western blotting. The specific binding of the purified rhRnR to recombinant human renin was also determined using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The association constant of rhRnR to recombinant human renin was calculated to be 3.25 × 10⁸ L/mol, which demonstrated that rhRnR was already renatured and simultaneously purified in one step using WAX. All of the above demonstrate that protein folding liquid chromatography (PFLC) should be a powerful tool for the purification and renaturation of rhRnR. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Serotonin modulates circadian entrainment in Drosophila

Entrainment of the Drosophila circadian clock to light involves the light-induced degradation of the clock protein timeless (TIM). We show here that this entrainment mechanism is inhibited by serotonin, acting through the Drosophila serotonin receptor 1B (d5-HT1B). d5-HT1B is expressed in clock neurons, and alterations of its levels affect molecular and behavioral responses of the clock to light. Effects of d5-HT1B are synergistic with a mutation in the circadian photoreceptor cryptochrome (CRY) and are mediated by SHAGGY (SGG), Drosophila glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta), which phosphorylates TIM. Levels of serotonin are decreased in flies maintained in extended constant darkness, suggesting that modulation of the clock by serotonin may vary under different environmental conditions. These data identify a molecular connection between serotonin signaling and the central clock component TIM and suggest a homeostatic mechanism for the regulation of circadian photosensitivity in Drosophila.     

合浦县野生稻资源现状调查及保护对策

本文报道了合浦县普通野生稻(Oryza rufipogon)资源调查收集结果、地理分布现状与濒危原因.考察发现野生稻原生地新分布点1个,面积约133.34m2.现存原记载野生稻原生地分布点9个仅占25.0%,分布范围在109°13'～109°45'E、21°36'～21°52'N.考察发现合浦县野生稻原生地破坏十分严重,已毁灭的原生地占原记载的75.0%.造成野生稻濒危的主要原因是人们的各种活动,包括城镇扩大、修公路、农业开垦、过度放牧、环境污染、外来物种侵蚀等.针对合浦县野生稻现状,本文提出采用异位保存与原位保存相结合的保护对策.     

人SATB1基 5'上游序列的转录激活功能分析

在对人SATB1基因进行生物信息学分析的基础上,采用PCR技术,扩增人基因组DNA中SATB1基因5'上游序列的-2955～-9片段,构建了3个分别由SATB1基因5'上游-2955～-9,-1727～-9和-760～-9序列片段驱动的报告载体-pGL3-SP2946-luc,pGL3-SP1718-luc和pGL3-SP751-luc,分别瞬时转染Jurkat T,K562,U937和HeLa细胞,通过测定荧光素酶的表达活性,观察SATB1基因5'上游序列片段3个删除突变体在不同细胞内活性的差异.结果显示,SATB1上游序列-2955/-9在4种细胞中的转录激活能力为U937>Jurkat T>K562,在HeLa细胞中基本无激活,提示SATB1的转录激活可能具有一定的细胞类型特异性.3种5'删除突变体转录激活性由大至小顺序为-760/-9>-2955/-9>-1727/-9,提示SATB1的核心启动子可能存在于其5'上游序列的-760至-9 bp区域中.
