Flow‐injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of chloramphenicol based on luminol–sodium periodate order‐transform second‐chemiluminescence reaction

A new chemiluminescence (CL) reaction was observed when chloramphenicol solution was injected into the mixture after the end of the reaction of alkaline luminol and sodium periodate or sodium periodate was injected into the reaction mixture of chloramphenicol and alkaline luminol. This reaction is described as an order‐transform second‐chemiluminescence (OTSCL) reaction. The OTSCL method combined with a flow‐injection technique was applied to the determination of chloramphenicol. The optimum conditions for the order‐transform second‐chemiluminescence emission were investigated. A mechanism for OTSCL has been proposed on the basis of the chemiluminescence kinetic characteristics, the UV‐visible spectra and the chemiluminescent spectra. Under optimal experimental conditions, the CL response is proportional to the concentration of chloramphenicol over the range 5.0 × 10^?7–5.0 × 10^?5 mol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9969 and a detection limit of 6.0 × 10^?8 mol/L (3σ). The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 11 repeated determinations of 5.0 × 10^?6 mol/L chloramphenicol is 1.7%. The method has been applied to the determination of chloramphenicol in pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Extracellular overexpression of recombinant <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thermobifida fusca</Emphasis> cutinase by alpha-hemolysin secretion system in <Emphasis Type="Italic">E. coli</Emphasis> BL21(DE3)

Background  

Extracellular expression of proteins has an absolute advantage in a large-scale industrial production. In our previous study, Thermobifida fusca cutinase, an enzyme mainly utilized in textile industry, was expressed via type II secretory system in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and it was found that parts of the expressed protein was accumulated in the periplasmic space. Due to the fact that alpha-hemolysin secretion system can export target proteins directly from cytoplasm across both cell membrane of E. coli to the culture medium, thus in the present study we investigated the expression of cutinase using this alpha-hemolysin secretion system.

Nanoflake‐Assembled Hierarchical Na3V2(PO4)3/C Microflowers: Superior Li Storage Performance and Insertion/Extraction Mechanism

Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (NVP) has excellent electrochemical stability and fast ion diffusion coefficient due to the 3D Na⁺ ion superionic conductor framework, which make it an attractive cathode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the electrochemical performance of NVP needs to be further improved for applications in electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Here, nanoflake‐assembled hierarchical NVP/C microflowers are synthesized using a facile method. The structure of as‐synthesized materials enhances the electrochemical performance by improving the electron conductivity, increasing electrode–electrolyte contact area, and shortening the diffusion distance. The as‐synthesized material exhibits a high capacity (230 mAh g^?1), excellent cycling stability (83.6% of the initial capacity is retained after 5000 cycles), and remarkable rate performance (91 C) in hybrid LIBs. Meanwhile, the hybrid LIBs with the structure of NVP || 1 m LiPF₆/EC (ethylene carbonate) + DMC (dimethyl carbonate) || NVP and Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ || 1 m LiPF₆/EC + DMC || NVP are assembled and display capacities of 79 and 73 mAh g^?1, respectively. The insertion/extraction mechanism of NVP is systematically investigated, based on in situ X‐ray diffraction. The superior electrochemical performance, the design of hybrid LIBs, and the insertion/extraction mechanism investigation will have profound implications for developing safe and stable, high‐energy, and high‐power LIBs.

The myocardial response to adrenomedullin involves increased cAMP generation as well as augmented Akt phosphorylation

In this work we aimed to observe (1) the changes in adrenomedullin (AM) and its receptor system - calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMPs) - in myocardial ischemic injury and (2) the response of injuried myocardia to AM and the phosphorylation of Akt to illustrate the protective mechanism of AM in ischemic myocardia. Male SD rats were subcutaneously injected with isoproterenol (ISO) to induce myocardial ischemia. The mRNA levels of AM, CRLR, RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3 were determined by RT-PCR. Protein levels of Akt, phosphor-Akt, CRLR, RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3 were assayed by Western blot. Results showed that, compared with that of the controls, ISO-treated rats showed lower cardiac function and myocardial injury. The mRNA relative amount of AM, CRLR, RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3 in the myocardia of ISO-treated rats was increased. The elevated mRNA levels of CRLR, RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3 were positively correlated with AM content in injured myocardia. The protein levels of CRLR, RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3 in injured myocardia were increased compared with that of control myocardia. AM-stimulated cAMP generation in myocardia was elevated in the ISO group, and was antagonized by AM(22-52) and CGRP(8-37). Western blot analyses revealed that AM significantly enhanced Akt phosphorylation in injured myocardia, which was blocked by pretreatment with AM(22-52) or CGRP(8-37). Ischemia-injured myocardia hyper-expressed AM and its receptors - CRLR, RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3 - and the response of ischemic myocardia to AM was potentiated, and the level of Akt phosphorylation was also increased, which suggests that changes in cardiac AM/AM receptor might play an important role in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemic injury.     

Golgi‐localized cation/proton exchangers regulate ionic homeostasis and skotomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis

Multiple transporters and channels mediate cation transport across the plasma membrane and tonoplast to regulate ionic homeostasis in plant cells. However, much less is known about the molecular function of transporters that facilitate cation transport in other organelles such as Golgi. We report here that Arabidopsis KEA4, KEA5, and KEA6, members of cation/proton antiporters‐2 (CPA2) superfamily were colocalized with the known Golgi marker, SYP32‐mCherry. Although single kea4,5,6 mutants showed similar phenotype as the wild type under various conditions, kea4/5/6 triple mutants showed hypersensitivity to low pH, high K⁺, and high Na⁺ and displayed growth defects in darkness, suggesting that these three KEA‐type transporters function redundantly in controlling etiolated seedling growth and ion homeostasis. Detailed analysis indicated that the kea4/5/6 triple mutant exhibited cell wall biosynthesis defect during the rapid etiolated seedling growth and under high K⁺/Na⁺ condition. The cell wall‐derived pectin homogalacturonan (GalA)₃ partially suppressed the growth defects and ionic toxicity in the kea4/5/6 triple mutants when grown in the dark but not in the light conditions. Together, these data support the hypothesis that the Golgi‐localized KEAs play key roles in the maintenance of ionic and pH homeostasis, thereby facilitating Golgi function in cell wall biosynthesis during rapid etiolated seedling growth and in coping with high K⁺/Na⁺ stress.     

Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii Virus and host: genomic characterization and ecological relevance

Cylindrospermopsis (Raphidiopsis) raciborskii is an invasive, filamentous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium that forms frequent blooms in freshwater habitats. While viruses play key roles in regulating the abundance, production and diversity of their hosts in aquatic ecosystems, the role(s) of viruses in the ecology of C. raciborskii is almost unexplored. Progress in this field has been hindered by the absence of a characterized virus–host system in C. raciborskii. To bridge this gap, we sequenced the genome of CrV-01T, a previously isolated cyanosiphovirus, and its host, C. raciborskii strain Cr2010. Analyses suggest that CrV-01T represents a distinct clade of siphoviruses infecting, and perhaps lysogenizing, filamentous cyanobacteria. Its genome contains unique features that include an intact CRISPR array and a 12 kb inverted duplication. Evidence suggests CrV-01T recently gained the ability to infect Cr2010 and recently lost the ability to form lysogens. The cyanobacterial host contains a CRISPR-Cas system with CRISPR spacers matching protospacers within the inverted duplication of the CrV-01T genome. Examination of metagenomes demonstrates that viruses with high genetic identity to CrV-01T, but lacking the inverted duplication, are present in C. raciborskii blooms in Australia. The unique genomic features of the CrV/Cr2010 system offers opportunities to investigate in more detail virus–host interactions in an ecologically important bloom-forming cyanobacterium.
