周口店地区仓鼠材料的重新观察

经重新鉴定,周口店地区第四纪期间共有4属7种仓鼠,包括大型种类Allocricetus ehiki、A. teilhardi sp. nov. 及Cricetinus varians和小型种类Cricetulus longicaudatus, C. barabensis griseus, C. b. obscurus, C. cf. migratorius, Phodopus sp.其中A. ehiki-A. teilhardi sp. nov.,C. varians-现生种“C.”triton及小型仓鼠可能分别和中国新第三纪晚期的Sinocricetus, Kowalskia等有较密切的亲缘关系。     

科氏仓鼠(Kowalskia)一新种

山东沂南马牧池区双泉西山红棕色角砾岩层中的Kowalskia yinanensis sp.nov.头骨和下颌是该属迄今所发现的最完整的材料。这种仓鼠大小接近波兰晚上新世的K.magna,具有和Cricetinua varians相似性状的头骨及下颌。臼齿尖(嵴)发育程度较捷克最晚上新世的K.intermedia稍原始,时代上大致可与之相对比。     

The beta subunit of tomato fruit polygalacturonase isoenzyme 1: isolation, characterization, and identification of unique structural features.

We have purified and isolated cDNAs encoding the beta subunit of tomato fruit polygalacturonase isoenzyme 1 (PG1), a cell wall protein that associates with, and apparently regulates, the catalytic PG2 polypeptides. Expression of the beta subunit is fruit specific and temporally separated from the expression of PG2 during fruit development. The 37- to 39-kD beta subunit is encoded as a 69-kD precursor protein containing a signal sequence and two propeptide domains. The mature protein is composed almost entirely of the novel 14-amino acid motif FTNYGxxGNGGxxx in which many of the phenylalanine residues are post-translationally modified. The unique structural features of the motif suggest an important role in the function of the protein and hence in the activity of PG1. The beta subunit may represent a class of bifunctional plant proteins that interact both with structural components of the cell wall and catalytic proteins to localize and/or regulate metabolic activities within the cell wall.     

Mitotic arrest and enhanced nuclear protein phosphorylation in human leukemia K562 cells by okadaic acid, a potent protein phosphatase inhibitor and tumor promoter.

We investigated the effects of the non-phorbol tumor promoter okadaic acid on human leukemia K562 cells. It was found that okadaic acid potently and reversibly inhibited cell growth, with a nearly complete inhibition of thymidine uptake seen at about 10 nM. The cytotoxicity of okadaic acid was characterized by a marked mitotic arrest of the cells exhibiting scattered chromosomes and abnormal anaphase-like structures, a phenomenon distinct from the typical metaphase arrest caused by colchicine. Okadaic acid (10-1,000 nM) greatly stimulated phosphorylation of a number of nuclear proteins in K562 cells. Phosphorylation of many of the same proteins was also stimulated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-O-acetate, a protein kinase C activator. The present findings, consistent with recent reports that okadaic acid is a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1 and PP2A) shown to be essential for normal mitosis, provided evidence for the first time that okadaic acid inhibition of PP1/PP2A resulted in enhanced nuclear protein phosphorylation and subsequent mitotic arrest.     

Tyr60 variants of Flp recombinase generate conformationally altered protein-DNA complexes. Differential activity in full-site and half-site recombinations

The tyrosine at position 60 of the Flp recombinase of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasmid, 2 mu circle, is invariant among site-specific recombinases of the "yeast plasmid family". Alterations of this residue give rise to Flp variants that show no recombination activity when assayed in vivo in Escherichia coli. Upon purification, they bind substrate, execute DNA cleavage and catalyze recombination. The efficiency of strand cleavage follows the order: Flp(Y60F) greater than Flp greater than Flp(Y60S) greater than Flp(Y60D); efficiency of recombination between Flp sites on a linear substrate and a circular one follows the order: Flp greater than Flp(Y60F) greater than Flp(Y60S) greater than Flp(Y60D). Methylation footprints of the DNA-protein complexes formed by two of the Flp variants, Flp(Y60S) and Flp(Y60D), do not show hypermethylation of the G residues within the substrate core that is characteristic of complexes formed by wild-type Flp. The third variant, Flp(Y60F), causes significant distortion (although less than wild-type Flp) of the substrate core, as indicated by enhanced G-methylation. Binding profiles with circularly permuted substrates indicate that Flp(Y60S) and Flp(Y60D), but not Flp(Y60F), are defective in bending substrate DNA. In recombination between two Flp half-sites, the variant proteins are significantly more active than in normal full-site recombination.     

蜀龙头骨及脑颅的解剖

本文对蜥脚类蜀龙(Shunosaurus)的脑颅分别从其头骨特征、脑垂体、耳区、视觉系统、脑神经等诸方面进行了较为详细的解剖研究,结果表明 Shunosaurus 内颈动脉不分叉;基蝶骨突强烈收缩;外淋巴囊出现在中耳及 IX、X、XI 孔与颈静脉孔内分外合等现象十分独特.因此,Shunosaurus 应视为一种特化的原始蜥脚类.

甲肝病毒在人血白细胞中体外连续传代和在分类白细胞中增殖的研究

1985年我们采用间接免疫荧光法(IF法)检测出甲肝患者外周血白细胞中有甲肝抗原(HAAg)存在,继而又将HAAg阳性白细胞直接种入PLC/PRF/5细胞,分离到两株甲肝病毒(HAV)NJ—3株和H—1株。为了弄清白细胞所携带的病毒究竟仅为吸附吞饮,抑或能在其中复制增殖,我们将分离到的HAV用正常人血白细胞进行体外增殖试验,现将结果报告如下。
