后河自然保护区珍稀濒危植物种群分布格局的分形特征：计盒维数

通过4种优势树种和7种珍稀树种种群的计盒维数来反映种群分布格局的分形特征．结果表明,4种优势种群的计盒维数在1．346-1．414之间,在历研究的整个常绿落叶阔叶混交林群落中占据了较大的生态空间;其中尖连蕊茶种群的计盒维数最大,占据最大的生态空间．而7种珍稀树种种群的计量续数除了金钱槭种群大于1之外,其余6个种群的计盒维数都小于1,说明它们占据生态空间的能力较小．并且这11个种群的拐点尺度都出现在5-12．5m之间．根据分形的自相似性,可以推断种群在大于拐点尺度的所有尺度上都为同一分布类型,并且在拐点前后种群的格局类型夏发生变化．种群分布格局的判定结果部分地验证了这一观点,11个物种中有5个物种的种群格局在拐点前后发生变化,另6种没有发生这种变化。     

Quorum Sensing System Used as a Tool in Metabolic Engineering

Quorum sensing (QS) is a ubiquitous cell–cell communication mechanism in microbes that coordinates population‐level cell behaviors, such as biofilm production, virulence, swarming motility, and bacterial persistence. Efforts to engineer QS systems to take part in metabolic network regulation represent a promising strategy for synthetic biology and pathway engineering. Recently, design, construction, and implementation of QS circuits for programmed control of bacterial phenotypes and metabolic pathways have gained much attention, but have not been reviewed recently. In this article, the architectural organizations and genetic contributions of the naturally occurring QS components to understand the mechanisms are summarized. Then, the most recent progress in application of QS toolkits to develop synthetic networks for novel cell behaviors creation and metabolic pathway engineering is highlighted. The current challenges in large‐scale application of these QS circuits in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering fields are discussed and future perspectives for further engineering efforts are provided.     

Phosphorylation on tyrosine-15 of p34(Cdc2) by ErbB2 inhibits p34(Cdc2) activation and is involved in resistance to taxol-induced apoptosis

ErbB2 overexpression confers resistance to taxol-induced apoptosis by inhibiting p34(Cdc2) activation. One mechanism is via ErbB2-mediated upregulation of p21(Cip1), which inhibits Cdc2. Here, we report that the inhibitory phosphorylation on Cdc2 tyrosine (Y)15 (Cdc2-Y15-p) is elevated in ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer cells and primary tumors. ErbB2 binds to and colocalizes with cyclin B-Cdc2 complexes and phosphorylates Cdc2-Y15. The ErbB2 kinase domain is sufficient to directly phosphorylate Cdc2-Y15. Increased Cdc2-Y15-p in ErbB2-overexpressing cells corresponds with delayed M phase entry. Expressing a nonphosphorylatable mutant of Cdc2 renders cells more sensitive to taxol-induced apoptosis. Thus, ErbB2 membrane RTK can confer resistance to taxol-induced apoptosis by directly phosphorylating Cdc2.     

祁连山西段草地土壤温度、水分变化特征

研究土壤水热要素对合理预测祁连山气候变化特征及建立气候预警系统有重要意义。采用18套土壤温、湿度自动记录仪(HOBOU30)对祁连山西段草地进行3a连续定位监测,旨在探索分析该区土壤水热变化特征,阐明土壤水热互作效应及耦合机制。表明:1)冷期(1—3、11—12月)占全年的42%,暖期(4—10月)占58%;7月前土壤均温随月份增大而增大,月份增大1月土壤均温增大3.53℃,水分增大3.23%;7月后随月份增大而减小,月份增大1月土壤均温降低4.73℃,水分下降2.55%。2)日变化16:00前土壤均温为7.45℃,水分为16.26%,16:00后均温为9.1℃,水分为16.79%,16:00后比前均温高1.65℃,水分高0.54%。3)土温、水分与海拔均呈线性正相关,前者差异显著(P0.05),后者不显著(P0.05)。4)土温逐层(0—120 cm)平均递增0.07℃,水分递减0.58%;土温与土层深度呈显著线性正相关(P0.05,R2=0.99),水分呈显著线性负相关(P0.05,R2=0.97)。5)该区土温与水分呈显著线性负相关。因此,祁连山西段草地土温变幅较小,水分变幅大,两者在空间上变化均呈二次函数,时间上均呈一次函数。     

Inhibition of Filamin-A Reduces Cancer Metastatic Potential

Filamin-A cross-links actin filaments into dynamic orthogonal networks, and interacts with an array of proteins of diverse cellular functions. Because several filamin-A interaction partners are implicated in signaling of cell mobility regulation, we tested the hypothesis that filamin-A plays a role in cancer metastasis. Using four pairs of filamin-A proficient and deficient isogenic cell lines, we found that filamin-A deficiency in cancer cells significantly reduces their migration and invasion. Using a xenograft tumor model with subcutaneous and intracardiac injections of tumor cells, we found that the filamin-A deficiency causes significant reduction of lung, splenic and systemic metastasis in nude mice. We evaluated the expression of filamin-A in breast cancer tissues by immunohistochemical staining, and found that low levels of filamin-A expression in cancer cells of the tumor tissues are associated with a better distant metastasis-free survival than those with normal levels of filamin-A. These data not only validate filamin-A as a prognostic marker for cancer metastasis, but also suggest that inhibition of filamin-A in cancer cells may reduce metastasis and that filamin-A can be used as a therapeutic target for filamin-A positive cancer.     

重金属镉、锌在菹草叶细胞中的超微定位观察

水环境污染中十分突出的是重金属的污染 ,主要来源为流入物、渗漏和大气沉降 (Ｌａｒｃｈｅｒ ,1995 )。由于重金属污染物不但不能被微生物所分解 ,而且能在生物体内富集 ,并通过水生食物链的生物放大作用而对高营养级的生物甚至人类造成危害 ,因此日益引起人们的特别关注。许多研究从超微结构损伤和生理生化的角度研究了重金属对植物的毒害机制。施国新等 (2 0 0 0 )观察了重金属汞、镉污染对水生植物黑藻叶细胞的超微结构损伤。彭鸣等 (1991)研究了重金属镉、铅诱导的玉米超微结构的变化。李荣春 (2 0 0 0 )研究了Ｃｄ、Ｐｂ及其复合污染…
