罗汉果胚、胚乳及胚乳吸器的发育

本文采用石蜡切片与酶解分离法对罗汉果Ｓｉｒａｉｔｉａｇｒｏｓｖｅｎｏｒｉ胚、胚乳及胚乳吸器的发育过程进行观察．ａ）罗汉果胚的发育是按Ｇｅｕｍｕｒｂａｎｕｍ的分裂程序进行的．属紫菀型．但在合子分裂成球胚过程中,胚芽原细胞分化明显．故属紫菀型的变异型。ｂ）胚乳发育属核型．在球形胚阶段,在合点端和珠孔端有发育的胚乳吸器形成并进行旺盛生长,最大长度达１４２０μｍ,心形胚期．吸器活动开始减退,合点端核型胚乳吸器转变成细胞型．由胚乳本体基部膨大细胞．充当补助吸器．ｃ）酶解分离法研究胚乳吸器的发生发育有较好的应用前景。     

罗汉果双受精过程的细胞学观察

罗汉果（Ｓｉｒａｉｔｉａｇｒｏｓｖｅｎｏｒｉ（Ｓｗｉｎｇｌｅ）Ｃ．Ｊｅｍｅｙ）双受精过程属有丝分裂前配子融合类型,授粉后２４～４８ｈ,花粉管进入胚囊,穿过一个助细胞,放出两个精子。雌雄核融合和雄核与次生核融合同时发生在授粉后６２～７２,雄核与次生核融合速度快于配子融合,７２ｈ后即可见到初生胚乳核分裂。合子中的雌雄核仁在授粉后第５～６ｄ融合,授粉后８～９ｄ合成分裂形成二细胞胚。在双受精过程中,多次观察到有多条花粉管进入胚囊和多精入极核现象。原胚期有附加花粉管从珠孔进入。

The NSR1 gene encodes a protein that specifically binds nuclear localization sequences and has two RNA recognition motifs

We previously identified a protein (p67) in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that specifically recognizes nuclear localization sequences. We report here the partial purification of p67, and the isolation, sequencing, and disruption of the gene (NSR1) encoding this protein. p67 was purified using an affinity column conjugated with a peptide containing the histone H2B nuclear localization sequence from yeast. Using antibodies against p67 we have cloned the gene for this protein. The protein encoded by the NSR1 gene recognizes the wild-type H2B nuclear localization sequence, but does not recognize a mutant H2B sequence that is incompetent for nuclear localization in vivo. Interestingly, the NSR1 protein has two RNA recognition motifs, as well as an acidic NH2 terminus containing a series of serine clusters, and a basic COOH terminus containing arg-gly repeats. We have confirmed the nuclear localization of p67 by immunofluorescence and found that a restricted portion of the nucleus is highlighted. We have also shown that NSR1 (p67) is required for normal cell growth.     

转移及非转移肿瘤移植后615小鼠血液流变学变化的研究

血道高转移瘤株FC、淋巴合并血道高转移瘤株U14、淋巴道高转移瘤株H22、非转移瘤株P615分别接种于336只纯系近交615小鼠.不同时间取血并处死动物,进行组织学及血液流变学检查.将转移瘤发展过程分为潜伏期、侵袭期、转移早、中、晚期,非转移瘤发展过程分为潜优期、增殖期、囊腔形成期及中心坏死期.本实验结果显示,不同转移能力及途径肿瘤发展的不同时期血液流变学变化规律不同,因而表明肿瘤侵袭、转移与血液流变学变化之间存在互为因果的紧密关系.其临床诊断及治疗意义被讨论.     

Triterpenoid saponins from Clinopodium polycephalum.

A new triterpenoid saponin, clinopodiside A, has been isolated from Clinopodium polycephalum. Its structure was established by spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction analysis as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1----6)-[ beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1----4)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-olean-11,13(18)-diene-3 beta,16 beta, 23,28-tetrol.     

Total in vitro maturation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae a-factor lipopeptide mating pheromone

The a-factor mating pheromone, produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae a haploid cells, is post-translationally modified in a manner analogous to that of the ras proto-oncogene product. A consensus C-terminal amino acid sequence, -CAAX (C is cysteine, A is aliphatic amino acid, and X is any amino acid), is the target of these modifications, which include isoprenylation (essential for Ras function), proteolysis of the -AAX sequence, and carboxy methyl esterification. Recently, the RAM/DPR1 gene product was shown to be a component of the activity responsible for isoprenylation of both Ras and a-factor. In this report, we present an in vitro assay which not only detects a-factor isoprenylation, but also proteolysis and carboxy methyl esterification, and directly demonstrates, biochemically, the order of these processing events. This a-factor maturation assay may prove useful for screening agents which block any of the steps involved in the post-translational modification of the a-factor and Ras -CAAX sequences. Such agents would be potential anti-Ras-related cancer therapeutic drugs.     

db—cAMP对转化细胞钙调素基因表达与细胞骨架的影响

We have demonstrated that the distribution of microtubules (MT), microfilaments (MF) and fibronectin (FN) were diminished, while the gene expression of the calmodulin and c-fos enhanced in the transformed C3 H10 T1/2 cells. After treatment with 1 mM db-cAMP for 1 hr. and 2 hrs., there was an early and rapidly reduced in gene expression of calmodulin and c-fos respectively. After db-cAMP treatment for 4-5 days, the number of Capping cells of ConA binding decreased significantly and the cell surface microvilli decreased also. The growth of treated cells was inhibited markedly. By using 4F1 cDNA probe, which is preferentially expressed in G1 phase, we have found that the db-cAMP treated cells were accumulated at G1 phase. Of particular interest is the fact that the distribution of microtubules, microfilaments and fibronectin were recovered after treatment with 1 mM db-cAMP for 6 days. It is suggested that the inhibition of proliferation, alteration of phenotype and recovery of cytoskeleton in transformed cells after treatment with db-cAMP are related to the inhibition of gene expression of calmodulin.     

Fractionation and quantitation of egg antigens from Schistosoma japonicum by the single-tube kinetic-dependent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (k-ELISA): higher antigenic activity in urea-soluble than in aqueous-soluble fractions

To identify sources of high potency antigens for use in serodiagnosis, aqueous-soluble egg antigens from Schistosoma japonicum were extracted with Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline. Residual particulates were solubilized with Tris-buffered 8 M urea, yielding a urea-soluble egg antigen fraction. The urea-soluble fraction was further fractionated with Bio Gel A50m and QAE-Sephadex. All fractions were quantitatively assayed for their specific antigenic activities against serum specimens from infected rabbits by the single-tube enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (k-ELISA). In antigen rate-limiting conditions, the urea-soluble particulate fractions were more antigenically active than the aqueous-soluble fraction. In antigen-excess and antibody-limiting assay conditions, the ideal conditions for serologic assays, the urea-derived antigens also showed superior activities against sera from infected humans. Analysis by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) on gradient gels revealed numerous low molecular weight protein bands in the aqueous-soluble fraction, whereas the urea-soluble fractions appeared to be much simpler with the majority of their proteins concentrated in one or two high molecular weight bands (greater than or equal to 200 kdaltons). Electro-transfer blots of the SDS-PAGE onto nitrocellulose papers and subsequent visualization of antigens by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbence confirmed these findings. The above data suggest that the urea-soluble fraction of S. japonicum eggs is antigenically active and has potential use in the development of a diagnostic reagent.     

米槁幼苗光合作用及光响应曲线模拟对干旱胁迫的响应

为阐明米槁光合作用对干旱胁迫的响应规律与适应机制,以一年生米槁幼苗为研究对象,进行盆栽试验研究设置3种不同土壤含水量梯度,利用Li-6400便携式光合作用系统测定干旱胁迫下的光合生理指标及光响应过程,光响应曲线模拟采用直角双曲线模型、非直角双曲线模型、指数模型和直角双曲线修正模型进行拟合并对比,以期选出适用于干旱环境下的光响应模型。结果表明(1)光响应曲线模型对干旱胁迫下米槁幼苗的光合作用拟合中直角双曲线、非直角双曲线和指数模型适用于低光合有效辐射(PAR),但拟合光响应参数与实测值相差大,只有直角双曲线修正模型能够很好的拟合各个处理且拟合参数比较精确米槁幼苗。(2)光合作用的表观量子效率(Φ)小于一般植物的光合量子效率,则其对弱光的光能利用效率相对较低。(3)在较强的光合有效辐射条件下,严重干旱胁迫下的米槁净光合速率P_n显著下降,出现了明显的光抑制现象;中度胁迫下净光合速率(P_n)、最大净光合速率(P_(nmax))、光补偿点(LSP)最大,米槁具有较宽的抗旱适应范围,有一定的抗旱性;严重胁迫下P_n、P_(nmax)、LSP降低,蒸腾速率(T_r)与气孔导度(G_s)下降幅度更大,但仍具有较高的水分利用效率(WUE),米槁在严重的干旱胁迫下光合机构受到一定的损伤,但自身可以通过生理调节来积极适应不良环境,减少光合机构伤害。(4)综合来看,在人工管理或种植米槁时,为了适应米槁生长发育,建议土壤含水量保持在23.05%到14.92%之间。
