傣族“龙山”是西双版纳地区傣族的民族植物文化中的一例。其概念是“神居住的地方”,在这个地方的动植物都是神的家园里的生灵,是神的伴侣,是不能砍伐、狩猎和破坏的。人     

Cross-linking of rabbit skeletal muscle troponin subunits: labeling of cysteine-98 of troponin C with 4-maleimidobenzophenone and analysis of products formed in the binary complex with troponin T and the ternary complex with troponins I and T

The sulfhydryl-specific, heterobifunctional, photoactivatable cross-linker 4-maleimidobenzophenone (BPMal) was used to study the interaction of rabbit skeletal muscle troponin subunits TnC, TnT, and TnI. TnC was labeled at Cys-98 by the maleimide moiety of BPMal and then mixed with either TnT alone or TnI plus TnT, in the presence of Ca2+. Upon photolysis, TnI and/or TnT formed covalent cross-links with TnC. The cross-linked TnC-TnT heterodimer obtained from the binary complex was digested into progressively smaller cross-linked peptides that were purified by HPLC and then characterized by amino acid analysis and sequencing. An initial cross-linked CNBr fraction contained the expected peptide CB9 (residues 84-135) of TnC, plus CNBr peptides spanning residues 152-230 of TnT. Results from a peptic digest of the CNBr cross-linked fraction permitted the identification of residues 159-197 as the most highly cross-linked region in TnT. A final subtilisin digest yielded a heterogeneous cross-linked fraction, which suggested that an especially high degree of cross-links was formed in the vicinity of residues 175-178 (Met-Lys-Lys-Lys) of TnT. Although this region of TnT had previously been implicated in binding, we show here for the first time that it is close to Cys-98 of TnC. In an analogous study on the binary complex of TnC and TnI [Leszyk, J., Collins, J. H., Leavis, P. C., & Tao, T. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 7042-7047], we previously showed that Cys-98 of TnC was cross-linked mainly to CN4, the "inhibitory region", of TnI.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Phosphorylation of ankyrin decreases its affinity for spectrin tetramer

The effects of phosphorylation on the interaction between spectrin and ankyrin were investigated. Spectrin and ankyrin were phosphorylated using purified human erythrocyte membrane and cytosolic (casein kinase A) kinases. These two kinases have similar properties as well as activities toward spectrin and ankyrin. Both kinases catalyzed the incorporation of about 2 mol of phosphate/mol of spectrin and about 7 mol of phosphate/mol of ankyrin. These phosphates were incorporated primarily into seryl and threonyl residues of the proteins. The phosphopeptide maps of ankyrin phosphorylated by the membrane kinase and casein kinase A were identical. Binding studies indicate that ankyrin exhibits different affinities for spectrin dimers (KD = 2.5 +/- 0.9 X 10(-6) M) and tetramers (KD = 2.7 +/- 0.8 X 10(-7) M). These dissociation constants were not appreciably affected by the phosphorylation of spectrin. On the other hand, phosphorylation of ankyrin was found to significantly reduce its affinity for either phosphorylated or unphosphorylated spectrin tetramers (KD = 1.2 +/- 0.1 X 10(-6) M) but not spectrin dimers (KD = 2.5 +/- 0.4 X 10(-6) M). The same results were obtained using either the membrane kinase or casein kinase A as the phosphorylating enzyme. The above observation suggests that ankyrin phosphorylation may provide an important mechanism for the regulation of the erythrocyte membrane cytoskeletal network.     

元江干热河谷山地五百年来植被变迁探讨

元江河谷是云南省最干热地区之一,在海拔800—900米以下的山地上广泛分布着稀树灌草丛。根据《元江府志》(1714年编纂)、《元江州志》(1826年编纂)、《元江志稿》(1922年编篡)及对现存植被的考察,本文探讨了元江干热河谷山地五百年来植被的变迁。 元江县森林复盖率的减少与人口的增加有密切关系,十七世纪中期以前,森林复盖率在75％以上,十八、十九世纪时为70％左右,1958年为61.5％,1975年为27.3％,至1982年则为19.3％。研究表明,在十九世纪以前,这个地区分布的主要植被是热带季雨林,甚而热带季节雨林,以后热带稀树灌草丛则迅速发展。植被的历史变化与土壤流失密切相关。植物群落的演变是由以乔木树种为优势演变为以灌木种类为优势,再演变为以多年生草木植物为优势,而最后则成为裸地。本文也讨论了这个地区植被恢复的方法。     

流行性成人腹泻病人排出成人腹泻轮状病毒的持续时间

成人腹泻轮状病毒(Adult Diarrhoea Rotavirus,简称ADRV)是引起青壮年急性胃肠炎的主要病原之一,1983年至1985年在我国许多地区暴发流行,严重危害着人民健康,至今尚无治疗药物。因此,摸清病人排病毒情况或规律,对及时控制传染源,预防ADRV大量传播有着重要意义。现将本文实验结果报告如下。
