三酶级联催化L-苏氨酸生产L-2-氨基丁酸

L-2-氨基丁酸(L-ABA)是一种重要的化工原材料和手性医药中间体,为了实现L-ABA的高效生产,本研究在大肠杆菌EscherichiacoliBL21(DE3)中分别表达大肠杆菌来源的苏氨酸脱氨酶(Threonine deaminase,TD)、苏云金芽孢杆菌来源的亮氨酸脱氢酶(Leucine dehydrogenase,LDH)和博伊丁假丝酵母来源的甲酸脱氢酶(Formatedehydrogenase,FDH),构建体外级联酶催化反应实现L-苏氨酸向L-ABA的转化,体系中TD、LDH和FDH添加最适比例为1∶1∶0.2。为了简化生产工艺,将3种酶在一株菌E. coli 3FT+L中共表达并实现上述配比,在30 L发酵罐中用E. coli 3FT+L全细胞转化12 h,L-ABA的产量为68.5 g/L,底物L-苏氨酸的摩尔转化率达到99.0%。该工艺路线绿色高效,为未来大规模生产L-ABA提供借鉴。

Fifteen Novel EIF2B1-5 Mutations Identified in Chinese Children with Leukoencephalopathy with Vanishing White Matter and a Long Term Follow-Up

Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) is one of the most prevalent inherited childhood white matter disorders, which caused by mutations in each of the five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B1-5). In our study, 34 out of the 36 clinically diagnosed children (94%) were identified to have EIF2B1-5 mutations by sequencing. 15 novel mutations were identified. CNVs were not detected in patients with only one mutant allele and mutation-negative determined by gene sequencing. There is a significantly higher incidence of patients with EIF2B3 mutations compared with Caucasian patients (32% vs. 4%). c.1037T>C (p.Ile346Thr) in EIF2B3 was confirmed to be a founder mutation in Chinese, which probably one of the causes of the genotypic differences between ethnicities. Our average 4.4 years-follow-up on infantile, early childhood and juvenile VWM children suggested a rapid deterioration in motor function. Episodic aggravation was presented in 90% of infantile cases and 71.4% of childhood cases. 10 patients died during the follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the median survival time is 8.83 ± 1.51 years. This is the largest sample of children in a VWM follow-up study, which is helpful for a more depth understanding about the natural course.     

Genome‐wide identification and analysis of heterotic loci in three maize hybrids

Heterosis, or hybrid vigour, is a predominant phenomenon in plant genetics, serving as the basis of crop hybrid breeding, but the causative loci and genes underlying heterosis remain unclear in many crops. Here, we present a large‐scale genetic analysis using 5360 offsprings from three elite maize hybrids, which identifies 628 loci underlying 19 yield‐related traits with relatively high mapping resolutions. Heterotic pattern investigations of the 628 loci show that numerous loci, mostly with complete–incomplete dominance (the major one) or overdominance effects (the secondary one) for heterozygous genotypes and nearly equal proportion of advantageous alleles from both parental lines, are the major causes of strong heterosis in these hybrids. Follow‐up studies for 17 heterotic loci in an independent experiment using 2225 F₂ individuals suggest most heterotic effects are roughly stable between environments with a small variation. Candidate gene analysis for one major heterotic locus (ub3) in maize implies that there may exist some common genes contributing to crop heterosis. These results provide a community resource for genetics studies in maize and new implications for heterosis in plants.     

NEAT1通过PI3K/AKT/Bcl-2信号通路抑制骨质疏松

为探讨NEAT1在骨质疏松症中的作用以及可能的病理机制,本研究通过建立卵巢去势和鼠尾悬挂2种骨质疏松的小鼠模型,将C57BL/6分为假手术组(Sham组)、OVX组和TS组;经过PCR测定小鼠NEAT1的表达;Elisa法检测小鼠E2、ALP和TRACP水平;Western blotting检测细胞凋亡因子PI3K/AKT/Bcl-2的蛋白水平。结果显示,建模4周后,3组小鼠体重没有显著变化;与Sham组相比,OVX组和TS组小鼠的骨密度值显著降低,骨生化指标ALP和TRACR水平明显升高;OVX组小鼠的E2水平与Sham组相比明显降低;与Sham组相比,OVX组和TS组小鼠的NEAT1表达显著下调;与Sham组相比,OVX组和TS组小鼠p-AKT和Bcl-2蛋白水平明显降低。本研究结果表明,NEAT1可能通过抑制PI3K/AKT/Bcl-2细胞凋亡途径诱导骨质疏松。
