A procedure for the construction of linear restriction fragment maps of a 50- to 100-kb DNA.

A simple and effective procedure for the construction of linear restriction fragment maps was developed. Using a two-enzyme digestion, two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis procedure, all the restriction fragments in a 50- to 100-kb DNA can be individually resolved and displayed on a 2-D plane. This 2-D gel pattern, with appropriate markers, provides a fixed set of x, y coordinates for each fragment obtained from the single and double digestion as well as the relationship between the two steps. A matrix is constructed from the 2-D pattern. The vertical column shows all the singly digested individual fragments and their sizes obtained from each restriction enzyme treatment, and the dividing horizontal row shows all the doubly digested DNA fragments and their sizes after treatment with two enzymes. The order of arrangement is always from the smallest to the largest fragments. Using this matrix, two linear DNA restriction maps for these two enzymes can be simultaneously constructed in a self-reconfirming manner. As examples for this procedure, we describe the construction of two linear restriction fragment maps, a combination of EcoRI and BamHI digestion as well as a combination of EcoRI and HindIII digestion of lambda-phage DNA.

应用纯化的重组Epstein-Barr病毒早期抗原建立检测鼻咽癌病人血清IgA/EA抗体的ELISA方法

利用凝胶和离子交换柱(Mono Q)两次层析,将大肠杆菌表达的EB病毒早期抗原P138片段多肽纯化。以此P138为抗原,增加鼠抗人IgA单克隆抗体以扩大IgA的反应,建立了三步ELISA法。用本法检查了100例鼻咽癌病人和63例正常人血清中抗EB病毒IgA/EA抗体,病人血清的阳性检出率为86％,正常人有3例阳性(4.7％)。此结果表明,三步ELISA法较常用的间接ELISA法(阳性检出率为71％)敏感。     

外源脂肪酸及胆固醇对莱氏衣原体膜糖脂含量的影响

 <正> 单葡萄糖甘油二酯(MGDG)和双葡萄糖甘油二酯(DGDG)是莱氏衣原体膜上主要的极性脂。糖脂的生理功能过去很少研究,至今仍不清楚。近年来实验结果表明,MGDG在膜上容易形成六角形Ⅱ结构,而DGDG则形成脂双层结构。六角形Ⅱ结构的出现与生物膜的生理功能的关系是当前瞩目的研究内容。本文首次研究了外源脂肪酸和胆固酵对莱氏衣原体AIH089菌株膜上糖脂含量的影响。     

Genetic analysis of two tomato mutants affected in the regulation of iron metabolism

Iron is one of the most important micronutrients for plants. Like other organisms, plants have developed active mechanisms for the acquisition of sufficient iron from the soil. Nevertheless, very little is known about the genetic mechanisms that control the active uptake. In tomato, two spontaneously derived mutants are available, which are defective in key steps that control this process. The recessive mutationchloronerva (chln) affects a gene which controls the synthesis of the non-protein amino acid nicotianamine (NA), a key component in the iron physiology of plants. The root system of the recessive mutantfer is unable to induce any of the characteristic responses to iron deficiency and iron uptake is thus completely blocked. We present a characterization of the double mutant, showing that thefer gene is epistatic over thechln gene and thus very likely to be one of the major genetic elements controlling iron physiology in tomato. In order to gain access to these two genes at the molecular level, both mutants were precisely mapped onto the high density RFLP map of tomato. Thechln gene is located on chromosome 1 and thefer gene is on chromosome 6 of tomato. Using this high-resolution map, a chromosome walk has been started to isolate thefer gene by map-based cloning. The isolation of thefer gene will provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of iron uptake control in plants.
