Temperature-Triggered Enzyme Immobilization and Release Based on Cross-Linked Gelatin Nanoparticles

A glucoamylase-immobilized system based on cross-linked gelatin nanoparticles (CLGNs) was prepared by coacervation method. This system exhibited characteristics of temperature-triggered phase transition, which could be used for enzyme immobilization and release. Their morphology and size distribution were examined by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer. Their temperature-triggered glucoamylase immobilization and release features were also further investigated under different temperatures. Results showed that the CLGNs were regularly spherical with diameters of 155±5 nm. The loading efficiencies of glucoamylase immobilized by entrapment and adsorption methods were 59.9% and 24.7%, respectively. The immobilized enzyme was released when the system temperature was above 40°C and performed high activity similar to free enzyme due to the optimum temperature range for glucoamylase. On the other hand, there was no enzyme release that could be found when the system temperature was below 40°C. The efficiency of temperature-triggered release was as high as 99.3% for adsorption method, while the release of enzyme from the entrapment method was not detected. These results indicate that CLGNs are promising matrix for temperature-triggered glucoamylase immobilization and release by adsorption immobilization method.     

Isolation and comparative expression analysis of six MBD genes in wheat

The 5-methylcytosines (m5C) play critical roles in epigenetic control, often being recognized by proteins containing an MBD. In this study, we isolated six wheat cDNAs with open reading frame encoding putative methyl-binding domain proteins, which were designated as TaMBD1-TaMBD6, respectively. BLASTX searches and phylogenetic analysis suggested that the six TaMBD genes belonged to four (I, II, III and VIII) of the eight subclasses of MBD family. Genomic analysis showed that a 1386 bp intron was included in TaMBD1 and a 12-bp intron was found in TaMBD4. The expression profiles of the six TaMBDs were studied via Q-RT-PCR and the results indicated that the TaMBDs were differentially expressed in detected wheat tissues. It was interesting to note that 3 TaMBDs were highly expressed in dry seeds and endosperms. Moreover, the differential expression patterns of TaMBDs were observed in leaves and roots under water-stress. We concluded that multiple wheat MBD genes were present and they might play important roles in wheat growth and development, as well as in the water-stress response.

Relationships between p14ARF Gene Methylation and Clinicopathological Features of Colorectal Cancer: A Meta-Analysis

We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the relationships between p14^ARF gene methylation and clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer (CRC). Databases, including Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane Library, were searched and, finally, a total of 18 eligible researches encompassing 1988 CRC patients were selected. Combined odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were evaluated under a fixed effects model for absence of heterogeneity. Significant associations were observed between p14^ARF gene methylation and tumor location (OR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.55–3.55, P = 0.001), microsatellite instability (MSI) status (OR = 3.28, 95% CI: 2.12–5.07, P<0.0001). However, there were no significant associations between p14^ARF gene methylation and tumor stage, tumor differentiation. We concluded that p14^ARF gene methylation may be significantly associated with tumor location, and MSI status of CRC.
