水稻蜡质基因5＇上游区缺失对基因表达的影响

为研究水稻蜡质基因（ｗａｘｙ）５＇上游调控区中存在的顺式作用元件,我们将水稻ｗａｘｙ基因翻译起始声、（ＡＴＧ）５＇上游３．４ｋｂ（－２１１８～＋１２９１ｂＰ）片段经外切核酸酶ＥｘｏⅢ部分酶解,得到一系列５＇端缺失的片段。将这些缺失片段分别与ｇｕｓ基因编码区连接,构建成融合质粒,经ＰＥＧ介导引入水稻原生质体,２６℃培养４８ｈ后,定量测定ＧＵＳ酶活力,并以同时导入的由３５Ｓ启动子指导的荧光素酶（ＬＵＣ）基因表达的酶活力作为内对照。结果表明,ＧＵＳ酶活性随５’上游调控区长度的减少而逐渐减弱。由─８６１ｂｐ缺失至─６４０ｂＰ时,ｇｕｓ基因表达水平有较明显的降低,推测在该区域中可能存在一个顺式作用元件区。     

小牛类表皮生长因子活性肽（c－EGF）的分离纯化及性质

本文报道小牛颌下腺通过酸抽提、ＣＭ５２、ＤＥ５２柱层析、ＳｅｐｈａｄｅｘＧ７５凝胶过滤及ＨＰＬＣ等步,分离纯化到一个分子量为６ｋＤ,等电点为４．６的小肽。该小肽类似人重组表皮生长因子（ｒｈ—ＥＧＦ）的生物活性,具有刺激ＮＲＫ细胞的增殖及刺激新生小鼠的睁眼、萌牙,并具有增加Ａ４３１细胞膜蛋白质磷酸化的功能。氨基酸组成缺少苯丙氨酸及苏氨酸残基。我们命名它为小牛类ＥＧＦ样活性肽（ｃａｌｆＥＧＦ－ｌｉｋｅａｃｔｉｖｅｐｅｐｔｉｄｅ,简称ｃ－ＥＧＦ）。     

Active expression of Gγ globin gene on chromosome 11 with Yunnanese (Ayγδβ)~0-thalasseinia deletion in MEL cells

A permanent lymphocyte cell line of a heterozygote with Yunnanese (Aγδβ)0-thalassemia deletion, associated with an increased production of Cry globin in adult, was founded using Epstein-Barr virus transformation. The hybrids of the lymphocyte cell and mouse erythroleukemia cell (MEL) were achieved and the hybrids containing human chromosome 11 were selected with the monoclonal antibody 53/6. The subclones containing only either the normal or the abnormal human chromosome 11 were separated and the expression of the human globin genes was studied. Expression of the β-globin gene, but not the Cγ and Aγ, was observed in the hybrids containing only the normal human chromosome 11, while active expression of the Cγ globin gene was observed in the hybrids containing only the abnormal human chromosome 11. These results have confirmed that the DNA deletion in the β-globin gene cluster is the cause of persistent active expression of the Cγ globin gene in the Yunnanese mutant.     

慢性心功能不全大鼠心脏和血淋巴细胞β-肾上腺素受体的改变

在主动脉与肾动脉缩窄造成的慢性心功能不全大鼠,血浆儿茶酚胺浓度增高;心脏β-肾上腺素受体(β-AR)数量增加,其中β_1-AR及其mRNA增加,而β_2-AR及其mRNA不变;左心房异丙基肾上腺素(ISO)浓度-收缩效应曲线右移;而心肌ISO浓度-cAMP蓄积曲线无显著改变;血淋巴细胞β-AR数量显著减少.结果提示心功能不全时心脏β_1-AR数量增多,但其介导的正性变力效应反而降低,在cAMP生成以后的信号转导过程或心肌收缩成分功能存在障碍,而血淋巴细胞β-AR的改变与心脏β-AR的功能改变平行.     

Methodology in the study of seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch): nutritional requirements in Singapore

This paper describes the effort of the Marine Aquaculture Section of the Primary Production Department in Singapore and the Institut Francais de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer in developing adequate facilities for fish nutritional requirement studies in Singapore, and in introducing appropriate nutritional methodology so that results are reliable and accurate. One of the first achievements was the demonstration of homogeneous fish (tropical seabass, Lates calcarifer Bloch) growth response in a newly established tank system before any nutritional experiments were initiated. The application of statistical procedures that take into consideration the power of a test and number of replications required has allowed for more accurate interpretation of results. This can be seen in the results of the first nutritional requirement experiment on the optimal dietary protein level of the seabass at constant energy.     

食管癌病人运铁蛋白(Tf)和组特异性成份(Gc)亚型分布的研究

应用超薄层聚丙烯酰胺凝胶等电聚焦电泳法, 分析了潮汕地区216例无血缘关系、临床上诊断为食管癌的病人和216例健康人的运铁蛋白(Tf)亚型分布情况, 结果发现:食管癌病人组TfC1C1纯合子频率为0.2639,Tf*Cl基因频率为0.4745,显著低于正常人组(分别为0.4352和0.6227,均为P<0.0 01);同时,食管癌病人组TfC2C2纯合子频率为0.2278,Tf*C2基因频率为0. 4977,显著高于正常对照组(分别为0.1852,P<0.05,和0.3634,P<0.001)。应用超薄层聚丙烯酰胺凝胶等电聚焦结合免疫固定法,分析了潮汕地区21 7例无血缘关系的临床上诊断为食管癌病人和 217例健康人的组特异性成份(Gc)亚型的分布,发现两组间无显著性差异。
