酵母亚细胞结构分离效率评估菌株的构建 *

背景: 真核细胞依赖其亚细胞结构高效地完成复杂的生化反应。尽管目前有一些亚细胞结构分离技术,但却缺乏评估这些分离技术的简单、有效方法。目的: 构建可以用来检测亚细胞结构分离效率的酿酒酵母菌株。方法: 通过传统的分子生物学与细胞生物学方法以酿酒酵母为背景构建了亚细胞结构分离效率评估菌株,并进行可行性检测。首先,将酵母各细胞器、自噬体及质膜的标记蛋白进行分组,用不同的蛋白标签分别标记每组蛋白。然后,以标记蛋白-GFP/RFP作为对照组通过免疫荧光法检测蛋白标签对标记蛋白的亚细胞定位是否有影响。最后,通过非连续性密度梯度离心验证该检测菌株能否用来检测亚细胞结构的分离效率。结果: 成功构建了酵母亚细胞结构分离效率评估菌株,该菌株标记了大多数酵母细胞亚细胞结构。挂标签的标记蛋白仍然定位在各自标记蛋白对应的亚细胞结构。非连续性密度梯度离心后,酵母各个亚细胞结构的标记蛋白均可以被检测到。结论: 该酵母亚细胞结构分离效率评估菌株是检测各亚细胞结构分离结果的方便工具,对今后酿酒酵母细胞生物学的研究有潜在的应用价值。

Specificity of lung surfactant protein SP-A for both the carbohydrate and the lipid moieties of certain neutral glycolipids.

Binding specificity of the major surfactant protein SP-A from human and dog lung has been investigated. Radiobinding experiments have shown that both proteins bind in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner to galactose, mannose, fucose, and glucose linked to bovine serum albumin. These results are in accord with a previous study in which monosaccharides were linked to agarose (Haagsman, H. P., Hawgood, S., Sargeant, T., Buckley, D., White, R. T., Drickamer, K., and Benson, B. J. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 13877-13880). Chromatogram overlays in conjunction with in situ liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (TLC-LSIMS) of several purified glycosphingolipids and neoglycolipids as well as binding assays with glycolipids immobilized on plastic wells, demonstrate recognition of galactose (human and dog SP-A), glucose, and lactose (human SP-A) in association with specific lipids. In addition, the occurrence of several neutral and acidic glycosphingolipids in human and rat extracellular surfactants and rat alveolar type II cells is described. Selected components among the neutral glycolipids are bound by radiolabeled human SP-A; these are identified by TLC-LSIMS as predominantly ceramide mono- and disaccharides (human surfactant) and ceramide tri- and tetrasaccharides (rat surfactant and type II cells). A recombinant carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of human SP-A inhibits the binding of human SP-A to galactosyl ceramide and to galactose- and mannose-bovine serum albumin, indicating that the CRD is directly involved in the binding of SP-A to these ligands. These results provide evidence for a novel type of binding specificity for proteins that have Ca(2+)-dependent CRDs and raise the possibility that glycosphingolipids are endogenous ligands for SP-A.     

Concentration of plasminogen activators and inhibitor in the human endometrium at different phases of the menstrual cycle.

The concentrations of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) have been determined in endometrial curettings obtained from 46 subfertile women during proliferative, early or late secretory phases of the menstrual cycle. t-PA activity and antigen concentrations was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in late secretory endometrium than in proliferative or early secretory endometrium. Higher concentrations of PAI-1 antigen (P < 0.05) were also noted in late secretory phase than in proliferative and early secretory endometrium. However, u-PA concentration was not significantly different and no PAI activity could be demonstrated in the menstrual phases studied. Zymography studies confirmed the presence of both t-PA and u-PA in the endometrium. Ovarian hormonal patterns may therefore influence the activity of plasminogen activators especially of t-PA in the endometrium during various phases of the menstrual cycle.     

国槐尺蠖性信息素的生物学研究

国槐尺蠖(semiothisa cinerearia Bremer et Grey)的性信息素腺体位置通过触角电位、扫描电镜和组织学三种研究技术进行了检查。触角电位证明性信息素腺体位于产卵器。扫描电镜确定在雌蛾腹部第Ⅷ和Ⅸ—Ⅹ节之间的节间膜背面有一囊状结构。触角电位进一步证明这一囊状结构为性信息素腺体。腺体横切显示性信息素腺体细胞特征为核大,细胞体呈柱状,细胞质内有小空泡。触角电位证明雌蛾在暗周期(20:00,21:00和22:00)产生的性信息素比在光周期(8:00、9:00和10:00)多。风洞试验显示雄蛾在暗周期(21:00)比在光周期(9:00)对性信息素提取物的行为反应强烈。田间试验证明性信息素腺体提取物具有诱蛾活性。上述结果为国槐尺蠖性信息素的化学分离和鉴定提供了基础。

用免疫酶法对油桐尺蠖、家蚕核型多角体病毒的测定

免疫酶法(ELISA)是在萤光抗体和组织化学的基础上将抗原——抗体的免疫反应同酶的高效催化作用有机地结合起来而形成的一种新技术。在不破坏酶活性和免疫球蛋白的免疫反应的情况下,酶分子和免疫球蛋白共价结合形成标记抗体,成为保持免疫学与生物化学活性的指示剂。这种指示剂与待检物呈特异性结合,借助于酶对底物的作用而产生可见的不溶性反应产物。免疫酶法不仅能在光学显微镜下进行细胞水平上的抗原、抗体的定位研究,而且可用电子显微镜在分子水平上进行抗原、抗体超微结构的观察。本文试图应用ELISA对昆虫核型多角体病毒进行检测,并且在研究昆虫病毒的感染机制方面作出病原定位。
