嗜盐耐盐微生物抗盐胁迫相关离子转运蛋白研究进展

离子转运蛋白在维持细胞内pH稳态、离子动态平衡等方面发挥着重要作用。钠离子转运体和钾离子转运体在嗜盐耐盐微生物中广泛存在,其"保钾排钠"机制是微生物抗盐胁迫的两大策略之一。近年来,嗜盐耐盐微生物中许多新型钠、钾离子转运体被陆续发现,如RDD蛋白、UPF0118蛋白、DUF蛋白和KimA蛋白等;Fe³⁺、Mg²⁺等其他金属离子的转运蛋白也被证实可通过影响微生物胞内相容性溶质的合成起到渗透调节的作用。本文综述了嗜盐耐盐微生物中抗盐胁迫相关的各类离子转运蛋白,分析其分子结构和工作机理,并对这些蛋白在农业方面的应用进行了展望。继续发现新的离子转运蛋白,探究抗盐胁迫相关离子转运蛋白的结构和机理,解析各转运系统的协同作用及分子调控机制,将进一步加深对嗜盐耐盐微生物抗盐胁迫调控的认识,并为盐碱地农作物的改良等提供新的思路。     

Distribution and Significance of Nitric Oxide Synthase in Brain Tissues of Rats Exposed to Deltamethrin Insecticide

The distribution of nitric oxide synthase(NOS)in brain tissues of rats exposed to deltamethrininsecticide has been examined by histochemical NADPH-diaphorase staining techniques on frozen sec-tions.After injection of deltamethrin(12.5mg/kg,i.p.),a reproducible sequence of toxic signs ofhyperexcitability were elicited.The observation and image analysis showed that,within brain sec-tions of rats exposed to deltamethrin,the numbers and the total staining areas of the NOS positiveneurons were greatly increased,especially in cerebral cortex,hippocampal formation and paraventric-ular nucleus.In addition,the density of single neuron and the processes were also increased.The re-sults suggested that deltamethrin may induce the NOS expression or activate the NOS activity.TheNOS activation may involve in the chains responsible for the excitatory neurotoxicities induced bydeltamethrin.     

不同血清型肉毒毒素受体结合域研究进展

肉毒毒素(botulinum neurotoxin, BoNT)是人类已知毒性最强的蛋白质之一,可以引起肌肉松弛麻痹,严重时可导致死亡。肉毒毒素共分为7种血清型(BoNT/A-BoNT/G),根据氨基酸序列差异可进一步分为40多种亚型。肉毒毒素分子结构由3个基本结构域组成：重链羧基端细胞受体结合域、氨基端的易位域和轻链催化域。在运动神经元表面,受体结合域首先与聚唾液酸神经节苷脂结合,随后与突触囊泡蛋白2或突触囊泡结合蛋白结合形成双受体复合物。每种血清型的受体结合域都必须与其相应受体结合才能发挥作用。肉毒毒素的结构功能及其对宿主的作用一直都是研究热点。近年来,因受体结合域可以促进肉毒毒素与运动神经元膜特异性结合,而成为新的研究方向。本综述将概述不同血清型肉毒毒素与受体结合过程中受体结合域结构变化和结合位点差异。通过分析不同血清型及亚型的序列以及受体结合域结构特征,可以更好地了解细胞受体结合域的序列差异和功能,并为肉毒毒素的治疗策略提供新思路。     

DLGCN:基于图卷积网络的药物-lncRNA[]关联预测

为实现高通量识别新的药物-长链非编码RNA(Long non-coding RNA, lncRNA)关联,本文提出了一种基于图卷积网络模型来识别潜在药物-lncRNA关联的方法DLGCN(Drug-LncRNA graph convolution network)。首先,基于药物的结构信息和lncRNA的序列信息分别构建了药物-药物和lncRNA-lncRNA相似性网络,并整合实验证实的药物-lncRNA关联构建了药物-lncRNA异质性网络。然后,将注意力机制和图卷积运算应用于该网络中,学习药物和lncRNA的低维特征,基于整合的低维特征预测新的药物-lncRNA关联。通过效能评估,DLGCN的受试者工作特性曲线下面积(Area under receiver operating characteristic, AUROC)达到0.843 1,优于经典的机器学习方法和常见的深度学习方法。此外,DLGCN预测到姜黄素能够调控lncRNA MALAT1的表达,已被最近的研究证实。DLGCN能够有效预测药物-lncRNA关联,为肿瘤治疗新靶点的识别和抗癌药物的筛选提供了重要参考。

Evaluation of genotoxicity of combined soil pollution by cadmium and imidacloprid

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the important pollutants of soil and the genotoxicity of Cd-contaminated soil was studied in combination with imidacloprid. The single cell gel electrophoresis or comet assay was used to quantify DNA strand breaks as a measure of DNA damage induced by Cd and imidacloprid contamination in soil. The soil was artificially contaminated by Cd 2 h at 25℃ and were used in the comet assay. DNA damage was measured as the values of percentage of nuclei with tails, tail length, tail DNA, tail moment (TM), and Olive tail moment (OTM). DNA damages of root tips of Vicia faba increased after Cd treatment and there were dose-related increases in DNA damage measured as these parameters. However, the addition of imidacloprid further increased the DNA damage. These data confirmed the genotoxic effect of Cd to plants, and that the combined pollution with imidacloprid can enhance the genotoxicity of Cd.     

SpltMNPV日本分离株gp41的克隆表达及gp41和ph的进化分析

从斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒(Spodopteralitura multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus,SpltMNPV)日本分离株(C3)基因组中克隆了gp41基因.该基因编码区含993bp核苷酸,编码分子量为36.9kDa的多肽.将该基因克隆至原核表达载体pET28a,经IPTG诱导后在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中获得了表达.应用CLUSTAL程序分析表明,SpltMNPV日本株(C3)gp41的核苷酸序列和氨基酸序列与SpltMNPV中国G2株相似性最高,均达99.9%.用MEGA分别构建了基于gp41和ph的聚类分析图和分子进化树,发现它们具有相似的拓扑结构.将这两个基因序列结合在一起构建进化树,该树的结构与基于gp41的进化树相似.突变率分析显示gp41的突变率高于ph,这意味着在杆状病毒进化过程中,gp41和ph面临不同的选择压力.
