Occurrence of additional Zoea-VI larvae in the mud crab, Scylla paramamosain (Estampador), reared in the laboratory

Mud crabs, Scylla spp. , are commercially important in many Indo-Pacific countries. The larval development of mud crabs has been reported previously as five zoeal and one megalopal stages. This paper reports larval rearing experiments that revealed variability in larval developmental stages in the mud crab Scylla paramamosain, one of four mud crab species. In addition to normal five zoeal stages, an alternative pathway of developing through six zoeal stages was observed for the crab. There were evidences suggested that the appearance of the additional Zoea-VI larvae was associated with unfavourable dietary conditions, including poor quality of diet, inadequate quantity of dietary supply and a period of starvation for newly hatched larvae. Based on exuviae and larval specimens, the morphology of the additional Zoea-VI larvae was described.     

Study on the communities of endophytic fungi and endophytic actinomycetes from rice and their antipathogenic activities in vitro

The populations of endophytic fungi and actinomycetes from four rice cultivars in the Panyu district (Site 1) and Wushan district (Site 2) in Guangdong province, South China, were studied. The preponderant endophytic fungi and actinomycetes isolated belonged to Fusarium and Streptomyces respectively. The incidence of Streptomycetes griseofuscus ranged from 36.1 to 69% out of all the different rice cultivars from the two sites. It is the commonest population of endophytic actinomycetes, and constituted the greatest part of all the antagonistic communities. The distributions of endophytic fungi and actinomycetes in roots and leaves were different, endophytic fungi from leaves were diverse, some were organ-specific. More diverse endophytic actinomycetes were isolated from roots than from leaves. The endophytic fungi isolated from rice in Site 2 were more diverse than that in Site 1. The diversity of the endophytic actinomycetes, however, was less than that in Site 1. Acid soil in Site 2 is ideal for the growth and colonization of fungi while the alkaline soil in Site 1 is better for the growth and colonization of actinomycetes. The results suggested that differences in the chemical composition of soil could influence the endophytic microbial communities of rice plants. The endophytic fungi and actinomycetes isolated from poor-growing seedlings and susceptible rice cultivars were more abundant than that the disease-resistant counterparts. In the dual culture and activity detection of the metabolites, 41.2% of all the isolated endophytic fungi showed antagonism to rice pathogens. Fifty percent of all the isolated endophytic actinomycetes were antagonistic to those pathogens. The percentage of Streptomyces griseofuscus and hygroscopicus reached 55.4 and 21.4% of all the active actinomycetes.

AP-1 and retromer play opposite roles in the trafficking of sortilin between the Golgi apparatus and the lysosomes

Sortilin has been implicated in the sorting of one soluble hydrolase and two sphingolipid activator proteins to the lysosomes. While the GGA adaptor proteins have been demonstrated to play a role in the targeting of sortilin to the endosomes, the recycling of sortilin has not yet been elucidated. Here we examine the role of two adaptor protein complexes, AP-1 and retromer. Our results demonstrate that AP-1 is required for the transport of sortilin to the endosomes and retromer for the recycling of sortilin to the Golgi apparatus. While inhibition of AP-1 causes accumulation of sortilin in the Golgi apparatus, RNAi depletion of retromer results in retention of sortilin in the lysosomes. We also demonstrate that the interaction of sortilin with retromer occurs through a YXXΦ site in its cytosolic tail. In conclusion, our observations indicate that retromer and AP-1 play opposite roles in the trafficking of sortilin.     

Protective effect of a RSV subunit vaccine candidate G1F/M2 was enhanced by a HSP70-Like protein in mice

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major respiratory pathogen in newborns. Neonate vaccine should induce strong protective immunity. We have engineered a subunit vaccine candidate G1F/M2. A major problem in developing subunit vaccines is their limited immunogenicity. Aluminium adjuvants with a long history of use with routine childhood vaccines have some limitations, especially inability to elicit CTL response. There is a need for alternative adjuvants. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are characterized as potent immunoadjuvants. In this study, HSP70-like protein 1 (HSP70L1) gene was cloned. The recombinant protein HSP70L1 was expressed in E. coli, purified and renaturated. We evaluated the potential of HSP70L1 used as the adjuvant of G1F/M2. G1F/M2 was chemically cross-linked with HSP70L1 (HSP-G1F/M2). HSP70L1 enhanced significantly the immunogenicity and protective effect of G1F/M2. HSP-G1F/M2 induced significant higher levels of antibodies, neutralizing antibodies and CTL activity than unadjuvanted G1F/M2. The antibody titers induced by HSP-G1F/M2 were similar to that by G1F/M2 + Alum. RSV-specific CTL activity induced by HSP-G1F/M2 was stronger than that by G1F/M2 + Alum. Interestingly, the protective effect of HSP-G1F/M2 against RSV was significantly stronger than that of G1F/M2 + Alum. The results suggest that HSP70L1 is a potent adjuvant of G1F/M2.
