甲壳动物的生殖量与环境关系：Ⅰ.枝角类

生殖量是生殖潜力(reproductivepotential)的一个主要标志,也是生态系统(含生产力)和种群生态学(含数量变动)的一个主要内容。它在很大程度上是由遗传因子(基因)决定的,表现在各类动物的生殖量有很     

长春和北京地区引起婴幼儿肺炎的3型与7型腺病毒的分子流行病学研究

对长春和北京地区连续12年(1976年冬至1988年春)引起小儿肺炎的3、7型腺病毒102株标本,进行了限制性内切酶核酸电泳图谱分析。56株7型腺病毒经BamHⅠ、BclⅠ、BglⅠ、XbaⅠ、SmaⅠ、HindⅢ分析后,表现为两个基因组型——Ad7 b和Ad7 d。46株3型腺病毒被Bg1 Ⅱ、BamHⅠ酶解后,表现为 3个基因组型——Ad 3Ⅰ、Ad 3Ⅱ、Ad 3Ⅲ。各基因组型的分布情况是:56株7型腺病毒中,43株为Ad 7 b(76.8％),流行于1976年冬至1986年春;13株是Ad 7 d(23.2％),出现于1982年,与Ad 7 b共同流行;1986年～1988年分析的5株病毒都是Ad 7d。43株3型腺病毒中,Ad3Ⅰ42株(91.0％),分布于12年中;Ad 3Ⅱ、Ad 3Ⅲ各2株,散在分布。此结果表明,国内这12年中引起小儿肺炎的3型腺病毒至少有3个基因组型,7型腺病毒至少有两个基因组型。Ad3Ⅰ和Ad7 b是流行优势基因组型。但自80年代初开始出现Ad7 d以来,有逐年增多的趋势,最近两年的标本又都是Ad7 d,很可能它将取代Ad7 b而成为流行的优势基因组型.

Na~(+)、Ca~(2+)、Cu~(2+)和Zn~(2+)与HSA相互作用的~(23)(Na)-NMR研究

 本文应用~23Na-NMR波谱技术,研究了Na~(+)、Ca~(2+)、Cu~(2+)和Zn~(2+)与人体血清白蛋白(HSA)的相互作用。在实验基础上,通过引入两位快交换模型,拟合计算获得了Na~(+)与HSA相互作用的结合常数和处于结合状态Na~(+)的相关时间;实验表明Ca~(2+)能与Na~(+)竞争同HSA结合,拟合计算获得了两者与HSA相互作用结合常数的比值,棕榈酸钠能增强Ca~(2+)同Na~(+)竞争与HSA结合的能力;从实验上未能观察到Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)能同Na~(+)竞争与HSA相互作用的证据。     

Mechanisms of Sodium Transport at the Blood-Brain Barrier Studied with In Situ Perfusion of Rat Brain

Abstract: The mechanism of unidirectional transport of sodium from blood to brain in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats was examined using in situ perfusion. Sodium transport followed Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics with a V _max of 50.1 nmol/g/min and a K _m of 17.7 m M in the left frontal cortex. The kinetic analysis indicated that, at a physiologic sodium concentration, ∼26% of sodium transport at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was carrier mediated. Dimethylamiloride (25 µ M ), an inhibitor of Na⁺/H⁺ exchange, reduced sodium transport by 28%, whereas phenamil (25 µ M ), a sodium channel inhibitor, reduced the transfer constant for sodium by 22%. Bumetanide (250 µ M ) and hydrochlorothiazide (1.5 m M ), inhibitors of Na⁺-K⁺-2Cl⁻/NaCl symport, were ineffective in reducing blood to brain sodium transport. Acetazolamide (0.25 m M ), an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, did not change sodium transport at the BBB. Finally, a perfusate pH of 7.0 or 7.8 or a perfusate P co ₂ of 86 mm Hg failed to change sodium transport. These results indicate that 50% of transcellular transport of sodium from blood to brain occurs through Na⁺/H⁺ exchange and a sodium channel in the luminal membrane of the BBB. We propose that the sodium transport systems at the luminal membrane of the BBB, in conjunction with Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ exchange, lead to net NaCl secretion and obligate water transport into the brain.     

The size and conformation of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8) DNA in infected cells and virions.

The genome of a novel human herpesvirus has been detected in specimens of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and in several AIDS-related lymphoproliferative disorders. Here we examine the size and genomic conformation of the DNA of this virus (known as KS-associated herpesvirus or human herpesvirus 8) in latently and lytically infected cells and in virions. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of viral DNA shows that the viral genome is similar in size to those of other gammaherpesviruses (160 to 170 kb). As with Epstein-Barr virus, KS-associated herpesvirus DNA is stably maintained in latently infected B cells as episomal monomer circles and induction from latency is associated with the selective accumulation of linear genomic forms.     

棕色固氮菌缺失nifZ基因的突变种固氮酶MoFe蛋白的纯化和性质

采用 52℃下加热 6 min,后经 DEAE- 52、Sephacryls S- 2 0 0和 Q- Sepharose等柱层析方法 ,分离纯化了棕色固氮菌 (Azotobacter vinelandii)缺失 nif Z基因突变种固氮酶 Mo Fe(Δnif Z Mo Fe)蛋白 ,其纯度达到电泳纯。Δnif Z Mo Fe蛋白的固氮活性为 2 83nmol C2 H2 还原 / (min·mg蛋白 ) ,远低于野生种 Mo Fe蛋白。Δnif Z Mo Fe蛋白对氧更敏感 ;热稳定性略低于野生种。Δnif Z Mo Fe蛋白的可见光吸收光谱与野生种 Mo Fe蛋白极为相似。其圆二色谱和磁圆二色谱在 450～ 550 nm与野生种 Mo Fe蛋白显著不同 ,表明其 P- cluster及其周围环境与野生种 Mo Fe蛋白有所差异。这亦可能是造成缺失 nif Z突变种 Mo Fe蛋白固氮活性低的原因。     

独叶草叶二叉分枝脉序中网结脉和盲脉的形态学研究

对独叶草营养叶二叉分枝脉序及其中的网结脉和盲脉的形态学研究表明：(1)网结脉中2条完全汇合的与靠近脉中完全分离的叶脉之间未发现任何形式的维管束汇合的中间类型及网结脉中具有不同程度的连接脉退化痕迹的事实表明,网结脉不可能由靠近脉产生,相反,由于网结脉中联结脉的退化而形成开放脉;(2)盲脉是通过伴随着齿退化的达齿脉的退化、网结脉中联结脉的间断、非网结脉由分枝处间断三种方式产生的;(3)越裂片脉的出现及其可以形成网结脉的现象表明独叶草营养叶可能曾具有较为复杂的脉序,这种叶脉也呈现出退化的趋势;(4)独叶草营养叶的二叉分枝脉序可能是一种退化性状,而网结脉的出现可能是这种退化过程中的残留痕迹。     

A conserved proline-rich region of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cyclase-associated protein binds SH3 domains and modulates cytoskeletal localization.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae cyclase-associated protein (CAP or Srv2p) is multifunctional. The N-terminal third of CAP binds to adenylyl cyclase and has been implicated in adenylyl cyclase activation in vivo. The widely conserved C-terminal domain of CAP binds to monomeric actin and serves an important cytoskeletal regulatory function in vivo. In addition, all CAP homologs contain a centrally located proline-rich region which has no previously identified function. Recently, SH3 (Src homology 3) domains were shown to bind to proline-rich regions of proteins. Here we report that the proline-rich region of CAP is recognized by the SH3 domains of several proteins, including the yeast actin-associated protein Abp1p. Immunolocalization experiments demonstrate that CAP colocalizes with cortical actin-containing structures in vivo and that a region of CAP containing the SH3 domain binding site is required for this localization. We also demonstrate that the SH3 domain of yeast Abp1p and that of the yeast RAS protein guanine nucleotide exchange factor Cdc25p complex with adenylyl cyclase in vitro. Interestingly, the binding of the Cdc25p SH3 domain is not mediated by CAP and therefore may involve direct binding to adenylyl cyclase or to an unidentified protein which complexes with adenylyl cyclase. We also found that CAP homologous from Schizosaccharomyces pombe and humans bind SH3 domains. The human protein binds most strongly to the SH3 domain from the abl proto-oncogene. These observations identify CAP as an SH3 domain-binding protein and suggest that CAP mediates interactions between SH3 domain proteins and monomeric actin.
