放线菌素D和环已亚胺对伊贝母胚性愈伤组织中胚性细胞团和球形胚发生及大分子代谢动态的影响

伊贝母(F.pallidiflora Schrenk)胚性愈伤组织接种于NAA 1.0mg/L+6-BA2.0 mg/L的MS培养基上,在培养10天前可产生大量单细胞到多细胞胚性细胞团,培养10至15天,逐渐形成大量球形胚。利用这样一个实验体系,在培养0、1、2、3和4天后加入放线菌素D(AMD,20μg/ml)和环己亚胺(CHM,20μg/ml),继续培养至第6天,分析大分子代谢动态和观察胚性细胞团的形成情况;培养6和10天后加入同样浓度的AMD和CHM。继续培养至第15天,分析大分子代谢动态及观察球形胚形成情况。结果表明:(1)培养0、1、2、3和4天加入AMD的分别抑制胚性细胞团的100%、63%和45%,加入CHM的抑制100%、85%和75%,培养6和10天后加入CHM抑制球形胚的100%和75%;(2)DNA、RNA和蛋白质在胚性细胞团和球形胚形成时出现两个峰值,其中RNA变化剧烈,最早出现峰值。AMD和CHM分别抑制RNA和蛋白质的合成;(3)过氧化物酶同工酶带在胚性细胞团和球形胚形成过程中顺序表达,AMD和CHM分别在转录和转译水平上对其进行规律性抑制。根据以上结果,本文对伊贝母体细胞胚胎发生的机制进行了初步讨论。     

Cycloheximide resistance in Chinese hamster cells. II. Induction of Chm resistance in Chinese hamster cells by N-nitrosomethylurea.

Mutant Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells with a resistance to 7-10(-7) and 8-10(-7) M cycloheximide (CHM) were induced at mutation rates of 1.9-5.2-10(-3) and 1.6-1.8-10(-3) respectively after treatment with N-nitrosomethylurea (NMU) at 100 mug/ml. The induced mutation rates differed by two orders of magnitude from the spontaneous rate of mutation to CHM resistance.     

Organization of the Rab-GDI/CHM superfamily: the functional basis for choroideremia disease

Choroideremia is an X-chromosome-linked disease that leads to the degeneration of the choriocapillaris, the retinal pigment epithelium and the photoreceptor layer in the eye. The gene product defective in choroideremia, CHM, is identical to Rab escort protein 1 (REP1). CHM/REP1 is an essential component of the catalytic geranylgeranyltransferase II complex (GGTrII) that delivers newly synthesized small GTPases belonging to the RAB gene family to the catalytic complex for post-translational modification. CHM/REP family members are evolutionarily related to members of the guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) family, proteins involved in the recycling of Rab proteins required for vesicular membrane trafficking through the exocytic and endocytic pathways, forming the GDI/CHM superfamily. Biochemical and structural analyses have now revealed a striking parallel in the organization and function of these two families allowing us to generate a general model for GDI/CHM superfamily function in health and disease.     

Changes of Ribonuclease in Cotyledon Segment of Phaseolus radiatus L During Dedifferentiation

Ribonuelease activity and its isozyme pattern of mung bean cotyledon segment were determined during dedifferentiation. The results showed that the activity of ribonuelease in the dedifferentiated tissue is higher than that of control, three new bands of isozyme appear during callus formation. Addition of cycloheximide (CHM) at 0 or 24 hours inhibits either the enzyme activity or the appearance of new bands. These facts indicate that the changes of ribanuelease are at translation level.     

Effect of cycloheximide on protein and DNA synthesis and on the yields of chromosomal aberrations induced by DEB and ENU in vicia faba

Incubation of root tips in cycloheximide (CHM) at concentrations of 0.3–50 μg/ml inhibits the incorporation of [¹⁴C]leucine by 40–100% within 2 h. A depression in the incorporation of [³C]thymidine was observed after a 2-h incubation in CHM solution at 1 μg/ml.In root tips exposed for 2 h to CHM at 1 μ/ml the mitotic activity of cells was severely depressed within 15 h of recovery. Metaphases appearing after 20 h carried infrequent aberrations of the chromatid type. CHM at this concentration had no effect on the yield of aberrations induced by the alkylating agents diepoxybutane (DEB) and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) when applied as post-treatment.     

T 4 -mediated v-gene reactivation of UV-irradiated phage Ti, and its comparison with host-cell reactivation

Soaked seeds of Vicia faba were irradiated with 800 or 400 R, or two 400-R exposures, both with VAC (vacuum) but one with a concomitant treatment of CHM (cycloheximide) (I μg/ml). The chromosome aberration yields from each regimen varied with fixation time such that a unique and characteristic aberration yield for each regimen relative to the others was not obtained. Were single fixations employed one could obtain yields which would indicate no, some, or maximum repair. A single fixation would lead to an incorrect estimation of chromosome damage repair.

AMD与CHM对伊贝母茎段鳞茎发生及过氧化物酶同工酶的影响

伊贝母黄化茎段培养在含有NAA 0.5 mg/1 6BA 0.2 mg/l的MS培养基上。鳞茎发生过程中过氧化物酶活性及同工酶带逐渐增加。AMD和CHM都抑制鳞茎的发生,茎段培养后最初12 h对AMD最为敏感,以后敏感程度逐渐减弱,茎段对CHM的敏感程度更强,敏感时期亦更长。茎段培养后过氧化物酶活性和同工酶的出现和增加受到CHM的抑制,而不受AMD的抑制。     

Cycloheximide resistance in Chinese hamster cells I. Spontaneous mutagenesis

Resistance to cycloheximide (CHM) was studied in cultured Chinese hamster cells. Concentrations of CHM above 5.10⁻⁷M were toxic for the cells. At concentrations above 9.10⁻⁷M no colonies were recovered in selective medium. 15 resistant clones of independent origin were isolated in selective medium containing 7.10⁻⁷M CHM. Resistance was stable when the cells were cultured under non-selective conditions. The spontaneously mutation rate was determined by the fluctuation test. Mutations to CHM resistance arose spontaneously. The spontaneous mutation rate to CHM resistance was about 10⁻⁵.
