Biochemical and biophysical characterization of collagen in Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae)

The collagen from the mesenteric sheath of the tenebrionid insect Tenebrio molitor was extracted by limited pepsin digestion and purified. This collagen was characterized using CM-cellulose chromatography, sodium-dodecylsulfate disc-gel electrophoresis and aminoacid analysis. This molecule was found to be assembled from three identical alpha chains and could be represented by the formula (alpha) 3. The amino acid composition is characteristic of collagen (one-third glycine, high iminoacid content), with high content of hydroxylysine and low content of alanine. Cyanogen bromide digests of these chains indicated that they are not related to any of the known invertebrate or vertebrate chains of interstitial collagens. The molecular weight (M = 280000D) and length (290 nm) were typical, and the banding patterns of the segment-long-spacing crystallites (SLS) and of the reconstitued fibrils were very similar to type I collagen. The denaturation temperature (Td) was 30.7 degrees C and correlated with the total pyrrolidine content as observed in other collagens (von Hippel & Wong's relation). It was concluded that the collagen from this insect showed the classical biochemical and biophysical features of other invertebrate interstitial "primitive" collagens.

Spatio-temporal growth dynamics of a subAlpine Pinus uncinata stand in the French Alps

Natural forests are characterised by a high level of both spatial and temporal heterogeneity. The major processes involved in the creation and maintenance of forest heterogeneity in temperate climates are small-sized canopy disturbances. The resulting openings also modify the growth conditions for the remaining trees. The analysis of tree growth responses using dendrochronological techniques allows the reconstruction of the time sequence of the disturbances. The radial growth analysis is coupled here with both a spatial analysis and a demographic analysis of the forest structure. The age classes are temporally organised in cohorts and spatially distributed in spatial aggregates. The analysis of the most documented disturbance event allowed us to determine the size of the disturbance response patch (between 0.036 and 0.073 ha) and the duration of the disturbance (six years). We considered that this small-scale disturbance event may have been caused by the fall of a single tree and has freed the surrounding trees of its competition.     

八肋游仆虫酸性核糖体蛋白基因克隆与特征分析

原核和真核生物的核糖体大亚基上都存在着一类酸性核糖体蛋白,在大肠杆菌中,分别为L10和L7/L12蛋白,而在真核生物中是P0、P1和P2(简称P蛋白)。这些酸性核糖体蛋白共同组成五聚体复合物P0-(P1/P2)2,在大亚基上形成一个向外侧凸出的柄状结构(Ribosomalstalk)。酸性核糖体蛋白位于核糖体的活性部位,一方面

甘肃小麦HMW—麦谷蛋白亚基遗传变异分析

对61份冬、春小麦品种的HMW—麦谷蛋白亚基分析,共检测到14种亚基和22种亚基组合,13份材料具有5 10亚基,2份具有2*亚基,2份具有14 15亚基,5份具有17 18亚基,5 10亚基在春小麦中出现的频率较冬小麦中高;品种HMW—麦谷蛋白亚基品质得分在4—12分之间,春小麦平均得分7．6,冬小麦平均得分6．6。结果表明：品种间GLu—1位点遗传变异差异大,亚基种类丰富,但优质亚基分布频率较低,品质评分较低,主要原因是其亲本含有优质亚基的比率太低。可见,丰富优质资源,提高小麦5 10亚基的分布频率是今后小麦品质育种的方向。

Établissement d'une nouvelle lignée cellulaire (IAFEs-1) a partir d'ovarioles d'Euxoa scandens [Lep.: Noctuidae]

Résumé Une nouvelle lignée cellulaire stable (IAFEs-1) des ovarioles de chrysalides du lepidoptèreEuxoa scandens Riley a été obtenue. La forme prédominante des cellules est sphérique et le doublement de la population cellulaire s'effectue en 18 et 24 h en utilisant respectivement 20 et 10% de sérum de veau foetal. Cette lignée est sensible à divers virus des polyédroses nucléaires et cytoplasmiques.

Summary A new continuous cell line designated IAFEs-1 was obtained from ovaries ofEuxoa scandens Riley in order to study the replication and the productionin vitro of viruses infecting this cutworm. Predominant cell morphology is spherical and cell population doubling time is 18 and 24 h using respectively 20 and 10% fetal calf serum. Susceptiblity of the cell line to several nuclear and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis viruses is demonstrated.
