蓝色染料配基亲和纯化眼镜蛇心脏毒素的研究

探索了蓝色染料（Cibacron Blue F3G-A）亲和分离中华眼镜蛇心脏毒素的可能性。采用环氧基活化法制备蓝色染料亲和介质,中性条件下提取眼镜蛇粗毒中的心脏毒素。Tricine系统SDS-PAGE多肽电泳和Lowry法蛋白定量分析纯化效果,发现蓝色染料琼脂糖一步纯化中华眼镜蛇心脏毒素的纯度达到84%,结合量为6.9mg/ml介质。这是首次利用小分子亲和配基纯化心脏毒素。与生物大分子配基相比,活性染料分子具有价格便宜,易于合成,性质稳定,不易降解和适合大规模生产等优点。     

Characterization of a novel toxin-antitoxin module, VapBC, encoded by Leptospira interrogans chromosome

Comparative genomic analysis of the coding sequences (CDSs) of Leptospira interrogans revealed a pair of closely linked genes homologous to the vapBC loci of many other bacteria with respect to both deduced amino acid sequencesand operon organizations. Expression of single vapC gene in Escherichia coli resulted in inhibition of bacterial growth,whereas co-expression of vapBC restored the growth effectively. This phenotype is typical for three other character-ized toxin-antitoxin systems of bacteria, i.e., mazEF[1], reIBE[2] and chplK[3]. The VapC proteins of bacteria and a thermophilic archeae, Solfolobus tokodaii, form a structurally distinguished group of toxin different from the other known toxins of bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis of both toxins and antitoxins of all categories indicated that althought oxins were evolved from divergent sources and may or may not follow their speciation paths (as indicated by their 16s RNA seouences）, co-evolution with their antitoxins was obvious.     

Human μ—opioid receptor overexpressed in Sf9 insect cells functionally coupled to endogenous Gi／0 proteins

Human mu-opioid receptor (HmuOR) with a tag of six consecutive histidines at its carboxyl terminus had been expressed in recombinant baculovirus infected Sf9 insect cells. The maximal binding capacity for the [3H] diprenorphine and [3H]ohmefentanyl (Ohm) were 9.1 +/- 0.7 and 6.52 +/- 0.23 nmol/g protein, respectively. The [3H] diprenorphine or [3H] Ohm binding to the receptor expressed in Sf9 cells was strongly inhibited by mu-selective agonists [D-Ala2, N-methyl-Phe4, glyol5]enkephalin (DAGO), Ohm, and morphine, but neither by delta nor by kappa selective agonist. Na+ (100 mM) and GTP (50 microM) could reduce HmuOR agonists etorphine and Ohm affinity binding to the overexpressed HmuOR. mu-selective agonists DAGO and Ohm effectively stimulated [35S]GTP-gammaS binding (EC50 = 2.7 nM and 6.9 nM) and inhibited forskolin- stimulated cAMP accumulation (IC50 = 0.9 nM and 0.3 nM). The agonist-dependent effects could be blocked by opioid antagonist naloxone or by pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin (PTX). These results demonstrated that HmuOR overexpressed in Sf9 insect cells functionally coupled to endogenous G(i/o) proteins.     

球孢白僵菌毒素的分离、毒力检测及结构鉴定

用吸附法从球孢白僵菌(Beauveria bassiana)1003-V的代谢产物中分离出导致昆虫患病的毒素粗提物(以下简称毒素),并对其进行了毒力检测.结果表明,该毒素对白纹伊蚊(Aedes albopictus)幼虫有明显毒性;对棉铃虫(Heliothis zea)幼虫口服毒性较弱,血腔注射毒性较强;仅对革兰氏阳性细菌有抑菌作用.对草地夜蛾(Spodoptera frugiperda)Sf-21细胞株的毒力测定结果表明,毒力回归方程为y=2.03+2.39x,半致死浓度是0.01751%,其95%可信极限为0.01517%~0.0202%.高压液相色谱和红外光谱分析表明,该毒素含有三种在结构和性质上非常相近的物质.     

苏云金杆菌毒素

苏云金杆菌产生的对昆虫有致病作用的毒素有７种,即α－外毒素、β－外毒素、γ－外毒素、δ－内毒素、不稳定外毒素、水溶性毒素、鼠因子外毒素。苏云金杆菌主要是经口感染昆虫,它杀死昆虫可由菌体本身的活动而引起,但是使害虫死亡的更主要的原因是菌体产生的毒素。毒...
