Herbicidal Activity of Toxin from Fusarium avenaceum GD-2 against Wild Oats (Avena fatua L.)

The herbicidal activity potential of toxin from Fusarium avenaceum GD-2 was evaluated against wild oats (Avena fatua L.) in this study. The toxin was assayed in vitro to evaluate its inhibition against seed germination of A. fatua. The toxin of F. avenaceum GD-2 was shown to have an inhibitory effect of around 77.54% at 5 mg/mL against germination of A. fatua seeds. The inhibitory effect shown by the toxins against radicle had higher activity than plumule under the same concentration. The toxin of F. avenaceum GD-2 significantly diminished the plant length the part on the ground with various treatments when treated with the toxin under greenhouse conditions. However, there were no significantly different reductions in plant length and the weed fresh weight with different treatments. In detached leaf injection bioassay, the toxic metabolite was characterized after the culture filtrates crude extraction with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The residues left after solvent evaporation were evaluated separately for their toxicity against the target weed. Residue (5 mg/mL) obtained from n butanol fraction showed the highest toxic activity when compared with others. Moreover, a host range experiments on the sensitivity of 10 plant species revealed that barnyard grasses and goosefeet were more sensitive to the toxin of the culture filtrate. Three herbicidal active compounds were isolated and purified from cultural filtrate with the same UV absorption peak. The recent results showed potential for the development of the toxins produced by F. avenaceum GD-2 as a bio herbicidal source to control and eliminate A. fatua weed.

Association of single nucleotide polymorphism rs2065955 of the filaggrin gene with susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric carcinoma and EBV-negative gastric carcinoma

The relationship between the Filaggrin gene(FLG) rs2065955 polymorphism and susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma(EBVa GC) and EBV-negative gastric carcinoma(EBVn GC) was investigated in Shandong Province,China.We detected the FLG rs2065955 genotype and allele distribution by using PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) in 64 EBVa GC,82 EBVn GC,and 111 normal control samples.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the level of FLG protein in 35 EBVa GC and 51 EBVn GC tumor tissues.Compared with normal controls,the genotype CC and allele C of FLG rs2065955 showed higher frequency in EBVa GC and EBVn GC.There was no significant difference between EBVa GC and EBVn GC in allele distribution of FLG rs2065955,but the genotype CC was found more frequently in EBVa GC than in EBVn GC.The risk of developing either EBVa GC or EBVn GC in genotype CC was higher than in other genotypes.Furthermore,genotype CC of FLG rs2065955 may contribute more to the risk of developing EBVa GC than EBVn GC.There was no significant difference in the expression level of FLG protein between EBVa GC and EBVn GC.In conclusion,the FLG rs2065955 polymorphism was significantly related to gastric carcinoma.Allele C of FLG rs2065955 could be a risk factor for EBVa GC or EBVn GC,while genotype CC of FLG rs2065955 was especially associated with EBVa GC.     

The glutamate biosynthetic pathway in brain:a novel mechanism of moderate UV-induced neurobehavioral changes

Using single-cell mass spectrometry technology,Zhu et al.[1] recently revealed that a novel intra-neuronal glutamate(GLU)biosynthetic pathway contributes to sunlight ultraviolet(UV)-induced neurobehavioral effects.In the study,moderate UV exposure was found to increase blood levels of urocanic acid(UCA),which may cross the blood–brain barrier(BBB).Subsequently,UCA promotes GLU biosynthesis and release in various brain regions,including motor cortex and hippocampus.Strikingly,UV exposure improves motor learning and object recognition memory.The inhibitor against urocanase,an enzyme critical for the conversion of UCA to GLU,reverses the UV exposure-related neurological effects.Thus,the activation of UCA-GLU metabolic pathway mediates the process of UV-triggered neurobehavioral changes(Fig.1).

优化的Native PAGE蛋白回收方法在AFM中的应用

原子力显微镜(AFM)可以在生理条件下获得生物大分子的自然结构信息而不需要进行图像处理。虽然对含有大小范围不一的异质样品成像可以得到几纳米的分辨率,但是具有更高的亚纳米级分辨率的图像仅可以从含有单一亚基数目的高度均一的蛋白复合物获得。在重组蛋白的制备中这种蛋白复合物经常不存在,尤其是对于膜蛋白则更具有挑战性。本研究中,研究者以一种熟知的膜成孔蛋白复合物Perfringolysin O(PFO)作为模型系统,研制出一种方法来分离含有单一亚基数目的复合物,并用于随后在液相的AFM成像。具体而言,研究人员通过非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(Native PAGE)分离出该复合物中特定大小的蛋白成分,然后提取时采用一种新方法使结构完整保持。预计这种方法不仅对更多其他蛋白的高分辨率AFM研究有效用,而且在基于单分子方法和生物技术应用的研究上有更普遍的用途。
