A型激酶锚定蛋白及其复合物结构与功能

A型激酶锚定蛋白(A-kinase anchoring proteins,AKAPs)是一类结构不同而功能相关的蛋白家族,其主要功能是将cAMP依赖性蛋白激酶A（PKA）锚定于特定的亚细胞结构.PKA是第二信使cAMP的主要效应器,而AKAPs在靶向定位和调节PKA介导的磷酸化事件方面扮演重要角色. AKAPs更为重要的功能是与多种信号分子形成信号复合物,从时间和空间上整合cAMP-PKA和其他信号途径.本文将对AKAPs及其信号复合物的结构特点和参与细胞信号转导的功能机制及其研究现状进行概述.

纯色山鹪莺的领域鸣叫

鸟类鸣叫是鸟类行为研究的一项重要内容,为探究纯色山鹪莺(Prinia inornata)的鸣叫模式与其尾羽逆向变化的关系,于2007年8-10月在广东省肇庆江溪村对繁殖期纯色山鹪莺的领域鸣声等行为进行研究。运用焦点动物观察法,通过Olympus DS-20数码录音笔(100—17100Hz)和直径50cm声音收集器采集声音。行为统计以直接观察和SonyDCR-VX2000E数码摄像机录像相结合。结果如下:⑴共采集到620个鸣句,分属6种鸣句类型,其中4中为常见类型,1种为过渡类型,1种少见类型。(2)纯色山鹪莺的鸣声结构简单,变化较多,能够根据环境改变鸣声,具有识别危险程度和危险对象种类的能力。(3)鸣声均和一定的行为具有联系,4种主要鸣声类型均伴有抖尾行为出现。据此认为,纯色山鹪莺鸣唱结构简单但变化较多,而尾羽在其领域鸣叫行为中发挥了一定作用。     

Flavanols: digestion,absorption and bioactivity

Flavanols, or flavan-3-ols, are a family of bioactive compounds present in cocoa, red wine, green tea, red grapes, berries and apples. With a basic monomer unit of (−)-epicatechin or (+)-catechin, flavanols can be present in foods and beverages as monomers or oligomers (procyanidins). Most, but not all, procyanidins are degraded into monomer or dimer units prior to absorption. The bioavailability of flavanols can be influenced by multiple factors, including food processing, cooking, digestion, and biotransformation. Flavanols are potent antioxidants, scavenging free radicals in vitro and in vivo. While some of the actions of flavanols can be linked to antioxidant activities, other modes of action may also occur, including modulation of intracellular signaling, effects on membrane fluidity and regulation of cytokine release or action. Physiologically, flavanol-rich foods and beverages can affect platelet aggregation, vascular inflammation, endothelial nitric oxide metabolism, and may confer protective effects against neurodegeneration. Epidemiological data suggests that intake of cocoa, a rich source of flavanols, is inversely associated with 15-year cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in older males. (−)-Epicatechin and its metabolite, epicatechin-7-O-glucuronide, have been identified as independent predictors of some of the vascular effects associated with the consumption of a flavanol-rich beverage. Targeted dietary components and nutrition supplements that can influence the vascular system will be of great value in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease.

Effects of special brain area regional cerebral blood flow abnormal perfusion on learning and memory function and its molecular mechanism in rats

To study the effect of special brain area regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) abnormal perfusion on learning and memory function and its molecular mechanism, 64 adult male healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups, the false operation group (control group) and the operation group (model group). After surgical operation, the operation group undertook bilateral common carotid artery permanent ligation, while the other group did not. Learning and memory function were measured by Y-maze at 4 h, 8 h, 24 h and 3 d after surgical operation, respectively. The rCBF of the right frontal lobe and hippocampus was also detected by the PerifluxPF model laser Doppler flowmetry, and the expressions of c-fos or c-jun or Bcl-2 and Bax were also measured by immune histochemistry S-P method accordingly. Results showed that the rCBF of the right frontal lobe and hippocampus in the operation group was significantly lower than that in the false operation group (P < 0.05). The learning indexes, error number (EN), day of reach standard and total reaction time (TRT) in the operation group, were significantly higher than that in the false operation group (P < 0.05). However, the initiative evasion rate in the operation group was significantly lower than that in the false operation group. The study also found that the rCBF was relatively more, the indexes (EN, the day of reach standard and TRT) relatively fewer, but the initiative evasion rate and the memory keeping rate were relatively more. The positive expression and the average absorbency of Fos and Jun in the operation group were significantly higher than that in the false operation group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, Bax and Bcl-2 positive cells were all increased over time in the operation group, and the expression ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in the operation group was significantly higher than that in the false operation group (P < 0.01). In conclusion, rCBF decrease can impair the learning and memory function in rats, which may be related to the increase of the expression ratio of c-fos or c-jun or Bcl-2 or Bax in the frontal cortex and hippocampus.
