绿豆苯丙氨酸解氨酶的性质及抗肿瘤作用研究

本文参照Ｈａｖｉｒ的方法,从绿豆中分离纯化了苯丙氨酸解氨酶（ＰＡＬ）。纯化的ＰＡＬ经ＳＤＳ聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳及等电聚焦电泳鉴定为单一的蛋白质区带,并测得亚基分子量为７６ＫＤ,等电点为５．４５。在ＰＡＬ对Ｌ１２１０小鼠淋巴细胞白血病细胞株的体外抑制实验观察到：ＰＡＬ对该瘤株的抑制作用随作用时间的延长和药物剂量的增加而增强,０．２Ｕ／ｍｌ、１．０Ｕ／ｍｌ、２．０Ｕ／ｍｌ、４．０Ｕ／ｍｌ、６．０Ｕ／ｍｌ、１０．０Ｕ／ｍｌ的ＰＡＬ作用癌细胞７２ｈ,其抑制率分别为２５．８％、４０．０％、５５．３％、７２．６％、７７．９％、８２．９％。     

Chib1和PAL5基因在AM真菌Glomus fasciculatus诱导大豆抗线虫病害防御反应中的作用

本研究系统分析了大豆（品种：‘鲁豆4’）接种AM真菌Glomus fasciculatum和胞囊线虫（SCN,Heterodera glycines）4号生理小种后各处理菌根和线虫侵染率、几丁质酶和苯丙氨酸解氨酶（PAL）活性及几丁质酶基因Chib1和苯丙氨酸解氨酶基因PAL5转录物的动态变化。结果表明,接种SCN对AM真菌的侵染率没有产生显著影响,但先接种AM真菌后接种SCN的大豆根内线虫侵染率明显低于只接种SCN的处理。另外,先接种AM真菌后接种SCN的大豆根内几丁质酶和PAL活性显著提高,活性高峰出现在接种线虫后的第3天。值得注意的是,先接种AM真菌后接种SCN的大豆根内两种基因Chib1和PAL5转录物高峰也出现在接种SCN后的第3天,即AM真菌侵染率快速上升而SCN侵染率快速下降时期。所以Chib1和PAL5基因的表达可能是AM真菌诱导的抗大豆胞囊线虫病害防御反应的一种表现。因此推测Chib1和PAL5直接参与了AM真菌诱导大豆抗胞囊线虫病害的防御反应。     

Phenylalanine ammonia lyase and cinnamic acid hydroxylases as assembled consecutive enzymes on microsomal membranes of cucumber cotyledons: Cooperation and subcellular distribution

1. Cooperation between phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) and cinnamic acid hydroxylases was investigated using microsomal fractions from cotyledons of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). The interpretations were based on experiments which demonstrate a limited exchange between the pool of cinnamic acid formed by the membrane-bound phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and the cinnamic acid pool external to the enzyme-membrane system. 2. The extent of cooperation between the microsomal enzymes was proved to be influenced by treatment of the cotyledons with light. On exposure to UV-light, which is known to enhance greatly the soluble phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity in cell cultures, differential effects on the levels of microsomal and soluble phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, and of cinnamic acid hydroxylases, were observed. The time course of the enzyme activities and their cooperation in vitro after treatment of the cotyledons with light were studied. 3. The extent of cooperation in vitro was found to vary depending on the concentration of L-phenylalanine. 4. Homogenates obtained from etiolated cotyledons of Cucumis sativus in the absence of Mg²⁺ were fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and examined for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamic acid o-hydroxylase, cinnamic acid o-hydroxylase, and several marker enzymes. Ammonia-lyase activity was highest in fractions with 25% sucrose, in which primarily smooth endoplasmic reticulum is localized. Hydroxylase activities co-occur with phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in these fractions (density=1.100 g/cm³), and also in fractions at higher densities (d=1.12–1.13 and 1.15 g/cm³).Abbreviations PAL L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - Tris tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane - EDTA ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid - ATPase ATP phosphohydrolase

促进紫杉醇合成真菌诱导物制备方法的选择及组分的分离

红豆杉细胞培养被认为是一种解决紫杉醇药源短缺的潜在有效方法之一[1] ,但普遍存在着红豆杉属植物离体细胞的紫杉醇产量比较低的问题。诱导子是一种可引起植物细胞过敏反应的特定生化信号 ,能快速、高度专一地诱导植物特定基因的表达 ,因此 ,利用诱导子刺激以提高红豆杉细胞中紫杉醇产量是目前国内外研究热点 [2 4 ]。但这些研究主要集中有效诱导子的筛选 ,而关于诱导子的制备方法对诱导紫杉醇生物合成的活性研究则甚少。为了提高诱导子的诱导活性 ,笔者以从中国红豆杉树皮中筛选出证明有效诱导紫杉醇的真菌 F5为菌种 [2 ] ,研究不同制备…     

光质对悬浮培养黄岑细胞生长及黄岑苷积累的影响

研究了不同光质、光强和光期对悬浮培养黄芩(Scutellaria baicalensis)细胞的生长、细胞中苯丙氨酸氨基裂解酶(PAL)活性及黄芩苷含量的影响。白光、紫外光、红光和蓝光对悬浮培养黄芩细胞PAL活性和黄芩苷含量有不同的影响。白光、紫外光和蓝光对PAL活性和黄芩苷的积累具有诱导促进作用,其中紫外光的促进作用最强,白光和蓝光的促进作用较弱,而红光照射对PAL活性和黄芩苷的积累有一定的抑制作用。在0-60μmolm-2s-1紫外光照射强度范围内,PAL活性和黄芩苷含量随着紫外光照射强度的增加而显著提高。实验结果同时表明,红光照射显著促进黄芩细胞的生长,紫外光抑制黄芩细胞的生长,而蓝光和白光对悬浮培养黄芩细胞生长的促进作用不明显。与黑暗(对照)相比,每天8h光照强度为60μmolm-2s-1的紫外光、16h光照强度为50μmolm-2s-1的红光交替处理,在培养12d后,细胞的鲜重和黄芩苷含量为对照的1.16和3.2倍,黄芩苷的产量达到439mgL-1,是对照的3.8倍。     

Elicitation of galanthamine biosynthesis by Leucojum aestivum liquid shoot cultures

The effects of methyl jasmonate and jasmonic acid on galanthamine production, phenolic acid content and growth of Leucojum aestivum L. shoot culture, cultivated in submerged conditions were investigated. The best time-point for addition of elicitors was during the exponential phase of the culture growth. The maximal contents of galanthamine and lycorine (226.9 μg/flask and 491.4 μg/flask, 1.36 and 1.67-fold higher compared to the control, respectively) were achieved after elicitation with jasmonic acid, whereas the elicitation with methyl jasmonte resulted in maximal accumulation of phenolic acids. It was demonstrated that the boosting effect of jasmonic acid on Amaryllidacea alkaloid biosynthesis was due to induction of the activity of tyrosine decarboxylase, whereas methyl jasmonate stimulates the biosynthesis of phenolic acids by inducing mainly the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase.     

Molecular regulation of catechins biosynthesis in tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze

Catechins are bioprospecting molecules present in tea and any effort towards metabolic engineering of this important moiety would require knowledge on gene regulation. These are synthesized through the activities of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathways. Expression regulation of various genes of these pathways namely phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (CsPAL), cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (CsC4H), p-coumarate:CoA ligase (Cs4CL), flavanone 3-hydroxylase (CsF3H), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (CsDFR) and anthocyanidin reductase (CsANR) was accomplished previously. In depth analyses of the remaining genes namely, chalcone synthase (CsCHS), chalcone isomerase (CsCHI), flavonoid 3'5'-hydroxylase (CsF3'5'H) and anthocyanidin synthase (CsANS) were lacking. The objective of the work was to clone and analyze these genes so as to generate a comprehensive knowledge on the critical genes of catechins biosynthesis pathway. Gene expression analysis was carried out in response to leaf age and external cues (drought stress, abscisic acid, gibberellic acid treatments and wounding). A holistic analysis suggested that CsCHI, CsF3H, CsDFR, CsANS and CsANR were amongst the critical regulatory genes in regulating catechins content.
