大肠杆菌青霉素G酰化酶基因及其邻近区域的核苷酸全序列

Some of microorganisms have been known to possess penicillin G acylase activity. The E. coli derived penicillin G acylase (PGA) can catalyze the conversion of penicillin G into phenylacetic acid and 6-amino-penicillanic acid, the latter is used as the starting compound for the industrial formation of semi-synthetic penicillins. Apart from its industrial importance, the enzyme PGA displays a number of interesting properties. Catalytically active enzyme is localized in the periplasmic space of E. coli cells and composed of two dissimilar subunits. The two subunits are apparently produced from a precursor protein, via a processing pathway hitherto unique in its features for a prokaryotic enzyme. The studies on processing of the precursor and on the relationship between structure and function of the mature enzyme are important theoretically. Previously we cloned a 3.5 kb DNA fragment from a strain (E. coli AS 1.76), which displays PGA activity. In this paper, we report a nucleotide sequence of the 3.5 kb DNA fragment containing PGA gene. After insertion of the DNA fragment into EcoR I and Hind III sites in pWR 13, pPGA 20 had been obtained. We subcloned the Hind III and Bg1 II treated fragment of 1.6 kb in length from pPGA 20 into Hind III and BamH I sites of pWR 13 to get a pPGA 1.6, and Bg1 II and EcoR I treated fragment of 1.9 kb in length into BamH I and EcoR I sites of pWR 13 to get a pPGA 1.9. The linearized pPGA 1.9 which were digested with appropriate restriction enzymes were progressively shortened from both ends respectively by digestion with Bal 31 nuclease, followed by cleavage of shortened target DNA off vector DNA molecules with appropriate restriction enzymes. The series of the DNA fragments shortened from EcoR I end were then cloned into plasmid pWR 13 which had previously digested with Hind III and Sma I enzymes (Fig. 1). The DNA fragment cloned in pWR 13 were directly sequenced on the resulted plasmids by using primer I and primer II. Thus we have obtained the complete nucleotide sequence of the 3.5 kb DNA fragment. The 3.5 kb fragment contains an intact PGA gene which is 2.6 kb.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

酪氨酸对人离体滋养层细胞孕酮与hCG分泌的影响

本文观察三种剂量(2×10~(-5)mol/L,2×10~(-4)mol/L和2×10~(-3)mol/L)的酪氮酸对离体培养的滋养层细胞孕酮及hCG分泌的影响,并对其抑制效应的机理作了初步探讨。实验结果表明,三种剂量的酪氨酸均可抑制滋养层细胞孕酮分泌(P<0.01),但是,在孕酮分泌受酪氨酸抑制的同时,未见对hCG分泌发生影响(P>0.05),进一步观察了酪氨酸对滋养层细胞3β-羟甾脱氢酶活性的影响,结果表明,酪氨酸能显著抑制3β-羟甾脱氢酶活性,提示酪氨酸对滋养层细胞孕酮生成的抑制作用与抑制3β-羟甾脱氢酶活性有关。     

高等植物几丁酶研究进展

几丁醇是一种分解聚N—乙酰胺基葡萄糖分子的糖苷酶,普遍存在于自然界。高等植物中,几丁酶虽然普遍存在,但迄今没有发现底物。因此,高等植物几丁酶的功能是个十分吸引人而又研究不多的问题。本文介绍高等植物几丁酶的分布、酶学性质,基因结构和可诱导性等研究结果。并介绍了几丁酶在植物抗真菌病中的作用的研究进展。

菠菜叶片过氧体甘氨酸转氨酶初探

菠菜叶片过氧体可转变甘油酸或羟基丙酮酸成为丝氨酸。以甘氨酸为氨基供体时,完整过氧体的转变活性比破碎的约高2.5倍,这不是由于完整的膜包被使有效的羟基丙酮酸浓度增加,或由于膜破碎使辅助因子损失,也不是由于过氧体膜的甘氨酸主动运输系统的作用。结果显示,在过氧体中存在甘氨酸转氨酶,完整过氧体中高的转氨速度可能是由于甘氨酸转氨酶在完整的和破碎的过氧体中的构象或构型不同。

RNA研究的一些新进展——RNA生物功能的多样性

近几年发现某些RNA具有酶(Ribozyme)的催化功能。这不仅改变了酶都是蛋白质的传统观念,而且认为在远古时期RNA可能就具有自我复制的活力,因而RNA是先于DNA和蛋白质的最早出现的生物大分子。真核细胞mRNA的剪接机制比较复杂,至今还远没有搞清楚。现在知道,必须通过一个由2′,5′磷酸二酯键形成的“套环”结构,另外还有一类核蛋白体(snRNP)参与反应。反义RNA通过其碱基序列与相关的mRNA形成互补碱基对的方式影响mRNA的翻译。tRNA是蛋白质生物合成中必不可少的一类RNA。此外,它还有其它重要的生物功能。
