胶州湾典型河口湿地土壤活性有机碳和酶活性对互花米草入侵的响应

以胶州湾洋河口湿地为研究对象,按照互花米草入侵年份(0、1、5、8年)分层采集土壤样品(0—10、10—20、20—40 cm和40—60 cm),研究土壤活性有机碳(LOC)和酶(脲酶、过氧化氢酶、碱性磷酸酶、蔗糖酶)活性的变化,分析土壤活性有机碳和酶活性及两者相关性对互花米草入侵的响应。结果表明:与光滩相比,互花米草入侵增加了表层土壤LOC含量,且随着入侵时间的延长显著增加(P0.05)。同时也改变了土壤LOC垂直分布规律,除光滩和入侵1年样地表现出沿剖面逐渐上升之外,其他样地表现为沿剖面先上升后下降趋势;互花米草入侵提高了河口湿地土壤酶活性,但并未改变酶活性随深度增加而逐渐降低的分布规律。随着入侵时间的延长4种酶活性变化趋势有所差异,过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶活性变化趋势一致,表现为随入侵时间延长先急剧增加后逐渐减少,而碱性磷酸酶和脲酶活性随着入侵时间的延长逐渐增加。Pearson相关性分析结果显示,土壤LOC和酶活性呈显著负相关且互花米草入侵时间越长两者间相关性越低,8年后无显著相关性。     

土荆芥挥发油化感胁迫对土壤胞外酶活性和微生物多样性的影响

入侵植物释放的化感物质可改变土壤理化性状和微生物群落结构,通过与土壤微生物的互作抑制本土植物生长。为了进一步诠释土荆芥化感作用机制,采用温室培养瓶法,探讨了其挥发油对土壤胞外酶活性和微生物多样性的影响。结果表明:土荆芥挥发油不同程度降低了脲酶、酸性磷酸酶、蔗糖酶和硝酸还原酶的活性(P0.05);较高剂量的挥发油处理组显著促进了过氧化氢酶活性(P0.05)。处理初期挥发油对土壤胞外酶活性影响较大,但随着处理时间延长,其影响逐渐减弱;处理16 d后,较高剂量(20μL和50μL)的挥发油处理组细菌数量显著高于对照(P0.05)。挥发油对土壤放线菌数量的影响表现为低剂量促进,高剂量抑制的效应;PCR-DGGE分析表明,随着挥发油处理剂量增加和处理时间延长,土壤中细菌和真菌的Shannonwiener多样性指数和丰富度指数均增大。结论:土荆芥挥发油可改变土壤微生物群落结构和胞外酶活性,增加土壤微生物多样性。     

沙枣（Elaeagnus angustifolia）和孩儿拳头（Grewia.biloba G.Don var.parviflora）幼苗气体交换特征与保护酶对干旱胁迫的响应

以沙枣和孩儿拳头2年生盆栽苗为材料,采用称重控水的方法设置4个土壤含水量梯度(CK、T1、T2、T3),研究不同干旱胁迫对沙枣和孩儿拳头气体交换特征与保护酶的影响.结果显示:(1)干旱胁迫不仅引起两物种净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、胞间 CO2 浓度的下降,而且使其日变化曲线在一定程度上发生改变;在轻度(T1)和中度胁迫(T2)下,两物种净光合速率下降主要是由气孔因素引起的,重度胁迫(T3)下,净光合速率下降主要是非气孔因素引起的.(2)随着干旱胁迫增加,沙枣瞬时水分利用效率呈现增加下降再增加趋势,孩儿拳头呈现下降趋势;两物种表观光能利用效率显著下降,重度胁迫下(T3),下降率达50%左右,孩儿拳头表观光能利用效率对干旱胁迫比较敏感;两物种表观CO2利用效率总体呈现下降趋势,沙枣表观CO2利用效率日进程经历了单峰(T1)、双峰(T2)、单峰(T3)的变化,孩儿拳头各处理的表观CO2利用效率日变化均呈现单峰曲线.(3)随着干旱胁迫加剧,两物种叶片的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性先升高后降低,土壤含水量高于12.8%时,两物种SOD酶活性均高于CK,随着土壤含水量的降低,SOD酶活性低于CK;重度胁迫下(T3),沙枣POD酶活性虽然有所下降,但仍高于CK,而孩儿拳头则和CK无显著差异;两物种CAT酶活性在重度胁迫下(T3)显著低于CK;随着干旱胁迫程度的增加,两物种叶片中的丙二醛(MDA)含量均呈现升高趋势,孩儿拳头脂质过氧化程度受干旱胁迫的影响较大.

Improving the phenotype predictions of a yeast genome‐scale metabolic model by incorporating enzymatic constraints

Genome‐scale metabolic models (GEMs) are widely used to calculate metabolic phenotypes. They rely on defining a set of constraints, the most common of which is that the production of metabolites and/or growth are limited by the carbon source uptake rate. However, enzyme abundances and kinetics, which act as limitations on metabolic fluxes, are not taken into account. Here, we present GECKO, a method that enhances a GEM to account for enzymes as part of reactions, thereby ensuring that each metabolic flux does not exceed its maximum capacity, equal to the product of the enzyme's abundance and turnover number. We applied GECKO to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae GEM and demonstrated that the new model could correctly describe phenotypes that the previous model could not, particularly under high enzymatic pressure conditions, such as yeast growing on different carbon sources in excess, coping with stress, or overexpressing a specific pathway. GECKO also allows to directly integrate quantitative proteomics data; by doing so, we significantly reduced flux variability of the model, in over 60% of metabolic reactions. Additionally, the model gives insight into the distribution of enzyme usage between and within metabolic pathways. The developed method and model are expected to increase the use of model‐based design in metabolic engineering.     

Heparanases and tumor metastasis

The successful penetration of endothelial basement membranes is an important process in the formation of hematogenous tumor metastases. Heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycan is a major constituent of endothelial basement membranes, and we have found that HS-degradative activities of metastatic B16 melanoma sublines correlate with their lung-colonizing potentials. The melanoma HS-degrading enzyme is a unique endo-beta-D-glucuronidase (heparanase) that cleaves HS at specific intrachain sites and is detectable in a variety of cultured human malignant melanomas. The treatment of B16 melanoma cells with heparanase inhibitors that have few other biological activities, such as N-acetylated N-desulfated heparin, results in significant reductions in the numbers of experimental lung metastases in syngeneic mice, indicating that heparanase plays an important role in melanoma metastasis. HS-degrading endoglycosidases are not tumor-specific and have been found in several normal tissues and cells. There are at least three types of endo-beta-D-glucuronidases based on their substrate specificities. Melanoma heparanase, an Mr approximately 96,000 enzyme with specificity for beta-D-glucuronosyl-N-acetylglucosaminyl linkages in HS, is different from platelet and mastocytoma endoglucuronidases. Elevated levels of heparanase have been detected in sera from metastatic tumor-bearing animals and malignant melanoma patients, and a correlation exists between serum heparanase activity and extent of metastases. The results suggest that heparanase is potentially a useful marker for tumor metastasis.

Secondary product formation in plant tissue cultures

The formation of secondary products in plant tissue culturesis reviewed. The conditions for the enhanced production of secondaryproducts, which include alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids andphenolics, can be regulated in a number of ways. For example,manipulation of secondary product formation is possible by varyingthe nutrient composition of the growth medium, light, temperatureand pH, and by the use of elicitors, permeabilisation and two-stagesystems. Molecular engineering and the use of biomass and large-scaleculture are described along with future prospects for the commercialproduction of secondary products from cell suspension cultures.
