Preparation of enantiomerically pure (S)-flurbiprofen by an esterase from Pseudomonas sp. KCTC 10122BP

Esterase PF1-K from Pseudomonas sp. KTCC 10122BP was overproduced by the fed-batch culture of Escherichia coli. The soluble expression of esterase PF1-K was achieved by shifting the culture temperature from 37 to 25 °C at the time of IPTG induction. The enzyme was partially purified to about 75% purity by a single-step hydrophobic interaction column chromatography. The purified enzyme exhibited a fairly high enantioselectivity towards the hydrolysis of rac-flurbiprofen ethyl ester. The enzymatic chiral resolution was further improved by optimizing the reaction conditions in terms of reaction rate and enantioselectivity. The optimal reaction conditions were found to be 40 °C, pH 10.5 and 600 mM of initial rac-flurbiprofen ethyl ester. After 90 min of batch reaction under the optimal conditions, 50% of the initial rac-flurbiprofen was hydrolyzed with an enantiomeric excess of 99%.     

四种园蛛同工酶的比较研究

本文采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳的方法,对叶斑园蛛、角类肥蛛(黑、白2种体色)、大腹园蛛、黑斑园蛛4种园蛛科蜘蛛的酯酶(EST)同工酶、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)同工酶、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)同工酶进行了比较研究。结果表明,4种园蛛的EST、LDH具有明显的种族特异性,而SOD在种间基本没有差别。不同种蜘蛛都有各自的EST、LDH同工酶谱型,可以用它们作为识别物种的附加指标。

黑木耳种内杂交子的鉴定技术*

采用原生质体技术,获得黑木耳(Auricularia auricula)栽培菌株He-1的单核化菌株H1、H2、H3和栽培菌株Ju-1的单核化菌株J1、J2、J3,将H1、H2、H3分别与J1、J2、J3配对杂交,核相观察确认H2J1、H2J2和H2J3均为双核体。酯酶同工酶分析表明,H2J1、H2J2和H2J3不仅具有相应的亲本单核体共有的酶带,而且具有两个亲本各自的特异性标记酶带。RAPD分析表明,引物S30和S62对杂交子H2J1、H2J2和H2J3的扩增图谱中不仅包含相应的亲本单核体所共有的DNA带,而且包含亲本单核体各自的特异性DNA带。拮抗和栽培试验表明,杂交子H2J1、H2J2、H2J3与双核体亲本He-1和Ju-1的菌落之间有窄细的黑色拮抗线,子实体形态上有较明显差异。

Role of water activity on the synthesis of geranyl butyrate by a Mucor miehei esterase in a solvent-free system

The initial activity rate for the synthesis of geranyl butyrate by an esterase from Mucor miehei increased with increasing water activity and decreased above 0.5 water activity. The conversion yield after 75 h was about 75% for different, but low, initial water activities and decreased above 0.5 water activity. This behaviour is related to water-enzyme interactions.     

Granulovirus prevents pupation and retards development of Adoxophyes honmai larvae

Abstract Larvae of Adoxophyes honmai (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) infected with granulovirus (AdhoGV) do not pupate; instead, they undergo prolonged larval development and die during the final stadium. Non-infected larvae, however, pupate after five larval stadia. Insect metamorphosis is regulated by fluctuations of ecdysteroid and Juvenile Hormone (JH). JH esterase activity and titres of ecdysteroid must be measured to understand fully the interaction of an insect virus and its host. JH esterase activity is consistently low in AdhoGV-infected larvae, which suggests that JH in AdhoGV-infected larvae is not degraded during the final stadium. The ecdysteroid titre in non-infected larvae showed a large peak in the final stadium before pupation, whereas that in AdhoGV-infected larvae increased from day 2 to day 5 in the final stadium, and then remained at a high level until death. Furthermore, an ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (EGT) assay showed that this activity occurs in haemolymph from AdhoGV-infected larvae, but not in haemolymph of non-infected larvae. PCR and sequencing analysis revealed that the AdhoGV genome contains an egt gene, which encodes a protein of 445 amino acids, located approximately 1 kbp upstream from the granulin gene. These results suggest that AdhoGV-infected larvae are prevented from pupating because JHE activity is suppressed and EGT expression inactivates ecdysteroid in the haemolymph.     

长角血蜱雌蜱感染嗜菌异小杆线虫后血淋巴的变化

用嗜菌异小杆线虫Heterorhabditis bacteriophora E-6-7(Hb E-6-7)感染长角血蜱Haemaphysalis longicornis雌蜱,测定感染后雌蜱血淋巴总蛋白含量、酯酶活性及酯酶同工酶的变化,以探讨昆虫病原线虫对蜱的致病机理。结果显示,雌蜱血淋巴总蛋白含量在Hb E-6-7感染后12 h显著增加,达到最大值92.21 μg/μL;在感染后24 h明显下降（49.06 μg/μL）;至感染后48 h降至34.25 μg/μL。雌蜱血淋巴酯酶活性在线虫感染后0～12 h内无显著变化;在感染24 h后迅速增加（OD_24h=0.1840,OD_36h=0.1940,OD_48h=0.2165）,与对照组差异显著。PAGE结果表明,线虫感染后导致雌蜱血淋巴酯酶同工酶电泳图谱发生变化,主要为电泳图谱两端a带和b带的消失以及一条c带的增加。上述结果表明,长角血蜱雌蜱被Hb E-6-7感染后其血淋巴总蛋白含量和酯酶发生变化,这种变化可能与蜱的防御和对昆虫病原线虫的适应有关。
