玉米两个RFLP标记的原位单杂交与共杂交定位的比较

ＲＦＬＰ标记ｂｎ１８．２３和 ｕｍｃ１１１位于玉米遗传日第 ４连锁群近端,彼此密切连锁但次序尚未确定。用生物素标记对它们进行了原位单杂交和共杂交的比较定位。在植物中,这类原位共杂交的研究为首次报道。在单一探针的原位杂交中 ｕｍｃ１１１被定位在第 １、 ４和９染色体长上,与着丝粒的百分距离分别是７．３６±２．６５、６３．６７±１．０７、４７．８７±２．９０。ｂｎ１８．２３被定位在第４和８染色体长臂上,与着丝粒的百分距离分别是８７．４２±２．４５和２７．６０±１．７５,清楚地表明了这两个标记在第４染色体上的次序。ｂｎ１８．２３和ｕｍｃ１１１分别与编码过氧化氢酶的ｃａｔ３基因和编码丝氨酸／苏氨酸蛋白激酶的ｃｄｅ２Ａ基因紧密连锁。根据供试ＲＦＬＰ标记检出位点推断了基因ｃｄｃ２Ａ和ｃａｔ３的物理位置。原位共杂交在第 ４染色体长臂上同时显示出了ｕｍｃ１１１和ｂｎ１８．２３两个标记的杂交信号,它们的位置分别与单一探针原位杂交的位置基本吻合。这为低拷贝或单一拷贝等小片段ＤＮＡ物理定位的可靠性以及它们共杂交的可行性提供了令人信服的证据。

Distribution et utilisation des assimilats carbonés en relation avec la fixation symbiotique d'azote chez le soja (Glycine max L. Merrill)

Resumé La distribution et l'utilisation du carbone photoassimilé par des sojas (Glycine max L. Merr.) nodulés, cultivés en conditions naturelles ont été suivies durant deux années consécutives par expositions répétées et simultanées de plantes à du¹⁴CO₂ et¹⁵N₂ pendant une journée. Cette méthode couplée à une analyse détaillée des flux respiratoires au niveau des systèmes racinaires a permis de suivre le devenir du carbone en relation avec l'activité fixatrice d'azote. Les résultats montrent que le stade de développement des plantes au moment du marquage exerce une forte influence sur la distribution initiale du carbone. Ce sont les organes en forte croissance qui attirent le plus d'assimilats récents. Ainsi les organes reproducteurs, accumulent des quantités croissantes à partir de leur formation si bien qu'aux environs du jour 100, ils attirent près de 70% de la production nette. Les nodules eux stockent da 3 à 5% de cette production journalière entre les jours 50 et 100 alors que leur activité fixatrice chute déjà fortement dès le jour 85. Pendant la phase d'activité fixatrice optimale, les quantités de carbone perdues sous forme de CO₂, pour le seul processus de réduction du N₂, varient entre 2,5 et 7 mg par mg d'azote fixé. Ceci équivaut à la quantité de carbone destinée aux structures racines et nodules. Les transferts secondaires d'organes à organes se font à partir des organes végétatifs et puis des gousses vers les graines, mais essentiellement à partir de carbone assimilé durant la phase de remplissage des gousses (après le jour 80). Cependant, les quantités remobilisées sont faibles, ce qui indique que la croissance des graines dépend surtout d'une alimentation directe à partir de la photosynthèse.

Distribution and utilization of assimilated carbon in relation to dinitrogen fixation in soybean (Glycine max L. Merril)

Summary Distribution and use of photoassimilated carbon by nodulated soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr.) grown in natural conditions have been studied during two consecutive years by successive and simultaneous exposures of the plants to¹⁴CO₂ and¹⁵N₂ during one day. This method, together with detailed analysis of CO₂ efflux by root systems made it possible to follow the fate of carbon in relation to dinitrogen fixation. The results showed that the stage of development at which the plants were labelled exerted a high influence on the initial distribution of carbon. The growing organs always attracted more of the recently assimilated carbon. So, the reproductive parts accumulated increasing proportions and by day 100 about 70% of the current net production was recovered in pods and seeds. Nodules stored from 3 to 5% of the daily production, from day 50 to day 100, when their fixation activity already dropped by day 85. During the period of optimal fixation the amount of carbon lost as CO₂ due to the only process of N₂ reduction ranged between 2.5 and 7 mg per mg of N₂ fixed. This was equivalent to the amount of carbon directed towards roots and nodules structures during the same time. Secondary transfers by remobilization occurred from leaves and pods to the grains but mainly from the carbon assimilated during the podfilling stage (after day 80). However, these amounts were small indicating that grain development is mainly supported by current assimilates.

     

Photoaffinity Labelling of the Benzodiazepine Receptor Compromises the Recognition Site but Not Its Effector Mechanism

When subjected to ultraviolet light flunitrazepam could be irreversibly attached to brain membrane preparations such that the affinity of the benzodiazepine receptor for certain ligands, such as diazepam, becomes markedly reduced. However, the apparent affinity for diazepam is increased by the addition of gamma-aminobutyric acid and sodium chloride, to the same extent in this membrane preparation as in membranes not so pretreated. This observation suggests that photoaffinity labelling of the benzodiazepine receptor with flunitrazepam modifies the recognition characteristics of the receptor but not its effector mechanism.     

Investigation of antigenic expression of Bacteroides fragilis by immunogold labelling and immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody

Abstract Electron microscopy and immunogold labelling with monoclonal antibody (McAb) Bfl identified an antigen expressed on some in vitro and in vivo grown Bacteroides fragilis NCTC9343 cells.
Immunoprecipitation with this McAb was used to enrich for B. fragilis NCTC9343 cells expressing the Bfl antigen. The McAb Bfl bound to an epitope close to the surface of the outer membrane, but the fibrous capsular network radiating from the bacterial surface was not labelled. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting identified 3 high- M _r bands which resisted heating and protease digestion but were partially sensitive to sodium periodate treatment.     

Repeated DNA sequences inTriticum (Poaceae): Chromosomal mapping and its bearing on the evolution of B and G genomes

The somatic chromosomes ofTriticum turgicum var.durum cv. Langdon andT. dicoccoides (AABB tetraploids),T. timopheevii, andT. araraticum (AAGG tetraploids) were assayed for distribution patterns of a highly repeated 120bp DNA sequence by in situ hybridization. The repeated sequence appears to be an ancient sequence shared withSecale andAegilops. The distribution patterns of the chromosomes were compared to the patterns of the A and B genome chromosomes ofT. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring (AABBDD hexaploid).T. turgidum andT. dicoccoides were observed to have identical in situ hybridization patterns. In both species, nine chromosomes with a total of 21 sites of hybridization were observed. The pattern, with few exceptions, was identical to that of Chinese Spring.T. araraticum andT. timopheevii were observed to have different patterns. InT. araraticum, six chromosomes with 21 total hybridization sites are present while inT. timopheevii nine chromosomes with 19 total sites exist. Major differences in hybridization patterns were observed between the B and G genomes. The divergence of the tetraploid wheats in this study appears to have resulted in changes in location, not in amount, of the ancient repeated sequence.     

Influence of 8-azido-ATP and other anions on the activity of cytochromec oxidase

The effect of ATP and other anions on the kinetics of cytochromec oxidation by reconstituted bovine heart cytochromec oxidase was investigated. The following results were obtained: (1) ATP and other polyvalent anions increase theK _m for cytochromec and theV _max (if assayed by the photometric method). The magnitude of the effect is proportional to the charge of the anion as follows from the series of increasing effectiveness: P_iii. (2) The kinetic effects are obtained in the millimolar physiological concentration range. (3) The kinetic changes are not saturated at high concentrations. (4) A specific interaction site for ATP at the cytosolic domain of the enzyme is concluded from the increase ofK _m for cytochromec after photolabelling of proteoliposomes with 8-azido-[-³²P]-ATP, which is protected by ATP but not by ADP. (5) No specific binding site for ATP could be identified by photolabelling with 8-azido-[-³²P]-ATP. The labelling is only partly protected by ATP or ADP.Abbreviations CCP carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride - 8-N₃-ATP 8-azido-adenosine-5-triphosphate Dedicated to Professor Dr. Friedhelm Schneider on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Summary Two new protocols for the three-dimensional, triple resonance, constant-time HCA(CO)N NMR experiment are presented that significantly increase the experimental resolution attainable in the C frequency dimension. Experimental verification of the new experiments is provided by spectra of the IIA domain of glucose permease fromBacillus subtilis.
