酪氨酸羟化酶基因载体－pCMVTH 质粒的构建及在大鼠骨骼肌内的表达

为用转基因方法治疗巴金森氏病大鼠模型,本研究采用分子克隆技术,将合成多巴胺的关键酶－酪氨酸羟化酶（ＴＨ）的基因,克隆进入以巨细胞病毒ＣＭＶ为启动子的载体质粒内,经限制性内切酶定位分析证实该重组的ＤＮＡ质粒的可靠性。携带ＴＨ基因的ＰＣＭＶＴＨ质粒以ＬＩＰＯ－ＦＥＣＴＩＮ介导,在培养的原代骨骼肌细胞中高效表达。本研究为进一步用转基因的细胞植入脑内以治疗巴金森氏病打下一定基础。     

雌性斑马鱼暴露于环境剂量三唑磷对亲代生殖和氧化应激及子代胚胎发育的影响

三唑磷作为一种广泛使用的有机磷杀虫剂,该药物在自然水体中的残留可对非靶标生物产生潜在威胁,文章旨在探究三唑磷对斑马鱼的毒性效应。研究将3月龄雌性斑马鱼(Danio rerio)持续暴露于环境相关浓度的三唑磷(10μg/L) 21d,然后与健康雄鱼自然受精产卵;通过测定雌鱼生殖力、亲代与子代的氧化应激及子代胚胎发育相关指标,评估三唑磷对亲代雌鱼及其子代的毒性效应。主要研究结果:亲代雌鱼经10μg/L三唑磷暴露后,产卵量显著提高(P<0.05),肝脏内乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)活性显著降低(P<0.05),丙二醛(MDA)含量显著增加(P<0.05),超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)、谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GST)和羧酸酯酶(CarE)活性均显著增强(P<0.05);所产子代胚胎受精率、受精卵直径、胚胎心率和初孵仔鱼体长均显著降低(P<0.05),仔鱼畸形率显著增加(P<0.05),孵化率无显著性差异;仔鱼AChE与SOD活性呈下降趋势但差异不显著, MDA含量显著增加(P<0.05), GPx与GST活性显著降低(P<0...

The first intron of rice EPSP synthase enhances expression of foreign gene

The first intron (EPI) of rice 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase gene was isolated by PCR from one clone with genomic EPSP synthase gene. Sequence analysis showed that the first intron is 704 bp in length with 36.2% G+C content. To investigate its effect on expression of foreign gene, we inserted the first intron between CaMV35S promoter and β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. The transient expression results showed that GUS could be expressed effectively with EPI. The GUS activity in transgenic tobacco shows that the EPI can greatly enhance the expression level of β-glucuronidase (P < 0.01) compared with transgenic tobacco without the first intron, and 3-to 6-fold increase in GUS activity in some transgenic tobaccos. Northern blot indicated the first intron was spliced from GUS pre-mRNA, and the steady-state mRNA levels of GUS with EPI in transgenic tobaccos were higher than that in transgenic tobacco without EPI, which suggested that the first intron of EPSP was a non-translated intron.

大豆Kunitz型胰蛋白酶抑制剂基因的分离及其在抗虫植物基因工程中的 …

大豆Ｋｕｎｉｚ型胰蛋白酶抑制剂属于丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂,具有抗虫特性。从未成熟的大豆子叶中提取总ＲＮＡ,然后转录成单链ｃＤＮＡ,以此为模板,用ＰＣＲ方法扩增出大豆Ｋｕｎｉｔｚ型胰蛋白酶抑制剂基因,并克隆到ｐＢｌｕｅｓｃｒｉｐｔ ＫＳ的ＳｍａⅠ位点上。序列分析表明：克隆片段大小为６６３ｂｐ,包含了基因完整的编码序列。     

金丝猴拍摄记

金丝猴是我国特有的珍稀动物。由于分布范围小,种群数量少,被列为国家一级重点保护动物。神农架保护区的金丝猴属川金丝猴,它披着一身金色艳丽的长毛,长着一对蓝宝石般的眼睛,机敏灵活,十分招人喜爱。它们象大山的精灵,常年生活在海拔1800-2700米左右的林莽之中,游人一般很少能见到它们的踪影。保护区的朋友告诉我,拍摄金丝猴
