大肠杆菌的一株抗苯乙醇的dnaB突变型

通过硫酸二乙酯诱变,选得一株抗苯乙醇的DNA复制突变型FD105。从温度和氨基酸饥饿对DNA残余合成的影响,以及在限制温度中噬菌体增殖情况可以看到,FD105是DNA复制链延长突变型。我们证实了温度敏感和苯乙醇抗性是同一基因突变的结果。这一基因被定位在dnaB座位。已有的研究表明苯乙醇的作用部位是细胞膜,链延长dnaB突变型同时抗苯乙醇,这是链延长与膜有关的一个旁证。     

recA基因通过同源重组途径参与由整合质粒发动的大肠杆菌染色体复制

我们在前文中报道由整合的F'质粒所发动的大肠杆菌染色体的复制依赖于recA基因。本文报道有关recA、recB、recC以及lexA等在染色体复制中的作用,实验结果说明,recA基因通过同源重组途径而不是通过SOS途径参与复制,而且recA基因和Chi热点无关。实验结果还说明,RecBC酶的依赖于ATP的双链DNA外切核酸酶活性和recA基因的作用无关。     

利用标记基因选配褐壳蛋鸡配套杂交亲本

应用本实验室研制的抗鸡红细胞抗原单价血清(4个位点, 14个等位基因)和DNA指纹技术,对我们组配成功的一个褐壳蛋鸡配套系统的5个亲本进行了群体遗传学分析。结果表明,由标记基因测定所提供的亲本品系遗传差异的大小, 与这些品系实际杂交效果的优劣相一致,证实了标记辅助选种方法有的效性。     

罗非鱼TRAF3基因的表达及功能研究

肿瘤坏死因子受体(TNFR)相关因子3(TRAF3)是多种免疫途径中的关键调控因子。从尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)中克隆获得了TRAF3基因, 命名为OnTRAF3(GeneBank No. MN258118), 该基因包含1个环指结构域、1个锌指结构域、1个卷曲螺旋和MATH结构域。多序列比对表明, OnTRAF3与其他已知的TRAF3蛋白具有高度的相似性, 尤其是MATH结构域。实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)分析显示, OnTRAF3在各组织中广泛分布, 且在脑、皮肤、肠和鳃中表达量较高。在无乳链球菌诱导后, 多个组织中的OnTRAF3表达量出现了不同程度的上调, 说明OnTRAF3参与了罗非鱼的抗菌免疫应答。亚细胞定位实验显示, OnTRAF3分布在HEK293的细胞质和细胞核中。此外, 荧光素酶报告基因实验结果显示, 野生型(WT)OnTRAF3可显著激活NF-κB信号, 而coiled-coil和MATH 结构域缺失后, 依然能够显著激活NF-κB 活性, 而RING 和Zinc缺失后, 该激活作用则明显减弱, 表明RING 和Zinc 结构域是OnTRAF3在免疫信号通路中行使功能的关键结构域。研究为探索TRAF3在罗非鱼免疫应答中的功能提供了重要的基础。     

The Impact of Chlorophyll-Retention Mutations,d1d2 and cyt-G1, during Embryogeny in Soybean

The ultrastructural, physiological, and molecular changes in developing and mature seeds were monitored in a control line (Glycine max [L.] Merr., cv Clark) that exhibited seed degreening and two mutant lines (d1d2 and cyt-G1) that retained chlorophyll upon seed maturation. Ultrastructural studies showed that the control line had no internal membranes, whereas stacked thylakoid membranes were detected in the green seed from the mutant lines. Pigment analyses indicated that total chlorophyll was lowest in the mature seeds of the control line. Mature d1d2 and cyt-G1 seed had elevated Chl a and Chl b levels, respectively. In both control and mutant lines, Lhcb1, Lhcb2, and RbcS mRNAs were abundant in embryos prior to cotyledon filling, declined after the onset of storage protein accumulation, and were barely detectable or undetectable in all later stages of seed development. Therefore, the chlorophyll-retention phenotype must be a result of the alteration of a process that occurs after translation of photosynthesis-related mRNAs to stabilize apoprotein and pigment levels. Furthermore, different elements controlling either the synthesis or turnover of Chl a and Chl b must be impaired in the d1d2 and cyt-G1 lines. No reproducible differences in total leaf, embryonic, and chloroplast protein profiles and plastid DNAs could be correlated with the mutations that induced chlorophyll retention.     

嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌中转座因子IS5376的转座行为研究

ＩＳ５３７６和ＩＳ５３７７是在嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌（Ｂａｃｉｌｕｓｓｔｅａｒｏｔｈｅｒｍｏｐｈｉｌｕｓ）中发现的两个转座因子。随机取样分析的结果说明,ＩＳ５３７６由ＣＵ２１染色体向质粒ｐＦＤＣ５和ｐＦＤＣ１２的转座受温度的影响,而ＩＳ５３７７则不。温度影响的原因还不清楚,从现有证据看来,这由ＩＳ５３７６本身的性质所决定。另外,测得ＩＳ５３７６的转座作用有一定程度的专一性,还测得转座后所造成的目标序列的顺向重复为４或５ｂｐ。     

OSMRβ mutants enhance basal keratinocyte differentiation via inactivation of the STAT5/KLF7 axis in PLCA patients

Dear Editor, Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA) is a skin-limited disorder characterized by deposition of amyloid material in the superficial dermis.According to clinical characteristics,PLCA is divided into lichen,macular,and nodular amyloidosis.PLCA is found worldwide but has a higher incidence in South America and Southeast Asia,such as in Brazil and China (Chang et al.,2014;Tey et al.,2016).
