地衣芽胞杆菌FLP/FRT基因编辑系统的构建及验证

地衣芽胞杆菌有效的基因编辑工具有限,为了拓展和丰富其基因编辑手段,在地衣芽胞杆菌中构建一个抗性标记可重复使用的FLP/FRT基因编辑系统,并通过敲除α-淀粉酶基因amyL、蛋白酶基因aprE及敲入外源透明颤菌血红蛋白基因vgb对该系统进行初步验证。首先以温敏质粒pNZT1为载体分别构建amyL和aprE基因敲除质粒pNZTT-AFKF和pNZTT-EFKF,两个敲除质粒各自包含针对目标基因的同源臂、抗性基因及同向的FRT位点;将敲除质粒转化地衣芽胞杆菌并经过两次同源交换过程实现目标基因的敲除;最后导入一个FLP重组酶表达质粒通过FLP/FRT系统的重组作用介导抗性基因的回收。为进一步验证本系统的实用性及编辑效率,构建了包含透明颤菌血红蛋白编码基因vgb表达盒及基因组丙酮酸甲酸裂解酶编码基因pflB敲除盒的重组质粒pNZTK-PFTF-vgb,并以此进行外源基因vgb在基因组上的定向敲入。结果显示,成功敲除amyL及aprE并回收了抗性标记卡那霉素基因,敲除后淀粉酶活和蛋白酶活分别减少95.3%和80.4%;vgb基因成功整合入基因组pflB位点并回收了抗性标记四环素基因,并利用荧光定量PCR技术检测到vgb的整合表达。文中首次建立了一个适用于地衣芽胞杆菌的、抗性标记可重复使用的FLP/FRT基因编辑系统,并进行了基因敲除及基因敲入验证,为地衣芽胞杆菌遗传改造提供了良好的方法参考。

Multidentate Coordination Induced Crystal Growth Regulation and Trap Passivation Enables over 24% Efficiency in Perovskite Solar Cells

Crystal growth regulation has become an effective solution to reduce the defects at grain boundaries (GBs) and surfaces of perovskite films for better photovoltaic performances. Oxime acid materials are maturely used as selective collectors in the flotation separation of oxide minerals. Such materials, showing a strong coordination effect and high selectivity with lead, may have great potential in controlling the crystal growth and passivating the defect of perovskite film, which are rarely applied in perovskite solar cells (PerSCs). Herein, an oxime acid-based material with multi-coordination sites, ethyl 2-(2-aminothiazole-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetate (EHA), is incorporated into the PbI₂ precursor solution to fabricate high-performance PerSCs using a two-step method. The multidentate coordination effect of EHA can link and integrate the PbI₂ colloidal clusters to achieve pre-aggregation in the PbI₂ precursor solution, facilitating the sequent crystal growth progress of perovskite film. Meanwhile, EHA can connect grains and fill GBs, which is favorable for charge transfer and passivating both Pb-I anti-site and iodine vacancy defects. As a result, the optimal devices show an enhanced efficiency of 24.1% and excellent humidity and thermal stability. This work affords a promising strategy to fabricate efficient and stable PerSCs via multidentate coordination-induced crystallization control and GB passivation.     

Rice yellow stunt virus activates polyamine biosynthesis to promote viral propagation in insect vectors by disrupting ornithine decarboxylase antienzyme function

Intracellular polyamines(putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) have emerged as important molecules for viral infection;however, how viruses activate polyamines biosynthesis to promote viral infection remains unclear. Ornithine decarboxylase 1(ODC1) and its antienzyme 1(OAZ1) are major regulators of polyamine biosynthesis in animal cells. Here, we report that rice yellow stunt virus(RYSV), a plant rhabdovirus, could activate putrescine biosynthesis in leafhoppers to promote viral propagation by inhibiting OAZ1 expression. We observed that the reduction of putrescine biosynthesis by treatment with difluormethylornithine(DFMO), a specific nontoxic inhibitor of ODC1, or with in vitro synthesized dsRNAs targeting ODC1 mRNA could inhibit viral infection. In contrast, the supplement of putrescine or the increase of putrescine biosynthesis by treatment with ds RNAs targeting OAZ1 mRNA could facilitate viral infection. We further determined that both RYSV matrix protein M and ODC1 directly bind to the ODC-binding domain at the C-terminus of OAZ1. Thus, viral propagation in leafhoppers would decrease the ability of OAZ1 to target and mediate the degradation of ODC1, which finally activates putrescine production to benefit viral propagation. This work reveals that polyamine-metabolizing enzymes are directly exploited by a vector-borne virus to increase polyamine production, thereby facilitating viral infection in insect vectors.

通过2000～2002年进行菠萝-甘蔗轮作田间试验,研究了菠萝、甘蔗轮作对甘蔗土壤生态的影响。结果表明：菠萝甘蔗轮作田与甘蔗连作田比较,能明显地改善土壤的通气和蓄水性,加速速效性养分的释放;增强土壤酶活性;增加土壤微生物总量(一般好气性细菌、真菌、放线菌);有益的氨化细菌和硝化细菌成倍增加,而无益的厌氧性细菌、反硝化细菌则受到抑制;固氮菌数量小且变化不大。菠萝-甘蔗轮作对甘蔗土壤生态环境的改善其实质在于：菠萝、甘蔗轮作后,由于其作物种类的不同导致土壤结构的改善和土壤微生物种类和数量增多,土壤生物活性增强,并导致土壤速效养分的增加。     

Magnetophoretic position detection for multiplexed immunoassay using colored microspheres in a microchannel

This paper demonstrates a new magnetophoretic position detection method for multiplexed immunoassay using colored microspheres as an encoding tool in a microchannel. Colored microspheres conjugated with respective capture molecules are incubated with a mixture of target analytes, followed by reaction with the probe molecules which had been conjugated with superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SMNPs). Under the magnetic field gradient, the resulting microspheres are deflected from their focused streamlines in a microchannel, and respective colored microspheres are detected using color charge-coupled device (CCD) in a specific detection region of the microchannel. The color and position of respective colored microspheres are automatically decoded and analyzed by MATLAB program, and the position was correlated with the concentration of corresponding target analytes. As a proof-of-concept, we attempted to assay simultaneously three types of biotinylated immunoglobuline Gs (IgGs), such as goat, rabbit and mouse IgGs, using colored microspheres (red, yellow and blue, respectively). As the capture molecules, corresponding anti-IgGs were employed and target analytes were probed using streptavidin-modified superparamagnetic nanoparticles. As a result, three analytes were simultaneously assayed using colored microspheres with high accuracy, and detection limits of goat IgG, rabbit IgG and mouse IgG were estimated to be 10.9, 30.6 and 12.1fM, respectively. In addition, with adjustment of the flow rate and detection zone, the dynamic range could be controlled by more than one order of magnitude.
