韩国研究人员利用转基因大肠杆菌生成汽油

2013年9月30日，韩国科学技术院（Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology，KAIST）宣布，其化学与生物分子工程学科的LeeSangYup教授率领的研究团队，采用基因重组技术对大肠杆菌脂肪酸代谢途径进行了再造，用这种转基因菌发酵生产短链（4～12个碳）烷烃，即汽油，每升发酵液可以成功生成580毫克汽油。

热应激时大鼠肺组织中β—肾上腺素受体的变化与膜磷...

To explore the relationship between the change of beta-adrenoceptor and the metabolism of phospholipids in lung tissue from acute heat stressed rats, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptors, the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), the content of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS), and membrane fluidity in lung tissue of normal and heat stressed rats were investigated. The relevant parameter values mentioned above were 479 +/- 94 fmol/mg protein, 78.5 +/- 8.2 U, 53.5 +/- 1.7 mg/g.wet. w. and 425.1 +/- 68.1 micrograms/g.wet. w. respectively. Whereas in the heat stressed rats with rectal temperature raised to 42 degrees C for 15 min, the Bmax of beta-adrenoceptor was decreased by 43% (P less than 0.01), the activity of PLA2 increased by 83% (P less than 0.01), the contents of PC and PS decreased by 50% and 47% (P less than 0.01) respectively. A lower membrane fluidity in lung tissue for heat stressed rats was also demonstrated. The results suggest that the decreased binding sites of beta-adrenoceptor in lung tissue of rat during hyperthermia may be contributed to the activation of PLA2, which then accelerated the catabolism of phospholipids such as PC and PS in the cell plasma membrane, with a consequent alteration of membrane fluidity.     

用基因克隆技术制造A蛋白

A蛋白(Protein A)原来是从致命性金黄色葡萄球菌的细胞外壳提取的。由于细菌的致病性,A蛋白的生产过程很不安全。最近,Repligen公司成功地用大肠杆菌表达了A蛋白的基因,并在该基因上接加了一个启动子,使产量提高。
