海南山蛭对土壤湿度和气温的适应

在室内以土壤湿度梯度作为海南山蛭Haemadipsa hainana的栖息试验表明,海南山蛭栖息于含水量的15.1％－16.77％水分的土壤表面;野外调查表明,海南岛橡胶林内海南山蛭栖息于16.54％－17.66％含水量的土壤表面;热带雨林者栖息于19.92%-25.73%含水量的土壤,室内实验表明,海南山蛭爬向30－35℃温度范围,占试验蛭数79.15％,在8－9℃不活动,10℃能山蛭活动,随温度升高活动蛭数增加,而15℃试验蛭答部活动,活动蛭数与温度关系为Y－18.6Z-172.3,R-0.976,P=0.01。在橡胶林内8－9℃山蛭不活动;10℃开始有山蛭活动,且随温度升高活动蛭数增加,当17℃时所有山蛭活动,活动蛭数与温度关系Y＝4.73X-3.97,R=0.93,P=0.1。首次使用土壤湿度梯度测定山蛭对土壤湿度的要求,这是一个新的有普遍意义的方法,并讨论了海南山蛭对土壤湿度气温的适应。     

The cDNA and genomic DNA organization of a novel toxin SHT-I from spider Ornithoctonus huwena

Spider venoms are complex mixtures of neurotoxicpeptides, proteins and low molecular mass organicmolecules. Their neurotoxic activity is due to the interac-tion of the venom components with cellular receptors, inparticular ion channels. Spider venoms have…     

A defensin‐like antimicrobial peptide from the venoms of spider,Ornithoctonus hainana

The defensin‐like antimicrobial peptides have been characterized from various other arthropods including insects, scorpions, and ticks. But no natural spider defensin‐like antimicrobial peptides have ever been isolated from spiders, except couple of cDNA and DNA sequences of five spider species revealed by previous genomic study. In this work, a defensin‐like antimicrobial peptide named Oh‐defensin was purified and characterized from the venoms of the spider, Ornithoctonus hainana. Oh‐defensin is composed of 52 amino acid (aa) residues including six Cys residues that possibly form three disulfide bridges. Its aa sequence is MLCKLSMFGAVLGV PACAIDCLPMGKTGGSCEGGVCGCRKLTFKILWDKKFG. By BLAST search, Oh‐defensin showed significant sequence similarity to other arthropod antimicrobial peptides of the defensin family. Oh‐defensin exerted potent antimicrobial activities against tested microorganisms including Gram‐positive bacteria, Gram‐negative bacteria, and fungi. The cDNA encoding Oh‐defensin precursor was also cloned from the cDNA library of O. hainana. Copyright © 2011 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

山蛭基因组DNA的提取及其PCR扩增产物的分析

利用PCR技术从海南山蛭体内分离山蛭素（抗凝血蛋白）基因,首先需获得不带有山蛭体表色素且完整的山蛭基因组DNA,本试验通过结合使用SDS-蛋白酶裂解法和CTAB法,有效的去除了山蛭基因组DNA提取过程中难以去除的色素,得到的基因组DNA保持完整,无降解,以之作为模板,进行PCR扩增,获得一个长度约为237bp的特异性片段,此片段与印度山蛭蛭素的cDNA大小几乎一致。初步表明,这个序列没有内含子,而仅是海南山蛭蛭素的编码序列。     

海南山蛭种群数量动态与气象因素关系研究

在海南岛橡胶林内,每月观测海南山蛭Ｈａｅｍａｄｉｐｓａ ｈａｉｎａｎａ种群数量Ｂａ,用逐步回归分析方法研究了１０个气象因子对海南山６种数量的影响,结果表明,１）每年海南山蛭种群数量不同,６ａ间影响海南山蛭种群数量的主要气候因素是Ｘ１（月雨量）、Ｘ３（月雨日）和Ｘ５（月有露日数）;２）海南岛５～１０月份为雨季,海南山蛭这种群数量明显增大,影响山蛭种群数量的主要气候因素是Ｘ５和Ｘ１６（月最大风速和）和     

The Mitochondrial Sequences of Heptathela hangzhouensis and Ornithoctonus huwena Reveal Unique Gene Arrangements and Atypical tRNAs

We have sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of the spiders Heptathela hangzhouensis and Ornithoctonus huwena. Both genomes encode 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. H. hangzhouensis, a species of the suborder Mesothelae and a representative of the most basal clade of Araneae, possesses a gene order identical to that of Limulus polyphemus of Xiphosura. On the other hand, O. huwena, a representative of suborder Opisthothelae, infraorder Mygalomorphae, was found to have seven tRNA genes positioned differently from those of Limulus. The rrnL–trnL1–nad1 arrangement shared by the araneomorph families Salticidae, Nesticidae, and Linyphiidae and the mygalomorph family Theraphosidae is a putative synapomorphy joining the mygalomorph with the araneomorph. Between the two species examined, base compositions also differ significantly. The lengths of most protein-coding genes in H. hangzhouensis and O. huwena mtDNA are either identical to or slightly shorter than their Limulus counterparts. Usage of initiation and termination codons in these protein-coding genes seems to follow patterns conserved among most arthropod and some other metazoan mitochondrial genomes. The sequences of the 3 ends of rrnS and rrnL in the two species are similar to those reported for Limulus, and the entire genes are shortened by about 100–250 nucleotides with respect to Limulus. The lengths of most tRNA genes from the two species are distinctly shorter than those of Limulus and the sequences reveal unusual inferred tRNA secondary structures. Our finding provides new molecular evidence supporting that the suborder Mesothelae is basal to opisthothelids.Reviewing Editor Dr. Rafael Zardoya
