蜜蜂（Apis）苹果酸脱氢酶同工酶的研究进展

苹果酸脱氢酶（MDH）是糖代谢中重要的酶。在西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera L.）中，MDH分为3个区带MDHⅠ、MDHⅡ和MDH Ⅲ。不同级型和不同发育阶段，MDHⅠ和MDH Ⅲ变化不大；MDHⅡ呈现多态现象，由a、b、c3个等位基因编码。东方蜜蜂（A.cerana F.）的MDH由S、F两个等位基因编码，也有报道它是单态性的。MDH在西方蜜蜂研究中应用较多，主要有处女王交配次数；蜂群中的劳动分工；蜜蜂种群遗传组成分析等。MDH和分子生物学的结合研究势必将推动蜜蜂研究的深入和发展。Research Progress in Malate Dehydrogenase(MDH) of HoneybeesLIU Yan-he1，ZHANG Chuan-xi1，XU Bao-hua2,3,CHEN Sheng-lu11.Institute of Applied Entomology,Zhejiang University,Hangzhou 310029,China;2.College of Animal Science,Zhejiang University,Hangzhou 310029,China;3.College of Animal Sciences,Shandong Agricaltural University,Taian 271018,ChinaAbstract:Malate dehydrogenase(MDH) is an important enzyme in glycometabolism.MDH of Apis mellifera showed three enzyme active zones,MDHⅠ,MDHⅡand MDHⅢ.MDHⅠand MDHⅢ maintained relative stability in different castes and developmental phases,but MDHⅡwas polymorphic,and controlled by three alleles,a,b and c.MDH of Apis cerana was coded by S and F alleles,but some authors reported it is monomorphic.MDH was applied to the studies of A.mellifera,which included several aspects as follows:the number of queen matings,labor division in honeybee societies,the analysis of genetic constitution in honeybee populations and so on.The combination of both MDH and molecular biology will certainly promote honeybee studies.Key words：honeybees;malate dehydrogenase(MDH)

Research Progress in Malate Dehydrogenase(MDH) of Honeybees

Malate dehydrogenase(MDH) is an important enzyme in glycometabolism. MDH of Apis mellifera showed three enzyme active zones,MDH I ,MDHH and MDH]fl. MDH I and MDHDI maintained relative stability in different castes and developmental phases, but MDH H was polymorphic, and controlled by three alleles, a, b and c. MDH of Apis cerana was coded by S and F alleles, but some authors reported it is monomorphic. MDH was applied to the studies of A. mellifera, which included several aspects as follows: the number of queen matings, labor division in honeybee societies, the analysis of genetic constitution in honeybee populations and so on. The combination of both MDH and molecular biology will certainly promote honeybee studies.
