Induction of APOBEC3G ubiquitination and degradation by an HIV-1 Vif-Cul5-SCF complex

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) Vif is essential for viral evasion of host antiviral factor CEM15/APOBEC3G. We report that Vif interacts with cellular proteins Cul5, elongins B and C, and Rbx1 to form an Skp1-cullin-F-box (SCF)-like complex. The ability of Vif to suppress antiviral activity of APOBEC3G was specifically dependent on Cul5-SCF function, allowing Vif to interact with APOBEC3G and induce its ubiquitination and degradation. A Vif mutant that interacted with APOBEC3G but not with Cul5-SCF was functionally inactive. The Cul5-SCF was also required for Vif function in distantly related simian immunodeficiency virus mac. These results indicate that the conserved Cul5-SCF pathway used by Vif is a potential target for antiviral development.     

猪瘟病毒抗原胶体金快速检测试纸的研究

应用胶体金标记技术(Immunogold Labelling Technique)与免疫层析技术相结合,在玻璃纤维膜、硝酸纤维膜的检测线(T)和对照线(C)上分别喷上胶体金与猪瘟(CSF)单克隆抗体(Ab2)的偶联物、CSF单克隆抗体(Ab2)和羊抗鼠IgG多克隆抗体,制成检测CSF抗原的"猪瘟抗原胶体金快速检测试纸".用该试纸检测"猪瘟弱毒活疫苗"和猪瘟脾淋弱毒苗均显阳性,而对猪源性的其它病毒、细菌抗原均显阴性.经临床测试,该试纸具有微量、特异、快速、简便和结果容易判定的优点,可作为检测猪瘟抗原的一种新试剂.

Nitrogen balance in barrows fed low-protein diets supplemented with essential amino acids

This study was conducted to determine the effect of addition of essential amino acids (EAA) to low-protein diets on N balance in barrows. Thirty barrows (Duroc × Yorkshire) with an initial BW of 36 kg were fed 5 corn- and soybean meal-based diets containing 13.6 to 18.2% crude protein (CP) for 10 d in a randomized complete block design. The 18.2% CP diet was formulated without addition of EAA (Lys, Met or Thr). The other diets contained 13.6 to 16.5% CP and were supplemented with EAA to provide 0.83% true digestible lysine equal to that in the 18.2% CP diet. Fecal, urinary, and total N excretion as well as N retention (g/d) decreased with decreasing dietary CP level (P < 0.01). The apparent digestibility of N was almost the same for the 18.2 and 16.5 CP diets, but the value was 2% higher (P = 0.07) than that for the 13.6% CP diet. These findings indicate that, compared with the 18.2% CP diets, supplementation with three EAA to the lowest-protein diets (13.6 CP) is inadequate for maximum intestinal protein digestion, amino acid absorption, or tissue protein deposition in growing barrows.     

Toxicity and biochemical action of amicarthiazol on citrus canker pathogen, Xanthomonas citri ex Hasse

Inhibitory effects of amicarthiazol, in vitro, against the growth of seven plant bacterial pathogens and its biochemical actions on Xanthomonas citri were investigated. The growth of Erwinia carotovora, Ralstonia solanacearum, and Pseudomonas syringe pv. syringae was not sensitive to amicarthiazol whilst Xanthomonads were all strongly inhibited in NB liquid medium; EC₅₀ of X. citri was 2.63 μg ml⁻¹ and the effectiveness of amicarthiazol depended on the timing of application. The inhibitions on the secretion of gross EPS and gross EPR as well as the activities of amylase, cellulase, and pectase of X. citri were increased with the concentrations of amicarthiazol, whereas the conductivities of the extracellular product suspensions and the protease activity were somewhat accelerated by the concentration less than 10 or 20 μg ml⁻¹ and inhibited only at higher concentration. EPS which was purified from X. citri showed obvious antagonistic effects on the inhibition of amicarthiazol, but not on the inhibition of Cu(OH)₂. The endogenous respirations and the activity of succinic dehydrogenase of X. citri were also inhibited and the inhibitions were increased with the toxic concentrations. Furthermore, the potential induced physiological adaptability of X. citri to amicarthiazol and the comparison with Cu(OH)₂ and carboxin were also discussed.     

土壤容重对生姜生长及产量和品质的影响

以莱芜大姜为试材,研究了容重分别为1.49(CK)、1.36(T1)、1.20(T2)g·cm-3的3种土壤对生姜生长及产量、品质的影响。结果表明,容重较小的土壤,其孔隙度较大,最大持水量较高,有利于生姜植株的生长和产量的提高。生长末期T2的株高、茎粗、分枝数和叶片数分别比CK增加17.9%、14.0%、35.2%和36.1%,单株根、茎、叶、根茎鲜质量分别比CK提高43.3%、24.4%、28.1%和35.2%,收获时CK、T1、T2的产量分别为2534.1、3017.7和3326.8kg·(667m2)-1,处理间差异极显著。此外,生姜根茎干物质、淀粉及挥发油含量随土壤容重降低而降低,而蛋白质、游离氨基酸则相反,粗纤维、可溶性糖及VC含量则基本不受土壤容重的影响。
