北青龙衣褐变机制的研究

北青龙衣在由鲜品到干品的贮藏期间会出现失水、颜色变深等褐变现象。研究该褐变过程发生的机制,为控制褐变、提高药材的稳定性提供试验依据。采用北青龙衣鲜果果皮,4℃低温贮藏,研究其褐变度(browning degree,BD)、多酚氧化酶(polyphenol oxidase,PPO)、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(phenylalanine ammonialyase,PAL)、过氧化物酶(peroxidase,POD)活性变化、丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)、总多酚(total polyphenols,TP)、还原糖含量及维生素C(Vitamin C,VC)含量变化。试验数据显示果皮颜色变深、TP含量下降、PPO活性降低、PAL活性上升、SOD和POD活性先上升后下降、MDA含量升高、还原糖和VC含量下降。BD与PPO、SOD、POD活性和TP含量呈显著负相关,与PAL活性呈显著正相关,与VC和还原糖无显著相关性。北青龙衣贮藏过程中发生了酶促褐变和非酶褐变,且以酶促褐变为主,PPO在酶促褐变中可能起主要作用。     

油桐LEC1基因的cDNA克隆与序列分析

为了解LEC1(Leafy Cotyledon 1)基因对油桐油脂合成过程的调控机理,以油桐种仁转录组数据库中基因的部分c DNA序列为基础,采用RT-PCR技术从油桐种子中克隆LEC1基因的全长c DNA,并对其进行序列分析。油桐LEC1基因全长c DNA为1 152 bp,编码区为729 bp(142~870),编码243个氨基酸,5′端非编码区和3′端非编码区分别为141 bp和263 bp。该基因编码蛋白质的相对分子质量为27 025.4 Da,理论等电点为6.97;蛋白二级结构以不规则卷曲和α螺旋为主,是不具有跨膜结构的膜外蛋白。经对比发现,油桐LEC1具有典型的HAP3结构特点,在不保守的N端和C端中间有1个十分保守的结构域,与拟南芥、玉米、麻风树、黄连木等的LEC1氨基酸序列高度同源。     

鸡白细胞介素2的克隆及其序列分析

旨在从分子生物学角度进一步研究鸡免疫刺激因子白细胞介素2(IL-2),探究IL-2蛋白结构。根据GenBank发表的IL-2序列设计引物扩增IL-2基因,将其克隆到p GM-T载体后进行鉴定,鉴定正确的pT-IL-2重组质粒,然后对其进行序列分析。应用生物信息学软件对IL-2序列进行跨膜区、磷酸化位点、氨基酸序列、开放阅读框进行分析和IL-2蛋白的三级结构进行预测。核苷酸序列测定结果表明:IL-2基因片段为430 bp,编码143个氨基酸。生物信息学分析结果表明:本实验获得的IL-2基因编码的蛋白质中含有1个丝氨酸和3个苏氨酸,这可能成为蛋白激酶磷酸化的位点。IL-2蛋白可能在5~28位含有跨膜区。其蛋白二级、三级结构预测结果显示其属于亲水性蛋白,多为α-螺旋、β-转角和N端无规卷曲结构。该结果为IL-2的分子生物学探究奠定了基础。

Abstract：

In an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanism for resistance of black spot disease in poplar,gene expression profiles in leaves of Populus deltoides'Lus'(I-69/55)and P.euramericana'I-45/51',which were inoculated with the pathogen Marssonina brunnea f.sp.brunnea,were analyzed based on expressed sequence tags (ESTs).A total of 20 023 valid ESTs from the 5'terminal ends derived from corresponding cDNA libraries of the two poplar species were sequenced.Cluster analysis of the 20 023 sequences yielded 10 816 tentative unigenes,including 3 734 contigs and 7 082 singletons.All tentative unigenes were classified by Gene Ontology functional categories.To find resistance-associated candidate genes and locate them on poplar genome,330 unigenes was chosen from 8 853 annotated tentative unigenes,and their BLAST alignment was conducted with Populus trichocarpa assembly,1 77 related candidate resistant genes were found,and they presented in 282 unigenes.Among these genes,there were 1 35 genes located on 18 different linkage groups of poplar genome,and 42 genes located on the different scaffolds.This study supplied a resource of candidate genes for further exploring the genetic mechanism for the host horizontal resistance to the pathogen Marssonina brunnea at the whole genome range,and provided important information for further gene discovery.     

Generation and analysis of expressed sequence tag sequences from a soft‐seeded pomegranate cDNA library

The cultivation of soft‐seeded pomegranate is an important direction in pomegranate breeding. To comprehensively understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of soft‐seeded pomegranate (Punica granatum. var. Hongmanaozi), we established an expressed sequence tag (EST) resource. Two thousand valid sequences were generated, from which 907 unigenes were obtained after initial assembly using the clustalx program. Among these unigenes, 51 showed no similarity to any protein in the public databases, 433 matched with proteins of unknown function, and 423 matched with proteins of known or putative functions. The 423 unigenes were further classified into 13 categories. Among these categories, protein synthesis, cell structure, protein destination and storage, secondary metabolism, signal transduction and transporters accounted for 8%, 8%, 4%, 7%, 6% and 17%, respectively. We also successfully developed 10 highly polymorphic expressed sequence tag‐simple sequence repeat (EST‐SSR) markers for pomegranate. The results provide a new tool for future activities in pomegranate breeding.

Sequence Analysis and Prokaryotic Expression of NSP1 Gene of Bovine Rotavirus UK Strain

Rotavirus is a major cause of acute diarrhea in both many kinds of young animals and children under 5 years old.Rotavirus NSP1, a 55 ku RNA binding protein, is the product of gene 5, which can subvert innate immune responses and be one of virulent determinant factors.According to the sequence in GenBank, specific primers targeting to NSP1 gene were designed and the gene was amplified by RT-PCR, following by being cloned into the pET-28a(+) vector.It showed that the full length of NSP1 gene was 1 473 bp, encoding 491 amino acids.The NSP1 shared the highest identity with WC3 strain.The recombinant protein was induced in E.coli Rosetta(DE3) by IPTG and was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.The results revealed that NSP1 recombinant protein existed in the form of inclusion body with the molecular weight of 55 ku.The purified recombinant protein could be recognized by His-tag antibody.This study laid the foundation for further research on the relationship between the intracytoplasmic location of NSP1 protein and its activity.
