番茄果实成熟相关基因SlPEL和SlAPL的表达特性

分析27个代表番茄不同发育阶段和生物反应的组织特异性、含有152 635个独立EST数据库的数码表达,发现果胶裂解酶基因 (pectate lyase, SlPEL) 和番茄AP2 Like (SlAPL)的转录受果实成熟的调节。以授粉后不同发育时期的番茄(品种为美味樱桃)果实为试材, 用半定量PCR和荧光实时定量PCR分析SlPEL的表达模式,结果表明,授粉后12 d,其表达水平明显上升;授粉后16~18 d,达到第一个小高峰;28 d到最高峰;从28 d到完全成熟逐步下降到第一个小高峰的水平。SlAPL的表达模式与SlPEL类似,但其表达启动的时期迟于SlPEL。从授粉后25 d,SlAPL转录启动;授粉后28~32 d,其转录水平上升到第一个小高峰;39 d达到最高峰,以后到完全成熟略有下降。该研究也印证利用EST的数据库进行基因数码表达分析的可行性。     

水杨酸对黄芪愈伤组织代谢产物中几种E活性的影响

目的探讨水杨酸对黄芪愈伤组织代谢产物中几种E活性的影响.方法通过添加不同浓度的水杨酸（SA）处理黄芪愈伤组织,并从提取物中检测几种酶活性的变化.结果黄芪愈伤组织代谢产物中的过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）、多酚氧化酶（PPO）和苯丙氨解氨酶（PAL）的活性均随水杨酸（SA）体积质量和培养时间的改变而改变,随着SA浓度的增加可提高PAL,POD及PPO的活性,但抑制CAT的活性.结论 SA体积质量在0.01 mg/L时抑制CAT活性最明显;SA体积质量在0.1 mg/L和1 mg/L时POD和PPO活性最高,并且均在36 h出现最高峰.     

用于生物质酶解过程的纤维素酶研究进展

纤维素酶解效率是木质纤维素经济、高效生化转化的限制瓶颈。该文讨论了影响纤维素酶酶解经济性与高效性的多个要素,如:高滤纸酶活菌株的选育、发酵、酶解机理、酶解影响因素及酶解混合体系的优化等。该文研究表明,纤维二糖水解酶可能是决定发酵体系中滤纸酶活高低的关键单酶组分,同时,该酶可能也是预处理后生物质酶解体系中决定滤纸酶活效率的关键单酶组分。酶解过程中关键限速反应的认识及关键限制因素形成机制的揭示将成为纤维素酶生化转化研究的重点,这些机理机制的建立可为构建高比活力纤维素酶提供理论依据。

Phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase activity and ortho‐diphenolic content with regard to boron nutrition in sunflower leaves.

Homogenates were prepared from the leaves of hydroponically cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus, L.) under deficient, normal and toxic B conditions and the phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase activity together with the ortho‐diphenolic and micronutrient content were measured every week from one month to flowering

The restoration of enzymatic activity on the exogenous addition of borate “in vivo”; was also studied.

Both B toxicity and deficiency resulted in increased phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase activity in the homogenates

The toxicity effect was early and sustained and the deficiency effect late and transitory. “In vitro”; borate addition to the reaction mixture did not significantly change the phenylalanine‐ammonia‐lyase activity in the homogenates.

There was no statistical correlation between the phenylalanine‐ammonia‐lyase activity and any micronutrient content in leaves.

A high accumulation of ortho‐diphenolics appeared in B‐deficient leaves only after 28 days of differential culture and may be responsible for the drop in phenylalanine‐ammonia‐lyase activity noted at this time.     

New Benzoxazine Secondary Metabolites from an Arctic Actinomycete

Two new secondary metabolites, arcticoside (1) and C-1027 chromophore-V (2), were isolated along with C-1027 chromophore-III and fijiolides A and B (3–5) from a culture of an Arctic marine actinomycete Streptomyces strain. The chemical structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated through NMR, mass, UV, and IR spectroscopy. The hexose moieties in 1 were determined to be d-glucose from a combination of acid hydrolysis, derivatization, and gas chromatographic analyses. Arcticoside (1) and C-1027 chromophore-V (2), which have a benzoxazine ring, inhibited Candida albicans isocitrate lyase. Chromophore-V (2) exhibited significant cytotoxicity against breast carcinoma MDA-MB231 cells and colorectal carcinoma cells (line HCT-116), with IC₅₀ values of 0.9 and 2.7 μM, respectively.     

氟对茶叶品质成分代谢的的影响

通过盆栽试验研究氟了对茶树新梢生长和品质成分含量的影响。适量增加土壤氟水平能提高新梢产量,但在高氟水平下新梢产量明显下降。茶多酚、咖啡碱及儿茶素(EGCG等)的含量随土壤氟水平的增加而逐渐降低,高氟水平下新梢的游离氨基酸含量也显著下降,苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、谷氨酸合成酶(GOGAT)的活性也随土壤和茶树氟浓度的增加而下降,说明氟可能抑制茶树儿茶素的合成代谢和氮素代谢。上述结果表明,氟对茶树生长和品质成分的影响与氟水平有关,虽然低浓度氟对茶树生长有一定的促进作用,但高浓度氟抑制茶树生长和茶多酚、氨基酸等品质成分的代谢。     

Enhancement of Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase,Polyphenoloxidase, and Peroxidase in Cucumber Seedlings by Bemisia tabaci（Gennadius） （Hemiptera： Aleyrodidae） Infestation

In this study, the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase （PAL）, polyphenoloxidase （PPO）, and peroxidase （POD） were assayed in cucumber seedlings （Cucumis sativus L.） at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after they were infested by Bemisia tabaci （Gennadius） using spectrophotometric analysis. The results indicated that herbivore infestation increased the activities of PAL, PPO, and POD. The enzymes showed different activity levels at different times after the infestation. The PAL activity reached the first high peak by 23.1% at 6 h and the highest peak by 29.1% at 48 h compared to the control. The PPO activity reached the first high peak by 22.7% at 6 h and the highest peak by 52.6% at 24 h, and the POD activity reached the highest peak by 213.2% at 6 h and another higher peak value by 135.2% at 96 h. The results suggest that the enhanced activities of the enzymes may contribute to bioprotection of cucumber plants against B. tabaci infestation.
