野生二粒小麦α-淀粉酶抑制因子编码基因序列分析

对3份野生二粒小麦(Triticum dicoccoides)材料的抗虫24 kDaα-淀粉酶抑制因子编码基因进行分离克隆,得到72个24 kDaα-淀粉酶抑制因子基因,并进行序列分析。结果发现,α-淀粉酶抑制因子在野生二粒小麦中以多拷贝形式存在,经卡方检验初步推断野生二粒小麦中的α-淀粉酶抑制因子成熟蛋白编码基因序列变异类型在供试材料间无显著差异。序列分析表明,24 kDaα-淀粉酶抑制因子成熟蛋白编码基因序列无论在野生二粒小麦种内还是与小麦属的其他物种之间,都具有很高的一致性,说明该基因在进化过程中十分保守。     

Effects of soil properties and trace metals on urease activities of calcareous soils

A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between urease activity and some physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of soils from central Iran. Inhibitory effects of Cr, Cd, and Pb on urease activity were also studied. Results indicated that no significant difference was observed between urease activity of field-moist and air-dried soils. Soil organic C and total N correlated highly significantly with urease activity, with r values of 0.899*** and 0.797***, respectively. There was also a significant correlation between urease activity and the number of bacteria grown on urea-agar media, with r value of 0.470*. A significant negative correlation (r =–0.492*) was observed between urease activity and electrical conductivity of saturation paste extracts. There were no significant correlations between urease activity and soil textural properties, pH, calcium carbonate equivalent, cation exchange capacity, and populations of soil bacteria on nutrient agar and population of soil fungi on potato dextrose agar. Both Cd and Pb inhibited urease activity to a similar extent and to a greater extent than did Cr.     

家蚕胰凝乳蛋白酶抑制剂基因SCI-SB的原核表达、纯化及活性检测

为进一步研究家蚕胰凝乳蛋白酶抑制剂基因SCI-SB的功能和作用机理,利用RT-PCR技术,从家蚕总RNA中扩增到家蚕SCI-SB基因片段,构建了含有GST标签的融合表达质粒pGEX4T-1-SCI-SB。采用pGEX融合蛋白表达系统,在大肠杆菌BL21中得到以包涵体形式存在的重组GST融合蛋白质,表达量可占菌体蛋白的15%。将包涵体变性、复性处理以后,进一步利用GSTTrapFF亲合层析一步获得了重组蛋白。将该重组蛋白免疫新西兰纯种大白兔,获得效价高的多克隆抗体。胰凝乳蛋白酶活性抑制实验结果表明该重组蛋白具有一定的酶活抑制作用。     

豇豆胰蛋白酶抑制剂和硫氧还蛋白的融合表达和活性测定

采用融合蛋白表达技术，通过1个人工设计合成的柔性接头，将豇豆胰蛋白酶抑制剂(cowpea trypsin inhibitor,CpTI)基因与表达载体上的硫氧还蛋白(thioredoxin )基因连接，构建了融合表达载体。将表达载体转入大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli )GI724，通过色氨酸诱导获得高效表达，产物以可溶状态存在。活性测定显示，融合蛋白具有抑制胰蛋白酶的生物学活性。以大豆胰蛋白酶抑制剂为参照，将融合蛋白热处理后进行活性测定，发现它具有较好的热稳定性。将肠激酶(enterokinase)与融合蛋白在37 ℃作用16 h，可获得切掉thioredoxin的CpTI蛋白。活性测定显示，切除thioredoxin后CpTI的胰蛋白酶抑制活性比同样处理条件下的thioredoxin-CpTI明显下降，比活力仅为原来的80%，说明融合蛋白具有更高的稳定性。研究结果为thioredoxin-CpTI作为一种生物农药的应用奠定了基础。     

土壤类型对凉山烤烟品质的影响

以云烟87为材料,在盐源烟区选取5种不同类型土壤进行烤烟大田栽培,研究了四川凉山土壤类型对烤烟主要化学成分、中性致香物质及内在质量的影响。结果表明,参试土壤钙、镁含量较丰富,明显缺氯;紫色土、红壤、黄壤、沉积土等明显缺钾和氮;水稻土和沉积土缺磷。不同土壤烤后烟叶化学成分有差异,水稻土和紫色土上烤后烟叶烟碱、总氮含量较高,糖含量较低,基本符合优质烟叶质量标准;红壤、紫色土和黄壤上烤后烟叶钾含量相对较高,接近优质烟叶钾含量;沉积土、水稻土和红壤上烤后烟叶氯含量较高,接近优质烟叶氯含量。不同土壤烤后烟叶致香物质含量差异较大,黄壤和红壤上烤后烟叶苯丙氨酸类降解产物含量较高;黄壤、红壤和水稻土上烤后烟叶类西柏烷类产物含量较高;水稻土、紫色土和红壤上烤后烟叶质体色素降解产物含量及致香成分总量较高。不同土壤烤后烟叶内在质量存在一定的差异,由高到低对应的植烟土壤依次为:紫色土、红壤、黄壤、沉积土、水稻土。     

Studies on amylase inhibitors in some Egyptian legume seeds

Amylase inhibitor activity was determined in four legume seeds which are widely consumed in Egypt. The effect of dehulling, heat treatment, soaking and germination were also assessed. The results showed that faba bean contained the highest activity of amylase inhibitor followed by cowpea, lentils, then chickpea. Dehulling resulted in raising the amylase inhibitor activities in all samples investigated, while heat treatment and cooking lowered it. Soaking for 10 h and germination eliminated completely the inhibitor from all samples.     

钼膦系缓蚀剂协同效应的分析
