乙酰羟酸合酶抑制剂类除草剂的植物抗性机制

乙酰羟酸合酶(AHAS)抑制剂类除草剂已被广泛用于农业生产,然而使用过程中可能对部分敏感农作物产生药害,因此创制对不同类别除草剂具有抗性的一系列作物新品种至关重要。本文将从AHAS抑制剂类除草剂的类别与特点、AHAS靶酶的特性及其在支链氨基酸合成中的作用、除草剂的靶标抗性与非靶标抗性机制等方面分析国内外研究现状与未来发展动态,以期为农作物除草剂抗性性状的遗传改良和开发应用提供参考。     

水稻抗咪唑啉酮类除草剂基因ALS功能标记的开发与应用

选育和利用抗除草剂水稻品种具有重要的生产实践意义。通过筛选水稻资源,发现了抗除草剂材料金粳818,其ALS基因编码区第1880位碱基存在一个由G到A的碱基变异,导致丝氨酸突变为天冬酰胺,从而具有除草剂抗性。本研究基于该位点的碱基变异,设计了11条等位基因特异PCR(allelic-specific PCR,AS-PCR)引物,经过优化筛选,获得两个引物组合F1N(S1/S9)和F1M(S1/S10),将该标记命名为AS-ALS。利用F2群体及其亲本和杂交种,结合AS-ALS标记检测和除草剂抗性分析,结果表明感除草剂ALS-G等位基因型只能被F1N引物对有效扩增,抗除草剂ALS-A等位基因型只能被F1M引物对有效扩增,而杂合基因型能同时被两对引物F1N和F1M扩增,ALS-A纯合或杂合等位基因型都表现抗除草剂,ALS-G纯合基因型表现感除草剂。因此本研究开发的标记能有效区分除草剂抗性基因的3种基因型,基因型与表型完全对应。该标记用于回交育种,可以选择ALS-A杂合基因型单株,剔除ALS-G纯合等位基因型,在自交的F2保留ALS-A纯合基因型单株,连续自交,能快速获得除草剂抗性稳定的水稻材料。该除草剂抗性基因的功能标记还可用于咪唑啉酮类除草剂抗性资源筛选。

牻牛儿基牻牛儿基焦磷酸合酶(Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase,GGPS)是萜类合成途径的结构酶,对植物生长发育具有重要意义。本研究通过RACE和RT-PCR方法克隆得到5条潜在的茶树GGPS序列,分别命名为CsGGPS1-4和CsGGPS9,其中CsGGPS9存在3条等位基因,分别是CsGGPS9-1、CsGGPS9-2和CsGGPS9-3,在系统进化树上与其他基因分成两支。蛋白质序列分析表明,茶树GGPS家族成员都具有polyprenyl_synt结构域,不存在信号肽序列。亚细胞定位预测结果显示,CsGGPS1、CsGGPS2和CsGGPS4定位在叶绿体上,CsGGPS3和CsGGPS9定位在线粒体上。通过Swiss Model进行三维建模,结合"three-floor"模型对茶树GGPS家族成员的功能进行预测,预测结果显示,CsGGPS1、CsGGPS2和CsGGPS4是GGPS;CsGGPS3是异源二聚体形式的牻牛儿基焦磷酸合酶的小亚基;CsGGPS9的催化主产物是碳链数大于30的异戊烯基焦磷酸。q RT-PCR分析表明,CsGGPS1整体表达丰度较低,仅在一芽二叶中表达量稍高;CsGGPS2在茶树各个组织中均有表达,在花中表达量最高,且花发育过程中表达量先上升后下降;CsGGPS3在叶和幼根中的表达量高于花,花发育过程中表达平稳;CsGGPS4在茶树各个组织中表达量数值相近,在花发育过程中表达量变化趋势与CsGGPS2相同;CsGGPS9的表达量在成熟叶中显著低于幼嫩叶片。     

甘蓝型油菜蔗糖磷酸合酶(SPS)基因家族成员鉴定及表达分析

蔗糖磷酸合酶(sucrose phosphate synthase,SPS)是调控植物蔗糖合成的限速酶,对光合产物的转运和积累有重要影响。利用拟南芥SPS蛋白保守结构域在甘蓝型油菜基因组数据库鉴定出11个甘蓝型油菜SPS基因家族成员,根据系统进化分析将其分成A、B和C共3个亚家族。基因结构预测表明,SPSC-1有5个外显子,其他SPS基因均有11~15个外显子。顺式作用元件分析表明,油菜SPS基因除含基本的启动子保守元件外,还含有许多与逆境和激素响应相关的顺式作用元件。实时荧光定量PCR结果表明,Bn SPSA1在花中表达量最高,Bn SPSA2在各组织中均有不同程度的表达,Bn SPSB只在叶、蕾和花中表达,BnSPSC在叶中表达量最高,在蕾和花中有少量表达而在其他组织中基本不表达,说明SPS基因在甘蓝型油菜中的表达具有明显的组织特异性;Bn SPSA1和BnSPSC在高生物产量油菜叶片中的表达高于低生物产量油菜,Bn SPSB则在低生物产量油菜中的表达量更高,说明SPS基因与油菜生物产量密切相关。本研究为油菜SPS基因的功能研究和利用奠定了基础。     

Effects of taurine-zinc on learning and memory abilities of vascular dementia mice

AIM:To observe the effects of taurine-zinc (TZC) on the learning and memory abilities of vascular dementia (VD) mice and to investigate the related mechanism. METHODS:The mice were randomly divided into model group, sham group, and TZC at 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg groups. The mice in drug groups were given TZC by gavage at 10 mL/kg once daily. The mice in sham group and model group were given equal volume of distilled water. VD mice were established by intercepting both common carotid arteries and bleeding at caudal vein after 14 d of gavage. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were detected by ELISA. The levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured via spectrophotometer. Step-down test and Morris water maze test were used to examine the abilities of learning and memory in the mice. RESULTS:TZC at 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, iNOS and NO in the brain tissues. In the water maze test, TZC at 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg significantly decreased the error times and latency compared with model group. In the step-down test, the escape latency was prolonged and error times were lowered significantly by treatment with TZC at 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg as compared with model group. CONCLUSION:TZC improves the abilities of learning and memory, which might be related to the reduction of TNF-α, IL-1β, iNOS and NO levels in VD mice.     

油茶蒲中脂肪酸合酶抑制剂的分离纯化研究

为了高效分离油茶蒲中的脂肪酸合酶(FAS)抑制剂,以乙醇-水为洗脱液,采用大孔树脂D101对油茶蒲提取物进行梯度洗脱,并用高速逆流色谱(HSCCC)对其中的40%乙醇洗脱馏分(40F)进行分离。结果表明,D101大孔树脂洗脱馏分中40F的多酚含量最高,并且其对脂肪酸合酶的抑制活性最强,半抑制浓度为0.61μg·m L-1。以氯仿∶乙醇∶水∶乙酸(4∶3∶2∶0.01,v/v/v/v)为分离溶剂体系,上相为固定相,下相为流动相,转速850 r·min-1,流速2 m L·min-1,在该条件下采用HSCCC对40F进行分离可以纯化得到鞣花酸和3-O-甲基鞣花酸-4'-O-葡萄糖苷,纯度均为95%以上。因此,采用大孔树脂-高速逆流色谱能够简便、高效地分离制备油茶蒲中的脂肪酸合酶抑制剂单体,这为油茶蒲的开发利用及进一步的功能研究奠定了基础。     

亚洲玉米螟幼虫膜结合海藻糖酶基因RNAi效应

海藻糖是昆虫的血糖，为昆虫提供能量；海藻糖酶催化海藻糖分解为葡萄糖，是几丁质生物合成的原料。围食膜（peritrophic membranes，PMs）是昆虫消化道特有结构，对昆虫消化食物、保护肠道表皮细胞具有重要作用；几丁质是PMs的重要组分。海藻糖酶（trehalase，Tre）和几丁质合成酶（chitin synthase，CHS）是几丁质合成途径的第1个和最后1个酶。本研究通过饲喂亚洲玉米螟（Orstrinia furnacalis，Asian corn borer，ACB）膜结合海藻糖酶（OfMT）基因特异的干扰dsRNA，研究RNAi对ACB幼虫中肠CHSB（OfCHSB）基因表达及幼虫发育的影响。发现处理48 h后，OfMT基因和OfCHSB基因表达量分别下降了52%和53%，幼虫发育迟缓。通过对处理及对照ACB幼虫中肠石蜡切片进行苏木精-伊红染色（hematoxylin-ethanol，HE染色）和几丁质标记，发现血腔内脂肪体组织减小、中肠围食膜组织中几丁质含量减少。推测OfMT基因有可能成为ACB的生物防治的靶标基因。     

Roles of protein phosphatase 4 in down-regulation of eNOS Ser633 phosphorylation induced by palmitic acid in human umbilical vein endotheli?al cells

AIMTo investigate the roles of protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) in down-regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Ser633 phosphorylation induced by palmitic acid (PA). METHODSHuman umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with PA at 25 μmol/L, 50 μmol/L, 100 μmol/L and 200μmol/L for 36 h, or treated with PA at 100 μmol/L for 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) family inhibitor fostriecin (FST, 20 nmol/L) or okadaic acid (OA, 5 nmol/L) was selected to pretreat the HUVECs for 30 min. Protein phosphatase 4 catalytic subunit (PP4c) siRNA or protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) siRNA was transfected into the HUVECs. The protein expression levels of of eNOS, PP4c and PP2Ac, as well as the level of eNOS Ser633 phosphorylation, were detected by Western blot. The intracellular nitric oxide (NO) content was measured by DAF-FM DA. RESULTS(1) Compared with control group, the levels of eNOS Ser633 phosphorylation were decreased in PA groups in which the HUVECs were treated with 25 μmol/L, 50 μmol/L, 100 μmol/L and 200 μmol/L PA for 36 h (P<0.05) and 100 μmol/L PA for 24 h, 36 h and 48 h (P<0.05). No significant difference in the level of total eNOS protein expression among all the groups was observed. (2) Compared with control group, both FST and OA pretreatment reversed the reduction of eNOS Ser633 phosphorylation (P<0.05) and the decrease in intracellular NO content (P<0.05) induced by PA. No significant difference in the level of total eNOS protein expression among all the groups was observed. (3) Compared with si-Control group, the PP4c protein expression was significantly reduced (P<0.05), while the level of eNOS Ser633 phosphorylation was significantly increased in si-PP4c group (P<0.05). Although the levels of PP2Ac protein expression declined significantly (P<0.05), the level of eNOS Ser633 phosphorylation remained unchanged in si-PP2Ac group. No significant differencein the level of total eNOS protein expression among all the groups was found. CONCLUSION PA significantly reduces the level of eNOS Ser633 phosphorylation and the content of NO in the HUVECs, which may be due to PA inducing the activation of the PP2A family member PP4 rather than PP2A.
