融合基因umcel5N-CBM的构建、表达及融合酶性质分析

碳水化合物结合组件（carbohydrate—binding module,CBM）是一些糖基水解酶分子上的结构域,它在纤维素酶降解不可溶纤维素中起着重要的作用。本研究的目的是检测一个新的内切葡聚糖酶Umcel5N（GenBank登录号为ACH67609）加上一个碳水化合物结合组件后得到的融合酶是否获得降解结晶纤维素的能力。本文将编码内切葡聚糖酶Umcel5N的催化结构域（catalytic工能力domain,CD）的序列与编码Umcel6A的CBM序列通过接头序列进行基因融合,得到融合基因umCel5N-CBM,并实现了融合基因在大肠杆菌BL21（DE3）pLysS中的表达。研究结果表明,融合酶Umcel5N-CBM与结晶纤维素（avicel）以及滤纸粉末的结合能力比原始酶Umcel5N提高了约一倍,但未显示出降解结晶纤维素的新活性,说明在结晶纤维素的降解过程中,纤维素酶的催化功能域起到关键作用。     

一种绿色木霉纤维素内切酶基因的克隆及其定点突变对酶活力的影响

纤维素资源是地球上最丰富的可再生资源,纤维素酶的酶活力和生产成本制约着纤维素的利用.本研究从多年户外放置的朽木(Populus bonatii)中分离出一株真菌G-1,经18S rDNA序列分析鉴定为绿色木霉(Trichoderma viride).从G-1中分离出一种纤维素内切酶基因(endoglucanase,EG;GenBank登录号:HM116999.1).通过重叠引物延伸法对EG进行定点突变,得到一个突变序列EG-mut,将EG和EG-mut分别插入分泌型表达载体pPIC9K,并导入巴斯德毕赤酵母(Pichia pastoris),筛选到两个菌株,经刚果红染色和DNS法对酶活性测定,显示其内切酶的活性分别达到20.915 U/mL和24.110 U/mL,酶活力高于本实验中得到的其它重组菌株.结果表明某些定点突变可以揭示影响酶活的重要功能域.

化学预处理提高酒糟生物质酶解糖化效果

为促进酒糟生物质的酶解糖化,筛选适宜的预处理方法,以脱除木质素,提高综纤维素（纤维素和半纤维素之和）保留率为目标,研究比较了酸-超声波耦合（ultrasound-assisted acid pretreatment,UAAP）、液氨（pretreatment by soaking in aqueous ammonia,PSAA）、碱性双氧水（alkaline hydrogen peroxide pretreatment,AHPP）和酸性亚硫酸氢盐（bisulfite pretreatment,BP）4种预处理法对酒糟化学组分、结构特性和酶解得率的影响。结果表明,与其余3种方法相比,BP法处理后酒糟的纤维素和半纤维素保留率最高,分别为84.59%和84.87%,即综纤维素保留率为84.68%。与未处理酒糟（unpretreatment,UP）相比,4种方法预处理后酒糟的综纤维素酶解得率分别提高了49.12%（酸-超声波,UAAP）、55.48%（液氨,PASS）、92.79%（碱性双氧水,AHPP）和99.15%（酸性亚硫酸氢盐,BP）,其中BP法对酒糟酶解糖化的促进作用最有效。扫描电镜（scanning electron microscope,SEM）和X-衍射（X-ray differaction,XRD）结果显示,酒糟经不同方法预处理后表观结构发生了明显变化,木质纤维网络结构遭到破坏,表面呈现无规则或形状各异的膨松状态,沟壑明显,孔隙率增加,比表面积增大,有利于提高水解酶的可及性。化学组分和结构特性的变化说明酒糟的酶解得率与综纤维素的保留、木质素的去除、表面微观形貌变化以及纤维素结晶度等因素直接相关。总之,酸性亚硫酸氢盐（BP）法是适用于酒糟生物质糖化预处理的一种有效可行方法。     

来源于水牛瘤胃未培养微生物的内切葡聚糖酶的碱性羧基末端结构域的功能鉴定

本碱性羧基末端结构域（basic C-terminal domain,BTD）是瘤胃细菌的碳水化合物活性酶（carbohydrateactive enzymes）中未知功能的一个结构域。BTD都位于酶或蛋白质的羧基最末端,大小为30～80个氨基酸（aa）,含有较多的碱性氨基酸,一般该结构域等电点都大于10。本工作构建了来源于水牛瘤胃未培养微生物的内切葡聚糖酶C5614-1的BTD缺失酶C5614-1RBTD57（缺失C5614-1羧基末端的57个aa）和C5614-1RBTD40（缺失C5614-1羧基末端的40个aa）以及C67-1的BTD缺失酶C67-1ΔBTD（缺失C67-1羧基末端的42个aa）,酶学特性分析发现BTD缺失酶与野生酶对pH和温度的稳定性是相似的,说明BTD结构域对酶的酶学特性方面贡献不大。尽管缺失了C5614-1的羧基末端57个氨基酸后,缺失酶C5614-1RBTD57对温度和pH的稳定性明显降低,但同时缺失酶对Avicel的结合能力也显著下降,说明该缺失酶是因为该酶的碳水化合物结合组件（carbohydrate binding module,CBM）的部分缺失而导致了酶的稳定性的改变。本文还对BTD可能的功能做了预测。

Dietary fibers from mushroom sclerotia: 1. Preparation and physicochemical and functional properties

Preparation of three novel dietary fibers (DFs) from mushroom sclerotia, namely, Pleurotus tuberregium, Polyporous rhinocerus, and Wolfiporia cocos, by a scale-up modified AOAC procedure using industrial enzymes was investigated. A remarkably high level of total dietary fiber (TDF) ranging from 81.7 to 96.3% sample dry matter (DM), in which a content of nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) ranging from 86.6 to 94.3% sclerotial TDF DM, was obtained from the three sclerotia. All sclerotial DFs were rich in beta-glucan (the glucose residue ranged from 89.7 to 94.5% NSP DM) with a very low level of resistant glycogen (ranged from 3.77 to 3.94% sclerotial TDF DM). All three novel sclerotial DFs also exhibited similar, if not better, physicochemical and functional properties (pH, color, water binding capacity, oil holding capacity, and emulsifying properties) as those of barely DF control and commercial DF-rich ingredients. The potential use of the three mushroom sclerotial DFs as a new beta-glucan type DF-rich ingredient in the food industry was discussed.     

Antioxidant vitamins in barley green biomass

Two malting hulled varieties (Sebastian, Malz) and one nonmalting hull-less variety (AF Lucius) were used to assess vitamins C and E in the green biomass of young plants of spring barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) in three stages of growth and development (BBCH 29, 31, 32-33). The samples from sampling I (BBCH 29) had statistically significantly higher vitamin C content and vitamin E activity compared to sampling I (BBCH 31). The highest average vitamin content was determined in the malting variety Sebastian (vitamin C, 520 mg 100 g(-1) DM; vitamin E, 73.06 mg kg(-1) DM) compared to the varieties Malz (501 mg 100 g(-1) DM; 61.84 mg kg(-1) DM) and AF Lucius (508 mg 100 g(-1) DM; 67.81 mg 100 g(-1) DM). The locality Krome?r?i?z? (Czech Republic, CR), with vitamin C and E contents of 524 mg 100 g(-1) DM and 68.74 mg kg(-1) DM, respectively, proved to be more suitable for growing green biomass compared to the locality Z?abc?ice (CR) (content of vitamins C and E, 477 mg 100 g(-1) DM and 66.39 mg kg(-1) DM, respectively). During the research period (2005-2007), it was determined that the green mass of young plants of spring barley was a significant source of vitamins C and E in the growth stage BBCH 29; in later samplings (BBCH 32-33) the vitamin levels dropped (by as much as 48%). These vitamins are important antioxidants for human health. Therefore, "green barley" can be recommended for the preparation of natural dietary supplements and is preferred to synthetic vitamin preparations.     

Biochemical and microstructural Ccharacteristics of insoluble and soluble dietary fiber prepared from mushroom sclerotia of Pleurotus tuber-regium, Polyporus rhinocerus, and Wolfiporia cocos

The proximate composition of sclerotia of Pleurotus tuber-regium, Polyporus rhinoceros, and Wolfiporia cocos, together with the yield, purity, monosaccharide profile, and microstructure of their insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) fractions prepared from AOAC enzymatic-gravimetric methods were investigated and compared. All three sclerotia were typical carbohydrate rich sclerotia [ranging from 90.5 to 98.1% dry matter (DM)] with an exceptionally low amount of crude lipid content (ranging from 0.02 to 0.14% DM). Besides, all three sclerotia possessed substantial amounts of IDF (ranging from 77.4 to 94.6% DM) with notably high levels of nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) (89.9-92.2% DM) in which glucose was the predominant sugar residue (90.6-97.2% of NSP DM). On the contrary, both the yield (only ranging from 1.45 to 2.50% DM) and the amount of NSP (ranging from 22.4 to 29.6% DM) of the three sclerotial SDF fractions were very low. Scanning electron micrographs showed fragments of interwoven hyphae and insoluble materials in the three sclerotial IDF fractions, but only an amorphous structure of soluble materials was observed in the SDF fractions. The potential use of these fiber preparations was discussed.     

Evaluation of inoculation with nitrogen and phosphorus biofertilizers on yield and radiation use efficiency of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) under Mashhad climatic conditions

The purposes of this study were evaluate the effects of biofertilizers inoculation on growth indices, yield and radiation use efficiency (RUE) in black cumin under Mashhad climatic conditions. This field experiment was carried out based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. This experiment was performed at Agricultural Research Station, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, during two growing seasons 2007–2008 and 2008–2009. Treatments were (A) Azotobacter paspali, (B) Azospirillum brasilense, (C) Rhizophagus irregularis, A + C, B + C, A + B, A + B + C and control. In all treatments, except control, 100 g of seeds were inoculated with15 mg of each biofertilizer. Results indicated that leaf area index (LAI) and accumulative dry matter (DM) showed an increasing trend up to 1863°Cd and a short declining trend afterwards. The relation between accumulative DM and absorbed photosynthesis active radiation (PARa) was linear. Radiation use efficiency (RUE) fluctuated from 0.55 gMJ^?1 (control) to 0.89 gMJ^?1 (B+C). Inoculation with biofertilizers enhanced root development and hence availability of moisture and nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus. Since these ecological fertilizers produce many growth regulators for the plant which promote LAI and accumulative DM and therefore yield, PARa and RUE enhanced.     

Forage quality and yield increments of intensive managed grassland in response to combined sulphur-nitrogen fertilization Dedicated to Prof. em.Dr. Alois Kornher on his 75th birthday.

Abstract

A three-year experiment was carried out at three different sites in northern Germany to investigate the effects of combined sulphur (S, up to 50 kg S ha^?1 year^?1) and nitrogen (N, up to 300 kg N ha^?1 year^?1) fertilization on dry matter (DM) yield and forage quality. There was an interaction effect of site, year, S and N fertilization. The greatest DM yield increment relative to yield at the start of the experiment (1997) with no S and N applied was 10.2 t DM ha^?1 at Ostenfeld (arable grassland). Cattle slurry when applied to provide 50 kg N ha^?1 and 10 kg S ha^?1 did not noticeably increase yield. The S content in forage decreased significantly over the years without S fertilization. At 300 kg N ha^?1 and 0 kg S ha^?1, crude protein (CP) contents achieved 173 g kg^?1 DM and were diluted due to higher DM yields with S fertilization. The true protein content (TP% of CP) differed significantly at 300 kg N ha^?1. TP achieved 93% with 50 and 87% with 0 kg S ha^?1 year^?1, respectively. In conclusion, with N fertilizer intensities in the range of 300 kg N ha^?1, it is necessary to apply 25 kg S ha^?1 to improve forage yield and quality. On the other hand, with N fertilization levels below 300 kg N ha^?1, S fertilization could be omitted.     

Phosphorus‐31–nuclear magnetic–resonance spectroscopy to trace organic dung phosphorus in a temperate grassland soil

Cattle dung contributes to hot‐spot inputs of nutrients to grassland systems, but not much is known about its organic P (P_o) composition and fate in the grassland soils. We used ³¹Phosphorus (P)–Nuclear Magnetic–Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of alkaline soil extracts to examine potentials for tracing of different functional P_o forms into a temperate grassland soil amended with dung. The proportion of monoester, DNA‐diester, and phospholipid+teichoic acid P were comparable in dung extracts, but the soil was dominated by monoester P. The temporal trends in the DNA‐diester P–to–monoester P (D_DNAM) and diester P–to–monoester P (DM) ratio of dung, native soil, and soil amended with dung were monitored in the 70 d field experiment. The D_DNAM and DM ratio in the dung‐amended soil (0–1 and 1–5 cm depth) were always intermediate between the dung and (unamended) control soil. Clearly, extracted soil P was a mixture of incorporated dung‐derived P and native soil P. The dung‐P contribution in the 0–1 cm samples peaked at 47% of the total extracted P at day 70 and at 15% after 42 d in the 1–5 cm soil depth (based on the DM ratio). The proportions of dung‐derived P and C in the soil were positively correlated with: 1) topsoil, using the D_DNAM ratio (r² = 0.975), and 2) top‐ and subsoil, using the DM ratio (r² = 0.656). We concluded that our D_DNAM and DM‐P ratios approach (obtained from solution‐³¹P NMR) did trace successfully the short‐term dynamics and fate of dung P_o in soil. It indicated that dung‐derived P_o varied as rapidly in soil as the dung‐derived C.     

马氏珠母贝(Pinctada matensii)3个DM结构域的克隆及系统进化分析

Dmrt 基因编码的是一类新的具有锌指结构的转录因子，它们均含有一个DM(Double sex 和Mab - 3) 结构域，在性别分化发育和体节分化等过程中起着重要调控作用。尽管已在多种动物中克隆了Dmrt基因的多个成员，但在贝类中未见任何有关Dmrt基因的报道。本研究通过简并PCR克隆技术，从马氏珠母贝（Pinctada matensii）基因组中克隆到3个不同的DM序列（pmDmrt2，pmDmrt3 pmDmrt4）。证实了在马氏珠母贝基因组中也存在Dmrt基因家族的多个成员。序列分析表明，pmDmrt2编码的氨基酸序列与斑马鱼、爪蟾、红原鸡、家鼠、人等的Dmrt2的一致性为95 %；pmDmrt3编码的氨基酸序列与斑马鱼、青鳉、红原鸡、家鼠、人的Dmrt3的一致性为85%；pmDmrt4编码的氨基酸序列与青鳉、红鳍多纪鲀的Dmrt4一致性高达97%，进一步证明该基因家族在无脊椎动物和脊椎动物都具有高度的进化保守性。     

Phosphataufnahme und -Verwertung von drei Inzuchtlinien des Welschen Weidelgrases (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) und ihren Hybriden

Uptake and utilization of phosphorus by three inbred lines of Lolium multiflorum L. and their hybrids Three Lolium multiflorum inbred lines A, B and C and their hybrids (AB, AC, BC) were tested for their shoot dry matter (DM) production, P uptake (mg P pot^?1), P utilization (mg DM · mg P^?1) and P influx (P uptake rate per cm root length) by growing in plastic pots for a maximum period of 92 days at two P levels in a loess loam soil. The acid phosphatase activity of roots of inbreds A and C grown in nutrient solutions with 1.10 and 100 μmol P · L^?1 was also determined using the hydrolysis of Nitrophenyl phospate (NPP). Compared to the average of the inbreds DM production of the hybrids was 8 % higher at high and 12 % higher at low P level. With an increase of 14% and 25% DM respectively hybrid BC had the highest heterosis effect. The biomass production corresponded with the P uptake. Therefore, the P utilization efficiency of the hybrids was nearly the same as that of the inbreds. The increase in P uptake of the hybrids was related to the increase of root length. This means that the P uptake efficiency, i.e. the influx per unit of root remained unchanged between the inbreds and their hybrids. It can thus be concluded that the heterosis effect corresponds to an increase of P uptake caused by an increase of the size of the root system. The activity of the root phosphatases increased with declining P status of shoots and being absolutely higher in inbred A than C. Both inbreds responded within 3 days to a decreased P supply (from 100 to 1 μmol P · L^?1).     

Effects of NPK source on the dry matter partitioning in cool season C3-cereals (wheat,rye, barley,and oats) at various growth stages

Dry matter (DM) partitioning into root, leaf, stem, shoot dry weight plant^?1 response in four cool season C₃-cereals viz. wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and oats (Avena sativa L.) was investigated at 30, 60 and 90 days after emergence (DAE) under eight nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) sources: S₁ = 20-20-20, S₂ = 20-27-5, S₃ = 7-22-8, S₄ = 10-10-10-20S, S₅ = 11-15-11, S₆ = 31-11-11, S₇ = 24-8-16, and S₈ = 19-6-12 in pot experiment at Dryland Agriculture Institute, West Texas A&;M University, Canyon, Texas, USA during winter 2009-10. A considerable variation in DM partitioning into various plant parts was observed in the four crop species at different growth stages and NPK source. At 30 DAE, 27% of the total DM per plant (TDMPP) was partitioned into roots and 73% into shoots (19% stems + 54% leaf). Only16 % of the TDMPP was partitioned into roots and 84% into shoots (18 % stem + 66 % leaf) at 60 DAE. At 90 DAE, 29% of TDMPP was partitioned into roots and 71 % into shoots (33 % stems + 38 % leaf) at 90 DAE. Percent DM partitioning into stems ranked first (33%) at 90 DAE > at 30 DAE (19%) > at 60 DAE (18 %). With advancement in crops age, DM partitioning into various crop parts increased. The root DM plant^?1 (RDMPP) increased from 11.5–722 mg plant^?1; stem DM plant^?1 (STDMPP) from 8.3–889.0 mg plant^?1; leaf DM plant^?1 (LDMPP) from 23.1–1031.0 mg plant^?1; shoot DM plant^?1 (SHDMPP) from 31.3–1921 mg plant^?1, and TDMPP increased from 42.9–2693.0 mg plant^?1 at 30 and 90 DAE, respectively. Because of the higher N contents in S₇ (24:8:16) and S₆ (31:11:11) reduced the DM partitioning into various plants parts as well as TDMPP at all three growth stages. The adverse effects of S₆ and S₇ on DM partitioning was more on oats > rye > wheat > barley. The S₄ with 10:10:10 (NPK) and :20S was not toxic at 30 DAE, but at 60 and 90 DAE it became toxic that adversely affected the DM partitioning as well as TDMPP probably may be due its high sulfur (20%) content which lacking in other NPK sources. The DM partitioning to various parts of barley and wheat was more than oats and rye at different growth stages (barley > wheat > rye > oats). Since the DM portioning values were determined on the average of five plants in pot experiment under organic soil at field capacity; in case of field experiments more research is needed on various crop species/varieties under different environmental conditions particularly under moisture stress condition.
