Z-ligustilide isolated from Radix Angelicae sinensis ameliorates the memory impairment induced by scopolamine in mice

We investigated the effect of Z-ligustilide (LIG) on scopolamine-induced memory impairment in ICR mice. LIG (2.5–40 mg/kg) or tacrine (10 mg/kg) was orally administrated for 26 days. Behavior was examined in the Morris water maze and Y-maze after scopolamine administration (2 mg/kg, i.p.). The central acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activities were assessed spectrophotometrically. LIG significantly improved spatial long-term memory and short-term memory impairment, inhibited AChE activity and increased ChAT activity. Moreover, LIG and tacrine showed the comparable efficacy in both neurobehavioral and cholinergic evaluation. These data suggest that LIG may alleviate memory deficits probably via enhancing cholinergic function.     

缺氮培养大豆Bragg结瘤突变系对CO2倍增的反应

研究了在缺氮条件下，CO₂倍增对大豆（GtycinemaxL.）Bragg及其等基因突变体超结瘤大豆nts382和不结瘤大豆Nod49生长和固氮的影响。结果表明在缺氮条件下CO₂倍增明显提高大生物量和根系结涵量，但对固氮酶活性的影响则随幼苗的生长而异。播种后25天取样结果显示CO₂倍增条件下，Bragg和nts382的固氮比活性和单株固氮活性都显著提高，而其后3天取样的结果没有表现出增加趋势，固氮比活性在nts382反而明显降低。两种CO₂浓度条件下，nts382单株固氮活性高于Bragg，但固氮比活性低于后者。两次测定结果的差异说明植物对CO₂倍增的反应具有很强的时效性;同时表明，CO₂倍增对植物生长和固氮的促进作用不能长期维持。这可能与生物固氮过程本身的复杂性有关。根据本研究结果推测，在未来全球环境变化、CO₂倍增条件下，共生固氮植物可能在生态系统氮素平衡中起到更为重要的作用;并有可能通过育种技术改良固氮农作物，提高农作物产量。     

不同因素对甘薯根系发育的影响

选用3个不同基因型的甘薯品种,采用正交试验设计,研究了百苗重和施肥量对甘薯块根的形成,特别是甘薯块根结薯个数的影响。结果表明,品种、百苗重及施肥量对甘薯根系发育有显著影响,南薯88在百苗重为4.0kg和不施肥条件下其根系重量和块根数量显著优于其他水平,同时南薯88根系数量最高。     

桑籽皮多酚的提取工艺研究

通过单因素试验,分析了不同浸提剂、浸提剂浓度、料液比、浸提时间、浸提温度5个因素对桑籽皮多酚提取量的影响,通过正交试验,确定了桑籽皮多酚的最佳提取条件为:浸提剂(丙酮)体积分数为70%,料液比1∶35,回流温度45℃,回流时间1.5h。在此提取条件下,提取量达到1.332mg/g干籽皮,为桑籽皮多酚的工业化提取提供科学依据。

亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnaealis的胚胎发育

1985-1987年,在武昌室内恒温26℃±0.5、相对湿度70%±5、日光照18小时的条件下,观察了亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnaealis(Gueaee)卵粒的外表颜色及内部胚胎发育的变化。将胚胎发育期划分为四级,即:1.卵裂,胚盘及胚带形成,胚体开始分节期;2.附肢形成,胚体缩短期;3.背合,胚动期;4.继续背合,静止期。卵的整个历期为107±3小时。     

The crystal structure of the signal recognition particle in complex with its receptor

Cotranslational targeting of membrane and secretory proteins is mediated by the universally conserved signal recognition particle (SRP). Together with its receptor (SR), SRP mediates the guanine triphosphate (GTP)-dependent delivery of translating ribosomes bearing signal sequences to translocons on the target membrane. Here, we present the crystal structure of the SRP:SR complex at 3.9 angstrom resolution and biochemical data revealing that the activated SRP:SR guanine triphosphatase (GTPase) complex binds the distal end of the SRP hairpin RNA where GTP hydrolysis is stimulated. Combined with previous findings, these results suggest that the SRP:SR GTPase complex initially assembles at the tetraloop end of the SRP RNA and then relocalizes to the opposite end of the RNA. This rearrangement provides a mechanism for coupling GTP hydrolysis to the handover of cargo to the translocon.
