甘蓝花粉特异表达的多聚半乳糖醛酸酶基因BoMF9的克隆与特征分析

根据白菜花粉特异的多聚半乳糖醛酸酶基因BcMF9的全长序列设计引物，通过PCR直接扩增的方法从结球甘蓝（Brassica. oleracea var. capitata）和芥蓝（B. oleracea var. alboglabra）中克隆得到BcMF9的同源基因BoMF9（BoMF9c和BoMF9l）。生物信息学分析和系统树构建发现BoMF9c和BoMF9l具有花粉特异表达的多聚半乳糖醛酸酶基因的序列特征。不同组织的表达特征分析发现它们分别在结球甘蓝和芥蓝的花蕾中特异表达。推测BoMF9c和BoMF9l可能在花粉萌发和花粉管伸长中起作用。

Identification and Expression of Two Novel Cytochrome P450 Genes,CYP6CV1 and CYP9A38, in Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Cnaphalocrocis medinalis Güenée can cause severe losses in rice. Cytochrome P450s play crucial roles in the metabolism of allelochemicals in herbivorous insects. Two novel P450 cDNAs, CYP6CV1 and CYP9A38, were cloned from the midgut of C. medinalis. CYP6CV1 encodes a protein of 500 amino acid residues, while CYP9A38-predicted protein has 531 amino acid residues. Both cDNA-predicted proteins contain the conserved functional domains for all P450s. Phylogenetic analyses showed that CYP6CV1 is grouped in the cluster containing CYP6B members, while CYP9A38 is in the cluster including CYP9 members. However, both clusters are contained in the same higher lineage. Homologous analysis revealed that CYP6CV1 is most similar to CYP6B8, CYP6B7, CYP6B6, CYP6B2, and CYP6B4 with the highest amino acid identity of 41%. CYP9A38 is closest to CYP9A17, CYP9A21, CYP9A20, and CYP9A19 with the highest amino acid identity of 66%. Studies of temporal expression profiles revealed that CYP9A38 showed a steady increase in mRNA level during the five instar stages, but a low-expression level in pupae, and then presented at a high-expression level again in adults. Similar expression patterns were obtained with CYP6CV1. In the fifth instar larvae, CYP6CV1 was mainly expressed in midgut and fat bodies, whereas CYP9A38 was mainly expressed in midgut. Expression studies also revealed a 3.20-fold over-expression of CYP6CV1 and 3.54-fold over-expression of CYP9A38 after larval exposure to host rice resistance. Our results suggest that both CYP6CV1 and CYP9A38 may be involved in detoxification of rice phytochemicals.     

Fucoidan from Laminaria japonica Inhibits Expression of GLUT9 and URAT1 via PI3K/Akt,JNK and NF-κB Pathways in Uric Acid-Exposed HK-2 Cells

This work aimed to investigate the effect of fucoidan (FPS) on urate transporters induced by uric acid (UA). The results showed that UA stimulated the expression of glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) and urate transporter 1 (URAT1) in HK-2 cells, and FPS could reverse the effect. Moreover, UA could activate NF-κB, JNK and PI3K/Akt pathways, but both pathway inhibitors and FPS inhibited the UA-induced activation of these three pathways. These data suggested that FPS effectively inhibited the expression induction of reabsorption transporters URAT1 and GLUT9 by UA, through repressing the activation of NF-κB, JNK and PI3K/Akt signal pathways in HK-2 cells. The in vitro research findings support the in vivo results that FPS reduces serum uric acid content in hyperuricemia mice and rats through inhibiting the expression of URAT1 and GLUT9 in renal tubular epithelial cells. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of FPS in the treatment of hyperuricemia.     

Secondary metabolites from an algicolous Aspergillus versicolor strain

Two new compounds, asperversin A (1) and 9ξ-O-2(2,3-dimethylbut-3-enyl)brevianamide Q (2), and nine known compounds, brevianamide K (3), brevianamide M (4), aversin (5), 6,8-di-O-methylnidurufin (6), 6,8-di-O-methylaverufin (7), 6-O-methylaverufin (8), 5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol (9), ergosta-7,22-diene-3β,5α,6β-triol (10), and 6β-methoxyergosta-7,22-diene-3β,5α-diol (11), were obtained from the culture of Aspergillus versicolor, an endophytic fungus isolated from the marine brown alga Sargassum thunbergii. The structures of these compounds were established by spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 4, 7 and 8 exhibited antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphyloccocus aureus, and 7 also showed lethality against brine shrimp (Artemia salina) with an LC₅₀ value of 0.5 μg/mL.     

赤眼鳟Toll样受体9基因的cDNA全长克隆及表达特性分析

为探究赤眼鳟(Squaliobarbus curriculus)Toll样受体9基因(toll–like receptor 9,ScTLR9)的结构特性及其参与免疫应答草鱼呼肠弧病毒(grass carp reovirus,GCRV)感染时的表达特性,采用RACE技术克隆Sc TLR9基因c DNA全长序列,采用实时荧光定量PCR技术比较分析ScTLR9免疫应答GCRV的表达特性。结果显示:ScTLR9的cDNA全长为3 687 bp,编码1 059个氨基酸,有17个富含亮氨酸重复序列(leucine rich repeats,LRRs)结构域。ScTLR9在被检测的9个组织中均有表达,在中肾和头肾中的表达量最高;感染GCRV后,基因TLR9在赤眼鳟和草鱼头肾中的表达量均上调,在赤眼鳟头肾中的表达量于感染后12 h达到峰值,推测TLR9参与了赤眼鳟抗GCRV的免疫应答,且在抗GCRV入侵免疫反应中赤眼鳟较草鱼的免疫应答更为迅速。

Chicken IgY: Utilizing the evolutionary difference

Chicken antibodies offer advantages over traditional ones (e.g. rabbit antibodies) due to the evolutionary difference between these immunoglobulins. Chicken give better antibody response against conserved mammalian antigens, they do not react with rheumatoid factors, bacterial or mammalian Fc receptors and can reduce background reactions due to cross-reactivity of anti-IgG antibodies.
