广东省水稻田稗对五氟磺草胺的抗性分析

为明确广东省水稻田杂草稗Echinochloa crus-galli对五氟磺草胺的抗性现状及其可能的抗性机理,采用整株剂量反应法测定不同地区稗种群对五氟磺草胺的抗性水平,对不同稗种群的乙酰乳酸合成酶（acetolactate synthase,ALS）基因片段进行扩增测序,分析细胞色素P450酶（cytochrome P450 monooxygenase,P450）和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶（glutathione-S-transferase,GST）抑制剂胡椒基丁醚（piperonylbutoxide,PBO）和4-氯-7-硝基-2,1,3-苯并氧杂噁二唑（4-chloro-7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole,NBD-Cl）对不同稗种群抗性水平的影响,并对替代药剂进行筛选。结果显示,广东省水稻田多数稗种群对五氟磺草胺仍表现敏感,但采自湛江市的1个种群BC-7对五氟磺草胺产生了抗性,抗性倍数达6.5倍。与敏感种群BC-2相比,BC-7种群并未发生已报道的ALS靶标抗性相关突变。PBO和NBD-Cl均可显著提高BC-7种群对五氟磺草胺的敏感性,其干重抑制中量GR₅₀由31.1 g/hm²分别降为11.0 g/hm²和24.7 g/hm²。BC-7种群对氰氟草酯和噁唑酰草胺仍较敏感,但对二氯喹啉酸和双草醚产生了抗性。表明P450和GST介导的代谢抗性是稗BC-7种群产生抗性的重要原因,氰氟草酯和噁唑酰草胺适用于治理该抗性种群。     

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.

稻稗HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的抗药性水平及抗性机理分析

为明确东北稻区稻稗Echinochloa oryzoides HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的抗性水平及抗性机制,采用整株生物测定法测定稻稗种群对五氟磺草胺的敏感性,明确抗性种群的交互抗性和多抗性情况,研究3种细胞色素P450抑制剂对其敏感性的影响;并应用分子生物学方法进行稻稗的乙酰乳酸合酶(acetolactate synthase,ALS)离体活性测定、ALS基因序列分析及其表达量测定。结果表明:在东北稻区,五氟磺草胺对稻稗HJHL-715种群鲜重的抑制中剂量GR50为62.53 g/hm^2;稻稗HJHL-715的ALS基因序列中未发现氨基酸突变,其ALS离体活性与敏感种群的ALS离体活性无显著性差异,ALS基因表达量显著低于敏感种群。1-氨基苯并三唑(1-aminobenzotriazole,ABT)、胡椒基丁醚(piperomyl butoxide,PBO)、马拉硫磷3种P450抑制剂显著提高了稻稗HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的敏感性,使其对五氟磺草胺的GR50由原来的62.53 g/hm^2分别下降到5.78、5.02、3.53 g/hm^2。表明东北稻区已经出现了对五氟磺草胺具有高水平抗性的稻稗种群,稻稗HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的抗性很可能是由细胞色素P450介导的代谢增强所致。

紫花苜蓿MsSQE1的克隆及对皂甙合成的功能分析

【目的】鲨烯环氧酶（squalene epoxidases,SQE）是苜蓿皂甙合成途径中的一种限速酶,与苜蓿皂甙的合成密切相关。通过对苜蓿鲨烯环氧酶（MsSQE1）基因的克隆及在苜蓿中过表达,探究鲨烯环氧酶对皂甙合成的作用机制。【方法】以模式植物蒺藜苜蓿鲨烯环氧酶基因序列设计引物,同源克隆苜蓿MsSQE1。对MsSQE1进行生物信息学分析;通过基因枪轰击技术,使MsSQE1在洋葱表皮瞬时表达,进行亚细胞定位。利用qRT-PCR方法分析该基因在根、茎、叶中的表达水平,以及在紫外辐射、ABA和GA₃条件下的表达模式。在茉莉酸甲酯（MeJA）的诱导下,分析MsSQE1的转录水平,及对苜蓿皂甙含量的影响。利用根癌农杆菌转化体系,获得过表达MsSQE1的阳性转基因植株,并测定转基因植株的皂甙含量。【结果】克隆了MsSQE1的cDNA序列,开放阅读框1 578 bp,编码525个氨基酸,等电点为8.59。同源性比对分析,其氨基酸序列与蒺藜苜蓿中SQE1氨基酸序列同源性为98.6%,与拟南芥的同源性为80%。亚细胞定位显示,MsSQE1可能定位于细胞膜。组织特异性表达分析显示,MsSQE1在叶中的表达量最高,茎中次之,根中的表达量最低。在紫外辐射、ABA和GA₃的诱导表达显示,紫外辐射诱导24 h,叶中表达量最高; GA₃（50 μmol·L ^-1）和 ABA（100 μmol·L ^-1）处理,均为8 h叶中表达量最高;MeJA处理能诱导MsSQE1表达量上调的同时苜蓿总皂甙含量也随着MsSQE1表达的上调而增加。分析过表达MsSQE1转基因苜蓿和转空载体苜蓿株系发现,MsSQE1的表达水平和总皂甙含量均升高,其中MsSQE1的表达水平是对照的3.11—9.45倍,总皂甙含量比对照提高14.26%—28.05%,暗示MsSQE1是苜蓿皂甙合成途径中的一种关键调节酶。【结论】从豆科牧草紫花苜蓿中克隆了MsSQE1并进行功能分析。在苜蓿中过表达MsSQE1能增加苜蓿总皂甙含量,暗示MsSQE1的表达影响苜蓿皂甙的生物合成,可能对皂甙的合成有重要的调节作用。

Constitutive nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activities in big-head carp (Aristichthys nobilis)

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of nitric oxide (NO), an important biological messenger from L-arginine. There are considerable evidence showing the expression of NOS in mammalian tissues. Information on distribution of NOS activities in various organs and tissues of fish is rare. Non-functional NOS activities were documented in fish semi-quantitatively either by an indirect nicotine-adenine-dinucleotide-phosphate diaphorase (NADPH-d) activity histochemical staining method or by an immunohistochemical method using a cross-reacting antibody to brain NOS. Report on the functional levels of NOS activities in fish is lacking. This report represent the first attempt to document the functional NOS levels in various fish organs and tissues. Constitutive NOS (cNOS) activities in various organs of big-head carp (Aristichthys nobilis) was measured by a chemiluminescence method with a detection limit as low as 10 mol of NO produced. It was found that constitutive NOS activity was highest in the brain, followed by the intestine, stomach, retina, olfactory lobe, swim bladder, skeletal muscle, heart, kidney, ovary and liver. NOS activity could not be detected in the gill filaments. Omission of NADPH in the reaction mixture caused a 57–100% decrease in cNOS activities. However, omission of arginine in the mixture only caused a 56–87% drop in cNOS activities. When compared with cNOS activities documented from other species, a similar pattern of cNOS activities in the various organs and tissues of big-head carp could be seen.
