西瓜花叶病毒抗血清制备及其应用

 西瓜花叶病毒(Watermelon mosaic virus, WMV)是危害葫芦科作物的重要病毒。制备特异性强、效价高的抗血清对快速准确检测和鉴定WMV具有重要意义。本研究将WMV外壳蛋白(Coat protein,CP)基因克隆到原核表达载体pEHISTEV获得pEHISTEV-WMV-CP。将pEHISTEV-WMV-CP转化大肠杆菌Rosetta,经IPTG诱导,成功表达出分子量约为36 kDa的蛋白,与预期WMV CP大小一致。切胶回收WMV CP,与等体积弗氏不完全佐剂充分乳化后免疫健康新西兰大白兔。Western blotting结果表明,制备的抗血清与WMV CP有反应,与同属的番木瓜环斑病毒(Papaya ringspot virus,PRSV)、马铃薯Y病毒(Potato virus Y,PVY)、小西葫芦黄花叶病毒(Zucchini yellow mosaic virus, ZYMV)和烟草花叶病毒属的黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒(Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus,CGMMV)均无反应。酶联免疫吸附测定(PTA-ELISA)结果表明,本研究制备的WMV抗血清效价为1∶8 192,并且能够检测稀释512倍的病毒汁液。利用该抗血清对田间采集的10个RT-PCR检测为阳性的样品进行检测,全部呈现阳性。本研究利用大肠杆菌表达的CP制备的WMV抗血清具有较高的特异性和灵敏度。研究结果为WMV的快速检测和鉴定奠定了基础。     

副黏病毒糖蛋白的结构与功能研究进展

副黏病毒是一类包含多种能引起人和动物严重疾病的负链RNA病毒。其病毒颗粒囊膜上排列有两种糖蛋白,分别是识别并结合宿主受体的附着蛋白(hemagglutinin neuraminidase/hemagglutinin/glycoprotein, HN/H/G)和介导病毒颗粒囊膜与宿主细胞膜融合的融合蛋白(fusion protein, F)。这两种糖蛋白通过与病毒受体及细胞膜的互相作用介导了病毒与宿主细胞的特异性识别、结合及融合过程,最终使病毒基因组进入宿主细胞质开启复制过程。由于糖蛋白是主要的病毒抗原及中和抗体靶点,因此近年来对副黏病毒糖蛋白的研究在不断的深入探索。就副黏病毒糖蛋白在其结构、功能及其相互作用方面的研究进展进行了综述,以期为治疗性抗体和疫苗的合理开发提供理论基础。

苹果砧木M26试管苗不定根发育过程中蛋白质的变化

为进一步了解木本植物不定根发生、发育的机理,对苹果砧木M26试管苗不定根的发生、发育过程进行解剖观察,利用十二烷基磺酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)对M26试管苗在接入生根培养基前后,不同时期表达的蛋白进行了研究。结果发现:在不定根原基形成和发育的阶段性过程中,茎基部蛋白质的种类和数量出现明显差异。生根培养后,在继代苗茎基部表达的5条蛋白条带减弱或消失,其分子量分别为26.8 kDa、37kDa、40.3 kDa、43 kDa和66 kDa;明显表达了4条新的蛋白条带,其分子量分别为26 kDa、27.7 kDa、32.5 kDa、和45 kDa,同时有4条蛋白条带(38.5 kDa、42 kDa、53.2 kDa和55.5 kDa)其表达丰度提高。多种蛋白条带的消失和出现,可作为M26试管苗不定根产生的生化标志。在不定根原基逐步形成发育的同时,有3条蛋白条带的表达丰度也逐步提高,可作为不定根形成过程表达的特异标记蛋白带。     

Identification of Neofabraea species causing bull's eye rot of apple in Poland and their direct detection in apple fruit using multiplex PCR

Based on partial sequence analysis of the β‐tubulin gene, 19 isolates of fungi causing bull's eye rot on apple in Poland were classified into species: Neofabraea alba, N. perennans and N. kienholzii. To the authors’ knowledge, the detection of N. kienholzii is the second in Europe and the first in Poland. Species affiliation of these fungi was confirmed by a new species‐specific multiplex PCR assay developed on the basis of previously published methods. The new protocol allowed for the specific identification of bull's eye rot‐causing species, both from pure cultures and directly from the skin of diseased or apparently healthy apples. In 550 samples of diseased fruits collected from nine cold storage rooms located in three regions of Poland, in 2011 and 2012, N. alba was detected as the predominant species causing bull's eye rot, occurring on average in 94% of the tested samples. Neofabraea perennans was found in a minority of apple samples, N. kienholzii was found only in two apple samples, while N. malicorticis was not detected in any sample tested. In tests on 120 apparently healthy fruits, only N. perennans was detected in a single sample. The results of genetic diversity analyses of bull's eye rot‐causing fungi based on the β‐tubulin gene sequence and an ISSR (inter‐simple sequence repeat) PCR assay with two primers were consistent, showing the expected segregation of tested isolates with respect to their species boundaries. However, the genetic distance between N. perennans and N. malicorticis was very low, as reported previously.     

Impact of macronutrient composition and palatability in wet diets on food selection in cats

Cats are obligate carnivores adapted to high‐protein diets, but are commonly fed diets rich in carbohydrate. The aim of this study was to examine the food intake choices of cats when diets with different protein and carbohydrate contents were offered. Thirty‐nine cats participated in voluntary dietary intake studies. Four foods were formulated to provide between 24% and 53% of metabolizable energy as protein, between 43% and 11% as carbohydrate and holding dietary fat constant with a contribution of approximately 36%. Foods were offered either singly to evaluate voluntary food intake or in pairs to compare food intake between pairs of diets. Cats regulated their macronutrient intake to attain an overall diet composition that provided 53% of metabolizable energy as protein, 11% as carbohydrate and 36% as fat. The protein contribution corresponded to approximately 6 g of protein/kg body weight/day. High‐protein/low‐carbohydrate diets were always eaten preferentially over low‐protein/high‐carbohydrate foods. When low‐protein/high‐carbohydrate diets were offered, cats limited their food intake to limit daily carbohydrate intake to less than 3 g of carbohydrate/kg body weight. This carbohydrate ceiling may limit protein and even energy intake when only low‐protein/high‐carbohydrate diets were offered. The inclusion of palatability enhancer in the diets increased food intake but did not change protein or carbohydrate intake patterns, indicating that macronutrient intake can be regulated regardless of the use of palatability enhancers in cats. We conclude that cats can discriminate between diets based on macronutrient composition and regulate their intake to maintain maximal protein intake but limit carbohydrate intake.
