中华稻蝗Knickkopf(Knk)基因分子特性和生物学功能

基于中华稻蝗转录组数据库,采用生物信息学方法搜索获得1条OcKnk基因全长cDNA序列,采用qRT-PCR检测其组织部位表达特性和其在表皮发育过程中表达情况,明确其分子特性,采用RNAi技术结合表型观察,研究其对中华稻蝗蜕皮和生长发育的影响,以明确其生物学功能。组织部位表达结果显示其在中华稻蝗体壁、前肠和脂肪体表达最高,发育表达结果显示其在表皮不同发育日龄均有表达,且在蜕皮前期和后期表达显著高于其他日龄。生物学功能研究表明,注射dsRNA后,多数虫体难以成功蜕去旧表皮,导致死亡,少部分可蜕至下一龄期,但活动力较低,行动缓慢,最终死亡。研究结果表明OcKnk参与昆虫生长发育和蜕皮过程,可作为重要靶标基因,为下一步害虫防治提供理论基础。     

应用real-time PCR 定量检测田间小麦条锈菌潜伏侵染的研究

 为快速、及时地定量检测处于潜育状态下的小麦条锈菌菌量,本研究于2009－2010年实施田间试验,在北京和甘肃各设3个试验小区,将小区分割成1 m×1 m或1.5 m×1.5 m的小格。初春刚返青叶片出现症状前,在每小格内采集30片叶,提取叶片基因组DNA,应用已建立的real-time PCR定量测定方法,计算每个样本的分子病情指数(molecular-detected disease index, MDI）。在本试验的天气条件和试验设计下,采样10 d后,调查田间标记采样点的发病情况,计算病情指数DI,比较MDI和DI的关系,建立回归模型。结果表明：甘肃甘谷3个试验小区的MDI和DI存在极显著的相关性（R₂¹=0.813 6,R₂²=0.884 5,R₂³=0.592 8）;北京上庄3个试验小区的MDI和DI也存在极显著的相关性（R₂¹=0.742 3,R₂²=0.578 4,R₂³=0.858 4）。本研究证明了应用分子生物学方法可估测小麦条锈病潜育侵染程度的可能性,为建立分子定量测定田间潜育侵染量系统提供了可靠依据。

探讨应用生物信息学技术预测华北大黑鳃金龟触角气味结合蛋白HoblOBP2三维结构及其与苯甲酸己酯的结合模式.利用生物信息学相关工具和网站预测HoblOBP2的基本性质,并对其三维结构进行同源建模后发现HoblOBP2的三维结构具有与昆虫普通气味结合蛋白结构的共同特点,即6个α螺旋,其中除了α2在外的5个α螺旋形成疏水结合口袋,3对二硫键起着稳定蛋白结构的作用.将苯甲酸己酯分子对接到HoblOBP2的活性区域,预测蛋白质与气味分子的结合模式,经分析可知蛋白质与气味分子主要通过范德华力和疏水作用相互影响,蛋白内部形成分子内氢键,根据蛋白与气味分子间的结合特性推测HoblOBP2与气味分子结合的三个关键结合位点分别为:LEU73,THR54和VAL137.     

Investigation of the In Vivo,In Vitro,and In Silico Wound Healing Potential of Pinctada martensii Purified Peptides

Previous studies found that both oral and topical administration of enzymatic digestion products < 3 K Da ultrafiltration fractions of Pinctada martensii mantle (PMPs) had pro-healing effects. Thus, we further purified them by Sephadex-G25 and screened them by cellular assays to obtain Pinctada martensii purified peptides (PMPPs). In this study, we explored the mechanism of PMPPs on wound healing by in vivo, in vitro, and in silico experiments. LC-MS/MS results showed that PMPPs consisted of 33 peptides with molecular weights ranging from 758.43 to 2014.04 Da, and the characteristic peptide was Leu-Asp. The results of cellular assays showed that PMPPs promoted the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts (HSF) (135%) and human immortalized keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells (125%) very significantly at 12.5 μg/mL. The in vivo results showed that PMPPs could achieve scarless healing by inhibiting the inflammatory response, accelerating the epithelialization process, and regulating collagen I/III ratio. The optimal peptide sequence FAFQAEIAQLMS of PMPPs was screened for key protein receptors in wound healing (EGFR1, FGFR1, and MMP-1) with the help of molecular docking technique, which also showed to be the key pro-healing active peptide sequence. Therefore, it may provide a therapeutic strategy with great potential for wound healing.

Characterization of a pothos (Scindapsus aureus) virus with unusual properties

A virus for which the name of pothos latent virus (PoLV) is proposed, was isolated by inoculation of sap from symptomless plants ofScindapsus aureus. PoLV had isometric particlesc. 30 nm in diameter, a monopartite genome consisting of a non polyadenylated, single-stranded RNA moleculec. 4,300 nucleotides in length, constitutingc. 17% of the particle weight, and a single type of coat protein subunit with aM _r ofc. 40,000 Daltons. The biological properties (host range reactions) of PoLV resembled those ofTombusviridae for it infected most of the artificial hosts locally, inducing symptoms recalling those elicited by several species of the above family. Like tombus- and carmoviruses, PoLV had two subgenomic RNAs which, however, differed in size from those of both genera. The dsRNA pattern was also distinctly different. Cytopathological features recalled those of tombusviruses except for the lack of multivesicular inclusion bodies. PoLV was serologically related to, but distinct from twoCarmovirus (i.e., galinsoga mosaic and Ahlum waterborne viruses) and threeTombusvirus species (i.e. eggplant mottled crinkle, Sikte waterborne and Lato river viruses). Thus, PoLV had properties somewhat intermediate between those ofTombusvirus andCarmovirus genera but bridged the two taxa through the serological relationship with some of their species. The taxonomic position of PoLV is still undetermined. It must await the results of molecular investigations now underway.
