Approaches to Configuration Determinations of Flexible Marine Natural Products: Advances and Prospects

Flexible marine natural products (MNPs), such as eribulin and bryostatin, play an important role in the development of modern marine drugs. However, due to the multiple chiral centers and geometrical uncertainty of flexible systems, configuration determinations of flexible MNPs face great challenges, which, in turn, have led to obstacles in druggability research. To resolve this issue, the comprehensive use of multiple methods is necessary. Additionally, configuration assignment methods, such as X-ray single-crystal diffraction (crystalline derivatives, crystallization chaperones, and crystalline sponges), NMR-based methods (JBCA and Mosher’s method), circular dichroism-based methods (ECCD and ICD), quantum computational chemistry-based methods (NMR calculations, ECD calculations, and VCD calculations), and chemical transformation-based methods should be summarized. This paper reviews the basic principles, characteristics, and applicability of the methods mentioned above as well as application examples to broaden the research and applications of these methods and to provide a reference for the configuration determinations of flexible MNPs.

红鳞蒲桃苗木生长和生理生化特征对不同盐分和干旱胁迫的响应

以1年生红鳞蒲桃盆栽苗木为研究对象,设置不同盐胁迫浓度及干旱程度,研究盐旱交互作用对红鳞蒲桃苗木的高、地径生长和各项生理指标的影响。结果表明：干旱和盐胁迫都抑制了红鳞蒲桃的生长,盐胁迫的影响要大于干旱胁迫,高生长受到的限制大于地径生长,2 g/kg盐分浓度在水分充足条件下促进了地径生长。相对电导率和丙二醛含量均随着干旱和盐胁迫的增强而增大。不同盐分浓度下,干旱胁迫对相对电导率的影响趋势一致,不同盐分胁迫的影响差异不显著。高盐浓度下丙二醛含量的增加显著大于低盐浓度,表明盐胁迫对红鳞蒲桃的伤害更大;红鳞蒲桃的渗透调节物质在干旱和盐交互胁迫下有一定程度的提高。水分充足时,盐分浓度的变化没有对红鳞蒲桃的游离脯氨酸含量产生影响。随着胁迫的增加,渗透调节能力显著提高。低盐浓度下,抗氧化酶活性在水分充足时没有受到显著影响,高盐浓度下,随着干旱胁迫的加剧则显著提高。     

Hybridization between Crassostrea hongkongensis and Crassostrea ariakensis at Different Salinities

To evaluate the survival and growth performance of hybrid larvae and juveniles, we conducted hybridization experiments between Crassostrea hongkongensis and Crassostrea ariakensis at three salinities (15, 23, and 30 ppt). Hybrid fertilization occurred in one direction (C. hongkongensis ♀ and C. ariakensis ♂), and the fertilization rates did not differ significantly among the three trial salinities. Molecular genetics analysis revealed that hybrid progenies were true hybrids. Hybrid juveniles survived better than C. hongkongensis juveniles at a salinity of 30 ppt. Hybrid larvae and juveniles showed intermediate growth between C. hongkongensis and C. ariakensis progenies. The growth of hybrid juveniles was significantly greater than that of C. hongkongensis juveniles at a salinity of 30 ppt. Overall, C. hongkongensis has a high economic value but favorable hatchery and farm of this species is restricted to lower salinity sites. Because the hybrids were shown to have greater growth and survival characteristics at high salinity, hybrids may be a more desirable candidate to be cultured in those areas of China with higher salinities, such as the Bohai Sea of China where the salinity is usually 30 ppt.     

水稻突变体W33高位分蘖特性利用价值研究

为探讨水稻突变体材料W33高位分蘖特性在水稻育种上的利用价值。以野生型水稻恢复系R818及其高节位分蘖突变体W33为试验材料,用盆栽试验研究R818和W33的植株、分蘖和穗部性状差异,用大田栽培控制性试验比较R818和W33分蘖、产量构成性状及子粒产量差异,测得参试材料各性状数据。结果表明,生长前期W33和R818株高、主茎叶均长无明显差异,中后期二者株高、主茎叶均长渐显显著或极显著差异;W33单株平均分蘖数是R818的7.5~8.8倍,平均有效穗数是R818的8.6倍,分蘖平均成穗率与R818相当,但单穗穗长、枝梗数和着粒数明显低于R818,而千粒重与R818无明显差异;W33和R818单株籽粒产量均随密度增大而降低,并以最低密度条件下最高,最高密度条件下最低;尽管W33单穗产量明显低于R818,但在相同栽插密度条件下,W33和R818群体产量差异不显著(F=3.7868<F_0.05,1,4);在一定密度范围内,W33能充分发挥其旺盛的分蘖力和较高的成穗率优势,以弥补单穗产量较低的缺陷,其群体产量最终达到与R818相当的水平。说明W33旺盛的分蘖力和较高的分蘖成穗率特性在水稻育种上具有一定的利用价值。     

Generation of a uniform thymic malignant lymphoma model with C57BL/6J p53 gene deficient mice

Lymphoma is the third most common cancer diagnosed in children, and T-cell lymphoma has the worst prognosis based on clinical observations. To date, a lymphoma model with uniform penetrance has not yet been developed. In this study, we generated a p53 deficient mouse model by targeting embryonic stem cells derived from a C57BL/6J mouse strain. Homozygous p53 deficient mice exhibited a higher rate of spontaneous tumorigenesis, with a high spontaneous occurrence rate (93.3%) of malignant lymphoma. Because tumor models with high phenotypic consistency are currently needed, we generated a lymphoma model by a single intraperitoneal injection of 37.5 or 75 mg/kg N-methyl-N-nitrosourea to p53 deficient mice. Lymphoma and retinal degeneration occurred in 100% of p53^+/− mice administered with higher concentrations of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, a much greater response than those of previously reported models. The main anatomic sites of lymphoma were the thymus, spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Both induced and spontaneous lymphomas in the thymus and spleen stained positive for CD3 antigen, and flow cytometry detected positive CD4 and/or CD8 cells. Based on our observations and previous data, we hypothesize that mice with a B6 background are prone to lymphomagenesis.     

温度胁迫下沙葱萤叶甲小热激蛋白基因GdHsp20.6的克隆及表达分析

为明确小热激蛋白在沙葱萤叶甲Galeruca daurica应对温度胁迫中的作用,采用PCR方法克隆沙葱萤叶甲小热激蛋白基因Hsp20（GdHsp20.6）完整的开放阅读框（open reading frame,ORF）序列,应用在线软件对GdHsp20.6基因进行生物信息学分析,通过原核表达技术诱导表达及纯化其编码蛋白,并通过实时荧光定量PCR（real-time quantitative PCR,RT-qPCR）技术分析不同温度胁迫下GdHsp20.6基因的表达量。结果显示,GdHsp20.6基因ORF序列长度为543 bp,编码180个氨基酸,预测分子量为20.6 kD,无跨膜区和信号肽。GdHsp20.6氨基酸序列有高度保守的α-结构域。GdHsp20.6氨基酸序列与其它鞘翅目昆虫的Hsp20氨基酸序列有较高的一致性,其中与花绒寄甲Dastarcus helophoroides的Hsp20.99氨基酸序列的一致性最高,为63%。GdHsp20.6基因在大肠杆菌Escherichia coli BL21（DE3）细胞系中成功表达,经异丙基-β-D-硫代吡喃半乳糖苷（isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside,IPTG）诱导后GdHsp20.6蛋白成功表达,十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,SDS-PAGE）和Western-blot分析表明融合蛋白大小与预测大小一致,并纯化获得了纯度较高的目的蛋白GdHsp20.6。低温（-10~5℃）和高温（35~40℃）处理1 h以及处理后25℃恢复30 min均能诱导GdHsp20.6基因表达上调,并且0℃处理30~120 min也能诱导GdHsp20.6基因表达上调。表明GdHsp20.6基因在沙葱萤叶甲应对低温和高温胁迫中可能起着重要作用。
