糖苷水解酶家族基因AghyGH1a参与莲草直胸跳甲对皂苷的代谢

为了解植物化合防御物质皂苷对专食性天敌莲草直胸跳甲Agasicles hygrophila的防御作用,测定莲草直胸跳甲2龄幼虫取食皂苷后的排泄和肠道变化,利用转录组测序筛选参与皂苷代谢的候选基因,并采用 RNA 干扰技术鉴定候选基因功能。结果发现,取食皂苷导致莲草直胸跳甲幼虫排泄量增加,肠道畸变,排泄量与取食皂苷浓度正相关。转录组测序发现,与对照相比,取食 100 mmol/L皂苷处理的莲草直胸跳甲幼虫肠道有496条差异表达基因,其中261个上调基因和235个下调基因。GO分类和KEGG分类分析发现糖苷水解酶家族1（glycoside hydrolase family1,GH1）基因集中在碳水化合物水解通路。利用RNA干扰技术鉴定发现,莲草直胸跳甲AghyGH1a基因沉默可导致幼虫取食皂苷后排泄量增加,肠道内容物颜色更暗沉。表明莲草直胸跳甲AghyGH1a参与皂苷代谢。     

稻曲病菌T-DNA插入突变菌株B1241侧翼基因克隆

【目的】分析稻曲病菌(Ustilaginoidea virens)致病力减弱的T-DNA插入突变菌株B1241的生物学性状和致病力,并结合分子生物学手段研究其T-DNA插入位点的侧翼基因,以解析突变基因在稻曲病菌生长和致病过程中的作用,从而为阐明稻曲病菌致病机制提供理论基础。【方法】以野生菌株P1作为对照,观察并检测突变菌株B1241的菌落形态、生长速率、孢子形态、产孢量等生物学性状;采用注射接种的方法将菌丝和孢子的混合液接种于水稻穗苞中,统计每穗发病的病粒数,分析B1241的致病性变化;突变菌株B1241在不含有潮霉素的PSA平板上转接5代之后,PCR检测T-DNA插入的稳定性并通过Southern杂交分析B1241中T-DNA插入的拷贝数;利用HiTail-PCR获得T-DNA插入位点的侧翼序列,经NCBI比对得到侧翼基因;运用RACE-PCR克隆插入位点侧翼基因全长;qRT-PCR分析侧翼基因的表达情况。【结果】经生物学特性观察及田间接种发现,与野生菌株P1相比,突变菌株B1241在固体培养基MM、PSA和TB3上的菌落和孢子形态以及生长速率无显著差异,其致病力、产孢能力均呈极显著下降。B1241在不含潮霉素的PSA平板上转接5代之后,仍能扩增到GFP和HPH基因,说明T-DNA已经稳定地插入到其基因组中。Southern杂交结果显示T-DNA在该突变菌株中以单拷贝的形式插入。经扩增并比对侧翼序列,T-DNA的插入位点处少了28 bp的稻曲序列,有37 bp在T-DNA及稻曲病菌基因组中都没有比对到。NCBI比对发现,侧翼基因Uvt-1241与UV-8b菌株的UV8b-7878基因同源,开放阅读框长2 317 bp,包含81和106 bp的2个内含子,编码709个氨基酸。经RACE-PCR获得基因全长2 650 bp,5'非编码区长度为14 bp,3'非编码区长度为319 bp。T-DNA插入在基因Uvt-1241的启动子区域,位于起始密码子之前516 bp处。qRT-PCR分析结果表明,Uvt-1241在该突变体中表达量下降。该基因编码一个糖基水解酶18家族的蛋白,同时含有一个保守结构域D××D×D×E。【结论】稻曲病菌突变菌株B1241中,T-DNA插入到基因Uvt-1241的启动子区域,从而导致该启动子功能部分缺失,基因表达量下降,使得突变菌株的生长、产孢等生物学特性及致病力发生改变,由此推测该基因可能在稻曲病菌生长及致病过程中起着重要的作用。

Synthesis of dihydroxyphenacyl glycosides for biological and medicinal study: β-oxoacteoside from Paulownia tomentosa

The protected structure of -oxoacteoside (tomentoside A), 2-oxo-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl 3-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl--l-rhamnopyranosyl)-4-O-caffeoyl--d-glucopyranoside 14 was synthesized in 14% overall yield in 11 steps, starting from d-glucose for biological and medicinal studies of phenylpropanoid glycosides. The first step was the preparation of a 3-O-rhamnopyranosyl disaccharide sugar core 2 from a suitably protected rhamnosyl trichloroacetimidate 10 and glucose derivative (diacetone-d-glucose 1) in 71% yield. To the glucose moiety of this sugar core, several protection/deprotection procedures were performed sequentially to obtain a fully acetylated sugar core 7 with a 4-OH group on the glucose moiety, in 57% yield in five steps. Thereafter, to the 4-OH group of the glucose moiety, selective 4-O-caffeoylation was achieved by proton-transfer esterification with 3,4-di-O-allylcaffeic acid 16 to give the caffeoyl disaccharide 11 in 97% yield. Then, it was converted to trichloroacetimidate 13 for a glycosylation donor in 90% in two steps. Finally, anomeric glycosylation was conducted with 2-oxo-2-(3,4-di-allyloxyphenyl)ethyl alcohol 19 with catalytic amounts of BF₃·Et₂O to give 2-oxo-2-(3,4-di-allyloxyphenyl)ethyl 2,6-di-O-acetyl-3-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl--l-rhamnopyranosyl)-4-O-(3,4-di-allyloxycaffeoyl)--d-glucopyranoside 14 in 60% yield. Deprotected intermediates of compounds 2, 11, 14, and 19 which were obtained in high yield would be useful for biological and medicinal studies of phenylpropanoid glycosides.Part of this study was presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Gifu, April, 2002

Chitosanases from Family 46 of Glycoside Hydrolases: From Proteins to Phenotypes

Chitosanases, enzymes that catalyze the endo-hydrolysis of glycolytic links in chitosan, are the subject of numerous studies as biotechnological tools to generate low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) or chitosan oligosaccharides (CHOS) from native, high molecular weight chitosan. Glycoside hydrolases belonging to family GH46 are among the best-studied chitosanases, with four crystallography-derived structures available and more than forty enzymes studied at the biochemical level. They were also subjected to numerous site-directed mutagenesis studies, unraveling the molecular mechanisms of hydrolysis. This review is focused on the taxonomic distribution of GH46 proteins, their multi-modular character, the structure-function relationships and their biological functions in the host organisms.
