麻疯树核糖体失活蛋白(curcin)的化学修饰与其活性的关系

通过无细胞体系蛋白合成抑制活性的测定,结合荧光光谱和圆二色谱技术,对麻疯树核糖体失活蛋白(cur-c in)部分氨基酸残基进行特异性化学修饰,探讨维持curc in活性的必需氨基酸基团及修饰对curc in结构的影响.结果表明,组氨酸和半胱氨酸的修饰对活性没有影响.色氨酸和赖氨酸的修饰使curc in的活性分别下降了50%和100%,表明色氨酸和赖氨酸是维持curc in活性的重要残基.精氨酸修饰导致curc in的抑制活性完全丧失,内源荧光强度下降,最大发射波长发生红移,CD谱发生显著变化;表明精氨酸也是维持curc in活性的必需残基,并且对空间结构影响较大,推测对精氨酸的修饰破坏了精氨酸与其它基团的连接,导致curc in分子结构发生改变,失去和底物结合的能力,因而活性丧失.图3表1参34

Ants as a Measure of Effectiveness of Habitat Conservation Planning in Southern California

Abstract: In the United States multispecies habitat conservation plans were meant to be the solution to conflicts between economic development and protection of biological diversity. Although now widely applied, questions exist concerning the scientific credibility of the conservation planning process and effectiveness of the plans. We used ants to assess performance of one of the first regional conservation plans developed in the United States, the Orange County Central‐Coastal Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), in meeting its broader conservation objectives of biodiversity and ecosystem‐level protection. We collected pitfall data on ants for over 3 years on 172 sites established across a network of conservation lands in coastal southern California. Although recovered native ant diversity for the study area was high, site‐occupancy models indicated the invasive and ecologically disruptive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) was present at 29% of sites, and sites located within 200 m of urban and agricultural areas were more likely to have been invaded. Within invaded sites, native ants were largely displaced, and their median species richness declined by more than 60% compared with uninvaded sites. At the time of planning, 24% of the 15,133‐ha reserve system established by Orange County NCCP fell within 200 m of an urban or agricultural edge. With complete build out of lands surrounding the reserve, the proportion of the reserve system vulnerable to invasion will grow to 44%. Our data indicate that simply protecting designated areas from development is not enough. If habitat conservation plans are to fulfill their conservation promise of ecosystem‐level protection, a more‐integrated and systematic approach to the process of habitat conservation planning is needed.     

Interacting pressure and temperature effects on enzymes of marine poikilotherms: Catalytic and regulatory properties of FDPase from deep and shallow-water fishes

At low temperature (3°C), and in the absence of substrate and cofactor, the enzyme, fructose diphosphatase (FDPase), extracted from liver of the benthic fishCoryphaenoides acrolepis, is reversibly inactivated by exposure to relatively low pressures (5,000 psi). At pressures of 20,000 psi at 3°C the native enzyme is irreversibly denatured. When the cofactor and the substrate are present, the enzyme is protected against pressure denaturation; hence, catalysis is insensitive to at least 10,000 psi at 3°C. Similarly, interactions between FDPase and its negative modulator adenosine monophosphate (AMP), are largely pressure insensitive. Pressure sensitivity of the native enzyme and of the catalytic process is much reduced at temperatures above about 9°C. The homologous enzyme from a surface fish,Pimelometopon pulchrum, is strikingly more sensitive to pressure, particularly at low temperatures.     

外来植物紫茎泽兰入侵对根际土壤有益功能细菌群、酶活性和肥力的影响

通过对紫茎泽兰不同入侵阶段下的实地采样,分析了外来入侵植物紫茎泽兰对入侵地根际土壤有益微生物菌群和土壤酶活性以及肥力的影响。发现除了全磷、全钾以外,重度入侵土壤的功能菌数量、酶活性、土壤肥力都要显著高于其它土壤区系。根际土中有机磷细菌差异最显著,其重度入侵土中的含量是轻度入侵土中含量的3.0倍,是当地植物土中含量的1.8倍,是空白地区含量的22.2倍。同时,土壤微生物类群、土壤酶活与土壤肥力的相关分析表明,它们之间存在显著相关关系,自生固氮菌与全氮相关性最明显,为0.922。外来植物对入侵地的影响是其入侵力和生态系统可入侵性的重要组成部分,紫茎泽兰入侵提高了土壤功能菌种群和土壤酶活,从而使土壤肥力也发生了相应的变化,这可能促进其养分转化吸收,提高种群竞争力。本文为紫茎泽兰成功入侵的土壤微生物学机制提供理论依据。     

血清对Hela细胞内硫醇浓度和甲醛诱导性DNA-蛋白质交联（DPC）的影响

吸入性甲醛如何将其遗传毒性从呼吸器官经血液转移全身?这是揭示"甲醛致白血病"这个科学问题的关键.以新生牛血清(NBS)为"模拟血液",以Hela细胞为实验材料,采用体外甲醛染毒实验,研究了培养基血清对细胞内硫醇浓度,以及对甲醛诱导性DNA-蛋白质交联(DPC)的影响.结果表明,当培养基中未添加血清时,250μmol·L-1甲醛仅引起较低水平的交联效应,同时细胞内硫醇浓度水平也较低;而加入1%和10%新生牛血清以后,甲醛诱导的DPC均显著上升(p<0.01,p<0.05),同时细胞内硫醇浓度水平也显著上升(p<0.05,p<0.01).培养基中新生牛血清能够再生Hela细胞内的硫醇,同时促进细胞DPC的形成.这可能为理解甲醛远距离毒性,解释吸入甲醛是否能导致白血病提供了基础.     

Macroinvertebrate diversity of Veli and Kadinamkulam lakes, South Kerala, India

The diversity and distribution pattern of benthic macroinvertebrates in two backwaters viz., Veli and Kadinamkulam of Kerala were assessed using diversity indices. The samples were collected once in three months for a period of two years from six sampling sites (K1, K2, K3, V1, V2 and V3) and community variations were analyzed. Overall, 24 families were identified represented by mollusca, annelida and arthropoda (crustaceans and insects). Among this, dominant taxon was Mytilidae of molluscan family and site-wise dominance was maximum in sites V1 and V2. Richness and abundance were highest in site V2 and lowest in site K2. Diversity index ranged from 0.27 (K2) to 2.33 (V1). The diversity and distribution patterns of certain species were clearly related to water quality as evident from the present study.

An invader differentially affects leaf physiology of two natives across a gradient in diversity

Little is known about how exotics influence the ecophysiology of co-occurring native plants or how invader impact on plant physiology may be mediated by community diversity or resource levels. We measured the effect of the widespread invasive forb spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) on leaf traits (leaf dry matter content, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen percentage, leaf C:N ratios, and delta13C as a proxy for water use efficiency) of two co-occurring native perennial grassland species, Monarda fistulosa (bee balm) and Koeleria macrantha (Junegrass). The impact of spotted knapweed was assessed across plots that varied in functional diversity and that either experienced ambient rainfall or received supplemental water. Impact was determined by comparing leaf traits between identical knapweed-invaded and noninvaded assemblages. Virtually all M. fistulosa leaf traits were affected by spotted knapweed. Knapweed impact, however, did not scale with its abundance; the impact of knapweed on M. fistulosa was similar across heavily invaded low-diversity assemblages and lightly invaded high-diversity assemblages. In uninvaded assemblages, M. fistulosa delta13C, leaf nitrogen, and C:N ratios were unaffected by native functional group richness, whereas leaf dry matter content significantly increased and specific leaf area significantly decreased across the diversity gradient. The effects of spotted knapweed on K. macrantha were weak; instead native functional group richness strongly affected K. macrantha leaf C:N ratio, delta13C, and specific leaf area, but not leaf dry matter content. Leaf traits for both species changed in response to spotted knapweed or functional richness, and in a manner that may promote slower biomass accumulation and efficient conservation of resources. Taken together, our results show that an invader can alter native plant physiology, but that these effects are not a simple function of how many invaders exist in the community.     

Substrate supply, fine roots, and temperature control proteolytic enzyme activity in temperate forest soils

Temperature and substrate availability constrain the activity of the extracellular enzymes that decompose and release nutrients from soil organic matter (SOM). Proteolytic enzymes are the primary class of enzymes involved in the depolymerization of nitrogen (N) from proteinaceous components of SOM, and their activity affects the rate of N cycling in forest soils. The objectives of this study were to determine whether and how temperature and substrate availability affect the activity of proteolytic enzymes in temperate forest soils, and whether the activity of proteolytic enzymes and other enzymes involved in the acquisition of N (i.e., chitinolytic and ligninolytic enzymes) differs between trees species that form associations with either ectomycorrhizal or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Temperature limitation of proteolytic enzyme activity was observed only early in the growing season when soil temperatures in the field were near 4 degrees C. Substrate limitation to proteolytic activity persisted well into the growing season. Ligninolytic enzyme activity was higher in soils dominated by ectomycorrhizal associated tree species. In contrast, the activity of proteolytic and chitinolytic enzymes did not differ, but there were differences between mycorrhizal association in the control of roots on enzyme activity. Roots of ectomycorrhizal species but not those of arbuscular mycorrhizal species exerted significant control over proteolytic, chitinolytic, and ligninolytic enzyme activity; the absence of ectomycorrhizal fine roots reduced the activity of all three enzymes. These results suggest that climate warming in the absence of increases in substrate availability may have a modest effect on soil-N cycling, and that global changes that alter belowground carbon allocation by trees are likely to have a larger effect on nitrogen cycling in stands dominated by ectomycorrhizal fungi.
