一个新C2H2型锌指蛋白的功能的初步研究

通过筛选人18周胎脑cDNA文库,得到一条编码332AA的全长新基因,生物信息学研究表明,该蛋白质序列有2个C2H2型锌指结构,其中1个锌指结构有RNA－binding蛋白特异锌指的特征,虽然同源比较发现与多种蛋白质精氨酸N端转甲基酶（protein arginine N-methyltransferase) 有一定的同源性,但新锌指蛋白不含转甲基酶的活性功能区域,属功能未知的基因,利用芯片研究功能未知基因的表达是一种较好的手段,通过代谢增强剂PMA（phorbol myristae acetate)刺激培养的血管内皮细胞,观察细胞受激活后新锌指蛋白基因的表达变化,结果表明新基因表达量提高了11倍以上,证实新基因属内皮细胞的极早期应答基因（Immediate early response gene,ERG)。

小鼠胚胎脑特异表达的新基因bsg3的克隆及初步研究

通过消减差异筛选的方法克隆到一个在小鼠胚胎脑特异表达的基因bsg3(brain specific gene 3).它编码的蛋白与人的KIAA0961具有80.3%的同源性.bsg3基因包含一个1644bp的完整阅读框,编码一个含548个氨基酸,具有1个KRAB结构域(kruppel-associated box)和13个C2H2型锌指结构域的蛋白.该基因定位在小鼠第7号染色体上,包含5个外显子,4个内含子.以bsg3基因全长编码区为探针的原位杂交结果显示,bsg3在小鼠胚胎脑及鸡胚脑特异表达.半定量反转录聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)的结果表明,在成体小鼠的组织中,bsg3基因脑中表达也较强.这提示bsg3基因可能在小鼠脑发育中起着重要的作用.对bsg3基因时间和空间的表达模式的分析将有助于进一步揭示它在脑发育及功能维持中的作用.     

人源锌指蛋白ZNF24及其锌指结构域的表达、纯化及DNA结合性质的研究

转录因子是调控基因表达的关键蛋白，能够以序列特异性方式结合DNA。ZNF24是Krüppel-like锌指转录因子家族成员之一，在细胞增殖和分化中起重要作用，能促进肝癌细胞的增殖，抑制神经元细胞的分化。ZNF24蛋白N端包含一个SCAN结构域，C端为锌指区，由4个串联的C2H2型锌指结构组成。ZNF24能特异性识别和结合基因的启动子，参与基因的表达调控，但其发挥功能的具体分子机制并不清楚。本文我们在大肠杆菌中成功表达了人源锌指蛋白ZNF24全长和其锌指结构域ZNF24(243～368),ZNF24全长蛋白在溶液中以三聚体形式存在，而锌指结构域在溶液中为单体，表明ZNF24蛋白N端的SCAN结构域能够促进全长蛋白的寡聚化。凝胶迁移实验验证ZNF24全长蛋白和锌指结构域与双链DNA底物结合能力，为进一步研究锌指蛋白ZNF24调控基因表达提供理论基础，相关结果表明SCAN结构域介导的蛋白寡聚可能代表了一种新的转录活性调节机制。

Markedness and its Interpretation in Language Use

Language markedness is a common phenomenon in languages, and is reflected from hearing, vision and sense, i.e. the variation in the three aspects such as phonology, morphology and semantics. This paper focuses on the interpretation of markedness in language use following the three perspectives, i.e. pragmatic interpretation, psychological interpretation and cognitive interpretation, with an aim to define the function of markedness.

理论推导与室内实验相结合,建立了低渗透非均质砂岩油藏启动压力梯度确定方法。首先借助油藏流场与电场相似的原理,推导了非均质砂岩油藏启动压力梯度计算公式。其次基于稳定流实验方法,建立了非均质砂岩油藏启动压力梯度测试方法。结果表明:低渗透非均质砂岩油藏的启动压力梯度确定遵循两个等效原则。平面非均质油藏的启动压力梯度等于各级渗透率段的启动压力梯度关于长度的加权平均;纵向非均质油藏的启动压力梯度等于各渗透率层的启动压力梯度关于渗透率与渗流面积乘积的加权平均。研究成果可用于有效指导低渗透非均质砂岩油藏的合理井距确定,促进该类油藏的高效开发。     

On Tragic Consciousness In The Works By Ernest Hemingway

As an American modern novelist who were famous in the literary world, Hemingway was not a person who always followed the trend but a sharp observer. At the same time, he was a tragedy maestro, he paid great attention on existence, fate and end-result. The dramatis personae's tragedy of his works was an extreme limit by all means tragedy on the meaning of fearless challenge that failed. The beauty of tragedy was not produced on the destruction of life, but now this kind of value was in the impact activity. They performed for the reader about the tragedy on challenging for the limit and the death.     

Achieving Unusual States of Matter Under High Pressure

正The periodicity of the elements and the non-reactivity of the inner-shell electrons are two related principles of chemistry,rooted in the atomic shell structure.Within compounds,Group I elements,for example,invariably assume the+1 oxidation state,and their chemical properties differ completely from those of the p-block elements.These general rules govern our understanding of chemical structures and reactions.Using first principles calcula-     

Exchange-Correlation and Electronic Excitation Energies from Pairing Matrix Fluctuations

We have developed an adiabatic connection to formulate the ground-state exchange-correlation energy in terms of pairing matrix linear fluctuations.This formulation of the exchange-correlation energy opens a new channel for density functional approximations based on the many-body perturbation theory.We illustrate the potential of such approaches with an approximation based on the particle-particle Random Phase Approximation(pp-RPA).This re-     

Density Functional Theory for the Response of Periodic Systems to Electric Fields Based on the Vector Potential Approach

正The electronic and nuclear(structural/vibrational)response of 1D-3D nanoscale systems to electric fields gives rise to a host of optical,mechanical,spectral,etc.properties that are of high theoretical and applied interest.Due to the computational difficulty of treating such large systems it is convenient to model them as infinite and periodic(at least,in first approximation).The fundamental theoretical/computational problem in doing so is that     

On the Thermodynamic Limit for Responses to Static Electromagnetic Fields

For molecular systems,the quantum-mechanical treatment of their responses to static electromagnetic fields usually employs a scalar-potential treatment of the electric field and a vector-potential treatment of the magnetic field.Although the potential for each field separately is associated with the choice of an(unphysical)origin,the precise choice of the origin for the electrostatic field has little consequences for the results.This is different for the     

An affordable accurate evaluation of the binding conformations predicted by molecular docking studies in bio-system

Franck-Condon factors bridge the gap between theoretical modeling and experimental observations for molecular electronic spectroscopy and electron transfer.Under the displaced harmonic oscillator approximation,multidimensional Franck-Condon factors are decomposed into a product of many one-dimensional(1D)Franck-Condon(FC)factors,and each 1D-FC factor is associated with one Huang-Rhys factor that determines the leading contribution of
