番茄SlSL1重组蛋白的表达、纯化及体外泛素化活性检测

泛素化作为真核生物细胞内普遍存在且极为关键的蛋白质翻译后修饰,可以使被修饰的蛋白质发生降解,在植物生长发育、胁迫应答等方面发挥着重要作用。泛素化降解需要通过E3泛素连接酶特异性识别靶蛋白并对其进行修饰,因此E3连接酶在泛素化途径中起着决定性的作用。文章通过克隆番茄SlSL1基因编码序列、构建原核重组表达质粒,并利用诱导表达、亲和吸附纯化SlSL1重组蛋白,以此进行SlSL1的体外泛素化活性检测。SDS-PAGE电泳和考马斯亮蓝染色结果显示,由所构建番茄SlSL1基因重组质粒纯化获得SlSL1蛋白;体外泛素化检测显示,SlSL1蛋白形成多聚化泛素条带,具有E3泛素连接酶活性,表明SlSL1可能在番茄的泛素化调控途径中发挥功能。

26S蛋白酶体调控微管蛋白的降解

为了探究微管蛋白在植物细胞中的降解机制,本文利用微管解聚药物、蛋白酶体抑制剂MG132结合遗传学和分子生物学等体内体外研究技术发现微管蛋白TUA和TUB是通过泛素化/26S蛋白酶体途径降解的,同时在26S蛋白酶体调节亚基RPN10突变体rpn10-1的植株中,TUA的降解与野生型相比没有显著差别,但是TUB的降解在突变体中被严重削弱,使得TUB在突变体中过量积累.此外,在突变体中分别过量表达TUA和TUB,对转基因植株鉴定表明过量表达TUA促进突变体根的生长而过量表达TUB严重抑制了突变体的生长,说明在突变体中TUA/TUB的比例是失衡的,过量的TUB蛋白对植物的生长是不利的.以上结果表明,26S蛋白酶体可以调控微管蛋白TUA和TUB的降解,蛋白酶体调控亚基RPN10可以通过调控TUB的稳定性来影响植物的生长和发育.

Akt–Oct4 regulatory circuit in pluripotent stem cells

Oct4 is mainly expressed in embryonic stem cells(ESCs),germline stem cells,and embryonal carcinoma cells(ECCs)and plays an indispensable role in maintaining the pluripotency and self-renewal of these pluripotent stem cells.Akt serine/threonine kinase,a wellestablished anti-apoptosis and cell survival factor,has also been implicated as an important regulator of stemness.Emerging evidence indicated that Oct4 is reciprocally connected to Akt via a number of routes,and moreover,a direct interaction between Oct4 and Akt has recently been revealed.These components collectively form the Akt–Oct4 regulatory circuit.In this review,we summarize our current knowledge about the Akt–Oct4 regulatory circuit in ESCs and discuss its alterations in ECCs that may underlie the tumorigenesis of pluripotent stem cells.     

Identification and function analysis of spectrin-like protein in pollen tubes of lily （Lilium davidii Duch）

The elongation of pollen tube is an important process of sexual reproduction in higher plant. Cytoskeleton plays a major regulatory role in the elongation of pollen tubes. But whether membrane skeleton is involved in the pollen tube elongation is not clear. In this study, immunochemical detection of spectrin-like protein has been carried out in pollen tubes. By use of 2-dimensional electrophoresis(2DE) and western blotting, two spectrin-like proteins are found, one is 150 kD, and the other is 105 kD, with pl being 4.54 and 4.39, respectively. 150 kD spectrin-like protein is located in plasma membrane of pollen tube and 105 kD spectrin-like protein is located in cytoplasm, probably functioning as a subunit to form a dimmer (210 kD) in vivo. The elongation of pollen tubes is inhibited after spectrin antibody was injected into a growing pollen tube. These results suggest that spectrin-like proteins exist in pollen tube and play an important regulating role in the elongation process of pollen tubes from lily.

Effects of ubiquitin-protea-some pathway on mouse sperm capacitation, acrosome reaction and in vitro fertilization

Chlortetracycline (CTC) fluorescence patterns were used to study changes in the patterns B and AR of mouse sperm after incubation with reagents that would block the UPP. They were the monoclonal antibody against ubiquitinated proteins-UCP1; the polyclonal antibody against ubiquitin anti-Ub, and a special inhibitor against proteasome ALLN. Furthermore, we treated the capacitated sperm or the eggs with these reagents separately and tested whether the normal in vitro fertilization was blocked or not. Results illustrate that UCP1, anti-Ub, and ALLN have little effects on sperm capacitation and acrosome reaction,but they do inhibit fusion of mouse sperm with eggs, which suggests that UPP play an important role in mouse in vitro fertilization.``
