量子化学方法研究HZSM-5沸石结构酸性(Ⅳ)

HZSM-5沸石分子筛硅铝骨架结构基本单元为五元环,它通过氧桥联接而得到单元为四元环、六元环。本文采用CNDO/2半经验量子化学的方法,对HZSM-5沸石基本结构单元—四、五、六元环的电荷分布进行计算。依据Mortier等人处理y型沸石分子筛酸性的基本思想,从而得到了HZSM-5沸石分子筛酸性结构参数α_0。Barthomeuf等认为沸石分子筛可作为一个多元酸的电解质溶液,因此其质子酸度应用活度来表示。a_(H~+)=[H~+]f_(H~+),而活度系数f_(H~+)为结构参数乘以一个常数,f_(H~+)=Kα_0,我们取K=32,[H~+]=nH~+αN_(A_1)/Z_(cat),从理论上求出HZSM-5沸石分子筛在不同硅铝比时的活度,其结果和实验值相一致。这为从理论上计算HZSM-5沸石分子筛的酸性提供了一个参考方法。     

Rb regulates proliferation and rod photoreceptor development in the mouse retina

The retinoblastoma protein (Rb) regulates proliferation, cell fate specification and differentiation in the developing central nervous system (CNS), but the role of Rb in the developing mouse retina has not been studied, because Rb-deficient embryos die before the retinas are fully formed. We combined several genetic approaches to explore the role of Rb in the mouse retina. During postnatal development, Rb is expressed in proliferating retinal progenitor cells and differentiating rod photoreceptors. In the absence of Rb, progenitor cells continue to divide, and rods do not mature. To determine whether Rb functions in these processes in a cell-autonomous manner, we used a replication-incompetent retrovirus encoding Cre recombinase to inactivate the Rb1(lox) allele in individual retinal progenitor cells in vivo. Combined with data from studies of conditional inactivation of Rb1 using a combination of Cre transgenic mouse lines, these results show that Rb is required in a cell-autonomous manner for appropriate exit from the cell cycle of retinal progenitor cells and for rod development.     

A specific requirement for PDGF-C in palate formation and PDGFR-alpha signaling

PDGF-C is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family, which signals through PDGF receptor (PDGFR) alphaalpha and alphabeta dimers. Here we show that Pdgfc(-/-) mice die in the perinatal period owing to feeding and respiratory difficulties associated with a complete cleft of the secondary palate. This phenotype was less severe than that of Pdgfra(-/-) embryos. Pdgfc(-/-) Pdgfa(-/-) embryos developed a cleft face, subepidermal blistering, deficiency of renal cortex mesenchyme, spina bifida and skeletal and vascular defects. Complete loss of function of both ligands, therefore, phenocopied the loss of PDGFR-alpha function, suggesting that both PDGF-A and PDGF-C signal through PDGFR-alpha to regulate the development of craniofacial structures, the neural tube and mesodermal organs. Our results also show that PDGF-C signaling is a new pathway in palatogenesis, different from, and independent of, those previously implicated.     

SPTLC1 is mutated in hereditary sensory neuropathy, type 1

Hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1 (HSN1, MIM 162400; ref. 1) genetically maps to human chromosome 9q22 (refs. 2-4). We report here that the gene encoding a subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase is located within the HSN1 locus, expressed in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and mutated in HSN1.

A mouse model for spinal muscular atrophy

The survival motor neuron gene is present in humans in a telomeric copy, SMN1, and several centromeric copies, SMN2. Homozygous mutation of SMN1 is associated with proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a severe motor neuron disease characterized by early childhood onset of progressive muscle weakness. To understand the functional role of SMN1 in SMA, we produced mouse lines deficient for mouse Smn and transgenic mouse lines that expressed human SMN2. Smn-/- mice died during the peri-implantation stage. In contrast, transgenic mice harbouring SMN2 in the Smn-/- background showed pathological changes in the spinal cord and skeletal muscles similar to those of SMA patients. The severity of the pathological changes in these mice correlated with the amount of SMN protein that contained the region encoded by exon 7. Our results demonstrate that SMN2 can partially compensate for lack of SMN1. The variable phenotypes of Smn-/-SMN2 mice reflect those seen in SMA patients, providing a mouse model for this disease.
