HIV-1 Tat蛋白定点突变的分子动力学模拟

ＨＩＶ－１Ｔａｔ的Ｃｙｓ富集区,核心区和碱性氨基酸富集区是高度保守的,并且对于Ｔａｔ反式激活作用至关重要。用分子动力学模拟的方法构建了ＨＩＶ－１ Ｔａｔ蛋白在上述３个区域进行定点突变的６种突变体的三维结构,分析了突变体的结构变化,并与实验结果相对照讨论了导致突变体失活的原因。     

A novel genome-wide fulllength kinesin prediction analysis reveals additional mammalian kinesins

Kinesins are microtubule-based motor proteins that perform diverse functions[1―6], including the transloca- tion of vesicles, organelles, chromosomes, proteincomplexes, RNA-binding proteins (RNPs), etc. They also help to orchestrate microtubule dynamics …     

HA、LN、PⅢNP、IV-C在肝纤维化诊断中的意义

目的：探讨血清透明质酸（HA），层粘连蛋白（LN），Ⅲ型前胶原（PCⅢ），Ⅳ型胶原（CⅣ）的测定在诊断肝纤维化中的意义。方法：采用放射免疫分析法分别对235例急、慢性肝炎，肝硬化，肝癌患者及46例健康人血清HA、LN、PCⅢ、Ⅳ-C检测，并进行了统计分析。结果：急慢性肝炎、肝硬化、肝癌的4项指标定量结果均高于对照组。结论：结合临床初步评价这四种1995年中华医学会《病毒性肝炎防治方案》推荐的肝纤维化指标在肝纤维化的诊断有较大意义。     

猪血蛋白源利用初探

1.采用动物酶一次性水解猪全血与干血粉获得含17种氨基酸的水解物,蛋白质含量达83.33%。对该水解物进行了氨氮、总氮、蛋白质含量、氨基酸组成的一系列分析。以水解物连续饲养小白鼠30天,未见毒性,分析饲喂30天后的小白鼠血浆蛋白及 SH 含量,发现血清蛋白含量增长,SH 含量未见变化.30天后肝组织重量及指数不变,解剖观察小白鼠也未见病变.进一步说明水解物无毒性,唯免疫器官脾脏增大21%,最后以1%浓度水解物添加普通酱油,结果提高氨氮32.43%.2.对比研究了硫酸水解猪血粉提制复合氨基酸工艺,又研究了猪血蛋白质水解液用石灰乳脱酸制备复合 L—氨基酸的方法。     

Regulation of BMP4 on the proliferation and differentiation in SVZa neural stem cells

The neural stem cells in the anterior subventricular zone (SVZa) mainly generate the progenitors that will differentiate into neurons, and along a highly circumscribed migratory access Rostral migratory stream (RMS), they migrate to the olfactory bulbs (OB). To understand the effects of BMPs on SVZa neural stem cells, in this study BMP4 at various concentrations was used to induce SVZa neural stem cells, and the living cell labeling using BMP4 promotor conjugated with red fluorescence protein showed the expression of BMP4 dynamically. The results demonstrated that low BMP4 doses (1-5 ng/mL) promoted while high doses (10-100 ng/mL) inhibited the proliferation of SVZa neural stem cells, and BMP4 promotedneuron differentiation in the early stage (1-3 d), howeverm, it inhibited the neuron commitment after 4 d. Noggin, the antagonist of BMP4, blocked the physiological effects of BMP4. In OB, BMP4 is mainly to accelerate the progenitors to withdraw from the cell cycle and trigger the differentiation, and in RMS, it promotes the proliferation of committed progenitors and not differentiation, further in SVZa, BMP4 enhances astrocyte commitment.

Study on properties of residue-residue contacts in protein

Residue-residue contacts are very important in forming protein structure. In this work, we calculated the average probability of residue-residue contacts in 470 globular proteins and analyzed the distribution of contacts in the different interval of residues using Contacts of Structural Units (CSU) and Structural Classification (SCOP) software. It was found that the relationship between the average probability PL and the residue distance L for four structural classes of proteins could be expressed as lgPL=a+b x L, where a and b are coefficients. We also discussed the connection between two aspects of proteins which have equal array residue number and found that the distribution probability was stable (or un-stable) if the proteins had the same (or different) compact (for example synthase) in the same structural class.     

二价铜离子对牛正常朊蛋白二级结构的影响

研究了二价铜离子对牛朊蛋白的二级结构的影响.牛朊蛋白(BoPrPc)的小分子(BoPrPcS)和大分子(BoPrPcL)经初步纯化后,在含Cu2+的碱性溶液中氧化,用反相柱进行氧化态和还原态的BoPrPcL和BoPrPcS的分离.质谱分析证明氧化态的Bo-prPcL和BoPrPcS分子质量分别为24.064,15.819ku.用远紫外圆二色谱(Far-UVCD)分析显示,BoPrPcS在208和222m处出现两个负峰,为典型的α-螺旋型结构;而Bo-PrPcL在222nm处负峰减小.与未经氧化的BoPrPcL的质谱和CD结果比较后发现,氧化后的BoPrPcL在八肽重复区结合了6个Cu2+,其β-折叠含量明显增加.而Cu2+对BoPrPcS二级结构基本无影响.BoPrPcL结合Cu2+的特性及其二级结构的相应变化可能与细胞内抗Cu2+毒性与氧化压力有关.
