Role of proline in the imprinting developed by dipeptides — in Tetrahymena Possible role in hormone evolution

The effects of proline and serine dipeptides containing phenylalanine, alanine and leucine on the behaviour of receptors of Tetrahymena were investigated. Only proline-containing dipeptides were able to develop positive imprinting, and the activity depended on which other amino acid was present in the dipeptide. In contrast to the positive imprinting effect of the dipeptides Pro-Phe and Pro-Ala, the dipeptide Pro-Pro and Pro-Leu caused negative imprinting. Serine dipeptides produced negative imprinting in all cases. The possible importance of proline in the evolution of hormone specificity is discussed.     

云南梁河傣族育龄妇女雌激素α受体基因多态性分析

检测分析云南特有少数民族傣族育龄妇女雌激素受体基因多态性,为进一步研究不同地域种族女性ERα基因多态性与育龄期疾病及退性行疾病关系提供依据.以164例云南梁河傣族育龄妇女为研究对象,PCR-RFLP方法检测分析其ERα基因rs2234693(PvuⅡ)、rs9340799(XbaⅠ)位点的基因多态性,结果显示rs2234693位点基因型有CC、CT、TT 3种,其分布频率依次为17.1%、42.7%、40.2%;rs9340799位点基因型有AA、AG、GG 3种,其分布频率依次为66.5%、24.4%、9.1%,基因型分布频率与其他种族有所不同.云南梁河傣族育龄妇女rs2234693、rs9340799位点多态性存在种族差异.     

Olfaction in Lepidoptera

Odours play a very important role in the life of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera. In the present paper, a review is given of the current knowledge of morphology, development and function of the olfactory system in larval and adult moths and butterflies. Research regarding both the antennal and accessory olfactory pathways, as well as both the pheromone and the host odour detecting systems, is reviewed.     

雌激素受体β与乳腺癌中关系的研究进展

目的探讨雌激素受体β(ERβ)与乳腺癌关系的研究进展.方法采用文献回顾分析方法,对ERβ的功能、分型,及其乳腺癌发生、发展、预后评估及内分泌治疗反应方面的可能作用加以综述.结果ERβ可能在乳腺癌发生中的作用、对预后及内分泌治疗反应方面具有重要作用.结论虽然ERβ研究结果不一致,但仍是一种新的乳腺癌预后评估指标.     

Ontogeny of the sex steroid and prolactin receptors in the male rat adrenal gland

Summary Cytosolic estrogen and androgen receptors and membrane prolactin-binding sites in the male adrenal glands showed a definite pattern during sexual development. The level of sexual steroid receptors paralleled adrenal growth, whereas prolactin binding reached its maximum value in mature rats.Lüthy, I.

A novel comparative molecule/pseudo receptor interaction analysis

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) becomes an important tool in the modern basic chemis- try. In the 1960s, Hansch et al.[1] proposed Hansch- Fujita method to express the relationships between ac- tivities and parameters. Free et al.[2] d…     

无蹼壁虎（Gekkoswinhonis）皮肤及皮肤感受器的形态研究

应用扫描电镜和半薄切片技术对无蹼壁虎（Ｇｅｋｋｏｓｗｉｎｈｏｎｉｓ）的皮肤及皮肤感受器的表面结构和显微结构进行了观察。一般皮肤鳞片表面密集具倒钩的锥状突起，感受器位于鳞片表面的凹窝中，可分周围区和中心具感觉毛的中央区。在蜕皮周期中，表皮的显微结构变化与一般有鳞爬行类相似，但是，在感受器的表皮中无β－角质层，蜕皮时也不形成预定β－角质层，而且，紧贴感受器的表皮下有特殊的圆形真皮结构。推测感受器可能具有感受机械刺激和感受辐射热的双重功能。     

雌激素受体ERβ配体结合区的异源表达与纯化

为研究环境化合物与雌激素受体的相互作用,在大肠杆菌中异源表达了人雌激素受体ERβ的配体结合区(hERβ-LBD)蛋白。在诱导剂(IPTG)浓度为0.2mmol.L-1,培养温度25℃,诱导时间为8h的优化表达条件下,经亲和色谱法纯化后,hERβ(LBD蛋白的产量可达236mg.L-1.
