N-terminal of L protein of vesicular stomatitis virus contains a new signal sequence

The L protein (241kD) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is the most important snbnnit of the replication complex. The existence of specific localization signal in the L protein was investigated by making recombinant constructs expressing truncated mutants of the L protein fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) in transient transfection assays. The chimeric genes encoding varied N-terminal of L and GFP gene were put under the control of T7 promoter or CMV promoter. The fusion proteins were transiently expressed in BHK-21, COS-7, CHO or Hep G2 cells. When more than 120 residues were deleted or only 96 residues were kept on the N-terminal, the fusion proteins were shown to be distributed throughout the cells, cytoplasm and nucleus under the confocal microscope. However, other chimeric proteins with 120 or more amino acids were dotted and distributed in the perinuclear regions. And the fusion protein with 96—120 aa has the similar distribution. A thirteen-residue peptide QGYSFLHEVDKEA (108—120) was identified as localization signal, whose function would be absolutely distributed with the deficiency of D or V. Our results show that there is an independent localizing signal in N-terminal domain of L protein of VSV and this functional signal is conserved in different cell lines.     

Analysis of cDNA sequence, protein structure and expression of parotid secretory protein in pig

Parotid secretory protein (PSP) secreted abundantly in saliva, whose function is related with the anti-bacterial effect. The PSP cDNA has been isolated from pig parotid glands by 3′ and 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE), based on the conserved signal peptide region among the known mammalian PSP. The result of homologous comparison shows that pig PSP and human PSP shares the high identity at the level of the primary, secondary and tertiary protein structure. A search for functionally significant protein motifs revealed a unique amino acid sequence pattern consisting of the residues Leu-X(6)-Leu-X(6)-Leu-X(7)-Leu-X(6)-Leu-X(6)-Leu near the amino-terminal portion of the protein, which is important to its function. RT-PCR, Dot blot and Northern blot analysis demonstrated that PSP was strongly expressed in parotid glands, but not in other tissues.     

Inhibitory effect of the adenovirus type 5 E1A protein expressed in the yeast system of the human tumor cell growth

Adenovirus 5 type E1A as a tumor suppressor gene can inhibit tumor growth and enhance the censitivity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.E1A have the ability to integrate into the host genome,resulting in long-time expres-sion that induces Rb gene inactivation and animal cells im-mortalization.This prompted us to select the E1A protein for treatment of cancer in order to overcome the limitations of E1A gene therapy.Thus,we firstly comstructed E1A eu-caryotic expression vector (pPIC9/E1A),transformated the pichia pastoris yeast cells(GS115) and screened the high-expressing recombinant strains.The positive yeast strains were cultured in the shake flask,and induced for 3d.The crude E1A protein was purified using two steps of col-umu chromatography on HiTrap Q and HiTrap SP.The pu-rified E1A protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.E1A protein was mostly located at cellular unclear when Cheriot delivered E1A protein into cells.The analysis in vitro indicated that the E1A protein arrested LN686 cell cycle at G2/M phase,and significantly inhibited the growth of LN686 tumor cells.The current studies firstly provided an experimental basis to further develop E1A protein for tumor treatment.

一种在压缩域内的帧类型转换方法

论述了在压缩域内将MPEG-2码流中的B帧或P帧转换为Ⅰ帧的方法。根据DCT变换的正交特性，在将运动补偿运算转换为矩阵相乘运算后，推导出压缩域帧类型转换的计算公式。针对采用半像素精度运动估计的帧，对相应公式做了修正。由于量化阶的选择极大影响转换过程中的失真程度和码率的大小，提出了一种重新计算量化阶的方法，利用压缩域的信息计算宏块的活动性，并由该活动性信息调整量化阶的大小。仿真实验验证了所提出方法的有效性。

新基因ZNF325在人类早期胚胎中的表达

锌指蛋白基因家族是人类最大的基因家族之一，目前已知的很多转录调控因子都是锌指蛋白成员^[1]。初步克隆了一个与RBAK基因有着高度同源性的人类C2H2型锌指蛋白新基因，经国际基因命名委员会批准命名为ZNF325，此基因位于染色体7p22，长2697个碱基，含5个外显子，在基因组DNA上长15kb。它编码的蛋白质全长462个氨基酸，含15个C2H2型的锌指。Northern Bolt分析表明该基因在人类早期胚胎的各个组织中普遍表达，在肺和脑中的表达水平最强，但在肝中的表达随着胚胎的发育而逐渐减少。它的结构和表达特征预示着它编码的是一个具DNA结合功能的转录调控因子。
