A novel salicylaldehyde dehydrosenase-NahV involved in catabolism of naphthalene from Pseudomonas putida ND6

A novel salicylaldehyde dehydrogenase involved in catabolism of naphthalene from Pseudomonas putida ND6, NahV, has been identified. NahV exhibited lower identity in amino acid sequence with the classic salicylaldehyde dehydrogenase, NahF, from P. putida ND6. This is the first report of an isofunctional enzyme of bacterial salicylaldehyde dehydrogenase. Comparison of Km and Vmax values of NahV and NahF demonstrated that NahF has a more efficient catalytic reaction than NahV, while NahV has much higher affinity for salicylaldehyde and NAD^＋. Both enzymes exhibited broad substrate specificities and catalyzed the oxidation of salicylaldehyde, 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, formaldehyde, m-nitrobenzaldehyde, o-nitrobenzaldehyde, o-methoxybenxaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, caprylic aldehyde, and glyoxal. However, the relative rates at which the substituted analogs are transformed differ considerably. NahV activity could be enhanced by Fe^2＋, Cu^2＋ and Zn^2＋; whereas NahF activity could only be stimulated by Fe^2＋, NahF is more stable than NahV at elevated temperatures. Dot-blot hybridization analyses showed that nahF-like genes occurred in all naphthalene-degradation bacteria isolated in this study, whereas nahV-like genes were present in only some naphthalene-degrading bacteria.     

IL-1β regulates the mouse Fas ligand expression in corneal endothelial cells

Constitutively expressed Fas ligand (FasL) in several distinct epithelial cell types appears to protect tissues by inducing apoptosis of Fas immune cells during inflammatory reactions. To study the rela-tionship of FasL and inflammation process in cornea,we examined the effects of inflammatory cytokine IL-1β on the FasL production,expression and cytotoxic function in corneal endothelial cells. In this paper,we demonstrate that IL-1β inhibits the FasL production and expression in corneal endothelial cells. The promoter activities of FasL in these cells are reduced by IL-1β in a dose-dependent manner. Finally,we also find that IL-1β block the cytotoxic effects of FasL derived from corneal endothelial cells to the Fas target cells. These data support the view that FasL derived from corneal endothelial cells modulate inflammation within cornea.

中华绒螯蟹酚氧化酶原系统与颤抖病的关系

近年来,颤抖病给中华绒螯蟹养殖业造成了巨大的经济损失.酚氧化酶原系统是甲壳动物最主要的体液免疫系统,当外源微生物侵入体内时,它发挥最基本的免疫防御作用来抵抗感染.酚氧化酶原系统的变化是蟹类健康状况的重要指标.prophenoloxidase和peroxinectin是酚氧化酶原系统中两个重要的体液免疫分子.实验从分子和蛋白两个水平研究了中华绒螯蟹酚氧化酶原系统与颤抖病的关系,建立了一种新的通过测定酚氧化酶原系统活性来判断蟹体质状况的方法.在分子水平上,中华绒螯蟹体液免疫分子prophenoloxidase和peroxinectin的部分基因序列被克隆和测序,并检测出这两种分子mRNA水平的表达情况与颤抖病的感染程度呈正相关,患病组蟹mRNA的表达水平远高于正常组;在蛋白水平上,酚氧化酶的活性被测定,在正常情况下,蟹体内酚氧化酶活性处于低水平状态,当被感染颤抖病后,酚氧化酶活性有一定程度的升高.这些结果提示了酚氧化酶原系统在抗颤抖病感染时起重要作用,为进一步研究预防和治疗颤抖病的新途径提供了理论依据.
