纳米级晶种预涂层法Silicalite-1型沸石膜合成及其结构分析

在大孔-αA l2O3陶瓷管载体上采用晶种预涂层法在澄清溶液体系中水热合成了S ilica lite-1型沸石膜,用SEM和XRD表征了晶种、晶种涂层后载体和成膜后沸石膜的结构、晶形变化、晶相结构等成膜情况,并初步考查了两种不同温度(130℃和160℃)下生长成膜的结构变化.结果表明:制备的晶种呈椭球形、晶粒小(约100 nm)而均匀、纯度高,适合作晶种涂层成膜;所用载体孔径大而不均匀、表面粗糙而不平整,但经晶种涂层后表面可形成一层厚度均匀、光滑的晶种层,再水热晶化时有利于成膜,所得膜连续、清晰无裂缺,载体、晶种层和沸石膜层之间相互结合紧密;连续晶种层改善了载体表面的性能,有利于连续S ilica lite-1沸石膜的形成;合成温度不同,沸石晶粒在载体表面生长的方向不同,所形成的膜微观结构也不同.该合成方法能适合其他不同类型沸石膜的制备.     

膜生物反应器净化污水的硝化反硝化性能

比较了膜生物反应器(MBR)和传统活性污泥工艺(CAS)在相同运行条件下处理生活污水的硝化和反硝化性能.结果表明,MBR对NH4 -N和TN的去除率分别比CAS高54.8%和37.3%.2种工艺的亚硝化、反硝化作用均呈零级反应,对应降解速率常数MBR分别约为CAS的2.2倍和2.5倍;CAS中硝化作用为零级反应,而MBR中硝化作用随时间推移趋于平缓.MBR中的细菌总数、硝酸菌、亚硝酸菌和反硝化菌数量分别比CAS工艺中相应菌种高1~2个数量级.通过控制曝气强度或减小回流通道断面限制缺氧区溶解氧质量浓度,可提高MBR中的反硝化效果.

Functions of reticulons in plants: What we can learn from animals and yeasts

Reticulons (RTNs) are membrane-spanning proteins sharing a typical domain named reticulon homology domain (RHD). RTN genes have been identified in all eukaryotic organisms examined so far, and the corresponding proteins have been found predominantly associated to the endoplasmic reticulum membranes. In animal and yeast, in which knowledge of the protein family is more advanced, RTNs are involved in numerous cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell division and intracellular trafficking. Up to now, a little attention has been paid to their plant counterparts, i.e., RTNLBs. In this review, we summarize the data available for RTNLB proteins and, using the data obtained with animal and yeast models, several functions for RTNLBs in plant cells are proposed and discussed.

Biogenesis of β-barrel membrane proteins in bacteria and eukaryotes: evolutionary conservation and divergence

Membrane-embedded β-barrel proteins span the membrane via multiple amphipathic β-strands arranged in a cylindrical shape. These proteins are found in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. This situation is thought to reflect the evolutionary origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts from Gram-negative bacterial endosymbionts. β-barrel proteins fulfil a variety of functions; among them are pore-forming proteins that allow the flux of metabolites across the membrane by passive diffusion, active transporters of siderophores, enzymes, structural proteins, and proteins that mediate protein translocation across or insertion into membranes. The biogenesis process of these proteins combines evolutionary conservation of the central elements with some noticeable differences in signals and machineries. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the functions and biogenesis of this special family of proteins.

The cytotoxicity of eosinophil cationic protein/ribonuclease 3 on eukaryotic cell lines takes place through its aggregation on the cell membrane

Human eosinophil cationic protein (ECP)/ ribonuclease 3 (RNase 3) is a protein secreted from the secondary granules of activated eosinophils. Specific properties of ECP contribute to its cytotoxic activities associated with defense mechanisms. In this work the ECP cytotoxic activity on eukaryotic cell lines is analyzed. The ECP effects begin with its binding and aggregation to the cell surface, altering the cell membrane permeability and modifying the cell ionic equilibrium. No internalization of the protein is observed. These signals induce cell-specific morphological and biochemical changes such as chromatin condensation, reversion of membrane asymmetry, reactive oxygen species production and activation of caspase-3-like activity and, eventually, cell death. However, the ribonuclease activity component of ECP is not involved in this process as no RNA degradation is observed. In summary, the cytotoxic effect of ECP is attained through a mechanism different from that of other cytotoxic RNases and may be related with the ECP accumulation associated with the inflammatory processes, in which eosinophils are present.

Molecular mechanisms of phagocytic uptake in mammalian cells

Phagocytosis is a highly conserved, complex process that has evolved to counter the constant threat posed by pathogens, effete cells and debris. Classically defined as a mechanism for internalising and destroying particles greater than 0.5 mum in size, it is a receptor-mediated, actin-driven process. The best-studied phagocytic receptors are the opsono-receptors, FcgammaR and CR3. Phagocytic uptake involves actin dynamics including polymerisation, bundling, contraction, severing and depolymerisation of actin filaments. Recent evidence points to the importance of membrane remodelling during phagocytosis, both in terms of changes in lipid composition and delivery of new membrane to the sites of particle binding. Here we review the molecular mechanisms of phagocytic uptake and some of the strategies developed by microbial pathogens to manipulate this process.
