重组大肠杆菌发酵生产核酸疫苗的初步研究

初步摸索大肠杆菌DH 5α生产核酸疫苗的发酵条件。通过均匀试验设计确定,当胰蛋白胨与酵母粉的质量比为1∶1.2,并且磷酸盐的加量较大时菌体的质粒产量较高。在菌体生长刚进入对数生长期时采用指数式流加葡萄糖与采用恒速流加葡萄糖,菌体得率相同,而产物收率前者高于后者。在菌体生长进入平稳期时将温度由37°C升高到42°C,在菌体密度没有改变的情况下,质粒产量得到提高,达到75 m g/L。     

运用交流阻抗技术直接监测DNA杂交

介绍了基于交流阻抗技术构建非标记型脱氧核糖核酸（DNA）杂交传感器的方法.以24个碱基长度的寡聚DNA作为实验对象,将5′端巯基化的单链寡聚DNA（SH-ssDNA）探针与巯基乙酸（RSH）同时自组装到金电极表面,形成杂交识别层,利用交流阻抗技术测量出杂交前后金电极表面电子传递电阻R_et的增量作为杂交信号.实验中对DNA探针的自组装时间、杂交温度、杂交时间和阻抗测量液等实验条件进行了观察和优化;通过选择自组装液中SH-ssDNA探针和RSH的浓度,减少DNA在金电极表面的非特异性吸附,同时保证金电极表面自组装的SH-ssDNA探针有合适的疏密度,提高了杂交效率.在各优化条件下,无需扩增杂交信号,此非标记型DNA杂交传感器的检测下限为3.0×10^-14mol/L;和完全互补序列相比,一个和三个碱基错配序列分别产生55.6%和1.3%的杂交信号.

包囊游仆虫休眠细胞中大核和线粒体DNA的多态性

为了探索纤毛虫休眠细胞中两套遗传系统的作用特征,对包囊游仆虫（Euplotes encysticus）休眠细胞与营养细胞大核DNA和线粒体DNA进行了RAPD比较.结果显示,在所选用的35条随机引物中,包囊游仆虫大核DNA共扩增出220条片段,其中以休眠细胞大核DNA为模板扩增出18条特有片段,以营养细胞大核DNA为模板扩增出44条特有片段,两者存在28%的差异.在所选用的32条随机引物中,线粒体DNA共扩增出154条片段,其中以休眠细胞线粒体DNA为模板扩增出19条特有片段,以营养细胞线粒体DNA为模板扩增出25条特有片段,两者有29%的差异.这些结果表明,包囊游仆虫休眠细胞与营养细胞的大核DNA结构存着一定的差异;两者的线粒体DNA结构也存在差异.因此,包囊游仆虫在休眠细胞形成过程中,大核DNA、线粒体DNA结构可能都发生了一定的变化,并且这些变化可能与休眠细胞形成过程中的形态结构和代谢活动等剧烈变化以及休眠状态下的生理生化变化密切相关.所得结果为揭示纤毛虫细胞结构的分化与细胞遗传物质的作用关系提供了基础资料.

Histone methylation and ubiquitination with their cross-talk and roles in gene expression and stability

Methylation of lysine residues of histones is associated with functionally distinct regions of chromatin, and, therefore, is an important epigenetic mark. Over the past few years, several enzymes that catalyze this covalent modification on different lysine residues of histones have been discovered. Intriguingly, histone lysine methylation has also been shown to be cross-regulated by histone ubiquitination or the enzymes that catalyze this modification. These covalent modifications and their cross-talks play important roles in regulation of gene expression, heterochromatin formation, genome stability, and cancer. Thus, there has been a very rapid progress within past several years towards elucidating the molecular basis of histone lysine methylation and ubiquitination, and their aberrations in human diseases. Here, we discuss these covalent modifications with their cross-regulation and roles in controlling gene expression and stability.

DNA methylation of fly genes and transposons

The use of anti-5-methylcytosine antibodies in affinity columns allowed the identification of methylated sequences in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster adults. In view of the presence of transposable elements amongst the identified sequences, it has been suggested that DNA methylation is involved in transposon control in the fly genome. On the contrary, a reanalysis of these data furnishes several intriguing elements that could raise new questions about the role that DNA methylation plays in the fly genome. The aim of the present paper is to discuss some features that emerge from the analysis of the identified methylated sequences.
