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.     

螺旋霉素的生物合成——Ⅰ.用静息细胞系统研究影响因素

本文利用静息细胞系统研究了各种因素对螺旋霉索(SPM)合成的影响。结果发现,当种子菌龄为46h,培养基的pH为6.2,静息培养时间为18h时,对SPM合成最有利;乙酸盐、甲硫氨酸有明显的促进作用,当乙酸加入量为1%时可提高SPM效价一倍;加入0.01%的甲硫氨酸,SPM产量增加50%,SPM的合成对NH_4~+比较敏感,当系统中NH_4Cl的含量达0.4%时,SPM的合成减少42%,如同时加入0.1%KH_2PO_4,可降低NH_4~+浓度1/3,从而解除NH_4~+的阻遏作用。此外,还发现0.1%KH_2PO_4不仅能解除外源SPM对SPM合成的抑制作用,并且能提高菌的生物合成活力近一倍。在静息细胞系统中加入氯霉素,发现SPM的合成是从培养30h后开始的。

运动与性腺激素

身体运动对依赖于运动强度，运动持续时间和身体素质而变化的生殖激素具有一定的作用范围。一般来说，持续时间相对短的大强度运动可使血清睾酮水平提高，并改变其它激素的水平，但包括血液浓缩程度和体内激素廓清的降低抑或合成的加强等均使问题复杂变化。内分泌激素在机体对运动的反应和适应方面起到举足轻重的作用，同时影响着运动后恢复阶段。     

不能利用脯氨酸为惟一碳氮源生长的费氏中华根瘤菌突变株的筛选及鉴定

费氏中华根瘤菌可以利用脯氨酸作为唯一碳、氮源生长，本研究利用转座子Tn5gusA5随机插入诱变的方法得到6000多株突变子，并从中筛选到一株脯氨酸代谢缺陷的突变子GXHN100。通过插入位点的定位及序列分析，发现插入位点位于一个未确定功能的ORF内，将该ORF命名为pmrA（Proline metabolic relative ）。通过原位杂交从构建的部分基因文库中获得一个阳性克隆pGXHN100（含有3.3Kb外源片段），序列分析表明它包含了插入基因的完整序列。将3.3Kb的pGXHN100外源片段连接到广宿主载体pLAFR₃上获得重组质粒pGXHN200,通过三亲接合，将pGXHN200导入GXHN100获得互补菌株GXHN200。植株实验发现，突变体GXHN100结有效瘤，固氮酶活与出发菌株无显著差异，但结瘤时间延迟，结瘤效率及竞争结瘤能力下降。

Roles of a sustained activation of NCED3 and the synergistic regulation of ABA biosynthesis and catabolism in ABA signal production in Arabidopsis

ABA, acting as a stress signal, plays crucial roles in plant resistance to water stress. Because ABA signal production is based on ABA biosynthesis, the regulation of NCED, a key enzyme in the ABA biosynthesis pathway, is normally thought of as the sole factor controlling ABA signal production. Here we demonstrate that ABA catabolism in combination with a synergistic regulation of ABA biosynthesis plays a crucial role in governing ABA signal production. Water stress induced a significant accumulation of ABA, which exhibited different patterns in detached and attached leaves. ABA catabolism followed a temporal trend of exponential decay for both basic and stress ABA, and there was little difference in the catabolic half-lives of basic ABA and stress ABA. Thus, the absolute rate of ABA catabolism, i.e. the amount of ABA catabolized per unit time, increases with increased ABA accumulation. From the dynamic processes of ABA biosynthesis and catabolism, it can be inferred that stress ABA accumulation may be governed by a synergistic regulation of all the steps in the ABA biosynthesis pathway. Moreover, to maintain an elevated level of stress ABA sustained activation of NCED3 should be required. This inference was supported by further findings that the genes encoding major enzymes in the ABA biosynthesis pathway, e.g. NCED3, AAO3 and ABA3 were all activated by water stress, and with ABA accumulation progressing, the expressions of NCED3, AAO3 and ABA3 remained activated. Data on ABA catabolism and gene expression jointly indicate that ABA signal production is controlled by a sustained activation of NCED3 and the synergistic regulation of ABA biosynthesis and catabolism.
