细胞色素b基因序列与11种熊蜂的系统进化

通过比较一段357bp的细胞色素b的序列,分析了熊蜂属5亚属11种熊蜂系统发育关系。5亚属包括Bombus(5种)、Thoracobombus(3种)、Mendacibombus(1种)、Fervidobombus(1种)和Pyrobombus(1种)。该序列有65个单变异多态位点和71个简约信息多态位点,翻译成119个氨基酸序列后有45个氨基酸变异位点。根据P-距离构建的邻接树(NJ tree)和最大简约树(MP tree)都显示同样的结果:Mendacibombus(B. avinovielllus)分化最早;Fervidobombus(B. pensylvanicus)次之;Pyrobombus(B. impatiens)和Bombus形成姊妹群;Bombus亚属是单系群,其中B. ignitus在所研究的5个种中分化最早。

zhao科鱼类细胞色素b基因片段的序列测定及其系统发育的初步研究

从9种zhao科鱼类的福尔马林标本中获得了333bp的细胞色素b基因片段的序列。经MUST软件排序后,有101个变异位点,其中有39个信息位点。序列在成对物种间的距离为8-48。平均遗传距离为2.4%-14.4%。简约分析产生了最大简约系统树,Bagarius是最原始的属,并与所有其他的物种形成姊妹群。其余8个属形成一个单系类群并分为二个姊妹群,而鳗zhao鱼类并未形成一个单系类群。

Sequence of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase II in Cryptopygus nanjiensis and phylogeny of apterygota

The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II (Co II) from four different apterygotens Cryptopygus nanjiensis (Collembola), Neanura latior (Collembola), Gracilentulus maijiawensis (Protura) and Lepidocampa weberi (Diplura) were sequenced. Their A+T content, number of nucleotide substitutions, TV/TV ratio; and Tamura-Nei's distance were calculated. A series of phylogenetic trees were constructed by parsimony and distance methods using a crustacean Artemia franciscana as outgroup, Finally the evolutionary trend A+T content of CO II genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationship of apterygotan groups were discussed.

Anti-HIV-1 Activities of Hemslecins A and B

目的:研究从药用植物金佛山雪胆分离的雪胆素A和雪胆素B两个三萜类化合物的体外抗HIV活性.方法:应用合胞体抑制实验、p24抗原产生的抑制实验、慢性感染细胞和正常细胞间的细胞融合抑制实验等技术检测化合物的体外抗HIV-l活性;利用HIV-l逆转录酶、蛋白酶抑制实验,NCp7锌离子逐出实验探讨化合物的作用机制.结果:雪胆素A和雪胆素B在体外有较好的抑制HIV-l活性,其活性主要表现为:(1)抑制HIV-l诱导合胞体形成,EC50值分别为3.09 μg·mL-1和2.53μg·mL-1;(2)抑制HIV- 急性感染的C8106细胞p24抗原产生,EC50值分别为3.97μg·mL-1和18.90μg·mL-1;(3)抑制HIV-1 慢性感染H9与正常C8166细胞间融合,EC50分别为1.76μg·mL-1和11.95μg·mL-1.雪胆素A和雪胆素B对HIV-l逆转录酶、蛋白酶、NCp7锌离子逐出均没有抑制作用.雪胆素A对HIV-1整合酶有微弱的结合活性,而雪胆素B对HIV-1整合酶没有结合活性.在共培养实验中,雪胆素A和雪胆素B预处理C8166细胞组比未经预处理细胞组能够更有效的抑制HIV-l活性.结论:化合物雪胆素A和雪胆素B体外有较好的抗HIV-1活性,可能主要作用于HIV-1病毒进入细胞阶段.

银额果蝇B染色体特异性基因的初步研究

采用代表性差异分析法(RDA)研究了银额果蝇两个单雌系AKM46(含B染色体)和AGZ2(不含B染色体)两基因组间的差异。用AKM46作检测(tester)扩增子,AGZ2作驱赶(driver)扩增子,通过三轮消减杂交后,获得了6个差异片段(100bp-300bp)。实验证实了其中两个片段来自含有B染色体的单雌系AKM46,而且可能是B染色体上的特异基因片段。

中国银额果蝇自然群体B染色体的分布

中国(台湾省外)银额果蝇自然群体中普遍存在Bs。结合前人报道提出,Bs频率的地理分布出现了由东向西和由南向北的规律性的依次升高趋势。这种跨越不同地理环境的区域性梯度变异与其宿主向大陆内地扩散的推论相符。Bs频率最高(87.7%)的是海南岛的孤立隔离群体。大部分群体含Bs的数目多,最多达14条,为标准染色体数目(2n=6)的2.3倍。同时依据该果蝇Bs频率的地理分布特点,将我国现生的银额果蝇划归为5个生态型群体,即沿海丘陵群体、高原型群体、岛屿型群体、山地型群体和峡谷群体等。
