拓扑异构酶的结构、功能与进化的结构生物信息学研究

拓扑异构酶（topoisomerase）是一类控制和修改双螺旋DNA复制和转录过程中的拓扑结构的酶，是生命活动中最重要的酶。以IA类和II类拓扑异构酶中共存的toprim以及CAP-like结构域为研究对象，对拓扑异构酶中的三大类酶的分子进化情况进行了分析。结果显示在IA类和II类酶之间序列保守性很低，但是具有两个保守的结构域，在IIB类拓扑异构酶中toprim结构域中存在着和其他toprim结构域相同的四个保守位点，而在CAP-like结构域中IA类和II类中存在较大差异，没有明显的序列保守性，IIB类和IIA类的CAP-like结构域在二级结构上非常相似。从toprim结构域系统进化研究中我们发现IIA类和皿类中toprim结构域的进化关系很近，两类酶的toprim结构域在亲缘关系上和primase较远，而以上三者和IA类的进化关系最远。CAP-like结构域的系统进化研究发现IIA类以及IA类的domain4的CAP-like结构域进化关系比较近，IIB类和他们之间关系稍微远一些，IA类的domain3和以上几个结构域的关系较远，这也与他们的二级结构上的一致性是相同的。通过分析，IIA、IIB类起源于类似IA类的古老的拓扑异构酶，'在IA类进化中经过基因复制产生了两个不同的CAP-like结构域。然后祖先拓扑异构酶发生了变化，N'端加入了ATPase结构域和DNAgyrase/Mutlsecond结构域，形成了严格依赖ATP供能的真核生物IIA类，在细菌中断开成为两个亚基的细菌中IIA类。IIB类是祖先细胞的IIA类的一个或者是两个亚单位在古细菌以及真核生物中通过复制、重组和缺失造成的，IIB类中的toprim结构域很接近IIA类，可以认为，llB类中的toPrim结构域直接由IIA类转移而来，而IIB类中的cAP一1汰e结构域较IIA类中产生更早一些，应该是由拓扑异构酶祖先中产生的二级结构为aβaaββ的CAP-like结构域直接进化而来。然而，两个结构域的基因在连接到一起时候发生了不同于一般顺序的拼接，于是nB类中两个结构域形成了不同于现在的IA类和IIA类的顺序。

吗啡给药及戒断期间大鼠眶额叶脑区功能活动特征户外环境下自由活动猕猴顶叶及海马神经元单位放电的胞外记录方法

已有的研究表明，眶额叶在解剖上与现在已知的药物滥用相关的脑区是紧密联系在一起的。例如，眶额叶在药物滥用和强迫性重复行为中起作用，且随着脑成像技术的应用，越来越多的证据表明眶额叶参与了药物滥用。但是我们并不了解在阿片给药和戒断期间眶额叶脑区活动是如何变化的。因此，我们在实验中采用了Mn2+增强的核磁共振成像（Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance　imaging，MEMRI，4.7T）技术和脑电（EEG）记录的方法，以研究大鼠眶额叶在给与阿片类药物（盐酸吗啡）以及戒断过程中的动态变化。 MEMRI是一种近年才发展起来的新型技术。研究表明，Mn2+是Ca2+的类似物，可以通过Ca2+通道进入兴奋性的神经元里面并结合到胞内的蛋白质和核酸上的Ca2+和Mg2+结合位点上 (MILDVAN and COHN, 1963; EISINGER et al., 1965)。另外，Mn2+的顺磁性也为它成为核磁共振成像的造影剂提供了前提条件。可是成功应用MEMRI的前提就是要在适当的时间把合适剂量的Mn2+传递到靶点上。因此，Mn2+在注射到靶点后，是否能够在有效的时间内反映大脑活动的变化就成为一个非常重要并且在技术上较为棘手的问题。在给实验大鼠脑区微量注射Mn2+（80mMol/L，200nl）的同时，通过微量注射兴奋性神经递质谷氨酸（Glu 0.5mM/L）或抑制性递质γ-aminobutyric acid（GABA 0.5M/L）以改变靶点神经元兴奋性的方法，检测Mn2+能否反映脑区的活动变化。另外，我们随机选取实验动物，分别在注射Mn2+ 3小时、5小时和8小时后对三组大鼠（n=5）进行10％福尔马林灌流，并且通过观察大鼠眶额叶脑区Mn2+强度的变化来研究最佳的灌流时间。我们的实验结果表明，Mn2++Glu组的右侧脑区/左侧脑区的Mn2+亮度比Mn2+空白对照组增加了20％（p=0.016, student t-test, *p <0.05），也远大于Mn2++GABA组（p=0.047, *p<0.05）。结果表明，当神经元被兴奋的时候，较多的Mn2+可以通过Ca2+通道进入兴奋的神经元内，使得Mn2+的成像亮度增加。由于Mn2+成像亮度的增加可以反映神经元的兴奋活动，因此可以显示出靶点区的脑活动。另外，在研究灌流时间对Mn2+亮度影响的实验中发现，注射Mn2+ 5小时后灌流得到的信噪比分别比注射Mn2+3小时（p＝0.055）和8小时（p=0.004，*p<0.05）高出24％和32％。总之，我们采用微量注射Mn2+（80mM/L,200nl）后5小时用10%福尔马林心脏灌流的方法获得了较好的结果。另外在试验中我们首先观测了大鼠吗啡戒断后的行为学指标和检测大鼠戒断后条件化位置偏好的程度。实验结果表明大鼠可以建立非常明显的条件化位置偏好，但在湿狗抖等行为学指标上无明显症状。这说明大鼠对于吗啡(10mg/kg, 一天两次，持续12天)形成了明显的心理依赖而无明显的生理依赖。此外，MEMRI的结果表明，在吗啡给药的第1天和第6天，大鼠眶额叶的Mn2+强度与空白对照组相比有显著的降低( one-way ANOVA, Post Hoc Dunnett’s C Tests), F (6,28)=7.242, P<0.001)；而在戒断第3天又恢复到正常水平，在戒断第5天和第7天Mn2+强度跟空白对照组相比没有显著性差别(one-way ANOVA, *p<0.05)。脑电（EEG）的结果表明，急性吗啡诱导的gamma波段的EEG显著降低(Two-way ANOVA, F(1,10)=13.626,p=0.006)。然而在戒断第1天gamma波段的EEG与空白对照组相比是增加的。在戒断第3天和戒断第5天，gamma波段的EEG与空白对照组相比也有显著性增强。以上研究结果表明：大鼠眶额叶脑区的动态变化与整个吗啡给药和戒断过程是密切相关的；此外，MEMRI在探讨药物滥用以及成瘾等机制上有很大的应用前景。

Effects of divalent metal ions on electrochemiluminescence sensor with Ru(bPY)(3)(2+) immobilized in Eastman-AQ membrane

Different effects of divalent metal ions on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor with Ru(bPY)(3)(2+) immobilized in Eastman-AQ membrane were investigated. Mg2+,Ca2+ and Fe2+ can elevate the ECL of Ru(bpY)(3)(2+)/proline; while metal ions that underwent redox reactions on the electrode such as Mn2+ and Co2+ presented intensive quenching effects on Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) ECL. Also, the quenching effect of Mn2+ on the ECL sensor with Ru(bpY)(3)(2+) immobilized in Eastman-AQ membrane enhanced to about 30-folds compared with the case that Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) was dissolved in phosphate buffer, and the enhanced quenching effects of Mn2+ were studied.

Ab initio study on the electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of CaCu3V4O12

The electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of CaCu3V4O12 are investigated by use of the density functional theory method. The calculated results indicate that CaCu3V4O12 is a half-metallic and ferrimagnetic compound. The magnetic coupling for Cu-V is antiferromagnetic, while those for Cu-Cu and V-V are ferromagnetic. The obtained elastic constants suggest that the compound is mechanically stable. The calculated oxidation states and density of states reveal the existence of a mixed valence for Cu and V. This supports the experimental observation of the mixed valence in Ca2+Cu2+Cu2+(V25+V24+)O-12.

Atomic force microscopic study of low temperature induced disassembly of RecA-dsDNA filaments

The assembly and disassembly of RecA-DNA nucleoprotein filaments on double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) or single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) are important steps for homologous recombination and DNA repair. The assembly and disassembly of the nucleoprotein filaments are sensitive to the reaction conditions. In this work, we investigated different morphologies of the formed nucleoprotein filaments at low temperature under different solution conditions by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We found that low temperature and long keeping time could induce the incomplete disassembly of the formed nucleoprotein filaments.

Influence of Polyelectrolyte on DNA-RecA Nucleoprotein Filaments: Poly-L-Lysine Used as a Model

RecA of Escherichia coli and its active nucleoprotein filaments with DNA are important for the genomic integrity and the genetic diversity. The formation of the DNA-RecA nucleoprotein filaments is a complex multiple-step process and can be affected by many factors. In this work, the effects of poly-L-lysine (PLL) on the DNA-RecA nucleoprotein filaments are investigated in vitro by agarose gel electrophoresis and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The observed morphologies vary with the concentration, the length, and the addition order of PLL. These distinctions provide information for the conformation change of DNA and the binding sites of RecA protein in the formation process of nucleoprotein filaments.

Investigations on the adsorption behavior of Neutral Red on mercaptoethane sulfonate protected gold nanoparticles

A detailed investigation on the adsorption behavior of Neutral Red (NR) molecules on mercaptoethane sulfonate-monolayer protected gold clusters (MES-MPCs) has been conducted by the spectroscopic method. It is found that cationic NR molecules are adsorbed on the negatively charged MPCs surfaces via electrostatic attractive forces. The absorption study shows that the optical properties of NR molecules are significantly influenced upon the adsorption. Based on the electrostatic adsorption nature and the excellent stability of MES-MPCs against the electrolytes, this association can be released by the addition of electrolyte salts, which can be monitored by both absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, dication Ca2+ is found to be more effective in the release of NR than univalent Na+. Moreover, the MES-MPCs exert energy transfer quenching of NR fluorescence by both static and dynamic quenching. However, static quenching seems to be the dominating quenching mechanism. Furthermore, this energy transfer quenching exhibits strong dependence of Au core size, and 5.0 nm MPCs show stronger ability in quenching the NR fluorescence than that of 2.7 nm MPCs.

Synthesis, characterization and electrical properties of solid state electrolyte materials La2-xCaxMo1.7W0.3O9-delta (0 <= x <= 0.2)

The new compounds La2-xCaxMo1.7W0.3O9-delta (0 <= x <= 0.2) in which La3+ substituted with Ca2+ were synthesized by dry-chemistry techniques based on the oxygen Ionic conductor La2Mo1.7W0.3O9. The new series were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and the electrical conductivity of samples were investigated by AC impedance spectroscopy. The lattice parameters were reduced due to the smaller atomic radius of the Ca2+ compared with that of the La3+. Furthermore, Additional oxygen vacancies were introduced into La2Mo1.7W0.3O9 lattice by substitution, and then the oxygen ionic conductivity was increased. At 550 degrees C, the conductivity increased 89.9%, that is, from 0.79 x 10(-4) S center dot cm(-1) (x=0) to 1.5 X 10(-4)S center dot cm(-1) (x=0.16, 0.2).

Effects of bridge ions, DNA species, and developing temperature on flat-lying DNA monolayers

Recently, we have successfully constructed flat-lying DNA monolayers on a mica surface (J. Phys. Chem. B 2006, 110, 10792-10798). In this work, the effects of various factors including bridge ions, DNA species, and developing temperature on the configuration of DNA monolayers have been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in detail. AFM results show that the species of bridge ions and developing temperature play a crucial role during the formation process. For example, the divalent cation Zn2+ resulted in many DNA chains stuck side by side in the monolayers due to the strong interactions between it and DNA's bases or the mica surface. Most DNA chain's conglutinations disappeared when the developing temperature was higher than 40 degrees C. Cd2+ and Ca2+ produced more compact DNA monolayers with some obvious aggregations, especially for the DNA monolayers constructed by using Ca2+ as the bridge ion. Co2+ produced well-ordered, flat-lying DNA monolayers similar to that of Mg2+. Furthermore, it was found that the flat-lying DNA monolayers could still form on a mica surface when plasmid DNA pBR 322 and linear DNA pBR 322/Pst I were used as the DNA source. Whereas, it was hard to form DNA monolayers on a (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane-mica surface because the strong interactions between DNA and substrate prevented the lateral movement of DNA molecules.
