红树林植物海榄雌化学成分研究

本论文对红树林植物海榄雌的化学成分进行了研究，对其中分离得到的部分化合物进行了初步的生物活性筛选。 海榄雌采自海南东寨港，样品干燥后用氯仿甲醇（1：1）浸泡提取，合并提取物，先后用石油醚、乙酸乙酯和正丁醇萃取。得到石油醚相、乙酸乙酯相、正丁醇相和水相。 各部分采用常规的硅胶柱层析、制备薄层层析、凝胶Sephadex LH-20柱层析、反相硅胶柱层析、半制备HPLC以及重结晶等手段分离得到28个化合物。利用各种现代波谱技术(IR、UV、ESI-MS、FAB-MS、HR-FAB-MS、1D-NMR、2D-NMR等)，确定了其中20个化合物的结构，其中包括2个新化合物：化合物A1 2′-O-(5-phenyl-2E, 4E-pentadienoyl)mussaenosidic acid和化合物A2 2′-O-(p-methoxycinnamoyl)mussaenosidic acid，以及13个首次从海榄雌中报道的化合物。 对得到的20个化合物A1－A20进行了DPPH自由基清除活性筛选，化合物A4、A5��A6和A16表现出较好的活性，其IC50分别为9.61 μg/mL、8.55 μg/mL、11.72 μg/mL和7.73 μg/mL；化合物A13和A15表现出中等强度的DPPH自由基清除活性，其IC50分别为34.80 μg/mL和44.90 μg/mL；其他化合物只表现出微弱活性，其IC50均大于100 μg/mL；阳性对照BHT的IC50为18.00 μg/mL。 对分离得到的部分样品进行了抑菌活性测试，各样品在测试浓度下对测试菌均未表现出明显的抑菌活性。

Comparison of Pax1/9 locus reveals 500-Myr-old syntenic block and evolutionary conserved noncoding regions

Identification of conserved genomic regions within and between different genomes is crucial when studying genome evolution. Here, we described regions of strong synteny conservation between vertebrate deuterostomes (tetrapods and teleosts) and invertebrat

Maximin 9, a novel free thiol containing antimicrobial peptide with antimycoplasma activity from frog Bombina maxima

Amphibian skin is a rich resource of antimicrobial peptides, like maximins and maximin Hs from frog Bombina maxima. Novel cDNA clones encoding a precursor protein, which comprises a novel maximin peptide (maximin 9) and reported maximin H3, were isolated from two constructed skin cDNA libraries of B. maxima. The predicted primary structure of maximin 9 is GIGRKFLGGVKTTFRCGVKDFASKHLY-NH2. A surprising substitution is at position 16, with a free cysteine in maximin 9 rather than usual conserved glycine in other reported maximins. Maximin 9, the homodimer form and its Cys(16) to Gly(16) mutant were synthesized and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated. Unlike previously reported maximin 3, the tested bacterial and fungal strains were resistant to maximin 9, its homodimer and the Cys(16) to Gly(16) mutant (with MICs > 100 mu M). On the other hand, interestingly, while eight clinical Mollicutes strains were generally resistant to maximin 9 homodimer and its Cys(16) to Gly(16) mutant, most of them are sensitive to maximin 9 at a peptide concentration of 30 mu M, especially in the presence of dithiothreitol. These results indicate that the presence of a reactive Cys residue in maximin 9 is important for its antimycoplasma activity. The diversity of antimicrobial peptide cDNA structures encountered in B. maxima skin cDNA libraries and the antimicrobial specificity differences of the peptides may reflect well the species' adaptation to the unique microbial environments.

Evolutionary history of the mtDNA 9-bp deletion in Chinese populations and its relevance to the peopling of east and southeast Asia

In total, 1218 Chinese from twelve ethnic groups and nine Han geographic groups were screened for the mtDNA 9-bp deletion motif. The frequency of the 9-bp deletion in all samples was 14.7% but ranged from 0% to 32% in the various ethnic groups. Three individuals had a triplication of the 9-bp segment. Phylogenetic and demographic analyses of the mtDNA hypervariable segment 1 (HVS1) sequences suggest that the 9-bp deletion occurred more than once in China. The majority of the Chinese deletion:haplotypes (about 90%) have a common origin as a mutational event following an initial expansion of modem humans in eastern Asia. Other deletion haplotypes and the three haplotypes with a 9-bp triplication may have arisen independently in the Chinese, presumably by replication error. HVS1 haplotype analysis suggests two possible migration routes of the 9-bp deletion in east and southeast Asia. Both migrations originated in China with one route leading to the Pacific Islands via Taiwan, the other to southeast Asia and possibly the Nicobar Islands. Along both routes of peopling, a decrease in HVS1 diversity of the mtDNA haplotypes is observed. The "Polynesian motif (16217T/C, 16247A/G, and 16261C/T)" and the 16140T/C, 16266C/A, or C/G polymorphisms appear specific to each migration route.
