化学修饰电极的研究——1:12磷钼杂多阴离子薄膜修饰电极的电化学性质

自从化学修饰电极问世以来,在电极反应过程、电极效应以及扩展修饰薄膜类型方面进展较快。目前研究较多的是聚合物薄膜修饰电极,由于结构和化学性能的特点,对无机物修饰电极的研究也已引起重视。杂多酸具有很好的氧化还原性能,而且可通过改变化学组成的方法使杂多酸的氧化还原电位在很宽范围内变动。杂多酸可发生多电子还原反应形成“杂多蓝”,所以杂多酸或其盐类修饰在电极上有可能发生电催化和电色效应。目前杂多酸修饰电极的报道甚少。本文研

Molecular cloning and stress-dependent expression of a gene encoding Delta(12)-fatty acid desaturase in the Antarctic microalga Chlorella vulgaris NJ-7

The psychrotrophic Antarctic alga, Chlorella vulgaris NJ-7, grows under an extreme environment of low temperature and high salinity. In an effort to better understand the correlation between fatty acid metabolism and acclimation to Antarctic environment, we analyzed its fatty acid compositions. An extremely high amount of Delta(12) unsaturated fatty acids was identified which prompted us to speculate about the involvement of Delta(12) fatty acid desaturase in the process of acclimation. A full-length cDNA sequence, designated CvFAD2, was isolated from C. vulgaris NJ-7 via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and RACE methods. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that the gene was homologous to known microsomal Delta(12)-FADs with the conserved histidine motifs. Heterologous expression in yeast was used to confirm the regioselectivity and the function of CvFAD2. Linoleic acid (18:2), normally not present in wild-type yeast cells, was detected in transformants of CvFAD2. The induction of CvFAD2 at an mRNA level under cold stress and high salinity is detected by real-time PCR. The results showed that both temperature and salinity motivated the upregulation of CvFAD2 expression. The accumulation of CvFAD2 increased 2.2-fold at 15A degrees C and 3.9-fold at 4A degrees C compared to the alga at 25A degrees C. Meanwhile a 1.7- and 8.5-fold increase at 3 and 6% NaCl was detected. These data suggest that CvFAD2 is the enzyme responsible for the Delta(12) fatty acids desaturation involved in the adaption to cold and high salinity for Antarctic C. vugaris NJ-7.

Fatty acid biosynthesis in eukaryotic photosynthetic microalgae: Identification of a microsomal delta 12 desaturase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important components of infant and adult nutrition because they serve as structural elements of cell membranes. Fatty acid desaturases are responsible for the insertion of double bonds into pre-formed fatty acid chains in reactions that require oxygen and reducing equivalents. In this study, the genome-wide characterization of the fatty acid desaturases from seven eukaryotic photosynthetic microalgae was undertaken according to the conserved histidine-rich motifs and phylogenetic profiles. Analysis of these genomes provided insight into the origin and evolution of the pathway of fatty acid biosynthesis in eukaryotic plants. In addition, the candidate enzyme from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with the highest similarity to the microsomal Delta 12 desaturase of Chlorella vulgaris was isolated, and its function was verified by heterologous expression in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

Cys-92, Cys-95, and the C-terminal 12 residues of the Vibrio harveyi ferric uptake regulator (Fur) are functionally inessential

Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) is a global regulator involved in multiple aspects of bacterial life. The gene encoding the Vibrio harveyi Fur (Fur(vh)) was cloned from a pathogenic V. harveyi strain isolated from diseased fish. Furvh shares 77% overall sequence identity with the Escherichia coli Fur (Fur(Ec)) and could complement a mutant of Fur(Ec). Like Fur(Ec), Fur(Vh), possesses two cysteine residues at positions 92 and 95, yet unlike Fur(Ec), in which these cysteine residues constitute part of the metal ion coordination site and hence are vital to the repressor activity, C92 and C95 of Fur(Vh) proved to be functionally inessential. Further study identified a Vibrio Fur signature sequence, which is preserved in all the ten Vibrio Fur proteins that have been discovered to date but in none of the non-vibrio Fur proteins. Site-directed and random mutation analyses of the signature residues, the cysteine residues, and seven highly charged amino acid residues indicated that D9, H32, C137, and K138 of Fur(vh) are functionally important but D9, C137, and K138 can be replaced by more than one functional substitutes. Systematic deletion analysis demonstrated that the C-terminal 12 residues of Fur(Vh) are functionally inessential. These results (i) indicated that the activation mechanism, or certain aspects of which, of Fur(Vh) is possibly different from that of Fur(Ec); and (ii) suggested that it is not very likely that the C-terminal 12 residues play any significant role in the activation or stability of Fur(Vh); and (iii) provided insights into the potential function of the local structure involving C137 and K138.

Molecular cloning and expression of a novel Kazal-type serine proteinase inhibitor gene from Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri, and the inhibitory activity of its recombinant domain

Serine proteinase inhibitors (SPIs) play important roles in host physiological and immunological processes in all multicellular organisms. A novel Kazal-type SPI gene was cloned from the Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri (designated as CfKZSPI) by expressed sequence tag (EST) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches. The full-length cDNA of CfKZSPI was of 1788 nucleotides with a canonical polyadenylation signal sequence AATAAA and a polyA tail, and an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 509 amino acids with a putative signal peptide of 22 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of CfKZSPI contained 12 tandem Kazal domains with high similarity to other Kazal-type SPIs. The temporal expression of CfKZSPI in hemocytes after Vibrio anguillorum challenge was recorded by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The relative mRNA expression level of CfKZSPI was up-regulated and reached 43.6-fold at 3 h post-challenge. After a decrease at 6 h, the expression Level increased again and reached 207.8-fold at 12 h post-challenge. The 12th Kazal domain of CfKZSPI was recombined into pET-32a(+) and expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta-gami (DE3) to investigate its inhibitory activity. The purified recombinant protein (rCf KZSPI-1 2) showed significant inhibitory activity against trypsin but no activity against thrombin. When the molar ratio of inhibitor to trypsin reached 1:1, almost 90% of the enzyme activity could be inhibited, which suggested that one molecule of rCfKZSPI-12 was able to inhibit one molecule of trypsin. Kinetics analysis with Dixon plot showed that the inhibition constant (K-i) of rCfKZSPI-12 to trypsin was 173 nmol L-1. These results indicated that CfKZSPI was a novel Kazal-type SPI with significant inhibitory activity against trypsin, and was suspected to be involved in scallop immune response.

中国明对虾重要分子伴侣蛋白基因的克隆及表达研究

对虾养殖业的可持续发展面临着种质退化、病害严重和养殖环境恶化等问题的严重挑战。养殖环境恶化造成的环境胁迫，不但影响对虾的生长性状，而且导致对虾的抵抗力下降，更容易引发病害的发生。养殖环境恶化已经严重影响了对虾养殖业的健康可持续发展。本论文针对环境恶化造成的环境胁迫对对虾影响的分子机理进行了研究。 克隆了中国明对虾对环境胁迫应答的重要伴侣蛋白基因，包括钙网蛋白（FcCRT）、葡萄糖调节蛋白78 （FcGrp78）、热休克蛋白70（FcHsp70）和热休克蛋白90（FcHsp90）的全长cDNA，研究了这些基因的组织表达特征，并对这些基因在不同胁迫条件下的转录表达特征进行了分析。 钙网蛋白是一种多功能的内质网钙结合蛋白，负责蛋白折叠和糖蛋白修饰。本论文首次在中国明对虾报道了钙网蛋白FcCRT基因的全长cDNA序列，编码406个氨基酸，具有保守的N-，P-和C-功能域，以及信号肽和保守的HDEL内质网回收标签。FcCRT基因与其它物种的钙网蛋白具有高度的相似性，系统进化分析表明，FcCRT在亲缘关系上更接近昆虫的钙网蛋白。Northern blot和原位杂交结果显示，FcCRT基因在中国明对虾各组织中均有表达，且在卵巢中发育早起的卵母细胞中表达量最高，说明FcCRT很可能参与了卵母细胞的成熟。FcCRT基因在不同胁迫条件下，其转录表达均呈现明显的变化。在WSSV感染实验中，中国明对虾肝胰脏和淋巴器官中FcCRT转录表达均明显上调；热休克、重金属处理均可引起FcCRT基因转录表达的变化，但不同重金属处理引起FcCRT转录表达变化的模式不同。铜离子处理6小时，会引起FcCRT基因的下调表达，但在12小时之后出现明显上调；镉离子处理12小时后引起FcCRT基因的下调表达，但在24小时又出现明显的上调表达。 葡萄糖调节蛋白78（GRP78）是内质网重要的伴侣蛋白。中国明对虾的Grp78基因（FcGrp78）的cDNA全长为2325bp，编码665个氨基酸。FcGrp78具有三个Hsp70蛋白家族标签，并含有KDEL内质网回收标签。FcGrp78基因与中国明对虾已有的Hsc70和Hsp70具有高度相似性。Northern blot杂交结果显示FcGrp78基因在中国明对虾各组织中均有表达。FcGrp78基因在WSSV感染的中国明对虾肝胰脏中呈上调表达，在血细胞中下调表达，说明FcGrp78可能与对虾的免疫应答有关。热休克处理会诱导FcGrp78基因转录的上调。不同重金属离子胁迫引起的FcGrp78转录表达有所不同：铜离子处理可以诱导FcGrp78基因在处理后24小时的上调表达；镉离子的处理导致FcGrp78基因处理后12小时的下调以及处理后24小时的上调表达变化。短期低氧胁迫则抑制对虾FcGrp78基因的转录表达。 本论文报道的中国明对虾FcHsp90基因 cDNA全长2552bp，编码726个氨基酸，具有保守的N端功能域、中间功能域和C端功能域，具有五个保守的Hsp90蛋白家族标签，序列上与其他物种Hsp90相似性高。Real-time RT-PCR结果显示FcHsp90基因在发育的卵巢中表达量较高，说明Hsp90可能参与了对虾卵母细胞成熟过程中的蛋白合成和卵黄蛋白原的分泌。WSSV感染引起中国明对虾肝胰脏的FcHsp90的转录表达明显上调，说明FcHsp90很可能与对虾的免疫相关。热休克处理诱导FcHsp90基因转录表达的迅速上调。铜离子处理也可诱导FcHsp90基因转录的上调表达，而镉离子处理首先引起FcHsp90基因的下调表达，24小时后开始上调。低氧胁迫也会抑制FcHsp90基因在对虾体内的转录表达。 诱导型FcHsp70基因cDNA全长2511bp，编码629个氨基酸，具有三个保守的Hsp70蛋白家族标签和C末端EEVD序列。与其他物种的Hsp70蛋白具有高度的相似性。FcHsp70基因转录表达对于热休克处理和铜离子的处理非常敏感：热休克处理2小时后FcHsp70基因的转录水平是对照组的80倍；铜离子处理12小时FcHsp70基因转录表达达到对照组的15倍。而镉离子处理后没有诱导FcHsp70显著的上调表达。 以上研究结果为阐明对虾对环境胁迫应答的机制奠定了重要基础，并可为抗逆对虾的培育提供依据。

6-12岁儿童自发脑电频谱相干的发展及认知水平的脑诱发电位研究

发展心理学中关于儿童心理发展一直以来存在阶段论和连续论两种观点，阶段论和连续论都有各自的支持依据，但目前心理学家倾向于认为儿童心理发展是阶段性和连续性的统一，一些脑电生理的数据也支持这一观点，脑电发展对认知发展有很好的提示作用。但现有的脑电生理研究在探讨这一问题尚存在一些不足。由于童年中期是个体发育成熟前的最后一个关键期，大脑重量、额叶发育都非常显著，因此，本研究自童年中期大脑发育的特点入手，从自发脑电和诱发脑电两个角度考察童年中期儿童自发脑电基本频谱相干的发展特点及不同认知发展水平、不同年龄的儿童认知发展与脑电发展的关系。研究一主要考察童年中期自发脑电频谱相干发展特点；研究二考察重量守恒水平不同的儿童在完成重量守恒任务时的脑电活动的时间进程；研究三考察不同年龄儿童完成认知任务的脑诱发电位表现。所得结果如下： 1. 自发脑电频谱相干研究发现在童年中期大脑发育存在7-8岁的加速期，并在11岁存在转折，在9、12岁达到高峰。支持儿童发展是阶段性和连续性的统一的观点。 2. 不同守恒水平儿童在完成重量守恒任务时，主要表现为晚正成分的波幅差异，且波幅存在守恒水平与电极位置的交互作用，守恒组倾向于激活右侧额中央区，而不守恒组则倾向于激活中央额区。结果不能支持阶段论，但发展是否表现为连续性，有待于进一步探索。 3. 9-10-11岁三组儿童在完成同一任务时的大脑活动存在显著差异，在脑电水平上，主要表现为N2波幅和电位图的差异，11岁组明显不同于9、10岁组。进一步考察9岁组、10岁普通智力组、10岁高智力水平组、11岁组四组儿童的诱发电位特点（潜伏期、波幅和电位图），发现，9岁组与10岁普通智力组之间N2波幅和电位图差异不显著，而10岁高智力水平组与11岁组在N2波幅和电位图上差异不显著。本实验结果提示认知发展在不同年龄段表现为阶段性，而由于同一年龄段的不同水平与其他年龄组存在水平相当的现象，认知发展从整体上看来表现为一定的连续性。 综合EEG与ERP的研究结果，得出结论，童年中期认知发展和脑电发育是阶段性和连续性的统一。

8～12岁男孩的性激素与智力、人格的关系

Recently there emerged more and more researhes concerning about sex hormone-related cognitive ability and behaviours. Few were carried out in pre- to early adolescent children., and the objective of the current study is to investigate whether there are covariance between sex hormones, intelligence and personality in 232 pre- to early adolescent boys, including 62 gifted boys. Indexes of sex hormone levels were salivary testosterone and estradiol concentrations, the 2D:4D digit ratio ( a reliable pointer of prenatal sex hormone concentraions). The Cattell Culture Fair Intelligence Test and a Chinese version of Children’s Personality Questionaire was applied in the current study. The main findings are: 1) salivary sex hormone concentrations significantly positively correlated with intelligence performance in 10-year-old boys; 2) salivary testosterone negatively related to intelligence performance in 12-year-old boys; 3) gifted boys bears lower testosterone concentrations in both prenatal period and pre- to early adolescence; 4) for personality, higher salivary estradiol was related to extraversion and digit ratios correlated with several personality factors in 8-year-old boys. In conclusion, results in the current study suggested that for male early maturers, intelligence may be negatively influenced by early coming androgen surge. In contrast, male late matures may benefit from their lately and moderately increasing hormone. Besides, the results suggested that the relationship between 2D:4D digit ratio and personality may also be paid attention to.
