Bicaudal-C基因的分子特征和生物学功能

某些蛋白翻译水平的激活和抑制对胚胎发育过程中基因表达起到重要的时空调节作用.在果蝇中,Bicaudal-c(dBic-C)基因产物被认为是一种能与RNA结合的蛋白质分子,并对转录后水平具有重要的调节作用.dBic-C基因的突变会导致果蝇缺失头部结构和重复的尾部结构,故而命名为双尾-C基因.后来又在多个不同物种(如线虫、爪蟾、小鼠)中发现dBic-C的同源基因,并且这些同源基因的蛋白质产物高度保守.小鼠的Bicaudal-C基因(Biccl)定位于10号染色体的C1区域,其蛋白质N端含有KH结构域,用于介导蛋白质与RNA的相瓦作用;C端的SAM结构域则在蛋白质与蛋白质相互结合中发挥作用.目前已发现3种与Biccl基因相关的小鼠突变体模型jcpk、bpk和67Gso,这些小鼠突变体中Biccl基因在不同位点发生突变,产生异常的蛋白质产物,结果导致小鼠肾脏发生胞囊化,并且影响身体其他器官的正常形态及功能,病理表型特征与人类的多囊肾病(polycystic kidney disease,PKD)极为相似.本文通过总结和同顾Bicaudal-C基因研究的成果和进展,揭示该基因在生物体发育和器官形成中的作用,为深入研究这一基因的生物学功能奠定基础.

Low temperature (< 100 °c) deposited P-type cuprous oxide thin films: Importance of controlled oxygen and deposition energy

With the emergence of transparent electronics, there has been considerable advancement in n-type transparent semiconducting oxide (TSO) materials, such as ZnO, InGaZnO, and InSnO. Comparatively, the availability of p-type TSO materials is more scarce and the available materials are less mature. The development of p-type semiconductors is one of the key technologies needed to push transparent electronics and systems to the next frontier, particularly for implementing p-n junctions for solar cells and p-type transistors for complementary logic/circuits applications. Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is one of the most promising candidates for p-type TSO materials. This paper reports the deposition of Cu2O thin films without substrate heating using a high deposition rate reactive sputtering technique, called high target utilisation sputtering (HiTUS). This technique allows independent control of the remote plasma density and the ion energy, thus providing finer control of the film properties and microstructure as well as reducing film stress. The effect of deposition parameters, including oxygen flow rate, plasma power and target power, on the properties of Cu2O films are reported. It is known from previously published work that the formation of pure Cu2O film is often difficult, due to the more ready formation or co-formation of cupric oxide (CuO). From our investigation, we established two key concurrent criteria needed for attaining Cu2O thin films (as opposed to CuO or mixed phase CuO/Cu2O films). First, the oxygen flow rate must be kept low to avoid over-oxidation of Cu2O to CuO and to ensure a non-oxidised/non-poisoned metallic copper target in the reactive sputtering environment. Secondly, the energy of the sputtered copper species must be kept low as higher reaction energy tends to favour the formation of CuO. The unique design of the HiTUS system enables the provision of a high density of low energy sputtered copper radicals/ions, and when combined with a controlled amount of oxygen, can produce good quality p-type transparent Cu2O films with electrical resistivity ranging from 102 to 104 Ω-cm, hole mobility of 1-10 cm2/V-s, and optical band-gap of 2.0-2.6 eV. These material properties make this low temperature deposited HiTUS Cu 2O film suitable for fabrication of p-type metal oxide thin film transistors. Furthermore, the capability to deposit Cu2O films with low film stress at low temperatures on plastic substrates renders this approach favourable for fabrication of flexible p-n junction solar cells. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

蝙蝠科三种蝙蝠的G-带和C-带

对肺、心等进行组织培养,用空气干燥法制作染色体标本,对贵州3种蝙蝠即中华鼠耳蝠(Myotischinensis)、西南鼠耳蝠(M.altarium)和亚洲长翼蝠(Miniopterus fuliginosus)进行了G-带、C-带带型分析.结果表明,2种鼠耳蝠的G-带基本相同,亚洲长翼蝠的G-带与两种鼠耳蝠有一定同源性;C-带核型中,中华鼠耳蝠和亚洲长翼蝠只有着丝粒带,而西南鼠耳蝠有的染色体有插入C-带和端位C-带.根据带型异同分析讨论了鼠耳蝠和长翼蝠间的进化关系.
