耐辐射奇球菌Deinococcus radiodurans中非编码RNA   总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1  
耐辐射奇球菌(Deinococcus Radiodurans)对电离辐射、紫外线以及强氧化剂等方面具有惊人的抗性。非编码RNA(non-coding RNA,ncRNA)在参与转录调控、RNA的加工与修饰、mRNA的转录、蛋白质的运输与稳定性调节等方面具有非常明显的作用。本文通过概率上下文无关算法(Stochastic ContextFree Grammar,SCFG),对耐辐射奇球菌R1菌株的基因间序列进行相似二级结构预测,结果发现,在耐辐射奇球菌R1基因组的非编码区存在28个非编码RNA家族。其中IRE家族成员最多,其次是Histone3、tRNA和SECIS家族。所发现的DicF与ctRNA_pGA1t、mRNA等家族成员为细菌所特有。与其他生物比较分析结果显示,可以用这些非编码RNA来研究耐辐射奇球菌的生物学功能,并为进一步研究其DNA损伤与修复分子机制提供依据。  相似文献

RNA解旋酶参与了细胞中RNA的代谢过程,因而研究RNA解旋酶的功能具有重要意义。耐辐射奇球菌(DR)对于电离辐射具有极强的耐受性,其基因组中编码了一个RNA解旋酶(DR1624)。为研究该RNA解旋酶的功能,利用同源重组方法在细胞内对编码该蛋白的基因进行了敲除,并比较了突变株与野生株在DNA损伤因子胁迫下的生存率。结果表明,dr1624的缺失导致耐辐射奇球菌的生长速率大幅度降低,且表现出明显的温度敏感性。37℃的生长温度能够部分恢复Δ1624突变株的生长表型,其可能是由于相对较高的温度有助于细胞中RNA二级结构的自然打开。Δ1624突变株对高剂量的H2O2胁迫(40 mmol·L~(-1))敏感,其生存率较野生型菌株R1下降了3个数量级。此外,为了更近一步了解该RNA解旋酶的功能,对其进行了同源建模,发现了潜在的核酸结合位点。综上所述,RNA解旋酶在耐辐射奇球菌的生长及其极端抗性中扮演了重要的角色,该研究结果为进一步探索RNA解旋酶的生物学功能奠定了基础。  相似文献

为进一步明确耐辐射奇球菌中锰调蛋白Mur的具体结构与功能,采用序列比对分析和定点突变技术构建了耐辐射奇球菌的锰调蛋白Mur(DR0865)的3个保守氨基酸位点突变株,并分析3个点突变菌株的金属离子敏感性、Mn2+结合对功能的影响、外界胁迫耐受性及点突变蛋白的DNA体外结合活性。结果表明,3个定点突变H77A、H78A和H79A都是Mur蛋白重要的活性位点,对Mur调控细胞吸收外源性锰离子的功能起到决定性的作用,同时影响了Mur的Mn2+结合活性。凝胶迁移率实验表明H78与H79位点对Mur的DNA结合活性至关重要。本研究为探究耐辐射奇球菌的极端抗性和锰调蛋白的具体作用机制提供了重要的理论依据。  相似文献

阳离子对耐辐射奇球菌对放射性铯生物吸收的影响(英文)   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
耐辐射奇球菌能够耐受高剂量的辐射,促使人们考虑利用此特性进行放射性核素和有毒化学品的生物修复。但是,有关耐辐射奇球菌对放射性铯的生物吸收却未见报道。本文研究了耐辐射奇球菌对放射性铯的生物吸收及其他阳离子对其生物吸收的影响。在平衡状态时,耐辐射奇球菌对放射性铯的最大吸收量为2100kBq/kg(鲜重)。在供试的一价阳离子中,NH4+对其生物吸收的拮抗作用最强,但是只有当NH4+的浓度超过100mmol/L时,这种拮抗作用才比较明显。二价阳离子,如Ca2+和Pb2+也能降低耐辐射奇球菌对放射性铯的吸收。Al3+和Cr3+对耐辐射奇球菌具有较强的细胞毒性,当其浓度超过1mmol/L时,耐辐射奇球菌的生长就完全被抑制。  相似文献

DNA损伤很易阻断复制叉的前进。损伤DNA的修复以及接下来停止复制叉的重启动过程对细胞生存极为重要。依赖于PriA的复制重启动机制是细菌复制重启动的主要途径。为了解priA类似基因Dr2606在耐辐射球菌中的作用,并检测Dr2606在DNA修复中的作用,本研究用卡那霉素抗性基因代替Dr2606阅读框,构建了Dr2606缺失突变株,并对突变株进行UV和丝裂霉素处理,测定了Dr2606突变株的转化效率。Dr2606的突变导致菌体生长缓慢,细胞生存率急剧下降。意外的是,耐辐射球菌的DNA修复能力没有削弱。但突变株的转化效率大大削弱。这说明在耐辐射球菌中priA类似基因Dr2606对停止复制叉的重启动过程并不是必需的;耐辐射球菌不依赖于原点的复制重启动过程可能与其他细菌不同。  相似文献

用化学发光法分析了耐辐射球菌 (D .radiodurans)的两个菌株 (R1、KD830 1 )和大肠杆菌对超氧阴离子自由基、羟基自由基和过氧化氢的清除能力。通过羟基自由基诱导的DNA氧化损伤化学发光模型考察了耐辐射球菌细胞提取物对自由基氧化导致DNA氧化损伤的保护作用。结果表明 ,耐辐射球菌提取物能显著清除O-2·、H2 O2 和·OH ,清除能力明显高于大肠杆菌 ,并能有效地防止自由基所致DNA氧化损伤 ,表现出超强的抗氧化和耐辐射能力 ,这归因于耐辐射球菌中具有较高的抗氧化酶活性  相似文献

根据耐辐射球菌(Deinococcus radiodurans) rpoB基因的保守性,建立了rpoB/Rifr 突变分析系统。为研究不同利福平(rifampin, Rif)浓度对耐辐射球菌自发突变率和突变谱的影响,分别检测耐不同利福平浓度下辐射球菌的突变率。结果表明:在5μg/ml的利福平浓度下耐辐射球菌的突变率显著高于其在25和50μg/ml浓度下的突变率。随利福平浓度的不同而表现出的突变谱差异,表明在不同利福平浓度引起的活性自由氧(reactive oxygen species, ROS)压力下,耐辐射球菌可能使用不同抗突变的应对策略。在低利福平浓度下,耐辐射球菌重点修复碱基替换突变导致的DNA损伤。这可能是因为ROS的主要作用是导致DNA出现氧化性碱基损伤。  相似文献

耐辐射异常球菌(D.radiodurans)超强的辐照抗性归因于其高效的DNA损伤修复系统,磷酸戊糖途径(PPP)作为细胞各种糖类代谢枢纽,是合成核苷酸和核酸所需的核糖以及生成细胞还原力(NADPH)的重要途径。为探究D.radiodurans R1中PPP对DNA损伤修复的影响,本研究敲除PPP中编码限速酶葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)的基因zwf,比较UV辐照后突变株Δzwf与野生型D.radiodurans的生理生化差异。结果表明,zwf突变导致菌株对UV辐照敏感;UV辐照后Δzwf胞内NADPH、D-核糖、核苷酸合成前体IMP、UMP含量明显降低;葡萄糖酸-δ-内酯及D-核糖能完全和部分恢复Δzwf的UV辐射抗性。综上可知PPP通过提供DNA损伤修复原料及还原力,在DNA损伤修复过程中起着重要作用。本研究结果为DNA损伤修复机理提供参考。  相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing.  相似文献

Staff members of the Department of Botany of Palacký University in Olomouc and Gene Bank Department – Workplace Olomouc, Research Institute of Crop Production in Prague, Czech Republic, conducted an expedition in seven European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland) in August/September 1999 to collect wild Lactuca spp. germplasm and study its geographic distribution, ecology and biodiversity. During the mission, more than 600 locations were visited resulting in the collection of 602 seed samples (accessions) of wild Lactuca species and 13 seed samples of related genera (Chondrilla and Mycelis). Lactuca serriola f. serriola, L. serriola f. integrifolia, L. saligna and L. viminea subsp. chondrilliflora were prevalent in southern Europe (Italy, France), however, only L. serriola was common in central and western Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland). The greatest diversity of Lactuca species was found in France, where also the most seed samples (165) were collected. The most characteristic habitats with a high density of Lactuca spp. populations were observed along roads and highways, grassy ditches, ruderal communities, and dust-heaps. Natural infections by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) on some wild Lactuca spp. were observed. Recent observations concerning the geographic distribution, population structure, habitats, and natural occurrence of diseases of Lactuca spp. are discussed. This assemblage of genetic resources of Lactuca spp. can serve as the basis of future studies of species diversification, spatial population structure, plant microevolution, domestication processes, and genetic variability of host-parasite interactions.  相似文献

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils.  相似文献

We have studied the effect of anaerobically digested (ADMSW) and composted municipal solid waste (CMSW) on mineralization and foodweb dynamics to verify the hypothesis that ADMSW would immobilize N right after addition to soil in contrast to addition with CMSW. Another hypothesis was that the mesofauna (enchytraeids and microarthropods) would stimulate N release from the decomposer community. We measured excretion of -N and urea-N from the mesofauna and hypothesized that enchytraeids would release urea. ADMSW and CMSW were amended to pots with sandy loam and barley. The pots were divided into treatments with or without mesofauna. Mesofauna, plant N and biomass, soil N and ergosterol (fungal biomass) were measured over a 113-day period of four equidistant samplings. Soil respiration, N mineralization and N release by the mesofauna were modelled from concurrent studies. ADMSW- and CMSW-treated soils initially (<20 days) immobilized N. The amendments did not increase plant growth substantially, and this was probably due to N-limitation in the early stages of plant growth. Enchytraeid abundance was about three times higher in ADMSW- than CMSW-treated soils, indicating that ADMSW contained more labile compounds, bacteria, and microfauna. The mesofauna did not affect N-content, but the cumulated -N excreted by the mesofauna was estimated to be substantial and about one-fifth of total plant N in ADMSW. An explanation for this discrepancy might be that in the absence of the mesofauna, other members of the detrivore and microbivore community performed the mesofauna’s function. Neither enchytraeids nor microarthropods excreted urea.  相似文献

Abstract

A 3-year study was carried out to investigate quality parameters in 14 tree fruit and berry species grown in southern Norway. The species were blueberry, apple, aronia, sour cherry, sweet cherry, red raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, red currant and elderberry, harvested along with wild bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry. Significant differences between species were identified for all quality parameters. The coefficient of variation between species was lowest for pH (12.5%), dry matter (18.9%) and soluble solids (25.3%), followed by titratable acids (59.3%), total phenolics (83.8%), antioxidant capacity FRAP (85.7%) and antiradical power by the DPPH-assay (97.8%), total monomeric anthocyanins (132%) and ascorbic acid (137%). Average coefficient of variation within species were lower and ranged from 4 (pH) to 62% (ascorbic acid). Only the FRAP values were significantly affected by harvesting year with lower levels in 2004 than in 2005 and 2006. There were significant interactions between species and harvesting year for dry matter, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid and FRAP. The results indicate generic ranges in composition within species independent upon growing location and climate, and the composition of the tree fruits and berries is not likely to deviate from these ranges. It is concluded that desirable composition of tree fruits and berries and their products should primarily be achieved by selection among species rather than searching fors broadened variation within individual species.  相似文献

Potassium (K) fixation and release in soil are important factors in the long-term sustainability of a cropping system. Changes in K concentration and characteristics of K fixation and release in rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)–rice (Oryza sativa L.) rotation were investigated using a rhizobox system. The concentrations of different forms of K in both rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils decreased with plants compared to without plants, regardless of K fertilizer application. Potassium uptake by crops mainly came from the rhizosphere soil. In the treatment without K fertilizer (–K), the main form of K supplied by the soil to the crops was 1.0 mol L?1 nitric acid (HNO3) nonextractable K, followed by nonexchangeable K, and then exchangeable K. In the treatment with K fertilizer (+K), the main K forms supplied by the soil to the crops were exchangeable K and nonexchangeable K. The amount and rate of K fixation after one cycle of the rapeseed–rice rotation was greater in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The amount and rate of K fixation of soil in the +K treatment were significantly less than in the –K treatment. The cumulative amounts of K released with 1.0 mol L?1 ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) and 1.0 mol L?1 HNO3 extraction increased with the increasing numbers of extractions, but the K-releasing power of soil by successive extraction decreased gradually and finally became almost constant. The release of K was less in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The release of K in the +K treatment was similar to that in the –K treatment in rhizosphere soil, but the K release in nonrhizosphere soil was greater with the +K than the –K treatment. Overall, the information obtained in this study will be helpful in formulating more precise K fertilizer recommendations for certain soils.  相似文献
