菜豆叶片衰老期间叶绿体被膜膜脂与脂肪酸组分的变化

菜豆叶片叶绿体总脂和被膜膜脂中均含有单半乳糖甘油二脂和双半乳糖甘油二脂,在整个衰老期间两种糖脂的比值变化不大。叶绿体总脂中含有5种磷脂,脂肪酸以不饱和的亚麻酸为主,而被膜膜脂中仅含磷脂酰胆碱和磷脂酰甘油,脂肪酸以饱和的棕榈酸为主,不饱和亚油酸为次。叶片衰老过程中被膜所含两种磷脂比值明显降低,脂肪酸的不饱和指数也因亚麻酸相对含量显著减少、棕榈酸相对含量增加而降低。     

拟南芥叶片衰老过程中细胞溶血磷脂和膜脂不饱和度的变化

细胞膜的流动性和渗透性的改变是植物衰老过程中一个内在的、具有破坏性的变化。膜脂组成中,溶血磷脂的出现是膜伤害的一个重要标志;膜脂双键数目的变化是影响膜流动性的主要因素。应用脂类组学的方法,检测了拟南芥野生型及其磷脂酶Dδ (PLDδ)缺失型突变体在离体诱导的、脱落酸（abscisic acid, ABA）和乙烯（ethylene）促进的衰老过程中,溶血磷脂（lysophospholipids, lysoPLs）的分子变化,并通过计算膜脂双键指数（double bond index, DBI）表征了膜流动性的变化。结果表明,在离体诱导的衰老过程和乙烯促进的衰老过程中,溶血磷脂的总含量和各溶血磷脂分子的变化不显著,而在ABA促进的衰老过程中溶血磷脂总含量和部分溶血磷脂分子均显著升高;在上述三种衰老处理下,总膜脂的DBI均下降,但是离体诱导和激素促进的的衰老过程中各类膜脂的DBI的变化却不同。同时我们还发现,抑制PLDδ基因表达降低了ABA促进的衰老过程中溶血磷脂的产生、减缓了ABA和乙烯促进的衰老过程中总的膜脂的DBI的降低。     

ABA诱致叶绿体膜脂变化和脂褐素类似物积累

酰脂是叶绿体膜结构的主要组分,它们的种类和在膜上的分布与膜的功能有关(Rawyler和Siegenthaler 1980)。Henry等(1982)曾证明,叶绿体在体外老化时膜的半乳糖脂和磷脂的相对含量发生变化。ABA一般能加速叶片的衰老反应,它在叶片衰老时积累(Wright和 Hiron 1970)。在气孔开启状态下,激动素有防止衰老的效应(Thimann和Satler 1979)。在衰老的菜豆(Pha-     

水稻干胚膜脂脂肪酸组分差异性分析

水稻干胚膜脂主要由磷脂酰胆碱、磷脂酰乙醇胺、磷脂酰肌醇、磷脂酰甘油、单半乳糖双甘油脂和双半乳糖双甘油脂组成,其脂肪酸组成主要是棕榈酸、油酸、亚油酸和亚麻酸。干胚线粒体和花粉粒膜脂及其脂肪酸组分与干胚膜脂相似,但配比有所不同。干胚膜脂的脂肪酸不饱和度与水稻品种遗传特性(如低温适应性)有关,而且也受胚形成期温度的影响。脂肪酸不饱和度与温度呈负相关。膜类脂不饱和度的差异主要是由脂肪酸组或的不同配比引起;温度引起的脂肪酸不饱和度的差异是由油酸和亚油酸含量上的变化引起的。干胚膜脂脂肪酸不饱和度与开花结实期低温适应性的关系可能作为水稻开花结实期抗冷性鉴定的一个指标,值得进一步加以研究。     

酵母线粒体的磷脂转运

线粒体是一种由两层膜包被的细胞器,其功能和结构的稳定性取决于线粒体膜上精确的磷脂组成及分布。线粒体膜上的大部分脂类物质由内质网合成,既而转运到线粒体。而部分脂类利用内质网上产生的前体,在线粒体内膜上合成。由此可见,线粒体膜脂的生物合成需要线粒体与内质网以及线粒体外膜(outer mitochondrial membrane, OMM)与内膜(inner mitochondrial membrane, IMM)之间进行大量的脂质转运。目前认为,这种运输过程既可在拴系因子(tether factors)形成的膜结合部位(membrane contact sites, MCSs)内发生,也可借助脂质转运蛋白(lipid transfer proteins, LTPs)完成。近年来,研究者以酵母为对象,建立了多种线粒体磷脂转运(phospholipid trafficking)的模型,这使人们初步理解了线粒体磷脂转运的机制。本综述总结了酵母线粒体磷脂转运的最新发现,并对这些磷脂转运的模型进行了讨论,以期为今后深入了解线粒体脂类代谢提供参考。     

心磷脂和线粒体内膜

心磷脂是构成线粒体内膜的主要磷脂之一,约75～90%的心磷脂分布在线粒体内膜脂双层的基质面,是线粒体内膜的特征性磷脂。心磷脂使线粒体内膜具有良好的流动性,利于呼吸链各复合物在膜脂双层中的侧向扩散。呼吸链的复合物与心磷脂特异结合才能表现其活性。在一定的条件下,心磷脂亦能形成六角形(?)相,这种多形性特点对离子转运和电子传递有重要意义。     

干旱条件下冬小麦幼苗根细胞膜脂组成的变化

干旱条件下小麦幼苗根膜脂总脂肪酸含量、磷脂含量及总脂肪酸双键指数均下降,而游离甾醇含量却明显增加,结果导致游离甾醇／磷脂比率上升。用薄层层析法测得小麦根细胞磷脂主要由磷脂酰胆碱（ＰＣ）、磷脂酰乙醇胺（ＰＥ）、磷脂酰肌醇（ＰＩ）及磷脂酸（ＰＡ）组成。干旱降低了各种磷脂的含量,但不改变其相对配比。文中讨论了膜脂代谢变化与植物抗旱性的关系

酿酒酵母酚类抑制物耐受性脂质组学研究

通过脂质组学分析方法从细胞膜磷脂分布方面探究适应进化酿酒酵母酚酸耐受性机制。主要利用高效液相色谱-质谱(LC-MS)对酚酸胁迫下适应进化菌株和原始菌株脂质成分检测并进行统计学比较分析。检测出565种脂质代谢物,包含细胞膜磷脂185种。相比初始菌株,适应进化菌株细胞膜中磷脂酰胆碱(PC)、磷脂酰乙醇胺(PE)和磷脂酰肌醇(PI)类磷脂分子相对含量增加,含有长链(C32-C36)和双不饱和脂酰链的磷脂分子含量增加。统计学分析表明显著性差异磷脂分子主要为含有长链不饱和脂酰链的PC和PE类磷脂分子。推测适应进化菌株通过膜磷脂重塑提高细胞膜完整性,对酚类抑制物起到选择性屏障作用,从而保持细胞活性。     

儿茶素诱导的拟南芥根细胞膜脂变化

儿茶素是一种可以短时间内杀死植物细胞的植物毒素,由于具有强的植物毒性,儿茶素是开发除草剂的理想化合物,它可以诱导植物根系统的死亡。为了研究植物根细胞膜脂对化学胁迫的响应规律,我们运用高通量的脂类组学方法检测了拟南芥根中膜脂分子的组成,比较了儿茶素处理下拟南芥野生型（WS）及磷脂酶Dδ缺失突变体（PLDδ KO）根中膜脂分子的组成情况、膜脂含量、双键指数及碳链长度值。结果发现,儿茶素处理拟南芥根90min后,二半乳糖基二酰甘油（DGDG）、单半乳糖基二酰甘油（MGDG）、磷脂酰甘油（PG）、磷脂酰胆碱（PC）及磷脂酰肌醇（PI）的总含量在WS与PLDδ KO植株根中都显著下降,磷脂酰乙醇胺（PE）和磷脂酰丝氨酸（PS）在WS中下降,在PLDδ KO中上升。儿茶素处理导致PLDδ KO植株的PC/PE比值显著下降,WS植株PS碳链长度显著增加。上述结果说明儿茶素处理后,磷脂酶Dδ缺失突变体膜不稳定性增加,PLDδ KO植株对儿茶素胁迫更加敏感。

Cause of Senescence of Nine Sorts of Flowers

The levels of endogenous phytohormones and respiratory rate in nine sorts of flowers such as Cymbidium faberi Rolfe, Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth and others were investigated both at full bloom and senescence and meanwhile the effect of exogenous phytohormones on prolonging the blossoms and promoting ethylene production were tested. There is a high content of endogenous ethylene in all the long-lived flowere, about 3–16 folds higer than the short-lived ones. There is a high level of ABA at full blooming flowers of short-lived flowers, in which there is no or only some cytokinins in it, but the ratio of CTK (6BA+zeatin)/ABA is smaller(l.7). The endogenous ABA reached a much higher level at senescence in all nine sorts of flowers, so it is reasonable to consider that it is ABA which plays an important role of regulation in controlling flower's senescence. There is a much higher level of GA3 and zeatin in the long-lived flowers which is not demonstrated in the shortlived ones. The respiratory rate is one of the factors controtling the longevity of flowers, but it does not play a decided role. Application of 6BA and zeatin prolongs distinctly orchid’s longevity, however exogenous IAA through the promotive action on ethylene production, evidently extends the longevity of the flowers of the Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth.

The effects of glutamine of the maintenance of embryogenic cultures of Cryptomeria japonica

Summary Embryogenic tissues of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) were induced on a modified Campbell and Durzan (CD) medium containing 1 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 600 mg l⁻¹ glutamine, and subcultured in the medium of the same composition for over 1 yr. This resulted in a mixed culture of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells. When embryogenic cells were isolated and cultured independently, their capacity to form embryogenic aggregates was lost. Thus, the non-embryogenic cells present within a mixed culture system were essential to the formation of embryogenic aggregates. When embryogenic tissues were isolated and cultured independently on a high glutamine-containing (2400 mg l⁻¹) medium, dry weights and endogenous levels of glutamine increased, and the tissue could generate a large number of embryogenic aggregates. Amino acid analysis of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells from the maintenance culture indicated a higher level of glutamine was present in the latter. The high endogenous level of glutamine in the non-embryogenic portion of mixed cell masses may be the supplier of glutamine for maintaining the embryogenic property of the tissues.     

Specificity of action of piperidylcholine derivatives as substrates of cholinesterases of various origin

The review deals with study of enzymologic properties of a novel highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate, N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium iodomethylate (“piperidylcholine”), and its 30 derivatives that were tested as effectors of cholinesterases of mammals and various species of Pacific squids. It was proven for the first time that responsible for specificity of action was structure of cyclic ammonium grouping of the alcohol part of molecule of the ester substrate. Analysis of specificity is performed based on enzymatic hydrolysis parameters—activity of catalytic center of cholinesterases and bimolecular constant of the reaction rate that are determined at optimal and low substrate concentrations. Among the specially synthesized group of thioester compounds there is revealed one more highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate—N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium.

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.     

The mechanism of hatching of eggs of Haemonchus contortus

Fluid collected from hatching eggs of Haemonchus contortus contained a lipase which hydrolysed 2-naphthyl laurate (about 0·7 μmol naphthol freed /h/10⁶ eggs). The fluid also hydrolysed l-leucinamide (about 2·3 μmol leucine freed/h/10⁶ eggs). The fluid when added to normal or heated eggs caused ‘hatching’. ‘Hatching’ also occurred in exsheathing fluid from infective juveniles and in a preparation of pancreatic lipase containing leucine aminopeptidase. A purified mammalian leucine aminopeptidase in combination with several different lipases did not attack egg shells.The ‘spontaneous’ hatching of eggs of H. contortus was strongly inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline, 10^?3M, and this inhibition was reversed by Zn²⁺. However, the inhibition of ‘hatching’ of eggs in externally applied hatching fluid, or the hydrolysis of leucinamide in hatching fluid was generally less marked.
