不同氮素供应下水稻酚类物质代谢关键酶基因差异表达

运用实时荧光定量PCR技术探讨了不同供氮条件下强化感与弱化感水稻苯丙烷代谢途径中9个关键酶基因的表达差异。结果表明,与正常氮素供应相比,低氮胁迫引起强化感水稻‘P1312777’中与酚类代谢途径相关的9个关键酶基因表达量均上调,表达量增幅在1.9～5.4倍之间,且以PAL基因上调倍数最大。而弱化感水稻‘Lemont’则相反,只有2个基因(苯丙氨酸裂解酶基因和肉桂酰CoA基因)表达上调,但上调倍数分别是强化感水稻对应的基因的22%和74%,其余的7个基因表达均下调,降幅在29%～72%之间,表明低氮胁迫诱发的水稻化感抑草能力增强与其体内酚类物质合成代谢增强有关。     

水稻转录因子OsBP-73靶基因的初步筛选

OsBP-73是用酵母单杂交系统,以水稻蜡质基因(Wx)的顺式作用元件为诱饵,从水稻cDNA表达文库中筛选获得的转录因子。本文以OsBP-73基因为例介绍了用"下拉"(pull-down)方法筛选转录因子靶基因的一般步骤。将含有该基因DNA结合功能域的cDNA片段构建到原核表达载体上,并在大肠杆菌中诱导表达获得其蛋白p73。用纯化后的p73蛋白通过"下拉"实验对OsBP-73靶基因进行初步筛选,获得了22个阳性克隆,为进一步研究转录因子OsBP-73参与的水稻转录调控网络提供依据。

Na(+)-coupled transport of L-carnitine via high-affinity carnitine transporter OCTN2 and its subcellular localization in kidney

The mechanism of Na(+)-dependent transport of L-carnitine via the carnitine/organic cation transporter OCTN2 and the subcellular localization of OCTN2 in kidney were studied. Using plasma membrane vesicles prepared from HEK293 cells that were stably transfected with human OCTN2, transport of L-carnitine via human OCTN2 was characterized. Uptake of L-[(3)H]carnitine by the OCTN2-expressing membrane vesicles was significantly increased in the presence of an inwardly directed Na(+) gradient, with an overshoot, while such transient uphill transport was not observed in membrane vesicles from cells that were mock transfected with expression vector pcDNA3 alone. The uptake of L-[(3)H]carnitine was specifically dependent on Na(+) and the osmolarity effect showed that Na(+) significantly influenced the transport rather than the binding. Changes of inorganic anions in the extravesicular medium and of membrane potential by valinomycin altered the initial uptake activity of L-carnitine by OCTN2. In addition, the fluxes of L-carnitine and Na(+) were coupled with 1:1 stoichiometry. Accordingly, it was clarified that Na(+) is coupled with flux of L-carnitine and the flux is an electrogenic process. Furthermore, OCTN2 was localized on the apical membrane of renal tubular epithelial cells. These results clarified that OCTN2 is important for the concentrative reabsorption of L-carnitine after glomerular filtration in the kidney.
