An improved RNA isolation method for filamentous fungus Blakeslea trispora rich in polysaccharides

Isolation and purification of biologically active RNA from filamentous fungi is difficult because of the complex cell wall and the high level of polysaccharides which bind to or co-precipitate with RNA. Using benzyl chloride and guanidine thiocyanate, RNA was successfully isolated from Blakeslea trispora in which other RNA extraction methods and commercially available kits failed to deliver suitable results. The RNA isolated by this procedure appears to be relatively pure, as it has a ratio of absorbance at 260/280 nm of 1.8–1.9. The integrity of the RNA was further substantiated by RT-PCR and Northern hybridization, respectively. This procedure should be useful for isolating RNA from other filamentous fungi and, therefore, will serve as an important tool for the molecular analysis of these organisms.     

Photo-induced copper-catalyzed alkynylation and amination of remote unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds

A method for remote radical C–H alkynylation and amination of diverse aliphatic alcohols has been developed. The reaction features a copper nucleophile complex formed in situ as a photocatalyst, which reduces the silicon-tethered aliphatic iodide to an alkyl radical to initiate 1,n-hydrogen atom transfer. Unactivated secondary and tertiary C–H bonds at β, γ, and δ positions can be functionalized in a predictable manner.

Rapid Identification of 3,6′-Disinapoyl Sucrose Metabolites in Alzheimer’s Disease Model Mice Using UHPLC–Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by the progressive impairment of neural activity. Studies have shown that 3,6′-disinapoyl sucrose (DISS) can alleviate the pathological symptoms of AD through the activation of the cAMP/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway. However, the exact biochemical mechanisms of action of DISS are not clear. This study explores metabolism of DISS in an AD mouse model, induced by the microinjection of a lentiviral expression plasmid of the APPswe₆₉₅ gene into CA1 of the hippocampus. After gavage administration of DISS (200 mg/kg), the kidneys, livers, brains, plasma, urine, and feces were collected for UHPLC–Orbitrap mass spectrometry analysis. Twenty metabolites, including the prototype drug of DISS, were positively or tentatively identified based on accurate mass measurements, characteristic fragmentation behaviors, and retention times. Thus, the metabolic pathways of DISS in AD mice were preliminarily elucidated through the identification of metabolites, such as ester bond cleavage, demethoxylation, demethylation, and sinapic acid-related products. Furthermore, differences in the in vivo distribution of several metabolites were observed between the model and sham control groups. These findings can provide a valuable reference for the pharmacological mechanisms and biosafety of DISS.     

长江中国胭脂鱼群体的遗传分化

研究采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性（PCR—RFLP）技术，分析了长江上、中游的宜宾、万州、宜昌和武汉金口4个江段的中国胭脂鱼群体的遗传结构．用13个限制性内切酶分析了4个群体线粒体DNAND-5／6片段的限制性片段长度多态性，发现Nci Ⅰ的酶切类型多态性是表现中国胭脂鱼遗传多样性的特异性标志．根据其酶切图谱显示的群体之间存在的多态性，计算出遗传距离和核酸序列差异程度．分析表明，长江宜宾江段的中国胭脂鱼群体与其他3群体产生了明显的歧化现象，长江中、下游群体间的基因交流好于上游群体，中国胭脂鱼群体内遗传结构比较单一，其群体的遗传多样性程度有进一步减退的可能性．     

磁性纳米氮化铝颗粒固定化β-葡萄糖苷酶的性质

以戊二醛为交联剂,研究了磁性纳米氮化铝颗粒固定化β-葡萄糖苷酶的条件及固定化酶的结构特征,并考察了固定化酶的某些酶学性质.结果表明,在4.5 ml磁性纳米氮化铝颗粒悬液(100 mg/ml)中加入0.5 ml戊二醛溶液(2%)超声波分散后,加入5 ml β-葡萄糖苷酶溶液(50 mg/ml),于20℃,pH 5.0和100 r/min条件下固载3.5 h,酶蛋白和酶活回收率分别为82.6%和78.4%.固定化β-葡萄糖苷酶的结构松散,不改变酶的结构特征.与游离酶相比,固定化酶对对硝基苯基-β-D-葡萄糖苷水解反应的最佳反应温度有所降低,最佳反应pH值有所升高,而米氏常数Km值有所增大,且具有良好的贮存稳定性和操作稳定性,表明磁性纳米氮化铝颗粒适合作为β-葡萄糖苷酶的固定化载体.
