短尾蝮新突触前毒素和细胞毒素的纯化及部分序列

用反相高效液相色谱技术对中国产短尾蝮蛇(Agkistrodon blomhoffii brevicaudus)毒中的毒性蛋白重新进行了纯化,结果从中获得了3个由约122个氨基酸残基构成的毒蛋白(AgTx-1,AgTx-2和AgTx-3)。三者对小鼠的LD_(50)分别为0.075,0.51和6.6mg/kg。在小鸡颈二腹肌标本上的毒理分析表明,AgTx-1和AgTx-2均在阻遏接头传递之后,亦不影响肌肉对乙酰胆碱的敏感性。在AgTx-3的作用下,标本的间接收缩则由于舒张不全而逐渐变小,最后停止在挛缩状态。部分氨基酸序列测定结果又表明,AgTx-1和AgTx-2的N-端32肽序列完全相同。考虑到AgTx-1的LD_(50)在粗毒中的含量及其序列等均与前文报道的β-AgTx极为相似,故我们认定它们为同一毒素,并定名为β_1-AgTx。而AgTx-2则应是新的突触前毒素,相应地定名为β_2-AgTx,至于AgTx-3便是新发现的细胞毒素。

Preparative Purification and Bioassay of Bt Toxin from CrylAb Transgenic Rice

A method of extracting and purifying CrylAb protein(Bt toxin) from CrylAb transgenic rice was established. Most of the Bt toxin present in the tissue of CrylAb transgenic rice was extracted effectively with a solution of 50 mmoi/LNa2CO3 and NaHCO3. The crude protein containing Bt toxin was obtained after the pretreatment of CrylAb transgenic rice with ultra-filtration, ammonium sulfate precipitation and centrifugation. The dialysed crude protein was futher separated on DEAE Sephadex A-50 columns and Sephadex G-150 columns. The protein bound on DEAE Sephadex A-50 gel was eluted with buffer solution B(10 mmol/L tris-HCI buffer 1.0 mmol/L EDTA, pH=8.0) mixed with 0. 1, 0. 3, 0.5 and 0.8 mol/L NaCI in a discontinuous gradient elution mode. The peak of the Bt toxin eluted from the columns was identified by ELISA and bioassayed with larvae of tobacco hornworms and silkworms. The purity and the bioactivity of the Bt toxin were determined by means of SDS-PAGE and larvicidal assay, respectively. The purity of the Bt toxin obtained by this method is high, and its insecticidal activity is retained after the toxin is purified.     

高效液相色谱-荧光检测法测定敬钊毒素-I的磷脂膜结合活性

敬钊毒素-I(JZTX-I)是一种能够抑制心肌钠通道失活的新型蜘蛛神经毒素,该文结合高效液相色谱与色氨酸荧光测定技术研究了JZTX-I的磷脂膜结合活性。脂质体共沉淀实验表明,JZTX-I具有不依赖于带负电荷磷脂组成的生物膜结合活性。当加入由酸性或中性磷脂构成的脂质体后,JZTX-I能够分别产生6.4和4.7nm的蓝移以及7.4和8.0nm的红移激发漂移,显示JZTX-I能够插入磷脂膜,同时该分子疏水表面的色氨酸残基处于一个运动受限的界面区域。荧光淬灭实验进一步证实,与脂质体结合能够减少该毒素分子表面色氨酸残基的溶剂暴露。该研究结果为阐明JZTX-I的离子通道门控调节机制提供了新的信息。
