Molecular phylogenetic study and expression analysis of ATP-binding cassette transporter gene family in Oryza sativa in response to salt stress

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter is a large gene superfamily that utilizes the energy released from ATP hydrolysis for transporting myriad of substrates across the biological membranes. Although many investigations have been done on the structural and functional analysis of the ABC transporters in Oryza sativa, much less is known about molecular phylogenetic and global expression pattern of the complete ABC family in rice. In this study, we have carried out a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis constructing neighbor-joining and maximum-likelihood trees based on various statistical methods of different ABC protein subfamily of five plant lineages including Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (green algae), Physcomitrella patens (moss), Selaginella moellendorffii (lycophyte), Arabidopsis thaliana (dicot) and O. sativa (monocot) to explore the origin and evolutionary patterns of these ABC genes. We have identified several conserved motifs in nucleotide binding domain (NBD) of ABC proteins among all plant lineages during evolution. Amongst the different ABC protein subfamilies, ‘ABCE’ has not yet been identified in lower plant genomes (algae, moss and lycophytes). The result indicated that gene duplication and diversification process acted upon these genes as a major operative force creating new groups and subgroups and functional divergence during evolution. We have demonstrated that rice ABCI subfamily consists of only half size transporters that represented highly dynamic members showing maximum sequence variations among the other rice ABC subfamilies. The evolutionary and the expression analysis contribute to a deep insight into the evolution and diversity of rice ABC proteins and their roles in response to salt stress that facilitate our further understanding on rice ABC transporters.     

Cloning, Expression and Purification of Wheat Acetyl-CoA Carboxylases CT Domain in E. coil

The entire gene of carboxyltransferase（CT） domain of acetyl-CoA carboxylase（ACCase） from Chinese Spring wheat（CSW） plastid was cloned firstly, and the 2.3 kb gene was inserted into PET28a^＋ vector and expressed in E. coil in a soluble state. The （His）6 fusion protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography, and the calculated molecular mass（Mr） was 88000. The results of the sequence analysis indicate that the cloned gene（GeneBank accession No. EU124675） was a supplement and revision of the reported ACCase CT partial cDNA from Chinese Spring wheat plastid. The recombinant protein will be significant for us to investigate the recognizing mechanism between ACCase and herbicides, and further to screen new herbicides.     

单分子力谱研究活细胞上多药耐药相关蛋白1的表达

采用原子力显微镜的单分子力谱(SMFM)技术研究了多药耐药相关蛋白1(MRP1)与其抗体间的相互作用, 并考察了人舌癌细胞系TCA8113经高剂量平阳霉素(BLM)反复间歇诱导前后细胞表面MRP1的表达差异. 实验结果表明, MRP1与其抗体之间存在特异性相互作用力, 当针尖运动速率为2.5 μm/s时, 作用力大小约为(182±35) pN; 而且药物诱导后MRP1在人舌癌细胞上的表达明显增强. 本工作为了解活细胞水平上MRP1的表达提供了新方法, 有助于肿瘤细胞多药耐药性(MDR)的研究.     

化学与酶促相结合合成并克隆核糖体失活蛋白Gelonin基因

利用已知Gelonin的氨基酸序，逆向推算出整个基因的碱基序列，根据E.coli的密码子偏爱性和后续基因克隆的需要，通过沉默突变设计相应的酶切位点和碱基序列，将整个基因分为四段，每个片段约175－220pb，每一个片段中的互补链从5′末端用化学合成100－120的碱基单链，其中两个链的3′末端有20个互补碱基。利用T4DNA聚合酶酶促添补成双链DNA，用分子克隆技术，分别构建重组子，然后再构建成含整个Gelonin基因的表达载体pET-gel进行表面，经诱导后，获得了一个28000的重组蛋白，并主要以可溶形式存在。     

Integer extended ABS algorithms and possible control of intermediate results for linear Diophantine systems

We present a new class of integer extended ABS algorithms for solving linear Diophantine systems. The proposed class contains the integer ABS (the so-called EMAS and our proposed MEMAS) algorithms and the generalized Rosser’s algorithm as its members. After an application of each member of the class a particular solution of the system and an integer basis for the null space of the coefficient matrix are at hand. We show that effective algorithms exist within this class by appropriately setting the parameters of the members of the new class to control the growth of intermediate results. Finally, we propose two effective heuristic rules for selecting certain parameters in the new class of integer extended ABS algorithms.

The Minimum Rank of a 3 × 3 Partial Block Matrix

After recalling the definition and some basic properties of finite hypergroups—a notion introduced in a recent paper by one of the authors—several non-trivial examples of such hypergroups are constructed. The examples typically consist of n n×n matrices, each of which is an appropriate polynomial in a certain tri-diagonal matrix. The crucial result required in the construction is the following: ‘let A be the matrix with ones on the super-and sub-diagonals, and with main diagonal given by a ₁…a _n which are non-negative integers that form either a non-decreasing or a symmetric unimodal sequence; then A_k =P_k (A) is a non-negative matrix, where p_k denotes the characteristic polynomial of the top k× k principal submatrix of A, for k=1,…,n. The matrices A_k as well as the eigenvalues of A, are explicitly described in some special cases, such as (i) a_i =0 for all ior (ii) a_i =0 for i<n and a_n =1. Characters ot finite abelian hypergroups are defined, and that naturally leads to harmonic analysis on such hypergroups.
