      Abstract:To explore the effects of tyrosine oxidation products(TOP) on the spatial learning and memory of rats and hippocampus. 40 SD rats are divided into four groups:Control(normal diet),Tyr group(add 0.44%Tyr),TOP1group(add 0.22% tyrosine oxidation products) and TOP2 group(add 0.44% tyrosine oxidation products). After 24-week feeding,Morris water maze is used to test the spatial learning and memory of rats. Protein and lipid oxidation products in hippocampus are measured. Expressions of antioxidation- and inflammation- related genes are detected using RT-PCR. The results show that,after 24-week feeding,compared with Control and Tyr group mice,TOP1 and TOP2 group rats showed impaired spatial learning and memory in Morris water maze;hippocampal MDA,4-HNE,Dityr,3-NT and Aβ40 are significantly increased(p<0.05);expressions of Nrf2、NF-κB and iNOS were significantly up-regulated(p<0.05). Thus,tyrosine oxidation products induce oxidative damage to rats hippocampus,accumulation of lipid and protein oxidation products in hippocampus,and impair the spatial learning and memory of rats.

      Abstract:In this study,codon usage optimization and co-expression of molecular chaperone are used to improve the extracellular production of alkaline polygalacturonate lyase(PGL) in Pichia pastoris. According to the codon bias of P. pastoris,the gene of the stabilized mutant(K314M) of Bacillus sp. WSHB04-02 PGL is optimized and cloned into the EcoR I-Not I sites of pPIC9K-PGL,yielding the expression plasmid pPIC9K-PGL. pPIC9K-PGL is transformed into the P. pastoris GS115(his-),yielding the strain GS115/PGL 14#. GS115/PGL 14# produced 301.32 U/mL of extracellular PGL which is 25.1% higher than that of the strain with native PGL gene. On this basis,two molecular chaperones the protein folding factors endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreduction 1(ERO1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme(UBC1) are co-expressed with the optimized K314M gene individually and simultaneously. It is showed that co-expression of ERO1 and UBC1 at the same time(GS115/PGLl-ERO1-UBC1 2#) increased the extracellular PGL by 49.3%,which is up to 450.12 U/mL. By using an exponential fed-batch strategy in 3L-fermenter,GS115/PGLl-ERO1- UBC1 2# produces 1 362.31 U/mL after the 96 h induction by methanol. The results here may benefit the industrial production and application of the PGL.

      Abstract:The poly(solketal methacrylate)-block-poly(glycidyl methacrylate)(PSA-b-PGMA) copolymer is synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP) and functionalized with mannose by the "click" reaction to yield PSA-b-PGMA-Mannose. These copolymers are used to prepare polymeric micelles,and an anticancer drug,doxorubicin(DOX),is encapsulated into the micelles by oil-water method. Structure of PSA-b-PGMA-Mannose is confirmed by 1H NMR and FT-IR. The size and morphologie of PSA-b-PGMA-Mannose with different block ratios were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The in vitro cytotoxicity and cellular uptake against MDA-MB-231 cancer cells were evaluated by confocal laser scanning microscopy and MTT assay. The results show a decrease in the average size of micelles upon an increase in the hydrophilic/hydrophobic block ratio. The DOX-loaded micelles are efficiently trapped by MDA-MB-231 cancer cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis and releass loaded DOX into the cells.

      Abstract:Silk fibroin contains 10% of tyrosine residues,however,the reactivity of fibroin is limited owing to the restricted accessibility. In this work,grafting of a tyrosine-containing polypeptide is carried out using a natural crosslinking agent of Genipin(GP),aiming at promoting the tyrosinase-catalyzed reaction between fibroin and anime compounds. The changes in molecular weight,structure and performance are investigated by means of SDS-PAGE,FTIR and TG,are the efficiency of enzymatic grafting of ε-Poly-L-Lysine (ε-PL) is also concerned. The results indicate that the molecular weight for the fibroin proteins increas after GP treatment;the thermo stability and mechanical property for the fibroin-based membranes are also improved compared to the control. Based on methyl orange colorimetry,it is also verified that grafting of polypeptide could promote the tyrosinase-catalyzed coupling of ε-PL. It provides an efficient way to improve reactivity of fibroin via grafting of tyrosine-containing using GP.

      Abstract:Botulinum toxin(BoNT) is a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum,which is one of the most powerful toxin. To study the activity and function of BoNT/A in yeast,BoNT/A LC in yeast is expressed,observing the yeast growth and BoNT/A protein expressing level by western blot. Expression of LC of BoNT cerotype A caused a growth defect in yeast cells,and the toxicity is due to the hydrolytic activity. It is because catalytically inactive BoNT/A LC does not cause a growth defect in yeast cells. Overexpression of a yeast SNAP-25 homologue gene,SEC9,could rescue the growth defect in BoNT/A LC expressing cells. The results demonstrate that,in BoNT/A LC expressing yeast cells,the hydrolytic activity can be monitored through their growth. Thus,such cells can be used to analyze BoNT/A.

      Abstract:BBS2 is a BBSome subunit and its loss causes Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a model organism used for studying the Bardet-Biedl syndrome. To investigate the role of BBS2 in causing Bardet-Biedl syndrome,a prokaryotic expression vector,pET28a-bbs2 is constructed by inserting the 5' 399 bp fragment of the bbs2 gene into the pET28a plasmid. The recombinant vector is then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) to induce the 6×His-BBS2 fusion protein expression. SDS- PAGE electrophoresis shows that this fusion protein is insoluble and expressed with a molecular weight of approximately 15 kDa as expected. In the presence of 8 mol/L urine,the fusion protein is purified by Ni-affinity purification and used to immunize New Zealand white rabbits. After the 5th immunization,the antisera are determined to have a titer of as high as 256 000. The antisera are then purified using protein A sepharose CL-4B. The polyclonal antibody prepared can specifically bind the C. reinhardtii BBS2 as shown in Western blotting assay and identified BBS2 in the basal bodies and in the flagellum as determined by immunofluorescent microscopy. The availability of this antibody will strengthen the research to investigate the role of BBS2 in causing Bardet-Biedl syndrome.

      Abstract:The lactobacilli which has high cholesterol uptake and utilization rate are isolated after screening. Their cholesterol-reducing mechanism is detected in vitro,to provide a theoretical basis for cholesterol-reducing fermented food research and development. The probiotic strains with cholesterol-reducing activity are first obtained by screening. Then the saponification-colorimetric screening is performed to obtain lactobacillus strains with high cholesterol absorption efficiency. The lactobacilli has cholesterol-reducing rates ranged from(3.30±0.89)%~(75.64±1.12)%,with the average rate of 44.34%. Among them,14 strains have higher cholesterol-reducing rate than average. Lb. plantarum S11 is the strain with the cholesterol-reducing rate as high as(75.64±1.12)%. It is indicated that only 0.002 mg of cholesterol is adsorbed and precipitated by 4.20×109 cfu/mL of Lb. plantarum S11 cells by determine the content of cholesterol in the suspension of the disrupted cells(only 1.30%). This results indicate that the cholesterol-reducing activity of Lb. plantarum S11 is achieved mainly by absorbing and assimilation,but not absorbing and incorporating in cell membrane.The screening and isolation methods in this study can be applied to select cholesterol-reducing probiotics from traditional fermented foods. And it is also helpful for follow-up development of new cholesterol-reducing lactobacilli fermented products.
