The results showed that all three isozymes presented interspecific difference and distinct differentiation among individuals in the same population,and there was no electrophorectic difference between males and females. Analysis of relationships among three naked carps indicated a high degree of similarity between G. selincuoensis and G. cuoensis ,whereas low degree between G. selincuoensis and G. namensis . Furthermore,three isozymes presented expression of null alleles,and the duplicate genes of LDH A 2,LDH B 2,s MDH A 2 and m MDH B 2 also expressed in some individuals. Compared to other tetraploid fishes,three naked carps retained more functional duplicate genes and null alleles. This suggests fishes of genus Gymnocypris are at the early stage of evolution after polyploidization than that of fishes of Catostomidae,it directly related to the later time of schizothoracine fishes originate as well as severe environment.展开更多

In the present study, the purified GSra and GSrb from rice roots were used to immunize rabbits to obtain the respective antibodies. The immunodiffusion and immunoblotting experiments showed that the antibody against GSra or GSrb was specific for GS and its isozymes. The immunoprecipitation test indicated that the antibody of GSra or GSrb not only recognized its respective antigen, but also well recognized each other's antigen. GSra or GSrb antibody recognized also better cytosolic GS1 of rice leaves, but the recognization for chloroplast GS2 from rice or spinach (Spinacia oleracea Mill.) leaves was weaker. Our results indicate that GSra and GSrb from rice roots are quite similar in antigenicity and are extremely similar proteins and that both GSra and GSrb may also be a form of cytosolic GS just as the cytosolic GS1 of rice leaves.展开更多

METHODS: Obstructive jaundice was created in male rats by causing bile duct obstruction with polyester tape. In another group of rats, bile duct obstruction was followed by internal biliary drainage after releasing the tape. The expression of various CYP isozyme mRNAs was semi-quantitatively assessed by competitive RT- PCR. RESULTS: The total CYP content and microsomal MFO activity showed a significant decrease after biliary obstruction, but returned to respective control levels after biliary drainage. A marked reduction in the expression of CYP1A2, 2B1/2, 2C11, 2E1, 3A1, and 3A2 mRNA was detected during biliary obstruction, while expression increased significantly toward the control level after biliary drainage. Although expression of CYP4A1 mRNA showed no reduction during biliary obstruction, it still increased significantly after biliary drainage. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that not only obstructive jaundice, but also the subsequent internal biliary drainage may affect regulatory medications of the synthesis of individual CYP isozymes differently.展开更多

To study the characteristics of changes of LDH enzyme patterns of mice under slight hypoxia.Methods. Mice treated with artificial hypoxia, various tissues were made for the test of LDH enzymatic activity by the specific staining technique. LDH (1 -5) relative percentage enzymatic activity (RPEA) were measured with CS-910 dual-wavelength thin layer chromatography scanner.Results. The RPEA of LDH isozymes of various tissues after slight hypoxia shifted to the isozymes LDH1 and LDH2, whose principal subunits are H subunits, and the RPEA of LDH,(H4), LDH2(H3M) increased, while RPEA of LDH5(M4) in various tissues decreased prominently except the cardiac muscle, and that of LDH4(HM3) decreased as well. After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of the hypoxia treated cardiac muscle specimen was made, activity subbands originated regularly in the isozyme patterns of LDH, with the regularity of LDH1 (0 subband), LDH2 (0-1 subbands), LDH3 (0-2 subbands), LDH4 (1-3 subbands), LDH5 (2-4 subbands). After adding appropriate amount of NAD+ to the hypoxia treated cardiac muscle specimen, PAGE showed the subbands of four isozymes (LDH2-LDH5) reduced or even totally disappeared in the isozyme patterns.Conclusions. The negative feedback regulation of coenzymization and decoenzymization of LDH isozymes is one of the mouse stress responses to slight hypoxia.展开更多

Eighteen enzymes (G3PDH, LDH, MDH, MEP, IDHP, PGDH, GRS, NP, AAT, CK, AK, EST, ALP, ACP, FBP, MPI, GPI and PGM) show strong activities and good convergence in zymogram. They are proved to be suitable genetic markers in Sepia esculenta. Among the tissues used, mantle muscle is the best for electrophoretic analysis of isozymes. Eye and liver are fairly good for some special enzymes, such as LDH, EST, MPI, etc. Twenty six loci are detected. The proportion of polymorphic loci is 0.115 in the Qingdao sample and 0.153 in the Rizhao sample ( P < 0.99 ). The mean values of the observed and expected heterozygosity per locus of Qingdao sample are 0.016 and 0.017 , while those of the Rizhao sample are 0.023 and 0.025 respectively.展开更多

For the fourteen enzymes assayed, 31 loci were recorded. The results indicated that all the isozymes examined were obviously tissue-specific. The expressions of SOD＊, GDH＊, G3PDH-2＊ and ADH-2＊ were detected only in liver, SDH-1＊, MDH-1＊ and ADH-1＊ only in muscle, and LDH-B＊ and LDH-C＊ only in eyes. In comparison, MDH-2＊, GPI-3＊ and SDH-2＊ were detected in all tissues examined. Other loci examined were detected in a variety of tissues. Muscle and liver were selected to detect the isozyme variation of the two geographic stocks of Qingdao and Weihai, Shandong Province, China. The percentages of polymorphic loci （P0.99） were 29.17% and 25.00%, the observed heterozygosities （H0） were 0.028 ±0.014 and 0.040 ± 0.019, and the expected heterozygosities （He） were 0.039±0.017 and 0.052±0.022 in Qingdao and Wethai stock, respectively. The coefficient of gene differentiation （Fst） and genetic distance （D） between the two stocks was 0.012 and 0.0011, respectively, indicating that the genetic differentiation is low between them. Compared with other species of Pleuronectiformes, both the percentage of polymorphic loci and the mean heterozygosity ofK. Bicoloratus were at a middle level.展开更多

The result indicated that coconut milk and RE could promote proliferation and rootage, with their combined treatment the most effective. In proliferation culture, coconut milk enhanced peroxidase (POD) and esterase(EST) activity and types, RE decreased POD, but increased EST activity and types and combined treatment did not show the same influence on POD and EST too. In rootage culture, adding coconut milk decreased POD activity, but improved EST activity in 1/2MS medium and declined EST activity, expression type in WPM medium. when using RE, POD and EST activity both reduced, types of the former decreased, types of the latter changed slightly with the basic medium. And combined treatment would decreased POD activity and types.展开更多

The zymograms showh little variation in the number of isozymic loci expressed duringlarval development compared with results reported for other penaeid prawns. There were specific ontogenicpatterns at some loci. As larvae developed beyond the embryonic stage, there was tendency for intensityof staining and complexity of banding patterns to increase.
文摘The inhibitory effect of lead on the seed germination and seedling growth was obvi-ously seen in barley,sorghum and wheat.Their differential reactions on the lead solution werefound under the lead stress during the seed germination and seedling growth stages.Wheat ismore sensitive to lead than the other three plants.This can be used to select new crops which canresist lead damage.The changes of the peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase isozymes have beenfound in individual plants which was injured by a lead solution at the seedling and root develop-ment stages.The authors suggest that these isozymes,which have been changed in patterns andnumbers,may be adaptive isozymes.Adaptive isozymes are produced in plant tissue when plantsare in harmful environmental conditions.The change in environmental conditions influences theexpression of the gene which encode peroxidase,polyphenol oxidase isozymes,and promote forma-tion of the adaptive isozymes.
文摘Objective. To study the characteristics of changes of LDH enzyme patterns of mice under slight hypoxia.Methods. Mice treated with artificial hypoxia, various tissues were made for the test of LDH enzymatic activity by the specific staining technique. LDH (1 -5) relative percentage enzymatic activity (RPEA) were measured with CS-910 dual-wavelength thin layer chromatography scanner.Results. The RPEA of LDH isozymes of various tissues after slight hypoxia shifted to the isozymes LDH1 and LDH2, whose principal subunits are H subunits, and the RPEA of LDH,(H4), LDH2(H3M) increased, while RPEA of LDH5(M4) in various tissues decreased prominently except the cardiac muscle, and that of LDH4(HM3) decreased as well. After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of the hypoxia treated cardiac muscle specimen was made, activity subbands originated regularly in the isozyme patterns of LDH, with the regularity of LDH1 (0 subband), LDH2 (0-1 subbands), LDH3 (0-2 subbands), LDH4 (1-3 subbands), LDH5 (2-4 subbands). After adding appropriate amount of NAD+ to the hypoxia treated cardiac muscle specimen, PAGE showed the subbands of four isozymes (LDH2-LDH5) reduced or even totally disappeared in the isozyme patterns.Conclusions. The negative feedback regulation of coenzymization and decoenzymization of LDH isozymes is one of the mouse stress responses to slight hypoxia.

文摘Thirty nine isozymes in four tissues (mantle muscle, buccal bulb muscle, eye and liver) of Sepia esculenta were screened for enzymatic analysis using starch gel electrophoretic technique. Eighteen enzymes (G3PDH, LDH, MDH, MEP, IDHP, PGDH, GRS, NP, AAT, CK, AK, EST, ALP, ACP, FBP, MPI, GPI and PGM) show strong activities and good convergence in zymogram. They are proved to be suitable genetic markers in Sepia esculenta. Among the tissues used, mantle muscle is the best for electrophoretic analysis of isozymes. Eye and liver are fairly good for some special enzymes, such as LDH, EST, MPI, etc. Twenty six loci are detected. The proportion of polymorphic loci is 0.115 in the Qingdao sample and 0.153 in the Rizhao sample ( P < 0.99 ). The mean values of the observed and expected heterozygosity per locus of Qingdao sample are 0.016 and 0.017 , while those of the Rizhao sample are 0.023 and 0.025 respectively.
文摘The effects of iow temperature treatment on seedling growth and POD isozymeswere studied using hyacinth bean (Dolichos tablab L. )and Soybean[Glycine max(L. )Merr. ]culti-vars as experimental materials. Their seedtings were exposured to 1 - 4℃ low temperature for 4 days to inhibit growth. The changes of POD isozymes in roots and seedlings were observed after seedlings were exposured to 1 - 4℃ for 4-8 days. There was a significant linear relation between inhibition of seedling growth and change of POD isozymes in these two kinds of plants.
文摘Tissue expression and stock variation of isozymes of stone flounder （Kareius bicoloratus） were analyzed with horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. For the fourteen enzymes assayed, 31 loci were recorded. The results indicated that all the isozymes examined were obviously tissue-specific. The expressions of SOD＊, GDH＊, G3PDH-2＊ and ADH-2＊ were detected only in liver, SDH-1＊, MDH-1＊ and ADH-1＊ only in muscle, and LDH-B＊ and LDH-C＊ only in eyes. In comparison, MDH-2＊, GPI-3＊ and SDH-2＊ were detected in all tissues examined. Other loci examined were detected in a variety of tissues. Muscle and liver were selected to detect the isozyme variation of the two geographic stocks of Qingdao and Weihai, Shandong Province, China. The percentages of polymorphic loci （P0.99） were 29.17% and 25.00%, the observed heterozygosities （H0） were 0.028 ±0.014 and 0.040 ± 0.019, and the expected heterozygosities （He） were 0.039±0.017 and 0.052±0.022 in Qingdao and Wethai stock, respectively. The coefficient of gene differentiation （Fst） and genetic distance （D） between the two stocks was 0.012 and 0.0011, respectively, indicating that the genetic differentiation is low between them. Compared with other species of Pleuronectiformes, both the percentage of polymorphic loci and the mean heterozygosity ofK. Bicoloratus were at a middle level.

文摘In tissue culture, effects of coconut milk, rare earth and medium on proliferation, rootage and isozymes of Dendrobium were studied. The result indicated that coconut milk and RE could promote proliferation and rootage, with their combined treatment the most effective. In proliferation culture, coconut milk enhanced peroxidase (POD) and esterase(EST) activity and types, RE decreased POD, but increased EST activity and types and combined treatment did not show the same influence on POD and EST too. In rootage culture, adding coconut milk decreased POD activity, but improved EST activity in 1/2MS medium and declined EST activity, expression type in WPM medium. when using RE, POD and EST activity both reduced, types of the former decreased, types of the latter changed slightly with the basic medium. And combined treatment would decreased POD activity and types.

文摘Copper is an important ingredient in fungicides,which are used for many economic plants.However,there is concern about the side-effects of copper-based fungicides due to their potential to affect beneficial mites.The purpose of the present paper was to investigate the effects of copper on the development of the fruit fly,Drosophila melanogaster.It was found that higher doses of copper significantly prolonged the developmental time of the fruit flies,especially during the larval stages.When 320 mg L-1 copper-contaminated food was used,most of the larvae died when they were small and before the pupal stage.The protein contents and esterase isozymes extracted from the larvae changed according to the doses of copper.The small-molecular-weight protein bands gradually became weaker or were lost as the copper levels increased.However,low doses of copper stimulated a stronger expression of a few proteins.These results indicate that low doses of copper generally have no lethal effects on D.melanogaster because a specific group of genes,which encode specific proteins,are probably activated in order to withstand the onslaught of stressful conditions.At high doses of copper in food(e.g.320 mg L-1),fly development and viability are significantly affected.
