[Method] The effects of environmental factors (overlying water, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen concentration) on NH_4^+ release in sediment from Chaohu Lake were studied under controlled laboratory conditions. [Results] With the rising of temperature and the decrease of NH_4^+ concentration in overlying water, NH_4^+ released from sediment increased significantly. pH had a great effect on NH_4^+ release with a complicated mechanism. The largest release amount of NH_4^+ under anaerobic condition was about 6 times as much as that under aerobic condition. [Conclusion] This research would provide theoretical support for environmental management of Chaohu Lake in the project of leading water from the Yangtze River to Chaohu Lake.展开更多

Polypeptide release factor eRF3 consists of N-terminal variable region and C-terminal conserved part. C-terminal part of eRF3 is responsible for termination of the translation, In the present study, the C-terminal of Euplotes octocarinatus eRF3 （eRF3C） and truncate eRF3C lacking 76 amino acids in C-terminal （eRF3Ct） were expressed in Escherichia coll. The recombinant GST-eRF3C and GST-eRF3Ct polypeptides were purifled by affinity chromatography using glutathione Sepharose 4B column. After enzymatic cleavage of GST tail, the eRF3C and eRF3Ct protein were obtained. Pull-down analysis showed that the recombinant GST-eRF3C and GST-eRF3Ct polypeptides interacted with E. octocarinatus polypeptide chain release factor eRF1a. This result suggested that the C-terminal of eRF3 having 76 amino acids were not required for the binding of eRFla in Euplotes octocarinatus.展开更多
