The Mu phage is one of the most classical Myoviridae. Although it is well known as a mobile genetic element, the details of its morphogenesis remain unclear. Analysis of conditional lethal mutants and genome analysis of the Mu phage have suggested that genes 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, and 48 are essential for its baseplate assembly. Since we have already reported X-ray structures of the products of genes 44 (gp44) and 45 (gp45), we here tried to purify the remaining Mu phage baseplate subunits, gp42, gp43, gp46, gp47, and gp48, to investigate the baseplate assembly process. In the case of gp42 expression, the transformed E. coli cells showed growth inhibition after induction and no gp42 fractions were observed. However, gp43, gp46, gp47, and gp48 were successfully expressed and purified, although gp48 could not be applied to further analysis, because the amount of soluble fraction was very low. Based on analytical ultracentrifugation, we concluded that gp43 formed a monomer, gp46 was a monomer, and gp47 occurred as both a monomer and dimer in solution. Moreover, we found that gp43 and gp45 formed an intermediate complex in the baseplate assembly process.展开更多

The reconstruction of bare rock area arbor-shrub-grass ecosystems is a global environmental science problem. Paying attention to Geological conditions with rich rock fissures and abundant groundwater in these fissures, following the idea to reconstruct ecosystem from arbor to shrub and grass and the principle one tree in a baseplate, authors develop a baseplate technique for tree planting in bare rock area. The baseplate includes the parent body, the root, and the cover to prevent evaporation. Especially, there are filled in nutritional soil for the parent body and the root, and the composition of nutritional soil are selected by test in laboratory, while optimal mix ratio of the composition is obtained. Then, application method in field is put forward. The technique can guarantee survival at early stage and growth in the later for tree planting in the baseplate. In particular, the root provides a good channel to guide tree roots into fissure rock and absorb groundwater in rock. Test in field shows that the baseplate technique has strong practicality in vegetation recovery of bare rock area. Test in field shows that the baseplate technique has strong practicality in vegetation recovery of bare rock area in the world.展开更多
