To gain an overall picture of the evolution of MYB genes in relict plants, we cloned nine novel MYB genes in Taxodiaceae plants ( Taxodium distichum, Taxodium ascendens, Cryptomeria japonica var. Sinensis, Cryptomeria japonica cv. Araucarioides, Cryptomer Ja- ponica, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Cunninghamia lanceolata, Tai- wania cryptomerioides and Glyptostrobus pensilis). The deduced amino acid sequences for MYBs showed that the nine MYB proteins contained two DNA binding domains. The first domain is from amino acid position 29 to 78, wherein three tryptophanes at 33, 53 and 73 were separated by 19 amino acids, respectively. The second domain is from amino acid position 82 to 127, wherein three tryptophanes at 86, 105 and 124 were separated by 18 amino acids, respectively, whereas the first tryptophane at amino acid position 86 is replaced by a phenylalanine. The characteri- zation of these conserved domains at nine MYBs indicated that they all belong to the R2R3-MYB group. The secondary structure analysis showed that a-helix and 13-turn are the major motifs of the predicted secondary structure of MYBs. The three dimensional model of each MYB protein showed that the structure is like clip, making it more flexi- ble and mobile. The similarities between the nine MYB proteins in Taxodiaceae were calculated. The highest identical value of 99% is be- tween CjsMYB, CjMYB and CjaMYB, whereas the lowest value of 82% is between TaMYB and C1MYB. According to the phylogenetic tree, the distances between different genera were relatively large whereas those within genera were relatively small. As expected, accessions of the same genus formed a subgroup before being grouped with other genera.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction of all the three samples showed sharp Bragg peaks indicating the formation of a single phase spinel structure. The lattice parameters of the samples were determined from the X-ray diffraction data using the Nelson-Riley extrapolation method. The lattice parameters, cation distribution and oxygen position parameters have also been determined by refining the data by the Rietveld method. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data reveals all the samples to possess cubic symmetry corresponding to the space group Fd3m. Lattice parameters were found to decrease with increasing Al concentration, i.e. 8.4322, 8.4002, and 8.3984 Åfor x = 0.0, 0.2 and 0.4, respectively.展开更多

In ...In the SU(3) simple group model, the new neutral gauge boson Z' couples to pairs of SM fermions with couplings fixed in terms of the SM gauge couplings and depending only on the choice of the fermion embedding. In this paper, we calculate the contributions of this new particle to the processes e^+e^-→l^+l^-, bb^-, and cc^- and study the possibility of detecting this new particle via these processes in the future high-energy linear e^+e^- collider(LC) experiments with √s= 500 GeV and £int= 340 fb^-1. We find that the new gauge boson Z' is most sensitive to the process e^+e^-→b^+b^-. As long as Mz,≤2 TeV , the absolute values of the relative correction parameter are larger than 5%. We calculate the forward-backward asymmetries and left-right asymmetries for the process e^+e^-→c^+c^-, with both the universal and anomaly-free fermion embeddings. Bounds on Z' masses are also estimated within 95% confidence level.展开更多

Methods: The main components of CSCC were analyzed by hybrid ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography ion mobility spectromety quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-IM-QTOF/MS). Twenty-four male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=6) by using a computer algorithm-generated random digital, including control, DSS model, mesalazine, and CSCC groups. A DSS-induced colitis mice model was established to determine the effects of CSCC by recording colonic weight, colonic length, index of colonic weight, and histological colonic score. The variations in ILC3s were assessed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The results of gut microbiota and SCFAs were acquired by 16s r DNA and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) analysis. The expression levels of NCR^(+)ILC3^(-), CCR6^(+)Nkp46-(Lti) ILC3^(-), and ILCreg-specific markers were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. Results: The main components of CSCC were matrine, ammothamnine, Sophora flavescens neoalcohol J, and Sophora oxytol U. After 7 days of treatment, CSCC significantly alleviated colitis by promoting the reproduction of intestinal probiotics manifested as upregulation of the abundance of Bacteroidetes species and specifically the Bacteroidales_S24-7 genus(P<0.05). Among the SCFAs, the content of butyric acid increased the most after CSCC treatment. Meanwhile, compared with the model group, Lti ILC3s and its biomarkers were significantly downregulated and NCR^(+) ILC3s were significantly elevated in the CSCC group(P<0.01). Further experiments revealed that ILC3s were differentiated from Lti ILC3s to NCR^(+)ILC3s, resulting in interleukin-22 production which regulates gut epithelial barrier function. Conclusion: CSCC may exert a therapeutic effect on UC by improving the gut microbiota, promoting metabolite butyric acid production, and managing the ratio between NCR^(+)ILC3s and Lti ILC3s.展开更多

文摘OX40L is one of the co-stimulatory molecules that can be expressed by splenic lymphoid tissue inducer(Lti)cells,a subset of group 3 innate lymphoid cells(ILC3s).OX40L expression in subsets of intestinal ILC3s and the molecular regulation of OX40L expression in ILC3s are unknown.Here,we showed intestinal ILC3s marked as an OX40L high population among all the intestinal leukocytes and were the dominant source of OX40L in Rag1–/–mice.All ILC3 subsets expressed OX40L,and NCR–ILC3s were the most abundant source of OX40L.The expression of OX40L in ILC3s could be upregulated during inflammation.In addition to tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-like cytokine 1A(TL1A),which has been known as a trigger for OX40L,we found that Poly(I:C)representing viral stimulus promoted OX40L expression in ILC3s via a cell-autonomous manner.Furthermore,we demonstrated that IL-7-STAT5 signaling sustained OX40L expression by ILC3s.Intestinal regulatory T cells(Tregs),most of which expressed OX40,had defective expansion in chimeric mice,in which ILC3s were specifically deficient for OX40L expression.Consistently,co-localization of Tregs and ILC3s was found in the cryptopatches of the intestine,which suggests the close interaction between ILC3s and Tregs.Our study has unveiled the crosstalk between Tregs and ILC3s in mucosal tissues through OX40–OX40L signaling,which is crucial for the homeostasis of intestinal Tregs.

文摘Objective: To investigate the effects of composite Sophora colon-soluble Capsule(CSCC) on gut microbiota-mediated short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs) production and downstream group 3 innate lymphoid cells(ILC3s) of dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis(UC) mice model. Methods: The main components of CSCC were analyzed by hybrid ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography ion mobility spectromety quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-IM-QTOF/MS). Twenty-four male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=6) by using a computer algorithm-generated random digital, including control, DSS model, mesalazine, and CSCC groups. A DSS-induced colitis mice model was established to determine the effects of CSCC by recording colonic weight, colonic length, index of colonic weight, and histological colonic score. The variations in ILC3s were assessed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The results of gut microbiota and SCFAs were acquired by 16s r DNA and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) analysis. The expression levels of NCR^(+)ILC3^(-), CCR6^(+)Nkp46-(Lti) ILC3^(-), and ILCreg-specific markers were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. Results: The main components of CSCC were matrine, ammothamnine, Sophora flavescens neoalcohol J, and Sophora oxytol U. After 7 days of treatment, CSCC significantly alleviated colitis by promoting the reproduction of intestinal probiotics manifested as upregulation of the abundance of Bacteroidetes species and specifically the Bacteroidales_S24-7 genus(P<0.05). Among the SCFAs, the content of butyric acid increased the most after CSCC treatment. Meanwhile, compared with the model group, Lti ILC3s and its biomarkers were significantly downregulated and NCR^(+) ILC3s were significantly elevated in the CSCC group(P<0.01). Further experiments revealed that ILC3s were differentiated from Lti ILC3s to NCR^(+)ILC3s, resulting in interleukin-22 production which regulates gut epithelial barrier function. Conclusion: CSCC may exert a therapeutic effect on UC by improving the gut microbiota, promoting metabolite butyric acid production, and managing the ratio between NCR^(+)ILC3s and Lti ILC3s.

文摘Spectroscopic study of water splitting by neutral metal clusters is crucial to understanding the microscopic mechanism of catalytic processes but has been proven to be a challenging experimental target due to the difficulty in size selection.Here,we report a size-specific infrared spectroscopic study of the reactions between neutral group 3 metals and water molecules based on threshold photoionization using a vacuum ultraviolet laser.Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to identify the structures and to assign the experimental spectra.All the M_(2)O_(4)H_(4)(M=Sc,Y,La)products are found to have the intriguing M_(2)(μ_(2)-O)(μ_(2)-H)(μ_(2)-OH)(η^(1)-OH)_(2) structures,indicating that the H-OH bond breaking,the M-O/M-H/M-OH bond formation,and hydrogen production proceed efficiently in the reactions between laser-vaporized metals and water molecules.The joint experimental and theoretical results on the atomic scale demonstrate that the water splitting by neutral group 3 metals is both thermodynamically exothermic and kinetically facile in the gas phase.These findings have important implications for unravelling the structure-reactivity relationship of catalysts with isolated metal atoms/clusters dispersed on supports.

文摘This paper proposes an Equivariant Filtering(EqF)framework for the inertial-integrated state estimation.As the kin-ematic system of the inertial-integrated navigation can be naturally modeled on the matrix Lie group SE_(2)(3),the sym-metry of the Lie group can be exploited to design an equivariant filter which extends the invariant extended Kalman filtering on the group-affine system and overcomes the inconsitency issue of the traditional extend Kalman filter.We firstly formulate the inertial-integrated dynamics as the group-affine systems.Then,we prove the left equivariant properties of the inertial-integrated dynamics.Finally,we design an equivariant filtering framework on the earth-centered earth-fixed frame and the local geodetic navigation frame.The experiments show the superiority of the proposed filters when confronting large misalignment angles in Global Navigation Satellite Navigation(GNSS)/Inertial Navigation System(INS)loosely integrated navigation experiments.
文摘We aim to study maximal pairwise commuting sets of 3-transpositions(transvections)of the simple unitary group U_(n)(2)over GF(4),and to construct designs from these sets.Any maximal set of pairwise commuting 3-transpositions is called a basic set of transpositions.Let G=U_(n)(2).It is well known that G is a 3-transposition group with the set D,the conjugacy class consisting of its transvections,as the set of 3-transpositions.Let L be a set of basic transpositions in D.We give general descriptions of L and 1-(ν,κ,λ)designs D=(P,B),with P=D and B={L^(9)|g∈G}.The parameters k=|L|,λ and further properties of D are determined.We also,as examples,apply the method to the unitary simple groups U_(4)(2),U_(5)(2),U_(6)(2),U_(7)(2),U_(8)(2)and U_(9)(2).
