Its three-dimensional structure has not been confirmed. hEC-SOD couldn′t be expressed in E.coli. We constructed a hybrid enzyme, which comprises the N-terminal and C-terminal domains from hEC-SOD, fused it to human Cu,Zn-SOD. The hybrid enzyme is expressed successfully in E.coli. Further, we analyzed the expression of hEC-SOD in E.coli by mRNA differential displaying.展开更多

But chromatography dissociates the GDH isoenzymes that synthesize nongenetic code-based RNA enzymes degrading superfluous mRNAs thereby aligning the cellular reactions with the environment of the organism. The aim was to electrophoretically purify human hexameric GDH isoenzymes and to characterize their RNA enzyme synthetic activity as in plants. The outcome could be innovative in chemical dependency diagnosis and management. Multi metrix electrophoresis including free solution isoelectric focusing, and through polyacrylamide and agarose gels were deployed to purify the redox cycle isoenzymes of laryngeal GDH, and to assay their RNA enzyme synthetic activities. The laryngeal GDH displayed the 28 binomial isoenzymes typical of higher organisms. Isoelectric focusing purification produced pure GDH. Redox cycle assays of the GDH isoenzymes produced RNA enzymes that degraded human stomach total RNA. In the reaction mechanism, the Schiff-base intermediate complex between α-ketoglutarate and GDH is the target of nucleophiles, resulting to the disruption of synthesis of glutamate, and RNA enzyme. The strongest nucleophiles are the psychoactive alkaloids of tobacco, cocaine, opium poppy, cannabis smoke because they are capable of reacting with GDH Schiff base intermediate to stimulate synthesis of aberrant RNA enzymes that degrade cohorts of mRNAs thereby changing the biochemical pathways and exacerbating drug overdose and chemical dependency. Electrophoretic purification, and characterization of the RNA enzyme synthetic activity set the forecourt for innovative application of GDH redox cycles in the diagnostic management of chemical dependency.展开更多

文摘目的:研究绿茶水提物对大鼠细胞色素P450(CYP450)酶活力和m RNA表达的影响。方法:SD大鼠随机分组,连续灌胃绿茶水提物或水14 d后,同时给予探针药非那西丁、安非他酮、甲苯磺丁脲和咪达唑仑,采用液相色谱-质谱联用技术(液质联用)测定给药后不同时间点血药浓度,计算药动学参数进而推测CYP1A2、CYP2B1、CYP2C11和CYP3A1酶活力。此外,采用实时荧光定量PCR(real-time PCR,RT-PCR)技术测定CYP450的m RNA表达水平。结果:实验组大鼠安非他酮与甲苯磺丁脲的药动学参数与对照组相比差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),推测绿茶水提物能诱导大鼠CYP2B1酶活力和抑制CYP2C11,而非那西丁与咪达唑仑参数比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。RT-PCR实验发现,绿茶水提物能显著上调大鼠CYP2B1 m RNA水平并下调CYP2C11 m RNA水平,对CYP1A2与CYP3A1没有影响。结论:持续摄取绿茶会改变CYP2B1与CYP2C11酶活力和m RNA表达水平,可能会引起药物相互作用的发生。
