In this work, to improve the accuracy and reliability of prediction, the strategy of combining the above three computational approaches was applied to predict potential cytochrome P450 1A2 （CYP1A2） inhibitors. The accuracy of the optimal SVM qualitative model was 99.432%, 97.727%, and 91.667% for training set, internal test set and external test set, respectively, showing this model had high discrimination ability. The R2 and mean square error for the optimal SVR quantitative model were 0.763, 0.013 for training set, and 0.753, 0.056 for test set respectively, indicating that this SVR model has high predictive ability for the biolog-ical activities of compounds. According to the results of the SVM and SVR models, some types of descriptors were identi ed to be essential to bioactivity prediction of compounds, including the connectivity indices, constitutional descriptors and functional group counts. Moreover, molecular docking studies were used to reveal the binding poses and binding a n-ity of potential inhibitors interacting with CYP1A2. Wherein, the amino acids of THR124 and ASP320 could form key hydrogen bond interactions with active compounds. And the amino acids of ALA317 and GLY316 could form strong hydrophobic bond interactions with active compounds. The models obtained above were applied to discover potential CYP1A2 inhibitors from natural products, which could predict the CYPs-mediated drug-drug inter-actions and provide useful guidance and reference for rational drug combination therapy. A set of 20 potential CYP1A2 inhibitors were obtained. Part of the results was consistent with references, which further indicates the accuracy of these models and the reliability of this combinatorial computation strategy.展开更多

By employing RT-PCR method, full length cDNA of cotton delta-12 oleate desat- urase gene GhFAD2-1 containing an open reading frame of 1 158 bp was cloned for constructing RNAi vector. A 515 bp long specific fragment of this gene was se- lected for constructing ihpRNA vector under the control of a seed-specific promoter NAPIN, named pFGC1008-NAPIN-FAD2-1; meanwhile miRNA gene-silencing vector pCAMBIA1302-amiRNA-FAD2-1 targeting GhFAD2-1 was also constructed.展开更多
