Abstract:Abstract:Theraputic glycoprotein is increasingly important for human health with new developments of the recombinant DNA technology and the protein glycosylation theory．Most glycoproteins are produced in mammalian cells with high cost and low yield as the bottleneck in production． Bacterial expression systerm is important but rather diffcult by the restriction of both theory and technology． Therefore，yeast glycoprotein expression systems have been established，and they are of the utmost importance． This review summarized N-linked glycosylation processes of the different expression systems and genetic engineering of the glycosylation pathways to“humanized”glycoproteins．

Abstract:Abstract:［Objective］We explored the composition and diversity of archaea in a cold sulfur spring water in Xinjiang earthquake fault zone．［Methods］Environmental total DNA was extracted directly with enzymatic lysis method from a cold sulfur spring water． We constructed clone library of 16S rRNA gene amplified with archaeal-specific primers． A total of 115 positive clones were selected randomly from the library and identified by restriction length polymorphism(RFLP) with enzyme Alu I and Afa I．The unique RFLP patterns corresponded clones were selected for sequencing，BLAS alignment and constructing 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic tree．［Results］ In total，44 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were determined from the library． BLAST and phylogenetic analysis indicated that these OTUs were affiliated with Euryarchaeota (94.78%) and Thaumarchaeota (4.35%)．Only one Thaumarchaeotal clone was detected and most related to the genus Nitrosopumilus with 93% similarity． Euryarchaeotal clones were abundant and diverse．Of them，42.61% of clones belonged to RC-V cluster; 13.91% of clones，20.87% of clones were classified into LDS cluster and Methanomicrobiales respectively; 4.35% of clones had high similarity with ANME-1a-FW，which were involved in Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM)．In addition，we also detected some (13.05%) unknown Euryarchaeotal clones．Conclusion］ Euryarchaeota in the environment were diverse，and possibly with a large fraction of potential novel species．

Abstract:Abstract:［Objective］To identify the transcriptional regulation of exosporium basal layer structural gene exsB in Bacillus thuringiensis．［Methods］We analyzed exsB and its promoter sequence in Bacillus cereus group by sequence alignment．We performed beta-galactosidase assay of exsB-lacZ gene fusion to analyze transcriptional activation of exsB promoter; we used Electrophoretic mobility shift assays to detect binding of GerE and exsB promoter． ［Results］ exsB was the high similarity in Bacillus cereus group strains． Beta-galactosidase assay showed that exsB promoter had the strong transcriptional activation on the late sporulation phase．Deletion of gerE or sigK gene decreased the activation of exsB promoter．Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that GerE could bind with exsB promoter． ［Conclusion］The exsB gene is regulated by SigmaK and GerE on the late sporulation phase．

Abstract:Abstract:［Objective］By analyzing the function and mechanism of nitric oxide in initiating producing lignin peroxidases by phanerochaete chrysosporium，we studied the regulation mechanism triggering the secondary metabolism of white-rot fungi．［Methods］Mutant (pcR5305) and wild-type (pc530) strains of phanerochaete chrysosporium were respectively cultured under both the conditions of nitrogen limitation and nitrogen sufficiency． To compare their lignin peroxidases (LiP)-production and nitric oxide(NO)-production kinetics and their different influences on producing LiP after the NO donor Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP) and scavenger cPTIO were respectively added to the nitrogen limitation or sufficiency culture medium to show the function and mechanism of nitric oxide in initiating production of lignin peroxidases by whiterot fungi．［Results］Both strains produced nitric oxide (NO) under the two opposite nutritional conditions，but the levels of NO produced were related with the type of strain and the nutritional conditions．Strain pc530 produced NO requiring nutrition depletion and producing of NO was strongly delayed and reduced when it was cultured under nitrogen sufficiency condition．On the contrary，pcR5305 did not require nitrogen depletion to trigger and the levels of NO were higher than that of pc530． The results indicate that LiP content had positive correlation with NO value except the occurrence time of LiP peak value was later than that of NO． The ability of producing LiP was promoted after the NO donor SNP added，but SNP affected more on pc530 than pcR5305 in promoting producing LiP． 15mM cPTIO would greatly repress producing LiP，but could not completely restrain the synthesis of LiP for both strains.［Conclusion］ By producing NO，Phanerochaete chrysosporium triggers LiP synthesis． However，the evidences do not indicate that NO participates or effect directly in LiP synthesis．It is more likely that NO is reacting as an upstream signal molecule． Besides NO，there are other signal molecules that have a positive effect on NO levels also involving in the regulation producing LiP． The mechanism of the resistance to nutritional repression of pcR5305 in synthesizing lignin degrading peroxidases may be the answer to the different NO production mechanism of pcR5305 from pc530.

Abstract:Abstract:［Objective］ Autoinducer 2 (AI-2)，used to communicate among bacterial species，regulates numerous physiological functions of bacteria． In this study，we studied the effect of AI-2 on adherence and invasion of Riemerella antatipestifer (RA) strain CH3 to Vero cells and transcriptional levels of virulence-related and metabolism-related genes were investigated．［Methods］To verify whether the adherence and invasion of CH3 was affected by AI-2，we added different concentrations of AI-2 to the cocultures of Vero cells and CH3 and then calculated adherence percentages and invasion percentages of tested groups．We further added AI-2 (184.0μmol/L) to the tryptone soya broth culture of CH3 and then detected the effect of transcriptional levels of related genes of CH3 using real-time PCR．［Results］The adherence of CH3 to Vero cells was decreased most to 62% with 18. 4μmol/L AI-2 and the invasion of CH3 to Vero cells was increased most to 194% with 184.0μmol/L AI-2．The result of real-time PCR shows that AI-2 increased transcriptional levels of some virulence-related genes and decreased transcriptional levels of some metabolism-related genes．［Conclusion］These results suggest that AI-2 affected adherence and invasion of CH3 to Vero cells．Moreover，AI-2 could regulate some genes of CH3 to modulate particular physiological behaviors．
