摘要：Nanocrystalline cellulose is an amphiphilic, high surface area material that can be easily functionalized and is biocompatible and eco-friendly. It has been used singularly and in combination with other nanomaterials to optimize biosensor design. The attachment of peptides and proteins to nanocrystalline cellulose and their proven retention of activity provide a route to bioactive conjugates useful in designs for point of care biosensors. Elastase is a biomarker for a number of inflammatory diseases including chronic wounds, and its rapid sensitive detection with a facile approach to sensing is of interest. An increased interest in the use of elastase sensors for point of care diagnosis is resulting in a variety of approaches to elsastase sensors utilizing different detection technologies. Here elastase substrate peptide-celluose conjugates synthesized as colorimetric and fluorescent sensors on cotton cellulose nanocrystals are compared. The structure of the sensor peptide-nanocellulose crystals when modeled with computational crystal structure parameters demonstrates the spatio-stoichiometric features of the nanocrystalline surface that allows ligand to active site protease interacttion. An understanding of the structure/function relations of enzyme and conjugate substrate of the peptides covalently attached to nancellulose has implications for enhancing the biomolecular transducer. The potential applications of both fluorescent and colorimetric detection to markers like elastase using peptide cotton cellulose nanocrystals as a transducer surface to model point of care biosensors for protease detection are discussed.

摘要：[目的]确定OsWRKY78蛋白在植物中的定位。[方法]根据GenBank数据库中OsWRKY78全序列设计引物,进行OsWRKY78的RT-PCR扩增,克隆了OsWRKY78基因,将该片段与带绿色荧光蛋白(GFP) 基因的质粒载体pBinGFP重组,并对重组载体进行菌液PCR和酶切验证,最后利用农杆菌介导的花蕾浸泡法将重组载体转化到拟南芥中,对其亚细胞定为进行研究。[结果]试验克隆得到了pBinGFP-OsWRKY78重组载体,经菌落PCR与酶切检测表明构建的表达载体正确,其转化到拟南芥中后得到了转基因植株,荧光显微镜检测结果表明,OsWRKY78基因表达产物主要定位在细胞核中。[结论]该研究结果为深入研究OsWRKY78基因的功能及其在相关信号传导中的作用奠定了基础,也为进一步研究OsWRKY78基因与褐飞虱之间的关系提供了理论依据。
