Chorismic acid is a mid-metabolite that plays a central role in the metablism process distributing in the bacterium, epiphyte and plants. It is a common precursor substance of the all aromatic amino acids that can turn into phenylalanine and tyrosine catalyzed by bi-functional enzyme chorismate mutase (CM)-prephenate dehydratase (PDT) and chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydrogenase (PDH) respectively. CMp-PDT with its regulate domain Rp were called P-protein and CMt-PDH with its regulate domain Rt were called T-protein. P-protein and T-protein from E. coli. have a similar structure, both of which contained three domains: CMp, PDT, Rp in P-protein and CMt, PDH, Rt in T-protein. P-protein and T-protein are regulated by their effectors phenylalanine and tyrosine respectively through binding to their Rp and Rt domains. Rp and Rt domains were switched between P-protein and T-protein by cloning of chimeric proteins. The results showed that regulatory effects were switched along the switch of R domains and the switch of the regulatory domains lead to the switch of effectors. It means that the combination of the regulatory domain and the effector is specific and the regulating of the regulatory domain to the enzyme activity is non-specific. This property of R domains may make them possible molecular elements in the study of molecular machines.

AlM: To research the characteristics of positive relative accommodation ( PRA) , negative relative accommodation (NRA) and PRA/NRA ratio in myopes. To analyze the relationship among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree, years and habbits of wearing glasses, myopia development, and pupil diameter.METHODS: Aretrospective study of ninety eyes in the 180 th Hospital of Quanzhou from August 2014 to December 2014. PRA, NRA and PRA/NRA ratio were compared among low, moderate, high myopes and emmetropes. The correlation were analyzed among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree, years and habbits of wearing glasses, myopia development and pupil diameter. PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, years and habbits of wearing glasses and pupil diameter were compared between progress group and non-progress group.RESULTS: ( 1 ) Without statistical differences in age, sex and intraocular pressure, PRA and PRA/NRA ratio of myopes were lower than emmetropes, while NRA was higher. (2) Without statistical differences in age, sex and intraocular pressure, PRA, PRA/NRA ratio and NRA had no statistical differences while years and habbits of wearing glasses had statistical differences among low, moderate, high myopes. ( 3 ) With longer years of wearing glasses, PRA, PRA/NRA ratio were larger and NRA, pupils were smaller. ( 4 ) Without statistical differences in age, diopter and intraocular pressure, one group which were not easy to deepen degree had more often-wear-glasses myopia patiens and longer years of wearing glasses, the other group which were easy to deepen degree had more seldom-wear-glasses myopia patiens and shorter years of wearing glasses.CONCLUSlON: PRA and PRA/NRA ratio of myopes were lower than emmetropes, while NRA was higher. No correlated relation was detected among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree and myopia development. lt suggests the onset and progress of myopia are related to many factors. Wearing-glass timely and accurately can release the decline of PRA and PRA/NRA ratio and slow down degree development in myopes.

AIMTo clone the gene of staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 and express it in the form of a soluble fusion protein in E. coli. Then the activation of SEC2 on mice lymphocyte and its lethal effects on tumor cells were studied.

METHODSStaphylococcus aureus SEC2 gene was cloned into GST gene fusion vector pGEX-4T-1. The resultant plasmid pGEX-4T-SEC2 was used to transform E. coli BL21, where the GST-SEC2 fusion protein was expressed efficiently. The rSEC2 protein was purified with Glutathione Sepharose 4B affinity column and digested with thrombin. The in vitro culture system was utilized to observe the activation of the SEC2 on mice lymphocyte and the lethal effects on tumor cells of the activated mice lymphocyte.

RESULTSThe proper gene of SEC2 was cloned and purified rSEC2 was obtained. The MTT results indicated that rSEC2 have strong ability to stimulate mice lymphocyte to proliferate with a dose-dependent manner. With the proliferation of mice splenic lymphocyte, rSEC2 has a strong lethal effect on tumor cells B16, K562 and K562-AD.

CONCLUSIONIn this study, the gene of SEC2 was cloned and the rSEC2 protein was obtained, which had strong lethal effect on tumor cells B16, K562 and K562-AD.

The filtrate of Staphylococcus aureus culture has been used in an ampule form named as staphylococcal enterotoxin C injection for cancer therapy in clinic for ten years in China and proved to be effective. The active constituent of three kinds of injections is claimed to be staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 (SEC2), and the content of SEC2 is used as quality control. However, the correct content of SEC2 was not known and the relative amount of SEC2 was very low because of the complicated components of the filtrate. In this research, we established a proper ELISA system for the detection of SEC2 in staphylococcal enterotoxin C injection, which will improve the quality control of the injection. We produced and identified polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies of SEC2 and established BA-ELISA method based on the method of sandwich ELISA. It was found that the BA-ELISA method had good specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility, and being able to detect SEC2 at concentration from 2 to 20 ng x mL(-1), with an average CV value of 5.08%. The SEC2 content in staphylococcal enterotoxin C injection was calculated. There is some difference between the actual and labeled contents in the injections.
