2.Purification of Trypsin by Using AOT/Isooctane Reverse Micellar Extraction and Overcoming Denaturation and Precipitation in the Process
China Biotechnology 2006;0(01):-
Trypsin was purified from crude material of pig pancreas by AOT/isooctane reversed micellar system.The influence of the main operating parameters such as ethanol concentration in forward and backward extraction,pH,KCl and AOT concentration,temperature were investigated.Forward and backward extraction recovery of trypsin reached almost 90% and neared 100%,respectively.Finally,about 88% of total yield was obtained,and the specific activity of trypsin was increased to over 1800U/mg with purification factor of 5 folds more.In AOT-isooctane reverse micellar extraction system,denaturation or precipitation of proteins always occured due to strong electrostatic interaction between AOT-proteins molecules.It had been resolved by adding ethanol into reverse micellar system,and no denaturation was observed.Otherwise,the phase separation time was shortened significantly because of ethanol added.It was only 10 minutes or less to reach phases separation after forward and backward extraction.If this method can be applied in industry,efficiency will be greatly improved.

China Biotechnology 2006;0(03):-
The purification of kallikrein using CTAB/hexanol/octane reverse micelles extraction has been studied and optimized,under various aqueous pH values, ionic strength and species, CTAB concentration and co-surfactant concentration. The result shows that the extraction efficiency approaches 100%, and the activity recovery is more than 80%, the commercial enzyme specific activity is increased by 1.97 times and the crude enzyme activity is increased by 7.15 times, which from 31U/mg to 219U/mg,under the conditions of[CTAB]=0.02 mol/L, hexanol/octane (V/V)=1∶5, pH=9.0 and[KBr]=0.1 mol/L in forward extraction, pH=7.0 ,[KBr]=1.5 mol/L and 15% ethanol(V/V) in backward extraction. The result of purified kallikrein is examined by the SDS-PAGE analysis. Reverse micelles extraction is a potential technique for the application in the downstream biotechnological processes.

Guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) is an interferon induced protein, that belongs to the guany late-binding protein family. GBP1 is widely involved in anti-infection immune responses, anti-tumor activity and various biological reactions. Recent studies have proved that IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IFN-gamma, IL1alpha, IL1beta, TNF-alpha and LPS can induce GBP1 expression; hence, the diverse biological functions of GBP1 have been gradually deduced and exploited. Many studies have been performed over recent years to understand the exact mechanisms that underlie the anti-infection and anti-tumor properties of GBP1. This review describes the molecular structure, biological activity, anti-infective properties and other functions of GBP1, in order to provide insights into the divergent roles of GBP1 in the regulation of various biological processes.

This present work is to study the chemical constituents of Swertia angustifolia. The whole plants of air-dried Swertia angustifolia was extracted with 90% EtOH. The water extract was suspended in H2O and extracted with petroleum ether, EtOAc and nBuOH, successively. The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography from the EtOAc fraction, and identified based on spectral analyses (MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR). Fourteen compounds were isolated and characterized as 1, 8-dihydroxy-3, 7-dimethoxyxanthone (1), 1, 8-dihydroxy-3, 5, 7-trimethoxyxanthone (2), 7-hydroxy-3, 8-dimethoxyxanthone-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), 8-0-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-6) -β-D-glucopyranosyl] -1, 7-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone (4), (+) -syringaresinol (5), ferulic acid (6), trans-coniferyl aldehyde (7), sinapaldehyde (8), trans-coniferyl alcohol (9), 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (10), 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (11), isophthalic acid (12), 2-furoic acid (13), and 2-methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone(14).

RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) belong to pattern recognition receptors, which perform significant roles in antiviral responses. RLRs can initiate a cascade of signaling transduction that induces the production of type I interferon and activates the interferon signaling pathway, ultimately resulting in antiviral responses. In the course of evolution, viruses have been constantly counteracting host immune systems to facilitate their own survival and replication, and have developed a set of antagonistic strategies. These mainly comprise elusion, disguise and attack strategies to eliminate the activation of RLRs. In virus-infected cells, RLRs recognize viral RNA and then induce antiviral responses. A better understanding of viral antagonistic strategies against RLRs will provide insights into the development of new antiviral medicines. This mini-review concludes that there are three main antagonistic strategies by which RNA viruses can counteract the activation of the RLRs pathway. It aims to provide references and insights for similar studies on viral antagonism in an array of RNA viruses.
