Abstract

AIM: To study the chemical constituents of the seeds of Ziziphus jujuba Mill var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex. H.F. Chou. METHODS: To separate the constituents by using various kinds of chromatography methods and identify their structures on the basis of spectral analysis. RESULTS: Seven compounds were isolated. Their structures were established as jujuboside E (1), jujuboside B (2), jujuboside A (3), betulic acid (4), stearic acid (5), sucrose (6) and inosine (7). CONCLUSION: Compound 1 is a new compound named jujuboside E. Compounds 5, 6, 7 were isolated for the first time from this plant.

Nanopore sequencing to detect A-to-I editing sites.

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, mediated by the ADAR family of enzymes, is pervasive in metazoans and functions as an important mechanism to diversify the proteome and control gene expression. Over the years, there have been multiple efforts to comprehensively map the editing landscape in different organisms and in different disease states. As inosine (I) is recognized largely as guanosine (G) by cellular machineries including the reverse transcriptase, editing sites can be detected as A-to-G changes during sequencing of complementary DNA (cDNA). However, such an approach is indirect and can be confounded by genomic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and DNA mutations. Moreover, past studies rely primarily on the Illumina platform, which generates short sequencing reads that can be challenging to map. Recently, nanopore direct RNA sequencing has emerged as a powerful technology to address the issues. Here, we describe the use of the technology together with deep learning models that we have developed, named Dinopore (Detection of inosine with nanopore sequencing), to interrogate the A-to-I editome of any organism.

Purification and characterization of purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Proteus vulgaris.

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase was isolated and purified from cell extracts of Proteus vulgaris recovered from spoiling cod fish (Gadus morhua). The molecular weight and isoelectric point of the enzyme were 120,000 +/- 2,000 and pH 6.8. The Michaelis constant for inosine as substrate was 3.9 x 10(-5). Guanosine also served as a substrate (Km = 2.9 x 10(-5). However, the enzyme was incapable of phosphorylizing adenosine. Adenosine proved to be useful as a competitive inhibitor and was used as a ligand for affinity chromatography of purine nucleoside phosphorylase following initial purification steps of gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography.
