Recently,peptide drugs have evolved into mainstream therapeutics,representing a significant portion of the pharmaceutical market.However,their bioavailability remains to be improved compared with that of chemical drugs.Here,we screened and identified a new peptide,Ctry2459,from a scorpion venom peptide library that was proven to inhibit hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection via inactivating infectious viral particles.However,Ctry2459 cannot suppress established infection of HCV because of the poor cellular uptake and restriction of endosomes.Based on the molecular template of the Ctry2459 peptide,we designed two histidine-rich peptides (Ctry2459-H2 and Ctry2459-H3) with significantly enhanced cellular uptake and improved intracellular distribution.Moreover,the two mutated peptides,as well as the wild-type peptide Ctry2459,exhibited virucidal activities against HCV.In distinct contrast to the Ctry2459 peptide,the mutated peptides significantly suppressed the established HCV infection at the cellular level but demonstrated lower cytotoxic and hemolytic activities.Our work presents an effective design strategy for optimizing natural antiviral peptides and opens a new avenue for enhancing the bioavailability of peptide drugs.

水稻是我国乃至世界人民的主食,其高产稳产是维系国家粮食安全的重要保障,而优良株型是水稻获得高产的关键.已报道的水稻理想株型模式都要求后期功能叶夹角较小且挺直,这样利于植株提高光合效率和增加产量.本研究对来源于泰国香籼"Khao Dawk Mali105"辐射诱变产生的一份叶夹角变小、叶片短而直的突变体进行了植物激素敏感性试验和基因定位分析.结果表明,突变体SER的株型在整个生育期中表现为前期较披散
香米具有很高的市场价值,其中香味是评价稻米商业价值的重要指标之一,因此水稻香味的遗传机制研究和香稻新品种选育日益受到重视.从引进的水稻种质资源中鉴定筛选出优质香型水稻品种象牙香占做育种亲本,但其香味的分子遗传机制尚不清楚.因此,本研究用象牙香占做亲本,分别与航2号、蜀恢881和桂朝2号进行杂交,建立相应的F2遗传分离群体研究象牙香占香味性状的遗传特性,应用SSR标记技术对象牙香占的香味基因进行定位

两栖类作为首个登陆的物种,在脊椎动物的进化及其免疫系统进化中占有非常关键的位置。然而,目前两栖类基因组信息仅来自非洲爪蟾及其近亲种,这使得两栖类相关研究相对迟缓。基于数年来对分布于我国西南地区典型蛙种—大蹼铃蟾的研究,我们推测大蹼铃蟾可能比其他蛙类(包括对非洲爪蟾)具有更强的免疫系统,例如抗细菌、病毒的感染。因而,我们对大蹼铃蟾转录组进行了比较分析,发现大量高表达的皮肤特异性基因,以及调节性的非编
