Summary Phospholipase C in the antennae of Periplaneta americana was stimulated by pheromones in a GTP-dependent manner. The enzyme activity was potentiated by hydrolysis-resistant analogs of GTP and decreased by GDP analogs. Guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) in antennal preparations were identified by bacterial toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation and immunoreactivity with antibodies of designed specificity. The stimulatory effect of pheromones on inositol phosphate formation was completely blocked by pertussis toxin suggesting that the pheromone action was mediated via specific G-proteins.Abbreviations

Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA.

Crude extracts or supernatants of broken cells of Clostridium formicoaceticum reduce unbranched, branched, saturated and unsaturated carboxylates at the expense of carbon monoxide to the corresponding alcohols. The presence of viologens with redox potentials varying from E
0=-295 to-650 mV decreased the rate of propionate reduction. The more the propionate reduction was diminished the more formate was formed from carbon monoxide. The lowest propionate reduction and highest formate formation was observed with methylviologen. The carbon-carbon double bond of E-2-methyl-butenoate was only hydrogenated when a viologen was present. Formate as electron donor led only in the presence of viologens to the formation of propanol from propionate. The reduction of propionate at the expense of a reduced viologen can be followed in cuvettes. With respect to propionate Michaelis Menten behavior was observed. Experiments are described which lead to the assumption that the carboxylates are reduced in a non-activated form. That would be new type of biological reduction.Non-standard abbreviations glc

Cardiolipin is one of the principle phospholipids in the mammalian heart comprising as much as 15–20% of the entire phospholipid phosphorus mass of that organ. Cardiolipin is localized primarily in the mitochondria and appears to be essential for the function of several enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, cardiolipin is essential for production of energy for the heart to beat. Cardiac cardiolipin is synthesized via the cytidine-5-diphosphate-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol pathway. The properties of the four enzymes of the cytidine-5-diphosphate-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol pathway have been characterized in the heart. The rate-limiting step of this pathway is catalyzed by the phosphatidic acid: cytidine-5-triphosphate cytidylyltransferase. Several regulatory mechanisms that govern cardiolipin biosynthesis in the heart have been uncovered. Current evidence suggests that cardiolipin biosynthesis is regulated by the energy status (adenosine-5-triphosphate and cytidine-5-triphosphate level) of the heart. Thyroid hormone and unsaturated fatty acids may regulate cardiolipin biosynthesis at the level of three key enzymes of the cytidine-5-diphosphate-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol pathway, phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase, phosphatidylglycerolphosphate phosphatase and cardiolipin synthase. Newly synthesized phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylglycerol may be preferentially utilized for cardiolipin biosynthesis in the heart. In addition, separate pools of phosphatidylglycerol, including an exogenous (extra-mitochondrial) pool not derived from de novo phosphatidylglycerol biosynthesis, may be utilized for cardiac cardiolipin biosynthesis. In several mammalian tissues a significant number of studies on polyglycerophospholipid biosynthesis have been documented, including detailed studies in the lung and liver. However, in spite of the important role of cardiolipin in the maintenance of mitochondrial function and membrane integrity, studies on the control of cardiolipin biosynthesis in the mammalian heart have been largely neglected. The purpose of this review will be to briefly discuss cardiolipin and cardiolipin biosynthesis in some selected model systems and focus primarily on current studies involving the regulation of cardiolipin biosynthesis in the heart.

Summary Adenosine 5-phosphoramidates form when solutions containing adenosine 5-polyphosphates pnA (n 3) or P1, P2-diadenosine 5-diphosphate and amines are allowed to dry out. Mg ions catalyze these reactions. We have studied systems containing ammonia, imidazole, glycine, ethylenediamine and histamine. The yields of adenosine 5-phosphoramidates range from 10–50 % based on the nucleotide. The prebiotic significance of the reactions is discussed.Abbreviations Im

The occurrence of adenosine 5-triphosphate-3-diphosphate-synthesizing activity was detected in five strains of actinomycetes; Streptomyces morookaensis, Streptomyces aspergilloides, Streptomyces hachijoensis, Actinomyces violascens and Streptoverticillium septatum, out of 825 strains of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and imperfecti. Purine nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase were extracellularly excreted associating with the cell growth, and were purified partially or to apparent homogeniety from the culture filtrate. The enzymes are a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 18000–26000 and synthesize adenosine, guanosine and inosine 5-phosphate (mono, di or tri)-3-diphosphate such as pApp, ppApp, pppApp, pGpp, ppGpp, pppGpp and pppIpp by transferring a pyrophosphoryl group from the 5-position of ATP, dATP and pppApp to the 3-position of purine nucleotides in the presence of a divalent cation and in alkaline state.Abbreviations pppApp

Purified ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39) was strongly and equally inhibited either by ADP or GDP and to a lesser extent by IDP. AMP or ATP exerted little effect on activity. Inhibition by the nucleotide diphosphates was competitive with respect to RuBP and non-competitive with respect to CO2 and Mg2+, respectively. Treatment of the enzyme with urea or guanidine-HCl resulted in rapid loss of activity that was not restored by dialysis even in the presence of Mg2+ and cysteine. Sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis of 8.0 M urea treated enzyme revealed the presence of a fast-moving (small) sub-unit with molecular weight 14150 and a slower moving (large) sub-unit with molecular weight 68000. Examination of native enzyme by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis gave sub-units of 13700 and 55500 respectively. The amino acid content standardized to phenylalanine was essentially similar to that from other sources. Arrhenius plots showed a break at 29°C with an E
a of 12.34 kcal per mole for the steeper part of the curve and a H of 11.43 kcal per mole while for the less steep region, the E
a was 1.04 kcal per mole and the H 1.92 kcal per mole.Abbreviations ADP

2D NMR spectroscopy and J coupling constant analysis are applied to resolve the structure of two photoproducts of thymidylyl-(35)-thymidine. These products are cyclobutane type thymine dimers possessing the cis-syn (the predominant one) and trans-syn geometry. The cis-syn is formed in an ANTI-ANTI conformation about the N-glycosyl linkages and resembles the normal base-stacked configuration. The glycosidic conformation in solution of the 5 terminal fragment differs from the crystal in which the less common SYN conformation is observed. In this isomer only the sugar pucker of the 3 terminal fragment is changed substantially with respect to the dinucleotide. The trans-syn isomer is formed in a SYN-ANTI glycosidic conformation. In this isomer the sugar puckers of both deoxyribose rings are affected and a preference for a pure 2-endo conformation is observed.Abbreviations dTpdT

The purified isopropylmalate synthase of Alcaligenes eutrophus H 16 reacted with the following -keto acids and acyl-coenzyme A derivatives (in the sequence of decreasing affinities): -ketoisovalerate, -keto-n-valerate, -ketobutyrate and pyruvate; acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, butyryl-CoA. malonyl-CoA, valeryl-CoA, and crotonyl-CoA. -Ketoisocaproate, however, is a strong inhibitor of the enzyme. All reactions catalyzed by isopropylmalate synthase were inhibited to the same extent by the endproduct l-leucine. the substrate saturation curves of -ketoisovalerate or other -keto acids and of acetyl-coenzyme A or other acyl-CoA derivatives had intermediary plateau regions; the Hill coefficient alternated between n
H
-values higher and lower than 1.0, indicating changes from positive to negative and from negative to positive cooperativity for the substrates. The products, isopropylmalate and free coenzyme A, showed competitive inhibition patterns against both substrates (-ketoisovalerate and acetyl-CoA). Free coenzyme A (1 M) inactivated the enzyme irreversibly. The 3-phosphate of coenzyme A and the free carboxyl group of -ketoisovalerate were involved in optimal binding of these substrates, but 3-dephospho-acetyl-coenzyme A and the methylester of -ketoisovalerate were also converted by this enzyme. A CH3–CH2-grouping of the -keto acids seemed to be necessary for binding this substrate.Abbreviations Used CoA

Bacillus polymyxa grown in a recycling fermentor shows the same behavior previously observed with Escherichia coli: 3 successive growth phases. In the last 2 phases the growth rate is linear and the apparent maintenance energy demand rate and the molar growth yield are both independent of the specific growth rate, , and of the cells mass. The final phase of very slow growth is an indefinitely prolonged state of strong, stringent control, the regulatory system based on guanosine 3-diphosphate 5-diphosphate, and guanosine 3-diphosphate 5-triphosphate. The maximum cost of this stringent response is calculated to be 9% of the energy available to these energy-limited cells. There is a further energy cost contained in substantial amounts of DNA, RNA, and protein released from the cells during the latter 2 growth phases. The cost of production of these extra cellular anabolites ranges from 8–11% of the available energy.After a carbon-energy upshift in phase 3, the population growth rate immediately returned to that of early phase 2 growth, 50 h or more earlier.If maintenance energy is considered as energy expended by cells to maintain homeostasis, catabolic capacity, or anabolic potential, then the cost of stringent control — which preserves the fidelity of protein synthesis in slowly growing cells — must be considered a maintenance energy cost.Abbreviations GPR

Summary Evaporation of a solution of thymidine plus either theexo or theendo diastereomer of uridine cyclic 2,3-O, O-phosphorothioate (U > p(S) in 1,2-diaminoethane hydrochloride buffer gave the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers of (P-thio) uridylylthymidine (Up(S)dT) in a ratio of 1:2 with a combined yield of about 20%. These isomers were re-converted to U > p(S) and dT by a reaction that is known to proceed by an in-line mechanism. Both the 2,5 and 3,5 isomers gave as product the same diastereomer of U > p(S) that had been used originally in their formation. These dry-state prebiotic reactions (Verlander, Lohrmann, and Orgel 1973) are thus shown to be stereospecific, and both the 2,5 and 3,5 internucleotide bonds are formed by an in-line mechanism.Abbreviations DAE

Summary Three independent isolates ofChlamydomonas, selected for caffeine resistance, were found to arrest in G1 phase, as determined by quantitative fluorescence measurements of DNA, when grown at a non-permissive temperature. This cell cycle arrest correlated with lowered levels of cAMP and of adenylate cyclase activity. The arrested cells could be rescued by added cAMP but not AMP, hence the defect was not one of general purine metabolism. Back-crosses to wild type revealed that the phenotypes observed result from a combination of three separable mutations. It is clear that the mutations define functions that are more stringently required for cell division than for growth since the mutant strains are able to grow up to fifteen times normal size while blocked at the non-permissive temperature. The possible interaction of cAMP dependent events with division is discussed.Abbreviations AMP

The rate of CO2- and p-benzoquione-dependent photosynthetic O2 evolution by Anabaena variabilis cells remained unaltered and the rate of O2 uptake observed after switching off the light (endogenous respiration) was enhanced by a factor of 6–8 when the O2 concentration was increased from 200 to 400 M. Photosystem-I-linked O2 uptake and respiration of the cells incubated with ascorbate and N,N,NN-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine was not appreciable influenced by the O2 concentration. 2-Iodo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-2,4,4-trinitrodiphenyl ether, blocking electron transfer at the plastoquinone level, suppressed O2 evolution and had no influence on endogenous respiration. 2-n-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, an inhibitor of electron transfer between photosystems II and I, as well as the cytochrome-oxidase inhibitors N

The molar ratio of cytochromes b6, f, c-553, aa3 and photosystem-I reaction centers in the isolated membranes equalled approx. 2:1:2:0.7:2. It is inferred that endogenous respiration of A. variabilis cells is inhibited by the light-induced electron flow through both photosystems at the level of the plastoquinone-plastocyanin-oxidoreductase complex.Abbreviations DCMU

A yeast-mycelium (Y-M) transition in Candida albicans was induced by exogenous yeast extract, adenosine, adenosine 5-monophosphate (AMP), adenosine 5-diphosphate (ADP), adenosine 35 cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and its analogue N6, O2-dibutyryl adenosine 35-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP) in defined liquid medium at 25°C. Adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) was found to delay germ tube formation in yeast cells, whereas the cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitors, theophylline and caffeine, induced a Y-M transition. Intracellular and extracellular cyclic AMP levels increased during the yeast-mycelium transition and maximum levels of intracellular cyclic AMP coincided with maximum germ tube formation. Of the many inducers and inhibitors of germ tube and mycelium formation in C. albicans tested, including incubation at 37°C or in the presence of 1.5mM CaCl2, the calmodulin inhibitor calmidazolium (R24571) added together with CaCl2 induced the highest intra- and extracellular cyclic AMP levels. These results confirm the involvement of cyclic AMP in the yeast-mycelium transition of C. albicans. 相似文献

The reaction of methanol dehydrogenase with cytochrome c
L from Methylophaga marina and the reactions of the non-physiological substrates, Wurster's blue and ascorbic acid, with both proteins were studied as a function of temperature (4–32 °C), pressure (1–2000 bar) and ionic strength using the optical high pressure stopped-flow method. The thermodynamic parameters H, S and V were determined for all reactions where electron transfers are involved. These data allowed the determination of the Maxwell relationships which proved the internal thermodynamic consistency of the system under study. A conformational change on the cytochrome c
L level was deduced from both breaks in the Arrhenius plots and the variation of the V with temperature.Abbreviations MOPS

The sugar conformation of a DNA decamer was studied with proton-proton 3J coupling constants. Two samples, one comprising stereospecifically labeled 2-R-2H for all residues and the other 2-S-2H, were prepared by the method of Kawashima et al. [J. Org. Chem. (1995) 60, 6980–6986; Nucleosides Nucleotides (1995) 14, 333–336], the deuterium labeling being highly stereospecific 99% for all 2-2H, 98% for 2-2H of A, C, and T, and 93% for 2-2H of G). The 3J values of all H1-H2 and H1-H2 pairs, and several H2-H3 and H2-H3 pairs were determined by line fitting of 1D spectra with 0.1–0.2 Hz precision. The observed J coupling constants were explained by the rigid sugar conformation model, and the sugar conformations were found to be between C3-exo and C2-endo with m values of 26° to 44°, except for the second and 3 terminal residues C2 and C10. For the C2 and C10 residues, the lower fraction of S-type conformation was estimated from JH1H2 and JH1H2 values. For C10, the N–S two-site jump model or Gaussian distribution of the torsion angle model could explain the observed J values, and 68% S-type conformation or C1-exo conformation with 27° distribution was obtained, respectively. The differences between these two motional models are discussed based on a simple simulation of J-coupling constants. 相似文献

Summary We have synthesized 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphos-phate), an analogue of the 3-terminus of aminoacylated tRNA. A 0.4M solution of this compound maintained at pH 8.2, yields 5.5% of diglycine and 11.5% of diketopiperazine, in addition to the hydrolysis products glycine and adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate). Under the same conditions, glycine ethyl ester reacts much more slowly, but ultimately gives similar yields of diglycine and diketopiperazine.The aminolysis of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) by free glycine is relatively inefficient, but serine reacts 20 times more rapidly and yields up to 50% of N-glycylserine. The prebiotic significance of these reactions is discussed.Abbreviations MepA

Summary The angular dependence of1JC,H in model compounds related to -linked oligosaccharides has been established by FPT INDO quantum chemical calculations. Values calculated for models of (1 1)-, (1 2)-, (1 3)- and (1 4)-linked disaccharides were compared, and the effect of the orientation of HO-2 elucidated. The angular dependence of1JC,H on the torsional angles H and H and the solvent dielectric constant (s) was characterized in the form:1JC,H = A cos2+B cos + C sin2 + D since + E + Fe. The1JC,H values, measured by DEPT methods for C-1-H-1 and C-X-H-X in cellobiose, cyclic trisaccharide and hexopyranoses were used to adjust the calculated angular dependences. Based on the occurrence of the conformers for agarobiose, neoagarobiose, mannobiose and methyl -xylobioside, the thermodynamically averaged <1JC,H > values were calculated. The results obtained (<1JC-1,H-1 > 162.4, <1JC-4, H-4 > 147.6 Hz for methyl -xylobioside; <1JC-1,H-1 > 162.4 and <1JC-4,H-4] > 147.6 Hz for mannobiose; <1JC-1,H-1 > 162.8 Hz for neo agarobiose and <1JC-1,H-1 > 163.2 Hz for agarobiose) agree well with the experimental values of 162.7, 147.5, 160.4, 147.2, 160.9 and 165.7 Hz, respectively. 相似文献
