Identification of b,c, and d cytochromes in the membrane of Vitreoscilla

Cytochromes b, c, d, and o were identified by spectroscopic analysis of respiratory membrane fragments from Vitreoscilla sp., strain C1. Carbon monoxide difference spectra of the reduced membranes had absorption maxima at 416, 534, and 571 nm (ascribed to cytochrome o) and 632 nm (cytochrome d). Derivative spectra of the pyridine hemochromogen spectra of the membranes identified the presence of b- and c-type cytochromes in Vitreoscilla. The cyanide binding curve of the membranes was biphasic with dissociation constants of 2.14 mM and 10.7 mM which were assigned to cytochrome o and cytochrome d, respectively. Membranes bound carbon monoxide with dissociation constant 3.9 M, which was assigned to cytochrome o. Cytochrome c ₅₅₆ and a NADH-p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet reductase component were partially purified from Vitreoscilla membranes.Abbreviations INT p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet - RMF respiratory membrane fragments - K _d dissociation constant - CHAPS 3-[(3-cholamido propyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate - DOC sodium deoxycholate - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate     

The phylogeny and taxonomy of genera Cystoderma and Cystodermella (Agaricales) based on nuclear ITS and LSU sequences

Species delimitation in Cystoderma and Cystodermella was evaluated based on ITS and LSU rDNA sequences as well as morphological data. Two species of Cystoderma are synonymised with C. carcharias and three species with C. jasonis, distinguishing the synonymised taxa as varieties of these accepted species. Analyses of partial LSU rDNA sequences revealed Cystoderma and Cystodermella as distinct monophyletic genera, with Ripartitella representing a well-supported sister group of the latter. Phaeolepiota aurea represents either an unsupported sister group or member of Cystoderma in the phylogenies based on LSU and ITS sequences rDNA data, respectively. The tribe Cystodermateae sensu Singer did not appear monophyletic according to analyses of LSU sequences. On the basis of these data, the phylogenetic relationships among most of the analyzed genera could not be resolved unequivocally.

Cyclic and noncyclic photophosphorylation during the ontogenesis of high-light and low-light leaves of Sinapis alba

Noncyclic electron transport to ferricyanide and photophosphorylation as well as the methylviologen mediated aerobic and anaerobic photophosphorylation with dichlorophenolindophenol-ascorbate as the electron donor of photosystem I were measured during the development of high-light and low-light adapted leaves of Sinapis alba. Anaerobic methylviologen-catalyzed phosphorylation is more than twice as high as aerobic phosphorylation. The difference between the rates of aerobic and anaerobic phosphorylation is sensitive to dibromothymoquinone. Thus, under anaerobic conditions, methylviologen mediates a cyclic phosphorylation including plastoquinone. All photochemical activities of high-light chloroplasts are about twice as high as that of low-light chloroplasts and show a permanent decline with increasing plant age. The lower activities of low-light chloroplasts correlate with a decrease of electron transport components, such as cytochrome f. This indicates that the number of electron transport chains is decreased under low-light conditions and more chlorophyll molecules interact with one electrontransport chain.Abbreviations Asc ascorbate - Chl chlorophyll a+b - DBMIB 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone - DCMU 3-(dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DCPIP dichlorophenolindophenol - HL high light - LL low light - MV methylviologen - PhAR photosynthetically active radiation - PS photosystem     

Cellulase production and activity in a species ofCladosporium

ACladosporium species produced large amounts of cellulase enzyme components when grown in shake-culture with medium containing carboxymethylcellulose. There was significantly less activity when Avicel, filter paper or cotton were used as substrates. KNO₃ was better than NH₄Cl or urea for the production of cellulase. Tween 80 at 0.1% (w/v) increased the production of cellulase by 1.5 to 4.5-fold. All the cellulase components were optimally active in the assay at pH 5.0 and 60°C.     

Comparative characterization of methanotrophic enrichments by serological and molecular methods

Three stable methane-oxidizing enrichment cultures, SB26, SB31, and SB31A, were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and by serological and molecular techniques. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of both type I and type II methanotrophs in SB31 and SB31A enrichments; only type II methanotrophs were found in SB26 enrichment. Methylosinus trichosporium was detected in all three enrichments by the application of species-specific antibodies. Additionally, Methylocystis echinoides was found in SB26 culture; Methylococcus capsulatus, in SB31 and SB31A; and Methylomonas methanica, in SB31. The analysis with pmoA and nifH gene sequences as phylogenetic markers revealed the presence of Methylosinus/Methylocystis group in all communities. Moreover, the analysis of pmoA sequences revealed the presence of Methylomonas in SB31. Methylocella was detected in SB31 and SB31A enrichments only by nifH analysis. It was concluded that the simultaneous application of different approaches reveals more reliable information on the diversity of methanotrophs.

Molecular cloning and expression of a proteinase gene from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris H2 and construction of a new lactococcal vector pFX1

The 6.5 kb HindIII DNA fragment of the Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris H2 plasmid pDI21 was cloned into Escherichia coli POP13 with NM1149, and also directly into Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 4125 using a newly-constructed broad host-range vector pFX1. Proteinase was experessed in both transformed organisms. The proteinase resembles a PI type since it preferentially degraded -casein. The restriction map of the 6.5 kb proteinase gene fragment has minor differences from those of published plamid proteinase genes. High-efficiency electroporation with pFX1 provides a direct approach for gene cloning in lactococci.Abbreviations cfu colony forming units - HEPES N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N-[2-ethanesulphonic acid] Dedicated to Prof. Dr. G.

Primary structure and promoter analysis of leghemoglobin genes of the stem-nodulated tropical legume Sesbania rostrata: conserved coding sequences, cis-elements and trans-acting factors

Summary The primary structure of a leghemoglobin (lb) gene from the stem-nodulated, tropical legume Sesbania ostrata and two lb gene promoter regions was analysed. The S. rostrata lb gene structure and Lb amino acid composition were found to be highly conserved with previously described lb genes and Lb proteins. Distinct DNA elements were identified in the S. rostrata lb promoter regions, which share a high degree of homology with cis-active regulatory elements found in the soybean (Glycine max) lbc3 promoter. One conserved DNA element was found to interact specifically with an apparently universal, trans-acting factor present in nuclear extracts of nodules. These results suggest a conserved mechanism for nodule specific induction of lb genes in leguminous plants.     

The structure of cytochromec and the rates of molecular evolution

Summary The x-ray structure analysis of ferricytochromec shows the reasons for the evolutionary conservatism of hydrophobic and aromatic side chains, lysines, and glycines, which had been observed from comparisons of amino acid sequences from over 30 species. It also shows that the negative character of one portion of the molecular surface is conserved, even though individual acidic side chains are not, and that positive charges are localized around two hydrophobic channels leading from the interior to the surface.The reason for the unusual evolutionary conservation of surface features in cytochromesc is probably the interaction of the molecule with two other large macromolecular complexes, its reductase and oxidase. This conservation of surface structure also explains the relatively slow rate of change of cytochromec sequences in comparison with the globins and enzymes of similar size.The rate of evolution of a protein is the rate of occurrence of mutations in the genome modified by the probability that a random change in amino acid sequence will be tolerable in a functioning protein. The observed rates of change in fibrinopeptides, the globins, cytochromec, and several enzymes are interpreted in terms of the proteins' biological roles.Contribution No. 4114 from the Norman W. Church Laboratory of Chemical Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91109.
