- 1.1. Total content of DNA and RNA in liver, kidney and spleen were measured in young and aged rats. At the same time the incorporation of [14C]thymidine, a DNA precursor, and [3H]uridine, an RNA precursor, were also determined.
- 2.2. Changes in total organ DNA and RNA correlated with sexual maturation as did incorporation of precursors.
- 3.3. Young animals have more DNA per organ relative to RNA. with kidney and spleen DNA showing a decrease between maturity and senescence.
- 4.4. However, liver RNA increases with age. a change probably due to decreased catabolism of RNA since [3H]uridine uptake decreases.
- 5.5. Liver polyploid differentiation, and [14C]thymidine and [3H]uridine uptake, are correlated.
- 6.6. In kidney, incorporation of [3H]uridine is inversely related to [14C]thymidine incorporation.

- 1.1. Using one force-fed meal, eight mature female rainbow trout received [14C]astaxanthin ([14C]Ax) with [3H]canthaxanthin ([3H]Cx; N = 3) or with [3H]zeaxanthin ([3H]Zx; N = 5).
- 2.2. Approximately 200 μl of blood were collected via caudal puncture every 24 hr for 4 days. After 96 hr, the fish were killed and pyloric caeca (P.C.) from the duodenal intestine (D.I.) section, ileal intestine (I.I.), and posterior intestine (P.I.) were dissected out.
- 3.3. In the blood, Ax levels were higher than Cx followed by Zx levels.
- 4.4. This corresponds to their respective absorption by the trout as was confirmed by their relative concentrations in P.C., I.I. and P.I.
- 5.5. However, blood clearance was similar for all three compounds. [14C]Phoenicoxanthin ([14C]Px) was detected as a reduced metabolite of [14C]Ax in all gut sections.

- 1.1. The metabolism of purine bases and nucleosides in cotyledons and embryonic axes of black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) was studied.
- 2.2. A large portion of absorbed [8-14C]adenine, [8-14C]guanine and [8-14C]adenosine was salvaged in nucleotide and nucleic acid synthesis.
- 3.3. Most of the radioactivity of [8-14C]hypoxanthine and [8-14C]inosine was incorporated into allantoin and allantoic acid.
- 4.4. Activity of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase in enzyme extracts was much higher than that of hypoxanthme and guanine phosphoribosyltransferase(s).
- 5.5. Apparent activity of adenosine kinase was higher than that of inosine kinase. 6. NAD+-dependent xan thine dehydrogenase was detected in both cotyledons and embryonic axes of the seedlings.
- 6.7. The capacity of purine salvage was higher m 24 hr old cotyledons than 24 and 48 hr old embryonic axes. The reverse was observed concerning that of purine degradation.

- 1.1. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) was absorbed rapidly by suspension-cultured cells of Catharanthus roseus which had previously been cultured in Pi-free Murashige Skoog medium.
- 2.2. The intracellular levels of ATP, ADP and 5-phosphoribosyl-l-pyrophosphate (PRPP) increased markedly during the 24 hr which followed the addition of Pi (1.25mM).
- 3.3. Availability of PRPP in vivo, estimated by the measurement of nucleotide synthesis from [8-14C]adenine, was also increased by addition of Pi.
- 4.4. Only a 20% increase in the maximum catalytic activity of PRPP synthetase was observed in extracts of cells, prepared 24 hr after addition of Pi.
- 5.5. In contrast to results for mammalian PRPP synthetase, the activity of PRPP synthetase, partially purified from Catharanthus roseus, was inhibited by concentration of Pi greater than 5mM.
- 6.6. The mechanisms involved in the increased availability of PRPP and the synthesis of adenine nucleotides in the plant cells cultured in Pi-containing medium are discussed.

- 1.1. The modulation of lipid dynamics and lipid protein interactions were studied in rat brain synaptosomal plasma membranes (SPM) up to 24 hr after exposure to cadmium (Cd).
- 2.2. The activity of acetylcholinesterase and adenylate cyclase showed a considerable decrease after 6 hr of Cd exposure, followed by a progressive increase up to 24 hr.
- 3.3. SPM chemiluminescence showed a maximum decrease at 12 hr, demonstrating a considerable increase in lipid peroxidation.
- 4.4. SPM of Cd-exposed animals showed a statistical significant increase in fluorescence anisotropy parameter [(r0/r) — 1]−1 at 18 and 24 hr compared to SPM of the control, indicating a decrease of membrane fluidity.

- 1.1. The interaction of insulin with purified brush-border membranes from rat kidney was studied with the use of [125I]insulin.
- 2.2. The specific binding of insulin by brush-borders could be demonstrated, and was time- and temperature-dependent.
- 3.3. [125I]insulin was displaced by unlabelled insulin. A1-B29 dodecoyl insulin and insulin A- and B-chains in proportion to their relative bioactivity.
- 4.4. Brush-border membranes showed high insulin-degrading activity with an apparent Km of 2.2 μM.
- 5.5. A number of proteinase inhibitors were effective in inhibiting insulin degradation but the greatest degree of inhibition was achieved by the use of thiol-blocking reagents.
- 6.6. No evidence was obtained for the involvement of the enzyme glutathione-insulin transhydrogenase.

- 1.1. In vivo incorporation into body lipids and breast muscle proteins from l-[U-14C]leucine was studied in genetically lean or fat male chickens, fed or starved, 1 or 24 hr after intraperitoneal injection.
- 2.2. Lipogensis and portein synthesis from labelled leucine were significantly higher in fat chickens than in lean birds, particularly in those in the fed state.
- 3.3. Radioactivity in the free amino acid pool was greater in fat birds irrespective of the nutritional state.
- 4.4. However, utilization of injected l-[U-14C]leucine for lipogenesis was no more than 2%.

- 1.1. Compartmentation of uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) was studied during synthesis of cytoplasmic ribosomal RNA (cyt-rRNA) and plastid ribosomal RNA (pl-rRNA) in photoorganotrophically grown cells of Euglena gracilis Z.
- 2.2. Using the approach of Wiegers et al. (1976) the steady state specific radioactivity of UTP was compared with that ofcyt-20S rRNA, cyt-25S rRNA, pl-16S rRNA and pl-23S rRNA under low and at 100-fold higher specific radioactivity of exogenously fed pHl-uracil.
- 3.3. The equal steady state specific radioactivities of all rRNAs at both feeding conditions argue against compartmentation of UTP during their synthesis.
- 4.4. At high specific radioactivity of exogenous [3H]-uracil the salvage-derived labelled UMP was shown to be diluted 15,000-fold by unlabelled UMP formed de novo, whereas this dilution factor was 100-fold lower at low specific radioactivity of [3H]-uracil indicating inhibition of the de novo synthesis of UMP.
- 5.5. Transport is suggested of uridine nucleotides into chloroplasts by the 15-fold higher specific radioactivity of intracellular [3H]-uracil than that of UTP as well as UMP residues in pl-rRNA.

- 1.1. The distribution of radiolabel from L-leucine [14C-UL] and D-glucose [14C-UL] was measured in the sea star Asterias rubens at 1, 6 and 24 hr after oral administration.
- 2.2. Incorporation of the label from both compounds was observed in pyloric caeca, coelomocytes and ovaries even after an incubation time of 1 hr.
- 3.3. Highest incorporation from both precursors was found in proteins, while substantial radioactivity was present in the amino acids, organic acids and neutral components. Lipids were hardly labelled from leucine and only slightly from glucose.
- 4.4. Radioactivity in proteins and lipids increased with increasing incubation time. No significant differences were found in the distribution patterns of radiolabel during the reproductive cycle.
- 5.5. The data obtained are discussed in terms of current knowledge on the translocation of nutrients in echinoderms.

- 1.1. A high amount of [14C]leucine is incorporated in vivo into rat serum peptides after 1 hr of isotope administration.
- 2.2. In vitro [14C]leucine appears in reconstituted blood plasma and in rat liver peptide mixtures. After 4hr of perfusion the radioactivities amount to 2078 ± 913 and 2120 ± 549 cpm/mg of peptides, respectively.
- 3.3. The serum and liver peptides analysed show a great aggregation ability and so it is difficult to decide which of the liver peptides are destined for the serum.

- 1.1. The total amount of DNA present in L5178Y cells treated with antiserum in the absence of complement was decreased whereas the rate of incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA during a 1 hr pulse was increased as compared with those of controls.
- 2.2. This increase in specific activity of [3H]thymidine in the DNA of antiserum-treated cells appeared to be due, at least in part, to an increase in thymidine kinase activity.

- 1.1. The in vitro metabolism of [3H]benzo[a]pyrene (BP) and [14C]benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol (BP-7,8-diol) by liver of brown bullhead (Ictalurus nebulosus) was characterized, as was the formation and persistence of BP-DNA adducts in vivo.
- 2.2. Compared to rat liver microsomes, bullhead liver microsomes produced relatively larger amounts of BP-7,8-diol (predominantly the [−] enantiomer) and smaller amounts of BP-4,5-diol.
- 3.3. BP phase I metabolites were efficiently converted by freshly isolated bullhead hepatocytes to conjugates, predominantly glucuronides.
- 4.4. BP-7,8-diol was metabolized by hepatocytes 4-fold more rapidly than was BP and was converted to approximately equal amounts of glucuronides, glutathione conjugates and sulfates.
- 5.5. BP-DNA adducts formed in bullhead liver with a lag time of several days and maximum adduct formation at 25–30 days. The major adduct was anti-BPDE-deoxyguanosine.

- 1.1. The potassium contracture in the anterior byssus retractor muscle of Mytilus edulis relaxed spontaneously, and the relaxation was accelerated by 5-HT (10−6 M), but the contractile activation and inactivation was not affected significantly.
- 2.2. By reducing [Ca]0, the “activation curve” was shifted downward at higher [K]0, and the “inactivation curve” was shifted toward lower [K]0 and the rate of inactivation was increased.
- 3.3. The steady-state inactivation was maintained for at least 2 hr without complete inactivation.
- 4.4. The half-inactivation time was dependent on [K]0, while the half-relaxation time in the contracture induced by conditioning K solutions was not.

- 1.1. The metabolism of inositol (Ins)-containing phospholipids and inositol phosphates has been studied by following the incorporation and distribution of myo-[3 H]Ins in metabolically active electrocytes from the electric ray Discopyge tschudii.
- 2.2. The apparent initial rate of myo-[3H]Ins incorporation into total phosphoinositides was ca 8.2 fmol/mg protein/hr. Phosphatidylinositol (Ptdlns) displayed the highest levels of labelling. Lithium inhibited this incorporation probably by limiting the recycling of myo-[3H]Ins from [3H]Ins-monophosphate.
- 3.3. The formation of water-soluble products of phosphoinositides between 7 and 24 hr was 4.1 ± 0.2, 0.4 ± 0.2 and 3.0 ± 1.0 fmol/μmmol total lipid phosphorus for myo-[3H]InsP, -InsP2 and Ins-P3 respectively.
- 4.4. Lithium ions are shown to modulate phosphoinositide synthesis and Ins-phosphate accumulation. Ins-mono-, bis- and tris-phosphate production was enhanced 5-, 3- and 2-fold by Li +.
- 5.5. The above results suggest the participation of a C-type phospholipase and of Li-sensitive phosphatases in the modulation of phosphoinositide metabolism in the electrocyte.

- 1.1. Uridine kinase partially purified from various tissues of higher organisms can be precipitated by means of Zn2+-ions without a substantial loss of enzyme activity.
- 2.2. Using an extract from Escherichia coli a similar procedure resulted in the inactivation of uridine kinase.
- 3.3. Uridine kinases from various tissues of mice and rats differ in their thermal stabilities during incubation as cell-free extracts, partially purified enzymes as well as Zn-insolubilized and freeze-dried enzyme preparations.
- 4.4. The highest thermal stability displays Zn-complexed uridine kinase prepared from the kidney and the lowest stability enzyme precipitated from the liver.

- 1.1. Freshwater limpets were fed [14C] labelled food for 24hr, and unlabelled food for 96hr.
- 2.2. Incorporation into the periostracum was on average about 6.8% of total soft body value.
- 3.3. A negative correlation exists between the absolute amount incorporated into the soft body and the per cent incorporation into the periostracum.

- 1.1. The phenoloxidase activity, protein and carbohydrate levels were studied for 24 hr in the hemolymph of the migratory grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes after artificial wounding of the insect cuticle or the injection of Beauveria bassiana conidia.
- 2.2. Injection or wounding induced a primary response and phenoloxidase activity was found to increase within 10–60 min. The values for phenoloxidase activity in viable B. bassiana-injected insects exhibited a secondary response, i.e., an increase 24 hr after injection.
- 3.3. In wounded insects and those injected with inactivated conidia, the phenoloxidase activity receded after the initial increase and remained at low levels.
- 4.4. Protein concentrations in the hemolymph increased immediately after infection and wounding and returned to basal levels during the course of the experiment.
- 5.5. Injection of viable B. bassiana resulted in a gradual increase in the protein concentrations between 12 and 24 hr.
- 6.6. There was no apparent change in the carbohydrate levels in either B. bassiana-infected or wounded insects.
- 7.7. These results are discussed in relation to their possible role(s) and interrelationships in the immune response to infection or wounding. Furthermore, we suggest that a “factor” is released after mechanical injury of the integument.

- 1.1. To evaluate changes in high-energy phosphate metabolism in the water scorpion (Ranatra chinensis) under restraint and cold water-warm water stresses, in vivo [31P]NMR spectra were obtained.
- 2.2. Under restraint stress, arginine phosphate (Arg-P) decreased by 10% after 1 hr and remained at that level thereafter, while β-ATP showed negligible changes over 6 hr.
- 3.3. As the water temperature gradually increased or decreased, the relative concentration of Arg-P decreased due to enzyme regulation.
- 4.4. Repeated cold water-warm water stress, which consisted of repeated 15 min exposures to cold water (5°C) followed by 15 min exposures to warm water (30°C) caused distinct decreases in Arg-P and β-ATP concentration. These decreases were dependent on the frequency of exposure.
- 5.5. Phosphomonoesters (PME) increased not only with restraint stress but also with cold water-warm water stress.
- 6.6. The effect of cold water-warm water stress on high-energy phosphate metabolism was greater than that of restraint stress.

- 1.1. Seasonal changes in 14C- and 3H-labelled glucose metabolism were studied in an in vitro preparation of the mantle tissue from Mytilus edulis L. throughout 1978–1979.
- 2.2. Incorporation of [1-14C] and [6-14C]glucose into glycogen and amino acids peaked in the summer, resulting in an increased rate of glucose utilisation. [2-3H]glucose utilisation data agreed with this finding.
- 3.3. Pentose phosphate pathway activity reached a maximum in the spring of 1979, but represented only a very small fraction of the total glucose utilisation.
- 4.4. In the winter, and during starvation experiments, the capacity for exogenous glucose utilisation fell, with a compensatory increase in tissue glycogen degradation. The contribution of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway to total carbohydrate metabolism appeared to remain stable throughout the year.

- 1.1. Recently we described the isolation of the β-interferon receptor [Zhang et al. (1986) J. biol. Chem. 261, 8017–8021]. A highly purified product was obtained but in low quantities.
- 2.2. The use ofbiotinylated β-interferon as a ligand represents an alternate approach to receptor isolation.
- 3.3. We have prepared and characterized the derivatives N-(biotinyl)- and N-(biotinyl-ϵ-aminocaproyl)-recombinant human [Ser17-interferon β (B- and BC-recHulFNβ).
- 4.4. Biotin incorporation does not result in any loss of antiviral activity, demonstrating the recognition of the derivative by the cell receptor.
- 5.5. The biotinylated recHuIFNβ binds specifically and reversibly to succinoylavidin or guanidine thiocyanate-stripped succinoylavidin linked to a Sepharose matrix.
- 6.6. Comparison of the competition curves obtained with [14C]biotin and [3H]biotinyl recHuIFN, in the presence of increasing concentrations of biotin suggests that the IFN moiety of the derivative has little effect on the affinity of biotin for avidin.
- 7.7. Biotinylated recHuIFNβ derivatives represent useful probes for the β-IFN receptor.
