Diospyros foliosa: the correct name for D. elliptica, and new combinations in Fijian and Samoan Diospyros (Ebenaceae)

The correct name in Diospyros L. (Ebenaceae) for a species from Tonga first described as Maba elliptica J. R. Forst. & G. Forst. and incorrectly known as D. elliptica (J. R. Forst. & G. Forst.) P. S. Green is D. foliosa (A. Gray) Bakh. In addition to the nominate variety, six additional varieties are recognised from Fiji and Samoa. As these varieties lack names under D. foliosa, the following new combinations are proposed: D. foliosa var. elliptica (J. R. Forst. & G. Forst.) Dorr, D. foliosa var. fijiensis (Bakh.) Dorr, D. foliosa var. fructuosa (A. C. Sm.) Dorr, D. foliosa var. iridea (Fosberg) Dorr, D. foliosa var. opaca (A. C. Sm.) Dorr, and D. foliosa var. savaiiensis (Christoph.) Dorr.

Mode of action and substrate specificities of cellulases from cloned bacterial genes

Three recombinant plasmids, pEC1, pEC2, and pEC3, each containing a unique Cellulomonas fimi chromosomal DNA insert, expressed Cm-cellulase activities in Escherichia coli C600 (Whittle, D. J., Kilburn, D. H., Warren, R. A. J., and Miller, R. C., Jr. (1982) Gene (Amst.) 17, 139-145; Gilkes, N. R., Kilburn, D. G., Langsford, M. L., Miller, R. C., Jr., Wakarchuk, W. W., Warren, R. A. J., Whittle, D. J., and Wong, W. K. R. (1984) J. Gen. Microbiol. 130, 1377-1384). Viscometric and chemical analyses showed that the enzymes encoded by pEC2 and pEC3 behaved as endoglucanases, whereas that encoded by pEC1 behaved as an exoglucanase. The activities of the exoglucanase and the pEC2-encoded endodglucanase were additive on Cm-cellulose as substrate. The pEC1-encoded enzyme also hydrolyzed xylan and p-nitrophenyl cellobioside. Two substrate-bound Cm-cellulases were isolated from the residual cellulose in a C. fimi culture by guanidine hydrochloride elution, affinity chromatography, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both were glycoproteins of apparent Mr = 58,000 and 56,000, respectively. The 56-kDa enzyme appeared to be identical with the pEC1-encoded product, suggesting that they arise from the same gene.

Reactivity of chemically cross-linked fibrinogen and its fragments D toward the staphylococcal clumping receptor

It has been established that the binding domain for the staphylococcal clumping receptor exists in fragment D of human fibrinogen [Hawiger J., Timmons, S., Strong, D. D., Cottrell, B. A., Riley, M., & Doolittle, R. F. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 1407; Strong, D. D., Laudano, A., Hawiger, J., & Doolittle, R. F. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 1414]. To examine the role of valency in the adhesive function of fibrinogen, its fragments were prepared by digestion with plasmin in the presence of calcium and purified by a two-step chromatographic procedure. Fragments D1 and E did not induce the staphylococcal clumping reaction. After they were prepared in oligomeric form by chemical cross-linking with glutaraldehyde, fragment D1 (Mr 94,000) became functionally reactive toward the staphylococcal clumping receptor, and fragment D3 (Mr 75,000) and fragment E (Mr 50,000) remained inactive. Fragment D dimer derived from enzymatic cross-linking was not reactive. Human fibrinogen cross-linked with glutaraldehyde usually reached a 250 times higher reactivity toward the staphylococcal clumping receptor, depending on the condition of the cross-linking reaction. It is concluded that the valency of fibrinogen in regard to its receptor binding domain and the availability of this domain are essential for the staphylococcal clumping reaction.
