Karyotype instability with multiple 7/14 and 7/7 rearrangements

Summary Chromosomes were studied in a mentally retarded boy with microcephaly, growth retardation, facial erythema, café-au-lait spots, and IgA deficiency. In the lymphocytes there was a remarkable tendency to exchange parts of the chromosomes Nos. 7 and 14, the translocations almost exclusively taking place in bands 7p13, 7q32 and 14q11. Seven different types of rearrangements between Nos. 7 and 14, and some other chromosomal aberrations were found. No abnormalities could be detected in the bone marrow. The patient somewhat resembles those affected with ataxia-telangiectasia or with Bloom's syndrome, but on clinical and cytogenetic grounds these disorders could be excluded.7/14 Translocations similar to those found in our patient's lymphocytes have been reported to occur very rarely in the lymphocyte cultures of individuals with apparently normal chromosome constitution. A relationship between these phenomena may exist.     

Duplex Stability of Oligonucleotides Containing 7-Substituted 7-Deaza- and 8-Aza-7-Deazapurine Nucleosides

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of CMP-N-acetyl-7-fluoro-7-deoxy-neuraminic acid

7-Fluoro sialic acid was prepared and activated as cytidine monophosphate (CMP) ester. The synthesis started with d-glucose, which was efficiently converted into N-acetyl-4-fluoro-4-deoxy-d-mannosamine. Aldolase catalyzed transformation yielded the corresponding fluorinated sialic acid which was activated as CMP ester using three different synthetases in the presence as well as in the absence of pyrophosphatase which possesses inhibitory properties. Finally, conditions were optimized to perform a one-pot reaction starting from fluorinated mannosamine, which yielded the 7-fluoro-7-deoxy-CMP-sialic acid by incubation with three enzymes.     

Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7)

Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7) is a progressive autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by cerebellar ataxia associated with progressive macular dystrophy. The disease affects primarily the cerebellum and the retina, but also many other CNS structures as the disease progresses. SCA7 is caused by expansion of an unstable trinucleotide CAG repeat encoding a polyglutamine tract in the corresponding protein, ataxin-7. Normal SCA7 alleles contain 4-35 CAG repeats, whereas pathological alleles contain from 36-306 CAG repeats. SCA7 has a number of features in common with other diseases with polyglutamine expansions: (i) the appearance of clinical symptoms above a threshold number of CAG repeats (>35); (ii) a correlation between the size of the expansion and the rate of progression of the disease: the larger the repeat, the faster the progression; (iii) instability of the repeat sequence (approximately 12 CAG/transmission) that accounts for the marked anticipation of approximately 20 years/generation. The CAG repeat sequence is particularly unstable and de novo mutations can occur during paternal transmissions of intermediate size alleles (28-35 CAG repeats). This can explain the persistence of the disease in spite of the anticipation that should have resulted in its extinction.     

Oxysterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity by cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A)

A 7 alpha-hydroxylation is necessary for conversion of both cholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol into bile acids. According to current theories, cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A) is responsible for the former and oxysterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7B) for the latter reaction. CYP7A is believed to have a very high substrate specificity whereas CYP7B is active toward oxysterols, dehydroepiandrosterone, and pregnenolone. In the present study, 7 alpha-hydroxylation of various oxysterols in liver and kidney was investigated. Surprisingly, human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, CYP7A, expressed as a recombinant in Escherichia coli and COS cells, was active toward 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol. This enzyme has previously been thought to be specific for cholesterol and cholestanol. A partially purified and reconstituted cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase enzyme fraction from pig liver showed 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity toward the same oxysterols as metabolized by expressed recombinant human and rat CYP7A. The 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity toward 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol in rat liver was significantly increased by treatment with cholestyramine, an inducer of CYP7A. From the present results it may be concluded that CYP7A is able to function as an oxysterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, in addition to the previously known human oxysterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, CYP7B. These findings may have implications for oxysterol-mediated regulation of gene expression and for pathways of bile acid biosynthesis. A possible use of 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol as a marker substrate for CYP7A is proposed.

Biophysical and antisense properties of oligodeoxynucleotides containing 7-propynyl-, 7-iodo- and 7-cyano-7-deaza-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenosines.

The synthesis of 7-propynyl-, 7-iodo- and 7-cyano-7-deaza-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenosines is described. The nucleosides were synthesized, functionalized into the phosphoramidites and incorporated into oligodeoxynucleotides. Spectroscopic melting experiments against complementary RNA showed increases of 3-4 degreesC per modification for single substitutions and smaller increases per incorporation for multiple substitutions relative to unmodified control sequences. The 7-propyne and 7-iodo nucleosides were incorporated into antisense sequences targeting the 3'-UTR of murine C- raf mRNA. Both nucleosides demonstrated substitution-dependent potency. The sequences with three and four substitutions of the 7-propyne-7-deaza-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine exhibited a 2-3-fold increase in potency over unmodifed controls.     

Adsorption of Bacteriophage eb7 on Streptococcus cremoris EB7

When M17 broth was used as growth medium before preparation of cell walls, adsorption of phage eb7 on Streptococcus cremoris EB7 at pH 4.0 was stimulated. When preparation included treatment with trypsin, absorption of phage was 65%. Without trypsin treatment, absorption was 81%. Only 10 to 20% of the adsorption was irreversible. Treatment with pepsin or commercial rennet but not pure chymosin prevented adsorption on non-trypsin-treated cell walls. d-Galactosamine treatment of phage eb7 had an inactivating effect which was enhanced by l-rhamnose.
