Females of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata, prefer sucrose solutions containing ribonucleotides to sucrose solutions without them. The order of preference for the nucleotides was: 5GMP>GTP>5CMP>5IMP >dGMP>5UMP>5AMP>5XMP=ATP=2 & 3GMP=RP>3AMP.2AMP, guanosine, inosine, adenine and 5TMP produced no significant stimulation. Females sterilized by irradiation showed reduced attraction to 5GMP as compared to non-irradiated females.Optimal molecular configuration for phagostimulation includes: phosphorylation at the 5 position of the ribose, free hydroxyl groups at 2 and 3 on the ribose, and an NH2 group at the 2 position of the aromatic ring of purine.It is proposed that the 5GMP in yeast hydrolyzate can be used as a measure of the suitability of the hydrolyzate as a bait.

Résumé La femelle de la mouche méditerranéenne des fruits, Ceratitis capitata, préfère les solutions de sucrose contenant des ribonucléotides aux simples solutions de sucrose. Lórdre de préférence pour les nucléotides est le suivant: 5GMP>GTP>5CMP>5IMP >dGMP>5UMP>5AMP>5XMP=ATP =2 & 3GMP=RP>3AMP.Le 2AMP, la guanosine, l'inosine, l'adénine et le 5TMP provoquent une stimulation significative. Les femelles montrent aprés stérilisation par irradiation une attirance réduite pour le 5GMP par comparaison avec les femelles non-irradiées.La configuration moléculaire optimale pour la phagostimulation comprend: la phosphorylation en position 5 du ribose; des groupes hydroxyles libres en 2 et 3 sur le ribose; et un groupe NH2 en position 2 sur le noyau aromatique.Nous proposons que le 5GMP dans l'hydrolysat de levure puisse être utilisé pour mesurer la capacité de l'hydrolysat comme appât.

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

Summary The active sites of actin of oneCharaceae species were found to interact with the endoplasmic factor from a different species. Protoplasm was suqueezed out of cells ofChara australis with vacuoles that had been perfused beforehand with a medium containing EGTA and Mg · ATP. Centrifugation of this protoplasmic mixture divided it into the supernatant composed of endoplasmic granules and the precipitate composed of chloroplasts and nuclei. When the endoplasmic granular aggregates were introduced into a tonoplast-freeNitella axilliformis cell treated with NEM to inactivate the endoplasmic factor, they became attached to theNitella gel and streamed longitudinally with the polarity. Treatment of the endoplasmic granules with the strong Mg2+chelator CyDTA (1,2-cyclohexane diamineN, N-tetraacetic acid) irreversibly inhibited reconstitution of the cytoplasmic streaming.Abbreviations APW

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

Crude Ca2+-activated protein kinase from membranes of apple (Malus domestica L. Borkh., Cox's Orange Pippin) fruit can be partially purified to yield a Ca2+-dependent protein kinase whose activity is apparently not regulated by calmodulin. The autophosphorylating catalytic subunit of this protein kinase shows a Ca2+-dependent mobility shift of approx. 10 kilodaltons (kDa) on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; in the absence of added Ca2+ or ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) its apparent molecular mass is approx. 50 kDa. The Ca2+-dependent protein kinase is inhibited by the calmodulin antagonists N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulphonamide and trifluoperazine with IC50 values of approx. 45 M and 15 M, respectively. These similarities between the protein kinase and calmodulin indicate that the kinase may be a calmodulin-like protein.Abbreviations DEAE

Summary We have studied the reactions between adenosine 5-phosphorimidazolide and 9-(2-amino-2-deoxyxylofuranosyl) adenine (I) or 3-methylamino-3-deoxyadenosine (II), both with and without a poly (U) template. We find that both amino compounds react much more rapidly than does adenosine, in the absence of a template. The rate of reaction is greatly enhanced by a poly (U) template in the case of I, but the enhancement is slight in the case of II.Abbreviations A

Roots of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) seedlings contained only a very low activity of adenosine 5-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase compared to the cotyledons. Adenosine 5-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase activity increased about tenfold in cotyledons during greening. Preparation of organelle fractions from spinach leaves by a combination of differential and isopycnic density gradient centrifugation showed that adenosine 5-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase banded with NADP-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, a marker enzyme for intact chloroplasts. In the fractions of peroxisomes, mitochondria and broken chloroplasts virtually no adenosine 5-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase activity was measured. Comparison with the chloroplast enzyme NADP-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase indicates that in spinach, adenosine 5-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase is localized almost exclusively in the chloroplasts.Abbreviations APS

Summary Different fixation techniques were employed to obtain satisfactory fixation of the endoplasm ofStentor coeruleus for ultrastructural investigations. The nuclei ofS. coeruleus are surrounded by a flattened fenestrated cisterna. The space between the nuclear envelope and the cisterna (= perinuclear space) is continuous with the cytoplasm via channels. The envelopes of both, micronucleus and macronucleus, are connected to the fenestrated cisterna by filamentous material. This organization accounts for the close association between micronucleus and macronucleus inStentor coeruleus. The fenestrated cisterna is compared to similar structures occurring in other organisms, and its possible function is discussed.Abbreviations fC

Summary Short oligocytidylates can act as templates for the self-condensation of guanosine 5-phosphorimidazolide. In the absence of a catalytic metal ion or in the presence of Pb2+ a noticeable template effect is already observed with the dimer and the yield of long oligomers reaches a plateau with a hexamer template. Short templates give oligomers longers than the template length. The products are predominantly 2-5 linked for the Pb2+-catalyzed reaction while mixed linkages are observed in the uncatalyzed reaction.In the presence of Zn2+, a template effect is first observed with the pentamer and is maximal by the heptamer. The products are predominantly 3-5 linked. Oligomers shorter than or as long as the template are obtained in substantial yield, and longer products in much lower yields.Abbreviations G

The white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium metabolized 4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl-glycerol--guaiacyl ether (V) in low nitrogen, stationary cultures under which conditions the ligninolytic enzyme system is expressed. 4-Ethoxy-3-methoxyphenylglycerol XIII, guaicol and 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (II) were isolated as metabolic products. Exogenously added XIII was rapidly converted to 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol indicating that it is an intermediate in the metabolism of V. P. chrysosporium also metabolized 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-3-hydroxypropane VI. The degradation pathway for this dimer also included initial -ether cleavage and -hydroxylation of the diol product 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl) 2,3 dihydroxypropane (XI) to yield the triol XIII which was cleaved at the , bond to yield 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol. Finally P. chrysosporium also cleaved the dimer 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-hydroxypropane (VIII) at the -ether linkage yielding 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl) 1,2 dihydroxypropane (IX) which was subsequently cleaved at the , bond to yield II. All of the results indicate that oxidative -ether cleavage is an important initial reaction in the metabolism of -aryl ether lignin substructure dimeric compounds. Metabolities were identified after comparison with chemically synthesized standards by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.Abbreviations GLC

A protein kinase that phosphorylates histones and polysomal proteins was partially purified from mouse liver cytosol. The active enzyme has a molecular mass of 100 kDa and a phosphorylatable subunit of 54 kDa. Biochemical as well as immunological data suggest that the enzyme is a heterodimer composed of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and the RII regulatory subunit. This RC form does not seem to dissociate upon activation with 3, 5 cyclic AMP and exhibits identical specificity as the classical cAMP-dependent protein kinase (2.7.1.37). The enzyme is affected by the 3, 5 cyclic phosphates of adenosine mainly, but also of guanosine, uridine and cytidine in a substrate-dependent manner. Cyclic nucleotides slightly stimulate phosphate incorporation into histones, while phosphorylation of polysomal proteins in intact polysomes is dramatically increased. The substrate- specific stimulatory effects of 3, 5 cyclic nucleotides are due to repression of the inhibition exerted upon the reaction, by negatively charged macromolecules such as RNA, DNA and to a lesser extent heparin. 相似文献

The six binary montmorillonite clay-catalyzed reactions of the5-phosphorimidazolides of adenosine, cytidine, guanosine anduridine were performed and the eight dimers from each reactionwere separated and analyzed by HPLC. A 16–51-fold higher yieldof the 5-purine-pyrimidine dimers over that of the5-pyrimidine-purines was observed. The total yield of the5-purine-pyrimidine dimers was in the 50–70% range while thatof the 5-pyrimidine-purine dimers was 1.3–7.0%. Less sequenceselectivity was observed in the homodimers formed.Regioselectivity for the formation of 3, 5-phosphodiesterbonds over that found in the absence of clay was observed. The5-purine-pyrimidine, 5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine and5-purine-purine dimers had 3, 5-links in about half of theirphosphodiester bonds. The percent phosphodiester links in the5-pyrimidine-pyrimidine dimers was 18%, a value close to thatobserved in the absence of the montmorillonite catalyst. Themontmorillonite-catalyzed reaction of all four activatednucleotides was performed and the 24 products were separated andanalyzed. The trends observed in the binary reactions wereconfirmed and the results also showed that the relativereactivity of the activated monomers was A>G>C>U in theratio 8.2: 4.8: 1.3: 1 respectively. No 5-pyrimidine-purineswith a 5-U and pG3pU, pC3pAand pC3pG weredetected. These studies suggest that a limited population ofRNAs would have formed in catalyzed prebiotic reactions. 相似文献

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 signal-transduction system that mediates the melanosome-aggregating response in melanophores of the black-moor goldfish, Carassius auratus, was investigated by examining the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity mediated by -adrenoceptors in cultured cells. When the melanophores were incubated with 1 mmol·l-1 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine for 5 min, the intracellular level of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate increased two- to three-fold. Norepinephrine at 100 nmol·l-1 and naphazoline at 1 mol·l-1 inhibited the 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine-induced accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate in the cells in both the presence and the absence of isoproterenol, a -adrenergic agonist. Methoxamine and phenylephrine also reduced the extent of accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate, but only when they were present at relatively high concentrations (above 100 mol·l-1). The range of concentrations at which norepinephrine inhibited the accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate was consistent with the range at which it induced the aggregation of melanosomes. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (1 g·ml-1) for 15 h or treatment with 100 nmol·l-1 yohimbine (an 2-adrenergic antagonist) inhibited the effects of the -adrenergic agonists on both the aggregation of melanosomes and the 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine-induced accumulation of cyclic adenosine-3,5-monophosphate, but prazosin (an 1adrenergic antagonist) at 100 nmol·l-1 was not inhibitory. These results indicate that the melanosome-aggregating response of the goldfish melanophore is induced mainly via inhibition of the activity of adenylate cyclase, which occurs as result of stimulation of a pathway that involves 1adrenergic and a inhibitory GTP-binding protein.Abbreviations A-kinase

Summary (3H)DIDS (4,4-diisothiocyano-2,2-ditritiostilbene-disulfonate) was used as a convalent label for membrane sites involved in anion permeability. The label binds to a small, superficially located population of sites, about 300,000 per cell, resulting in almost complete inhibition of anion exchange. The relationship of biding to inhibition is linear suggesting that binding renders each site nonfunctional. In the inhibitory range less than 1% of the label is associated with lipids but at higher concentrations of DIDS, the fraction may be as high as 4%. In ghosts, however, treatment with (3H)DIDS results in extensive labeling of lipids. In cells, a protein fraction that behavens on SDS acrylamide gels as thought its molecular weight is 95,000 daltons (95K) is predominatly labeled by (3H)DIDS. The only other labeled protein is the major sialoglycoprotein which contains less than, 5% of the total bound (3H)DIDS. Because of the linear relationship of binding to inhibition and the unique architecture of the site, it is suggested that the (3H)DIDS-binding site of the 95K protein is the substrate binding site of the anion transport system. The 95K protein is asymmetrically arranged in the membrane with the sites arranged on the outer face accessible to agent in the medium. In leaky ghost, only a few additional binding sites can be reached from the inside of the membrane in the 95K protein, in contrast to the extensive labeling of other membrane proteins in ghosts as compared to cells.Abbreviations DADS

The enzymatic conversion of formaldehyde to CH3S-CoM in crude extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was used as a means to investigate the methyl-tetrahydromethanopterin: HS-CoM methyltransferase reaction. All components necessary for formaldehyde conversion were shown to be present in a soluble protein fraction. This soluble cell fraction still contained a major amount of corrinoids. Apart from tetrahydromethanopterin no other soluble cofactors were required for formaldehyde conversion. The dependence of the system on catalytic amounts of ATP was shown to be specific. Several nucleoside triphosphates or ADP were unable to substitute for ATP. Remarkably, various strong reducing systems, especially titanium(III)citrate could replace ATP to a large extent. The ATP-dependent formaldehyde conversion to CH3S-CoM was inhibited in the presence of nitrous oxide, detergents or 2,3-dialdehyde-ATP. The results support a role for a corrinoid protein in the methyl-tetrahydromethanopterin: HS-CoM methyltransferase reaction at which ATP is involved in the activation of this protein, probably in the conversion of inactive B12a or B12r to active B12s.Abbreviations HS-CoM

Strain B51 capable of degrading polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was isolated from soil contaminated with wastes from the chemical industry. Based on its morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, the strain was identified as a Microbacterium sp. Experiments with washed cells showed that strain B51 is able to degrade ortho- and para-substituted mono-, di-, and trichlorinated biphenyls (MCB, DCB, and TCB, respectively). Unlike the known PCB degraders, Microbacterium sp. B51 is able to oxidize the ortho-chlorinated ring of 2,2-DCB and 2,4-DCB and the para-chlorinated ring of 4.4-DCB. The degradation of 2,4-DCB and 4,4-DCB was associated with the accumulation of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4-CBA) in the medium in amounts comprising 80–90% of the theoretical yield. The strain was able to utilize 2-MCB, 2,2-DCB, and their intermediate 2-CBA and to oxidize the mono(ortho)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,2-TCB and the di(ortho-para)-chlorinated ring of 2,4,4-TCB. A mixed culture of Microbacterium sp. B51 and the 4-CBA-degrading bacterium Arthrobacter sp. H5 was found to grow well on 1 g/l 2,4-DCB as the sole source of carbon and energy. 相似文献

Protein kinase C inhibitors, such a calphostin C, abolish the transient nature of pheromone-induced rapid inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) responses, suggesting that pheromone signalling is terminated by phosphorylation of specific proteins. Challenging antennal preparations fromHeliothis virescens with species-specific pheromones in the presence of [32P]--ATP led to a rapid, stimulus-dependent incorporation of32Pi into antennal proteins. Pheromone-induced phosphorylation was completely abolished by a blockade of protein kinase C. Electrophoretic analysis revealed that upon stimulation with a pheromone blend two polypeptide bands were labelled; stimulation solely with the major compound (Z-11-hexadecenal) resulted in only a single labelled band. The data indicate that pheromones cause phosphorylation of specific antennal proteins which may be receptors for pheromones.Abbreviations ATP

Summary The ability of two bacterial toxins to modify a plant actin by covalent ADP-ribosylation was tested in the green algaChara corallina. Using [32P]NAD, bothClostridium botulinum C2 toxin andClostridium perfringens iota toxin labelled a protein of Mr 42 kDa which comigrated with actin and was immunoprecipitated by a monoclonal anti-actin antibody. ADP-ribosylation ofChara actin was more efficient with iota toxin than with C2 toxin. The actin bundles in perfusedChara cells were not affected by toxin-containing media competent for ADP-ribosylation. The data indicate that monomeric plant actin is substrate for ADP-ribosylation by the bacterial toxins.Abbreviations ADP
