Both chloroplastic and cytosolic phosphoglycerate kinase isozymes are present in the pea leaf nucleus

Summary. Phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2.7.2.3) occurs in chloroplasts, cytosol, and nuclei in higher plants. Immunocytolocalization experiments with isozyme-specific antibodies indicate that both the chloroplastic and the cytosolic forms of the enzyme are present in the pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaf nucleus.Correspondence and reprints: Department of Biological Sciences m/c 066, University of Illinois–Chicago, 845 West Taylor, Chicago, IL 60607-7060, U.S.A.

A neural circuit which exhibits some features of epileptic attacks

A neural model based on a generalization of a model proposed in 1938 in the first edition of the author'sMathematical Biophysics (Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press) is described. It possesses the property that due to some endogenous or exogenous stimulus, which may be of random nature, a pathway may suddenly begin to fire spontaneously. This spontaneous firing may either gradually spread over other pathways and eventually cease, or it may remain localized within one or a few pathways and then cease. Which of the two types of events occurs depends on the values of a number of parameters. The case of spreading reminds one of Jacksonian epilepsy.

Summary. Immunolocalization experiments indicate that both the subunit B of the NADP-linked chloroplastic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.13) and the NAD-linked cytosolic enzyme (EC 1.2.1.12) are present in the pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaf nucleus. Subunit A of the NADP-linked enzyme appears to be restricted to the chloroplast.Correspondence and reprints: Department of Biological Sciences m/c 066, University of Illinois-Chicago, 845 West Taylor, Chicago, IL 60607-7060, U.S.A.

In other words: external modifiers in Georgian

This paper addresses the issue of stranded modifiers and null heads through two otherwise unrelated constructions in Georgian. In each construction, a word in the oblique form modifies part of the complex word following it. It is shown that null modifiers in Georgian have a form different from that of the modifiers in the constructions at issue, and the latter cannot have null heads. However, Baker’s [Baker, M. C. (1988). Incorporation: A theory of grammatical function changing. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.] alternative approach is not easily compatible with the derivational morphology of these examples. I propose an analysis of external modifiers in terms of Beard [Beard, R. (1991). Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, 9, 195–229.], which addresses other bracketing paradoxes by permitting “the semantic features of an attribute [to] subjoin with one and only one semantic feature of its head” (1991: 208). In this way I suggest a unified analysis of noun incorporation and derived structures, drawing on a mechanism that must be included in the grammar for non-derived words as well.
