Summary On t.l.c. plates 125I-cholera toxin binds to a disialoganglioside tentatively identified as GDlb with about 10 times less capacity than to ganglioside GM1. Binding of labeled toxin to both gangliosides was abolished in presence of excess amounts of unlabeled B subunit. Ganglioside extracts from human or pig intestinal mucosa showed toxin binding to gangliosides GM1 and GD1b. In ganglioside-containing lipid monolayers the penetration of the toxin was independent of the ganglioside binding capacity.Abbreviations GM2

Summary Soluble lead salts and a number of lead-containing minerals catalyze the formation of oligonucleotides from nucleoside 5-phosphorimidazolides. The effectiveness of lead compounds correlates strongly with their solubility. Under optimal conditions we were able to obtain 18% of pentamer and higher oligomers from ImpA. Reactions involving ImpU gave smaller yields.Abbreviations A

Summary The self-condensation of 2(3)-O-glycyl esters of adenosine, adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate in 6.2 mM solutions at pH 8.0 and -5°C in the presence of 12.5 mM poly(U) yields approximately 3 times as much diketopiperazine as reactions without poly(U). As the concentration of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate is decreased from 6.2 mM to 1.5 mM the yield of diketopiperazine in the presence of poly(U) decreases slightly from 6.6% to 5.2%, whereas, in the absence of poly(U) the yield of diketopiperazine decreases substantially from 2.4% to 0.75%. The enhanced yield of diketopiperazine that is attributed to the template action of poly(U) is temperature dependent and is observed only at temperatures below 10°C (5°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate) and below 23°C (15°C to -5°C) for 6.2 mM 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate. The absence of a template effect at high temperatures is attributed to the melting of the organized helices. The hydrolysis half-lives at pH 8.0 and -5°C of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine, 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine-5-(O-methylphosphate), 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-P1, P2-diadenosine-5-pyrophosphate, and 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) are substantially larger than their half-lives in the absence of poly(U). The condensation of 2(3)-O-(glycyl)-adenosine yields 5% of 5-O-(glycyl)-adenosine in the presence of poly(U) compared to 0.7% in the absence of poly(U).Abbreviations DKP

HLA-Bw62 is a serologically defined class I antigen specificity, but we show that it represents a family of five distinct alleles in this study. Five variants of HLA-Bw62 antigens were identified by isoelectric focusing, and sequencing studies revealed that these are a family of closely related alleles differing from one another by one to six amino acid substitutions at eight positions: 63 in the 1 domain and 94, 95, 97, 99, 113, 152, and 156 in the 2 domain. These substitutions are located in the two -helices and two adjacent -strands, and the side chains of most amino acids face into the antigen binding groove. Functional assays using an in vitro generated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific Bw62-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte clone indicated that the minimal structural variations located in the antigen binding sites of the HLA-Bw62 variant molecules could affect the presentation of the nominal EBV antigen. This study revealed that the HLA-Bw62 antigen family consists of at least five closely related alleles, and further demonstrated that these alleles with minimal structural variations might play distinct functional roles in regard to antigen presentation.The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to the GenBank nucleotide sequence database and have been assigned the accession number M83191–83195. 相似文献

Summary Ancymidol and flurprimidol were tested for their ability to induce in vitro rooting on axillary proliferated shoots of white pine (Pinus strobus L.). Shoots were treated for 30 days (pulse) with growth regulators, then subcultured to 0.5X medium for conifer morphogenesis without growth regulators. A pulse treatment containing 5 M ancymidol and 0.54 M naphthaleneacetic acid resulted in 43% rooted shoots, whereas a pulse treatment with 0.54 M naphthaleneacetic acid alone resulted in 7% root formation. Flurprimidol also stimulated rooting of white pine shoots, but was less effective than ancymidol. No detrimental effects on shoot growth were observed with the gibberellin synthesis inhibitors at the 5 M concentration used. Some rooted shoots were successfully acclimatized to the greenhouse.Abbreviations ancymidol

Fowl plague virus, strain Dutch, was metabolically labeled withd-[2-3H]mannose, or withd-[6-3H]glucosamine, and the small subunit (HA2; 0.8 mg in total) of the viral hemagglutinin was isolated by preparative sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After proteolytic digestion, the radioactive oligosaccharides were sequentially liberated from the glycopeptides by treatment with different endo--N-acetylglucosaminidases and with peptide:N-glycosidase or, finally, by hydrazinolysis. In this manner, four groups of glycans could be obtained by consecutive gel filtrations and were subfractionated by HPLC. The structures of the individual oligosaccharides were analyzed by micromethylation, by acetolysis or by digestion with exoglycosidases. The major species amongst the high mannose glycans at Ans-406 of the viral glycopolypeptide were found to be Man1-2Man1-3(Man1-2Man1-6)Man1-6(Man1-2Man1-2Man1-3)Man1-4GlcNac1-4GlcNAc and Man1-3(Man1-2Man1-6)Man1-6(Man1-2Man1-2Man1-3)Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc, while the complex glycans at Asn-478 are predominantly GlcNAc1-2Man1-3(GlcNAc1-2Man1-6)Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc (lacking, in part, one of the outerN-acetylglucosamine residues) and GlcNAc1-2Man1-3(Gal1-4GlcNAc1-2Man1-6)Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc.Abbreviation BSA

The quality of nucleic acid solution structures can be significantly improved using residual dipolar coupling data. However, many of the one-bond couplings that could be used for this purpose are difficult to measure. Conventional 2D experiments are often unable to reveal one-bond H2-C2 and H3-C3 couplings in large RNA molecules due to spectral overlap. Here we show how to use 3D HCcH-COSY and Relay HCcH-COSY to measure one-bond H2-C2 and H3-C3 couplings which improved the precision of the structures obtained recently for a 42 nucleotide RNA. 相似文献

The morphology of the respiratory system of the femaleVarroa jacobsoni (Oudemans, 1904) is described. The mobile, appendage-like, emergent peritreme may be raised to lie against the ventral integument or lowered between the third and fourth pair of legs. It is raised when the mite is submerged in the liquid food of the host's brood chamber, where respiration occurs via an external plastron, formed by an airfilm trapped between the rough cuticle of the ventral integument and the retracted legs. The peritreme is also raised when the mite is outside the hive in sub-saturated air, to reduce water vapour transpiration, and it is lowered in the carbon-dioxide-rich and water-saturated hive atmosphere, where it facilitates rapid removal of carbon dioxide. Thus gaseous exchange in the female mites may be adjusted by the position of the peritreme.Key to captions a

Cultured grape cells accumulate anthocyanins in vacuoles rather than secreting them into the nutrient medium. Therefore, grape cells that contain tonoplast segments in their plasmalemma should be capable of excreting anthocyanins rather than sequestering them in their vacuoles. In initial attempts to construct such novel cells, small vacuoles were fused with the plasmalemma of cultured plant cells. Protoplasts were isolated from grape calluses that produce and accumulate anthocyanins. Small vacuoles were formed by gently rupturing vacuoles isolated from grape protoplasts. Although small vacuoles and protoplasts became aligned in an AC field, the tonoplast and plasmalemma did not readily fuse when subjected to 3 DC pulses of 1200 V cm–1 for 50 s each. Changes in the intensity, number and/or duration of the DC pulses had no effect on the fusion process. When 1.0% polyethylene glycol was added to the electrofusion buffer, however, small vacuoles and protoplasts fused within a few minutes after the DC pulses were applied. These novel grape cells remained viable for several hours.Abbreviations BSA

Summary A mutant strain of Rhodococcus equi accumulates three metabolites from the androst-4-ene-3,17-dione or from its degradation intermediate, 3a-H-4(3'-propionic acid)-7a-methylhexahydro-1,5-indanedione (MEPHIP). These three metabolites are: 3a-H-4a(3'-propionic acid)-5-hydroxy-7a-methylhexahydro-1-indanone--lactone (HIL); 3a-H-4(3'-trans acrylic acid)-5-hydroxy-7a-methylhexahydro-1-indanone (2'-5-hydroxy-MEPHIP); and 3a-H-4(3'-hydroxy-3'-propionic acid)-5-hydroxy-7a-methylhexahydro-1-indanone (3'-hydroxy-HIL). The behaviour of this mutant allows us to propose a pathway for degradation of the intermediates, methylperhydroindanone propionates. However, during this degradation, the side-chain propionate was eliminated by a-oxidation mechanism.

Summary Detailed restriction enzyme analysis of the DNA from a Chinese female showed that one of her chromosomes had a >17.5 kb deletion of DNA, including the , 2, and 1 globin genes, which is present in many Southeast Asians with an -thalassemia-1 chromosome. Her normal chromosome had the expected cluster of -like globin genes (5----2-1-3), but the segment of DNA between the two globin genes was elongated by some 0.5–0.7 kb. Analyses of various restriction sites suggested that this normal variant of the human globin gene complex is due to a crossover between a normal chromosome with () and a chromosome with an -thalassemia-2 (–3.7) and an -21-hybrid gene. 相似文献

Newborn rat adrenocortical cells were successfully cultured in a serum free carrier protein free medium (SPFM) by using -cyclodextrin as a cholesterol carrier and have expressed corticosteroid biosynthesis in this medium. A stable inclusion complex of cholesterol--cyclodextrin with a molar ratio of almost 1 was obtained for a 5 × 10–5 mol/1 -cyclodextrin concentration. Cell cultures incubated with [4-14C] cholesterol--cyclodextrin in SPFM produced, under ACTH stimulation, various 14C labeled steroids with a predominance of corticosterone and 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone. As measured by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, the ratio between corticosteroids (21-hydroxylated steroids) and 20-reduced steroids produced in SPFM with cholesterol--cyclodextrin was equal to 1.8. This corresponds to a value of 3.6 times higher than that found in the serum free medium with cholesterol-albumin. Consequently, the chemically defined SPFM with cholesterol--cyclodextrin used in this study is more suitable for corticosteroidogenesis by adrenal cells in culture than a serum free medium with cholesterol-albumin.Abbreviations -CD

The occurrence of adenosine 5-triphosphate-3-diphosphate-synthesizing activity was detected in five strains of actinomycetes; Streptomyces morookaensis, Streptomyces aspergilloides, Streptomyces hachijoensis, Actinomyces violascens and Streptoverticillium septatum, out of 825 strains of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and imperfecti. Purine nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase were extracellularly excreted associating with the cell growth, and were purified partially or to apparent homogeniety from the culture filtrate. The enzymes are a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 18000–26000 and synthesize adenosine, guanosine and inosine 5-phosphate (mono, di or tri)-3-diphosphate such as pApp, ppApp, pppApp, pGpp, ppGpp, pppGpp and pppIpp by transferring a pyrophosphoryl group from the 5-position of ATP, dATP and pppApp to the 3-position of purine nucleotides in the presence of a divalent cation and in alkaline state.Abbreviations pppApp

Summary One hundred and twenty-two varieties, lines and wild accessions of Lycopersicon were screened under three different regimes during the autumn/winter season of 1982–83 and 1983–84 for resistance to tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV). L. hirsutum f. glabratum (B6013) and L. hirsutum f. typicum (A1904) proved to be highly resistant to TLCV in all three environments. Various accessions of L. peruvianum were also highly resistant. L. pimpinellifolium (A1921) exhibited no TLCV symptoms within 90 days. Of the cultivated varieties, Acc 99 exhibited the minimim score for susceptibility; AC 142, Collection No. 2, Kalyanpur Angurlata and HS 101 had a low rating for virus incidence. The inheritance of resistance was studied in the interspecific crosses between a TLCV resistant line of L. pimpinellifolium (A1921) and five (HS 101, HS 102, HS 110, Pusa Ruby and Punjab Chhuhara) susceptible cultivars of L. esculentum. Parents, F1, F2 and backcross progenies were artificially inoculated with local strains of TLCV using vector the viruliferious whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.). Data indicated that the resistance of L. pimpinellifolium (A 1921) is monogenic and incompletely dominant over susceptibility. 相似文献

Summary Amino acids are activated by reaction with adenosine 5-phosphorimidazolide in aqueous imidazole buffers. If adenosine 5-(O-methylphosphate), an analogue of the 3-terminus of t-RNA is present, 2(3)-O-aminoacyladenosine 5-(O-methylphosphate) is formed. Fifteen percent of this compound accumulated at pH 5.8, but less was formed at higher pHs. The highest efficiency of utilization of ImpA attained in our experiments was about 24%. Analogous reactions occured with several other amino acids, including a number that have functional side-chains.Abbreviations pA

sThe hydrolysis of several esters catalyzed by lipase of Candida rugosa was used to analyse the interaction between the ester substrate and the active site and the geometry and steric restrictions of alk, ar and h subsites. Using 4-R-C H -CH(R)-COOEt and ethyl trans-cinnamate, the presence of a low electronic density zone in the ar pocket is described, the dimensions of the pocket produced by Phe-296 and Leu-297 in the alk subsite and the size of the h subsite are described. 相似文献

Summary An epidermolytic toxin target was observed in keratohyalin granules of sectioned epidermis by a direct fluorescence procedure using FTC-toxin, but not by an indirect procedure using sequential reaction with toxin, anti-toxin and FTC-secondary antibody. The investigation of the two procedures was extended to keratinocytes. A dispase digestion procedure yielded three fractions which corresponded to basal, spinous and granular cells according to biochemical and morphological criteria. It was shown that the direct and indirect procedures both detected the toxin target in the keratohyalin granules of granular cells, but that the indirect procedure was very insensitive. In control experiments, the profilaggrin of keratohyalin granules was detected readily in cells by a direct procedure using FTC-antiprofilaggrin but only weakly by an indirect double antibody procedure. Insensitivity to indirect procedures thus appears to be a particular property of the keratohyalin granule site. It was shown that the toxin target was readily accessible in permeable (trypsin-isolated) granular cells but inaccessible in impermeable (dispase-isolated) cells. 相似文献

Differences in the nature of the gangliosides present in two types of Ehrlich ascites tumour (EAT) cells, the adherent and non-adherent EAT cells, were studied. Gangliosides were isolated by DEAE Sephadex column chromatography and analysed by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). The non-adherent EAT (na-EAT) cells which grow in the peritoneal cavity of mice were selected for growth on basement membrane and tissue culture plastic to give the adherent EAT (a-EAT) cells. na-EAT cells contained 1.57 nmol lipid-bound sialic acid per mg protein and at least 12 different gangliosides, including major gangliosides such as GM3, GM2, GM1, GD3, GD1a and GT1b. On the other hand, the ganglioside pattern of a-EAT cells differed significantly from that of na-EAT cells, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The content of lipid-bound sialic acid in a-EAT cells was only 0.24 nmol per mg of protein. The gangliosides in a-EAT cells were characterized as GD1a and trisialogangliosides and, significantly, a-EAT cells did not contain monosialogangliosides. Neutral glycolipids were isolated from both cell lines and their patterns were compared. In contrast to the gangliosides pattern, their neutral glycolipid patterns were similar. Glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide were the major components in both types of cells. In addition to na- and a-EAT cells, a-EAT cells were passaged in mice by intraperitoneal injection, giving rise to a third variant (c/m EAT cells). We analysed the gangliosides in c/m EAT cells to determine whether there was a change in the ganglioside pattern found in na-EAT cells. After repeated passage of c/m EAT cells in mice, the pattern of gangliosides shifted to that of na-EAT cells. Alterations of ganglioside composition may be associated with the growth environment of the murine peritoneal cavity; alternatively, a selection process may have occurred.Abbreviations EAT cells

An extensive phylogenetic analysis of the nicotinic-acetylcholine-receptor subunit gene family has been performed by cladistic and phenetic methods. The conserved parts of amino acid sequences have been analyzed by CLUSTAL V and PHYLIP software. The structure of the genes was also taken in consideration. The results show that a first gene duplication may have occurred before the appearance of Bilateria. Three subfamilies then appeared: I-the neuronal -bungarotoxin binding-site subunits (7, 8); III-the neuronal nicotinic subunits (2–6, 2–4), which also contain the muscle acetylcholine-binding subunit (1); and IV—the muscle non- subunits (1, , ). The Insecta subunits (subfamily II) could be orthologous to family III and IV. Several tissular switches of expression from neuron to muscle and the converse can be inferred from the extant expression of subunits and the reconstructed trees. The diversification of the neuronal nicotinic subfamily begins in the stem lineage of chordates, the last duplications occurring shortly before the onset of the mammalian lineage. Such evolution parallels the increase in complexity of the cholinergic systems.Abbreviations -Bgt
