This paper comments on: Low, B. S., Alexander, R. D., and Noonan, K.M. Human hips, breast, and buttocks: Is fat deceptive? Ethology and Sociobiology 8: 249-247, 1987. In it I argue that:
- 1.1. Sexual selection has probably not been the most important selection pressure on
- 2.female human body shape.
- 3.2. Male humans in different cultures find different aspects of the female body attractive
- 4.and therefore are unlikely to have exerted consistent directional sexual selection on
- 5.the female body.
- 6.3. Breast size is not correlated with lactation success.
- 7.4. Visible hip width is not correlated with parturition success.
- 8.5. Women would lower their fitness if they tried to deceive men about their internal
- 9.pelvic dimensions.
- 10.6. There are many alternative hypothesis to explain the existence of fat onwomen's
- 11.breast, hips, and buttocks.

- 1.1. Among the digestive enzymes synthesized by pancreas, lipase is the principle lipolytic enzyme which hydrolyses dietary glycerides.
- 2.2. For its action it requires a coenzyme, colipase.
- 3.3. The molecular mechanisms of the interaction of these two are not fully understood.
- 4.4. Further, molecular events that regulate and influence lipid absorption are ill denned.
- 5.5. The rabbit is the conventional animal model for the study of lipid absorption. We have undertaken the molecular cloning, and characterization of rabbit pancreatic colipase, the coenzyme for pancreatic lipase.
- 6.6. Colipase has been cloned from a gt 11 library of an adult rabbit pancreatic cDNA by probing with an oligonucleotide derived from human colipase sequence.
- 7.7. The total reading frame consists of 321 nucleotides coding for 90 amino acids of the functional protein and 17 nucleotides of the leader peptide.
- 8.8. Northern blot analysis revealed a distinct band around 0.5kb. Comparison with other species revealed an over all homology of 75% at the nucleotide level.
- 9.9. At the amino acid level highest conservation is observed at the lipase-binding region (AA 53–73).
- 10.10. Rabbit enzyme also retained the N-terminal pentapeptide of it preform.
- 11.11. The regions of homology and conservation may aid to define the sites of interaction of colipase with lipase.

- 3.3. The results indicate that another protein component binds to the enzyme at pH 8.0.
- 4.4. The homogeneity of the enzyme has been demonstrated by gel electrophoresis in the absence as well as in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate.
- 5.5. A mol. wt of 40,100±1800 has been calculated from gel electrophores is experiments.

- 1.1. Human placental alkaline phosphatase was inactivated with tetranitromethane in a biphasic process.
- 2.2. Spectral and amino acid analysis demonstrated that the inactivation was due to the conversion of tyrosine residues to 3-nitrotyrosine.
- 3.3. The inactivation process showed saturation kinetics.
- 4.4. Protection of the enzyme against tetranitromethane inactivation was afforded by inorganic phosphate.
- 5.5. The binding affinity between the modified enzyme and inorganic phosphate was decreased.
- 6.6. Our results suggest the involvement of tyrosyl residues in the locus of phosphoryl site of the phosphorylated enzyme forms.

- 1.1. Two vitellogenins and chromoprotein 2 are selectively accumulated by the oocyte and cannot be detected either in follicle cells or in the germarium.
- 2.2. At the start of their accumulation in terminal oocytes they are asymmetrically distributed.
- 3.3. Endocytosis of vitellogenin 1 starts somewhat later than the uptake of vitellogenin 2 and chromoprotein 2.
- 4.4. In follicle cells of young follicles, a protein (DLP), immunologically related to diapause protein 1, is highly concentrated.
- 5.5. During vitellogenesis DLP is sequestered by the oocytes.
- 6.6. The protein rich globules in terminal oocytes contain the vitellins as well as chromoprotein 2 and DLP.

- 1.1. To understand the physiological roles of the 90-kDa stress protein (HSP90), we investigated the heparin- and antibody-binding domains of the protein.
- 2.2. For heparin-binding sites, HSP90 was digested completely with trypsin, and the digests were applied to a heparin-Sepharose column and eluted with 1.0 M NaCl, followed by 8.0 M urea.
- 3.3. Each elutant was purified by a reverse-phase C18 column.
- 4.4. Two peptides from the NaCl-eluted fraction and no peptide from the urea-eluted fraction were purified.
- 5.5. The purified peptides were sequenced by an automated peptide sequencer.
- 6.6. One of the heparin-binding sites was present between Leu-362 and Arg-365; another was present between Leu-645 and Lys-648.
- 7.7. These two peptides were basic and considerably hydrophilic.
- 8.8. For antibody-binding sites, HSP90 was mildly digested with trypsin, electrophoresed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to PVDF membranes.
- 9.9. The four bound of the trypsin fragments could be sequenced with a peptide sequencer.
- 10.10. There was only one antibody-binding peptide, 38 kDa, starting from Pro-2. The others showed no cross-reactivity with the antibody and started from Leu-283.
- 11.11. Therefore, the epitopes of HSP90 are present between Pro-2 and Leu-282.
- 12.12. The heparin-binding sites are present from the middle region of the HSP90 molecule, and the antigen sites are at the N-terminal domain.

- 1.1. Vitellogenin (VG) was isolated and purified from the hemolymph of female American cockroaches.
- 2.2. The purification method used in this study comprises two steps: the first step is based on the method originally developed for purifying lipophorin from hemolymph, and the second step is the separation of VG from lipophorin by a KBr density gradient ultracentrifugation.
- 3.3. The purified VG was characterized according to molecular weight, substructure, shape and size, and lipid composition.
- 4.4. The VG molecule is almost globular in shape with the diameter of about 15.5 nm and is indistinguishable from lipophorin in shape and size.
- 5.5. The native molecular weight determined by light scattering method was 560 kDa.
- 6.6. The VG consists of four subunits with molecular weights of approximately 102, 81, 49 and 40 kDa, respectively.
- 7.7. VG is a lipoprotein and comprises 92% protein and 8% lipid.
- 8.8. Major lipid components were found to be diacylglycerol (25%) and phospholipids (71%).

- 1.1. Haemolymph volume decreases during the initial 16 hr post-ecdysial period, increases after water ingestion and subsequently drops until the inter-ecdysial level is reached.
- 2.2. Total body water follows a similar pattern, but the changes are not as pronounced.
- 3.3. Tissue water is inversely proportional to the total body water.
- 4.4. Soluble cuticle protein declines throughout the initial 16 hr period while both β-glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase activity is lost within 6 hr after ecdysis.
- 5.5. Dehydration of the cuticle also occurs during the immediate 6 hr post-ecdysial period.
- 6.6. These data suggest that the formation of the protein-insoluble matrix is linked with water loss.
- 7.7. Water removal may decrease the distance between molecules allowing specific reactions to take place.

- 1.1. In a continuing investigation of phycocyanin-membrane surface interaction, fluorescence quenching experiments were performed with a mixture of two populations of fluorescence probe-encapsulated phospholipid bilayer vesicles in the presence and absence of phycocyanin.
- 2.2. These membrane vesicles were prepared with 1,2-dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), cholesterol and a probe molecule.
- 3.3. A fluorophore was encapsulated in one population of membrane vesicles, while a quencher was encapsulated in another population of membrane vesicles.
- 4.4. The result was compared with those of experiments in the presence of other biomolecules, including albumin, cytochrome c, hemoglobin, myoglobin or RNA.
- 5.5. Interestingly, a one-third reduction of the fluorescence intensity was observed in the mixture of these two populations of membrane vesicles in phycocyanin's presence.
- 6.6. In contrast, the other biomolecules caused no significant reduction in the fluorescence intensity.
- 7.7. These findings were evidence of a phycocyanin-induced membrane perturbation.
- 8.8. This was further demonstrated by a phycocyanin-induced change in the thermotropic behavior of DMPC vesicles, as measured by differential scanning microcalorimetry.
- 9.9. Such a unique property of phycocyanin is believed to be associated with its known membrane surface-interacting character.
- 10.10. A possible phycocyanin-modulated membrane-membrane interaction was discussed.

- 4.4. “Ring Form” leucocytes are present.
- 5.5. Three types of red cell picture could be identified, some animals showing large numbers of spherocytes, spicule cells, and inclusion bodies.
- 6.6. These cells resemble those found in some inherited human haemolytic anaemias but there was no evidence of haemolysis in the animals.
- 7.7. An alkali resistant haemoglobin component is present.
