Resolution of two molecular forms of sucrose-phosphate synthase from maize,soybean and spinach leaves

Two forms of sucrose-phosphate synthase (EC 2.4.1.14) were resolved from leaves of three species, maize (Zea mays L. cv. Pioneer 3184), soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr., cv. Ransom) and spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv. Resistoflay) by hydroxyapatite Ultrogel chromatography, using a 75-mM (designated peak 1) and 250-mM (peak 2) K-phosphate discontinuous-gradient elution. Rechromatography of the two forms showed that they were not readily interconvertible. The distribution of activity between the two forms differed among species and changed during purification of the enzyme. Recovery of peak-1 activity was specifically lowered when maize leaf extracts were prepared in the absence of magnesium, indicating that the two forms may differ in stability. In addition, the forms of the enzyme from maize differed in the extent of glucose-6-phosphate activation. These results provide evidence for the existence of multiple forms of sucrose-phosphate synthase in leaves of different species and that the forms differ in regulatory properties.Abbreviations Fru6P fructose 6-phosphate - Glc6P glucose 6-phosphate - HAU hydroxyapatite Ultrogel - Pi inorganic phosphate - SPS sucrose-phosphate synthase - UDP uridine 5-diphosphate - UDPG uridinediphosphate glucose Cooperative investigations of the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, and the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, Raleigh.

Biochemical genetics of macaques. I. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase polymorphisms in Macaca mulatta and Macaca speciosa

Starch gel electrophoresis of erythrocytes from 1812 Macaca mulatta has unequivocally demonstrated that the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) isozymes are controlled by two autosomal codominant alleles. Limited data on erythrocytes from 89 Macaca speciosa were also consistent with autosomal codominance.This work was supported in part by NIH Grants HD 07835 (WHS) and RR-00167 (Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center) and by the Research Committee of the UW Graduate School (Project No. 170207).Paper No. 2146 of the Laboratory of Genetics, and Publication No. 16-045 of The Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center.     

Metabolic properties of erythrocytes of normal and genetically anemic mice

The murine hemolytic anemias microcytosis (gene symbol mk), normoblastosis (nb), spherocytosis (sph), and hemolytic (ha) are inherited as autosomal recessive diseases and resemble the human hereditary hemolytic anemias caused by defective enzyme activities in erythrocytes. The activities of 14 different enzymes of the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways were compared in erythrocytes from normal and anemic mice, but no quantitative differences suggesting enzyme deficiency were found. There were no major changes in reduced glutathione, NAD, NADP, or methemoglobin content. The rate of entry of glucose into the glycolytic and hexose monophosphate shunt pathways of intact erythrocytes was higher in mk/mk erythrocytes than predicted. Interpretation of studies of erythrocytes from anemic mice is generally complicated by the extremely high reticulocyte and nucleated cell counts in ha/ha, sph/sph, and nb/nb mice.Investigations in Kentucky (Dr. Hutton) were supported by Research Career Development Award 1-K4-AM-70, 186-01 and NIH Research Grant AM 16013-01 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, and those at The Jackson Laboratory (Dr. Bernstein) by NIH Research Grant HD-00254 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, by U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Contract AT(30-1)-1800, and in part by the George W.

The utilization of paramecia by the carnivorous plant Utricularia gibba

Summary A method has been devised to ensure capture of large numbers of live paramecia within a short period of time under controlled conditions by the bladders of Utricularia gibba. The method permits a direct evaluation of the role of entrapped animals in the nutrition of this carnivorous plant. Paramecia captured by the bladders of plants growing in a near optimal inorganic medium do not cause an increase in number or length of internodes. In contrast, feeding paramecia to plants grown in a poorly balanced or incomplete medium does result in an increase in both number and length of internodes produced. Feeding paramecia to Utricularia also results in an increase in number of bladders.This study was supported in part by an Undergraduate Research Participant stipend from Public Health Service, grant number 2-TIHE 5 303-09, to the first author and in part by Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Grant No. 12-14-100-7981 (34) to the second author, administered by Crops Research Division, Beltsville, Maryland.     

A linkage map for sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) based on RFLP,RAPD, and isozyme loci

A linkage map for sugi was constructed on the basis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and isozyme loci using a three-generation pedigree prepared for genetic analysis of heartwood color. A total of 128 RFLP (123 cDNA and 5 genomic probes), 33 RAPD, 2 isozyme, and 1 morphological (dwarf) loci segregated in 73 progeny. Of the 164 segregating loci, 145 loci were distributed in 20 linkage groups. Of these loci, 91 with confirmed map positions were assigned to 13 linkage groups, covering a total of 887.3 cM. A clustering of markers with distorted segregation was observed in 6 linkage groups. In the four clusters, distortions with a reduction in the number of homozygotes from one parent only were found.Abbreviations MAS marker-assisted selection - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - QTL quantitative traits of loci - RAPD random amplified polymorphic DNA - RFLP restriction fragment length polymorphism This work was supported by a Grant-in-Aid from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (Integrated Research Program for the Use of Biotechnological Procedures for Plant Breeding) and by a Grant-in-Aid from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan (Cooperative Research, no. 04304017)     

The cellular pathway of sucrose transport in developing cotyledons ofVicia faba L. andPhaseolus vulgaris L.: a physiological assessment

The cellular pathway of sugar uptake in developing cotyledons of Vicia faba L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. seed was evaluated using a physiological approach. The cotyledon interface with the seed coat is characterised by a specialised dermal cell complex. In the case of Vicia faba cotyledons, the epidermal component of the dermal cell complex is composed of transfer cells. Sucrose is the major sugar presented to the outer surface of both cotyledons and it is taken up from the apoplasm unaltered. Estimated sucrose concentrations within the apparent free space of Vicia and Phaseolus cotyledons were 105 and 113 mM respectively. Rates of in-vitro uptake of [¹⁴C]sucrose by cotyledon segments or by whole cotyledons following physical removal or porter inactivation of the outer cells demonstrated that, for both Vicia and Phaseolus cotyledons, the dermal cell complexes are the most intense sites of sucrose uptake. Accumulation of [¹⁴C]sucrose in the storage parenchyma of whole cotyledons was directly affected by experimental manipulation of uptake by the outer cell layers and plasmolytic disruption of the interconnecting plasmodesmata. These findings indicated that sucrose accumulated by the dermal cell complexes is transported symplasmically to the storage parenchyma. Overall, it is concluded that the dermal cell complexes of the developing legume embryo, irrespective of the presence or absence of wall ingrowths, are the major sites for the uptake of sucrose released from the maternal tissues to the seed apoplasm. Thereafter, the accumulated sucrose is transported radially inward through the symplast to the storage parenchyma.Abbreviations AFS apparent free space - CF 5-(6)-carboxyfluorescein - CFDA 5-(6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate - Mes 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid - PCMBS p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid - SRG sulphorhodamine G The investigation was supported by funds from the Research Management Committee, The University of Newcastle and the Australian Research Council.

Purification and properties of a glyphosate-tolerant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase from the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis

5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase; EC 2.5.1.9) from the glyphosate-tolerant cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis (ATCC 29413) was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme had a similar relative molecular mass to other EPSP synthases and showed similar kinetic properties except for a greatly elevated K _i for the herbicide glyphosate (approximately ten times higher than that of enzymes from other sources). With whole cells, the monoisopropylamine salt of glyphosate was more toxic than the free acid but the effects of the free acid and monoisopropylamine salt on purified EPSP synthase were identical.Abbreviations EPSP 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate - M_r relative molecular mass - PEP phosphoenolpyruvate - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - S3P shikimate 3-phosphate The funding of this work by the Agricultural and Food Research Council and the University of Dundee Research Initiatives Programme is gratefully acknowledged.     

Study of age dependent half-life of iodine in man: A reinforcement-depletion urn model

An urn contains balls ofs different colors. The problem of the reinforcement of a specified color and random depletion of balls has been considered by Shenton (1981, 1983). In this paper, the theory is applied to the biological age dependent half-life of radioactive iodine in man; the data of Cook and Snyder (1965) is used. The intake of radioactive iodine and its retention subsequently is studied.

The relationship between the activation state of sucrose-phosphate synthase and the rate of CO2 assimilation in spinach leaves

The relationship between the gas-exchange characteristics of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves and the activation state of sucrose-phosphate synthase was examined at different intercellular partial pressures of CO₂ at two different photon flux densities. There was a strong positive correlation between the activation state of sucrose-phosphate synthase and the assimilation rate. The relationship was the same at both photon flux densities, indicating that the activation state of the enzyme is determined by a product of carbon assimilation, rather than directly by light.Abbreviations A assimilation rate for CO₂ - p _i intercellular CO₂pressure - PFD photon flux density - SPS sucrose-phosphate-synthase - Glc6P glucose-6-phosphate - Fru6P fructose-6-phosphate A.B. was the recipient of a visiting fellowship from the National Research Council of the Italy.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from higher plants: Purification from cucumber and evidence of rapid proteolytic cleavage in extracts from a range of plant tissues

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) was purified 600-fold to homogeneity from the cotyledons of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and a polyclonal antiserum raised. After sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) the purified preparation contained a single polypeptide of 62 kDa, consistent with previous studies of this enzyme in C₄ grasses. Immunoblots of crude extracts showed that a form of PEPCK of approximately this molecular mass predominated in cucumber cotyledons and in a range of plant tissues (cotyledons of fat-storing seedlings, leaves of C₄ and Crassulacean acid metabolism plants). However, when these tissues were extracted in the presence of SDS and the extracts analysed by immunoblotting, a larger polypeptide of 68–77 kDa was detected. Thus the enzyme generally measured in crude extracts is a smaller form which arises by rapid proteolysis. This phenomenon means that the native form of PEPCK has never been purified from plants nor its properties determined.Abbreviations CAM Crassulacean acid metabolism - DTT dithiothreitol - PEG polyethyleneglycol - PEP phosphoenolpyruvate - PEPCK phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase - Rubisco ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase We are grateful to Dr. Steve Smith (University of Edinburgh, UK) for helpful discussions, Dr. Alf Keys (Institute of Arable Crops Research, Rothamsted, UK) for the gift of pure Rubisco and Dr. Tristan Dyer (John Innes Centre for Plant Science Research, Norwich, UK) for the antiserum to fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase.

Evolution of mammalian carbonic anhydrase loci by tandem duplication: Close linkage of Car-1 and Car-2 to the centromere region of chromosome 3 of the mouse

Electrophoretic variants of two carbonic anhydrase enzymes, CAR-1 (CA I) and CAR-2 (CA II), have been found in the laboratory mouse, Mus musculus. These two loci are closely linked to each other and are located on chromosome 3 near its centromere. The close linkage of Car-1 and Car-2 supports the hypothesis that the present-day carbonic anhydrase loci are the result of tandem duplication of an earlier carbonic anhydrase locus with subsequent divergence. The red blood cells of mice of the subspecies M. m. casteneus have significantly reduced levels of CAR-1 and CAR-2.This research was supported in part by Research Grants GM-20919 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and CA-01074 from the National Cancer Institute, and by Contracts E(11-1)-3267 with the Energy Research and Development Administration and NO1-ES-4-2159 with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Electron microscopic observations on the reactional changes occurring in insect nerve fibers after transection

Summary An electron microscopic study of the interganglionic connectives of an orthopteran (Laplatacris dispar) demonstrated that a reaction starts in the sectioned fibers very soon after transection (30 minutes). This reaction is closely similar to that observed in sectioned nerves of vertebrates and consists in the appearance of microvesicles and the proliferation of mitochondria. Sectioned connectives were studied from 30 minutes to 88 hours after section. The reaction mentioned increases progressively during the indicated lapse of time.This research was supported by the United States Air Force under Contract No AF 49 (638) 585 and Grant Af 61-64, monitored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Air Force Research Division of the Air Research and Development Command.     

Conflicting results in EEG alpha feedback studies

Success or failure of EEG feedback training for alpha enhancement can depend on how alpha activity is quantified and fed back. Alpha-enhancement failures usually employ a percent time(%) technique; successes typically use amplitude integration(). To dramatize the differences between percent and integration techniques, we derived both measures simultaneously from left occipital(O ₁ ) and left central(C ₃ ) sites for 16 male subjects who were given 5.6 hours of integrated alpha feedback from the midline occipital(O_z ) site. At both the O ₁ and C ₃ sites the integrated and percent measures were not equivalent and not linearly related. Statistically significant differences in the(integrated, percent) correlation coefficients(z-transformed) were observed under the different recording conditions: alpha enhancement, alpha enhancement, alpha suppression, and baselines. Theoretical discussion of integration and percent techniques is given and the adoption of amplitude integration measures and feedback stimuli is strongly advocated.This study was supported by the following grants and contracts: National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Predoctoral Fellowship #1 F01 MH51704-01, NIMH General Research Support Grant #LPNI 185, and a Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship (Interdisciplinary Training Program, NIMH #7082) to James V.

Adrenergic retinal neurons

Summary Adrenergic retinal neurons have been studied in cynomolgus monkeys, cats, rabbits, guinea-pigs, rats, and mice with the fluorescence technique of Falck and Hillarp. With some species variations, three adrenergic fibre layers have been observed: an outer adrenergic fibre layer (all species) at the border between the inner nuclear and inner plexiform layers, a middle adrenergic fibre layer (rabbits, guinea-pigs, rats, and mice) in the middle of the inner plexiform layer, and an inner adrenergic fibre layer (rabbits) at the border between the inner plexiform layer and the ganglion cell layer. Similarly, three kinds of adrenergic nerve cells have been found: a somewhat heterogenous group of outer adrenergic cells (all species) situated in the innermost cell rows of the inner nuclear layer, eremite cells (rabbits, guinea-pigs, rats, and mice) within the inner plexiform layer and alloganglionic cells (all species) with a position and appearance resembling some of the ordinary non-adrenergic cells of the ganglion cell layer. All the adrenergic cells are star-shaped with slender branching processes running to the different adrenergic layers.The research reported in this document has been sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under grant AF EOAR 66-14 through the European Office of Aerospace Research (OAR), United States Air Force, by the United States Public Health Service (grant no.

Centrally-mediated synaptic input: Effects on an identified crayfish mechanosensory interneuron

Summary High-level mechanosensory interneurons integrate a substantial amount of polysynaptic input. We have used an identified interneuron, the crayfish (Procambarus clarki) caudal photoreceptor (CPR), to examine the extent and specificity of interneuronal input as received by a physiologically complex, smalldiameter sensory unit. Presynaptic central neurons were identified by antidromic stimulation of connective fibers and characterized physiologically relative to the bilateral responses observed in the paired CPR's. Eleven inhibitory interneurons have been identified, including cells with ipsilateral (Fig. 4), contralateral (Fig. 5) and bilateral effects (Fig. 6). Seven excitatory interneurons have been identified, including examples from each of the respective categories above (Figs. 7–9). The results of this survey are summarized in Table 1; axon locations are presented in Fig. 10.It has also been demonstrated that several of these fibers are themselves ascending mechanoreceptive interneurons (e.g., fiber 122, Fig. 1). Thus, for the encoding of environmental stimuli, these results indicate that central integration involves a lateral exchange of tactile information among a set of interrelated sensory interneurons. However, the possibility still exists that some of these fibers represent descending pathways for central influence of local (segmental) integrative processes.Abbreviations CPR caudal photoreceptor - EPSP excitatory postsynaptic potential - IPSP inhibitory postsynaptic potential This work has been supported in part by a Research Fellowship from Bryn Mawr College (to G.A.M.) and by Research Grants from NIH (NS-12971-03) and the Whitehall Foundation.

The cincinnati lipid research clinic family study: Familial determinants of plasma uric acid

Summary Commingling analysis of plasma uric acid levels in a random sample of 160 nuclear families supports the hypothesis that there is a mixture of three distributions. Assuming one, two, and three components in the underlying distribution, we obtained the corresponding p-values (for power transformation) as 0.059, 1.040, and 1.643, respectively. Path analysis with p=0.059 gives genetic (h ²) and cultural (c ²) heritabilities as 0.256 and 0.199, without much support for intergenerational differences, assortative mating, or maternal effects. Complex segregation analysis with p=0.059 supports multifactorial inheritance, consistent with the findings of Gulbrandsen et al. (1979) and Morton (1979) in other populations. This study also fails to support a major locus hypothesis, contrary to earlier reports.This work was supported in part by N.I.H. and N.I.M.H.

Meiosis and fertility of interspecific hybrids betweenPhaseolus vulgaris L. andP. acutifolius A. Gray

Summary Meiosis and fertility of interspecific hybrids obtained from reciprocal crosses between Phaseolus vulgaris and P. acutifolius were examined. Bivalents as well as univalents were found at Metaphase I. The majority of the microsporocytes had four or more univalents and the average was 6.3 univalents per cell. The average number of lagging chromosomes at Anaphase I was 2.3 per cell and the most frequent chromosome distribution at late Anaphase I was 10–12. The lower than expected number of lagging chromosomes as compared with the number of univalents at Metaphase I suggests the possible occurrence of precocious separation of bivalents. The male fertility as measured by pollen stainability was 17%, however, the frequency of pollen germination in selfing was 3.5%. Upon selfing of the interspecific hybrids, no dividing embryos were found even though 7 and 26% of the ovules were fertilized at 12 hours and four days after pollination. In backcrosses to P. vulgaris (male), 6 and 20% of the ovules were fertilized and 0 and 4% of the ovules contained dividing embryos at the same sampling times. When P. acutifolius was the male parent, respective values were 8 and 31% for fertilization and 0 and 13% for ovules with dividing embryos. The frequencies of backcross embryos recovered at 14–26 days were in agreement with the frequencies of dividing embryos at four days. The ability to obtain backcross plantlets demonstrates the feasibility to further utilize interspecific hybrids for the improvement of P. vulgaris Technical paper No. 5311 of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station.

Restriction enzyme analysis of mitochondrial DNAs of petite mutants of yeast: Classification of petites, and deletion mapping of mitochondrial genes

Summary We have analyzed the restriction digest patterns of the mitochondrial DNA from 41 cytoplasmic petite strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that have been extensively characterized with respect to genetic markers. Each mitochondrial DNA was digested with seven restriction endonucleases (EcoRI, HpaI, HindIII, BamHI, HhaI, SalI, and PstI) which together make 41 cuts in grande mitochondrial DNA and for which we have derived fragment maps. The petite mitochondrial DNAs were also analyzed with HpaII, HaeIII, and AluI, each of which makes more than 80 cleavages in grande mitochondrial DNA. On the basis of the restriction patterns observed (i.e., only one fragment migrating differently from grande for a single deletion, and more than one for multiple deletions) and by comparing petite and grande mitochondrial DNA restriction maps, the petite clones could be classified into two main groups: (1) petites representing a single deletion of grande mitochondrial DNA and (2) petites containing multiple deletions of the grande mitochondrial DNA resulting in rearranged sequences. Single deletion petites may retain a large portion of the grande mitochondrial genome or may be of low kinetic cimplexity. Many petites which are scored as single continuous deletions by genetic criteria were later demonstrated to be internally deleted by restriction endonuclease analysis. Heterogeneous sequences, manifested by the presence of sub-stoichiometric amounts of some restriction fragments, may accompany the single or multiple deletions. Single deletions with heterogeneous sequences remain useful for mapping if the low concentration sequences represent a subset of the stoichiometric bands. Using a group of petites which retain single continuous regions of the grande mitochondrial DNA, we have physically mapped antibiotic resistance and mit^- markers to regions of the grande restriction map as follows: C (99.3-1.4 map units)-OXI-1 (2.5-15.7)-OXI-2 (18.5-25)-P (28.1-34.2)-OXI-3 (32.2-61.2)-O_II (60-62)-COB (64.6-80.8)-O_I (80.4-85.7)-E (95-98.9).Supported by USPHS Training Grant 5-T01-GM-00090-19.Supported by USPHS Training Grant T32-GM-07197.The Franklin McLean Memorial Research Institute is operated by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration under Contract EY-76-C-02-0069.
