Morphological and histochemical evidence of mitoribosomes in Manduca sexta.

The mitochondria found in the neurons of the frontal ganglion of Manduca sexta contained numerous mitoribosomes. The mitochondria of the glial and perineural cells did not contain mitoribosomes. The mitoribosomes were digested in RNase whereas phospholipase C digested the cellular membranes but had no effect on the mitoribosomes.     

mim3 and nam3 omnipotent suppressor genes similarly affect the polypeptide composition of yeast mitoribosomes

Yeast informational suppressors of mit- mutations coded for by nuclear (nam3-1, nam3-2) or by mitochondrial DNA (mim3-1) affect the mitoribosome. Nuclear mutations result in the appearance of an additional polypeptide called SI in the small mitoribosomal subunit. An identical polypeptide, not detected in the wild type 37S subunit, is present in crude preparations of mitoribosomes isolated from a mim3-1 suppressor carrying strain. Traces of the SI polypeptide may be found in highly purified small subunits from the mim3-1 strain. Therefore, mutations affecting either mitochondrial rRNA (mim3-1) or mitochondrial r-proteins (nam3-1, nam3-2) could be followed by similar changes in overall mitoribosome structure. This may explain the functional similarity of nuclear and mitochondrially coded suppressors.

细菌视紫红质光循环中间体M412的动力学初探

采用紫外可见吸收光谱技术和闪光光解技术,初步观察了细菌视紫红质(BR)分子在宽pH范围(2.1～12.3)内的特征吸收峰以及M412的相对浓度和M412的慢成分半衰期的变化,并对其结构和光循环功能进行了讨论.紫外可见吸收光谱实验结果显示:pH=5.0～10.0时,BR最大特征吸收峰值约为568 nm;pH＜5.0时,BR最大特征吸收峰发生红移;pH＞10.0时,BR最大特征吸收峰发生蓝移.闪光动力学光谱结果显示:pH为7.3～9.5时,M412的相对浓度(M0)基本稳定在0.038左右;pH＜7.3时,M0逐渐减小;pH＞9.5时,M0明显上升,在pH=11.8时达到最大值0.1355,随后又快速下降.pH为2.1～7.3时,M412的慢成分半衰期(ts1/2)值在(4.1±1.1)ms左右;pH＞7.3时,ts1/2值急剧延长到40 677.4 ms.推测在高pH条件下,BR分子的光循环有新的路径和机理.
