Effects of different batches of iodine on properties of I-hFSH and characteristics of radioligand-receptor assays

Radioiodination of highly purified human follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH) (4000 IU/mg) was performed every other week for 23 weeks using 2 mCi carrier free Na ¹²⁵I (Amersham Corp., 15 mCi/μg I₂) in the presence of lactoperoxidase. Incorporation of ¹²⁵I into hFSH was determined by the method of [7.]Biochem. J. 89, 114). Hormone binding was studied in vitro under steady-state conditions (16 h, 20°C) using different calf testis membrane preparations having similar receptor characteristics. Each ¹²⁵I-hFSH preparation was characterized for maximum bindability, specific activity of bindable radioligand as determined by self-displacement analysis, and by determination of K_a and R_t. Incorporation of ¹²⁵I into FSH was relatively constant over the large number of experiments (62.4 ± 6.4 μCi/μg; n = 23). By comparison, however, specific radioactivity of the receptor bindable fraction of ¹²⁵I-hFSH was related to the lot of ¹²⁵I utilized, and was significantly (P ≤ 0.01) lower and more variable (28.7 ± 10.5 μCi/μg). Maximum bindability of ¹²⁵I-hFSH was not correlated to specific activity (r = 0.06) but was negatively correlated to hFSH ¹²⁵I incorporation (r = −0.47; P ≤ 0.05). These observations demonstrate the need to assess the quality of each batch of radioligand before undertaking radioligand-receptor assays and suggest that differences in Na¹²⁵I lots affect specific radioactivity of the radioligand and its receptor binding characteristics.     

Seasonal study of the fungal biota of the fur of dogs

During a one year period, 944 dogs from the Municipal kennel of Barcelona were examined to detect animals with suspected dermatophytosis. Only a few animals (1.8%) presented skin lesions but none of them had dermatophytosis. A representative number of dogs without visible skin lesions (n=172), selected at random, were used to carry out a seasonal study of the mycobiota of their fur. Fifteen isolates belonging to the genera Microsporum and Trichophyton were isolated from 14 of the 172 (8.1%) dogs without lesions. The identity of these fungi was Microsporum gypseum (6/15), Trichophyton terrestre (4/15), M. canis (2/15), M. cookei (2/15) and Trichophyton ajelloi (1/15) (one strain each of M. gypseum and T. ajelloi were isolated from one dog). Species of Penicillium (% prevalence=89.5%), Alternaria (86.6%), Cladosporium (84.9%), Aspergillus (77.3%), Scopulariopsis (65.7%) and Chrysosporium (64.5%) were the most prevalent. No significant differences in the fungal biota were observed with respect to age, gender, hair length or between mixed and pure breed dogs. A large number of isolates, including species belonging to the genera Beauveria, Chrysosporium, Malbranchea and Scopulariopsis, that macroscopically and/or microscopically resemble dermatophytes and may be mistaken for them, produced a red color change in Dermatophyte Test Medium. No significant seasonal difference was detected among the isolates belonging to the the most frequently encountered genera, with the exception of Scopulariopsis (higher in summer and autumn) and Chrysosporium (higher in summer). Species from other genera, with lower occurrence also presented significant differences in their seasonal distribution. Arthrinium, Aureobasidium, Chaetomium and Phoma spp. presented maximum prevalence peaks in spring, Fusarium, Paecilomyces, Phoma and Rhizopus spp. in summer and Geotrichum and Mucor spp. in autumn. The Microsporum and Trichophyton species were more frequently isolated in summer.     

Syntheses of di-hydrocarbyl derivatives of carbonyl phosphine complexes of iron

Complexes cis,trans-Fe(CO)₂(PMe₃)₂RR′ (R = CH₃, R′ = Ph (2); R = CH₃, R′ = CHCH₂ (3); R = CHCH₂, R′ = Ph (4); R = R′ = CHCH₂ (5); R = R′ = CH₃ (6)) were prepared by reaction of cis,trans-Fe(CO)₂(PMe₃)₂RCl (1) with organolithium reagents LiR′. All complexes were characterized in solution by IR and ¹H, ³¹P and, in a few cases, ¹³C NMR mono- and bi-dimensional spectroscopies. Complexes 5 and 6 were structurally characterized by X-ray diffractometric methods. In solution complexes 2, 3 and 4 undergo slowly coupling of the σ-hydrocarbyl substituents leading to Fe(CO)₃(PMe₃)₂ and other decomposition products. Complex 6 was very stable in solution in the absence of nucleophiles and in the solid state. Complex 5 transformed through intramolecular coupling of the vinyl groups into Fe(CO)(PMe₃)₂(η⁴-butadiene) (7), which was characterized in solution by IR and NMR spectroscopies.     

Spatial distribution of brood-bearing females of limnetic species of Cladocera

In this study, the spatial distribution of brood-bearing females of five species of limnetic cladocerans (Daphnia cucullata, D. longispina, Bosmina coregoni, B. longirostris, Diaphanosoma brachyurum) in the deep mesotrophic lake in relation to the predation pressure of planktivorous fish (roach Rutilus rutilus, perch Perca fluviatilis, catfish Ictalurus nebulosus, white fish Coregonus albula, bleak Alburnus alburnus), and planktonic invertebrates (cyclopoids Mesocyclops leuckartii, Thermocyclops oithonoides, T. crassus, and cladoceran Leptodora kindtii) as well as some environmental variables was estimated. Most cladocerans showed apparent differences in horizontal distribution (ANOVA F = 0.2–0.45, P < 0.05) in the littoral zone and lack of such differences in the pelagic zone (F = 0.07–0.13, P > 0.05). Vertical distribution of most species, in turn, showed a clear pattern in the pelagic zone (F = 0.31–0.39, P < 0.05) and less regularities in the littoral zone (F = 0.15–029, P > 0.05). The differences in spatial distribution of non-predated and predated species suggest that predation pressure, but not predatory type, was an important factor structuring their distribution. Other factors that affected their distribution were conductivity, dissolved oxygen, TOC and macrophyte biomass; however, most of those variables better explained the distribution of brood-bearing cladocerans in the vertical than horizontal aspect.     

Comparison of Vanadium-Rich Activity of Three Species Fungi of Basidiomycetes

A comparison of vanadium-rich activity of three species fungi of Basidiomycetes, Ganoderma lucidum, Coprinus comatus, and Grifola frondosa, was studied. By fermentation and atomic absorption spectroscopy analysis, the biomass of G. lucidum and G. frondosa declined rapidly when the concentration of vanadium exceeded 0.3% but the biomass of C. comatus did not decline rapidly until the concentration of vanadium exceeded 0.4% and the content of vanadium accumulated in the mycelia was 3529.3 μg/g. After the mice were administered (intragastrically) with vanadium-rich C. comatus, the blood glucose of alloxan-induced hyperglycemic mice was decreased (p < 0.05) and the body weight of the alloxan-induced hyperglycemic mice was increased gradually. Thus, we selected C. comatus to absorb vanadium and chose 0.4% as the optimal concentration of vanadium for the pharmacological works.     

Peculiarities of Selectivity of Three Subtypes of Low-Threshold T-Type Calcium Channels

Despite the progress in studies of the properties and functions of low-threshold calcium channels (LTCCs) [1], the mechanisms of their selectivity and permeability remain unstudied in detail. We performed a comparative analysis of the selectivity of three cloned pore-forming LTCC subunits (α1G, α1H, and α1I) functionally expressed in Xenopus oocytes with respect to bivalent alkaline-earth metal cations (Ba²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Sr²⁺. The relative conductivities (G) of these channels were determined according to the amplitudes of macroscopic currents (I) and potentials of zero currents (E). The currents were recorded after preliminary intracellular injection of a fast calcium buffer, BAPTA, in order to suppress the endogenous calcium-dependent chloride conductivity. Channels formed by α1G subunits demonstrated the following ratios of the amplitudes of macroscopic currents and potentials of zero current: I _Ca:I _Ba:I _Sr = 1.00:0.75:1.12 and E _Ca ≈ E _Ba ≈ E _Sr. For channels that were formed by α1H and α1I subunits, these ratios were as follows: I _Ca:I _Ba:I _Sr = 1.00:1.20:1.17, E _Ca ≈ E _Ba ≈ E _Sr and I _Ca:I _Ba:I _Sr = 1.00:1.48: 1.45, E _Ca ≈ E _Ba ≈ E _Sr respectively. The different macroscopic conductivities and similar potentials of zero current typical of α1G and α1I channels indicate that, probably, various bivalent cations can in a differential manner influence the stochastic parameters of functioning of these channels. At the same time, channels formed by α1H subunits are characterized by more positive potentials of zero current for Ca²⁺. It seems possible that the selectivity of the above channels is determined by mechanisms that mediate the selectivity of most high-threshold calcium channels (more affine binding of Ca²⁺ inside the pore).

Taxonomic relations of three flounder species of the subfamily pleuronectinae of the sea of Japan

The taxonomic relations of two flatfish genera, Pseudopleuronectes and Liopsetta were examined for the species Ps. yokohamae, L. obscura and L. pinnifasciata with the use of morphometry and lateral line system structure analysis. Ps. yokohamae and L. obscura were found to be very similar in the majority of plastic and meristic characters and in the arrangement of the lateral line sensory canals on the head. Our findings confirmed the recent suggestions of a close relationship between Ps. yokohamae and L. obscura and provided a solid argument for the transfer of L. obscura from the genus Liopsetta to the genus Pseudopleuronectes.

Estimation of genome sizes of hyperthermophiles

Genomes of various hyperthermophilic and extremely thermophilic prokaryotes were analyzed with respect to size, physical organization, and 16S rDNA copy number. Our results show that all the genomes are circular, and they are in the size range of 1.6–1.8 Mb for Pyrodictium abyssi, Methanococcus igneus, Pyrobaculum aerophilum, Archaeoglobus fulgidus, Archaeoglobus lithotrophicus, and Archaeoglobus profundus (the two bacteria Fervidobacterium islandicum and Thermosipho africanus possess genomes of 1.5-Mb size). A systematic study of all validly described species of the order Sulfolobales revealed the existence of two classes of genome size for these archaea, correlating with phylogenetic analyses. The Metallosphaera–Acidianus group, plus Sulfolobus metallicus, have genomes of ca. 1.9 Mb; the other members of the order Sulfolobales group possess genomes >2.7 Mb. The special case of Stygiolobus azoricus is discussed. Received: August 10, 1997 / Accepted: January 1, 1998
