Amino acid sequence of bovine white matter proteolipid

The sequence of the bovine white matter proteolipid has been studied by a combination of proteolytic digestion and chemical cleavage at tryptophan residues. Alignment of peptides obtained by digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, clostripain, and Staphylococcus aureus protease gave the sequence of 52 residues at the amino terminus, 96 residues at the carboxyl terminus, and several additional segments. Peptides obtained by treatment of the protein with 2-(2-nitrophenylsulfenyl)-3-methyl-3'-bromoindolenine confirmed the alignment and extended the sequence. This information, combined with that of other investigators, permits us to propose the primary structure for the entire protein. On the basis of the sequence determination, the molecular weight of the proteolipid protein is 29,869.     

Trisomy 6q22 leads to 6qter due to maternal 6;21 translocation. Case report review of the literature

Partial trisomy for the long arm of chromosome 6, involving 6q22 leads to 6qter, was observed in a 2-month-old male infant. The mother was 6q;21p translocation carrier. A review of the previously published cases with trisomies of different 6q segments suggests that the critical segment responsible for the clinically recognizable phenotype of 6q trisomy seems to be limited to bands 6q26 and/or 6q27.     

Identification and genetic control of starch-degrading enzymes in maize endosperm

Three starch-degrading enzymes from liquid endosperm of maize have been separated by means of horizontal acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The three enzymes are tentatively identified as -amylase (zone 1), -amylase (zone 2), and -glucan phosphorylase (zone 3). Electrophoretic variants of these enzymes were found among ten inbred strains examined. Results of genetic crosses with respect to zone 2 amylase show that it is controlled by a pair of alleles (Amy-2 ^A and Amy-2 ^B) acting without dominance. It further appears that Amy-2 and Ct (catalase) are linked with 5% recombination frequency.This work was supported by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, under contract No. AT(11-1)-1338.

超干处理对几种芸苔属植物种子生理生化和细胞超微结构的效应

几种芸苔属植物种子经过超干处理后,发芽力和活力不受影响,耐藏性大为提高。超干及老化后种子的脱氢酶、超氧物歧化酶、过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶等酶系统保持完好;丙二醛和挥发性醛类物质等劣变产物相应减少;电导率测定表明,细胞膜系统的完整性良好;透射电镜(TEM)和扫描电镜(SEM)观察表明,细胞超微结构及功能保持完好。不同干燥方法和不同干燥剂的系列实验证实,生石灰的脱水效果并不亚于冰冻真空干燥法,且经济实用。     

聚乙二醇处理大豆种子子叶中几种酶活性和可溶性蛋白含量的变化

聚乙二醇处理的大豆种子的异柠檬酸裂解酶、苹果酸脱氢酶、过氧化氢酶、超氧物歧化酶、酸性磷酸酶、碱性磷酸酶的活性明显高于受低温吸胀冷害的种子子叶的活性,相关的酶活性协同地增长,而蛋白质的含量没有明显的变化。这些酶活性的提高可能是渗透调控处理对细胞膜系统修补的结果。     

一种引致人体原发性皮肤毛霉病的非高温根毛霉属真菌

由石家庄中国人民解放军白求恩国际和平医院皮肤科李成龙大夫提供的一株人体皮肤病菌经我们研究鉴定为毛霉目(Mucorales)毛霉科(Mucoraceae)根毛霉属(Rhizomucor)的一个种,并定名为多变根毛霉新种(Rhizomucor variabilis Zheng & G.-q.Chen sp. nov.)。据李大夫介绍,这株菌是从一名居住在江苏农村到该医院看病的女病人的手上病部分离的。这个病人没有一般真菌病病人所患有的其他疾病如糖尿病、白血病等等。她也没有患有其他毛霉病,因此她的皮肤毛霉病是原发性的而不是继发性的。我们查阅文献结果,国内由根毛霉属真菌引致的毛霉病过去仅有过一次肺部感染的报道;国外则有过较多次数的由根毛霉引致的人体毛霉病,主要为肺部疾病并可引致继发性的皮肤病,尚未见有由根毛霉属引起的原发性皮肤毛霉病的报道。无论国内、外引起人体毛霉病的根毛霉均为微小根毛霉[Rhizomucor pusillus(Lindt) Schipper,包括Mucor pusillus Lindt,Mucor parasiticus Lucet & Costanin等异名]一种。因此,本病例为我国第二例由根毛霉弓l起的人体毛霉病及第一例由根毛霉引起的人体皮肤毛霉病,同时又是全世界第一例由根毛霉属除微小根毛霉以外的另外一个种引起的人体毛霉病,很可能还是全世界第一例由根毛霉引起的人体原发性皮肤毛霉病。多变根毛霉与根毛霉属内所有过去已报道过的种都有显著差异。它的最适生长温度为24-30℃,最低9℃,最高38℃;其他种均为高温真菌,它们的最高生长温度可达55℃或更高。形态方面,多变根毛霉也与属内其他已知种明显不同。它的菌落高达4-8 mm并呈鲜明的浅黄色;其他已知种菌落低矮,除奈尼塔尔根毛霉(Rhizomucor nainitalensis Joshi)外全部为深暗灰色,奈尼塔尔根毛霉菌落色泽虽然较浅,但为浅灰或灰黄色,与多变根毛霉的鲜明黄色不同。它的假根异常发达并可从菌体的各个部位如菌丝、匍匐丝、孢子枝、孢子囊、囊轴上长出;其他已知种的假根一般都不发达且从未见有从孢子枝、孢子囊、囊轴等处长出的描述。它的孢子枝的分枝常常长于主枝;其他已知种则分枝长度一般不超过主枝。它的囊轴形状多变:球形、近球形、扁球形、卵形、椭圆形、梨形等等,两边对称或不对称,溢缩或不绕缩,纵向深裂或不作纵向深裂;其他已知种的囊轴形状通常为倒卵形至梨形的规则形状。它的囊领明显;其他已知种的囊领均很不明显至缺如。它的孢囊孢子形状和大小变化都较大,卵形、椭圆形、矩圆形、近球形、近三角形或其他各种不规则形状,长度范围2.5-16.5 μm;其他已知种除上面已经提到过的奈尼塔尔根毛霉外,它们的孢囊孢子形状仅限于卵形、椭圆形、近球形等较规则的形状,长度范围总是在3-6 μm范围内,奈尼塔尔根毛霉的孢囊孢子形状虽然多变,但其决度亦在3-6 μm的范围内。此外,多变根毛霉的孢子囊、囊轴、孢囊孢子等各种构造均较大;其他已知种则较小,其中肿梗根毛霉[Rhizomucor tauricus (Milko & Schkurenko) Schipper]虽亦较大,但除此之外与多变根毛霉迥异。多变根毛霉未见有接合孢子,将我们保存的全部微小根毛霉菌株与它分别配对时,或将我们的几对别的属的(+)(-)测试菌株与它分别配对时,均未见形成接合孢子或有任何反应。     

Chloride conductive and cotransport mechanisms in cultures of canine tracheal epithelial cells measured by an entrapped fluorescent indicator

Summary To study Cl conductive and cotransport mechanisms, primary cultures of canine tracheal cells were grown to confluency on thin glass cover slips and on porous filters. Transepithelial resistance was >100 ·cm², and short circuit current (I _sc=2–20 A/cm²), representing active secretion of Cl, increased >threefold with addition of 10 m isoproterenol to the serosal solution. Cells made transiently permeable in hypotonic solution were loaded with the Cl-sensitive fluorophore 6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl) quinolinium (SPQ) (5mm, 4 min, 150 mOsm). The electrical properties of the cell monolayers were not altered by the loading procedure. Intracellular SPQ fluorescence was monitored continuously by epifluorescence microscopy (excitation 360±5 nm, emission>410 nm). SPQ leakage from the cells was <10% in 60 min at 37°C. Intracellular calibration of SPQ fluorescencevs. [Cl] (0–90mm) was carried out using high-K buffers containing the ionophores nigericin (5 m) and tributyltin (10 m); SPQ fluorescence was quenched with a Stern-Volmer constant of 13m ^–1. Intracellular Cl activity was 43±4mm. Cl flux was measured in response to addition and removal of 114mm Cl from the bathing solution. Addition of 10 m isoproterenol increased Cl efflux from 0.10 to 0.27mm/sec. The increase was inhibited by the Cl-channel blocker diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (1mm). In the absence of isoproterenol, removal of external Na or addition of 0.5mm furosemide, reduced Cl influx by >fourfold. In ouabain-treated monolayers, removal of external K in the presence of 5mm barium diminished Cl influx by >twofold, suggesting that Cl entry is in part K dependent. These results establish an accurate optical method for the realtime measurement of intracellular Cl activity in tracheal cells that does not require an electrically tight cell monolayer. The data demonstrate the presence of an isoproterenol-regulated Cl channel and a furosemide-sensitive cation-coupled transport mechanism.
