Studies on well-coupled Photosystem-I-enriched subchloroplast vesicles. Discrimination of flash-induced fast and slow electric potential components

This work aimed at the resolution of the multi-component electric potential changes induced by single-turnover flash illumination of Photosystem-I-enriched subchloroplast vesicles. If supplemented with ferredoxin and under carefully adjusted redox poising, these vesicles show a pronounced slow-rising and -decaying electric potential component, as monitored by endogenous and exogenous field-sensitive probes, carotenoids and oxonol VI, respectively. The fast and slow potential components can be easily discriminated without the need for computer-assisted deconvolution after selective presaturation of the slow component by preillumination or a transmembrane ΔpH, after selective suppression of the slow component by low valinomycin or uncoupler concentrations or in the absence of ferredoxin. The slow electric potential component, as compared to the fast one, is relatively sensitive to low concentrations of ionophores and uncouplers, detergent, ageing and lower temperatures (4–12°C), is associated with electrogenic proton displacements and is interpreted to respond to a field that is more located on the membrane-bulk interface. Temperature effects show transition temperatures around 20°C for both the rise and decay of the slow potential component. The results provide further evidence that the carotenoids and oxonol VI sense the same (slow) electric field, but may be differently located in the thylakoid membrane.     

Regulation of the synthesis of lutropin-induced protein in rat testis Leydig cells

The mechanism of action of lutropin on the stimulation of the synthesis of a specific lutropin-induced protein in rat testis Leydig cells was investigated. Lutropin-induced protein has a mol.wt. of approx. 21000 and is detected by labelling the Leydig-cell proteins with [³⁵S]methionine, followed by separation by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and radioautography of the dried gel. The incorporation of ³⁵S into lutropin-induced protein was used as an estimate for the synthesis of the protein. Incubation of Leydig cells with dibutyryl cyclic AMP or cholera toxin also resulted in the stimulation of synthesis of the protein. Synthesis of lutropin-induced protein, when maximally stimulated with 100ng of lutropin/ml, could not be stimulated further by addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, further increased synthesis of the protein in the presence of a submaximal dose of lutropin (10ng/ml) but not in the absence of lutropin or with maximal amounts of lutropin (100 and 1000ng/ml). Actinomycin D prevented the effect of lutropin on the stimulation of lutropin-induced protein synthesis when added immediately or 1h after the start of the incubation, but not when added after 5–6h. This is interpreted as reflecting that, after induction of mRNA coding for lutropin-induced protein, lutropin had no influence on the synthesis of the protein in the presence of actinomycin D. Synthesis of the protein was also stimulated in vivo by injection of choriogonadotropin into rats 1 day after hypophysectomy, and the time course of this stimulation of lutropin-induced protein synthesis in vivo was similar to that obtained by incubating Leydig cells in vitro with lutropin. From these results it is concluded that stimulation of lutropin-induced protein synthesis by lutropin is most probably mediated by cyclic AMP and involves synthesis of mRNA.     

Proteins synthesized by inducer T cells: evidence for a mitogenic peptide shared by inducer molecules that stimulate different cell types

Inducer T lymphocytes synthesize and secrete peptides that stimulate growth and differentiation of many cell types, including lymphocytes and monocytes that kill foreign organisms, B lymphocytes, mast cells and hematopoietic precursor cells. To define these inducer molecules more precisely, we have generated clones of these T cells as a source of homogeneous material for biochemical analysis. These clones synthesize peptides that stimulate T and B cells to divide and that also induce the latter cells to secrete immunoglobulin. Inducer cells synthesize a 14 kilodalton growth polypeptide that stimulates T and B lymphocytes, as well as other cell types, to divide. This 14 kilodalton peptide is normally associated with different, larger peptides that appear to focus its mitogenic activity to one or another target cell.
