Simultaneous Determination of Dermatan Sulfate and Oversulfated Dermatan Sulfate in Plasma by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Postcolumn Fluorescence Derivatization

A chemical method for the determination of dermatan sulfate (DS) and oversulfated dermatan sulfate has been developed and applied to the pharmacokinetic study of these polysaccharides in experimental animals. The analytical procedure includes a simple preparation step of administered DS and oversulfated DS from blood plasma, HPLC for the separation and detection of DS and oversulfated DS using an Asahipak NH₂P-50 column, fluorometric reaction of the polysaccharides with guanidine in a strong alkaline medium. DS and oversulfated DS were extracted from plasma by treating it with proteinase to remove plasma proteins and recovered with endogenous plasma glycosaminoglycans by ethanol precipitation. Finally, DS and oversulfated DS were analyzed by fluorometric HPLC. The detection limits of DS and oversulfated DS were 10 and 20 ng, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated that artificial oversulfation of DS increased its biological half-life after intravenous administration to rats.

Insertional Mutation on Mouse Chromosome 18 with Vestibular and Craniofacial Abnormalities

A dominant mutation was generated in transgenic mice as a consequence of insertional mutation. Heterozygous mice from transgenic line 9257 (Tg(9257)) are hyperactive with bidirectional circling behavior and have a distinctive facial appearance due to hypoplasia of the nasal bone. Morphological analysis of the inner ear revealed asymmetric abnormalities of the horizontal canal and flattening or invagination of the crista ampullaris, which can account for the circling behavior. The sensory epithelium appeared to be normal. The transgene insertion site was localized by in situ hybridization to the B1 band of mouse chromosome 18. Genetic mapping in an interspecific backcross demonstrated the gene order centromere--Tg(9257)--8.8 +/- 3.4--Grl-1, Egr-1, Fgf-1, Apc--14.7 +/- 4.3--Pdgfr. The phenotype and the mapping data suggest that the transgene may be inserted at the Twirler locus. Homozygosity for the transgene results in prenatal lethality, but compound heterozygotes carrying the Tw allele and the transgene are viable. The function of the closely linked ataxia locus is not disrupted by the transgene insertion. This insertional mutant will provide molecular access to genes located in the Twirler region of mouse chromosome 18.     

Diffusivity of Cu2+ in calcium alginate gel beads

The diffusivity of Cu(2+) in calcium alginate beads calculated by the shrinking core model (SCM) was reevaluated in this work. The results obtained in this work were significantly different than those by the original authors. There were excellent agreements between the results obtained by the SCM in this work and those by the more rigorous linear absorption model (LAM) by the original authors.

Genetic transformation and plant regeneration of watermelon using Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Adventitious shoots formed on the proximal cut edges of different cotyledonary explants of watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai; cvs. Sweet Gem and Gold Medal] cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium with 1 mgl^-1 6-benzyladenine (BA). Light (16-h photoperiod, about 7 Wm^-2 cool-white fluorescent lamps) was essential for shoot formation. To obtain transformed plants, cotyledonary explants of Sweet Gem were cocultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404, a disarmed strain harboring a binary vector pBI121 carrying the CaMV 35S promoter--glucuronidase (GUS) gene fusion used as a reporter gene and NOS promoter-neomycin phosphotransferase gene as a positive selection marker, for 48 h on MS medium with 1 mgl^-1 BA and 200 M -hydroxyacetosyringone. After 48 h of culture, explants were transferred to medium with 1 mgl^-1 BA 250 mgl^-1 carbenicillin, and 100 mgl^-1 kanamycin and cultured in the light. Adventitious shoots formed on the explants after 4 weeks of culture. When subjected to GUS histochemical assay, young leaves obtained from the shoots showed a positive response at a frequency of up to 16%. Preculturing cotyledonary explants on MS medium with 1 mgl^-1 BA for 5 d enhanced the competence of the cells to be transformed by Agrobacterium. Southern blot analysis confirmed that the GUS gene was incorporated into the genomic DNA of the GUS-positive regenerants. The transformed plants were grown to maturity.     

Microbial transformation of sucrose and glucose to erythritol

Summary Two strains of osmophilic yeast which were isolated from honey-comb, produced good yields of erythritol as a main product. These strains were identified as Trichosporonoides sp., 150-5 and 331-1.From the fermentation studies with these strains using glucose and sucrose as substrate, strain 331-1 produced more erythritol as the sole polyhydric product,with trace quantities of glycerol, than strain 150-5.     

Production of high fructo-oligosaccharide syrup with two enzyme system of fructosyltransferase and glucose oxidase

Summary A novel two enzyme system of fructosyltransferase and glucose oxidase to enhance the content of the net fructo—oligosaccharide (FOS) fractions in the industrial production of FOS syrup from sucrose was devised. The net FOS content in the commercial FOS syrup has been limited only to 55–60 % due to the accumulation of glucose which acts as a feedback inhibitor of the fructosyltransferase. By supplementing glucose oxidase to the conventional FOS reaction system, we could convert the glucose to gluconic acid readily separable from neutral sugars by simple ion exchange operation in the next step. The simultaneous removal of glucose was proved effective in proceeding the reaction by fructosyltransferase further by relieving the product inhibition caused by glucose. By this way, we could raise the net FOS content as high as 90 %.
