Sequence homology in the metalloproteins; purple acid phosphatase from beef spleen and uteroferrin from porcine uterus

The primary structures of purple acid phosphatase and uteroferrin, two iron-binding glycoproteins isolated from beef spleen and porcine uterine fluids, respectively, have been examined by a combination of tandem mass spectrometry and classical Edman sequencing methods. Reported here are amino acid sequence data covering more than 90% of the primary structures for these two proteins. The sequence data reveal an unexpectedly high degree of homology, greater than 90%, for these two proteins.     

Oligodeoxynucleotide-directed cleavage and repair of a single-stranded vector: a method of site-specific mutagenesis

A simple and efficient site-specific mutagenesis method is described. First, a single-stranded (ss) circular vector is linearized at the site where the desired mutation will be introduced. To do this, an oligodeoxynucleotide complementary to the target region of the ss vector and containing a restriction enzyme recognition sequence is annealed to the circular ss vector, and the partial double-strand formed is subsequently cleaved with that enzyme. Then, another oligodeoxynucleotide spanning the nick and carrying the mutation is annealed to the linearized ss DNA template and the annealed mixture is used directly to transform Escherichia coli without prior enzymatic DNA synthesis in vitro. The procedure has been applied successfully to constructing insertion, deletion, and point mutations in both M13 phage vectors and plasmid vectors containing the f1 origin of replication.     

The macrosatellites of the Toulouse goose: the major tandemly repetitive DNA in the toulouse goose genome

This paper examines the principal classes of repetitive DNA of the Toulouse goose (Anser anser) genome. There are four major classes and they are tandem repeats of less than 200 base pairs (bp). The longest repeat (class A) is 190 bp long and starts with a HinfI site. Class B is 43 bp long, commencing with a FokI site. Classes A and B show no extensive homology to DNA sequences held on a current data base (Genbank) but were confirmed to exist as major repeats in another strain of goose, the Emden goose (Anser anser) genome. Classes C and D are 5-bp repeats of 5' GAGAG 3' and 5' GGGAA 3', respectively. The macrosatellites C and D were compared with a current data base (Genbank) and were found to exist in a variety of other organisms as satellites.     

Close association of a DNA replication origin and an ARS element on chromosome III of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Two dimensional gel electrophoretic techniques were used to locate all functional DNA replication origins in a 22.5 kb stretch of yeast chromosome III. Only one origin was detected, and that origin is located within several hundred bp of an ARS element.     

On the generalization of the Weinbaum-Jiji bioheat equation to microvessels of unequal size; the relation between the near field and local average tissue temperatures

The extensive series of experiments reported in Lemons et al. [1] show that measureable local tissue temperature fluctuations are observed primarily in the vicinity of the 100-500 micron countercurrent vessels of the microcirculation and thus strongly support the basic hypothesis in the new bioheat equation of Weinbaum and Jiji [2] that these countercurrent microvessels are the principal determinants of local blood-tissue heat transfer. However, the detailed temperature profiles in the vicinity of these vessels indicate that large asymmetries in the local temperature field can result from the significant differences in size between the countercurrent artery and vein. Using the superposition techniques of Baish et al. [9], the paper first presents a solution to the classic problem of an unequal countercurrent heat exchanger with heat loss to the far field. This solution is then used to generalize the Weinbaum-Jiji bioheat equation and the conductivity tensor that appears in this equation to vessels of unequal size. An asymptotic analysis has also been developed to elucidate the relationship between the near field temperature of the artery-vein pair and the local average tissue temperature. This analysis is used to rigorously prove the closure approximation relating the local arterial-venous temperature difference and the mean tissue temperature gradient which had been derived in [2] using a more heuristic approach.
