Genomic organization and evolution of the soybean SB92 satellite sequence

Repetitive DNA sequences comprise a large percentage of plant genomes, and their characterization provides information about both species and genome evolution. We have isolated a recombinant clone containing a highly repeated DNA element (SB92) that is homologous to ca. 0.9% of the soybean genome or about 10⁵ copies. This repeated sequence is tandemly arranged and is found in four or five major genomic locations. FISH analysis of metaphase chromosomes suggests that two of these locations are centromeric. We have determined the sequence of two cloned repeats and performed genomic sequencing to obtain a consensus sequence. The consensus repeat size was 92 bp and exhibited an average of 10% nucleotide substitution relative to the two cloned repeats. This high level of sequence diversity suggests an ancient origin but is inconsistent with the limited phylogenetic distribution of SB92, which is found an high copy number only in the annual soybeans. It therefore seems likely that this sequence is undergoing very rapid evolution.     

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of recombinant human P38 MAP kinase.

The recombinant human p38 MAP kinase has been expressed and purified from both Escherichia coli and SF9 cells, and has been crystallized in two forms by the hanging drop vapor diffusion method using PEG as precipitant. Both crystal forms belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The cell parameters for crystal form 1 are a = 65.2 A, b = 74.6 A and c = 78.1 A. Those for crystal form 2 are a = 58.3 A, b = 68.3 A and c = 87.9 A. Diffraction data to 2.0 A resolution have been collected on both forms.     

Fertile Transgenic Indica Rice Produced by Expression of Maize Ubiquitin Promoter-bar Chimaeric Gene in the Protoplasts

We report production of fertile transgenic Indica rice plants by transferring a chimaeric construct consisting of promoter, first exon and intron of maize ubiquitin gene (Ubi-1) and the coding sequences of the bar gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus to the rice protoplasts through electroporation. In total, 11 plants were regenerated. All of them were fertile and set seeds on maturity. These plants were resistant to high concentration of PPT (400 mg l^?1) which was otherwise toxic to the untransformed controls. The gene was inherited to the progenies of the five plants in Mendelian ratio.     

Axial loading induces rotation of the proximal carpal row bones around unique screw-displacement axes

The changes in carpal bone alignment secondary to the aplication of an axial compressive load through the major wrist motor tendons while the wrist is kept in neutral position (isometric loading) have been investigated on 13 fresh cadaver specimens using a biplanar radiographic method of kinematic analysis. The scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum rotate an average of 5.1, 4.2 and 3.8°, respectively, around different ‘screw displacement axes’, all implying flexion, radial deviation and supination. Based on these findings, a new interpretation of the mechanism by which the wrist remains stable under physiologic loads is provided.     

Identification of the Sites for Suppressor Mutations on the Hemagglutinin Molecule to Temperature-Sensitive Phenotype of the Influenza Virus

A temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of the influenza virus A/WSN/ 33 strain, ts-134, possessed a defect in intracellular transport at the nonpermissive temperature and marked thermolability of hemagglutinin (HA) activity at 51 C. These were caused by a change at amino acid residue 157 from tyrosine to histidine in the HA protein. We isolated 37 spontaneous revertant clones from ts-134 at the nonpermissive temperature and determined their HA sequences. The deduced amino acid sequences demonstrated that one was a true revertant and the others were revertants with suppressor mutations, each of which had an additional amino acid change besides those of ts-134. The changed amino acids were located at 14 positions on the HA molecule, and eight of them were found in multiple revertants. These were located in five to six distinct regions on the three-dimensional structure of the HA molecule. However, the heat stability of HAs in the revertants was recovered differently depending on the sites of the changed amino acids. The kinetics of transport of the HA protein in the revertants were slightly delayed compared to the wild-type both at permissive and nonpermissive temperatures.

Characterization and immunocytochemical demonstration of glucocorticoid receptor using antisera specific to transformed receptor

Cytosolic and nuclear forms of the glucocorticoid receptor were characterized using immunochemical techniques. Antibodies were raised in rabbits to an M_r 58,000 fragment of the transformed (DNA-binding) glucocorticoid receptor purified from rat liver cytosol by DNA-cellulose chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Antibodies reacted with the transformed receptor form in a radioimmunoassay for glucocorticoid receptor. Western blot analysis of antibody reactivity revealed a single M_r 185,000 receptor form in rat liver cytosol but a smaller M_r 85,000 form in nucleosol, indicating the M_r 85,000 form is the transformed receptor. Furthermore, western blot analysis indicates that the M_r 185,000 receptor undergoes proteolysis during receptor purification and in vitro transformation processes by generating immunochemically similar proteins of smaller molecular weights. An identical M_r 185,000 glucocorticoid receptor was detected in cytosols of four rat tissues; liver, brain, adrenal medulla, and thymus. The glucocorticoid receptor was localized to the cytoplasm and nucleus of rat adrenal medulla cells by immunohistochemistry, demonstrating the existence in vivo of the transformed receptor and translocation of the receptor from cytoplasm to nucleus.
