Glyoxylate transamination in intact leaf peroxisomes

Intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf peroxisomes were supplied with glycolate and one to three of the amino acids serine, glutamate, and alanine, and the amount of the respective α-keto acids formed in glyoxylate transamination was assayed. At 1 millimolar glycolate and 1 millimolar each of the three amino acids in combination, the transamination reaction reached saturation; reduction of either glycolate or amino acid concentration decreased the activity. The relative serine, glutamate, and alanine transamination at equal amino acid concentrations was roughly 40, 30, and 30%, respectively. The three amino acids exhibited mutual inhibition to one another in transamination due to the competition for the supply of glyoxylate. In addition to this competition for glyoxylate, competitive inhibition at the active site of enzymes occurred between glutamate and alanine, but not between serine and glutamate or alanine. Alteration of the relative concentrations of the three amino acids changed their relative transamination. Similar work was performed with intact oat (Avena sativa L.) leaf peroxisomes. At 1 millimolar of each of the three amino acids in combination, the relative serine, glutamate, and alanine transamination was roughly 60, 23, and 17%, respectively. Similarly, alteration of the relative concentration of the three amino acids changed their relative transamination. The contents of the three amino acids in leaf extracts were analyzed, and the relative contribution of the three amino acids in glycine production in photorespiration was assessed and discussed.     

Phytophthora spp. from rubbertree plantations in Yunnan Province of China

Phytophthora spp. associated with leaf fall, stem canker and black stripe of rubbertree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.) in Xishuangbanna of Yunnan Province were isolated from leaves, bark, fruit and soil in the plantations. Of a total of 50 isolates, 42 were designated as P. citrophthora (R. E. Sm. & E. H. Sm.) Leonian, while the others were identified as P. palmivora (Butl.) Butl., P. colocasiae Rac. and P. cactorum (Leb. & Conn) Schroet. This appears to be the first report of P. citrophthora on Hevea brasiliensis.     

PI LBEI and PI JHOU: two new alpha-1-antitrypsin alleles

Summary Two new variants of alpha-1-antitrypsin were found in a Chinese population by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel. They have been named Lbeijing (PI^*LBEI) and Jhouyao (PI^*JHOU) respectively. With the samples reduced and alkylated, both the variants were anodal to M1 and cathodal to L. Omitting the alkylation step, however, the relative mobilities of L and Jhouyao were altered. Under this condition, a characteristic of Jhouyao was revealed by isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradient 4.4–4.9, i.e., while its band 6 became anodal to L, band 4 was still cathodal to L.     

Murine leukemia cell hybrids: The quantity of TL antigens expressed by parental and hybrid cells fails to correlate with their sensitivity to TL antibody and complement

The quantity of thymus-leukemia (TL) antigens expressed by murine leukemia cells is significantly greater than that expressed by somatic hybrids of such cells. Based upon the results of ¹²⁵I-lactoperoxidase labeling and antibody absorption procedures, and corrected for size differences between the two cell types, the quantity of TL antigens expressed by RADA-1 cells, a radiation-induced murine leukemia cell line of strain A/J mice, is approximately 5.0 times greater than that of somatic hybrids of RADA-1 and LM(TK)^? cells. LM(TK)^? cells are a thymidine kinase-deficient TL(-) mouse fibroblast cell line. The quantity of TL antigens expressed is related only in part to their susceptibility to lysis by TL antibodies and guinea pig complement (GPC). RADA-1 cells resist lysis. The quantity of TL antigens expressed by RADA-1 cells is analogous to that formed by nonneoplastic thymocytes obtained from F₁ hybrids of two strains of TL(+) and TL(-) mice; cells from both strains are sensitive to TL antiserum and GPC. ASL-1 cells, a spontaneously occurring leukemia cell line of A/J mice, express TL antigens in significantly higher quantities than any of the cell types examined. Exposed to TL antisera, the quantity of TL antigens of ASL-1 cells, but not that of hybrid cells, gradually diminishes. ASL-1 cells convert over a 6-h period of exposure to antibody and guinea pig complement (GPC) resistance; hybrid cells remain sensitive. However, ASL-1 cells converted to TL antibody and GPC resistance continue for a time to express TL antigens in quantities similar to that of sensitive F₁ thymocytes and resistant RADA-1 cells. RADA-1 X LM(TK)^? hybrid cells, which are sensitive to TL antibodies and GPC, express the lowest quantities of TL antigens of any of the cell types examined. It is likely that differences in the quantities of TL antigens expressed by different cell lines reflect genetic mechanisms controlling TL antigen expression. The failure of TL antisera to affect the quantities of TL antigens expressed by hybrid cells is taken as an indication that genetic controls governing antigen expression may be distinguished from those involved in regulating responsiveness to specific antiserum.
