Change in growth kinetics of hybridoma cells entrapped in collagen gel affected by alkaline supply

The growth yields for glucose and glutamine of murine hybridoma cells entrapped in collagen gel particles were examined during the growth phase. The immobilized hybridoma cells were cultivated in a fluidized bed fermenter where the medium was circulating to supply oxygen separately. Procedures to supply an alkaline solution for adjusting the pH level strongly affected the growth yields. A direct supply of the alkaline solution to the cultivation system reduced both the growth yields for glucose and glutamine, probably due to a local increase in pH level. On the other hand, when fresh medium in which the pH was adjusted to around 8.5 was added to the cultivation system, the growth yields were unchanged even at the same pH level as when direct alkaline supply was used. These results suggest that an indirect alkaline supply could be recommended to ajust the pH level when using medium-circulating-fermenters.

Effect of culture conditions on the isocitrate dehydrogenase and isocitrate lyase activities in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii , nitrogen staravation induced a reversible increase (2-fold) in NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-IDH; EC 1.1.1.41) and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH; EC 1.1.1.42) activities. Both enzymes were not affected by the concentration of CO₂, the dark or the nature of the nitrogen source (nitrate, nitrite, or ammonium). When cells growing autotrophically were transferred to heterotrophic conditions, a 40% reduction of the NAD-IDH activity was detected, a 2-fold increase of NADP-IDH was observed and isocitrate lyase (ICL; EC 4.1.3.1) activity was induced. The replacement of autotrophic conditions led to the initial activity levels. NAD- and NADP-IDH activities showed markedly different patterns of increase in synchronous cultures of this alga obtained by 12 h light/12 h dark transitions. While NAD-IDH increased in the last 4 h of the dark period, NADP-IDH increased during the last 4 h of the light period, remaining constant for the rest of the cycle.     

Identification of RAPD markers linked to a major rust resistance gene block in common bean

Rust in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), caused byUromyces appendiculatus (Pers.) Unger var.appendiculatus [ =U. phaseoli (Reben) Wint.], is a major disease problem and production constraint in many parts of the world. The predominant form of genetic control of the pathogen is a series of major genes which necessitate the development of efficient selection strategies. Our objective was focused on the identification of RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers linked to a major bean rust resistance gene block enabling marker-based selection and facilitating resistance gene pyramiding into susceptible bean germplasm. Using pooled DNA samples of genotyped individuals from two segregating populations, we identified two RAPD markers linked to the gene block of interest. One such RAPD, OF10₉₇₀ (generated by a 5-GGAAGCTTGG-3 decamer), was found to be closely linked (2.15±1.50 centi Morgans) in coupling with the resistance gene block. The other identified RAPD, OI19₄₆₀ (generated by a 5-AATGCGGGAG-3 decamer), was shown to be more tightly linked (also in coupling) than OF10₉₇₀ as no recombinants were detected among 97 BC₆F₂ segregating individuals in the mapping population. Analysis of a collection of resistant and susceptible cultivars and experimental lines, of both Mesoamerican and Andean origin, revealed that: (1) recombination between OF10₉₇₀ and the gene block has occurred as evidenced by the presence of the DNA fragment in several susceptible genotypes, (2) recombination between OI19₄₆₀ and the gene block has also occurred indicating that the marker is not located within the gene block itself, and (3) marker-facilitated selection using these RAPD markers, and another previously identified, will enable gene pyramiding in Andean germplasm and certain Mesoamerican bean races in which the resistance gene block does not traditionally exist. Observations of variable recombination among Mesoamerican bean races suggested suppression of recombination between introgressed segments and divergent recurrent backgrounds.Research supported by the Michigan Agricultural Research Station and the USDA-ARS.

Myosin light chain kinase expression during smooth muscle development

The expression of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) was investigated during chicken gizzard development. The molecular weight and the antigenic properties of MLCK did not change during development. The use of anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) enabled us to distinguish between MLCKs from post-hatched and adult chickens. A partial amino acid sequence determination of 4-day-old gizzard MLCK failed to disclose differences in the primary sequences of the two proteins. The results suggest that MLCK has the same primary sequence in all sequences of the two proteins. The results suggest that MLCK has the same primary sequence in all stages of gizzard development, although charge variants due to post-translational modifications may exist.     

Supported PCR: an efficient procedure to amplify sequences flanking a known DNA segment

We describe a novel modification of the polymerase chain reaction for efficient in vitro amplification of genomic DNA sequences flanking short stretches of known sequence. The technique utilizes a target enrichment step, based on the selective isolation of biotinylated fragments from the bulk of genomic DNA on streptavidin-containing support. Subsequently, following ligation with a second universal linker primer, the selected fragments can be amplified to amounts suitable for further molecular studies. The procedure has been applied to recover T-DNA flanking sequences in transgenic tomato plants which could subsequently be used to assign the positions of T-DNA to the molecular map of tomato. The method called supported PCR (sPCR) is a simple and efficient alternative to techniques used in the isolation of specific sequences flanking a known DNA segment.
