    Notes: Summary The major amino acids released on hydrolysis of the acidic and basic HCN oligomers have been shown by combination GC-MS to be Gly, Asp, and diaminosuccinic acid. Smaller amounts of Ala, Ile andα-aminoisobutyric acid were also identified. No diaminosuccinic acid was isolated from the neutral HCN oligomers but Glu was observed instead. The amino acids obtained did not change appreciably if the hydrolysis medium was changed from neutral to acidic or basic pH. The presence of bothmeso andd, l-diaminosuccinic acid was established from combination paper chromatography-amino acid analyzer data.

    Notes: Abstract The reannealing kinetics of denatured DNA fragments from 23 species of higher plants have been studied, using hydroxylapatite chromatography to distinguish reannealed from single-stranded DNA. The 2C nuclear DNA contents of the species varied between 1.7 and 98 pg. The proportions of DNA in species with a nuclear DNA mass above 5 pg that reannealed with the kinetics of sequences present in more than 100 copies were high (69–92% with a mean of 80±2.0%). For species with less than 4 pg of DNA, the mean proportion of repeated-sequence DNA was 62±2.9%. It is concluded that most of the variation in nuclear DNA mass in higher plant chromosomes can be accounted for by variation in repeated-sequence DNA. The consequences of altering the adapted DNA content of a species by the addition of families of repeated sequences are discussed in relation to the proportion of repeated-sequence DNA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des études précédentes suggèrent la présence de groupements carboxyles, sulfhydriles et aminés dans les sites de liaison en calcium de l'élastine. La possibilité de l'existence de sites neutres de liaison en calcium au niveau de l'élastine a été étudiée dans ce travail. Une augmentation de la fixation du calcium au niveau de l'élastine est observée après des modifications de dissolution qui ont aussi provoqué des modifications de structure de la protéine. Dans des mélanges méthanol-H2O, les liaisons du calcium semblent indépendantes du pH et de la force ionique. Sur dix ions testés (Ca2+, CO2+, Na2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cr3+, Pb+2, K+, Rb+ et Mg2+) seule la liaison du calcium est nettement augmentée, lorsque le méthanol est ajouté. Il semble que les sites neutres sont importants pour les divers rapports entre calcium et élastine et servent, peut-être, comme centres de nucléation au cours de la calcification de la protéine.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Vorgängige Studien haben die Bedeutung der Carboxyl-, Sulfhydryl- und Aminogruppen als Stellen der Calciumbindung im Elastin gezeigt. Die vorliegende Arbeit hatte zum Ziel, die Rolle der neutralen Koordinationsstellen im Elastin als mögliche Calcium-Bindungsseite abzuklären. Die Calciumbindindung an das Elastin wurde durch solche Lösungsmittelveränderungen erhöht, die auch gleichartige Verschiebungen im Proteinmolekül bewirkten. In Methanol-Wasser-Mischungen schien die Calciumbindung nicht von Veränderungen des pH oder der Ionenstärke abhängig zu sein. Von 10 Ionen, bei welchen die Bindung überprüft wurde, war einzig diejenige des Calciums signifikant erhöht, wenn Methanol zugesetzt wurde. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß die neutralen Stellen für die verschiedenen Vorgänge, bei welchen Calcium und Elastin beteiligt sind, eine wichtige Rolle spielen und vielleicht für die Verkalkung der Proteine als Nukleationszentren in Frage kommen.
    Notes: Abstract Previous studies have implicated carboxyl groups, sulphhydryl groups and amino groups as the sites for calcium binding in elastin. In this study, the concept was investigated that neutral co-ordinating sites in elastin may also provide calcium binding sites. Calcium binding to elastin was increased upon solvent changes which also effected conformational changes in the protein. In methanol-H2O mixtures calcium binding appeared to be independent of changes in pH and ionic strength. Of ten ions tested (Ca2+, Co2+, Na+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cr3+, Pb+2, K+, Rb+, and Mg2+), only calcium binding was significantly increased when methanol was added. It is proposed that neutral sites are important to the various relationships involving calcium and elastin and perhaps serve as nucleation centers in the calcification of the protein.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des cals expérimentaux de neuf jours, formés au niveau de radius de jeunes rats, sont traités par la méthode calcium-cobalt de Gomori (1939) pour la mise en évidence ultrastructurale de la phosphatase alcaline afin d'étudier son rôle éventuel dans le dépôt du calcium. L'activité enzymatique apparait initialement sous forme de précipités globulaires en dehors de la membrane cellulaire de jeunes chondroblastes hypertrophiques. Ce précipité donne ensuite naissance à des corps sphériques de phosphatase alcaline qui se forme près de la cellule. Ces corps sphériques s'observent dans une zone intermédiaire plus éloignée. Une formation de cristaux en aiguilles (apparemment une calcification) se développe dans des corps isolés ou agrégés, laissant voir nettement leurs limites, même lorsque la calcification est plus avancée au point qu'on ne peut plus distinguer des cristaux individuels. Au niveau des coupes témoins, traitées de façon identique mais sans substrat ou avec de l'E.D.T.A., on n'observe ni précipité enzymatique ou corps sphériques. L'aspect des dépôts cristallins dans des corps qui contiennent de la phosphatase alcaline ne peut s'expliquer que par l'existence d'une association étroite entre enzymes et calcification.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Neun Tage alter experimenteller Kallus an Radii von jungen Ratten wurde mit Gomori's (1939) Calcium-Kobalt Methode untersucht, um die Verteilung der alkalischen Phosphatase und ihre Beziehung zur Calciumablagerung ultrastrukturell zu demonstrieren. Enzymaktivität zeigte sich zuerst als globulares Präzipitat außerhalb der Zellmembran von Knorpelzellen im Beginn der Hypertrophie. Aus dieser Präzipitatschicht entstanden dann gerundete Körperchen, die sich von der Zelle abtrennten. Solche Körperchen wurden auch in größerer Entfernung von der Zelle beobachtet, d.h. in einer Zwischenzone zwischen benachbarten Zellen. Nadelförmige Kristalle, wahrscheinlich von Calcium-Salzen, wurden in einzelnen oder aggregierten Körperchen beobachtet. Die äußere Zone der Körperchen blieb jedoch deutlich sichtbar, selbst dann, wenn der Calciumgehalt derart zugenommen hatte, daß einzelne Kristalle nicht länger erkennbar waren. In Kontrollen, die in gleicher Weise behandelt waren, aber ohne Substrat oder mit Zufügung von EDTA, wurden weder Präzipitate noch Körperchen beobachtet. Das Auftreten von Calciumablagerungen in alkalischer Phosphatase enthaltenden Körperchen scheint kaum anders erklärbar als durch eine enge funktionelle Verbindung zwischen Enzym und Calciumablagerung.
    Notes: Abstract Nine day old experimental calluses in radii of young rats were treated with Gomori's (1939) calcium-cobalt method to demonstrate ultrastructurally the presence of alkaline phosphatase in a search for its possible role in the desposition of calcium. Enzyme activity first appeared as globule-like precipitates outside the cell membrane of early hypertrophic cartilage cells. This precipitate layer then seemed to give rise to spherical bodies of alkaline phosphatase which occur at a slight distance from the cell. The spherical bodies were also observed further away from the cell in an intermediate zone between neighboring cells. Needle-like crystal formation, apparently calcification, occurred inside single or aggregated bodies, leaving their peripheral rim clearly visible, even when calcification had increased to such an extent that individual crystals could no longer be recognised. In controls, treated in the same way but without substrate, or with EDTA, no enzyme precipitate or spherical bodies were seen. The appearance of crystalline deposits in bodies which contain alkaline phosphatase seems difficult to explain on any other basis than that there is a close functional association between the enzyme and calcification.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Die Aufnahme, der Abbau von Threonin, Isoleucin, Valin und Leucin zu höheren Alkoholen, die Steuerung der hieran beteiligten Vorgänge und der Aminosäurestoffwechsel in Abhängigkeit vom Aminosäureangebot wurde bei einer Mutante von Saccharomyces cerevisiae, genetische Marker a, ade2, hom2, thr4, ilv2, leu 1 untersucht. 2. Durch ein steigendes Angebot der vier Aminosäuren wird die Zellmasse im der Regel vermehrt. Dabei führen Valin und Leucin zu einem höheren Zellertrag als Threonin oder Isoleucin. Bei geringen Gesamtaminosäurekonzentrationen werden die vier Aminosäuren fast vollständig aufgenommen. Bei höheren Gesamtaminosäurekonzentrationen bleiben bis 20% im Medium zurück. Die Aufnahme der vier Aminosäuren wird von dem Mengenverhältnis zueinander beeinflußt. Eine Aminosäure wird um so stärker aufgenommen, je mehr das Mengenverhältnis zu ihren Gunsten verschoben ist. Die Aminosäuren konkurrieren miteinander um die Aufnahme in die Zellen. 3. Die aufgenommenen Aminosäuren werden in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß zu den entsprechenden höheren Alkoholen abgebaut, Isoleucin und Leucin bis zu 90%, Valin zu maximal 24% und Threonin zu 20%. Die vier Aminosäuren konkurrieren um den Abbau zu den entsprechenden höheren Alkoholen. Dieser Befund steht mit der Annahme von Enzymen in Einklang, die unspezifisch den Abbau der vier Aminosäuren zu höheren Alkoholen katalysieren.
    Notes: Abstract 1. The influence of varying amounts of amino acids on the uptake of threonine, isoleucine, valine and leucine and their degradation to higher alcohols was investigated using a mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mating type a, genetic markers ade2, hom2, thr4, ilv2, leu1. 2. The cell mass is increased by increasing concentrations of threonine, isoleucine, valine and leucine, the latter two resulting in a higher dry weight. The amino acids are completely utilised at low concentrations. At higher contents up to 20% of the amino acids remain in the medium. The uptake of threonine, isoleucine, valine and leucine depends on the relative amounts of the concentrations of these amino acids in the medium. A greater amount of an amino acid is taken up if its concentration is comparatively higher than those of the other amino acids. There is a competition between the amino acids for the uptake into the cells. Higher amounts of intracellular isoleucine and leucine are converted to 2-and 3-methylbutanol when compared with the degradation of valine and threonine to isobutanol and n-propanol-1, isoleucine and leucine up to 90%, valine up to 24% and threonine up to 20%. There is a competition between the four amino acids for their degradation to the corresponding higher alcohols. This behaviour confirms the earlier assumption of a degradation of the four amino acids by unspecific enzymes.

    Notes: Abstract A configuration selection method for CI calculations is discussed and applied in which the energy lowering produced in a secular equation by the addition of a given test species to a series of dominant configurations is used as an ordering parameter. Configurations with energy lowerings below a given energy cut-off value are not included in the final secular equations but instead a method of estimating the combined effect of the neglected species on the corresponding non-selected CI results is developed. The influence of the choice of main configurations used in the selection process is given close examination as well as the importance of the MO basis employed in the treatment as a whole; in the latter case a non-iterative procedure for obtaining approximate natural orbitals for such calculations is suggested. The resulting configuration selection procedure is equally applicable to all types of electronic states in any nuclear geometry and the results of the associated CI calculations are seen to be essentially equivalent to a complete treatment in which all single- and double-excitation species with respect to aseries of dominant configurations in a given state are included.

    Notes: Summary The urethra of the rat was examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Under a transmission electron microscope flask-shaped chromaffin cells containing membrane-bound osmiophilic granules were seen to possess microvilli at their apical surfaces. The microvilli projected into large extracellular spaces which were apparently in continuity with the lumen of the urethra. Using scanning electron microscopy, a surface view of the lumen of the urethra was obtained. It showed a gently undulating surface with distinct intercellular boundaries. Scattered over the surface were numerous deep depressions between individual cells. These were thought to correspond with the large extracellular spaces into which microvilli had been seen to project. It is suggested that urethral chromaffin cells may “trigger” the afferent part of a reflex causing contraction of the urethral longitudinal muscle.

    Notes: Summary Electron microscope studies of the testes of five inbred and three outbred mouse strains show that the usual frequency of multinucleate spermatids is between one and two percent. In C57 BL/6J and A/Gr however it is higher (4–5%). The frequency of the shared acrosome condition, which would lead to the formation of an abnormal sperm, is 1.3 per thousand.

    Notes: Summary Palisade-shaped nerve endings of the small normal hairs of the rat snout were examined with the electron microscope (fixation by perfusion). The terminals are located inside the ‘glassy membrane’ in the area of the neck of the hair root. The 10–20 radially arranged terminal axons are in direct contact with the basement membrane of the epithelium of the external root sheath. The axons are surrounded on all sides by leaf-shaped processes of the Schwann cells. The surfaces of these cell processes are marked by numerous vesicle-like invaginations (approx. 1000 Å dia.). Transverse sections from several areas of the palisadeshaped nerve endings are compared with longitudinal sections. In the upper area ‘empty’ vesicles (approx. 500–600 Å in diameter) occur, along with electron-dense vesicles (approx. 800–1100 Å in diameter); in the middle area, the axons are distended and contain accumulations of mitochondria.
