    Notes: A new approach for pulse labelling of plants using the short-lived positron emitting radioisotope carbon-11 (half-life: 20.4 min) as 11CO2 is reported together with its application to measuring [11C]isoprene emissions from intact leaves capturing information associated with: (1) rate of emission; (2) the relative contribution of recently fixed carbon to isoprene biosynthesis; and (3) the transit time for tracer movement through the leaf and biochemical pathways associated with isoprene biosynthesis. This approach was applied to study the response of certain Populus species to exogenous treatments of jasmonic acid (JA), a plant hormone implicated in signal transduction linked to defence response against herbivory. Twelve hours after treatment of single intact leaves of aspen (Populus tremuloides) with a 1 m m JA spray, isoprene emissions from those leaves increased 1.5 times the controls from 35.4 ± 2.2 to 53.1 ± 4.8 nmol m−2 s−1. [11C]Isoprene emissions from the same leaves, reflecting the isoprene that was derived from recently fixed carbon, increased much more, to 2.2 times the controls. This increase coincided with a change in emitted [11C]isoprene from 0.31 to 0.68% of 11C fixed in the leaf tissue, while the tracer transit time remained constant at 12.5 min. These results suggest that JA had no effect on enzyme kinetics involved in isoprene biosynthesis, but did impact the source of recent carbon feeding that pathway. Studies with poplar (Populus nigra clone NC 5271) showed similar trends in systemic emissions (from an untreated leaf on the same plant).

    Notes: Structural genes of phospholipid biosynthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are activated by the Ino2p/Ino4p transcription factor that binds to ICRE promoter motifs and mediates maximal gene expression in the absence of inositol. We identified the ino80 mutation causing inositol auxotrophy as a result of a defect in ICRE-dependent gene activation. The product of the corresponding wild-type gene INO80 (= YGL150C) shows significant similarity to the Snf2p family of DNA-dependent ATPases. Nevertheless, SNF2 in increased gene dosage did not suppress ino80 mutant phenotypes. Mutation of the Ino80p lysine residue corresponding to the NTP binding site of Snf2p led to a non-functional protein. In ino80 null mutants, gene activation mediated by an ICRE decreased to 16% of the wild-type level. Maximal expression of PHO5, GAL1, CYC1 and ICL1 was also significantly reduced. Thus, Ino80p affects several transcription factors involved in unrelated pathways. As demonstrated by gel filtration, Ino80p is part of a high-molecular-weight complex of more than 1 MDa. Similar to what was found for Snf2p, the Ino80p-containing complex may influence the transcriptional level of several unrelated structural genes by functioning as an ATPase that possibly acts on chromatin.

    Notes: In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, growth with a non-fermentable carbon source requires co-ordinate transcriptional activation of gluconeogenic structural genes by an upstream activation site (UAS) element, designated CSRE (carbon source-responsive element). The zinc cluster protein encoded by CAT8 is necessary for transcriptional derepression mediated by a CSRE. Expression of CAT8 as well as transcriptional activation by Cat8p is regulated by the carbon source, requiring a functional Cat1p (= Snf1p) protein kinase. The importance of both regulatory levels was investigated by construction of CAT8 variants with a constitutive transcriptional activation domain (INO2TAD) and/or a carbon source-independent promoter (MET25 ). Whereas a reporter gene driven by a CSRE-dependent synthetic minimal promoter showed a 40-fold derepression with wild-type CAT8, an almost constitutive expression was found with a MET25–CAT8–INO2TAD fusion construct due to a dramatically increased gene activation under conditions of glucose repression. Similar results were obtained with the mRNA of the isocitrate lyase gene ICL1 and at the level of ICL enzyme activity. Taking advantage of a Cat8p size variant, we demonstrate its binding to the CSRE. Our data show that carbon source-dependent transcriptional activation by Cat8p is the most important mechanism affecting the regulated expression of gluconeogenic structural genes.

    Notes: The ACS1 gene, encoding one out of two acetyl-CoA synthetase isoenzymes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is strictly regulated at the transcriptional level by the carbon source of the medium. While ACS1 is poorly expressed in the presence of a high glucose concentration, a several hundred-fold derepression occurs with ethanol as the sole carbon source or under conditions of sugar limitation. The molecular mechanism responsible for the carbon source control of ACS1 turned out to be highly complex. A carbon source-responsive element (CSRE), previously identified upstream of gluconeogenic structural genes, and a binding site of the alcohol dehydrogenase regulator, Adr1p, together mediate about 80% of the derepressed gene activity. Binding of Adr1p synthesized by Escherichia coli to the ACS1 control region was shown by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. In addition to these activating elements, two URS1 motifs confer negative control on the ACS1 promoter. The URS1 element was found to be a constitutive repression site, which is most effective from a downstream position with respect to an upstream activation site (UAS). In a mutant lacking the URS1-binding factor, Ume6p, ACS1 expression was partially glucose insensitive. Ume6p must counteract transcription factors that are constitutively active. Site-directed mutagenesis of Abf1p binding sites in the ACS1 promoter significantly reduced gene expression in the ume6 mutant, grown under repressing conditions. Thus, a functional balance of the pleiotropic positive factor Abf1p and the negative factor Ume6p is in part responsible for glucose repression of ACS1. The combined influence of the regulated UAS elements, CSRE and Adr1p binding site, mediates a strong increase in ACS1 expression under derepressing conditions.

    Notes: Regulated expression of structural genes involved in yeast phospholipid biosynthesis is mediated by inositol/choline-responsive element (ICRE) upstream motifs, bound by the heterodimeric activator complex Ino2 + Ino4. Gene repression occurs in the presence of sufficient inositol and choline, requiring an intact Opi1 repressor which binds to Ino2. For a better understanding of interactions among regulators, we mapped an 18 aa repressor interaction domain (RID, aa 118–135) within Ino2 necessary and sufficient for binding by Opi1. By alanine scanning mutagenesis of the entire RID we were able to identify nine residues critical for Opi1-dependent repression of Ino2 function. Consequently, the corresponding dominant Ino2 variants conferred constitutive expression of an ICRE-dependent reporter gene and were no longer inhibited even by overproduction of Opi1. Interestingly, Ino2 RID partially overlaps with transcriptional activation domain TAD2. As certain mutations exclusively affect repression while others affect both repression and activation, both functions of Ino2 can be functionally uncoupled. Correspondingly, we mapped the RID–binding activator interaction domain (AID, aa 321–380) at the C-terminus of Opi1 and introduced missense mutations at selected positions. An Opi1 variant simultaneously mutated at three highly conserved positions showed complete loss of repressor function, confirming RID–AID interaction as the crucial step of regulated expression of ICRE-dependent genes.

    Notes: A procedure for non-destructive inspection by taking into account the effects of stochastic fatigue crack growth is presented. For this purpose a Markoff chain model is used to update the crack statistics, allowing an efficient computational implementation and a clear account of the involved concepts. In this context, perfect and imperfect removal of cracks, respectively, are considered, which represent idealizations defining bounds for actual situations.

    Description / Table of Contents: The relationship of the intercrystalline corrosion of a non-stabilised 18/10-chromium-nickel steel with some test solutions and with the potential in boiling 2 n H2SO4Specimens of an austenitic 18/20 nickelchromium steel with about 0.06 pC C, quenched at 1300° C and annealed for different periods of time at 550 or 675° C were potentiostatically subjected to the attack of boiling 2n-H2SO4, of a nitric / hydrofluoric acid pickle at room temperature, and of boiling acids in accordance with the Strauss, Huey and Streicher test. Subsequently, the corrosion rates were determined by weighing and the corrosion examined by visual inspection and microscopically.In the active and passive condition grain boundary corrosion is only encountered after sensitizing annealing. In this connection, the potential merely determines the intensity of the grain boundary attack, but not its occurrence as such. The influence of the potential is more marked at higher than at lower sensitizing annealing temperatures. The test results can easily be interpreted with the aid of the chrome reduction theory.In the transition zone to the transpassive condition, and in the latter, an intercrystalline corrosion attack occurs which depends but little on the sensitizing annealing, and which also occurs with solution-annealed specimens. It is also in this zone of the potential that the non-potentiostatic tests according to Huey and Streicher are carried out.The test results show a specific reaction to chrome reduction of the corrosion attack in the active and passive condition, i.e. the attack in the hydrofluoric/nitric acid pickle and in the Strauss solution. In contrast, the Huey and Streicher tests additionally bring in other properties which, in the main, have an influence on the excess potential of the cathodic part-reaction. These testing agents cannot be regarded as specific criteria for the grain decomposition proneness.
    Notes: Proben eines austenitischen 18/10-Chrom-Nickel-Stahles mit etwa 0,06% C, die von 1300° C abgeschreckt und verschieden lange bei 550 und 675° C geglüht worden waren, wurden potentiostatisch dem Angriff siedender 2n-H2SO4, einer Salpetersäure-Flußsäure-Beize bei Raumtemperatur sowie dem Angriff siedender Säuren entsprechend dem Strauß, Huey- und Streicher-Test unterworfen. Anschließend werden die Korrosionsgeschwindigkeiten durch Wägung bestimmt und der Korrosionsangriff visuell und mikroskopisch im Schliffbild untersucht.Im Aktiv- und Passivzustand tritt Korngrenzenkorrosion nur nach einer Sensibilisierungsglühbehandlung auf. Das Potential bestimmt hierbei nur die Intensität des Korngrenzenangriffs und nicht das Auftreten desselben an sich. Der Einfluß des Potentials ist bei hohen Sensibilisierungslühtemperaturen stärker ausgeprägt, als bei niedrigen Temperaturen. Die Versuchsergebnisse lassen sich mit Hilfe der Chromverarmungstheorie zwanglos deuten.Im Übergangsbereich zum Transpassivzustand erfolgt ein interkristalliner Angriff, der nur wenig von der Sensibilisierungsglühbehandlung abhängt und auch bei lösungsgeglühten Proben auftritt. In diesem Potentialbereich erfolgen auch die nicht potentiostatischen Prüfungen nach Huey und Streicher.Die Versuchsergebnisse zeigen, daß der Angriff im Aktiv- und Passivzustand, also der Angriff in der Flußsäure-Salpeter- Beize und in der Straußschen Lösung, spezifisch auf Chromverarmung ansprechen. Beim Huey- und Streicher-Test werden dagegen zusätzlich noch Eigenschaften, die im wesentlichen die Überspannung der kathodischen Teilreaktion beeinflussen, miterfaßt. Diese Prüfmittel können nicht als spezifisch für die Kornzerfallsanfälligkeit angesehen werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Building Units of Oligosaccharides, LXXVIII. - Synthesis of KDO-Containing Lipid A AnaloguesThe non-neighbouring group supported glycosidation of 12 with the suitably protected glycosyl bromide 9 of 2-azido-2-deoxy-D-glucose leads - in the presence of a heterogeneous silver catalyst - to the formation of the β-(1→6)-glycosidically linked disaccharide 14. It consists of two 2-azido-2-deoxy-D-glucose units. Partial deblocking of 14 furnishes 15. On glycosidation with KDO bromide this compound yields the trisaccharide 16, which contains a KDO unit in an α-(2→6) ketosidic bond. Reduction of the two azido groups followed by amidation with (R)-3-hydroxymyristic acid and further deblocking generates the trisaccharide α-KDO-(2→6)-β-D-GlcA-(1→6)-D-GlcA 20 with two 3-hydroxy fatty acid residues in an amidic linkage.
    Notes: Die Umsetzung des Pyranosylbromids 9 der 2-Azido-2-desoxy-D-glucose mit dem Akzeptor 12 führt bei Gegenwart eines heterogenen Silberkatalysators ohne Nachbargruppenbeteiligung unter Inversion zum β-(1→6)-glycosidisch verknüpften Disaccharid 14 aus zwei 2-Azido-2-desoxy-D-glucose-Einheiten. Nach partieller Entblockierung zu 15 ist die Anknüpfung eines KDO-Restes unter Bildung einer α-(2→6)-ketosidischen Bindung zum Trisaccharid 16 möglich. Nach Reduktion der Azidogruppen und Anknüpfung von (R)-3-Hydroxymyristinsäure-Resten gelangt man nach Entblockierung zum Trisaccharid α-KDO-(2→6)-β-D-GlcA-(1→6)-D-GlcA 20, das amidartig zwei 3-Hydroxyfettsäure-Reste gebunden enthält.
