    Notes: Abstract Two new N-glycosidase type-1 ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), denoted petroglaucin 1 and petrograndin, respectively, were isolated from the plantsPetrocoptis glaucifolia (Lag.) Boiss sp.viscosa (Rothm.) Laínz andPetrocoptis grandiflora Rothm. These new RIPs do not share H2N-terminal amino-acid sequence homology with petroglaucin (now denoted as petroglaucin 2), the only other type-1 RIP to be isolated fromP. glaucifolia (Arias et al. (1992) Planta186, 532–540). Petroglaucin 1 shares amino-acid sequence homology with RIPs from Cucurbitaceae while petroglaucin 2 and petrograndin do so with saporins and dianthin 30 (Caryophyllaceae). The new RIPs strongly inhibited protein synthesis at subnanomolar concentrations in rabbit reticulocyte lysates and other eukaryotic cell-free systems, but they were inactive on bacterial ribosomes.

    Notes: Abstract Petrocoptis glaucifolia, a paleoendemic member of the Caryophyllaceae from the North of Spain, was found to contain at least five proteins that inhibit protein synthesis in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate. One of them, for which the name petroglaucin is proposed, was purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity by chromatography through S-Sepharose Fast Flow, Sephadex G-75 and CM-Sepharose Fast Flow. The apparent Mr of the preparation was 27500. This protein does not contain appreciable glycan chains and displays 45.8% of NH2-terminal amino-acid sequence homology with some ribosome-inactivating proteins from Saponaria officinalis, another member of the Caryophyllaceae. Petroglaucin shows the following functional properties: (i) it strongly inhibits the rabbit-reticulocyte-lysate system and Vicia sativa cell-free extracts, both coded by endogenous messengers, and also inhibits poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis by Vicia sativa cell-free extracts and purified rat-liver ribosomes; (ii) it shows much less inhibitory capacity in wheat-germ, Cucumis sativus and rat-liver cell-free systems coded by endogenous messengers; (iii) the inhibitory effects on purified rat-liver ribosomes were irreversible; (vi) it promotes the release of adenine from purified rat-liver ribosomes. The total activity of this translational inhibitor has been found to increase up to 11-fold during its purification, indicating that some regulatory factor that normally blocks the translational inhibitory activity of the ribosome-inactivating protein in crude extracts of the plant is removed during purification.

    Notes: Abstract Molar excess enthalpies H E at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure were determined for 12 binary liquid mixtures, 1-fluoropentane, 1-fluorohexane, or 1-fluorononane + a non-polar solvent (hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, or tetrachloromethane) and were interpreted by the DISQUAC group contribution model. 1-Fluoroalkane + n-alkane mixtures are characterized by two types of groups or contact surfaces, fluorine (F) and alkane (CH3, CH2), the remaining mixtures by the additional contact surfaces of the solvents (C6H12 C6H6, or CCl4). The interchange energies, entirely dispersive, of the alkane-solvent contacts were determined independently from the study of solvent-alkane mixtures. The dispersive F-alkane parameters were assumed to equal the parameters of perfluoroalkanes + n-alkanes. The shape of the H E curves of 1-fluorolkane + polarizable solvent (C6H6, CCl4) mixtures are best reproduced by the model when the quasi-chemical F-solvent parameters are assumed to equal zero. The quasi-chemical F-alkane (the same for n-alkanes and cyclohexane) and the dispersive F-solvent parameters were estimated in this work. The 1-fluoroalkane solutions in C6H6 or CCl4 exhibit the characteristic features of polar solute + polarizable solvent mixtures, viz., the deviations from the ideality are less positive than in alkanes and the experimental H E curves are strongly asymmetrical.
