    Notes: A method of insertional mutagenesis for naturally transformable organisms has been adapted from Haemophilus influenzae and applied to the study of the pathogenesis of Campylobacter jejuni. A series of kanamycin-resistant Insertional mutants of C. jejuni 81–176 has been generated and screened for loss of ability to invade INT407 cells. Eight noninvasive mutants were identified which showed 18-200-fold reductions in the level of invasion compared with the parent. Three of these eight show defects in motility, and five are fully motile. The three mutants with motility defects were further characterized to evaluate the method. One mutant, K2–32, which is non-adherent and non-invasive, has an insertion of the kanamycin-resistance cassette into the flaA flagellin gene and has greatly reduced motility and a truncated flagellar filament typical of flaA mutants. The adherent non-invasive mutants K2–37 and K2–55 are phenotypically paralysed, i.e. they have a full-length flagellar filament but are non-motile. All three mutants show an aberration in flagellar structure at the point at which the filament attaches to the cell. Mutants K2–37 and K2–55 represent overlapping deletions affecting the same gene, termed pflA (paralysed flagella). This gene encodes a predicted protein of 788 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of 90 977 with no significant homology to known proteins. Site-specific insertional mutants into this open reading frame result in the same paralysed flagellar phenotype and the same invasion defects as the original mutants.

    Components of phototaxis of the nematode Mermis nigrescens (1990)

    Notes: Summary The gravid females of Mermis are positively phototaxic at the time of their migration to egglaying sites in vegetation on which their grasshopper hosts feed. On a horizontal felt surface, segments of the path traced by the tail are oriented approximately towards a source of monochromatic light in the 350–540 nm region, but are not oriented at longer wavelengths and in the dark. The components of this phototaxis include locomotion by the posterior 4/5 of the body, orientational bending of the neck region while the anterior is held above the substrate, and a scanning motion (bending) of the head region (anterior 2 mm). Like other nematodes and snakes, propulsion is associated with posteriorly propagated body waves, but unlike other animals known, the waves tend to lie perpendicular to a felt surface, and unlike other nematodes, contact with the surface is on the female's ventral surface. The body waves are initiated by the motion of the anterior 1/5 (15 mm) of the body, the average orientation of which determines the path of the following 4/5. During phototaxis, the anterior tip is swung both sideways and vertically about the direction towards the light source. The tip motion is a result of a scanning motion of the head and a slower orientational bending of the neck. The base of the head appears to be actively directed towards the source by the bending of the neck. This behavior can resolve two light sources positioned 120° apart but not 90° apart. The scanning motion of the head is independent of neck orientation and appears to enhance the probability of discovering the direction of a new source. Discovery is followed by a directed turn of the base of the head towards the source which is initiated by the bending of the neck. Locomotion of the body follows the path of the anterior through the turn and phototaxis is thus initiated.

    Scanning motion, ocellar morphology and orientation mechanisms in the phototaxis of the nematode Mermis nigrescens (1990)

    Notes: Summary The putative ocellus of Mermis females consists of a hollow cylinder of dense hemoglobin pigmentation located in the anterior tip. The exact location of the photoreceptive nerve endings, however, is unknown. During phototaxis a continual bending or scanning motion of the head (anterior 2 mm) causes the orientation of the tip to swing about the direction of the source. By turning off (shuttering) the light source whenever the tip orientation was to one side of the source direction, the average orientation of the base of the head, and eventually the body orientation, was caused to be biased about 28° to the opposite side. Because the shuttering was synchronized with the scanning motion, the scanning motion must be involved in the maintenance of orientation to light. The direction of the bias rules out a two-signal comparison mechanism of orientation and demonstrates that a deviation of the tip from the source direction must decrease, rather than increase, the illumination of the photoreceptors. These findings, and the ocellar morphology, require that the photoreceptors be located inside the hollow tube of pigmentation where they can be shadowed by the pigment during deviations of the tip. Focusing by the curved anterior end should cause a similar modulation of the illumination at this location. The occasional episodes of transverse phototaxis can be explained by the leakiness of the pigment walls to transverse illumination. Analysis of the motion of the anterior in the presence and absence of shuttering indicates that the orientation of the base of the head, due to the motion of the neck, is controlled by the signals generated during one or more cycles of the scanning motion of the head. The orientation may be regulated by the phase relationship between the photoreceptor signal and putative proprioceptive signals that indicate the bending in the head.

    Contribution of collagen and mineral to the elastic anisotropy of bone (1994)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract It has long been thought that collagen fibers within the bone matrix are deposited in an aligned pattern that channels mineral growth. If this model of bone structure is correct, both organic and inorganic phases of bone should have similar elastic anisotropy. Using an acoustic microscope, we measured longitudinal and transverse acoustic velocities of cortical specimens taken from 10 dog femurs before and after removal of either the mineral (using 10% EDTA) or collagen phases (using 7% sodium hypochlorite) and calculated longitudinal (CL) and transverse (CT) elastic coefficients. The anisotropy ratio (CL/CT) decreased significantly after demineralization (1.61 before versus 1.06 after, P〈0.0001, paired t-test). However, there was no significant change after decollagenization (1.51 before versus 1.48 after, P=0.617, paired t-test). We conclude that the orientation of mineral crystals is the primary determinant of bone anisotropy, and the collagen matrix within osteonal bone has little directional orientation.

    Remodeling and the repair of fatigue damage (1993)
    Springer
    Calcified tissue international 53 (1993), S. S75 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0827
    Keywords: Microdamage ; Remodeling ; Fatigue ; Osteoporosis
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Medicine , Physics
    Notes: Summary This paper reviews the direct and indirect evidence for and against the idea that bone remodeling repairs fatigue damage. It defines experiments that should be performed to determine whether the accumulation and repair of fatigue damage is relevant to the pathogenesis of osteoporotic fracture. The experimental evidence favors the hypothesis that microdamage evokes local remodeling. The data suggest that the balance between the microdamage burden and bone repair is nearly constant. The indirect evidence comes from clinical observations that show positive relationships between depressed bone formation rate or prolonged remodeling period with bone fracture. More compelling indirect evidence comes from studies in which bone remodeling was pharmaceutically depressed, and fracture incidence rose in direct proportion. Data on microdamage accumulation were not collected in these studies. Conversely, some experimental evidence disputes a direct relationship between fatigue microdamage and repair. In these studies, increased amounts of bone microdamage in hyperadrenocortical dogs, and in irradiated dogs, could not be demonstrated even though bone fragility increased without associated osteopenia. Finally, the indirect evidence that argues that microdamage does not initiate repair is based on inference and does not provide an adequate test of the hypothesis. In balance, the current body of evidence favors the contention that bone remodeling repairs fatigue damage and thereby prevents fracture. Future studies should verify that microdamage accumulates when bone fracture occurs in conjunction with depressed remodeling activation frequency.

    Notes: Abstract Heat-shocked maize seedlings (cv. Oh43) synthesize a characteristic set of heat-shock proteins (hsps) which include an 18 kDa family containing at least six major isoelectric variants. A cDNA library was constructed from poly(A)+ RNAs isolated from the radicles of heat-shocked maize seedlings and screened with a DNA fragment from the theoretical open reading frame of a putative Black Mexican Sweet maize hsp 18 genomic clone. Two clones, cMHSP18-3 and cMHSP18-9, were isolated, and the RNA transcripts generated from them were translated into proteins which immunoreact with antibodies directed against the maize 18 kDa hsps and exhibit the same electrophoretic characteristics as two different members of the 18 kDa hsp family. Nucleotide sequence analyses of the cDNAs in these clones reveal that their 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions exhibit 33–34% identity and that their protein encoding regions share 93% identity. The deduced amino acid sequences of these clones show 90% identity, and the apparent molecular masses and isoelectric points of these proteins agree with those established for two different 18 kDa hsps, numbered 3 and 6. This report substantiates that at least two of the 18 kDa hsps in maize are products of different but related genes. Moreover, it establishes that transcripts for these proteins accumulate during heat shock and that both their nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences share extensive similarities with the class VI small hsps in soybean and with transcripts expressed during meiosis in Lilium.
